Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver
===========================
(submitted by: MadHaTTeR)

DO NOT ATTACK HUMANS:
You will encounter 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 continue on to fight
the zombie-like vampire. Leave after killing it, and do not go back
to the human. The next human you encounter, located 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 always attack. You may kill them
as they are evil. Be sure to check your human targets. You will now
be able to peacefully roam through the human stronghold.

FUN WITH HUMANS:
For those of you who feel the need to unleash your wrath upon your
unsuspecting human friends, go ahead and kill them with glyphs. The
other humans will not acknowledge 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 again.

DEFEATING MALCHIA:
To defeat 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 center
cage, quickly jump out, run to where Malchia started from, and roll
the lever. This will cause the large spikes on the ceiling to come
grinding down on top of him.

DEFEATING DUMAH:
Pull the three stakes out of him to bring him back to life. Lure
him into the furnace room very slowly--if you move too fast, he
will return to his room and you will have to begin again. Turn on
the gas and hit the switch after he is in the furnace room to fry
him.

DEFEATING ZEPHON:
Bring a torch with you to the fight with Zephon. Run up to his belly,
and swipe the torch at the hole for a bit of damage. He will attack
with his leg, and get it stuck in his belly. Strike the leg. He will
be heavily damaged. Strike the egg hole to cause more damage. Any
time he gets a leg stuck in the ground, hit it with the torch, then
hit his egg sack to quickly kill him. This is easier than the "correct"
method. After defeating him, you will gain the ability to scale walls.

DEFEATING RAHAB:
You must enter the chamber in the spectral realm. Go to the top pillar
where the portal is located 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
acquire the swimming ability.

DEFEATING KAIN (FIRST TIME):
Simply wait for him to materialize and hit him. He will appear behind
you 90% of the time. You will acquire Soul Reaver after he is defeated.

DEFEATING KAIN (FINAL TIME):
Wait for him to materialize and hit him. You need soul reaver to
do damage. The spirit forge in the center of the arena always automatically
fills your health. Simply run over to it to accomplish this. When
you strike him the first time, he appears on the second tier, again
usually behind you. Finally, when you hit him on the second tier,
he will materialize on the third and highest tier, again usually
behind you. Quickly hit him a third time to defeat him.

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

USE OF THE CONSTRICT ABILITY:
First, you must have a circular area around the target. For example:
Assume that the target is a Dumahim vampire (the most common in Nosgoth).
Now, without using autoface, run a complete 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 ample 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 begin 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 required to complete the puzzle in the Chrono-
chamber. Also, make 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 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.
