I have a reading disability so I never read VtM lore.Thing is no one said that the ancient in the cave had to be an ancient, remember the scene where you got a dagger from calisto where she assumed it was just some elder. They could have easily just made it some really old elder maybe a special nos elder but still an elder and not an ancient. I'm just spit balling but my suggestion have been would be remove the second ancient the whole jailer stuff was not needed and make the first one just some mezzo American elder imprisoned during the early years of colonization of America during a power struggle between the European vamps moving in and the local vamps.
Also considering Virgil is seems have to have meant to be the Roman poet Virgil that makes him just over 2000 years old and with Calisto being his mother making her even older. Could have easily made the cave dweller similar to that or maybe even a bit below that making them a potential threat that could only be taken out while still trapped weakened in the cave.
personally i'm just going to avoid any new games by these dev's now as they seem to be able to come up with a decent beginning of a story but they clearly don't plan out their stories far enough and have a clear idea for an ending and also just seem crap at making ending so they just make those engaging with their games feel irritated in the end. Which tbf isn't that uncommon on this site.
Seriously though devs plan your endings yes the can adapt as a project develops but have an idea of where you are going or want to go and make sure you are going that direction so you don't end up like this.
and while I do believe that just cuz it's based on it doesn't mean it has
to follow it exactly
but judging by what you and the other people have said it sounds like the developers got tired of making the
game and wanted to end it so they rushed it
like they really didn't want to be working on this game anymore so they pulled a Game of Thrones
