Be warned. The following excerpts of lore and distress contains spoilers. Suffice to say, it involves mirrors and demons. Spoiler
We were on our way to do battle with the Kuei-jin mistress of mirrors when our view of this madwoman was twisted; the monster! The monster emerged from its pretty hide, and we charged forth, eager to spill its unholy essence. 'twas, however, to no avail. The mistress launched forth her wicked tentacles and lashed us away, killing, destroying. We are unable to defeat her, no matter what strategy we attempt; we showed it its death again and again, and it did not even slow it down. We filled it with the streams of lead of modern technology, but it laughed and shrugged it off - we even assailed it with our sword, and we were annihilated. Please, assist us. Our melee skill is eight, we are a childe of Malkav, our ranged ability is seven. We have become masters of the twisting of minds, and we have not the foresight to equip ourselves with a flamethrower. Again, please - is there any way to defeat this menace, this monster without redoing large parts of the game to aquire more dead presidents and thus more blood from the feminine ghoul?
There is a complete section around here with strategies on how to beat the crap out of that gal. [url="http://www.gamebanshee.com/forums/vampire-tm-bloodlines-47/how-to-defeat-ming-57302.html"]CLICK HERE[/url]
Don't be discouraged, this is actually the hardest fight in the entire game. Even more than the actual final boss.
Okay, you say you are not carrying the Flamethrower, that means you won't be able to snap like 1/3 of Ming's energy easily. A Malkavian would have an even harder time as he can't cast defensive disciplines like Blood Shield or Fortitude. I'd say you make the most out of Blood Buff, take out that Tal 'Mahe' Ra blade and go medieval on her ass. Try to kill her spawns ASAP! If one of them evolves then try to kill it pronto, they haven't much HP anyway.
Oh, and the most important thing: REMEMBER YOUR BLOOD PACKS AND YOUR ODIOUS CHALICE! Remember they replenish Health along with Blood, so if you're about to hit the bucket quickly empty one of those in your throat. By this time you should have a complete set of Blood Packs; and remember, the Odious Chalice fills up by killing the Ming's spawns. You should have lots of money at this point, so remember that you can stock all your Blood Packs again after the battle.
Hope that helped, I'm gone!
And so I left... Cold of heart and soul. ~†~Forced to the road... and the long, bitter night.~†~
