Quest:The Pain Of Being Mercurio
The Pain of Being Mercurio is a side quest for VTM: Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines .
Acquisition
When speaking to Mercurio, after receiving the Surf's Up quest, you can ask Mercurio if he's in pain and if you can help. He'll ask you for "something for the pain."
Overview
Enter the Santa Monica Medical Clinic.
Optional context: Find the Clinic Administrator's office. A series of emails between Administrator Danny Boyle and Fred Dingo will indicate that the clinic's Controlled Substances area on the second floor is out of morphine, but there may be some in Dr. Malcolm St. Martin's office.
Find Dr. St. Martin's office. There are a number of ways of gaining access:
- Pick the lock
- Find Malcolm's office key and use that to open his door. The key is in the room just to the left of Malcolm's office, behind an unpickable locked door. It can be accessed one of two ways:
- A vent on the second floor can be accessed which allows you to drop down into the room with the key.
- Gain access to the morgue half of the basement (via the hole in the wall in the laundry room), then go up the stairs. The room with the key will be to your left.
The locked door which prevented access will open fine from the other side, so you should easily be able to return to Malcolm's office from the key room.
On Malcolm's desk, you'll find three Morphine Bottles.
Completion
Return to Mercurio and give him a morphine.

Background Information
