Legacy Of Kain: Blood Omen 2 - Strategy Guide (Page 03)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Legacy Of Kain: Blood Omen 2 - Strategy Guide (Page 03).

Get on top of the machine and face the large stack of crates. "Jump" across
to the top of the crates and turn right, where you should see a Lore Chest.
"Jump" across to it, then climb up the stairway looking stack of crates. From
the top of this stack you can "jump" to the platform where this part of the
level started, and thus reach the switch that you have given power to. Hit
the switch and go through the door.

At the end of the short passage, you will see mist on the ground. Lure the
guards in the next room over into the mist and kill them. Kill all the
civilians roaming the area (there are three), and then head back to where you
came in. With your back to the passage you came in through, head to the left
into the room with the phonograph playing the amazingly irritating music. You
can't turn it off or destroy the machine, so hit the switch and leave back
into the main hallway. Follow the piping to the door that the glyph energy
will open, and head through it.

Head straight over the checkpoint onto the lift, which will lower you to the
next level. On the walkways to the left and right are Warrior Knights. Kill
them and jump down to the ground level. Kill the two civilians, then run
around the room to hit the switches on all of the machines. Once you hit them
all, you will see a cinema showing you a switch on the upper level charging.
Climb the ladder to the upper level and hit the switch, which will turn that
large thing in the middle of the room on and start the conveyor belt. Head
back to the lower level.

Follow the conveyor belt into the next room, but don't fall into the hole.
Doing so will kill you. Grab the Lore Chest and head toward the door, which
will start a cinema. After the two guards blow themselves up, a couple of
their friends show up. Kill them and feed on all the bodies. Once all the
guards and civilians are sufficiently dead, head up the right-side ramp to
the second level. Move across the shattered walkway to the checkpoint and
door on the opposite side. Use the switch to position the gondola, and
proceed through the door and onto the gondola.

The gondola arrives at three civilians and a checkpoint. Kill the civilians
then go to the checkpoint and up the ladder. At the top of the ladder is a
Warrior Knight. Kill her and then head up the next ladder to your left. Turn
left and head through the doorway, where you will encounter another Warrior
Knight. Kill her and keep following the path to another Warrior Knight. Kill
her as well. Hit the switch and head through the door to the next checkpoint
and up the ladder.

To the right is a catwalk and two Glyph Guards. Kill the guards and grab one
of their weapons and the nearby Lore Chest, then continue. Hit the switch on
the outside of the metal railing to lower the lift, then get on and ride it
to the next level and go through the door.

head left past the checkpoint and kill the guard there. You can use the mists
ahead to make the fight easier, although the maneuvering space is kind of
limited. Follow the path under the archway and to the next lift on the right,
and ride it down below.

Off the lift, follow the path straight and turn left at the first section to
find a Lore Chest. A couple of Sarafan Knights will come running, so kill
them off. At the end of the path, turn to the left and jump to the rock and
follow it around and up a set of stairs. Follow the platform back down the
next set of stairs and kill the guard there, then go through the door.

Beyond the door is a checkpoint. Trigger it and continue through the doorway
to the left and towards the mists. A Sarafan Knight is here, and he attacks.
Kill him for his folly. Head into the room on the right, and kill the
civilian, then use the switch to open the door. Head to the left and pass a
conveyor belt going haywire. Ahead in a little alcove to the right is a
switch. Hit it to open the door and reverse the direction of the conveyor
belt, which you must then travel down. Head back to the conveyor belt and
ride it to the end. To your left is a new double-bladed sword if you want it.

Head to the right to the checkpoint after equipping yourself, and into the
mists again. The next room has four large furnaces and a group of two guards
and a Sarafan Knight. Killing the first guard, who is standing in the mist in
front of you, will attract the Knight. The other guard is in the mists on the
far left-hand side of the room. Once the room's security detail has been duly
slaughtered, hit the switch over by where the guard was standing to open the
door.

In this room, there is a door with a broken switch, and a large, red colored
window off your left. Go to the window and charm the human inside to open the
door for you. Do this by having him commit suicide and blowing up the whole
room with the grenade things to the right of the window. You might want to
make sure Kain is out of the way first! Jump through the broken window and
feed on all the dead bodies, then head up the tunnel exposed by the
explosion.

A bunch of falling rocks has killed some civilians up here, and a lone
survivor scramblem around. Let the survivor join his friends in the
afterlife, then head through the passage to the right, where you will find
an antique driller and a Lore Chest. Proceed through the next tunnel once you
have finished feeding and gaining lore.

Inside the busted building, a cinema between the mysterious vampire from way
earlier in the game and a couple of guards will start. The door to the next
room is broken, so you must again charm a person to open it for you. Inside,
you are accosted by the Sarafan Knight and guard from the cutscene. Kill them
and the two civilians, then proceed down the mist-laden corridor and through
the door to the left. There is a Glyph Sword at the end o the passage if you
want a new weapon.

Kill the two civilians in the next room, and then move to the large window
and charm one of the poor mortals behind it. Hit the switch to reverse the
direction of the conveyor belt, allowing you passage to the room. Ride the
conveyor belt and kill the civilian in the next room...he has served his
purpose. Once you have fed, proceed through the doorway to the next
checkpoint.

In the next room there is a guard. Lure him into the mists for easy killing,
then open the next door. Hit the switch next to the window in the next room,
then charm one of the mortals on the other side. Head down the conveyor belt
to the next room and hit the switch on the conveyor belt there. Revert
control back to Kain. Head down the now open conveyor belt to the next room
and kill the two guards and the civilian you used earlier. Head down the
second conveyor belt to get a Lore Chest. Head back into the other room and
go through the door to the right.

There is nothing at the top of the crates in the next room, so don't bother
climbing up there. Just kill the civilian and go through the next door. Head
into the next mist-covered room and kill the two guards. There is an
explosive device at the end of the corridor that Kain probably doesn't want
to have anything to do with. Guess we'll just have to find the sacrificial...
er...martyr human.

Head through the door to the left of the explosives, and then to the right.
Kill the two civilians, then go to the window, where you can charm a mortal
on the other side and use the explosive for you. Head around to where the
device was and feed off of the mortal that set the device for you, then get
on the lift.

At the top is a checkpoint and a guard roaming the mists. Hit the checkpoint
then kill the guard. In the next room, a Sarafan is alerted to your presence,
so you must kill him. Off to the left, another guard stands in the mist. Kill
him as well. Another Sarafan and guard duo roam the ramp up ahead, so move
over there and remove them from the picture. Once they are dead, move to the
Lore Chest at the other end of the platform and grab it, then activate the
switch, which opens a door beneath you. Head through it.

In the next room, charm a human and then use her to hit the switches in her
room and the adjacent room. Revert control back to Kain and head down the
conveyor to the left. Go through the door on the right and kill the civilian,
then head down the next conveyor. In the next room, charm yet another mortal,
and use them to hit the three switches in the room. One is next to the
window, and it opens a conveyor belt in the first room. The next is to the
right of the window (as you look at it), and the third is on the glowing
green machine.

Head back to the first room and head down the far conveyor belt into the room
the mortal was in. Kill the guard and the two civilians, then follow the
train system to another civilian and a lift. You know what to do. Kill the
civilian off to the left at the top of the lift, and leave the crank alone.
It doesn't do anything. Follow the pathway around the corner to the right and
up the next set of stairs, where a guard waits. Kill him and the three
civilians. This room has a flame spout coming from a nearby furnace, and an
explosive device is set on a train. The track is blocked by stoppers at
various locations. You need to clear a path for the train and set a stopper
directly under the flame to blow up the next wall.

Head over to the flame and pull the stopper there so it is on the track. Move
over by the train and move the stopper there off the track. Finally, move to
the switch on the console near the train to start the exploding process. Head
through the hole in the wall, past the checkpoint and onto the mist walkway.
Switching to mist form won't help you until the Sarafan up ahead has been
slain. Afterwards, you might still have the guard to stealth kill, but you
might have killed him already. Nevertheless, kill the two warriors and then
head towards the pit. There is nothing in the pit, so don't go down there.
Instead "jump" across to the other side and continue.

Kill the guard on the path ahead, then head into the next area and through
the doorway. Go straight past the right path and into the room in front of
you, where you will find a Lore Chest. Once you have gotten it, head back
down the path to the left. At the bottom is a checkpoint and a circular lift
stands in the middle of the floor. Get on it and ride it up to the next
level, a cinema scene, and the next boss fight.


BOSS FIGHT: SEBASTIAN
Stage 1: In the first stage of the fight, Sebastian's helper up top activates
steam vents that hurt the vampires if they touch it. Position yourself so
that a Fury attack will knock Sebastian into the steam. Block his attacks
then counter, sending him into the steam. After such a hit, Sebastian will
launch a red attack, so be ready to dodge. After 5 visits to the steam, stage
two will start.

Stage 2: Get away from the center platform, or Kain will be fried before this
stage even starts! Sebastian runs around the room, and the steam chases Kain.
In the middle of the room is a giant energy stream. Sebastian will eventually
stop on one of the walls to leap at Kain. Find out where he is, and position
yourself on the opposite side of the room, so that he jumps into the energy.
Do this 3 times and stage 3 will start.

Stage 3: Sebastian orders his minion to raise the platform so he can destroy
the Nexus Stone. Quickly jump up there and stop him or the entire place will
explode. Once on the platform, charm the mortal and make him hit the right
lever, flooding the floor below with steam. Revert control back to Kain.
Sebastian is too quick to get burned, and joins Kain on the platform. From
here it is a straight fight to the finish. Careful not to get knocked into
the steam!

After the fight, Kain is healed as usual and he gains the Dark Gift
"Berserk", and the final cutscene of the chapter plays.

                           13. CONTACT INFORMATION
=============================================================================
OK, if you feel the need to send in your comments, complaints, suggestions,
ideas, criticism, contributions, gripes, hate mail, threatening letters,
etc., you can reach me at the following places, in order of preference:

E-mail:           celtic_lupus@yahoo.com

IM Services:
Yahoo! Messenger: celtic_lupus
MSN Messenger:    radagast15@hotmail.com
ICQ:              98057442

Yes, I am very well aware that I have a second e-mail address listed here,
but any e-mail relating to FAQ's sent to that address will be prone to
immediate deletion. Why? Because I went through the trouble of establishing a
whole new address at Yahoo! so that I can easily keep my mails separated. It
makes it much easier for me when all of the e-mail relating to FAQ's are kept
separate from my everyday, business-related e-mail. It also insures that you
will get a quicker response, since I do not have to wade through hundreds of
e-mails searching for ones that are from my FAQ patrons seeking help or
offering advice.


A few quick pointers here, before you send anything:
1. Make your subject line specific. It helps to know what game you are
talking about and what the contents of your letter are. If I can't easily
figure out what it is you're talking about, don't be surprised if you don't
get a response.

2. Don't send me questions that are already answered in the guide. They WILL
be ignored. It makes all of my work futile if I am going to type up a huge
FAQ and then have it completely ignored. Read the guide first.

3. Don't ask me to send you the guide. I didn't submit it to GameFAQ's page
just because I was bored.

4. If you are going to send criticism, try to keep it constructive. It won't
bother me to get e-mails that say: "Your guide sucks!". They will simply be
ignored, and then your time and mine will have gone to waste.

5. Don't send me anything in any language other than English. It will be
ignored, for the main reason that I can't comprehend it. Don't expect me to
go out and buy a bunch of foreign language dictionaries and grammar books to
attempt to translate your e-mail and send a reply.

6. I realize that many of you might wish to send in your contributions. I
encourage this, but there is one outstanding stipulation. Don't send me
anything that even remotely resembles a walkthrough. I might be forced to
block your e-mail entirely if this happens. Why? Games aren't cheap, and the
only way that I can acquire them is by working hard every day and spending my
paycheck to get them. It kind of ruins the fun factor for me when someone who
is much further along in the game than me sends me stuff walking me through
parts of the game that I haven't even had a chance to figure out for myself
yet. Just don't do it. It's irritating.

7. Last but not least, please do not send any messages that are typed in all
caps. You know, don't hit that key called "Caps Lock" and then type up a huge
message that looks SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THIS. I have trouble reading material
that is typed in such a manner, ergo it will be ignored.


I want to thank AdrenalineSL for her Do's and Don'ts list. It gave me an idea
of problems that have been encountered already and allows me to better
prepare and protect myself from junk e-mail. You rock!

That being said, if your messages adhere to the given regulations, then there
should be no problem, and I will send you the requested information as soon
as time permits. Regulations will be amended at a later time to include
anything that hasn't been covered yet, if the need arises.
