8 Spoiling the Story...

===============================================================================

1 - V E R S I O N H I S T O R Y - ( C O N T A C T I N F O )

===============================================================================

This is my first FAQ but not my first guide, form the age of thirteen I have

written guides detailing MEGA MAN to Mortal Kombat. This will be my first

semi-professional guide to date.

For any information you see missing in this guide, or perhaps something you

felt could have been more clear or involved; send your information to:

- C O N T A C T-

razieldemon@hotmail.com (MSN Messenger as well)

RazGAWD (AIM/Yahoo)

Fan Note: (I have been given an e-mail regarding the choice of my name.

The fact is Raziel has been my internet name since 1995. Please do not

send me any mail regarding this.)

I will give you any credit you deserve. If you wish to add me to an IM

please e-mail me the request first.

LoK: Defiance Complete Version 2 (December 6th, 2003)

The Defiance FAQ will be updated until I feel everything has been covered

throroughly. There were two spelling errors and now they are fixed. I

will be adding anything I feel are necessary. A new chapter will be

created for the next update; I am uncertain at this time what it will be

called but I am usually not content until I have perfected something.

LoK: Defiance the Completed Version (December 2nd, 2003)

Thanks to a great effort between myself and those who played through this

walkthrough, everything is finished. If I make an update for this guide it

will be packed with more codes glitch information and possibly more

dialogue that was not included in the other FAQ hosted in the in-depth

sections. But I would rather just as much write out some intermediate

dialogue and contribute for him/her as it seems they have put a great deal

of time and effort into their own work of art.

Thank you to all those who have been patiently waiting for the updates

and sending me the kind words and criticism. It is appreciated to have a

fine guide like this.

This update may not be around until the third of December due to a waiting

period.

LoK: Defiance Version .98 (December 2nd, 2003)

An update one hour after the last one, I found another Health Talisman for

Raziel, making the need For him only ONE left. Any contribution to this will

be very helpful.

Also found an easier way to the rooftops of Vorador's Mansion.

LoK: Defiance Version .95 (December 2nd, 2003)

The walkthrough has been complete.... ANYONE who has discovered the LAST TWO

TALISMANS for RAZIEL would be GREATLY appreciated for their contribution.

Some more concerns with reading difficulties have been addressed.

Paragraphs involving specific items will be somewhat more separated and

clear.

A chapter on glitches is being added and a few more enemies and basic ways

of killing them are listed.

Version 1.00 will be the next. Free of errors with the last two Talismans

listed.



LoK:Defiance Version .90 (November 27th, 2003)

This will be the last part of the walkthrough itself. I give credit to those

individuals who kindly e-mailed me the information on Chapters I, IV at the

end. I also went through Vorador's Mansion again to get more power-ups so an

extra Health talisman and two Ancient Tomes have been found.

The Look of the guide has also changed to make it more appealing. This was

done due to confusion I personally had reading my guide.

Next version I hope to have the rest of this walkthrough done but in he

meantime I advise anyone playing through this game to have a Save File just

prior to leaving Vorador's Mansion. Once you head to Avernus Cathedral the

searching seems to halt dramatically. It becomes a very straightforward game

and I should know; I have completed this game almost ten times now.

Two items are missing... A couple Health Talismans for Raziel.

LoK:Defiance Version .60 (November 24th, 2003)

The spelling mistakes form the previous version have been corrected as well

as grammatical errors. I have fixed some of the mis-named items and added

the sections leading up to Avernus Cathedral and the second part of The

Vampire Citadel. The first part of the the Vampire Citadel is missing due to

some missing pages in my walkthrough I hand wrote. I will be going through

this level again soon.

LoK:Defiance Version .25 (November 20th, 2003)

The Table of Contents and the first four game chapters are up. The first four

chapters to this guide are detailed. This guide has no acknowledgements as

of yet due to it all being my information so far. If you see something

missing in these missions I neglected please let me know so I can fit it into

the guide. Leave your name or alias so I may give you credit.

Do Not submit info for later chapters until they are written, there will be

at least four more versions before it's completion. Be patient but fire away

for anything that is already completed. Any Codes (button form) will be

listed.

===============================================================================

2 - G E T T I N G S T A R T E D -

===============================================================================

This guide is written to be as informative and precise as possible with as

few details as possible. Written to be spoiler free excluding the last

portion of the walkthrough, I have provided a chapter for those who need to

be indulged this fantastic story prematurely.

This guide will cover all aspects of gameplay to satisfy as many readers as

humanly possible. At the end of every section there will be an items

checklist and a brief description and function of enemies and how best to

kill them.

===========

= BUTTONS =

===========

This games buttons perform a variety of functions, there are two basic

categories for functions; Action and Combat, some of these are

interchangeable.

========================================

= Action- takes precedence over combat =

========================================

X- Jumping can only be performed in action mode (or when currently

dodging), a second press will perform a float or glide function.

When held over a marker for bat flight or super jumping, Kain

will perform the desired result when released.

Square- Will open doors and pick up objects. Holding Square on certain

stones will allow you to drag them using the left analogue stick.

Raziel will also use this combined with the Up/Down direction to

shift realms. Raziel may only shift to the material realm when

the ground is marked with a skull.

O- Will fire telekinetic blasts; useful for obliterating immediate

direction obstacles.

R1- Feeding is necessary throughout the game. Holding this button

down to continue feeding form a vessel or basin.

L3- This is your left analogue stick. Use this venture the land of

Nosgoth.

R2- This is a manual way to use Telekinetic Blasts. Hold this button

and aim it with the R3 controls and release it to let loose the

blast.

L1- Enter Combat stance and functions by holding this button.

R3- This analogue stick will allow you to view your surroundings at

any point in time.

Up/Down- The digital up brings up Kain's Quick Reaver menu, which is only

useful for altering his spell attack. For Raziel this brings up

shift icon or reaver icon respectively.

Left/Right-when the quick menu is highlighted for Kain he may manually

adjust the reaver's principle element. For Raziel the quick menu

does not exist and therefore simply changes the reaver's element.

==========

Combat-

==========

Square- This is for the *SPELL* and attack function. Hold Square for

2-3 seconds and release to unleash the Reaver spells. (Reaver

meter must be glowing (doesn't need to be full.)

Square- Attack with this button for ground level combat. When held

momentarily and released, the reaver will discharge a reaver

spell (only when fully maxed).

X- Various evasive movements when combined with L3. Jump while

attacking.

Triangle- Pop Up attack. This will knock your opponent into the air or

cause him to come crashing down form the air. This will

also feed the reaver blades.

O- Telekinetic Blast nearest opponent. (Kain can control his

targets.)

R1- Feed form a distance or at close range, its your choice.

L3- This will now function with the left and right side circling

opponents while up and down will cause you to move close or

farther away.

==========

ii: ITEMS

==========

A few items exist in Nosgoth that you can acquire.

Ancient Tomes- There are ten tomes per character throughout Nosgoth,

collect them by simply walking over them.

Bonus Orbs- When struck will offer one of the following:

Health Talisman- Will provide extra health capacity when three are

collected. Twelve in all.

Telekinetic Runes- Will enhance your telekinetic storage with each rune.

.. then others are environmental.

braziers- These metallic urns may be fueled with fire.

Waterfalls- May be frozen with a certain weapon.

Orbs of Light- These may hold the intensities of light or dark.

Soul & Blood Basin- These little pots of blood and blue liquid will

restore Kain and Raziel's Health.

Air Jets- Provide passage to higher areas.

Earth Dials- Creates stone platforms floating in the air.

=====================

iii: REAVER FUNCTIONS

=====================

The reaver for Kain and Raziel is their own weapons of choice. But the

reaver's true use and strength come with a great deal of time and effort.

Kain's Reaver:

Kain's reaver is endowed with the ability to absorb an enemies blood and

thereby strengthening it. The reaver can be charged by feasting on the

blood of victims who are incapacitated. When fully charged, the reaver

will glow with the respective color of it's elemental alignment. This

will strengthen the blows of the reaver and provide the reaver spells

that are very helpful in the game. Note that the strength power upgrade

is only present when the reaver is glowing.

Balance Reaver- The first fragment of the Balance emblem will allow

you to finally charge the reaver blade. The spell will

throw your enemies backward. This emblem is marked with

a skull for its center.

Flame Reaver - This emblem fragment is reddened with fire. It allows

Kain's telekinetic abilities to light braziers. The spell

will inspire hate in your adversaries causing them to

turn on one another. Lasts around five seconds.

Dimensional - This emblem has a green glow to it. It's spell will

Reaver perform a single attack on any enemy on the screen.

Once charged; for a short period of time a simple combo

will hurt all enemies with the final strike.

Lightning - This Reaver will electrify opponents when its spell is

Reaver cast. It is marked with an energy bolt. When powered,

the reaver will fire electrical strings between enemies

close by to the one you attack.

Time Reaver - This reaver is capable of slowing time and is marked

scales to imply it. Release its spell to perform Slow

Time. (Note: you may temporarily slow time while it

is simply charged.)

Raziel's Reaver:

Raziel's reaver is in fact a sentient life form. It thrives on the souls

of it's victims and has done so for thousands of years. It's ravenous

hunger is matched only by its master and will glow with its strengthening

providing a more powerful attack and its own reaver spell. The reaver's

past has been shrouded in mystery, but was created form the breaking of

the original Soul Reaver blade.

The blade may be elementally imbued in only the fonts found in specific

shrines throughout Nosgoth.

Spectral Reaver- This reaver blade is used only in the spectral realm,

the realm of death. it's spell sends out shock waves.

Material Reaver- Similar in nearly every way (with the exception of

it's color) to the Spectral Reaver.

Dark Reaver - This Blade is used to darken orbs filled with light,

and can cloak Raziel in darkness when it's spell is

activated. If simply charged, the reaver will dispell

shades form its blade to attack other combatants, but

only on the third strike of the standard three hit

combo.

Light Reaver - This blade can lighten orbs consumed in darkness, and

may light rooms too dark to comfortably see. It's

spell is akin to the first two reavers. The spell

sends a shock wave of light to blind your enemies.

While jst charged the standard combo will blind an

adversary.

Air Reaver - This blade can activate Jet Streams to make Raziel

float to unreachable platforms. Gusts of wind will

knock enemies backward with this spell and stun them.

Whats more a standard three hit attack when just

charged will provide the same effect on a single

target.

Fire Reaver - This blade is incased in fire and can burn braziers

and perform a devastating fire spell which sends

its victims into a burning frenzy.

Water Reaver - This enhancement allows the reaver to freeze

waterfalls to be used as climbing devices. When fully

powered the reaver can freeze enemies with a burst

of ice or just temporarily shell one with standard

combos.

Earth Reaver - With this reaver you may activate the Earth Devices

to create suspended stone platforms. It will also

remove the buoyancy water causes on Raziel in the

physical realm. Use its spell and drive the reaver

into the ground to pulverize footed enemies. As is

expected... this will only strike grounded opponants.

Spirit Reaver - This is the Ultimate wraith blade enhancement. Able

to render any normal opponent helpless with but a few

strikes. Its enhancement is present in both realms and

it's spell will render any normal enemy dead.



Soul Reaver - This is the last reaver in the game, not to mention it

the most powerful weapon ever forged. Who will wield

this prophesied weapon? Raziel, or Kain...?

===============================================================================

3 - K A I N V E R S U S R A Z I E L - PLAYING BASICS

===============================================================================

Kain and Raziel are very similar to one another but certain characteristics

make them independently unique. The experience of the reavers may also garner

certain abilities given enough experience (garnered in usage of spells and

amount of attack.)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

K A I N

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kain's powers are more dominant standing on the ground. His attack speed is

faster while his movement is more sluggish. His nature is that of a vampire

and sucks the blood of victims; sometimes through multiple targets.

His jumping float slows his descent and hinders his forward movement, this can

be quite useful form time to time. Some of his past abilities separate him

form Raziel. Where there are circular red markers Kain may Leap forward to a

great distance with amazing speed. Kain's mastery of telekinesis allows him

to toss a target in any way he pleases.

He may phase through grated barriers with mist. Finally, Kain's evasion takes

the form of mist, and is ground level only.

- A S H O R T B I T O N K A I N -

Kain has acquired many abilities throughout the series and sometimes these

omissions open up many questions. Here is this author's take on it.

In the first game, Blood Omen; Kain had access to many relics as well as spells

and these disappeared in the later games. I see the effort on Crystal

Dynamics' part to keep them in the game.

Blood Omen 2 is widely recognized as the worst of the Legacy of Kain series

among its fans. This is mostly due to the fact that the producer and director

of the Soul Reaver portion of the series, Amy Hennig; was not involved in its

concept. This being the case however, Amy has drawn some of the finer

qualities of this surprisingly unappreciated game and involved it into

Defiance's in-game abilities and storyline.

Check out The comparisons of Blood Omen 2 versus the original and Defiance.

In addition, Kain is also afforded newer attacks as his experience in combat

and spell casting grows. Utilize your spell function and kill as often as

possible to gain these abilities. Assume that each new level will require

twice as many kills and spell casting.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1 Cadaverus Laceration-Will allow Kain to perform a flurry of stab attacks with

the reaver within combos.

2 Infernal Sundering- Kain may perform a similar combo to the previous but

while in the air.

3 Sanguine Censure- A blow that drives Kain's victims in the earth, this

attack gives Kain the opportunity to combo the bouncing

body.

4 Nightmare's Hammer- Similar to Sanguine Censure but developed for the air.

5 Kinetic Shackles- This fun attack will hold your foe in place allowing you

leisure in which to kill.

All of these attacks are performed with a quick jerk of the analogue and the

attack button to perform.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

R A Z I E L

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is naturally a creature of the spectral realm.... the realm of the dead. His

horrible death gave him a unique resurrection, allowing him to shift between

the material world and that of the dead. This distortion in space will open

new ways in which to explore. Within the spectral realm Raziel may not

interact with anything of a physical nature, even water has no buoyancy.

Within the spectral realm Raziel may phase through grated obstacles with mere

will of effort.

Raziel is dominant in the air and his reaver's elemental abilities far outway

Kain's. He dodges with swift jumps to and for. He can even glide with the

ruined tatters of his wings.

Raziel's own telekinetic abilities are far less than Kain's however and honed

to projecting orbs of kinetic force.

Raziel's past abilities have for the most part remained intact. His form of

rematerializing has changed slightly and drained of energy he will always die

rather than shift planes of reality. But now he can shift at will.

For the most part Raziel has retained his old powers from previous games. The

forges for the reavers are now permanant and his telekinesis has changed

just slightly. To date the only ability that has been removed form his powers

is the ability to constrict. For whatever reason Dumah's gift has been lost.

As Raziel's experience and spell casting uses increase, Raziel will develope

new combat techniques. Assume that each new level will require twice as much

experience. These are identical to Kain in everything except appearance

with the acception of the first two.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1 Perforate Carcass- Raziel can dodge roll into his enemies and thrust the

wraithblade in jabs at rapid speed. Not very useful.

2 Phatasmal Tempest- A Hellicopter like attack performed in the air gives

Raziel protection form all sides as well as a dangerous

ability.

3 Shatter Spirit- Identical to Sanguine Censure.

4 Empyreal Rending- Identical to Nightmare's Hammer.

5 Stasis Feild- Identical to Kinestic Shackles.

(Spoilers for new Players)

===============================================================================

Before continuing new players, this portion of the guide I provide for those

who are only interested in the game they are playing now. The story of The

Legacy of Kain is very rich and full of mythology and even if I wanted to recap

it all it would take up the whole of this guide. If you plan on playing/buying

the earlier games I advise you not to read further and skip ahead to the

Walkthrough.

For those of you who have no intention of playing any of the previous four

installments I will open your curiosity vault for a bit.

BLOOD OMEN

The story takes place in the era of corruption. The Circle of Nine, a sorcerer

caste of people represent the principles of virtue in Nosgoth, to each a

pillar. With the murdering of Ariel, the guardian of balance, the Circle fell

into madness.

It was in this world the young Kain was born. Thirty years later he is

murdered by Brigands in the town of Ziegerstulch. Possessed by his own madness

his soul could not rest and it was at this time Mortanius the necromancer rose

Kain form his crypt as a vampire.

Kain killed his assassins but discovered a greater role for himself through the

meeting with Ariel, the murdered wraith of the Balance guardian.

She sent him on a quest to murder the other members of the circle of nine to

purify their corrupted and broken pillars.

Ariel's love Nupraptor was the first. From there Kain fought with Malek only

to fail.

He then sought out the Oracle of Nosgoth in the forzen mountains. There he

found a soothsayer who prophesized Kain's future and sent him to

the Termogent Forest to find Vorador.

Deep within that black forest he found a fate worse than Hell. The vision of

the nature he now represented. A vampire of great power and hedonism, Vorador

the scourge of the circle and the only one to ever defeat Malek sat at his

great table like a God. Vorador offered alliance with Kain as bemused as he

was with Kain and astonishment at his youth.

Kain headed to Dark Eden, a land twisted by the corruption seeping out of

Nosgoth. There he killed the guardians of Nature and Energy while Vorador

destroyed Malek.

form there Kain went to Avernus Cathedral combating demons and worshippers

until finding the Soul Reaver. There he murdered Azimuth the guardian of

dimension and discovered a time machine left behind.

His travels brought him to Willendorf the greatest of all kingdoms in Nosgoth.

There he discovered the ruling King weeping over the soulless vessel of his

daughter. The kingdom would remain in shambles as the legions of the nemesis

swept Nosgoth if King Ottmar would not return to power.

Kain found the girl's soul imprisoned in a doll held by the man Elzevir.

As the princesses eyes fluttered open the king granted the request of Kain's

war on the Nemesis.

The battle ended and the Nemesis won...

Kain used the time streaming device and was transported 50 years into

Nosgoth's past to fight William the Juste, who would become the author and

leader of the Nemesis.

After which Kain returned to his own time to find Vorador dead and he the

last survivor of his race.

He took out his wrath on the Oracle of Nosgoth now revealed as Moebius the

Time Streamer; guardian of time. Severing his head Kain was warned that he

was to die.

With this Kain returned to the Pillars of Nosgoth where Mortanius guardian of

death revealed that he rose Kain to purify the circle. He murdered Anacrothe

and restored the pillar of states. Then turned on Kain himself.

The battle ensued and with Mortanius death; the demon which incited all of

the events which unfolded, came out of hiding. Dwelling inside Mortanius

himself all along, he chalenged the young Kain. Kain triumphed

though only to discover he is the guardian of balance and must also die to

restore the land.

There were two choices to his destiny.... one to save the world at his

sacrifice... or to damn it....

SOUL REAVER

With the destruction of the pillars once more made, Kain sat himself

arrogantly at their base and raised his vampire lieutenants to rule Nosgoth.

The six were named Melchiah, Zephon, Rahab, Dumah, Turel and Raziel.

After so many years of imbalance the world fell into total chaos.

As vampires grow in age they also suffer periods of rapid metamorphosis.

Their powers increase and new abilities are developed.

When Raziel dared evolve before Kain, Kain suffered dread. He tossed

Raziel into the Lake of the Dead to avert a destiny only later to be told.

Centuries afterward, Raziel awakens under a mysterious Elder God, changed

and powerful and beyond death; Raziel goes on a crusade to murder the

brethren who aided in his destruction.

With each one's death Raziel gained new powers. Climbing walls like

a spider, constricting barriers, swimming as no vampire can stand water's

touch, telekinetic projection and phasing through grated obstacles from the

souls of the four lieutenants he murdered. One evaded him.

Within the ancient tomb of the Sarafan Raziel found the truth of his past,

his role as vampire hunter and sarafan. Just like Malek had been a sarafan

priest, so were all of his brothers.

Kain tempted Raziel into a battle that would destroy the ancient Soul

Reaver. Shattered upon Raziel's back, it was liberated as the wraith blade.

From then on, the blade was bonded to Raziel.

Kain escaped into the base of the mountain. In the Oracle's chamber, where

Kain had learned his destiny from Moebius.

SOUL REAVER 2

Kain leapt into Nosgoth's past with Raziel following closely behind.

Snatched form the sea of time Moebius brought Raziel only hours before the

destruction of the pillars occured; to the Sarafan Stronghold.

Raziel explored the stronghold and found the broken reaver blade which

William the Juste used in his battle with Kain.

That event altered history as Raziel recalled, spurring the annihilation of

the vampire race. The wraith blade bonded to Raziel as it was, willfully

took control and restored the shattered blade before it. Nearly

killing Raziel in the process to heal the blade, the reaver became aware.

At the pillars Raziel listened to Kain tell the story of his role as

balance guardian and the events Moebius had set to render Kain's destiny

impotent. Moved by this story, Raziel allowed Kain to escape.

Within the black forest Raziel met Vorador who apparently understood who

Raziel was, and his purpose. Vorador explained that Janos Audron the

oldest vampire to have ever lived new the answers of Raziel's destiny but

had died five hundred years prior.

Questioning and unsure, Raziel once again sought out Kain. Within Williams

Chapel he found him there with the blade. There Kain took up the Reaver and

explained destiny.

Nothing can be truly changed without the combination of two reavers meeting

in time and space, only then can time be shaped. That was how history was

rewritten when Kain fought William. Placing the sword in Raziel's hand the

reaver became the soul reaver once more. And there Kain told him that this

was the time he was supposed to die. If Raziel truly believed in free will,

he could not kill Kain, or else tell the tale history had made.

Raziel tried in vain and over powered history. Kain vanished once more

and Raziel threatened Moebius into sending him through time again in hopes of

meeting Janos Audron. But the Time streamer's ploys had sent him to two

hundred years in Nosgoth's future.

The corruption from Kain's act had apparently spawned demons and a multitude

of horrors.

Within the forest he found a means to go back in time to the days of Janos.

He searched the mountains and comes upon the Ancient's Aries.

There he found Janos Audron. Janos explained that Raziel is the

Savior of Nosgoth and the reaver had been made for him as his weapon of

salvation.

Before a lengthy conversation could transpire The eldest Sarafan Warrior

Priests invaded Janos'keep and murdered him. They ripped his heart free

and stormed off. Raziel imbued the wraith blade with the element of fire

and headed to the stronghold of the Sarafan.

There he found the reaver blade placed along his path. Moebius appeared

with Malek and disempowered the wraithblade. Raziel took up the empty

reaver but is locked inside the room. From there he found the Sarafan

Priests, the men who would become his vampire brethren....

He slayed them all with the exquisite irony that though Kain had raised

them defiled from their corpses; he had been the one who murdered them.

Within the largest chamber he found his former self, and renounced his

Sarafan heritage with the death of Sarafan Raziel.

Away form Moebius' staff the wraithblade unraveled around the reaver and

impaled Raziel; and began to drain his power and life into the sword.

With fateful realization, Raziel understood why the reaver had broken on

him... because the ravenous wraithblade trapped in the reaver had always

been his own soul. The entity could not eat its own spirit.

Just before he could be taken into the blade Kain found Raziel, with the

two reaver souls hovering inside and out of the reaver; the climactic

moment of paradox Kain gambled on had now arrived. Kain removed the

blade form Raziel; and caused an enormous paradox.

Something happened in that moment when Kain spared Raziel. Memories

changed drastically in Kain's mind and with sudden awareness he uttered

"My god.... the Hylden!!! Raziel, Janos must stay DEAD!"

But it had been too late, Raziel fell unconscious into the spirit world

and the warning lost.

Raziel stared at the wraithblade bonded to his arm and realized that he

did not escape his horrible fate.... he had merely post-poned it.

HISTORY ABHORS A PARADOX...

And this ends the recap.

5 - W A L K T H R O U G H - P A R T 1

===============================================================================

This walkthrough is designed for ease of use and bluntness. At the end of

each section is a list of new enemies and methods on how to kill them. Also

at the end of each section is a quick listing of where the various

power-ups are located and a final list of total items found.

Spoilers are not used at least to the best of my endeavor.

For Spoilers go to the section after the walk through.

Enjoy your Defiance.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hunt for Moebius

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The intro is a quick recap on events that transpired in the previous games

and Kain's reasoning for having done the things he had.

The scene takes place within the stronghold with Kain Searching for Moebius.

Proceed down the corridor to fight your first set of two guards. Keep hints on

during the game. Attack with your standard three hit combo. Drink their blood

using the blood suck button.

Jump on the stone in the right hand corner, jump to the left on top of the

booth and walk along the catwalk jumping the other two booths. Walk right

until you get to a wall with horizontal ridges. These are scalable walls,

climb them when you see them. Once you have move the direction of the analogue

into the fence to go through it (in mist form). (With Raziel and Kain this will

now be called PHASING to prevent confusion with too many terms.)

There will be a short voice over. After which head up the stairs until you

come across a large set of prison cells. Go through the first to find the

first bonus item; a Health Talisman. Three of these will permanently increase

your health capacity.

Go to the third large cell and blast the wall down with a telekinetic orb. This

method will now be called TKing. Proceed through the open way to the water

zone. Climb the piping on the far wall and jump on the vertical brazier of

piping. Now jump left and head down to the scalable wall. Climb up and jump

to the next floor. Now move to the next one and do the same thing. Walk to

the right before the door on the wooden portion of the catwalk to get a

Telekinetic Rune. This will increase your TK gauge.

Now head through the doorway until you reach a small courtyard. TK the guards

right over the wall for a few quick kills or pull them towards you and finish

them that way. Hint: since these are some of the easiest enemies in the game

it is a perfect time to boost the experience of the reaver blade.

Move to the next room and through the gate. Head to the NE portion of Malek's

Courtyard to get your first tome. Head through the south door and its hallway

avoiding the flaming arrows or destroying the machines that operate them.

BALANCE EMBLEM

Once in the main hall grab the Tome on the right hand side before the large

iron gates and then proceed through. Before you can reach the first piece of

the balance emblem you will be confronted by two archer sarafan. Use

telekinesis to draw them off the ledges to fight them one on one. Afterwards

grab the balance emblem's first piece. Marked with a skull it will empower

the reaver to perform its first violent spell and increase it's attack power.

Kill the four sarafan with this new blade.

Head to the right to destroy the barrier and proceed through.

You will see a familiar courtyard again either toss the sarafan off the wall or

fight them by drawing them forward. Now move to where they were and jump up to

the catwalk. Head left and up the stairs for the next TK Rune.

Destroy the pillar highlighted in green with a TK blast and climb up. Phase

through the gate.

Jump down and walk up to the first dummy highlighted in red. Wait a couple

seconds for a hint to come up. Follow these hints. Eventually the dummy

will disappear and you will have to do this with each dummy as they are

highlighted in red. A curtain will burn away to reveal a cracked wall. Smash

it down and get the second Health Talisman. Go through the door. Feed form

the victims if necessary and scale the left wall to destroy the bridge break.

It will be under the gear.

Head out of the room across the bridge kill the guards and head to the blessed

barrier. Strike it and go through it. Jump off the stairs to the ground to

make your descent quicker. Climb out of the hole and head through the doorway.

Hold the jump button over the red marker for a few seconds to leap to the

next ledge. manually TK the stone structures in front of you and then leap

form one to the other onto the next ledge. There jump to the left to the

next ledge and continue in that direction to pick up another Health

Talisman.

Now jump into the backgrounds cliff on the right hand side of that ledge

to proceed. Jump to the ground on the other side past the gondola. Now TK

The red spiral switch above the stone door. These will now be called

TK switches.

A major cinematic will begin and you will be faced with a host of lesser

shades. Kill them all.

- Enemies: -

------------

Sarafan Warriors: They vary slightly form one another with pole weapons

swords and axes but remain relatively similar.

Basic combos work effectively but popping them in the

air with a few strikes and an Arial slash followed

by a combo will significantly weaken one. The axe

Sarafan can combo you so watch for them.

Sarafan Archers: They are pestering form a distance but easy prey

close by. Keep them near you and you will have no

problems.

Sarafan sorcerers: This caste is weak comparatively to the others but

pose the greatest threat to your person by

spell casting. Eliminate them with basic combos

before any other enemies.

Shades: These will be a common occurence in Nosgoth. TK's

inflict little damage but stun them. use only the

basic three hit combos because they will not pop up

or yield to diverse attacks.

- Enemies: -

------------

V. Hunters (fem): These enemies use pole weapons. The female

portion of the caste are very much like the

sarafan types of this kind except they cannot

block. (The wraith blade cannot really be

blocked.)

V. Hunters (male): The males attack like the females except they

throw molotov cocktails form a distance. These

enemies accuracy is lower however. Use the same

techniques as you do on the female version.

Sorceress Hunters: These hunters can empower their allies with

stronger attacks, regeneration and higher

defense. What separates them form their sarafan

counterparts is they can teleport and create a

barrier that will only be destroyed if attacked

with telekinesis first. They can also create

magical barriers that will encase Raziel in a

confined area.

-(Use the same techniques on the hunters as you

would the sarafan.)-



revenants: Regular caste revenants are actually very easy.

They can throw projectile vomit which is slow

and can be cut. As long as you keep attacking

they cannot hurt you badly. Their only strong

point is their stamina. These guys take a

pounding.

Gollums: These stone monsters provide quite a challenge

in the beginning. Wait for one to strike when

your close then dodge away. Dodge towards them

and slash them with a three hit combo. You can

usually pull off one more combo before they

come out of their dazed state.

Their attacks are all nearly close range.

When in groups get them to kill each other by

dodging between them when they swing.

VIII - V O R A D O R 'S M A N S I O N - R A Z I E L

===============================================================================

The most disparing level in this game. Many people have asked me how to get

through the mansion. This level will upset you. Garunteed. But it also will

become the most replayable level in the game. There is enough play-time in

this level to make it a rich playing experience.

Walk up and hit the square button at the large mansion doors. A small

cinematic will begin. Now kill the two gollums. Head back to the mansion and

climb the ruins above the door. Blast the window and shift planes. Now phase

through the window and head down either hallway. Go to the adjacent hallway

midway and look for the conduit. Rematerialize and fight the few revenants.

Now head up the staircase and go through either door. Go down the hall and

kill any revenants you feel necessary. Both halls meet in a room with statues

on either side and a door with a TK switch above it. Equip the Fire Reaver and

TK the switch. Two revolving braziers will appear out of the wall. Burn them

quickly before the puzzle can reset. Now go through to the next level.

This next area will be called the Water Zone. There are three looming

gargoyles a pond and two air jets at the end of the room. Go to the next floor

by activating an airjet and ride to the top. Go into the Fire Door on the left

side. Go all the way down the halls and steps until you reach a small wall

picture. A cinematic will begin; afterwards shift realms and phase through

the grated bars to the right of the picture. Go through the glass window room

and outside. There jump into the background and down the hill. Use the

conduit at the base of the hill and charge the reaver. Equip the Fire Reaver

and stand in the center of the braziers. Use the Fire Spell and light them all

at once.

Head back up the hill and past the green house area you came form. You will

see a circular stone structure with a statue in the center. Climb the pillar

on the left and then up top. Head along to the other side. Destroy the

windowed doorway towards the mansion on what appears to be a second floor.

Glide across and through the doorway. Head down the hall and to the left for a

TK rune. Now head right and kill the revenants.

Burn the two braziers near the fireplace and destroy the cracked wall beyond it.

Now shift realms and phase through the bars. Jump to the ledge to the left.

form there glide to both suspended platforms and to the left ledge. Now jump

to the ledge to the left of that one and use the conduit to rematerialize.

Jump back over to the ledge to the right and go through the door. Follow the

hallway to the next door to enter the Library.

BLOOD DRINKER

The goal in the library is to light the six dark orbs so equip the Light

Reaver. The locations are listed and how to get them.

2) The painting on the first floor looking towards the entrance. Destroy it

and light the orb beyond it.

3) The second floor looking towards the entrance on the right. Follow the

stairs and glide and stagger form the top to get to the next orb. (If you

couldn't see it go to the first floor and use the camera.)

4) The second floor looking to the right. Climb the stairs and pull out the

book shelf that you can drag out. Push it to the side and light the orb.

5) Destroy the table in the center of the room as well as the benches around

it. Drag the tower on the left past the fireplace onto the switch where the

table used to be. The flames in the fireplace will disappear. Light the

orb.

6) Jump the scalable wall to the right of the entrance. Climb up and to the

pillar. Hit the TK switch at the end of the room and QUICKLY jump form

spike rail to spike rail all the way to the chandelier. Light the orb.

Now retrieve the Blood Drinker form the statue. Head back to the entrance

and down the hallway.

From there jump off the ledge and fight the three gollums.

Head back up the stairs and go back to the Water Zone. Use the airjets to get

to the second floor and impale the statue on the left side.

Now go to the Air Door. Head down the hall into the water. Shift realms and

phase through the gate on the bottom. Look for the scalable wall and climb up

out of the water. Head left and use the conduit to rematerialize. Now head

right past the blue door to the larger set on the right side. Go down the hall

and kill any revenants. Go up to the next room and jump the first landing;

then to the next one. Scale the wall and jump to the next ledge. Now scale

that one. Glide across to the next ledge with the window on it. Blast it then

shift realms. Phase through the gate and head along the high path to the

conduit at the other end. Rematerialize.

Notice the over looking pillars?

Go to the one closest to the window you came out of and jump to it. Now shift

realms and glide to the pillar to your upper-left hand side. Now jump to the

next one to the other high path. Follow the side all the way through the

doorway and go down the stairs. At the bottom under the stairwell is a conduit

to rematerialize through. Now head through the door on the left side. Kill

the revenants. Now go through the door at the end of the hall.

use of the charge stone. Also any you don't need the spell for will have

Enter the Water Zone and use the airjets to the second floor again. Place

Go through the Fire Door again and head down the hall. This time the wall

before the grated door will be cracked. TK it and head back towards the stone

columns.

GOLDEN HALF OF VORADOR'S CREST

stone structure that has cracks in it with a blue angel. TK it and go down

the piping. Head down the sewer until your camera changes and you see a

long stretch of water. Hit the TK switch across the water and quickly jump

the rising pillars. This may take a couple tries. At the other end is Half

Go through the hallway and see the Fireplace with a circular symbol above

it? Destroy the cracked wall beyond it and head down the hallway. You will

Go to the Spirit Forge. Along the way you will pick up the last tome.

The Eye is protected.

Avoid the tentacles. If one raises slowly be prepared to side-dodge it. If

it sweeps jump over it as it moves left and right. When it comes to a stop

strike it.

When the barrier is removed form the eye run over quickly and strike it with a

three hit combo and follow it up with another.

When the flares follow you side step in the opposite direction of its curve.

(Green flares don't need to be dodged.)

More tentacles will appear later on just use the same basic tactic you did

when it was just the one. (Actually I find it easier with more of them.)

The eye will sometimes randomly burst flares at you so be on the look out.

Four solid rounds of whacks to the big ole' eye should put the monster out of

commission.

Kain found his way into the Sarafan Stronghold to look for Moebius.

Moebius awaited Kain beneath the stronghold in the catacombs; knowing Kain was

searching for Raziel.

Kain tried to intimidate Moebius but his staff dominated Kain's vampiric

powers.

Later, Kain found Moebius high in the tower. He tossed the staff from Moebius

and forcefully took Moebius information on Raziel's whereabouts and was

directed to the Vampire Citadel.

There Kain discovered a memory of prophesy where a vampire would face an

adversary of equal strength. In order to enter the tomb Kain had to restore

the Balance Emblem.

Once he did he met the Oracle, an ancient creature who explained Raziel was

not the hero of the vampires, but the adversary. It offers to whisk Kain

five hundred years into the future to fulfill his destiny.

Within the bowels of the nether realm Raziel struggled against the Elder God.

He was starved and imprisoned there awaiting release.

After tricking the Elder, Raziel found his way out of his ward and to the

surface realm. The conduits Raziel had always relied on were deprived from

him; forcing him to search for a way out. He found a fresh corpse and

inhabited it, transforming its tissue into his own.

He discovered the shrines of light and darkness which he used to open his way

to the pillars.

He then questioned the specter of Ariel and discovers himself five hundred

years from the last time he walked physically in the world. Ariel distrusted

him and his origins but told him where to find Vorador.

Raziel imbued the reaver with fire and air and discovered through murals more

of his ancient heritage.

Vampires once warred against a race very similar to theirs eons ago. They

had worshipped a god of fate and banished the non believers into the demon

realm. But not without consequence. The vampires were afflicted with

sterility and a blood hunger.

To sustain their enemies banishment, the vampires called upon nine guardians

to represent the pillars. But as time progressed the vampires began to die

out and humans began to take their place. Unwilling to lose their heritage

the vampires began abducting the human guardians and transforming them into

the new race of vampires.

Among the first to be changed was a weaponsmith named Vorador. He was not a

guardian but the forger of the reaver blade. The blade which became a holy

relic to the vampires. Vorador was the first vampire born into the blood

curse with the Dark Gift.



Eventually the humans turned on their Guardians, lead by Mortanius and

Moebius.

It was said that the hero to the vampires would wield the reaver against his

adversary, a creature of equal power that represented the banished race.

The Hylden's champion would bear a sword of flame and there were two

possible outcomes. Either champion could win.

Armed with new information Raziel sought out Vorador within his mansion.

There he discovered another more chilling mural that spoke of the vampires

immortality, and their denial their god of fate.

Raziel confronted Vorador with the questions of his heritage to which he

responded with vague commentary. Then Raziel was brought to Janos' crypt and

Raziel was sent to Avernus in search of the Heart of Darkness; Janos'own heart.

Kain found himself in the Nosgoth after the pillars' damnation.

He sought out Avernus for Raziel.

Below the catacombs of Avernus Raziel discovered his true origin as the

adversary to the vampire race.

He faced Hash Ak Gik who had possessed his brother Turel. Turel had been

summoned to the past to control the humans and aid the Hylden against his will.

Raziel consumed his soul and found his way above Turel's lair. There he met

with Mortanius who was also imprisoned by Hash Ak Gik but possessed enough

will to explain his story.

Mortanius had used the Heart of Darkness to remake Kain into a vampire. Thus

setting prophesy into motion. He left Raziel with the knowledge that he and

Kain would face each other soon.

Kain arrived at Avernus Cathedral to seek out Raziel. There the two spoke and

Kain tried to reason with Raziel. In the end, the battle was inevitable and

Raziel seeing it that way fought Kain.

Ripping Kain's own heart out, Raziel sent Kain's body into the demon realm.

Raziel returned to Vorador's Mansion only to find the vampire had been taken

by Moebius' mob. He found Janos and resurrected him.

Janos remembered the prophesy but was shocked to discover Raziel was the

enemy. Janos chose to aid Raziel to the vampire citadel for the final

forging of the wraithblade.

Raziel had to fight with the Elder to get him to leave the forge alone long

enough to imbue the blade with the Balance Guardian's of pasts souls.

The spirit reaver was forged and Raziel returned to Janos. The pillars were

destroyed in that instant from the younger Kain and Hash stol Janos' mind.

Raziel tried to kill Janos but lacked the fortitude to finish the job. Hash

punished Raziel by forcing him into the spectral realm before flying off.

Kain awoke in the demon realm. With his heart removed he was still alive

somehow. He battled demons to free himself and headed to the Citadel.

There he found Moebius resurrected from his battle with Kain's younger self

and speaking to some unknown being. Moebius tried to stop Kain with his

staff but with Janos' heart removed from Kain it was powerless against him.

Kain killed Moebius and Raziel was waiting for him on the other side.

Moebius tried to barter his life back from the Elder God he cannot see.

Raziel impaled him on the Spirit Reaver and purified Moebius sight. Now

Moebius understood what he had worshipped for eons... and then Raziel

handed him back to the wheel of fate.

The Elder threatened to drag Kain and Raziel into the bowels of the Earth.

Raziel pleased to see Kain alive, made his decision... he would return to

purify the reaver.

Entering Moebius' body, Kain struck the reaver into Raziel, ignorant of

the fact that it was his first lieutenant he impaled.

Raziel appeared and Kain tried to force the reaver out of him. But Raziel

spoke, healing Kain of impurity and explained that he must enter the reaver

for Nosgoth to be restored.

He ended by saying he would see the true enemy.

Kain attacks the Elder forcing him underground... knowing one day, he will face

him again.
