PrinceWatercress plays Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain - Part 2 of 41


Now that we know what we've been brought back to this world to do, it's time to explore Nosgoth...and there's a lot to explore.


From the Pillars of Nosgoth, head west. There is another teleporter panel that takes you further.

0:58 - Not only can you find your bat form here, but you'll also find your first beacon. Step on the square panel in front of the beacon to activate it. From there, you can press Triangle and select the bat form to fly to a beacon you have activated to save yourself a lot of travel time.

There is a building near here. Let's enter it.

2:01 - In this building, you'll find the spell for Magical Light. This will let you light up dark areas. There will be a save spire to the west when you enter.

Once you head east, get read to fight skeletons and avoid spiked balls. The spiked balls hurt.

3:30 - The Magical Light spell. Use this to light up the area so you can see all the spiked balls, skeletons and people chained to the wall who are all fair game for a vampiric feeding. This spell does use magic, so be careful and keep an eye on your magic meter, which will refill slowly over time.

4:21 - Hit this switch to keep going.

5:25 - Another switch to hit.

5:41 - Hit the switch in the northeast corner.

7:29 - Now that it is night, we are stronger again. Head west and you'll soon approach Ziegsturhl...and a cave. The wolves will attack you, and while you can kill them, you cannot suck their blood.

9:27 - Inside is where you will find your wolf form. Head north of the Wolf icon on the floor and you'll go hunting for it.

10:21 - The wolf form. To use it, press Triangle, then select the wolf form with the D-Pad and X. You'll turn into a wolf. From here, you can move faster, and you can press X in conjunction with the D-Pad to jump and Square to swipe at enemies. Just like in vampire form, you can press Circle near a stunned enemy to suck their blood. Press Triangle to turn back into a human.

Jumping will allow you to jump over spike pits. If you don't jump over an obstacle right away, you'll need to re-position yourself. This form will slowly drain your magic...so watch your magic meter! If you run out of magic, you'll turn back into a vampire automatically.

You cannot use the Start Button menu while in wolf form. (More on that screen later.)

If you don't know where to go, look for the soft glowing light that indicates a switch somewhere. That will open something up.

11:53 - When enemies get annoying. Yes, enemies will sometimes stand inside of you to keep you from hitting them, and you'll need to re-position yourself.

12:24 - You can use the wolf form to jump up cliffs and over water. The red flasks will refill your health if you need it.

13:04 - Another area for the wolf. The guard with the axe is powerful, and you'll need to step away so that you don't get hacked up and lose a ton of health, or worse, revive yourself with a Heart of Darkness.

To open the door, you'll need to hit the switches in the corner, which have a soft, dark blue glow to them. The teleporter will take you back to the start of the cave where you got your wolf form.

15:18 - By flying to places of major interest in your bat form, you can get cool cutscenes like this one.

22:47 - After leaving through the main entrance for the spirit forge for the flays, you'll enter a new area. Use your wolf form to traverse through here. If you go west from here, you'll find another beacon. You'll want to trigger this beacon, as all the beacons will be important later.

27:06 - With our health refilled, we save our game.

Secrets

There are 100 secrets in the game. In this Let's Play, I find every single one of them. For your convenience, they will be in their own separate section and timestamped appropriately. Click the number to see the secret being activated.

1. - By pressing this switch in the center, you'll find your first secret. This will net you a hidden blood vial. It will go well with the one you'll find in plain sight seconds later.

2. - Get the rune pyramid to the east on the way south. (Why did I miss it?!?) There will be a spire glowing red when you go as far south as you can. Touching it opens doors to the sides for some items. From here, keep going south to leave.

3. - By going back to the tavern and jumping over the bar with the wolf form, you can open up a secret door behind the bar. This leads to a teleporter panel that takes you to...
 
4. - ...a spirit forge that lets you get a bunch of flays in return for a good amount of your blood. Walk towards the spirit forge to toggle the secret.

If you go through the main entrance, you'll end up in another area.
