Hints & Tips

Do not attack humans
You will come across your first human in Malchia's domain. He is a vampire hunter garbed in silver armor, shoots silver stakes from a bow, and will be hostile. Leave him alone and go on to fight the zombie-like vampire. Leave after killing it, and do not return to the human. The next human you come across, found in the gear room, should fall to his knees and hold out his arms. The humans now consider you an avenging angel. Do not attack them, or they will turn on you. Warning: Vampire Worshippers are garbed in red and gold. They wield throwing knives and staffs and will attack. You may kill them since they are evil. Be sure to check your human targets. You will now be able to roam through the human stronghold.

Beating Rahab
You need to enter the chamber in the spectral realm. Go to the top pillar where the portal is at and materialize. After a short exchange of words, your task is to shoot out the windows lining the room to let in the sunlight. Use the force blastyou will not need Soul Reaver, so do not worry about taking hits. After he dies, you will have the swimming ability.

Beating Kain (first time)
Wait for him to materialize and hit him. He will appear behind you most of the time. You will get Soul Reaver after he is dead.

Beating Kain (final time)
Wait for him to materialize and hit him. You will need soul reaver to do damage. The spirit forge in the center of the arena automatically fills your health. Run over to it to do this. When you strike him the first time, he appears on the second tier, again behind you. Finally, when you hit him on the second tier, he will materialize on the third and highest tier, again behind you. Quickly hit him a third time to beat him.

Beating Malchia
To beat the Malchia, lure him under one of the two spike gates and release them when he is slithering under it. Redo this on the other side of the room. After that, lure him into the center cage, jump out, run to where Malchia started from, and roll the lever. This will cause the large spikes on the ceiling to come down on top of him.

Beating Dumah
Just pull the three stakes out of him to bring him back to life. Now lure him into the furnace room slowly if you move too fast, he will return to his room and you will have to start over. Turn on the gas and hit the switch after he is in the furnace room to cook him.

Beating Zephon
Bring a torch with you to the fight with Zephon. Run up to his belly, and swipe the torch at the hole for some damage. He will attack with his leg, and get it stuck in his belly. Then strike the leg. He will be heavily hurt. Strike the egg hole to cause more harm. Any time he gets a leg stuck in the ground, hit it with the torch, then hit his egg sack to kill him. This is easier than the "correct" method. After beating him, you will gain the ability to scale walls.

After the intermission sequence, run towards Zephon and get him to stab at you with his legs. When they are stuck, attack them. They will shatter and the battle will be alot easier. Hit him in the sack to get him to spit out an egg. Pick it up and run over to the half-man with the flamethrower. Light the egg on fire. The egg will start to make a creaking sound. The faster the sound, the closer the egg is to exploding. Time the throw so that the egg explodes as it hits him. Repeat this until Zephon is beaten.

Use of the Constrict ability
You must have a circular area around the target. For example: Assume that the target is a Dumahim vampire. Now, without using autoface, run a circle around the vampire until Raziel is followed by a trace of blue energy. This energy, once fully invoked, will "constrict" the vampire, causing it to be momentarily stunned and allow time for you to finish the it off. The Constrict ability has odd effects on humans. They are as follows:

1. Certain humans, once you start the Constrict ability, will act as though they plummeted into water. If you do not finish the ability, they will "drown".

2. The human will get stunned when Constrict is half finished, allowing you to stop and feed on their soul.

3. The most common and normal result is that the human will instantaneously die.

The Constrict ability is needed to finish the puzzle in the Chrono-chamber. Also, be sure to return to areas of Nosgoth you have already visited prior to gaining that ability. You will find that Constrict can be used on several things, and may open up useful secrets. Constrict does not work on Kain and will not work underwater.

Force Glyph
When you reach Melchia's clan area you can obtain your first Glyph When you have made it through the cemetery you will reach a cave with a block in it. Move the block and put it against the short wall. Note: Use first person view to find it. Now jump on the block, then onto the ledge. Continue through the passage to reach another cemetery. Move through this at top speed and do not bother with the Melchahim Vampires to come to a fortress. Go up any of the ramps and follow the short passageway. You will then be in a room in which you will see two Skinners. You can either kill them or leave them alone. In this room, search for a metal gate. When found, go through it. Go down the spiral staircase to a warp room. Save your game at this point. Once you have activated the Teleporter, run to the other end of the warp room and exit through the door. Then, run forward toward the lake and stop by it. Look around to find a wall that you can soon climb. After noting the spot of the scaleable wall, shift to spectral and jump down into the lake. Kill or avoid the enemies down here, then look around again to find two passageways. Look for a passageway that has a strange blue glow coming from it. Go into this passageway and follow the path. Kill the loner ahead, then continue. You will now be in a large room with two or three of the Soul Reaver's undead friends inside. Kill them, then look for a large gate. There are two of them. Once you have found the right gate, phase through it using Melchia's skill then go up the passageway. Follow it, and it will lead you to a room with three thin pillar-like statues. Go behind each of them and push it. Once you have pushed all three of them down, an intermission sequence will show Raziel absorbing the Glyph and The Elder God giving him information about Glyphs. Note: When you run out of Glyph power, retrace your steps to any Glyph shrine you have found then run into the glowing energy mist to recharge. You can also return to the Pillars of Nosgoth and recharge there or from the scattered Glyph energy refills around Nosgoth.

Easy health refill
Go into the spectral realm and gather up souls. If there are no souls, then fight slaugh and wraiths. When filled, use a portal to re-enter the material realm and you will find that you now have full health. Also, if Soul Reaver has already been obtained, you will have it back also.

Glyph enhancement
When you have Dumah's Constrict ability, go to Raziel's former clan. When there, go through the wooden door to your left, and follow the passage. Do not go into the water. When you have followed the passage all the way, you will coome to a silo-like building. Climb up to the top of the building using the stairs. You will see a small gold object sticking out the ground. Run around this counter-clockwise twice. Stop when you see that the gold object has turned. You should notice the ramp you lowered earlier in the game has risen up again. Go to the switch on the wall and flip it. Another ramp will lower. Go up this ramp, killing the Dumahim Vampire as you go. In time, you will see a Glyph refill. Go back out to the gold object in the ground and again run around counter-clockwise. Stop when you see it turn. Then again, return to the switch on the wall and flip it again. A new ramp will now be lowered. Go up this ramp, again slaying the vampire as you go. You will now be in a large room, with another block puzzle. Stack all three blocks on top of each other and jump onto the high crevice ahead. Once you have finished the puzzle, you can grab the Glyph enhancement. You can also collect another item. To get it, return to the gold object and run around it counter-clockwise then flip the switch. Run up the ramp, kill the Dumahim Vampire, then go into the room to collect the item.

After you kill Morlock and Rahab, go to Morlock's chamber where you battled him. Go through the hole in the wall that was made earlier with your new skill. Retrace your steps to where the large ghost ship is at, just before entering the Flooded Abbey. Jump onto the boat and run up to the top north part of the ship. Look where the large, pointy object is pointing. Dive into the water, being careful of the Rahabim Vampires, and swim that way. In time, you should see a tunnel under the water. Swim through it and follow the passage. Dodge the miffed vampires as you go. You will now be in a large room. Be careful in here. Swim to the other end of the room, then to the top. You should see the Glyph enhancement. Collect it, then leave the room through the passageway you swam through. Then, jump back on the boat. You may have also seen another cave in the water.
