This has always been one of my favorite games (Next to Final Fantasy 3
and the original Resident Evil). This game has a really good story line
(as good as you can get with a Vampire for a lead character) and has in
my opinion a fairly good replay value. The You are Kain, a once Nobleman
who is killed by peasants just outside of his hometown of Coorhagen
after leaving a Tavern. Kain is given a chance for vengance- which he
foolishly accepts. Once you slay your murderers, you realize your
journey is far from over.......

2) Characters
*Kain- Kain is an once Nobleman who is killed by peasants just outside
of his hometown of Coorhagen after leaving a Tavern. Kain is given a
chance for vengance- which he foolishly accepts. Once you slay your
murderers, you realize your journey is far from over.......
*Arial- The Lover of Nupraptor and your guide through Blood Omen: Legacy
of Kain.
*Nupraptor- Guardian of the Pillar of the Mind and Arial's lover. He
goes mad following the murder of Arial and spreads pain and misery among
the Circl of Nine and is crumbling the foundation of Nosgoth.
*Malek- Guardian of the Pilla of Conflict and protector of the Circle of
Nine. He has only been defeated once- he fell to the Vampire Vorador.
Malek is the last of the once great Serafin Sorceror Priests- a group of
Warriors that carried out a Holy War to cleanse the land of the feared
Vampires. Malek fails to protect the Circle and Mortanius damns him-
fusing his soul to a hellish set of magical armor and is no longer
human. In this wretched form he is to serve the remaining Circle for
eternity. Since is damnation he has allowed no member of the Circle to
fall again.
*Dejoule- Guardian of the Pillar of Energy. This member of the Circle
of Nine can usually be found with Bane. Together they created a place
called Dark Eden. In and around Dark Eden the creatures are mutated,
misshapen- bizare... When you first meet Dejoule, Malek is protecting
her from you.
*Bane- Guardian of the Pillar of Nature. Bane can usually be found
travelling with Dejoule. Both can be found in Dark Eden. When you
first see Bane, Malek is protecting him from you.
*Azimuth- Guardian of the Pillar of Dimension. She can be found in the
Cathedral in Azimuth.
*Mobius- Guardian of the Pillar of Time. He can be found at the
Stronghold of Willam The Just.
*Anarcrothe- Guardian of the Pillar of States. He can be found at the
Pillars at the end of the game. You don't have to do him in, Mortanius
does it for you. His scales can restore the Pillar of States.
*Mortanius- Guardian of the Pillar of Death. In the beginning of the
game it is he who curses Malek and fuses him to his armor. It is also
Mortanius that gives you the chance for vengance that you seek. Much
much later on, you discover it is also he that is behind the corruption
of the Pillars of Nosgoth. The Dark Entity is his alter ego.
*Vorador- A powerful Vampire- and the only being to ever defeat Malek.
He also personally slaughtered Six of the members of the Circle of Nine
for supporting the Serafan Holy War. He offers you some advise- and
gives you his ring to summon him. He tells you not to meddle in the
affairs of man. His philosophy is that Vampires are Gods- the dreams of
mortals are prayers to them begging for power and that mortals offer
their blood so that Vampires may enjoy their gifts.
*Elzevir The Dollmaker- Elzevir enters a contest given by King Otmar for
his daughter's birthday. The one who could make the best doll would be
granted one wish. Elzevir won and he has what seemed to be a simple
request- a lock of the Princesses' hair. Soon after, the Princess
lapses into a deep slumber. Using the doll and the lock of her hair,
Elzevir had taken her sould and placed it into the doll.
*King Otmar- The King gives a contest for his daughter's birthday. The
one who makes the finest doll would have a wish granted by the King.
Elzevir the Dollmaker eventually wins and his request seems simple- a
lock of the Princesses' hair. Soon after his request is granted, the
Princess lapses into a deep slumber. The King becomes tortured, and is
really not running the Kingdom, and the Army of the Nemesis is
approaching.

4) Tough Spots
No area in this game are too gough- not enough to warrant a full blown
step by step
5) Spells
*Blood Gout- Found in the Blood Gout Dungeon, Termogent Forest. This
spell automatically drains the blood of the target.
*Blood Shower- Found in Vorador's Mansion. Drains all enemies in the
range of the spell- but take care in using this spell, it can also drain
poisoned blood.
*Control Mind- Found in the Control Mind Dungeon, Termogent Forest. This
spell allows Kain to posess the mind of the target. He ramains in
control until the body of the target dies or Kain unposesses the target.
*Energy Bolt- Found in the Energy Bolt Shrine. This spell hurls a bolt
of energy at enemies and certain objects.
*Incapacitate- Found in the Caves leading to the Oracle. This spell
stops an enemy and forces them to stay still.
*Inspire Hate- Found in the 2nd Coorhagen Tunnel. This spell causes
enemies to attack eachother rather than Kain.
*Light- Found in the Light Shrine. This spell created artificial light
to see in dark places.
*Lightning- Found in the Lightning Cave- Full Moon. This spell attacks
the target with bolts of lightining.
*Repel- Found in the Town of Coorhagen. This spells creates a shield
around Kain. It reflects magic and he cannot be attacked physically.
But, it does only last for a short time, and will not protect from
spikes you might walk over on the floor.
*Sanctuary- Found in Kain's Mausoleum. This spell returns Kain to his
Crypt.
*Spirit Death- Found in Dark Eden. This spell causes instant death to
all enemies with the exception of Bosses.
*Spirit Wrack- Found in the Spirit Wrack Cave on the way to Willendorf.
This spell allows Kain to control ANY enemy- except bosses of course.
*Stun- Found in the Cave of Bandits. This spell stuns your target so
Kain can easily feast on their blood.
6) Forms That Kain Can Change Into
*Bat- Found to the NW of the Energy Bolt Dungeon. Once you get this
form you can change yourself into a bat and fly to different places in
Nosgoth. There are Bat beacons that you must activate (they look
similar to save points, but these are green instead), and once you get
to certain points, you can fly to bosses lairs, or to towns!
*Beguile- Found in the Illusion Dungeon on the way to Willendorf. This
is an inmprovement to the original Disguise you pick up in the Gypsy
Camp earlier in the game. This one makes you appear as a Nobleman to
townspeople. But if you attack anyone or attempt to feed, you revert
back to your Vampire form.
*Disguise- Found at the Gypsy Camp. This Disguise allows you to speak
to townspeople. And it is nice to appear as one of them because they
talk to you and won't attack you. But, if you attampt to attack anyone
or try to feed, you will revert back to your Vampire form.
*Mist- Found in the Mist Dungeon, Termogent Forest. This form will
allow you to walk through certain walls and doors that are unpassable in
your Vampire form. You can also walk on water with no damage. But
physical attacks will still harm you.
*Vampire- This is Kain's natural form.
*Wolf- Found in the Wolf Dungeon near the Light Dungeon. This form
allows Kain to morph into a wolf and jump on ledges (up or down) where
the Vampire form of Kain cannot go.
7) Armor List
*Bone Armor- Found In Coohagen Tunnel #1. This is a weak piece of
armor, but is does have one small advantage... lesser forms of the
undead (Skeletons and such) will not attack you as quickly while wearing
this.
*Chaos Armor- Found In Vorador's Mansion. While wearing this armor,
enemies attacking you, might recieve a blow in return.
*Flesh Armor- This armor has no real protection from attacks. It does,
however automatically drain the monster you slay. The only drawback to
that is that it sometimes drains poisonus blood!
*Iron Armor- This is the armor you begin the game with. It will give
you the most overall protection from physical attacks.
*Wraith Armor- Found in Avernus' Cathedral. This is the strongest armor
in the game with one drawback... It is only at is strongest at night-
during the game is pretty much useless.
8) Weapon List
*Axes (Havoc And Malice)- Found in Malek's Bastion. The axes are
strong but have one very serious drawback if you are a fan of using
magic and items like I am... You can't cast spells or use items while
equipping the axes.
*Flame Sword- Found in the Flame Sword Dungeon. This sword is strong
(well, stronger than the sword you begin the game with) but also has a
drawback (what doesn't?). The drawback is that it burns your enemies,
so feeding is not possible.
*Iron Sword- This is the sword you begin the game with. It is a good
all around weapon, but there are better- once an upgrade becomes
available use something else.
*Spiked Mace- Found in Nupraptor's Retreat. This weapon is good for
stunning an enemy (But if you hit them again sfter you stun them and
they are still alive, they come out of the stun). Stunning an enemy
makes it very easy to feed. This is also used to break down barriers.
*Soul Reaver- Found in Avernus' Cathedral. This is hands down the
strongest weapon in the game. But, is has its drawbacks (I bet you saw
that one coming!). This is a two-handed weapon- you can't cast spells
or use items. This weapon also consumes magic!
9) Item List
Common items like Anti-Toxin, Energy Bank, Flay, Font Of Putrescense,
Heart Of Darkness, Implode, Pentalich Of Tarot, and Slow Time can be
found all over Nosgoth.
*Anti-Toxin- Cures poison from Green Blood.
*Elzevir The Dollmaker's Doll- Houses the soul of King Otmar's Daughter.
*Energy Bank- Gives Kain access to massive amounts of magical energy,
but once its effects wear off, Kain has not even a drop of magical
energy left.
*Flay- This attacks an enemy and shears the flesh from it's bones.
*Font Of Putrescense- This item melts the intended target and anything
else that touches the pool the victim leaves behing will also melt.
*Heart Of Darkness- This item will ressurect Kain if he falls in battle.
Also if used before Kain's demise, it will give him more blood than he
would gain using it after he dies.
*Implode- Hense the name- it causes the target to implode on contact.
*Pentalich Of Tarot- This item will cause a random death to the intended
targets.
*Slow Time- This item causes time to slow down for everyone but Kain.
Kain can move freely and faster than the others around him, making it
easy to feed.
*Vorador's Ring- Vorador himself gives you his ring to summon him once
you meet him at his mansion in the Termogent Forest.
10) Bosses
In Alphabetical Order
*Azimuth- Found in Her Cathedral in the Town of Azimuth. Her fighting
style is one I hate! She will summon two monsters to attack you. If
you kill them she will just summon them again. If that isn't bad enough
she attacks you with green energy bolts. And the thing I hate most is
that she teleports from one side of the room to the other. Sometimes
she teleports before you can hit her. The way I try to defeat her can
be a pain, but is the safest way- it may just take you a long time
depending on how fast you can accomplish it. First cast Repel on
yourself. Then weild the Soul Reaver which you should find in the
Cathedral before you even reach Azimuth. Hit her until she dies but
keep an eye on your magic meter and your Repel Shield. If either start
to fade, replenish them.
* Bane- Found in Dark Eden with Dejoule. Bane is hard enough, but you
don't fight Bane alone. Be appears with Dejoule! Bane never really
physically attacks you, he just creates water puddles where ever he
feels like. My strategy is to just avoid the puddles al best you can
and hit Bane as many times as you can with the Flame Sword. If it takes
you too long to kill Bane, the puddles become increasingly harder to
avoid- you may not have a choice but to walk through them. Just take
him out as soon as you possibly can and then turn your attention to
Dejoule.
*Dark Entity- This is the end boss and is found at the Pillars. The
Dark Entity is merely the alter ego of Mortanius. He can be a real pain
because he tunnels beneath the ground and when he emerges- he attempts
to hit you with his body. If he connects with his body the damage you
suffer is emense. I recommend the same strategy I suggested with
Azimuth. Cast Repel on yourself and then equip the Soul Reaver. Again
watch your health and replenish your magic and Repel sheild as
necessary.
*Dejoule- She is found in Dark Eden in the same place you have been
fighting Bane. They unfortunately appear together. Dejoule is across
the water from Bane. Finish off Bane and then turn your attention to
Dejoule. She is protected by oval shaped water beads it looks like.
Dejoule is very easy to defeat. First cast a Repel shield on yourself
and then stand on the mound of earth on either side of her. Then just
continuously throw the item Flay as many times as possible. You can use
the spell Energy Bolt is you don't have enough Flays left to finish her
off.
*Elzevir The Dollmaker- He is found in his Mansion near the Kingdom of
Willendorf. Here is another boss I hate the fighting style of! He
fights just like Azimuth! He summons dolls or Teddy Bears (he IS a
dollmaker afterall...) to attack you and he likes to teleport around the
room. Take the same approach you used to kill Azimuth. Cast Repel on
yourself and attack whenever possible with the Soul Reaver. Just
remember to watch your Repel Shield and your magic meter!
*Malek- He can be found at his Bastion high atop the mountains of
Nosgoth in a wintry landscape. Malek can be a pain- he can do
considerable damage to you with his weapon if he connects. One good
thing about him is that he is slow moving, so his weapon is easy to
dodge. I recommend using the Repel Shield and attacking him with the
Iron Sword. Move away from him quickly when your shield drops.
*Mortanius- You find him at the Pillars in the End Game. For a boss
this late in the game, Mortanius is surprisingly easy. He stays fairly
still and summons very easy monsters to attack you. Just use the Repel
Spell and hit him with the Soul Reaver.
*Nupraptor- He is the first boss you encounter and he can be found at
his Retreat in the hills of Nosgoth to the west. Nupraptor likes to
teleport like Azimuth and Elzevir. But to make him more complicated, he
sends a row of giant balls at you. The green balls will not disappear,
but the purple ones will. Just stay in front of the purple balls, and
walk through the line when the purple ones disappear. Hit Nupraptor,
and then walk back through the line at the purple balls. Continue to
follow Nupraptor and hit him with your Iron Sword. Once he teleports to
the center of the room, you know he is almost ready for the abyss. Give
him just one more hit and he's finished.
*William The Just- Now this is got to be the hardest boss you have to
face. He doesn't fight alone and doesn't fight fair. Besides he too
has a Soul Reaver! Now that isn't fair, is it? Luckily you can dodge
his attacks most of the time due to the fact Willie moves very slowly.
Just keep attacking him, you can use either the Soul Reaver or the Flame
Sword. But, the Soul Reaver can be a pain because you have to keep
unequipping it to recast Repel. I would just use the Flame Sword and
leave yourself the opportunity to use magic.
11) Monster List (If Possible)

Pillar.

Pillar.

Pillar.

N/A
13) Dark Diary FMV (Full Motion Video)
In specific parts of the game you are able to view a FMV (Full Motion
Video) about a major event. These movies are informative and very well
done. If you can't wait to complete the game to see all of the scenes,
by all means use the Cheat Code found in the Odds And Ends Section
below. Happy Viewing!
*The first video shows the slaughter of some of the members of the
Circle of Nine at the hands of the Vampire Vorador. They call to Malek
but he arrives too late to stop the carnage. You then see a bit of the
fight between Vorador and Malek. After that, Mortanius curses Malek and
fuses him to his magical armor. And lastly, Arial is murdered and the
Pillars crack.
*The next movie is one of my favorites. You have been stain and yor
hands are cuffed to a board, a sword driven through your body. You care
not of your fate, but of revenge. The Necromancer Mortanius gives your
wish. You will have your vengance- you go to seek it, as a Vampire.
*After you kill the pesants that murdered you, you arive at the Pillars
of Nosgoth. You see a strange floating spirit that speaks to you- she
tells you that you must restore the corrupted pillars and heal Nosgoth.
But, you care not for the fate of this world- you care only for your own
suffering. She tells you to cleanse Nosgoth is to give yourself peace.
So, you accept- if you didn't we wouldn't have a game, would we? .
*You arive at the Oracle to listen to him prattle on about King Otmar
and his ill child. You speak sternly to the Oracle and ask him who
Malek is and how he can be defeated. Your answer: Malek is the last of
the Serafin Sorceror Priests. He lead the Serafan Holy War against the
Vampires. The Oracle tells you the rest of your answer lies with the
Vampire Vorador at his Mansion in the Termogent Forest.
*You meet the old and powerful Vampire Vorador. He tells you the story
of how he killed six of the members of the Circle of Nine for supporting
the Serafan Holy War. He gives you a warning- not to meddle in the
affairs of man, and gives you his ring so that you may summon him when
you need him.
*In Dark Eden you met up with Malek, Bane, and Dejoule. Malek stands
between you and Bane and Dejoule. You use the ring to summon Vorador.
He appears in front of you and speaks to Malek- Bane and Dejoule run
like cowards and you pursue them- leaving Vorador and Malek to fight it
out.
*You try to get into the Court of King Otmar. A lowly pesant gets in
your way and you toss him aside. He tells you the sad story of his love
for his daughter. He had arranged for a contest in the honor of his
daughter's birthday. The one who could make the finest doll in the land
would be granted a Royal favor. The dollmaker Elzevir made the best
doll, and in return would take a lock of the Princesses' hair. She soon
lapsed into a coma, lifeless like a puppet. He proclaims that any who
can restore the Princess shall have his Kingdom. 1 minute
*You are able to restore life to the Princess. But, you will not take
the Kingdom.... Instead you take the Army and go off to fight the
Legions Of The Nemesis. 36 seconds.
*You travel back in time and see the speack of Mobius who has also
braved time travel. He tells all that will listen to seek out and
destroy all Vampires. 48 seconds
*You walk into a crowd of peasants- only to see your mentor, the Vampire
Vorador beheaded. The crowd is the told to rid the rest of the world of
Vampires. The finger points to you- the last Vampire!
*You have a short conversation with Mobius (the Oracle), but at the end
he loses his head! It's a shame when one loses his head...
*You arrive at the Pillars one last time, to hear two voices- one
belonging to Mortanius and one belonging to Anarcrothe. You learn that
it was Mortanius that had you murdered (that slippery little...) and
brought you back to life to destroy the remaining Circle. Mortanius
tells Anarcrothe he will welcome death if he is willing to deal out the
killing blow. When Anarcrothe is unsucessful and Mortanius kills him
instead. Enter Kain from behind a Pillar. Kain tells Mortanius that
he's just going to have to kill him. Guess you shouldn't upset a
Vampire!
*You have killed Mortanius (so you thought) and he transforms to his
alter ego- the Dark Entity. Time for the Final Fight! .
*After the defeat of the Dark Entity, you learn that you are the soul
survivor of the Circle of Nine. You now must chose to either save or
damn the world.
*If you damn the World: You realize that Vorador was right, Vampires are
Gods- Dark Gods. As a God it is your duty to thin the herd.
*If you save the World: You decide to give your life to save Nosgoth
and restore the Pillar wich you guarrded.

20) Secrets- There Are 100 Of Them
NOTE: this section is grosly unfinished. I will update as soon as I
can. Until then- Silicon Knights has a great section of their website
dedicated to the 100 secrets of Legacy of Kain. The visuals help more
than words can. The secrets are easier to find and understand this way.
Check back- I may update this soon, it may be later. I may not get to
it until after the holidays. But I will update it. I have kept here
what I have already figured out. It still may not be right. My
notetaking is very unorganized. If you find an error in anything here-
let me know.
I have organized the secrets to be found in alphabetical order. I hope
they are helpful... and correct. Sometimes my notetaking while playing
the game is a bit messy. When there are several secrets for a single
area, I will state it like this: (Secret 1 of 31) for example.
*Anti-Toxin Spirit Forge- Located in the Termogent Forest.
*Avernus- (Secret 1 of 6) Go to the near center of town. Here you will
find a house with debris in front of the door- it goes about 1/2 of the
way up the doorway. Change into Mist Form and walk inside. Collect the
Slow Time Item. (Secret 2 of 6) Stay in Mist Form and go east (still
inside the house) and walk through the cracked wall. Walk around in the
sewers behind the cracked wall- collect the items. The SouthWestern
area there is an item which is the secret. (Secret 3 of 6) Still inside
the house- go south to the first righ hand corridor. Collect the Slow
Time item which is the secret. (Secret 4 of 6) In the far right
(west) side of the town is a home that contains an item on the left side
of the home- collect it, that is the secret. (Secret 5 of 6) There is a
home much like the first one I mentioned in this section on the right
(east) side of town. Go inside and to the back room- the item there is
the secret. (Secret 6 of 6) South of the town is a Gypsy Camp, Move the
two boulders (extra strength required) and collect the items there.
*Avernus' Cathedral- On your way through the Cathedral, watch out for a
door you trigger open. It's hard to explain really. For a better
description visit the Silicon Knights webpage. They give a description
on what to do- and they have a screenshot to describe what to do and
where the door is.
*Brigand's Base- South of the Town Averus (best reached by jumping the
cliffs east of Nachtolm) is a cave that must be entered on a full moon,
there is a secret here.
*Cemetary-
*Coorhagen Town-
*Dark Eden-
*Elzevir The Dollmaker's Area-
*Energy Bank Spirit Forge- Located in the Termogent Forest.
*Flay Spirit Forge- Located North West of the Wolf Dungeon.
*Font Of Putrensense Spirit Forge- Located South of the Town of
Coorhagen- Full Moon Cave
*Heart Of Darkness Spirit Forge- Located South of Dark Eden
*Implode Spirit Forge- Located North of the Town of Steinchencroe- Full
Moon Cave
*Kain's Crypt-
*Light Spell Dungeon-
*Lost City- Most of the game's secrets can be found here. 28 are hiding
here so try not to skip anything and pick up everything you see.
*Malek's Bastion-
*Mind Control Spell Dungeon-
*Nachtholm Town-
*Nemesis (The Past)-
*Nupraptor's Retreat-
*Pentalich Of Tarot Spirit Forge- Located West of the Stronghold of
William The Just- Full Moon Cave
*Slow Time Spirit Forge- Located South of the Town of Willendorf- Full
Moon Cave
*Steinchencroe Town-
*Uschtenheim Town-
*Vasserbunde Town-
*Vorador's Mansion-
*Willendorf-
*Willendorf Island-
*Zeigstruchl Town-
21) Odds And Ends
*There are three cheat codes for this game that I know of. They are:
FULL BLOOD: Up, Right, Attack, Action, Up, Down, Right Left
FULL MAGIC: Right, Right, Attack, Action, Up, Down, Right, Left
DARK DIARY (See all scenes) Left, Right, Attack, Action, Up, Down, Right
, Left
Just push in one of the button combinations above and presto! It doesn't
always work the first time, but once you have mastered the combinations,
it works perfectly.
*Kain is stronger at NIGHT (He is a Vampire afterall...) Save fighting
strong enemies for then.
*The Spell you gain in a dungeon is almost always the key to completing
it.
*Unfortunately you can't save anywhere you like (like in some other
games)- but do try to save often. This makes the difference when it
comes to how much you will have to re-do in the event of your demise or
a power surge.
*The sure sign you have been somewhere before is that the live monsters
(the brightly colored monsters) have become ghosts (faintly colored).
An attack by a ghost drains your magic meter instead of your blood
meter. You can also drain a ghost (like drinking blood only a ghost's
blood is blue) and replenish your magic meter.
*Don't wait until you die to utilize a Heart of Darkness. Use one while
you are alive and regain more blood!
22) Author's Notes:
I have written this walkthrough myself. I had no help. But I have been
very unsure of a lot of things (I'm sure that makes you wonder what
qualifies me to write this then...) The secrets I have listed I found in
the game through the help of the Silicon Knights (the creators of the
game) Website. It is very helpful. I suggest visiting it.
The address is: http://www.siliconknights.com
The rest of the locations I left in my secrets section are other places
that secrets can be found according to Silicon Knights. So, just
continue to explore! That's the key to unlocking all of the secrets to
Blood Omen: Legacy Of Kain.
Also, as I have stated in my other walkthroughs (Final Fantasy: Mystic
Quest and Secret Of Evermore) I only check my E-Mail once a week- every
Monday. So, if you E-Mail me and it takes awhile for me to respond,
that is the reason. But rest assured- I will return your E-Mail.
Thanks for reading my walkthrough!

games that they know nothing about (I have no gamers in my family).
But, they do listen and read my work for me. And most of all they
support me- even if they don't understand me completely.

This has always been one of my favorite games (Next to Final Fantasy 3
and the original Resident Evil). This game has a really good story line
(as good as you can get with a Vampire for a lead character) and has in
my opinion a fairly good replay value. The You are Kain, a once Nobleman
who is killed by peasants just outside of his hometown of Coorhagen
after leaving a Tavern. Kain is given a chance for vengance- which he
foolishly accepts. Once you slay your murderers, you realize your
journey is far from over.......

2) Characters
*Kain- Kain is an once Nobleman who is killed by peasants just outside
of his hometown of Coorhagen after leaving a Tavern. Kain is given a
chance for vengance- which he foolishly accepts. Once you slay your
murderers, you realize your journey is far from over.......
*Arial- The Lover of Nupraptor and your guide through Blood Omen: Legacy
of Kain.
*Nupraptor- Guardian of the Pillar of the Mind and Arial's lover. He
goes mad following the murder of Arial and spreads pain and misery among
the Circl of Nine and is crumbling the foundation of Nosgoth.
*Malek- Guardian of the Pilla of Conflict and protector of the Circle of
Nine. He has only been defeated once- he fell to the Vampire Vorador.
Malek is the last of the once great Serafin Sorceror Priests- a group of
Warriors that carried out a Holy War to cleanse the land of the feared
Vampires. Malek fails to protect the Circle and Mortanius damns him-
fusing his soul to a hellish set of magical armor and is no longer
human. In this wretched form he is to serve the remaining Circle for
eternity. Since is damnation he has allowed no member of the Circle to
fall again.
*Dejoule- Guardian of the Pillar of Energy. This member of the Circle
of Nine can usually be found with Bane. Together they created a place
called Dark Eden. In and around Dark Eden the creatures are mutated,
misshapen- bizare... When you first meet Dejoule, Malek is protecting
her from you.
*Bane- Guardian of the Pillar of Nature. Bane can usually be found
travelling with Dejoule. Both can be found in Dark Eden. When you
first see Bane, Malek is protecting him from you.
*Azimuth- Guardian of the Pillar of Dimension. She can be found in the
Cathedral in Azimuth.
*Mobius- Guardian of the Pillar of Time. He can be found at the
Stronghold of Willam The Just.
*Anarcrothe- Guardian of the Pillar of States. He can be found at the
Pillars at the end of the game. You don't have to do him in, Mortanius
does it for you. His scales can restore the Pillar of States.
*Mortanius- Guardian of the Pillar of Death. In the beginning of the
game it is he who curses Malek and fuses him to his armor. It is also
Mortanius that gives you the chance for vengance that you seek. Much
much later on, you discover it is also he that is behind the corruption
of the Pillars of Nosgoth. The Dark Entity is his alter ego.
*Vorador- A powerful Vampire- and the only being to ever defeat Malek.
He also personally slaughtered Six of the members of the Circle of Nine
for supporting the Serafan Holy War. He offers you some advise- and
gives you his ring to summon him. He tells you not to meddle in the
affairs of man. His philosophy is that Vampires are Gods- the dreams of
mortals are prayers to them begging for power and that mortals offer
their blood so that Vampires may enjoy their gifts.
*Elzevir The Dollmaker- Elzevir enters a contest given by King Otmar for
his daughter's birthday. The one who could make the best doll would be
granted one wish. Elzevir won and he has what seemed to be a simple
request- a lock of the Princesses' hair. Soon after, the Princess
lapses into a deep slumber. Using the doll and the lock of her hair,
Elzevir had taken her sould and placed it into the doll.
*King Otmar- The King gives a contest for his daughter's birthday. The
one who makes the finest doll would have a wish granted by the King.
Elzevir the Dollmaker eventually wins and his request seems simple- a
lock of the Princesses' hair. Soon after his request is granted, the
Princess lapses into a deep slumber. The King becomes tortured, and is
really not running the Kingdom, and the Army of the Nemesis is
approaching.

4) Tough Spots
No area in this game are too gough- not enough to warrant a full blown
step by step
5) Spells
*Blood Gout- Found in the Blood Gout Dungeon, Termogent Forest. This
spell automatically drains the blood of the target.
*Blood Shower- Found in Vorador's Mansion. Drains all enemies in the
range of the spell- but take care in using this spell, it can also drain
poisoned blood.
*Control Mind- Found in the Control Mind Dungeon, Termogent Forest. This
spell allows Kain to posess the mind of the target. He ramains in
control until the body of the target dies or Kain unposesses the target.
*Energy Bolt- Found in the Energy Bolt Shrine. This spell hurls a bolt
of energy at enemies and certain objects.
*Incapacitate- Found in the Caves leading to the Oracle. This spell
stops an enemy and forces them to stay still.
*Inspire Hate- Found in the 2nd Coorhagen Tunnel. This spell causes
enemies to attack eachother rather than Kain.
*Light- Found in the Light Shrine. This spell created artificial light
to see in dark places.
*Lightning- Found in the Lightning Cave- Full Moon. This spell attacks
the target with bolts of lightining.
*Repel- Found in the Town of Coorhagen. This spells creates a shield
around Kain. It reflects magic and he cannot be attacked physically.
But, it does only last for a short time, and will not protect from
spikes you might walk over on the floor.
*Sanctuary- Found in Kain's Mausoleum. This spell returns Kain to his
Crypt.
*Spirit Death- Found in Dark Eden. This spell causes instant death to
all enemies with the exception of Bosses.
*Spirit Wrack- Found in the Spirit Wrack Cave on the way to Willendorf.
This spell allows Kain to control ANY enemy- except bosses of course.
*Stun- Found in the Cave of Bandits. This spell stuns your target so
Kain can easily feast on their blood.
6) Forms That Kain Can Change Into
*Bat- Found to the NW of the Energy Bolt Dungeon. Once you get this
form you can change yourself into a bat and fly to different places in
Nosgoth. There are Bat beacons that you must activate (they look
similar to save points, but these are green instead), and once you get
to certain points, you can fly to bosses lairs, or to towns!
*Beguile- Found in the Illusion Dungeon on the way to Willendorf. This
is an inmprovement to the original Disguise you pick up in the Gypsy
Camp earlier in the game. This one makes you appear as a Nobleman to
townspeople. But if you attack anyone or attempt to feed, you revert
back to your Vampire form.
*Disguise- Found at the Gypsy Camp. This Disguise allows you to speak
to townspeople. And it is nice to appear as one of them because they
talk to you and won't attack you. But, if you attampt to attack anyone
or try to feed, you will revert back to your Vampire form.
*Mist- Found in the Mist Dungeon, Termogent Forest. This form will
allow you to walk through certain walls and doors that are unpassable in
your Vampire form. You can also walk on water with no damage. But
physical attacks will still harm you.
*Vampire- This is Kain's natural form.
*Wolf- Found in the Wolf Dungeon near the Light Dungeon. This form
allows Kain to morph into a wolf and jump on ledges (up or down) where
the Vampire form of Kain cannot go.
7) Armor List
*Bone Armor- Found In Coohagen Tunnel #1. This is a weak piece of
armor, but is does have one small advantage... lesser forms of the
undead (Skeletons and such) will not attack you as quickly while wearing
this.
*Chaos Armor- Found In Vorador's Mansion. While wearing this armor,
enemies attacking you, might recieve a blow in return.
*Flesh Armor- This armor has no real protection from attacks. It does,
however automatically drain the monster you slay. The only drawback to
that is that it sometimes drains poisonus blood!
*Iron Armor- This is the armor you begin the game with. It will give
you the most overall protection from physical attacks.
*Wraith Armor- Found in Avernus' Cathedral. This is the strongest armor
in the game with one drawback... It is only at is strongest at night-
during the game is pretty much useless.
8) Weapon List
*Axes (Havoc And Malice)- Found in Malek's Bastion. The axes are
strong but have one very serious drawback if you are a fan of using
magic and items like I am... You can't cast spells or use items while
equipping the axes.
*Flame Sword- Found in the Flame Sword Dungeon. This sword is strong
(well, stronger than the sword you begin the game with) but also has a
drawback (what doesn't?). The drawback is that it burns your enemies,
so feeding is not possible.
*Iron Sword- This is the sword you begin the game with. It is a good
all around weapon, but there are better- once an upgrade becomes
available use something else.
*Spiked Mace- Found in Nupraptor's Retreat. This weapon is good for
stunning an enemy (But if you hit them again sfter you stun them and
they are still alive, they come out of the stun). Stunning an enemy
makes it very easy to feed. This is also used to break down barriers.
*Soul Reaver- Found in Avernus' Cathedral. This is hands down the
strongest weapon in the game. But, is has its drawbacks (I bet you saw
that one coming!). This is a two-handed weapon- you can't cast spells
or use items. This weapon also consumes magic!
9) Item List
Common items like Anti-Toxin, Energy Bank, Flay, Font Of Putrescense,
Heart Of Darkness, Implode, Pentalich Of Tarot, and Slow Time can be
found all over Nosgoth.
*Anti-Toxin- Cures poison from Green Blood.
*Elzevir The Dollmaker's Doll- Houses the soul of King Otmar's Daughter.
*Energy Bank- Gives Kain access to massive amounts of magical energy,
but once its effects wear off, Kain has not even a drop of magical
energy left.
*Flay- This attacks an enemy and shears the flesh from it's bones.
*Font Of Putrescense- This item melts the intended target and anything
else that touches the pool the victim leaves behing will also melt.
*Heart Of Darkness- This item will ressurect Kain if he falls in battle.
Also if used before Kain's demise, it will give him more blood than he
would gain using it after he dies.
*Implode- Hense the name- it causes the target to implode on contact.
*Pentalich Of Tarot- This item will cause a random death to the intended
targets.
*Slow Time- This item causes time to slow down for everyone but Kain.
Kain can move freely and faster than the others around him, making it
easy to feed.
*Vorador's Ring- Vorador himself gives you his ring to summon him once
you meet him at his mansion in the Termogent Forest.
10) Bosses
In Alphabetical Order
*Azimuth- Found in Her Cathedral in the Town of Azimuth. Her fighting
style is one I hate! She will summon two monsters to attack you. If
you kill them she will just summon them again. If that isn't bad enough
she attacks you with green energy bolts. And the thing I hate most is
that she teleports from one side of the room to the other. Sometimes
she teleports before you can hit her. The way I try to defeat her can
be a pain, but is the safest way- it may just take you a long time
depending on how fast you can accomplish it. First cast Repel on
yourself. Then weild the Soul Reaver which you should find in the
Cathedral before you even reach Azimuth. Hit her until she dies but
keep an eye on your magic meter and your Repel Shield. If either start
to fade, replenish them.
* Bane- Found in Dark Eden with Dejoule. Bane is hard enough, but you
don't fight Bane alone. Be appears with Dejoule! Bane never really
physically attacks you, he just creates water puddles where ever he
feels like. My strategy is to just avoid the puddles al best you can
and hit Bane as many times as you can with the Flame Sword. If it takes
you too long to kill Bane, the puddles become increasingly harder to
avoid- you may not have a choice but to walk through them. Just take
him out as soon as you possibly can and then turn your attention to
Dejoule.
*Dark Entity- This is the end boss and is found at the Pillars. The
Dark Entity is merely the alter ego of Mortanius. He can be a real pain
because he tunnels beneath the ground and when he emerges- he attempts
to hit you with his body. If he connects with his body the damage you
suffer is emense. I recommend the same strategy I suggested with
Azimuth. Cast Repel on yourself and then equip the Soul Reaver. Again
watch your health and replenish your magic and Repel sheild as
necessary.
*Dejoule- She is found in Dark Eden in the same place you have been
fighting Bane. They unfortunately appear together. Dejoule is across
the water from Bane. Finish off Bane and then turn your attention to
Dejoule. She is protected by oval shaped water beads it looks like.
Dejoule is very easy to defeat. First cast a Repel shield on yourself
and then stand on the mound of earth on either side of her. Then just
continuously throw the item Flay as many times as possible. You can use
the spell Energy Bolt is you don't have enough Flays left to finish her
off.
*Elzevir The Dollmaker- He is found in his Mansion near the Kingdom of
Willendorf. Here is another boss I hate the fighting style of! He
fights just like Azimuth! He summons dolls or Teddy Bears (he IS a
dollmaker afterall...) to attack you and he likes to teleport around the
room. Take the same approach you used to kill Azimuth. Cast Repel on
yourself and attack whenever possible with the Soul Reaver. Just
remember to watch your Repel Shield and your magic meter!
*Malek- He can be found at his Bastion high atop the mountains of
Nosgoth in a wintry landscape. Malek can be a pain- he can do
considerable damage to you with his weapon if he connects. One good
thing about him is that he is slow moving, so his weapon is easy to
dodge. I recommend using the Repel Shield and attacking him with the
Iron Sword. Move away from him quickly when your shield drops.
*Mortanius- You find him at the Pillars in the End Game. For a boss
this late in the game, Mortanius is surprisingly easy. He stays fairly
still and summons very easy monsters to attack you. Just use the Repel
Spell and hit him with the Soul Reaver.
*Nupraptor- He is the first boss you encounter and he can be found at
his Retreat in the hills of Nosgoth to the west. Nupraptor likes to
teleport like Azimuth and Elzevir. But to make him more complicated, he
sends a row of giant balls at you. The green balls will not disappear,
but the purple ones will. Just stay in front of the purple balls, and
walk through the line when the purple ones disappear. Hit Nupraptor,
and then walk back through the line at the purple balls. Continue to
follow Nupraptor and hit him with your Iron Sword. Once he teleports to
the center of the room, you know he is almost ready for the abyss. Give
him just one more hit and he's finished.
*William The Just- Now this is got to be the hardest boss you have to
face. He doesn't fight alone and doesn't fight fair. Besides he too
has a Soul Reaver! Now that isn't fair, is it? Luckily you can dodge
his attacks most of the time due to the fact Willie moves very slowly.
Just keep attacking him, you can use either the Soul Reaver or the Flame
Sword. But, the Soul Reaver can be a pain because you have to keep
unequipping it to recast Repel. I would just use the Flame Sword and
leave yourself the opportunity to use magic.

N/A
13) Dark Diary FMV (Full Motion Video)
In specific parts of the game you are able to view a FMV (Full Motion
Video) about a major event. These movies are informative and very well
done. If you can't wait to complete the game to see all of the scenes,
by all means use the Cheat Code found in the Odds And Ends Section
below. Happy Viewing!
*The first video shows the slaughter of some of the members of the
Circle of Nine at the hands of the Vampire Vorador. They call to Malek
but he arrives too late to stop the carnage. You then see a bit of the
fight between Vorador and Malek. After that, Mortanius curses Malek and
fuses him to his magical armor. And lastly, Arial is murdered and the
Pillars crack.
*The next movie is one of my favorites. You have been stain and yor
hands are cuffed to a board, a sword driven through your body. You care
not of your fate, but of revenge. The Necromancer Mortanius gives your
wish. You will have your vengance- you go to seek it, as a Vampire.
*After you kill the pesants that murdered you, you arive at the Pillars
of Nosgoth. You see a strange floating spirit that speaks to you- she
tells you that you must restore the corrupted pillars and heal Nosgoth.
But, you care not for the fate of this world- you care only for your own
suffering. She tells you to cleanse Nosgoth is to give yourself peace.
So, you accept- if you didn't we wouldn't have a game, would we? .
*You arive at the Oracle to listen to him prattle on about King Otmar
and his ill child. You speak sternly to the Oracle and ask him who
Malek is and how he can be defeated. Your answer: Malek is the last of
the Serafin Sorceror Priests. He lead the Serafan Holy War against the
Vampires. The Oracle tells you the rest of your answer lies with the
Vampire Vorador at his Mansion in the Termogent Forest.
*You meet the old and powerful Vampire Vorador. He tells you the story
of how he killed six of the members of the Circle of Nine for supporting
the Serafan Holy War. He gives you a warning- not to meddle in the
affairs of man, and gives you his ring so that you may summon him when
you need him.
*In Dark Eden you met up with Malek, Bane, and Dejoule. Malek stands
between you and Bane and Dejoule. You use the ring to summon Vorador.
He appears in front of you and speaks to Malek- Bane and Dejoule run
like cowards and you pursue them- leaving Vorador and Malek to fight it
out.
*You try to get into the Court of King Otmar. A lowly pesant gets in
your way and you toss him aside. He tells you the sad story of his love
for his daughter. He had arranged for a contest in the honor of his
daughter's birthday. The one who could make the finest doll in the land
would be granted a Royal favor. The dollmaker Elzevir made the best
doll, and in return would take a lock of the Princesses' hair. She soon
lapsed into a coma, lifeless like a puppet. He proclaims that any who
can restore the Princess shall have his Kingdom. 1 minute
*You are able to restore life to the Princess. But, you will not take
the Kingdom.... Instead you take the Army and go off to fight the
Legions Of The Nemesis. 36 seconds.
*You travel back in time and see the speack of Mobius who has also
braved time travel. He tells all that will listen to seek out and
destroy all Vampires. 48 seconds
*You walk into a crowd of peasants- only to see your mentor, the Vampire
Vorador beheaded. The crowd is the told to rid the rest of the world of
Vampires. The finger points to you- the last Vampire!
*You have a short conversation with Mobius (the Oracle), but at the end
he loses his head! It's a shame when one loses his head...
*You arrive at the Pillars one last time, to hear two voices- one
belonging to Mortanius and one belonging to Anarcrothe. You learn that
it was Mortanius that had you murdered (that slippery little...) and
brought you back to life to destroy the remaining Circle. Mortanius
tells Anarcrothe he will welcome death if he is willing to deal out the
killing blow. When Anarcrothe is unsucessful and Mortanius kills him
instead. Enter Kain from behind a Pillar. Kain tells Mortanius that
he's just going to have to kill him. Guess you shouldn't upset a
Vampire!
*You have killed Mortanius (so you thought) and he transforms to his
alter ego- the Dark Entity. Time for the Final Fight! .
*After the defeat of the Dark Entity, you learn that you are the soul
survivor of the Circle of Nine. You now must chose to either save or
damn the world.
*If you damn the World: You realize that Vorador was right, Vampires are
Gods- Dark Gods. As a God it is your duty to thin the herd.
*If you save the World: You decide to give your life to save Nosgoth
and restore the Pillar wich you guarrded.

20) Secrets- There Are 100 Of Them
NOTE: this section is grosly unfinished. I will update as soon as I
can. Until then- Silicon Knights has a great section of their website
dedicated to the 100 secrets of Legacy of Kain. The visuals help more
than words can. The secrets are easier to find and understand this way.
Check back- I may update this soon, it may be later. I may not get to
it until after the holidays. But I will update it. I have kept here
what I have already figured out. It still may not be right. My
notetaking is very unorganized. If you find an error in anything here-
let me know.
I have organized the secrets to be found in alphabetical order. I hope
they are helpful... and correct. Sometimes my notetaking while playing
the game is a bit messy. When there are several secrets for a single
area, I will state it like this: (Secret 1 of 31) for example.
*Anti-Toxin Spirit Forge- Located in the Termogent Forest.
*Avernus- (Secret 1 of 6) Go to the near center of town. Here you will
find a house with debris in front of the door- it goes about 1/2 of the
way up the doorway. Change into Mist Form and walk inside. Collect the
Slow Time Item. (Secret 2 of 6) Stay in Mist Form and go east (still
inside the house) and walk through the cracked wall. Walk around in the
sewers behind the cracked wall- collect the items. The SouthWestern
area there is an item which is the secret. (Secret 3 of 6) Still inside
the house- go south to the first righ hand corridor. Collect the Slow
Time item which is the secret. (Secret 4 of 6) In the far right
(west) side of the town is a home that contains an item on the left side
of the home- collect it, that is the secret. (Secret 5 of 6) There is a
home much like the first one I mentioned in this section on the right
(east) side of town. Go inside and to the back room- the item there is
the secret. (Secret 6 of 6) South of the town is a Gypsy Camp, Move the
two boulders (extra strength required) and collect the items there.
*Avernus' Cathedral- On your way through the Cathedral, watch out for a
door you trigger open. It's hard to explain really. For a better
description visit the Silicon Knights webpage. They give a description
on what to do- and they have a screenshot to describe what to do and
where the door is.
*Brigand's Base- South of the Town Averus (best reached by jumping the
cliffs east of Nachtolm) is a cave that must be entered on a full moon,
there is a secret here.
*Cemetary-
*Coorhagen Town-
*Dark Eden-
*Elzevir The Dollmaker's Area-
*Energy Bank Spirit Forge- Located in the Termogent Forest.
*Flay Spirit Forge- Located North West of the Wolf Dungeon.
*Font Of Putrensense Spirit Forge- Located South of the Town of
Coorhagen- Full Moon Cave
*Heart Of Darkness Spirit Forge- Located South of Dark Eden
*Implode Spirit Forge- Located North of the Town of Steinchencroe- Full
Moon Cave
*Kain's Crypt-
*Light Spell Dungeon-
*Lost City- Most of the game's secrets can be found here. 28 are hiding
here so try not to skip anything and pick up everything you see.
*Malek's Bastion-
*Mind Control Spell Dungeon-
*Nachtholm Town-
*Nemesis (The Past)-
*Nupraptor's Retreat-
*Pentalich Of Tarot Spirit Forge- Located West of the Stronghold of
William The Just- Full Moon Cave

21) Odds And Ends
*There are three cheat codes for this game that I know of. They are:
FULL BLOOD: Up, Right, Attack, Action, Up, Down, Right Left
FULL MAGIC: Right, Right, Attack, Action, Up, Down, Right, Left
DARK DIARY (See all scenes) Left, Right, Attack, Action, Up, Down, Right
, Left
Just push in one of the button combinations above and presto! It doesn't
always work the first time, but once you have mastered the combinations,
it works perfectly.
*Kain is stronger at NIGHT (He is a Vampire afterall...) Save fighting
strong enemies for then.
*The Spell you gain in a dungeon is almost always the key to completing
it.
*Unfortunately you can't save anywhere you like (like in some other
games)- but do try to save often. This makes the difference when it
comes to how much you will have to re-do in the event of your demise or
a power surge.
*The sure sign you have been somewhere before is that the live monsters
(the brightly colored monsters) have become ghosts (faintly colored).
An attack by a ghost drains your magic meter instead of your blood
meter. You can also drain a ghost (like drinking blood only a ghost's
blood is blue) and replenish your magic meter.
*Don't wait until you die to utilize a Heart of Darkness. Use one while
you are alive and regain more blood!
22) Author's Notes:
I have written this walkthrough myself. I had no help. But I have been
very unsure of a lot of things (I'm sure that makes you wonder what
qualifies me to write this then...) The secrets I have listed I found in
the game through the help of the Silicon Knights (the creators of the
game) Website. It is very helpful. I suggest visiting it.
The address is: http://www.siliconknights.com
The rest of the locations I left in my secrets section are other places
that secrets can be found according to Silicon Knights. So, just
continue to explore! That's the key to unlocking all of the secrets to
Blood Omen: Legacy Of Kain.
Also, as I have stated in my other walkthroughs (Final Fantasy: Mystic
Quest and Secret Of Evermore) I only check my E-Mail once a week- every
Monday. So, if you E-Mail me and it takes awhile for me to respond,
that is the reason. But rest assured- I will return your E-Mail.
Thanks for reading my walkthrough!

Also my thanks to the usual people I always thank- My husband and my
parents. They put up with me day in and day out talking about video
games that they know nothing about (I have no gamers in my family).
But, they do listen and read my work for me. And most of all they
support me- even if they don't understand me completely.
