Buffy eventually finds the school janitor dead, and uses his keys to access the basement and restore the power.

She then rushes to the library, to save Giles from a vampire named Malik, who escapes with a book on spirit channeling.

Giles is unable to determine why Malik wanted the book but isn't worried, so Buffy and her friends head to The Bronze.

Laibach orders Spike to get fresh human sacrifices for a coming ceremony and he dispatches vampires to the Bronze then he encounters Buffy.

At the Bronze, Buffy and the others party until the vampires, led by one named Scylla, break in and kidnap several students, including Willow.

Buffy continues to follow the vampires in hopes of rescuing her friends and eventually ends up in the cemetery where she encounters the powerful necromancer Materiani who summons zombies to aid in delaying her.

The group can't come to any conclusion besides that Spike may be trying to draw an ancient evil forth into this world and Buffy sets off again on her own.

Buffy reenters the mausoleum where she fights through zombies to reach the secret passageway leading to the Sunken Church.

Buffy battles her way through the Church, now faced with demons as well as spiders and zombies and finally reaches the altar where the ritual is taking place.

She arrives too late to save the victims, but interrupts the ritual causing the vampires to run while Materiani stays behind to fight her.

Giles explains that while the Master couldn't be resurrected in physical form, a skilled necromancer could bring him back as a phantom though he has no idea why it would be done.

Xander decides to see what information he can get from Willy the Snitch while Buffy heads to Angel's Mansion in hopes he can figure out the Master and Spike's plans.

As Buffy heads out to find someone to lead her to the Master, demons and vampires attack the high school again, injuring Cordelia.

He needed the Dreamers to warp reality to create the bridge and the Master's expertise in dimensional portals to make it work.

Having gotten what he wants, Spike and Drusilla leave and Buffy and her friends make preparations to assault the Sunken Church to stop the Master once and for all.

Finally, Buffy finds the Dreamers at the end of the maze and kills them both, returning her to the Sunken Church and destroying the Deglon Sphere.

While Buffy the Vampire Slayer was advertised as a single-player game, it has a hidden multiplayer mode, apparently for debugging purposes.
