The vampire doesn’t actually give you the real name of the Jester at first. He initially feeds you some BS so you go off and get your punk self killed challenging an immortal. To get the spirit’s real name from the vampire, you have to wave a stake at him.
Have to do a bit more than wave the stake. First you need to get the strobe light from the club (Is it The Jagged Nails club? I can’t remember, the one Kitsune is in) and then use it to blind him.
A PS2 version would be pretty cool. Just imagine what the decking bits would be like!
Through skill at weapons, spells, sheer willpower, use of an oxymoronic weapon, tattoo, or quick-talking abilities, you convince the person who has been trying to kill you since before the start of the game to do so. You die, and go off to undertake actions that will likely unbalance the multiverse.
Jeez… I don’t know my console games at all, and everyone else has already gotten all the PC games (I think). So, here’s a few of my own. One is really old, one is sort of old, and two are (relatively) new. One’s really easy too.

Drink a cup of real tea and step (most improbably) out of your starship onto the surface of an ancient world.
