- Pick up a Bottle of Wine on the way (step 2) and fill the bottle with clean blood (step 3).
- Read Seamus's Journal (three pages, about 185–191 m from Silent Cannons) to see what he is trying to prove.
- Give Seamus either the blood or the wine (step 4).
- Reward: a Ferrofluid Flask Power Upgrade plus 1,000 or 3,000 Catalysts depending on the ending, and the Blood and Wine achievement.
Choices & outcomes
SpoilerShow the endings and which choice pays
Give him the blood and he hates the taste, shuts down and won't talk to you again (step 5). Give him the wine and he is ecstatic, convinced he's a vampire (step 6) — the journal calls it the better of the two choices. The files list both Catalyst amounts without saying which ending pays which.

Today I met the most peculiar fellow hiding in a shed. He called himself Seamus and claims to be allergic to sunlight. Seamus asked me to help him obtain samples of blood; perhaps I will be able to find some in the nearby grove. I just need to make sure the blood is not tainted, which may prove a challenging task.
- 2
I have now collected a bottle of wine, which might very well be taken for a bottle of blood. Hmm...
- 3
I've finally managed to find a clean blood sample. I could give it to Seamus, but something tells me it would be good to also think of an alternative solution.
- 4
I now have blood and wine; the only remaining question is which one I should give to Seamus. He is in an emotionally fragile state. I'm certain failure would crush his cheerful spirit.
- 5Possible ending
I gave Seamus the blood... Just as I had suspected, he did not respond well to its taste. He completely shut down and won't talk to me any more. I might have made the wrong choice after all... Poor fellow.
- 6Possible ending
I gave Seamus the wine... He was ecstatic at the taste! And as for my little lie... I may have convinced the poor guy that he's a vampire, but at the same time, I spared him the despair of failure. Feels like the better choice of the two I was given.
