PrinceWatercress plays Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain - Part 21 of 41


In this entry, we finally meet Vorador, who wants us to embrace our vampirism and gives us his aid. This adventure is about to get a little more interesting.


0:43 - Have the Repel spell at the ready for the enemies in this room with the checkerboard floor. The purple demons spawn their own orange counterparts. Don't forget the blood vial and the magic refill!

1:46 - At the spikes, use your magic to destroy everyone, then head south. In the next room, use Control Mind on the woman on the balcony. Take her west and move into the panel on the wall. Press X to go back to playing as Kain, then continue south. Take out the demon and get the rune triangle, then continue west and take out the demons. Once again, Repel is useful here. Use the Mist Form to enter the northern door.

4:32 - Here, you'll get Blood Shower. With this spell, you can drink the blood of the two bandits and the two people chained to walls here to suck everyone's blood at once and open the door. 

5:54 - In the door to the north, you can some more blood from the people here. Feed off of everyone here with Blood Shower to open the door to the north.

7:51 - Be careful when you enter, as there will be enemies who will come at you. The panel on the north wall opens up a secret (see below): the doorway to the west. Going further leads to some Energy Bank and Heart of Darkness pick-ups as well as a magic refill. There is also a panel in the north wall that leads to another secret (see below). This opens a door to the east in the previous area. 

9:25 - Follow the spikes closely so you can pick up a ton of spells. The Mist form makes this easier.

10:46 - Here, we learn about the Serafan and the Vampire Purge from a nearby book. There is a switch to the east of the book that triggers a secret (see below), opening a door to the south. Use Control Mind on the human to the south, and take him south until you see a doorway to the west. Head there, then follow the path to the north. The glowing green light is a switch, this allows you to go further to the south. Follow the path and you'll end up in another area.

13:11 - To your immediate west at the start of this room is another secret panel hidden under some drapes. Walking up to it triggers secret #69 (nice; see below). From here, you're done with the guy you've possessed; you can go back to playing as Kain. Head to the north of where the book was to find more Flays and Hearts of Darkness.

15:05 - From here, head east, then take the doorway to the north. You'll find a save spire. Further to the north is Vorador, who tells Kain that he should embrace his vampirism before mentioning his past, where he talks about how he defeated Malek and took vengeance on the Circle of Nine for supporting the Serafan's vampire purge. The opening cutscene, which gets replayed here, now makes complete and total sense, as it is he who is put on the stake, but we also get more of the battle between Malek and Vorador. Vorador says that since his attack on the Circle of Nine, the vampires have not been bothered and only come out to feed, and warns Kain not to interfere with the affairs of man as Serafan are too tedious an affair to bother with. He then hands Kain a ring that allows Kain to summon him.

From here, pick up the ring at the north end of the table, then go through the grid-patterned panel on the north wall with the mist form. This is a secret (see below) that leads to some pick-ups. Watch out for the attractor, and use the mist form to walk on the water.

23:17 - As you go east from here, hit the panel on the northern wall of the exit room to find another secret (see below). To the north is another grid-patterned panel you pass through in mist form to find more pick-ups. From here, you can go south and follow the path to the exit. The teleporter will take you to another save spire and an exit to the south leading back outside.

Secrets

66 and 67. - The panel on the north wall opens up a door to the west leading to Energy Banks, Hearts of Darkness and a magic refill. There is also a panel on the north wall; you'll want to hit that for another secret. This opens a door to the east in the previous area.

68. - There is a switch to the east of this chronicle that opens a door to the south.

69. - In the northwest corner is a switch hidden by drapes. Walk into the northern wall in that corner to find the secret.

70. - This grid-pattern panel can be passed through with the mist form. On the other end is a chamber with a watery floor where you can grab some stuff.

71. - As you go east here, hit the panel on the northern wall in the exit room. You'll find another secret.
