PrinceWatercress plays Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain - Part 3 of 41


It's time to find some secrets before continuing to Nachtholm.


3:15 - Using the map with L2 and the Control Pad. You can see quite a bit of your current location with this.

6:08 - We're back near the wolf form cave. We want to go northeast towards Nachtholm next.

7:12 - To the east is another building. Let's go there.

9:05 - Be ready to get away from the enemies as you head east and then north to get a new spell: Energy Bolt. This will let you destroy the projectile-throwing demons more easily and also allows you to kill any enemy from a distance with a few blasts. You can also hit switches on the wall with it, too. This spell uses quite a bit of magic power, so watch your magic meter. Also, don't forget to get the the rune triangle to the north.

10:53 - The switch-hitting properties of the Energy Bolt in action. Left and right go in, middle stays out.

12:27 - The kill count, explained (with better detail here). Slayings is how many people you've killed altogether. If you suck an enemy's blood, it counts as a Meal. If you don't, or if you kill an enemy in violent fashion, it's considered a Mutilation.

13:06 - The Start Button's pause menu. The orb lets you look at and equip items, the sword lets you look at and equip weapons and armor, and the book lets you look at and equip magical spells. The D-Pad and X lets you move stuff around, and you can get descriptions for things with Circle.

15:30 - Another blood vial. Grab it, then get out.

17:21 - The road to Nachtholm. On the way is a cave to the west. Let's enter it.

18:22 - A blood fountain, and the first of quite a few in this game. When the fountain is red, you can drink from it and not only completely refill your health no matter how little you have, but you also get a new ability. In the case of this fountain, your strength will increase and allow you to push small boulders. This is the first of three strength upgrades in the game.

Once you get that new ability, however, the blood turns black. If you drink black blood, you will nearly die, and you will be chastised for going to the well more than once.

19:34 - Kain's description of Nachtholm, and the strength upgrade in action before we briefly look around.

Secrets

5. - The blood flask just south of the smaller mausoleum at the start contains a secret. If you hear the click (like you always will when you find a secret), you'll triggered it.

6. - There's another secret near the flays. Get to the flays and move around until you hear the click.

7. - Here's a building you can only find as a wolf. The teleporter pad takes you to some magical items that let you kill items instantly.
