After the opening cut scene, follow the on-screen instructions and approach the people on your left who are laying on the ground. Execute a pulse heal and continue down the tunnel ahead to help more victims, then follow the on-screen instructions when you reach the caved-in section to clear the path.
Continue forward while healing downed civilians, then clear away another blockage to enter the next section of the tunnel. Follow the jumping ball of purple light ahead until the cut scene activates.

Following the cut scene, use melee attacks to takedown the vampire enemy and stake him once he’s laying on the ground. Move towards Blood Mary at the top of the hill ahead and follow the ball of red light she becomes through the catacombs.
Grind on the train tracks when you come across them again until you reach another wave of vampire enemies. Eliminate them using melee attacks and the staking ability, then continue forward into the tunnel and grind the next section of train tracks.

2. Welcome to Pyre Night
Follow the on-screen instructions to activate Shadow Swarm and use it to fly over the tall stone wall ahead and activate a cut scene. Afterwards, approach one of the nearby victims and execute a bite on them.
Continue up the road ahead and biting victims you encounter until Zeke calls, then move towards the next objective as indicated by the white-and-red circle on your map. These icons currently represent packs of vampires that you will need to eliminate on the street and rooftop-level.
You can move more quickly between these points by biting victims to increase your blood supply and traveling across the map via the Shadow Swarm. Find the star icon on your map to come across a concert in one of the parks, then approach the stage and press the indicated button to unleash a larger than normal slew of vampire enemies.
Once the vampire pack at the concert is eliminated and Zeke has called, you can continue moving around the city eliminating the packs until you encounter a white trail icon on your map. Follow this trail to a statue in the middle of the park and move around to its front to activate a cut scene.
Afterwards, you will need to defeat a wave of Harpies that will hide in the surrounding area to fire long-range weapons at you. Find the nearest power source to recharge and use the red icons on your map to locate the enemies in their firing positions.
Enter aim mode, then use your electricity bolts and power punches to knock the Harpies out of the trees or off of the telephone wires above. Recharge your health in between each attack so that you avoid the threat of defeat while moving between enemies.
After the harpies are eliminated and Zeke has called, continue eliminating the packs of vampires around the city until you encounter another white trail on the map that leads to the clocktower.
