Details

Shadow Veil is one of Jonathan E. Reid's tactical skills, which he can develop further, and gives him the ability to become invisible for a while.

Skill Description[ | ]

A useful tip, Rookie: if think you see something moving, shoot.
Shoot? Shoot what?
Just shoot...

The shadows help hide the Vampire, turning them invisible to the uninitiated. In return, it drains the Vampire's stamina if they move. Once a vampires stamina is empty, they will become visible again.

Tips[ | ]

Depending on what kind of player you are, for those who like to avoid battle this may useful, but it was not recommended as you will need battle to gather experience and other resources.

It is worth noting that Shadow Veil is the primary way to avoid combat with enemies that can be sneaked past. This is almost entirely restricted to the optional encounters scattered throughout the overworld of London, however, and almost all quests require that the enemies involved in its plot be killed, especially when it comes to interior locations. Still, when it comes to moving back and forth between the various merchant hubs and friendly NPCs of Vampyr, Shadow Veil's initial few ranks may be worth an investment for the convenience of avoiding combat and saving time.
