Hints
Defeating stone statues
A bit into the game you will start to encounter stone
statues that come to life and attack. An easy way to defeat them
is to exit combat mode and run close to it. When it starts to
attack, get out of range. It will hit the ground and be on its
knees for a short time. Jump near it and press [Triangle]
to do a mighty chop attack. The back of this creature tends to
be its weak point. This will get more difficult depending on how
many of them attack you at once. It seems that the most that will
attack at once is three.
If there are more than one stone statue, try to get all of them
close to each other. Go close to one of them and jump back when
he tries to hit you. If done correctly, one of the other statues
will hit the one that tried to hit you.
Defeating Elder God
Whenever a tentacle has little blue dots floating around
it, quickly slash it. Watch the eye occasionally when the blue
shield is gone. Get in quickly and give it a good slash. This
is the only way to damage him. When the eye starts to shoot out
different colored balls, go to the right side of the screen and
stand in the depression in the ground. Run circles in it, and
most of the balls will miss you. Dodge all of the tentacles as
they whip around. Use these tactics and you should survive.
Defeating Janos Audron
Like Turel, he is invulnerable except for certain moments.
Dodge him when he dive bombs you, then get in close and slash
at him. You can also attack him after he has shot the orange tornado
at you. Attack whenever he is down on his knees.
Build up your Reaver spell and be ready to cast a spell (Spirit
Reaver recommended). Do not use the spell immediately. Instead,
wait until he attacks with something like the orange tornado and
you are somewhat close to him. When he does the attack, immediately
cast the Reaver spell. As he goes to his knees he should take
some damage from the spell. you Also attack him at this point
as much as possible to inflict more damage. It is recommended
that you attack him until just before he starts taking no damage
from your attack again. Then, repeat the process. This takes time,
but helps to conserve some health and inflict quite a bit of damage
at the same time.
Defeating Kain
Use the basically strategy when defeating Raziel as
Kain.
Defeating Raziel
As Kain, use your combos and especially Kinetic Shackles.
Pull or throw Raziel around and keep slashing. Raziel is quick;
keep moving and use all your skills.
Defeating Turel
You will take your vengeance upon his monstrous form.
He is almost invulnerable unless you do the following. When the
glowing yellow bands surround you, find the gong that is emanating
them. You have to hit it either with your Reaver or with a Tk
bolt. This will stun him. Get to him and hack at him as fast as
possible. Repeat this as needed. Watch out for his other attacks.
Near the end, all four gongs will start to emanate. The two end
ones should be hit, killing him and giving you stronger telekinesis.
Finding the Earth Relic
When Kain is looking for the Earth Relic, hunt in whichever
forge he is in. When you find a hallway filled with black Spectres
(with purple eyes) run along it until you see a fence. Run in
a half circle on the left side of the hallway. Jump over and down
to find it.
Spirit Forge Puzzle
When you get to the Spirit Forge and the Elder God
is closing it of with his tentacles, do the following. First,
jump down and slash where the four connect. Next, climb out and
use your Dark and Light Reavers in the holes on the ground (beneath
the glowing runes). He will shout and drag the front deeper. Go
down and slash. Use Earth Reaver to help get back up to the top.
Do the same thing for Water and Fire. He will retreat deeper.
Slash him again. Use Earth to sink and slash, Water to freeze
the waterfall, and Earth to create to rock bridges. Climb to the
top and stick the Air and Earth Reavers in to ignite the Forge.
Then, just float down and get it.
Respawning Blood/Soul Basins
When playing as either Kain or Raziel, you will sometimes
find Blood or Soul Basins which will recharge your health when
you consume the contents. These respawn somewhere between two
and five minutes apart from when you used them. This is very useful
if you are locked in a room with multiple enemies, such as statues,
which do not give either blood or souls upon their death.
Traitorous enemies
If you get in a fight with multiple enemies, a strike
that is meant for you may hit one of your opponents. Sometimes
two enemies will flat out attack each other and forget you. This
is very helpful when you are fight multiple stone statues.
