Question about the gargoyle quest

[Awkad]

Hi, I read in every walktrough that before dealing with the gargoyle in the asian theater, the player should go to strauss. And with a sufficient level of persuasion he can learn a few things about said gargoyle. My question is : How do you ever know that you have to go to see strauss when you don't use the internet and aren't a tremere. I can't figure out what I missed. My thanks. (sorry if it has already been discussed but I did not find a relevant answer to this particular question of mine).

Oh. I don't know where that idea came from then.

You tell him about the connection if you betray Strauss, so you might have remembered that :)!

I've never ratted Strauss so I know that's not it. Maybe I've just played the game so many times I just started making assumptions.

If you find the chantry you'll find the book. Even with low perception it still gives off an aura, it's impossible to miss. Then when Issac starts talking about gargoyles you put two and two together. Not to sound mean but most people won't need a walkthrough for this.

There's no guarantee someone will find the book. It's entirely possible for someone to glance through the doorway, see nothing, and move on. It's entirely possible for someone to find the book and not make the connection when Isaac presents the quest. It's entirely possible to get the gargoyle quest before meeting Strauss. You're making assumptions.

That's what makes Bloodlines great in my opinion. Not all the hand-holding of modern games!

That's one of the many things what makes Bloodlines great in my opinion. Not all the hand-holding of modern games!

Fixed that for ya :)

I'm playing UP basic. I just picked up the gargoyle quest. I've gone without getting the gargoyle book and the quest log contains no reference to the Tremere or Strauss.

I then load a save prior to picking up the quest. I went back to the chantry and got that book. The quest log quite directly suggests paying Strauss a visit.

So, it's all about finding that book.

In regard to a previous post by me, I also tried talking to Isaac to see if anything would trigger a memory as to why I thought he said something about the Tremere. Nothing. I think I just played the game so much and so I started thinking he said something about the Tremere because of the quest log, mixing things up in my head.

I indeed missed the book and I am far from an expert of WoD. Thank you all for your replies !
