==============A. Story=============

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 2, picks up where the first one leftoff. Kain and Raziel are in Moebius' Chronoplast chamber, having aheated argument. Kain jumps through the time portal and slips intoNosgoth's past. Raziel must follow the evil Kain through differenttimes in Nosgoth's history, and stop him from destroying everything inhis path. Basically, this game is just like the first Soul Reaver,

except there are new friends and foes, and new power=ups for Raziel andthe Soul Reaver. Raziel also finds out more about his past as a SarafanWarrior, before Kain resurrected him and his Sarafan Brothers, to behis sons, his Lieutenants in an evil empire.

=============B. Controls=============

===============C. Characters


3/26

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

Raziel - "Born" to Kain as a Son and a Lieutenant of his Army, Razielis really a Sarafan Warrior whose tomb Kain raided. Kain resurrectedRaziel and the other Sarafan buried with him, and made them his "sons,"who were to help him rule his empire of Nosgoth. Raziel, unfortunately,evolved before his master Kain did (Raziel grew wings at the beginningof the first game), and was thrown into the Lake of the Dead, destinedto burn in the lake for all eternity. By some luck, however, the ElderGod, a giant squid who dwells within the Abyss of the Lake, savedRaziel, giving him new life, and the ability to absorb the souls of hisdefeated enemies. This is how Raziel became the Soul Reaver.

Kain - Kain, born to noble parents, and thinking himself invincible,became a vampire after being murdered by robbers. When Kain wasresurrected, he found himself to be a vampire (see Blood Omen: TheLegacy of Kain on Playstation.) At first, Kain made a decent attempt athealing Nosgoth by destroying the corrupt sorcerers who were poisoningit. But Kain became power hungry, and decided to rule Nosgoth ratherthan save it. He resurrected Raziel and the other Sarafan Warriors as

his "sons" to help him rule this land.

Moebius - Moebius is the controller and watcher of Time. He controlsthe Time Portals, which Kain is using to jump between eras. He is adeceitful little man, with an agenda of his own. He is not to betrusted.

Vorador - An ancient vampire who roams the land which Raziel firstfinds himself in. Raziel feels that someone is watching him the wholetime he is there, and later encounters Vorador outside of the DarkForge.

Ariel - The Balance Guardian, who was murdered. She now haunts the

Pillars of Nosgoth.

Elder God - The giant squid from the first Soul Reaver. He is bothRaziel's savior, and his executioner. He saved Raziel from the Lake ofthe Dead by transforming his broken body into its new, soul devouringform, forever condemning Raziel to walk lands of Nosgoth, searching forthe remaining vampires

Janos Audron - An ancient vampire, and the 10th Guardian of the Pillars.He is the only Guardian still living. He explains Raziel's destiny tohim, and how the Soul Reaver was forged.

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

D. Reaver Guide=============

Dark Reaver - The first elemental power that Raziel acquires for theSoul Reaver is Darkness. When the Soul Reaver has been recharged in aDark fountain (they look like bowls with dark, purple light), itbecomes the Dark Reaver. You can tell if the Dark Reaver is active bylooking at the bottom left corner of your screen. If there is aneclipse symbol (the moon over the sun), the Dark Reaver is active. Youcan activate items with Dark Reaver symbols on them by using the action


4/26

button while the Soul Reaver is in this state. Raziel can also activateDark Reaver altars, which look like Purple Flames coming from spots onthe ground. Shove the Dark Reaver into the altar to activate a DarkBridge, which Raziel can walk on. The Dark Reaver's projectiles canalso be used to blind the Sentry Eyes located around Nosgoth, for ashort period of time.

Light Reaver - The second elemental power that Raziel acquires for theSoul Reaver is Light. When the Soul Reaver has been recharged in aLight fountain (a bowl with yellow/white light), it becomes the LightReaver. This is represented by a Sun symbol in the lower left corner ofyour screen. You can activate items with Light Reaver symbols on themby using the action button while the Soul Reaver is in this state.Raziel can also use the Light Reaver to shoot the Pink Orbs found oversome doors, which are activated by the Light Reaver's projectile.

Air Reaver - The third elemental power that Raziel acquires for theSoul Reaver is Air. When the Soul Reaver has been recharged in an Airfountain (a bowl with a bluish light), it becomes the Air Reaver. It isrepresented by a circle, with three U=shaped symbols attached to it, in

the lower left hand corner. You can activate break weak walls using theAir Reaver's projectiles, and also you can activate Air Reaver altarswith it. The Air Reaver altars look like the Air Reaver symbol, andwill be located on the ground. Plunge the Air Reaver into them toactivate an updraft, which Raziel can glide on.

Fire Reaver - The fourth elemental power that Raziel acquires for theSoul Reaver is Fire. When the Soul Reaver has been recharged in a Firefountain (a bowl with a flame coming out of it), it becomes the FireReaver. It is represented by a fire triangle, with a circle in themiddle. It can open doors with the Fire Reaver symbol on it.

E. Glitches and Precautions====================

==============Sarafan Stronghold==============

This new glitch comes via email from Carrol Curtis([email protected]). Thank you, you were the first to be able to give medetailed information on how this glitch occurred!

"I found another glitch! It is at the very start of the game whenRaziel finds the physical Soul Reaver on that tomb. Well after Mobieusleaves and and the doors shut and lock, I tried to go back in. I jumpedand held forward and just went through the locked gate, right through

the lock at the center of the double doors. Well, guess what? Youguessed it, there is no way out! Had to restart and watch all theopening movies again and redo all the battles."

========Dark Forge========This is the only major glitch in the game, and it's a very annoying

one. It seems that if you mess with the Ravens (the birds that turngreen and disappear) outside the Dark Forge, and then enter and


5/26

complete the puzzle, you will have no way to exit the forge. There aretwo solutions to this:

Method 1:Replay the Dark Forge, taking extra care not to disturb the

Ravens on your way into the forge. Complete the puzzle, and youshould be able to use the Dark Reaver to open the door and exit.Doing this will still enable you to view the cut scene betweenVorador and Raziel.

Method 2:Open the door to the Dark Forge, and, while the door is open,

switch to the Spectral Realm and proceed into the forge. Make sureyou get a good, long way away from the open doors before you switchback to the Material Realm. This will cause the game to leave thesedoors open. Solve the Dark Forge puzzle, and then, before exitingthe forge, switch back to the Spectral Realm. This will prevent thedoors from closing when you approach them, and you can exit the DarkForge without any glitches. Completing the Dark Forge in this mannerwill NOT allow you to view the cut scene between Raziel and Vorador.

On a side note, I was told on AIM that if you re-enter the DarkForge, and then exit it using the Dark Reaver after leaving using themethod above, you *will* get the cutscene between Raziel and Vorador. Idon't know if the potential to get stuck in the Dark Forge is stillthere the second time around or not.

Thanks for information regarding this glitch go out to:

Craig - [email protected] Dragon - [email protected]. Faididi - [email protected]

And thanks to everyone else who emailed me that they were havingproblems getting out of the Dark Forge. Without you guys, I would neverhave believed that there was a problem with the game, since I made itthrough glitchfree. Also, if I forgot someone in my list of thank-yous,let me know so I can give you the credit you deserve.

========Fire Forge========

This one comes straight from an email from Aaron Trionfi([email protected]). Thanks a lot for the detailed informationregarding this glitch, as so far no one had been able to tell me whatthe heck they did to enact it!

"...I came across an interesting one (glitch) while completing theJanos Audron puzzle. If you look closely, you can see where the aircurrents will materialze once you complete a level of the puzzle. Withthis in mind, you can actually activate the currents with your AirReaver before they materialize! Although you can't see the wind, youcan still float up to the next level! I did not realize this was aglitch until after I completed the puzzle (an alternate way) only toplace the last key in the wrong side of the last door (the game did notlike this and refused to unlock the door!). I had to start the puzzle

over."

=============F. Walkthrough===================================1: The Time Streaming Device======================

Raziel and Kain are where the first game left off, in the

Chronoplast chamber. Raziel and Kain argue for a while, and then Kainleaps through a time portal and goes into Nosgoth's past, where it isstill undamaged. Raziel follows in pursuit, but Moebius pulls him outof the time stream so that he does not slam headlong into a battle withKain.

============================2: Sarafan Stronghold============================

Moebius describes Kain's plan to confront Raziel at the Pillars

of Nosgoth. Moebius describes Raziel's heritage as a Sarafan Knightbefore Kain resurrected Raziel and the others as his sons. Moebiusforces an alliance between himself and Raziel. Moebius also showsRaziel the power of his staff, which can halt a vampires powers, byforcing the Soul Reaver to disappear, unable to reappear until Razielis out of it's range. Moebius gets Raziel to resume a quest to destroyKain and "embrace your Sarafan heritage."

After the cut scene has ended, proceed to your right, through thelarge double doors. Proceed down the hallway, and defeat the two guards

in it (don't forget to suck in their souls after defeating them). Thiswill cause the gate to rise so you can exit through the door at the endof the hallway.

In the next hallway, defeat the single guard, and exit throughthe door on your right. You cannot exit through the gate at the end ofthe hall yet. In this next room, defeat the single guard and proceedthrough the door directly across from where you entered (the only otherexit).

Raziel looks around the stronghold and sees stained glass

depictions of his heritage as a Sarafan Knight, as well as statues of

the Sarafan Knights.

In this large courtyard area, you must defeat three enemies toraise the gate, which lowered at the end of the cut scene. Proceed tothe gate and shift to the Spectral Plane. Walk forward until Razielpasses through the iron bars. Proceed to the Blue Portal in the middleof this room. Feed on the free souls in this room until Raziel's healthhas fully recovered, then stand on the Blue Portal and shift back tothe Material Plane.


7/26

Away from Moebius' staff, Raziel's Soul Reaver returns, and

Raziel understands how Moebius' crusade against the vampires had beenso successful. With Moebius' great power, vampires would be crippledand powerless, and at his mercy.

In this new room, part of the Cathedral of the Stronghold, thereare seven enemies, which you can slay, though it is not necessary tokill them all. At any rate, proceed through the large iron doorsdirectly in front of where you appeared after the cut scene.

**** WARNING: PLEASE READ "Sarafan Stronghold" IN THEGLITCHES AND PRECAUTIONS SECTION OF THIS FAQ BEFORE PROCEEDING ONWARD!THANK YOU! *****

Raziel finds the chapel in which the tomb of King William the

Just is laid to rest. Moebius got Kain to slay William to start thegenocide against the vampires. Raziel finds the original sword, theSoul Reaver, broken in two but still containing it's soul. Raziel'sSpectral Soul Reaver absorbs the power of the broken blade, and nearly

kills him. Raziel becomes the Soul Reaver's helpless pawn. Razielaccuses Moebius, who suddenly appears, of setting this trap for him.Raziel moves to kill Moebius, but leaves the old man, once again inpursuit of Kain. Raziel can now summon the Soul Reaver at will. Hislife gauge is also much smaller than at the start of the game. If theSoul Reaver is over-used in its new form (there's a second gauge nextto your life gauge, it kind of curves around it), it will begin to feedon Raziel's health.

There is also a cut scene in which Raziel looks at a StainedGlass portrait of the Sarafan Knights killing an ancient vampire, byripping his heart out. The Sarafan protected his heart, known as the"Heart of Darkness". They wanted to make sure the evil power contained

within it would never escape.

Exit through the door on the left side of the room. In thishallway there will be one guard to defeat. Exit through the door at theend of the hall.

Raziel is in a chapel, which is a memorial to himself and his

former Sarafan Knights, before Kain transformed them into his sons, hisLieutenants. Raziel reflects on how righteous he was, and how vile hehas become.

Defeat the enemies in this room to open the gate, which was

lowered at the end of the cut scene. Proceed up the spiral staircasethat is located on the left side of the room, and exit through the dooron the upper level.

This hallway contains no enemies, so just run through it and out thedoor at the other end.

===========================3: The Southern Lake===========================


8/26

Raziel looks at Nosgoth in its original form, before Kain destroyed it.

Jump off of this ledge, and swim to the left, until you reach apiece of land with a set of gears on it. Raziel will illuminate a loopon a post, which are the game's checkpoints. If you're killed in theMaterial World, Raziel will return to the nearest checkpoint. Walk upthe ramp in front of the gears, and activate them. This will open anunderwater passage to your left. Swim through this passage, and headleft until you reach a low piece of land. Raziel will now discover"ancient obelisks". These are the game's save points. Activate them tosave your game. Now, walk back towards the water, turn left, and jumpup onto the raised land. Now, crouch and jump up to the higher piece ofland. Now, run forward and glide across the gap to the next piece ofland.

Now just follow this path, defeating enemies along the way.Eventually you will wade through a small river and activate anothercheckpoint. Turn around, and you will see a staircase to your right.

Proceed up this staircase, fighting the enemies along the way.

Raziel notices how the impaled vampires along his path look more

like oppressed townsfolk than the ruthless hunters of his era, andbecomes disgusted at this persecution.

Upon reaching the gate, defeat the enemies around it, then holdthe switch to remove the bars holding it closed. Now, proceed throughit.

==================4: The Pillars

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

Raziel discovers that Kain was born to be the Balance Guardian of

the Pillars, to replace Ariel, after her assassination. Kain murderedthe rest of the circle to restore balance to their corrupted pillars,but failed to destroy himself and finish the restoration. Kain avoidedthis, as it would annihilate their species, as he was the last vampire.

Kain disappears after the cut scene. Walk behind the pillars toget the next cut scene. Now, shift to the Spectral plane to open up apath directly behind the pillars, and proceed down it. Once you reachthe Blue Portal, shift back to the Material plane. There will be

another cut scene, in which Raziel thinks he is being watched. Now,activate the checkpoint on your right, and proceed onward down the pathin front of you. There will be another cut scene, in which Raziel seesa figure much like himself, painted on a door. Use the Soul Reaver toopen the ancient door.

=============================5: Subterranean Ruins=============================


9/26

Now, enter this newly opened path. The door will close behindyou. Fight the (somewhat hard to see) Shadow Enemies as you follow thispath. You will enter a room, which looks much like the pillars on thesurface, and another cut scene will play out. You will discover theElder God is still present in this world, and will have a nice littlehomecoming with Raziel. Straight ahead of you will be a save point.Now, dive underwater and search for a tunnel with lights on theentrance.

Follow this tunnel, and emerge amongst more of those wonderfulshadow creatures. After killing them, turn around and head up the rampon the left side of the room. Jump to the ledge (there's a small gapbetween the ramp and the next ledge) and proceed down the path.Eventually you will end up at another pool of water. Dive into it, andfollow the underwater cavern that is lit. Proceed on until you find awall that can be climbed (you won't need to climb it since you'reswimming.)

==================6: Swamp

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

When you emerge, you will be treated to another cut scene. Now,proceed forward and activate the checkpoint. There will be a fewenemies here that will need a good slaying, and then you can proceed tothe right by following the "stepping stones." The mud in this area isquite thick so try to fight enemies on dry land. You'll reach a door,which Raziel will kick down. Raziel will then have a small cut scene inwhich Raziel realizes Vorador is the person who is watching him.Proceed down the path that was opened, when Raziel kicked down thedoor. There will be a few enemies here. After defeating them, proceedaround this area until you come to another arch, like the doorwayRaziel went through after knocking down the door. You'll know when

you've found it, as there is a save point located there. Proceed leftfrom the save point, down the wide path, fighting the enemies as yougo. There will be a small cut scene in which Raziel talks about "apassage to the north, which is obstructed and too high for me toreach." To the left of this area, there is a wall, which Raziel canclimb. Head up it, and jump down on the other side of this wall.Proceed down this path, until you reach the ruins on which you sawVorador. There will be a short cut scene. Now, use the Soul Reaver toopen the door in front of Raziel (as you approach the door, you willactivate another checkpoint.)***** WARNING: BEFORE APPROACHING THE DARK FORGE, PLEASE READ SECTION"E: Glitches And Precautions" ABOVE BEFORE APPROACHING THE DARK FORGE.

THANK YOU! *********

===================7: Dark Forge===================

The doors will close behind you, leaving you in an empty hallway.Head down it, and use the Soul Reaver to defeat the guard in front ofthe door. Pick up the shield, which will be floating near you inmidair, and place it on the door to open it. Proceed down the hallway,


10/26

and then shift to the Spectral Plane to pass through the gate blockingyour path. Pass through this room then head right until you find a BluePortal. Shift back to the Material Realm. Head back to the gate thatyou passed through, and climb up the wall on the left side of the room.There will be a short cut scene with Raziel. Head up the stairs, andslay the enemy at the top with the Soul Reaver. Now, glide across theroom to the pillar with the platform on top. Now, Glide across to theplatform with the stairs, in front of the pillar. There will be a shortcut scene, while Raziel looks around this room. The room containsmirrors, which you must turn to open the doors located around it room.

Drop down, and turn the mirror until it opens the room on theright. Go down this hallway, and at the end, Shift to the SpectralPlane to pass through the grate. You should end up in a large room witha tree, holding a platform, in the middle. Locate the Blue Portal andShift back to the Material Realm. Climb one of the Climbing Walls(located at the North and South ends of the room) and Glide out to thisplatform. Now, shift to the Spectral Plane. The room will twist, andthe Platform you are on will rise up, so that you can glide across tothe hallway in front of you. Once across, stand on the Blue Portal, and

Shift back to the Material Plane. Use the Soul Reaver to defeat theguard, and then pick up the shield, which is floating near you. Use itto open the nearby doorway. Proceed down this hall, and then use theSoul Reaver to shoot open the Ceiling, which is over the mirror. Graband Drag the Movable pillar to the center of the room. Then turn themirror to face it. If you did this correctly, there will be a smallcut scene showing the shadow cast by the pillar. Now, jump on top ofthe fallen pillar piece to the right of the mirror. High jump to thetop of the pillar, and glide across to the open passage. There will bea short cut scene. Pick up the small mirror, which is held on theplatform. Now drop down and head out towards the main room. When youapproach the door with the mirror symbol on it, it will now open foryou. Now, head on back to the main mirror room. Walk into the room and

the door will close behind you. Head to the back of the room, and placethe mirror on the holder, which resembles the one you removed it from.

Now, go and turn the large mirror until it opens the room on theleft. It will open a door guarded by a gate on the left side. Shift tothe Spectral Realm, and pass through the gate. Find the Blue Portal,shift back to the Material Realm, and find the Climbing Wall. Climb it,and head back towards the mirror you passed after coming through thegate. Turn the mirror by the gate towards the mirror in the main room(face it forward.) As you approach the ledge, there will be a pillar,which can be moved. Drag it to the center, and it will cast a shadowyou can walk on. Walk out to the center platform, using this shadow.Use the Soul Reaver to shoot a projectile at the glowing spot on the

ceiling in this room (its over the mirror that's on the platform.) Oncethis opens, turn the mirror until a passageway opens. High jump andhead down this passage. Move the sundial to the right until the lightshines down the hole, hitting the small mirror you placed. There willbe a cut scene, and the large blue crystal in the main room will ignitethe Soul Reaver forge. There will be a short cut scene, and Raziel willshove the Soul Reaver forge. You will now posses the Dark Reaver, andyour life gauge will increase.

Now, shove the Dark Reaver into the door behind Raziel, and there


11/26

will be a cut scene where Raziel explains the elemental wells aroundNosgoth. Now, head towards the far back door, and shove the Dark Reaverinto it. Shove the Dark Reaver into the last Soul Reaver door, activatethe checkpoint, and enjoy a cut scene between Raziel and Vorador.

===============8: Swamp===============

Our goal now is to head back to the Southern Lake, at which pointwe will enter the Light Forge. I'll assume you can find your own wayback to the Southern Lake, and I will pick up the guide from thatpoint.

===========================9: Subterranean Ruins===========================

There will be a cut scene between Raziel and the Elder God. Thisis a good hint that you're going the right way, if you're confused on

how to get back to the Southern Lake. This is also a good place to usethe Save Point. Use the Dark Reaver to open the Exit in this Area, andenter:

=================10: The Pillars==================

Activate the Check Point here once again, and proceed on back to:=======================11: Southern Lake=======================

Jump into the lake, and swim back through the passage that youopened earlier, using the giant gears. In between the four waterfalls,there is a small piece of land with a door on it. Use the Dark Reaverto open this door and enter:

====================12: Light Forge====================

As usual, the doors will snap closed behind you, and you'll beleft in a long hallway. Fight your way through this hallway, and Glideout to the altar with the Purple flame in the middle of the large room.

There will be a short cut scene. If you need to recharge the power ofthe Dark Reaver, go to the ground level behind the altar platform, andrecharge it. Now, stand on the Altar and shove the Dark Reaver into theflames. This will activate a dark bridge over to the other side of theroom. Cross the bridge, and then shift to the Spectral Plane to passthrough the gate blocking your path. Activate the Check Point andshift back to the Material Plane. Proceed forward and use the SoulReaver to open the door in front of you. There will be a short cutscene while Raziel looks around the room. This is the main room of theLight Forge. Head to the back of this room, and shift to the Spectral


12/26

Plane. Pass through the Gate blocking your path. Head forward until youcome to a Blue Portal. Shift back to the Material Plane. Head back tothe gate that you passed through just a few seconds ago, now in solidform.

On one side of the room, there will be a mirror, which you canmove by sliding it up or down. Pull the mirror away from the gate sothat it unlocks the set of doors with the Sun on them. Proceed downthis hallway until the gates close, and you have to destroy the enemiesto proceed. You will get a large mirror. Place this mirror on the emptystand in the main room. Go down the hallway by this mirror, and turnthe large mirror until it opens the sun door near it. Go down thishallway until you reach a gate. Shift to the Spectral Plane and passthrough the gate. There will be a short cut scene, which hints at theexit to this area. Climb up the pillars until you are high enough toglide to the exit. Proceed until you reach the Blue Portal, located onthe left side of a long hallway. Shift back to the Material Realm. Headback to the room with the Pillars. Activate the Soul Reaver, andrecharge it with the Dark Reaver power. Now, head back to where theexit you glided to is. The block in the wall between the two staircases

can be dragged. Drag the block out, climb up, and proceed down the longhallway again. Head left at the end, defeat the guards, and plunge theDark Reaver into the Altar. This will create another Dark Bridge. Headacross it, and fight the Guards in the room at the end. Now you havethe second small mirror, now jump down to the room below and place themirror on the holder. Now head back to the main room, and back to wherethe mirror that slid up or down is. Slide the mirror down away fromthe sun door, so it shines on the other mirror. Now, head down thehallway across from the mirror, glide across the gap. Now, use the DarkReaver to open the door. That solves the first part of the Light ForgePuzzle.

Head back to the room with the pillars and now, you can open the

Dark Reaver gate that you had to pass through before. Head back downthe long hallway, past the large mirror, and Glide across the gap, towhere the statue with the Dark Reaver symbol is. Now, use the DarkReaver. There will be a short cut scene with the statue lowering intothe ground. Now, turn the Large Mirror so that it shines onto the SmallMirror on the other side of the gap (there will be a short cut scene tolet you know they're lined up right. Now cross the gap again, and usethe Dark Reaver to open the door that the Small Mirror is shining on.This will cause it to shine on another mirror, and solve another partof the Light Forge puzzle. Head towards the gate in Light Forge Room(the first gate you passed through.) There will be a short cut sceneand the gate will open.

Now, head back up the long hallway to the room where the SentryEye is (where you used the Blue Portal and saw the guy get zapped bythe beam.) Use the Dark Reaver to shoot a projectile into the eye (itslocated over the Sun Symbol, on the Ceiling.) Once the eye rolls back,run forward and grab the sun symbol. Now, the eye will roll back, soget out of its shooting range as quick as possible. If you get zapped,you'll shift back to the Spectral Realm, and will have to shift back tothe Material Realm, and recharge the Dark Reaver in the Pillar Room,and do this all over again. Now, run down the long hallway, with thesun symbol, back to the room with the Light Forge in it. Stand in front


13/26

of the Light Forge, and place the sun symbol on the spot that lookslike a sun. After a short cut scene, you will be in control of Razielagain. Walk forward, and thrust the Soul Reaver into the Light Forge.After another cut scene, you will have the Light Reaver, and a largerhealth gauge. Proceed to the door located behind you, and thrust theLight Reaver into it. It's time to make our way out of the Light Forge,and back to the Southern Lake. Pass through the door you just opened,pass by the Light Reaver recharger, and open the Gate behind it usingthe Light Reaver. Pass through the room with two staircases (the onewith the Dark Reaver Altar which activates the Dark Bridge) and shootthe symbol over the door with the Light Reaver (there is a short cutscene which hints at this.) This will open the doors in front of you.Head down the hallway, and use the Soul Reaver to open the doors infront of you, allowing you to proceed back to:

======================13: Southern Lake======================

Swim back through the underwater passage (you'll need to open it

again, using the gears like before) and make use of the Save Pointbefore entering Moebius' Strong Hold once again. Once you're ready, usethe Light Reaver to shoot at the Pink Orb over the partially submergeddoors. This will open them up and you can enter the Stronghold.

===========================14: Sarafan Stronghold===========================

Swim into the newly opened passageway. At the end of it, therewill be a place to recharge the Light Reaver on the left side, andanother hallway to your right. Head down the hallway to the right, andthere will be a short cut scene showing the doors close behind you.

Head down the hallway, defeating any enemies which you may encounter.Exit through the door at the end of the hall. Now you'll be in a roomwith several enemies. Defeat them all to open the next door. Headthrough this door, and you'll be back in the Cathedral where the SoulReavers merged. Head forward through the large iron gates, for a longcut scene between Kain and Raziel. Head through the door to your left,and down the hallway, until you reach the round room with all themurals on the walls. Find the exit on the right side of the room, andhead down it. You will now be in a room where you need to defeat theenemies to open the exit. Once they are beaten, proceed through theopened exit and into the courtyard you where in at the beginning of thegame. Defeat the enemies here, and head down the hallway in front ofyou. Exit this hallway through the doorway at the end, and you will

find yourself in another room where the exit is locked. Defeat the twoguards and the dog to unlock the exit, and move onward through it. Goleft down this new hall, and out the exit. Go through the large doubledoors, to the left of the Light Reaver recharge point, and enter theroom where the game began.

==================================15: Time Streaming Device=================================


14/26

Use the Light Reaver to shoot the pink orb over the door on the leftside of the room. This will open the door, and cause a cut scenebetween Raziel and Moebius. Raziel will transport himself back in time,and emerge in the Time Streaming Device in the past. Exit through thisroom's only door, and enjoy the cut scene. Raziel will activate acheckpoint, and emerge in a very different version of:

===========================16: Sarafan Stronghold===========================

After defeating the enemies in this room, exit through the large doubledoors, to the south. Proceed forward, destroying enemies as youencounter them. Exit through the twisted bars on the right side of thehallway. The creatures in this version of the Sarafan Stronghold areWraiths, and will exist in both the Spectral and Material Realms, so becareful. Pass through the door at the back of this room, and head downthe short hallway, and into the courtyard. Pass down the hallway onthe opposite side of the courtyard, and through the door in the room atthe end of it. You will find yourself in the round room that had all

the paintings of the Sarafan Warriors on the walls. Head through theNorth exit, and defeat the two large enemies to remove the energy wallblocking your path. Head through the twisted iron bars and you will betreated to a cut scene, where Raziel finds out that he is really inNosgoth's future, instead of the past. Raziel decides he has to explorethe era he is in, since Moebius has left him stranded. Head through thegate to the west, and forward through the great cathedral, and out thedoor in the back, to the West. There will be a cut scene between Razieland Moebius' spirit. After the cut scene, exit through the door to theright, and head on down the hallway. Defeat the three large enemieshere to remove the green barriers blocking your path. Swim back out ofthe stronghold and enter:

==================================17: The Southern Lake==================================

Now would be a very good time to use the save point acrossfrom the entrance to the Sarafan Stronghold. From the save point, headback towards the lake. At the edge of the lake, head left, jump up, andthen high jump to the higher platform. Glide across and follow thepath, fighting the enemies along the way. Eventually you will reach apillar on the right side of the road, which is slanted over a pool. Runup the pillar, and glide across to the ledge. Be sure to activate thecheckpoint on the right side of the stream, the head left, up thestairs. Jump and Glide across the broken bridge and proceed onward down

the path. At the end, open the large double doors, and enter:

===================18: The Pillars===================

There will be a cut scene between Ariel and Raziel. After thecut scene, if you try to proceed forward past the pillars as you didbefore, there will be a huge Wraith, which is not stunned by yourattacks. Be very careful while fighting it, as it can kill you with a


15/26

few hits. After defeating the Wraith, move forward on the path. Therewill be another Wraith, which must be defeated to remove the greenbarrier blocking your path. After destroying it, continue down thepath. When you reach the Blue Portal, shift back to the Material Realm.Move forward and activate the checkpoint on the right side of the path,then continue on forward. At the end of the path, use the Soul Reaverto open the large door that has a large painting of a creature thatresembles Raziel. Move forward through the door, and it will closebehind you. Proceed down the short hallway to enter the:

=============================19: Subterranean Ruins=============================

Follow the path forward, fighting the Shadow creatures using theSoul Reaver. Eventually you will end up at the second set of pillars,where the Elder God resided in the first world. He is still here, andthere will be a cut scene between the Elder God and Raziel. Once thecut scene is over, two large Wraiths will attack you. After defeatingthem, you can use the save point located across from where Raziel

stands. Now, dive into the water where the Elder God is, and locate theunderwater tunnel, marked by the two lamps on either side. Follow it,and jump out when you reach the surface. Follow the path up the ramp toyour right, and jump to the platform at the end of the ramp. Follow theramp and the path as the twist upward, and then move downward. Use theDark Reaver recharge point, and jump into the water surrounding thestatue you see below you. Find the tunnel underwater, marked by twolights on either side of the entrance. Emerge from the water, fight theshadow creature, and then jump back in the water on the other side ofthe platform. Swim until you reach another tunnel in which you canemerge from the water. Jump out and onto the platform. Turn to yourleft, and jump up onto the ledge by the glowing crystal. Now, glideacross the pool of water to the opposite ledge. Follow the short path,

and jump up to another ledge. Now, turn around until you see a ledgewith Purple Flames (a Dark Reaver mark.) Jump and Glide out to thatledge, and then thrust the Dark Reaver into the altar (the hole on thefloor.) This will cause a Dark Bridge to form, so that you can walkacross to the next ledge. At the end of the path in front of you, therewill be a large enemy, which you'll need to defeat to remove the greenwall blocking your path. After removing the green wall, proceed downthe path a little bit, and there will be a climbing wall on the right.Climb up the wall, walk around the edge of the hole you just emergedout of, and enter:

==============20: Swamp

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

Walk forward and activate the checkpoint in front of you. Defeatthe bizarre looking enemies using the Soul Reaver, and walk forward toexamine the door to the Time Streaming Device. There will be a new cutscene, explaining that your new goal is to break the seal, which ispreventing you from using it. Head to the right, and follow the"stepping stones" around, where you will encounter a human enemy.Defeat him, and proceed through the archway. Proceed in a large U shapearound this area, defeating the enemies as you go using the Soul


16/26

Reaver. Pass through another arch, and defeat the enemies here. You maywant to use the Save Point, which is located in this area. Head to theright from the save point, where you will encounter more human enemies.Head down this path, defeating the enemies as you go. Eventually therewill be a small cut scene, which shows that you can now pass throughthe mountains. Move forward, and climb up the wall in front of you.Head down the path cut into the mountains. You'll activate a checkpointas you enter:

=============21: Uschtenheim=============

Jump off the ledge, just past the checkpoint, to the area wherethe waterfall is. Defeat the five enemies here, then head to the leftof the waterfall, and climb the wall. Head down the path directly infront of the large wall, where you will encounter two large enemies,which must be defeated to remove the blue wall blocking your path. Beatthem, and continue down the path (the correct path has rain fallingdown into it.) When you reach the next cavern, defeat the enemies and

either climb up the wall in the back, or run up the ramp to the left.Now, proceed down this path until you reach an archway, which lookslike part of a castle. Use your high jump to jump on top of thearchway. Defeat the two guards, and hold the lever to open the gatebelow. There will be a cut scene in which Raziel enters a smallvillage. Once you regain control of Raziel, there will be a large enemyin front of him. Destroy the enemy and head down the street in front ofyou. Eliminate the enemies as you go, and at the end of the street is asave point, which I suggest you make use of. Head back out from thesave point, and move around the building which the save point is in.There will be a few enemies in this area. After defeating them, headleft through the open gate, and follow the path. Destroy the largeenemy to remove the green wall blocking you, and proceed further down

the path. Drop down, and there will be about seven enemies trying toattack you all at once. Use the Soul Reaver to destroy them quickly.Now, jump up to the ledge on the opposite side of the room, and proceedup the ramp. There will be a large platform across a small gap, wherean enemy is standing. Use your force projectile to knock him off theledge, and then glide over to the ledge. Directly across from thisledge, there is a low ledge (you can reach it from the ground level)where an enemy with a cannon is. Glide, run, walk, whatever over tothis ledge, and defeat him. Then climb up the wall behind where he wasstanding, and head down the path. Defeat the enemies here, whilefollowing the path. Climb up the wall at the end of the path, anddefeat the two large enemies to remove the blue wall that is blockingyour way. Continue along this path, and you will activate a checkpoint,

and another cut scene will play out, involving Raziel and Kain. Headleft from where you're standing, and get on the platform where theLight Reaver recharge is. Head up the platform until you reach a wall,and high jump up to the next platform. Now, head left, defeating theenemies until you reach a climbing wall. Climb up the wall, and twohumans, and two very strong enemies will confront you. After beatingthe enemies, head to the end of the path and climb up the wall. Therewill be a Dark Reaver recharge here, and a few enemies. Head towardsthe door at the end of the path, and you will be confronted by threelarge enemies. After beating them, head up the stair to activate a


17/26

checkpoint, use the Dark Reaver to shoot the Sentry Eye over the door.When the eye rolls back, run forward and use the Dark Reaver to openthe door. Enter, and the door will close behind you. Welcome to the:

=====================22. Air Forge=====================

After the cut scene, head up the stairs to your left or right,and use the Light Reaver recharger behind either wall, to turn the SoulReaver into the Light Reaver. Now, walk out onto the middle platform(the one that juts out into the room.) Stand on the Light Reaver symbolon the floor, and use the Light Reaver to shoot a projectile at thegold, glowing area on the pillar in front of you. After the short cutscene, glide across the gap to the platform directly across from you.Shift to the spectral realm, and pass through the gate. Head down theshort hallway, and to your right. Activate the checkpoint that's nearthe Blue Portal, and then use the Blue Portal to shift back to theMaterial Realm. Head down the hall, and two large enemies willmaterialize, blocking your path with a blue wall. Beat them, and

proceed into the next room. Beat the enemies here to get a Blue AirForge symbol. Pick it up, and use it to unlock the door in front ofyou. You will activate a checkpoint as you walk into the room. You arenow in the main room of the Air Forge. After the short cut scene, dropdown the ledge below, and locate the door with the Soul Reaver symbolon it (if you land all the way at ground level, climb the wall with theSoul Reaver symbol on it, then head down the hallway in front of theclimbing wall and you'll find it.) Use the Soul Reaver to open thedoor, and enter the room beyond it. The door will close behind you.Defeat the enemies here to get the next Blue Air Forge symbol. Use itto open the door at the other end of the room, and proceed down thehallway behind it. There will be a short cut scene to give you an ideaof where you need to go. Shift to the Spectral Realm, and climb up the

block that slid out of the wall when you changed worlds (the block I'mreferring to has a carving of a face on it, with something that lookslike a ball below it. The block is on the left side of the room; don'tuse the right one, unless you already have the Light Reaver.) Use thisblock to get up to the next level of the room. Now, use the blue portalto shift back to the Material Realm. To the right of the portal thereis a Light Reaver Recharge, and to the Left there is a staircase. Inthe middle of the wall on this side of the room, there is a ventblowing air. Stand in front of this while facing the opposite side ofthe room. High jump, and glide to the opposite side of the room. Toyour left is a Dark Reaver recharge, and to your left is a set ofstairs. In front of you is a vent similar to the one that was blowingair on the other side of the room, but this one is closed. Use the

action button to open it, and then use the Dark Reaver recharge. Glideback to the other side of the room using this newly opened vent, andhead up the stairs. Shoot the Sentry Eye with the Dark Reaver, and runpast it, up the stairs, and down a small hallway on the left. There's aPurple Flame altar here. Shove the Dark Reaver into it to activate theDark Bridge. Cross about halfway over the Dark Bridge, and then glidedown to your left (to the side with the Light Reaver Recharge.) Openthe air vent on this side the same way you opened the one on the otherside. Now, glide back across to the Dark Reaver recharge side, and headup the stairs. Use the Light Reaver to open the door. Now head up the


18/26

stairs and to the right, and cross the Dark Bridge. In this darkenedroom, use the Light Reaver to shoot the small, glowing yellow spottowards the ceiling. This will illuminate the room, and cause blood toflow from the mural on the wall. You can now take the Blue Heart fromthe Mural. Head back to the main room, and drop down to the lowestlevel. Head down the path with the two Blue Stones on both sides of theentrance, and place the Blue Heart in the body, which is on top of theBlue Air Altar. This will activate the Blue Wind tunnel. Now, head backto the main room, and climb the wall with the Light Reaver symbol onit. Head down the hall, and defeat the enemy. Now, use the Light Reaverto open the door. Defeat the enemies here to get a Blue Air Forgesymbol, and use it to open the door. Head down the hallway, and climbup either the left or the right side of the structure in front of you.Head out towards the Purple Flame altar, and then shift to the SpectralPlane. High Jump, and glide across towards the right ledge on theopposite side of the room (you can see the Blue Portal over there.) Usethe Blue Portal to shift back to the Material Plane, and then locatethe Dark Reaver recharger. Use this to change the Soul Reaver to theDark Reaver. Glide back to the other side of the room (or jump down,and climb back up) and use the Dark Reaver to activate the Dark Bridge.

Now, use the Light Reaver recharge right behind you to change the DarkReaver to the Light Reaver, and head across the bridge. There are somepillars near the front of this platform, which you can high jump up, toget up to a higher part of the blowing air. Turn around until you facethe exit which was in the cut scene (you can spot it easily, it's adark room with a gold ball glowing towards the top of it), and high

jump and glide across to the room. Use the Light Reaver to shoot theglowing gold spot. Walk forward after the cut scene and take the GreenHeart. Head back to the main room once again, drop down to the lowestfloor, and head down the tunnel with the Green Gems on both sides ofit. Head up the Green Altar and place the heart into the body. Now, theGreen Wind tunnel will be active. Now, head back to the main room, usethe Dark Reaver recharge, and climb up the wall with the Dark Reaver

symbol on it. Head down the hallway, defeat the enemy, and use the DarkReaver to open the door. Defeat the enemies in this room to get a BlueAir Forge symbol, and use it to open the door in the back. Climb up thewall, either on the left or the right, and jump over it (this willallow you to avoid the Sentry Eye, which is located on the other sideof the open doorway directly in front of you.) Head over to the leftside, hop up, and shove the Dark Reaver into the Purple Flame altar inthe ground. Run across the Dark Bridge quickly, as it only lasts for alimited time. At the end of the bridge will be a block in the wall,which you can pull out. Pull it out, and, when the Dark Bridge fades,it will fall down. Move the block until it is against the front wall ofthe room, in the center (opposite the Sentry Eye.) If you have a hardtime finding this place, look around for a Dark Reaver symbol on a

gate, which is just above your head. You need to use the block assomething to stand on to open this gate. Once you've found it, use theDark Reaver to open the gate. Stand in front of the Light Reaverrecharge located inside the gate, and use the Dark Reaver to blind theSentry Eye. Now, quickly, use the Light Reaver recharge located insideto change the Dark Reaver to the Light Reaver. Now, run as quickly aspossible past the Sentry Eye. Head either left or right, and climb backup the pillars of this wall. Stand so that you are in front of theblowing air, facing the exit, which the cut scene showed you (it's adark room at the top of the area, with a small yellow glowing dot in


19/26

it.) High jump and glide across to the room. Use the Light Reaver toshot the small yellow glowing orb. Grab the Orange heart, and run backout of the room past the Sentry Eye (there will be a cut scene showingthe eye roll up, so you know it's safe to run past it.) Head back tothe main room, drop down, and head down the hallway with the OrangeGems on either side of the entrance. Head up the Orange Altar, andplace the orange heart into the body. After a short cut scene, theOrange Wind tunnel will be active. Head back to the main room, and jumpand glide. Hold glide and the wind tunnel currents will carry you backup top. Land on the giant, open-mouthed snake, and look around. Youwill see to statues on the walls. One with a yellow orb in it's mouth,the other with a purple. If you have the Light Reaver, use it to shootthe yellow orb first. If you have the Dark Reaver, shoot the purple orbfirst. Then, drop down to the bottom floor, and change Reavers. Glideback up to the top, and shoot the remaining orb. The Air Forge will nowbe active after a short cut scene. Step forward and plunge the SoulReaver into the forge, and gain the Air Reaver, along with a largerlife gauge. Proceed towards the door that closed during the cut scene(it's directly behind Raziel.) Notice the large circle on the ground,surrounded by three smaller circles? These are the air altars. Plunge

the Air Reaver into the center of it, to activate an updraft. Glideupward, and you'll find a round pipe over the door. Land on the pipe,and walk through it. Drop down on the other side. Head down the hallwayto activate the next checkpoint. When you reach the door that iscracked, use the Air Reaver to fire a projectile at it to destroy it.Pass through the opened doorway, and head back down to the lower levelin this area. Use the Soul Reaver to open the Soul Reaver door that isin front of you.

======================23: Uschtenheim======================

You're now back in Uschtenheim. On your way back through Uschtenheim,you'll encounter a closed gate while trying to reenter the city. Justhigh jump up on top of the wall, defeat the guards, and hold the leverto open it. It's also a good idea to use the save point here, sinceyou've done so much and haven't been able to save lately. Head towardsthe gate that you originally entered Uschtenheim through. Hold thelever on the left side of the gate to open it. You need to head back tothe Time Stream Device in the Swamp, so head back to the Swamp, andI'll pick the guide back up there.

===================24. Swamp===================

Upon entering the Swamp again, you'll activate a checkpoint.Proceed forward on the path until you reach save point, which you canuse if you need to. Just past that will be an archway, which you shouldpass through, then head in a large U-shape, until you reach the secondarchway. Pass through this, and follow the path until you activate thenext checkpoint. To the right of the checkpoint will be the TimeStreaming Device's door (near the edge of the room.) Use the Air Reaverto fire a projectile at the door, which will destroy it. Proceedthrough this newly opened pathway until you reach an Air Reaver altarin the floor. Plunge the Air Reaver into the altar to activate it,


20/26

causing an updraft to occur. Use the updraft to glide high up into theroom, and over the pit located in front of the altar. Follow thecircular path until you reach another set of doors, which will slideopen when you approach them. Walk through these doors, and you will bein the:

==================================25. Time Streaming Device==================================

Walk up to the purple orb, which is the Time Streaming Device.Press the action button to activate it, and a cut scene will play out.Raziel emerges in an unknown era. Head out the doors behind you,activate the checkpoint, and follow the circular path around to theexit. Jump down, and then use the climbing wall in front of you toreach the ledge. Exit through the doors in front of you, and, after acut scene, you will be back in:

===================26. The Swamp===================

Head back towards Uschtenheim through the swamp (basically, headback the way you came, before you used the Time Streaming Device.) Usethe save point if you need to. After passing by the Save Point, therewill be a cut scene with Raziel. After the cut scene, head righttowards the wall. Locate the Air Reaver altar on the ground, and plungethe Air Reaver into it. Use the updraft to glide up to the ledge, andgo through the opening in the wall. Follow the path, activating acheckpoint as you pass it. A little past the checkpoint, you willwitness a cut scene in which Raziel sees the Sarafan Warriors. Use theSoul Reaver to destroy them, then use the climbing wall towards theright side of the room to make your way up the next path. There will beSarafan Warriors here too. Head down the path, destroying the SarafanWarriors as you go. In this next large room, there will be three

enemies that shoot magic, and three with weapons. Use the Soul Reaverto destroy the ones using magic first. Now you can easily use yourhands or a weapon to destroy the others. Either head up the path to theleft, or climb the climbing wall in the back of the room, and followthe path along to the gates of:

=====================27. Uschtenheim=====================

High jump on top of the archway in front of you, defeat theguard, then hold the lever to open the gate below. Enter through thegate, and there will be a short cut scene of Uschtenheim. Now, proceedto the opposite end of the city, towards the back gate. If you need to,

use the Save Point in the middle of the city. When you reach the gate,hold the lever to raise it. Follow the path until you reach a largeround room with four enemies. After defeating them, high jump up to thelow ledge on the northwest side of the room, and climb the wall behindit. Follow the path, and then climb the wall at the end of it. Followthis path, activate the save point, and watch the cut scene at the edgeof Janos Audron's mountain retreat. Jump down onto the frozen lake,and shift to the Spectral Realm. Jump down through one of the holes inthe ice, and head North until you find a tunnel under the "water." Jumpup in it, and shift to the Material Plane using the Blue Portal located


21/26

inside it. Swim to the end of the tunnel, head upward; hop out of thewater and into:

=================================28. Janos Audron's Retreat=================================

Head to the center of this area. Look around and you will noticea Sentry Eye guarding something, directly in front of you. Avoid it andhead left to activate the checkpoint. Run up the ramp, and follow thepath around. Move out to the platform in the center of the room, andthen glide across to the platform where the Air Reaver recharge is.Recharge the Air Reaver, and glide back across to the center platform.Head straight, and follow the snow-covered path. At the end of thepath, use the Air Reaver to shoot a projectile to destroy the crackedwall in front of you. Drop down onto the frozen lake, and head left.Jump up onto the ledge, use the Soul Reaver to defeat the two SarafanWarriors here, and then use the Air Reaver to activate the Air ReaverAltar located on the ground at one end of the ledge. Glide up to thenext platform, defeat the Sarafan Warrior, and use the Dark Reaverrecharger. Now, glide back down to the frozen lake, and re=enter the

passageway you had just emerged from. Head back to the center of theroom, and shoot the Sentry Eye with the Dark Reaver. Run forward andgrab the urn. Now return to the center of the room. Use the urn toscoop some blood out of the pool in the middle of the room. Now, goback up the ramp, and follow the path to the center of the upper level.Pour the blood from the urn into the pool located here. After a shortcut scene, a ramp will appear in front of you. Follow this path untilthe next cut scene plays. Head down the ramp, and use the Light Reaverrecharger. Now move up the ramp next to the recharger, and head to yourright. Turn, and face the gap. Jump and glide over to the platformacross from you. Now, move out of this platform, towards a door with aface and a red circle on it. Turn to face left, and look around untilyou see two pink icons suspended on chains. Move around until you line

them up, and shoot at them with the Light Reaver. Assuming you havethem lined up correctly, you will see a short cut scene, and the bridgewill drop down. Now, head back to that side of the room, cross thebridge, and defeat the enemy to get the Red Shield. Use it on the door.Now, head back across the bridge, and turn right at the firstintersection. Locate an urn near the wall, pick it up, and fill it withblood at the nearby pool. Now, head back across the bridge, through thedoorway you opened with the Red Shield. Head straight, and use the urnto fill the empty pool. After the cut scene, head left and use the AirReaver recharge. Now head back to the pool you just filled, and go upthe stairs in front of it. Use the Air Reaver to unblock the path,where the cracked wall is. Continue down the path, and use the AirReaver to break the next wall. Now, drop back down to the bottom level,

activate the Air Reaver altar on the floor, and use the Light Reaverrecharge. Use the Air Altar's updraft to head back up, and head throughthe first door you broke open. Locate the metal fence in this area, andstand to the left of it. From this position, locate the two pink orbs,on chains (like the ones you shot earlier.) Line them up and shoot themwith the Light Reaver to activate the next bridge. Across this bridgeis another empty pool, so take an urn and head back down to the lastblood pool you filled up. Fill up the urn, and head back up, across thebridge, and fill this blood pool up. After the cut scene, head acrossthe new bridge and use the Dark Reaver recharge. Head back, past the


22/26

blood pool, and across the bridge, to the intersection. Turn right, andshoot the Sentry Eye with the Dark Reaver. Run past it, defeat theenemy, grab the Red Shield, and quickly run back before the Sentry Eyerolls over. If the eye does roll over, just jump down to the groundlevel before it has a chance to shoot you. In any case, head back tothe sealed Red Door (it's on the second level, to the right, before theSentry Eye.) Use the Red Shield to unseal the door. In this room therewill be another empty blood pool, so, head back, find an urn, fill itwith blood at the last pool you filled, bring it back here, and fillthis pool with blood. Now, head back down to the Air Reaver recharge.Use it, and activate the nearby Air Reaver altar. Use the updraft toget back up to the 2nd level (you'll land right by the blood pool you

just filled.) Now, walk up the stairs, and door right. Walk forward alittle bit, and turn right (it's a gap between two "doors" on the innerwall.) Look around and you'll see a gold disc with the Air Reaversymbol on it. Use the Air Reaver to destroy this disc. Now, drop downto the ground level and use the Light Reaver recharge. Use the AirReaver altars to head back up to the top level, and shoot the two pinkorbs that were behind the gold Air Reaver disc (don't forget to linethe orbs up, or they won't lower the bridge!) Now, turn left and head

farther down this hall until you encounter a door with a Red Shield onit. Turn right, walk forward a bit, and turn left. There is ahalf=bridge here. A piece of walkway on either side sticks out, with agap in the middle. High jump, and glide across this. Head left, anddefeat the enemy with the Red Shield. Now, head left again towards theRed Shield door, and use the Red Shield to open it. Now, turn aroundand head back through the room where you fought the Red Shield enemy.Head straight down this hall, and turn right just past where you glidedacross. You'll notice two pink orbs suspended, one of them is swinging.Use the Light Reaver to shoot these. Time the shot so that they'relined up, and you'll drop the final bridge down. Now, head back to thearea where you walked up the stairs to the third level. Head down theother hallway, and you'll encounter another Red Door. Face left, and

glide to the ledge on the other side of the door. Fight the enemy hereto get another Red Shield. Note that there is an empty blood pool atthe end of this room. Turn around, and use the Red Shield to open thedoor. Now, find an urn, fill it with blood from the last blood fountainyou filled, and fill the empty fountain. Now, find another urn, fill itwith blood from the pool you just filled, and head across the bridgethat just formed. Follow the path until you reach the next empty pool.Head up the newly formed stairs, and use the Light Reaver to open thedoor. There will be a long cut scene between Raziel and Janos Audron.You will now be in the:

=================29. Fire Forge

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

**** WARNING PLEASE READ "Fire Forge" IN THE GLITCHES ANDPRECAUTIONS SECTION OF THIS FAQ BEFORE STARTING THE FIRE FORGE PUZZLE!THANK YOU! ****

Drop down, and locate the torch located at the back of the room.Pick up the torch, and ignite it on the open flame nearby. The roomwill begin to fill with blood. Floating platforms will begin to rise upfrom the ground. Glide across to each platform, until you reach the


23/26

cauldron with the wood in it. Ignite it, and the Light Reaver rechargeand three Air Reaver altars will emerge. Swim across to it and use it.Now, use the Light Reaver to shoot the large, pink crystal on theceiling. This will drain the blood. Drop down, and use the Air Reaverrecharge on the ground, before the blood drains back into the room.Now, when the room refills, pick any of the three Air Reaver altars,and thrust the Air Reaver into it (the best choice is the one farthestfrom the flame you lit.) After a cut scene, there will be three pillarswith updrafts on them, at different heights. Use them to glide up tothe next fire pot, and pick up a torch on the left or right side of it.Now, glide back down on the air streams (if you touch the blood at anytime, you will lose the torch.) Ignite the torch on the flame at theend of the pillars, and glide back up. Now, ignite the fire pot. Now,if you want, you can swim all the way across the room. You can nowreach the Fire Forge, but it's not yet active. To the right side of theFire Forge is a save point, I suggest you use it since it's been awhilesince you've been able to save. At any rate, head to the opposite sideof the room (the end with the fire pot), and make sure you have theLight Reaver. Shoot the large pink crystal in the ceiling to drain theblood, and then quickly grab a torch and ignite it. Use the updrafts to

glide all the way across the room, and land in front of the Fire Forge.Walk up to the center of the Fire Forge (a raised, round circle) anduse the lit torch to ignite it. This will activate the Fire Forge.Plunge the Soul Reaver into the Forge, and, after a cut scene, you'llhave the Fire Reaver, and an even larger health gauge. If you have notyet saved, do so now. Now, head down the hallway to the left of theFire Forge, and use the Fire Reaver to open the door. There will be acut scene in which you will see the Heart of Darkness ripped from JanosAudron, and Raziel will see his human self, which will in turn see hisSoul Reaver form. You are now back in:

=================================30. Uschtenheim
