10 Rare Video Game Items You Had ONE CHANCE To Obtain
4. The Odious Chalice - Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines
Cult vampire RPG Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines is full of moments where the player only has one shot to resolve a situation. This includes saving people from certain death, making crucial moral decisions, and finding rare items.
One of the side quests in the game, Occultish Personality, has the player fetch a bunch of arcane artefacts for a flesh-eating, world-trotting vampire named Pisha. She offers to exchange the artefacts for some items from her own collection, which is a really good deal, but you'd best stay extra careful when looking for them.
All of Pisha's artifacts are located in levels you only get to visit once. Unless you pay attention and search every nook and cranny of every level, you may not even realize that you've just lost your chance to make a specific trade.
The most important item you want to get is a Fetish Statue you can find at the Museum of Natural History. Pisha will give you her Odious Chalice for it; a malformed pouch made of human entrails that lets you store extra blood for your vampiric abilities.
It's the perfect item for becoming a blood-sucking powerhouse, even if you'd never want to touch it.
