Hints & Tips

Bring weapons through gates
Drop (do not throw) any weapon next to a gate until you cannot pick it up from that side any more. Shift to the Spectral Realm and go through the gate. Shift back to the Physical Realm and return to your weapon and pick it up.

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

Fun with humans
For those of you who feel the need to release your wrath upon your innocent human friends, go ahead and kill them with glyphs. The other humans will not recognize that you are responsible. Try the force, stone, and fire glyphs. You can do fun things like sailing a worshipping human against the wall, killing him, and watching as he proceeds to slide into the water only to die once again.

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

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

Beating Dumah
Pull the three stakes out of him to return him back to life. Draw him into the furnace room slowly if you move too quickly, he will go back to his room and you will have to start again. Turn on the gas and hit the switch after he is in the furnace room to fry him.

Beating Kain (first time)
Simply wait for him to materialize and strike him. He will appear behind you 90% of the time. You will attain Soul Reaver after he is beaten.

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

The Final Lieutenant
The Soul Reaver developers claimed that they did not have the time to implement every section of the game. Apparently Raziel's last brother, Turel, was left out.

Beating Zephon
Bring a torch with you to the battle with Zephon. Run up to his belly, and swipe the torch at the hole for a little damage. He will strike with his leg, and get it stuck in his belly. Strike the leg. He will be seriously damaged. Strike the egg hole to cause more damage. Any time he gets a leg stuck in the ground, strike it with the torch, then strike his egg sack to rapidly kill him. This is easier than the "correct" method. After beating him, you will gain the skill to scale walls.

Beating Rahab
You must go into the chamber in the spectral realm. Go to the top pillar where the portal is positioned and materialize. After a brief exchange of words, your only task is to shoot out the windows lining the room to let in the sunlight. Use the force blast you do not need Soul Reaver, so do not worry about taking hits. After he dies, you will attain the swimming ability.

Use of the Constrict ability
First, you must have a circular area around the target. An example is: Presume that the target is a Dumahim vampire (the most common in Nosgoth). 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 allowing plenty of time for you to finish the it. The Constrict ability has odd effects on humans. They are listed below.

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 complete, allowing you to stop and feed on their soul.

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

The Constrict ability is needed to finish the puzzle in the Chrono-chamber. Also, make sure to go back to areas of Nosgoth you have visited prior to gaining that ability. You will find that Constrict can be used on many things, and may open up useful secrets (such as Eldritch artifacts, Glyphs, and life force pieces). Constrict does not work on Kain and will not work underwater.
