So... I download CE 1.4 just a few days ago and started playing as a Nosferatu. I got to the Elizabeth Dane, do all of the things I normally do, and then go to leave, and it doesn't do anything once I jump back onto the little rubber boat. The only thing that I do differently is that I sneak past all of the guards, including the first one (eventually having to kill the guard in the bridge so that I can view the Sarcophagus from the little computer monitor.) Is it that one exception that keeps me from completing it, or is there something else?

To give the most basic blueprint (it's a basic level): I climb up the latter, cling to the walls and sneak past the first to guards, go up to the bridge like I normally would, kill the guard in the bridge, turn on the deck cams, view the Sarcophagus, go back downstairs, pick the lock of the door below the stairs, get the manifest, go to leave on the little rubber boat.

Does anything here look out of place? I just simply cannot finish the quest because it doesn't take me back to Santa Monica.

It seems you forgot to get the police report as well. So your tasks are not completed.

Where are the police reports? I don't remember ever having so much trouble! xD

The corrupt cop has one, and another copy is lying on a table somewhere on the deck. Don't know the exact position.

Okay, I guess I'll just avoid killing altogether (shame, since now I have to use Blood Buff to get the 1 extra point of Dexterity) and see the Sarcophagus up close. The cop just yells that there's a monster and then shoots me! xD Apparently, he isn't used to seeing Nosferatu. Thanks!

I didn't even know you could view the Sarcophagus from the deck cams, lol I learn something new every day. I always creep my way to viewing it up close and grab the police reports on the table on the deck along the way.

Haha, yeah, that's how I do it 90% of the time. I checked the table /by/ the Sarcophagus. There was a folder that said "Evidence," and two other things, but nothing that I could pick up. I went through the whole deck and couldn't find the files (or at least ones I could pick up.)

It's a while since I have played on the Dane ( my PhD study got me stuck before Griffith Park with my Nossie. Shame on real life ). But if I recall corectly, you should find the report 2 or 3 conteners right from the doors leading you out to the deck, on lower level, not the one with computer. The room with manifest has a door leading out, if I haven't messed it up. Memory doesn't seem to serve. Well, but it is somewhere on the right in the maze of corridors between cointainers. On a little table, just past two cops.

SPOILERS!!! Don't look!!

There, I gave a warning.

The manifest is on the table in the room below the security room. (Deck level, door is marked 'Records Room'; requires Lockpicking 6 to get in, unless you can 'Open All Doors' from the computer in the Security Room.) A door leads out to the deck behind a cop who will not like your face. (As if any one does, sewer rat. ) Obfuscate or sneak past.

A few containers past that cop (and the other two that join him as you're sneaking past), there is a left turn, 2 more cops, and a right turn. Just around the corner from that right turn is another table, with a copy of the police report.

I never settle for looking at the sarcophagus via the deck cameras. I always go check it myself. Even though you've technically done the job, how can you say you've checked it out if you don't look in person? Even if you don't have Obfuscate, there are ways to get close. I won't list those... any able-bodied Kindred should have no problem.

I tried getting close without beign seen. Twice. Never been able to.
So now i use da computer :]

I think I've snuck over to the Sarcophagus in person three or four times. Sure, I can get there most of the time, but currently, it's a quest I want to get in and get out of. Thanks for saying where the Police Report was (the one thing I was missing.) I've never played as a Nosferatu before, so I never needed to find it.

From the outer deck, the lock on the records room is only level 3. So if you sneak through the computer room and go the other way round it's even easier.

Haha, yeah, that crate dangling like a fish on a hook has been looking so tempting!
