For those of you who don't know (or for those of you who missed some of the hints that do not contain the dreaded RED X and think you need to replay the game to get them.) Usher Talltree actually gives you guys the hints for the characters in the game if you are having issues doing them yourself, however it does cost 150 shilling for each reading which is pretty costly and I'm not sure if you still gain XP for learning the hints this way as opposed to actually learning them by answering things correctly and being naturally inquisitive in the game. Also his hints are random so it is best to get as many hints as you can and when you have obtained all possible hints and are sure there's no way to obtain the others, then you should utilise this option as a last resort.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT USHER'S MECHANICS:

• AS STATED ABOVE, HE DOES NOT GIVE YOU HINTS THAT NOW CONTAIN A RED X ON THEM AS ONCE A HINT HAS BEEN PERMANENTLY CROSSED OUT, IT IS GONE FOREVER AND YOU WILL NEED TO MAKE A NEW PLAY THROUGH AND START AGAIN TO RE-OBTAIN THESE HINTS.
  
• HE ALSO CANNOT REVEAL HINTS ABOUT HIMSELF, ONLY OTHERS IN THE WORLD.
  
• HE ALSO CAN STILL DRAW MISSED HINTS FROM THOSE YOU HAVE LOST FOREVER, THIS DOES NOT REVEAL THE HINT HOWEVER AND WILL STILL COST YOU THE INITIAL 150 SHILLINGS.
  
• IF YOU HAVE REVEALED EVERYTHING FROM EVERYONE THAT YOU CAN LEARN, USHER WILL NOT CHARGE YOU THE 150 SHILLINGS FOR A READING AND INFORM YOU INSTEAD THAT THE CARDS CAN REVEAL NOTHING MORE FOR YOU INSTEAD.

Wow, this Guide took longer than expected to write as the first time I wrote it was back in like 2018? now it's the end of 2021 and finally I managed to get back into it and write it all up. Not gunna lie, part of it was making sure the information was correct and running through the game and getting the hints myself (thus the nice pictures of all the gathered hints for most characters, which will be uploaded very shortly after this guide is released). The other was the fact that I moved onto other games and decided to do a fun little play through of Vampyr again recently and saw my old save and decided it was time to re-take pictures i'd lost (also making sure they were better than last time with completed hints.) and finally finish and publish this guide once and for all.

Hopefully someone or a few people find this guide useful, I know now that I finally completed it that there is ALOT of guides online and videos as well but it's easier to search on the guides page on steam for some of this stuff and perhaps you guys preferred the layering of this guide than the others online. Not to mention it saves a google search or two to just look in the Steam Guides area and see it right there for all of you.

If you feel like I missed anything, or just wish to express your opinion, positive or negative on the guide then by all means leave a comment below.

I may make a video about the hints and how to obtain them in the future as I know from some of my other guides alot of you prefer pictures and videos to help you all learn where things are or just to make the whole experience easier, but if not then hopefully this will be enough to give you guys the help you need.
