Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 offers players enticing collectibles that enhance the story experience and reward thorough exploration. One standout collectible, the Cross of Saint James, is especially worth hunting down since it not only grants 2000 XP but also boosts friendship with Patience and unlocks the Crucifixation achievement. These crosses are scattered throughout familiar mission hubs, making them accessible yet sneakily placed, adding depth to your Seattle adventure.
Tracking down every Cross of Saint James means paying close attention to your surroundings during key missions. The crosses appear inside buildings you’ll already visit, but spotting them requires a keen eye. Below are the exact locations of all nine crosses across Seattle.
Every Cross of Saint James Location
There are nine crosses hidden throughout Seattle, each tucked away inside buildings integral to the main storyline. Exploring these areas thoroughly will ensure you don’t miss any of these valuable collectibles.
Haven
The earliest cross can be found immediately after leaving your Haven safehouse. Instead of jumping down the elevator shaft, take the stairs down two floors — you’ll notice a sign for “Floor 3” indicating your path. Look right near a Christmas tree; the cross rests atop a pile of presents.
Glacier Hotel
At the Glacier Hotel, head upstairs via the elevator to reach the gig room. Climb the ladders on the left side, but instead of moving forward through the archway, circle around the balcony. There, you’ll find the cross embedded inside a painting.
Weaver Tower
The cross is easy to miss on the upper floor right outside the elevators. It’s hidden in the cushions of a couch, practically invisible unless you pause to inspect.
Makom Bar
Head to the back storage area of Makom Bar, the place where you experienced Fabien’s flashback. The cross is lodged inside a barrel filled with liquid gold — a striking and memorable hiding spot.
Auto Repair
Within the auto repair shop’s workspace, look toward the back. The cross hangs casually on a tool rack, blending in with other equipment unless you’re specifically searching for it.
Wake the Dead
In the Wake the Dead café, make your way past the bar to the left side. There, the cross waits inside a book, encouraging a closer look at your environment beyond standard interaction points.
Aurora Pawn
Between Niko and Patience’s quarters in Aurora Pawn, check the hallway walls. The cross is stuck to a torn poster, subtly integrated into the setting.
Hole in the Wall
In the back area of the Hole in the Wall bar where the pool tables reside, look for two dart boards. The cross is wedged in one of them, a clever placement that can easily be missed during casual play.
The Dutchman
The final cross is in The Dutchman club, tucked inside the bathroom mirror in the corner. A small detail that requires some diligence to uncover amidst the club’s bustling ambiance.
