Vampire: The Masquerade - Swansong

MISSABLE

This trophy takes place in Scene 10 Part 1: Leysha – S.A.D. Base. Note: See Scene 10 Part 1 in our Complete Walkthrough for a detailed guide to seeing & getting everything you can in this Scene.

Like several others on this list, this trophy is for choosing one of the major story decisions over another, and there are trophies for both options, meaning you'll need to do both at some point. 

There will be many instances in which you will be given important decisions. These are obvious because, unlike normal dialogue decisions, the normal dialogue menu goes away and two options will appear on-screen in its stead. These are often timed, too, so be aware of that. If absolutely needed, you can pause the decision by opening the Main Menu (press Options button).

During Leysha's Scene 10 Part 1, you will be given the choice between killing Richard or sparing him. For this trophy in particular, you'll have to kill him to get it. You'll need to do the opposite action for I never want to see you again . Obviously, you can't get them both in the same playthrough, but using the save-method mentioned many times in this Guide, you can do this very quickly.

Before you do anything, choose which one you want to do and stick with for the remainder of your playthrough. The following walkthrough will be structured to end with, and continue from, keeping Richard alive. If you want to kill him instead, just switch which one you do here:

Note: There is 1 Safe Zone in this Scene, and it's in the room directly facing the room in which Richard and Olsen are, on the opposite wall.

First things first, after you remove the Obfuscate on the door but right before you go in, force the game to save (go into the nearby Safe Zone and press Options > Settings and just tab back and forth and press Apply, and you should see the save icon appear. You don't even have to change any Settings to force it). Once you do, quit the game, upload your save file to the Cloud, then go back in.

There are a few things to read in this room, but hold off, because you would have to do it twice.

GLITCH NOTE: I am unsure what causes the glitch, but what is supposed to happen as you walk in the room is that Richard kills Olsen. For some reason, that may not happen, and Olsen's avatar stayed in the room the entire time. I could not speak to him, but could take his identity if I wanted (seems the unlock carries over, in this case from Scene 03). Later he stood there levitating a couple feet off the ground. It's fine though, it won't affect your game, as you can still get the important item from him: the key on the ground, under his levitating feet.

FIRST TROPHY – A hard pill to swallow :
Go into the room and talk to Richard. Go through the conversation as normal, choose whatever you want when dialogue options appear... and then at the end of your conversation, the game will give you the option to kill him or leave him. Choose "Destroy him".

Once the cutscene ends and the A hard pill to swallow  trophy pops, quit the game, then re-download your previous save file from the cloud.

SECOND TROPHY – I never want to see you again :
Go back in-game and back into that room. Since this is the playthrough you will continue with, feel free to look around first. There's a key on the ground where Olsen stood, by their feet. Take it and you can unlock the drawer in the desk, which holds an audio recording of Halsey's transfer and the agent's suicide. Other than that, there are a small handful of papers to read & items to interact with in the room.

Speak to Richard again, and this time, when the option appears, choose "Let him leave". After some more cutscenes, you should get the I never want to see you again  trophy.
