Catching a vampire that has escaped containment requires a combination of identifying their weaknesses, using specialized traps, and, if necessary, exploiting their psychological compulsions. Effective methods include using holy water, silver, or sunlight, and targeting them during their daytime, incapacitated state.
Here are the best methods to capture a free vampire, based on common lore and game mechanics:
Exploit Compulsions (Arithmomania): Throw a handful of rice, sand, or salt on the ground in front of the vampire. Folklore suggests they are compelled to stop and count every grain, buying you time to restrain them.
Force Gaseous Form: If the vampire is in gaseous form, use a fireplace bellows to collect it and blow it directly into a sealed container or into sunlight.
Environmental Barriers: Use running water, which vampires often cannot cross, or create a circle of iron/silver.
