  • How to unlock Embraced the Darkness

    Like in the Single Player Campaign, every character has Talent Trees. You must fully upgrade the trees of any character (JP, Jimmy, Inugami or Shoshanna). 

    Firstly, I would suggest completing a mission with every character to see who's your favorite. Then start playing with him/her. If you go through the Vendetta's Campaign and every Hit List with the same character, you should have earned enough Essence to buy all the Talents.

    If you want to accelerate the process, play solo on the "Thug" difficulty. Keep executing the enemies (stun them with  and execute them with ). You'll receive 30 Essence instead of 10. You can also search for the six Relics throughout the Vendetta's Campaign. You'll receive 300 Essence each.

    Personally, I love playing with Shoshanna. If you hold , your shotgun will shoot a powerful blast that gives 20 Essence when you kill someone with it. If you destroy enemies' hearts afterwards by pressing , you may receive more than 30 Essence per kill.

  • this is simple just continue playing to get essence and you will eventually get them all
  • its easier if you play with multiple people
  • I played solo, and got this in a single playthrough. Started with hit list and switched characters after each mission til i found the one i liked. Then I just stuck with that single character (Shoshanna) through the rest of the missions, and still easily had around 2000 extra essence when i finished. Also make sure you destroy hearts, especially on the heavily armored enemies. They give you +30 essence.
  • I used Inugami, and had all the talents at the beginning of the last level. In the beginning I mostly used the gun or the slash ability to stun people and then execute them, which is worth 30 essence (no matter what enemie you execute). But at a certain point the enemies are no longer mobsters, but Brotherhood members. From that moment you can best use the LT button to kill your enemies with your sword and destroy their hearts, because a swordkill is worth 20 essence and a destroyed heart is worth a minimum of 10 essence. If you repeat that 99% of the time, you will have all the essence you need at the beginning of the last level, where you can acquire your last talents.
