So I have been playing Van Helsing Final Cut (VHFC) and I'm a little OCD. I searched high and low for a comprehensive guide on the hidden content but was there a complete list? Unfortunately not. Not even from the developers themselves.

So here is a list, compiled from various sources of cross-comparisons and hours of gameplay for the Hidden Content found in VHFC. Some are straight forward, others are not. Some have been removed completely from what we remember from VH I, II & III etc; and some new ones have appeared too.

Hopefully this helps those who appreciate the finer intricacies of the game development and the effort that has gone into making this a quality game.

https://steamhost.cn/app/400170/The_Incredible_Adventures_of_Van_Helsing_Final_Cut/

This is compiled by myself from hours of accumulative game play. I have utilised others' guides and quest lists to compare and locate many of these secrets and achievements.

! Important: It is recommended to play the game through in story mode at least once before attempting to find all the hidden content. Some items are recommended to be acquired during New Game + mode as well.

This is not a 100% perfect compilation. For that, we'd have to request a full list from the developers - which defeats the purpose of it being hidden content.

The items listed below are not defined in any specific order. Wherever possible, items that need to be completed in a specific sequential order or have an impact to other areas or decisions in the game will be highlighted. The order in which you find these items may depend on your own decisions and style of game play. Check out the full list of items here first before running through a level to ensure you don't miss anything.

If you have comments, be constructive. If it's not constructive, don't mention it and keep it to yourself.

If you find a mistake or wish to amend something, let me know so others can benefit as well.


Back in 2022, Neocore's online service provider for IAVH (GameSparks) ceased all operations. This means that all online account syncing (including multiplayer) is no longer available.

Any previous save games and progress you had is now reset - i.e. you have to start again. However, the characters you made are still available, but who knows for how long.

To recover your character files, go to their website[neocoregames.com] and follow the instructions to download them.

Once you've downloaded the files, load the game and when you get the login screen, you now need to select "offline mode". Don't attempt to login to your Neocore account, as this will simply cause the login screen to hang. Click cancel to go back, and select offline.


Chapters 1-6 Screenshots Update - In Progress. Life has a tendency to get in the way.

As a result of the save files being reset, another play through was required anyway. Screenshots for the first chapters have now been added. Screenshots for the additional chapters will be redone/updated as time allows.

Note: As part of this new play through, all comments and content are being reviewed and some references may be updated/removed as required.

Then, find the "werewolf totem" in Croakwood and click it.

Answer with: "I didn't take your name" and then "I don't know it, but Katarina does"

On a hill are some elite hostiles, kill them all, then loot the coin.

Locate the well and use the coin (throw it into the well). Kill the harpies that spawn and loot the weapon oil.


8. Pulled the Sword from the Stone [Excalibur]

! Important: You must have the Weapon Oil for this to work. See previous step if you don't have it yet.

Locate the sword in the middle (on a hill) of Croakwood. Use the weapon oil to loose the sword.


9. Found stray goat in Gallowsbog

In Markovna there is a drunk man just outside the tavern, mumbling about how he fed a goat near the river a diamond.

11. Follow the wisp in Gallowsbog

Follow the wisp westward. It will then summon more. Kill them all for loot.


12. Locate Werewolf Spirit Stone

! Important: If you did not spare the Werewolf pack leader in the Wolf-Den in Croakwood, you cannot get this.

You will find this item during the quest to get the electrical essence for the blacksmith in Markovna.

After clicking on the required machine and attempting to leave the area, one of the werewolves in the nearby cage will stop you and say he was looking for you. He gives you an epic trophy.

Note: Make sure you kill all the soldiers before you click the machine as the soldiers can easily kill the werewolves.

13. Defeat the Frenzied Forest Spirit in Gallowsbog

Throughout the map are 8x runestones.

Click all of these (in no specific order) to summon the spirit in the north-east (near the bridge).


Once you have interacted with the last runestone, you will receive a new quest and Katarina will comment on how you have summoned the spirit.

Go to the bridge in the north-east of Gallowsbog and kill the spirit.


14. Riddle of the Vodyanoi

Collect 3x mysterious gemstones to get the key.

One is in Croakwood at the Romany camp:


One is in the north-west of Gallowsbog:

Once you have all 3 gemstones, go back to Markovna and interact with the Borislav statue. Loot the key that is dropped.


16. Find the 'Bunnyslayer'

After getting the quest for the electrical essence from the blacksmith in Markovna, talk to the blacksmith again, and he'll offer you a turn with his tools for 100 gold - accept.

The blacksmith offers to get rid of the junk Van Helsing made, instead tell him you wish to keep it.

You will get the quest item, an unidentified bent sword.


Once you have that, go and talk to an NPC called "Nutty Stefan". He can be found in the church, and also doing an anti-clockwise lap past the Borislav statue.


He will comment on the sword, saying it's a demon slayer.

Respond with "No, it's the bunny slayer". The item will turn into an epic quality sword which has pretty 'meh' stats. It's only use is for killing a bunny boss found later on.

Note: Only a Protector class can use the Bunnyslayer sword, however, the achievement will still unlock by simply killing the bunny in question (regardless of your class).


1. [Bone Relics]

You will receive a bone relic from some elite mobs around Gallowsbog and potentially later in the game as well. You have 2x options to choose from on how to use this loot:


Option A: Go back to the Vodyanoi professor and sell them to receive 1500 Gold pieces per relic.


Option B: Interact with the Great Gluttoner Idol to receive 2 Ability points per relic.


Spoiler: There is another idol later in the game that you can interact with and get ability points if you have already sold some relics to the Professor.

2. Legacy - Suspicious Domovoy

This bonus is still active for the standalone game (IAVH #1), however for IAVH:FC this is no longer an obtainable bonus.

At the beginning of the game, is the Domovoy in Gorgon's Pass.

You need to hit him 20x times and have loot drop to get this achievement.

Use upgraded tar shot (Van Helsing) as well as mirage queen ability (Katarina) to keep him slowed and hit him quickly.

Loot the items (including gold) for this to count.

! Important: If you miss this, you need to restart to attempt it. Once it's missed, it's gone for good.

Note: You cannot kill the Domovoy, as he will inevitably jump off the cliff.
