How to Get Ripple in Bizzare Lineage
To get The Ripple or Hamon take any bus stop and go to Bus Station 13 then look around for sunflowers and go to the bridge with sunflowers to find the Ancient Ghost NPC. Accept his quest for The Ripple/Hamon sub ability where you’ll get Ripple moves after certain parts of the quest. The most tedious part of the quest is the first one which is finding Night Vampires that usually spawn at night so here’s where they spawn:
- Bus Station 1: Go here and head toward the cafe left of the Kira raid until you see the sunflower then head left of the sunflower toward some trees past Thug enemies – Night Vampires spawn there.
- Bus Station 2: You can find some in front of the Gym’s second exit/in front of the Raid Chumbo NPC.
- Bus Station 11: Go to George NPC and a bunch can spawn here.
- PVE Quest: They can also spawn via the PVE quest board though it takes time.
- Private Server: I recommend farming them via a private server but it can be done in publics as well if you get lucky with the spawns and no one defeats them before you.
After Night Vampires, here’s the rest of the questline tasks:
- You’ll need to complete a World Event which is most easily done by going to Bus Stop 1 where WEs spawn every 30 minutes.
- Then you’ll talk to Ancient Ghost and fight him as a mini boss.
- Afterwards you’ll have to do 2 1v1s via the PVP board (If you’re not good at PVP ask the opposing player to trade kills for the quest).
- Now you’ll go back to Hamon/Ancient Ghost and fight him again.
- Then you’ll have to defeat The Self which you can access by going to the Gym at Bus Stop 2, going in and interacting with a Yoga Mat to meditate and fight a mini-boss version of yourself.
- After turning in that part of the quest it’s time to fight Dio in the Dio Raid which you can reach via Bus Stop 18 – Once there, go through the gate into the Graveyard and make a left before reaching the big castle which leads you through a cave and into an area where you’ll make a right to the smaller castle where you’ll reach the Dio Raid NPC inside (Watch out of Dio’s hitscan attacks which you can dodge by jumping and moving).
- Lastly, after Dio, return to Ancient Ghost and ask to fight him one last time to get the final move of Ripple thus completing the Hamon quest.
How to Get Vampire in Bizzare Lineage
To get the Vampire sub ability moves you have to both get the Stone Mask and use it to become a vampire and then do the Elder Vampire quests for all moves. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- You can get the Stone Mask from the shop or as a random drop from chests.
- After you use it to become a vampire we need to go to the Elder Vampire for the Vampire sub ability questline to unlock all moves.
- Go to any bus stop and then to Bus Station 18.
- Once there, enter the gate into the Graveyard.
- Head straight forward toward the large castle but make a left once you see a cave opening.
- Go through the cave and then make a right toward a smaller castle and go inside.
- You’ll find the Elder Vampire NPC inside the castle to the left past the entrance.
Accept the quest from the Elder Vampire and here are some general tips for the questline:
- You can get Bones/Skulls/Coins for the quest via chests which you can farm in Raids with the easiest one being the Avdol Raid that you can reach via Bus Stop 14 and then just going behind the bus stop across the sea to the Avdol Raid NPC (You need to have all Bones/Skulls/Coins before turning the quest in).
- For the World Event just go to Bus Stop 1 where the World Event spawns every 30 minutes.
- For the Hamon Apprentice and Hamon Master quest go to Bus Stop 17 and you can find the Masters right there and the Apprentices a bit farther from the stop toward the graveyard/bus stop 18.
- Civilians spawn at Bus Stop 1 walking around that area near the Kira Raid and make sure to defeat the Delinquents/Thugs to ensure Civilians respawn (I hear they spawn near Koichi as well and in general I saw them walking randomly around town)
- For the Jotaro Raid, go to Bus Stop 2 and go left past the Jotaro NPC around the gym building on the left side where you can find the Jotaro Raid NPC.
- Finish all of these quests and you’ll unlock all Vampire sub ability moves.

How to Get Half Human Half Machine in Bizzare Lineage (Cyborg)
To get Half Human Half Machine or Cyborg in Bizzare Lineage you’ll need to:
- Go to Bus Stop 3.
- Turn toward the stone wall dojo and go past the dojo to the Cyborg NPC leaning on the wall.
- Talk to Cyborg/Rudol Von Stroheim and accept the questline for the Cyborg sub ability.
- Finish all the quest steps to unlock all the Cyborg moves of which there are 3.
- For tips check out the steps above for the other sub-abilities since they’re pretty similar with specific items from chests, World Events at Bus Stop 1, Raids and a standard bandit beater/quest tracker to-do list.
