Question How does this "point" to the location of the vampire?

Also be sure to take few steps back when confronting the Vampire, the slow mo of my tomahawk flying around his ear because I wanted to use cold weapons was so cinematic I wish I was recording, but I had to reload and try again like five times before I did take a step or two back and blasted him with stake shaped slug through the heart.

Last time I met him I blasted him with my double M1899, looted him, and finally set his corpse ablaze with a molotov. Just to be sure.

Ok. I have not played rdr2 since it came out. And it’s fascinating how many things I missed on my first play through. But how/when do I get this mission?

Not a mission properly, more of a very long drawn out easter egg. Basically you have to find 5 pieces of writing that is on the walls around Saint Denis and then you have to go to its location between midnight and 1 am.
It's one of those minor things like the UFO above the cabin that you need to find yourself and follow the clues too, theres no specific mission or objective that appears.

It's not really a mission, you find clues around the city and you'll get a chance at a random encounter. So it's very missable.

I'm sorry, what? There's a fucking vampire in the game? I just finished a playthrough last week. Guess I gotta start again

There’s is so freaking much in this game. Honestly just start over and thoroughly explore the entire map in every chapter and at different times of day. Investigate everything, talk to NPCs and listen to random convos that might hint at something. also, put off main missions until you just don’t have anything else to do. Really take your time and enjoy the full immersion of the world. IMO if it doesn’t take you at the very least, 200 hours, you rushed it.

At no "point" does anything say it "points" to the vampire.

u/Unusual_Trade5917 4d ago
Stupid online guides! All of them be like "points to the vampire".

u/Stellaaahhhh Sadie Adler 4d ago
For the love of your sanity, make a save before you confront that vampire. Also don't forget to pick up his knife.

Actually the center is the street you go down to get him to spawn… so it kinda does

u/geriatricsoul 4d ago
Go at night to the small alley directly across the street from the church. He'll be in there attacking someone

The vampire is down the alleyway that's shaped like an "L" between the butcher shop and the church, he appears at 12-1am. He will one shot you so kill him fast.

u/JestingAtom15 4d ago
It is pointing to it … ea player right here XD
Its showing you the general area of where it is Aka the middle of the weird star that weird shaped triangle is the area the vampire will spawn around At least that’s what I gather since I don’t have the game

I don’t think it is supposed too. I think it is just supposed to show what he stands for.

If you go exactly in the middle at night, you will see the random encounter white circle in the mini map

It "summons", they were trying to be cute or... I guess it was an attempt to summon the devil(?), that symbol is a Pentagram. Not to be confused with a Pentacle.

Never played the game but I thought it was Wild West stuff. Indians, cowboys, tarts, horses, bears and steam trains.
There’s vampires???
Should have been a spoiler alert.

It still severely pisses me off to this day that if you accidentally let him kill you, you lose the chance to get the dagger, forever.

u/x-sophie29 3d ago
He killed me straight away then I waited another 3days between 12 and 1am and he respawned so I shot him in the head then I got the knife

u/ChickenNuggetRampage 4d ago
That’s actually not true, sometimes it’ll take quite a while but eventually you can get another shot

It's not that the image points to the vampire. It's just that you must read all 5 clues to unlock the fact that the vampire can now appear on the map late at night. It's the same as needing to read all parts of a Treasure Map even though you might know exactly where the last part is before every going to the first location. Reading the clues are the unlocking/spawning mechanism.
