Editorial Review
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver tells the story of Raziel, one of the undead lieutenants of the vampire lord Kain. Jealous of Raziel's newly evolved wings, Kain tears them apart and casts his former champion into the netherworld. But a powerful entity that dwells in the netherworld has restored Raziel to a semblance of life and has set him on a path of vengeance.
After this tantalizing movie introduction, you take control of Raziel in the spectral realm, where your new existence is explained to you. From there you enter the physical plane, ready to begin your quest for power and revenge. Raziel's combat moves are extremely brutal, as you'd expect from a vampire who has returned from the dead. When he finds a spear, Raziel gleefully stabs and slashes before he impales his foe, lifts it off the ground, and feasts on its soul. Doing so enhances Raziel's power, and devouring the souls of the rest of Kain's lieutenants is the only way to get the special abilities--scaling walls, phasing hrough gates, etc.--needed to reach Kain himself. While fun for adults, parents should take note: this game is definitely not suitable for kids.
Pros:
Product Description
Cast down to the material world, the mysterious entity 'Raziel' seeks vengeance for betrayal by his master: Kain.
Cursed to stalk the dark realms of Nosgoth, he must slay his undead brethren; only then can he absorb their souls for the energy he craves. Moving between the spectral and material plane, Raziel must negotiate puzzles, overcome traps
and defy blood-chilling enemies to reach his goal - the final battle with Kain!

Pros:
- Agile, fluid character animation and combat moves
- Beautiful scenery
- The Soul Reaver (think "vampiric lightsaber")
- Ability to glide using the tattered remnants of Raziel's wings
- Convoluted topography
- Sometimes awkward camera angles
- Lack of direction

Defeating Kain (Final Time)
Wait for him to materialize and hit him. You need soul reaver to do damage. The spirit forge in the center of the arena always automatically fills your health. Simply run over to it to accomplish this. When you strike him the first time, he appears on the second tier, again usually behind you. Finally, when you hit him on the second tier, he will materialize on the third and highest tier, again usually behind you. Quickly hit him a third time to defeat him.
Defeating Dumah
Pull the three stakes out of him to bring him back to life. Lure him into the furnace room very slowly -- if you move too fast, he will return to his room and you will have to begin again. Turn on the gas and hit the switch after he is in the furnace room to fry him.
Defeating Zephon
Bring a torch with you to the fight with Zephon. Run up to his belly, and swipe the torch at the hole for a bit of damage. He will attack with his leg, and get it stuck in his belly. Strike the leg. He will be heavily damaged. Strike the egg hole to cause more damage. Any time he gets a leg stuck in the ground, hit it with the torch, then hit his egg sack to quickly kill him. This is easier than the "correct" method. After defeating . him, you will gain the ability to scale walls
Defeating Malchia
To defeat the Malchia, lure him under one of the two spike gates and release them right when he is slithering under it. Repeat this on the other side of the room. After that, lure him into the center cage, quickly jump out, run to where Malchia started from, and roll the lever. This will cause the large spikes on the ceiling to come grinding down on top of him.
Defeating Rahab
You must enter the chamber in the spectral realm. Go to the top pillar where the portal is located and materialize. After a brief exchange of words, your only task is to shoot out the windows lining the room to let in the sunlight. Use the force blast-- you do not need Soul Reaver, so do not worry about taking hits. After he dies, you will acquire the swimming ability
Fun With Human
For those of you who feel the need to unleash your wrath upon your unsuspecting human friends, go ahead and kill them with glyphs. The other humans will not acknowledge that you are responsible. Try the force, stone, and fire glyphs. You can do fun things like sailing a worshipping human against the wall, killing him, and watching as he proceeds to slide into the water only to die again.
Use Of The Constrict Ability
First, you must have a circular area around the target. For example: Assume that the target is a Dumahim vampire (the most common in Nosgoth). Now, without using autoface, run a complete circle around the vampire until Raziel is followed by a trace of blue energy. This energy, once fully invoked, will "constrict" the vampire, causing it to be momentarily stunned -- and allowing ample time for you to finish the it off. The Constrict ability has odd effects on humans. They are as follows:
1. Certain humans, once you begin the Constrict ability, will act as though they plummeted into water. If you do not finish the ability, they will "drown". 2. The human will get stunned when Constrict is half finished, allowing you to stop and feed on their soul. 3. The most common and normal result is that the human will instantaneously die.
The Constrict ability is required to complete the puzzle in the Chrono-chamber. Also, make sure to return to areas of Nosgoth you have already visited prior to gaining that ability. You will find that Constrict can be used on many things, and may open up useful secrets (such as Eldritch artifacts, Glyphs, and life force pieces). Constrict does not work on Kain and will not work underwater.
Do Not Attack Humans
You will encounter your first human in Malchia's domain. He is a vampire hunter garbed in silver armor, shoots silver stakes from a bow, and will be hostile. Leave him alone and continue on to fight the zombie-like vampire. Leave after killing it, and do not go back to the human. The next human you encounter, located in the gear room, should fall to his knees and hold out his arms. The humans now consider you an avenging angel. Do not attack them, or they will turn on you. Warning: Vampire Worshippers are garbed in red and gold. They wield throwing knives and staffs and will always attack. You may kill them as they are evil. Be sure to check your human targets. You will now be able to peacefully roam through the human stronghold.
Defeating Kain (First Time)
Simply wait for him to materialize and hit him. He will appear behind you 90% of the time. You will acquire Soul Reaver after he is defeated.

Force Glyph
Once you reach Melchia's clan area you can acquire your first Glyph Once you have made it through the cemetery you will reach a small cave with a block in it. Move the block and put it against the short wall. Note: Use first person view to find it. Jump on the block, then onto the ledge. Continue through the passage to reach another cemetery. Move through this at top speed and do not bother with the Melchahim Vampires to reach a fortress. Go up any of the ramps to and follow the short passageway. You will then be in a large room in which you will see two Skinners. You can either kill them or leave them alone. In this room, look for a metal gate. Once found, go through it. Go down the spiral staircase to a warp room. Save the game at this point if desired. Once you have activated the Teleporter, run to the other end of the warp room and exit through the door. Then, run forward toward the lake and stop near it. Look around to find a wall that you can soon climb. After noting the location of the scaleable wall, shift to spectral and jump down into the lake. Kill or avoid the enemies down here, then look around again to find two passageways. Look for a passageway that has a strange blue glow emanating from it. Go into this passageway and follow the path. Kill the loner ahead, then continue down the path. You will now be in a large room with two or three of the Soul Reaver's undead friends inside. Kill them, then look for a large gate. There are actually two of them. Once you have found the correct gate, phase through it using Melchia's skill then proceed up the passageway. Follow it, and it will lead you to a large room with three thin pillar-like statues. Go behind each of them and push it. Once you have pushed all three of them down, an intermission sequence will show Raziel absorbing the Glyph and The Elder God giving him information about Glyphs. Note: Once you run out of Glyph power, retrace your steps to any Glyph shrine you have found then run into the glowing energy mist to recharge. You can also return to the Pillars of Nosgoth and recharge there or from the scattered Glyph energy refills around Nosgoth.
Glyph enhancement
Once you have Dumah's Constrict ability, go to Raziel's former clan. Once there, go through the wooden door to your left, and follow the passage. Do not go into the water. Once you have followed the passage all the way, you will reach a silo-like building. Climb up to the top of the building using the stairs. You will see a small gold object sticking out the ground. Run around this counter-clockwise twice. Stop once you see that the gold object has turned. You should notice the ramp you lowered earlier in the game has risen up again. Go to the switch on the wall and flip it. Another ramp will now lower. Go up this ramp, killing the Dumahim Vampire as you go along. Eventually, you will see a Glyph refill. Go back out to the gold object in the ground and again run around counter-clockwise. Stop once you see it turn. Once again, return to the switch on the wall and flip it again. A new ramp will now be lowered. Proceed up this ramp, again slaying the vampire as you proceed. You will now be in a large room, with another block puzzle. Stack all three blocks on top of each other and jump onto the high crevice ahead. Once you have finished the puzzle, you can collect the Glyph enhancement. You can also collect another item. To get it, return to the gold object and run around it counter-clockwise then flip the switch. Run up the ramp, kill the Dumahim Vampire, then proceed in the room to collect the item.
After killing Morlock and Rahab, go to Morlock's chamber where you fought him. Go through the small hole in the wall that was made earlier with your new skill. Retrace your steps to where the large ghost ship is located, just before entering the Flooded Abbey. Jump onto the boat and run up to the top north part of the ship. Look where the large, pointy object is pointing. Dive into the water, being cautious of the Rahabim Vampires, and swim in that direction. Eventually, you should see a tunnel under the water. Swim through it and follow the passage. Dodge the miffed vampires as move. You will now be in a large room. Be extremely careful in here. Swim to the other end of the room, then to the top. You should see the Glyph enhancement. Collect it, then leave the room through the passageway you swam through. Then, jump back on the boat. You may have also seen another cave in the water (towards the south of the ship); collect this if desired.
Easy health refill
Enter the spectral realm and gather up souls. If there are no souls, then fight slaugh and wraiths. Once filled, use a portal to re-enter the material realm and you will find that you now have full health. Also, if Soul Reaver has already been obtained, you will have it back as well.
Wait for him to materialize and hit him. You need soul reaver to do damage. The spirit forge in the center of the arena always automatically fills your health. Simply run over to it to accomplish this. When you strike him the first time, he appears on the second tier, again usually behind you. Finally, when you hit him on the second tier, he will materialize on the third and highest tier, again usually behind you. Quickly hit him a third time to defeat him.

Force Glyph
Once you reach Melchia's clan area you can acquire your first Glyph Once you have made it through the cemetery you will reach a small cave with a block in it. Move the block and put it against the short wall. Note: Use first person view to find it. Jump on the block, then onto the ledge. Continue through the passage to reach another cemetery. Move through this at top speed and do not bother with the Melchahim Vampires to reach a fortress. Go up any of the ramps to and follow the short passageway. You will then be in a large room in which you will see two Skinners. You can either kill them or leave them alone. In this room, look for a metal gate. Once found, go through it. Go down the spiral staircase to a warp room. Save the game at this point if desired. Once you have activated the Teleporter, run to the other end of the warp room and exit through the door. Then, run forward toward the lake and stop near it. Look around to find a wall that you can soon climb. After noting the location of the scaleable wall, shift to spectral and jump down into the lake. Kill or avoid the enemies down here, then look around again to find two passageways. Look for a passageway that has a strange blue glow emanating from it. Go into this passageway and follow the path. Kill the loner ahead, then continue down the path. You will now be in a large room with two or three of the Soul Reaver's undead friends inside. Kill them, then look for a large gate. There are actually two of them. Once you have found the correct gate, phase through it using Melchia's skill then proceed up the passageway. Follow it, and it will lead you to a large room with three thin pillar-like statues. Go behind each of them and push it. Once you have pushed all three of them down, an intermission sequence will show Raziel absorbing the Glyph and The Elder God giving him information about Glyphs. Note: Once you run out of Glyph power, retrace your steps to any Glyph shrine you have found then run into the glowing energy mist to recharge. You can also return to the Pillars of Nosgoth and recharge there or from the scattered Glyph energy refills around Nosgoth.
Glyph enhancement
Once you have Dumah's Constrict ability, go to Raziel's former clan. Once there, go through the wooden door to your left, and follow the passage. Do not go into the water. Once you have followed the passage all the way, you will reach a silo-like building. Climb up to the top of the building using the stairs. You will see a small gold object sticking out the ground. Run around this counter-clockwise twice. Stop once you see that the gold object has turned. You should notice the ramp you lowered earlier in the game has risen up again. Go to the switch on the wall and flip it. Another ramp will now lower. Go up this ramp, killing the Dumahim Vampire as you go along. Eventually, you will see a Glyph refill. Go back out to the gold object in the ground and again run around counter-clockwise. Stop once you see it turn. Once again, return to the switch on the wall and flip it again. A new ramp will now be lowered. Proceed up this ramp, again slaying the vampire as you proceed. You will now be in a large room, with another block puzzle. Stack all three blocks on top of each other and jump onto the high crevice ahead. Once you have finished the puzzle, you can collect the Glyph enhancement. You can also collect another item. To get it, return to the gold object and run around it counter-clockwise then flip the switch. Run up the ramp, kill the Dumahim Vampire, then proceed in the room to collect the item.
After killing Morlock and Rahab, go to Morlock's chamber where you fought him. Go through the small hole in the wall that was made earlier with your new skill. Retrace your steps to where the large ghost ship is located, just before entering the Flooded Abbey. Jump onto the boat and run up to the top north part of the ship. Look where the large, pointy object is pointing. Dive into the water, being cautious of the Rahabim Vampires, and swim in that direction. Eventually, you should see a tunnel under the water. Swim through it and follow the passage. Dodge the miffed vampires as move. You will now be in a large room. Be extremely careful in here. Swim to the other end of the room, then to the top. You should see the Glyph enhancement. Collect it, then leave the room through the passageway you swam through. Then, jump back on the boat. You may have also seen another cave in the water (towards the south of the ship); collect this if desired.
Easy health refill
Enter the spectral realm and gather up souls. If there are no souls, then fight slaugh and wraiths. Once filled, use a portal to re-enter the material realm and you will find that you now have full health. Also, if Soul Reaver has already been obtained, you will have it back as well.
