that he could be killed by crushing him under some door somewhere

switch the power on

inside the main observatory room

the werewolf is inside with me!

lure him through the doors and then crush him, when he's already inside? And when I go outside, he follows me, and there's not enough room to maneuver to get back inside before he kills me.

to the platform where I'm apparently supposed to flip the switch

Is there anything you can do? No. I've cheated myself up to 10 everything, packed in an arsenal that would give a battallion cause for pause, walked in with God Mode on and stood toe-to-toe with that thing for a half-hour of real time hitting it with everything there is to hit it with.

Aside from the door, you can't kill it. Aside from killing it, there is nothing else you can have or do that will stop it, hurt it, or even slow it down.

Celerity should help you to escape. That much is true enough. In fact, all defensive disciplines work as you would expect - it just doesn't matter. All offensive disciplines have no effect.

Now, tactics. Forget exploring - you won't live that long if you try. Go inside the observatory building, run through and out the back, turn on the power, and just to your right of that shed there is a cranny where you can hide and it can't get to you. You can rest there and get your health back up. A few blood packs won't hurt, either. This is also a good place to wait out the clock if all you want to do is escape.

Then, wait for an opportune moment, run inside and up the stairs to the platform, and use the door to kill the werewolf.

If it destroys the stairs before you can get to the platform, then running is all you have left, except getting in from the outside. There is an outside stair that goes up to the platform outside the door. You can try that.

I didn't think to run through the building, although I get the impression that each doorway slows him down a bit, so it's good advice. It's just that the building was a maze to me, and I didn't have time to figure out where I needed to go. I had found the gap in the fence, however, so during a few unsuccessful tries, I memorised exactly where that gap was, then ran straight at the gap, crawled through, got up, ran to the shed, hit the switch, ran through the nearest door inside, route the the main room is real easy from here, run up the stairs, look outside, didn't see the werewolf, so I stepped outside through the big sliding doors for a moment. Still didn't see any werewolf anywhere, but got nervous, so I stepped inside again, a moment later, the werewolf appeared in front of the big sliding doors, moved through, I hit the switch, wolf dies, I win! Woo!

Just for fun, I hit the switch again, and again, and while the doors didn't fully close the first time (werewolf was in the way), it closed fully the second time, and while open, the werewolf hung in the air. I could walk straight through the werewolf (he was a bit insubstantial, it seemed), but still got loads of damage when I touched his rear feet.

I don't think doors in observatories like that are really all that heavy. I suspect a werewolf would easily rip open the entire roof of the observatory room.

Never know you could kill the werewolf I did it abit differently. Basically, I'd get hit once or twice before reaching the double door entrance. I activated fortitude (rank 3-4 at that time) immidiately after the cut-scene.
Then I basically just ran around the place, making sure not to end up in the bathroom as that killed me the first time (got it right the second time) eventually I ended up outside and flipped the power switch, nothing seemed to happen, so I ran back inside round and round up and down stairs and finally into the lift again after taking a few hits while escaping, again with fortitude on of course.

hence the doors close properly the 2nd time...
