How to unlock the Road of the Beast achievement in Vampire: The Masquerade - Swansong - Definitive Guide
I got this during scene 8 with Emem in the Anarch Domain.
When heading to Rafa's barge I chose to go through the sewers which built up my hunger. To do this you need to:
- Grab the tunnel key from the box on the wall in Thane’s office at the start (left most door when on the balcony).
- Head out the back of the Anarch's vessel warehouse (19 on the side of the building) after finding the safe zone and turn right.
- Head down into the tunnel on the left, go through the locked gate and keep going forward.
- Blink across the gaps to almost max out your hunger - I needed to feed on one rat on the barge as you need to use Auspex to get into the hidden room, but you may not need to do this.
My hunger meter was flashing red before the confrontation with Rafa, and once I had the confrontation and won it, I got the achievement.

Note: See the Confrontations section in our Complete Walkthrough's Glossary for a detailed walkthrough on Confrontations.
Your Hunger meter is the second meter at the top-left of your screen, represented by purple drops, and is also known as "Vitae". The more drops you have, the higher your level of Hunger. You get hungrier each time you use a Discipline's ability, and how many drops you earn each time is dependent on various factors, primarily your Skills & Disciplines and their levels.
It is vitally important that you do not allow your Hunger meter to max out, otherwise your character will lose control and attack and kill random people, almost certainly exposing you to suspicion and a possible breach of the Masquerade, depending on location. The only way to lower your Hunger is by feeding on blood. In most cases, that will come from luring "vessels" (AKA humans who are often specifically sourced [read: trafficked] for this purpose) to Safe Zones to feed on them. You can also feed on rats (see ’Proper’ vampires frown on this ), but aside from doing it for the trophy, that is usually a last resort when there aren't any humans around, since rats remove far fewer Hunger points than feeding on humans does.
For this specific trophy, you're going to need to start a Confrontation while you're at a high hunger level and win. (See Polite conversation for more on Confrontations.) It seems anything above 5 Hunger should do the trick.
It's quite easy though, and, in all likelihood, you'll get this naturally as you play, so you shouldn't worry about it. In fact, you will likely get it during Stage 03: Leysha – Loft while you are investigating the crime scene at the party.
