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-
[email protected] (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...

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.

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.

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
Instead of going up again look for another wall to the upper right of the
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

until you reach a stone obstacle. Scale the wall to the left and jump over
the obstacle. Now go to the first area of the Vampire Citadel.

This boss is relatively easy. Make sure your not in combat mode when you
fight it. If it swoops down jump away form it. Strike it when it\'s got a
headache. The tornadoes can just be walk around. The shock wave is
unavoidable but the creature can be TKed and held there to be stopped. ONLY
hit the creature when it has a headache. It may summon revenants but with the
new power of the blade it takes a strike to kill them. Use the revenants to
charge the spell. Then Unleash it when the creature has a headache. This will
knock off a quarter of it\'s life.

Kill the Demons and escape the realm. Climb the scalable wall and enter
Mortanius\' chamber for a Health Talisman. Head out of the catacombs killing the
demons there (Grab the tome along the way.)
Leave the Catacombs and Bat Flight out of Avernus.

In the first room is a TK rune.
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.

There have been numerous glitches that I have been e-mailed with.
So far the majority of these seem to affect are Chapter 4: The Cemetery and
Chapter 8: Vorador\'s Mansion.
GLITCH 1- Doors Lock up on me what can I do?
CEMETERY-
After you exit the decorative shield zone/light shrine there are two doors
that line the mountainous barrier that encloses the grounds below and the
stone structures.
Simply save and reset.
GLITCH 2- The charge stones disappear?
IN THEORY-
This can happen anywhere. Again save and restart. Whatever causes this
glitch remains unknown but can happen from time to time.
GLITCH 3- I passed through a window/door mistakenly and Raziel went through
but he can\'t get out! There is no conduit what do I do?
VORADOR\'S MANSION-
You will probably only run into this in this level. But it is possible it
will happen in other areas with weak barriers.
In the mansion it is possible to climb the circular stone structures beyond
the fire door and fly through the window above without breaking it or
going in it in the material world. However... this will lock Raziel in the
room.
Just down the hill near the large set of braziers is a door to a crypt. If
you alter the manual camera angles to go off-focus of Raziel, you can
magically move beyond the barrier and head to Janos\'crypt. Again you will
be locked inside.
TO CORRECT a glitch like this all you need to do is go off-focus of Raziel
and go through the barrier. Voila.... Raziel will escape.
GLITCH 4- I am stuck in the ground... cannot move... etc. what do I do?
ANY LEVEL-
Pray to god and kiss your ass goodbye. Actually if you off-focus your
character and jump around or walk around you will usually break free.
Otherwise simply save and reset.
THESE GLITCHES ARE NOT IRREPARABLE.
So far I haven\'t seen a glitch that I can\'t get out of by saving and
resetting or messing with camera angles.
GLITCH 5- I followed your walkthrough to the T but I am stuck?
IT MAY OR MAY NOT BE A GLITCH.
Unfortunately words are open to interpretation. In the future I will do
my best to describe everything in great detail but unfortunately this will
always occur. If you get stuck, try figuring it out for a minute. I have
no photos to go along with this. But if you are spending hours and hours
of gameplay trying to just leave a single room you probably have run into a
glitch. Try the methods I have expressed first, then e-mail me if you
can\'t seem to escape. Detail how you ran into the glitch so I can try it
myself. If I can correct this glitch it will be added to the glitch list.

Fear the Tube-
This one comes courtesy of Nosgothic Realm.
Go to the pause menu while controlling Kain and hit :
UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, R2, L2, TRIANGLE, DOWN, CIRCLE
You will now hold the mighty weapon of destruction... the cardboard tube.
The camera will reset and you will hear Kain say \"Fear the Tube\".
