From here, the adventure really begins. When it comes to where you need to go, however, you'll be left to your own devices.
You can pause the game at any time by pausing the game and selecting "Save Game." Keep in mind that whenever you restore a game, you start back where the whole game began, which is the same room where the Elder God brought you back. While you can talk to the Elder God to figure out what to do next, you have to go all the way back to where you left off manually with only the portals to help you, which can sometimes be a pain.
If you see a staff-like weapon on a wall, you can grab it with the Square button. From there, you can attack with it with the Square button. Holding L1 to crouch and pressing Square will allow you to drop the weapon. Holding Triangle lets you aim the weapon like a javelin at the nearest enemy, and letting go of Triangle allows you to throw the weapon. If it hits an enemy while the enemy is unaware, it will kill them instantly; otherwise, it just does major damage. If an enemy is stunned, you can impale and kill them with the Triangle button when you're in front of them. From there, you can absorb their soul with Circle, as usual. Because of all this, I find it much more convenient to fight with a weapon than with Raziel's first far more often than not.
From here on out, I'm going to use timestamps, because finding your way through this game can be a bit of a pain and the game gives you no in-game map whatsoever.
2:52 - It's time to go down this passageway. Don't forget to take the door off to the side and activate the portal; you're gonna need it.
4:58 - The Lake of the Dead. There are multiple paths here, but the one we need to take will be directly in front of after the cutscene.
6:03 - Press Square to open doors. You'll need to fight two enemies before continuing on only to find out that your entire clan is gone. Don't forget to activate the nearby portal!
From here, I explain Kurt Harland's work on most of the music for this game, and I impale some more enemies. Joy!
12:13 - These spiral stairs lead to another area. Go up to the switch with Square to pull and lower a bridge.
13:48 - As you can see, Nosgoth is not a safe place if you're a human. Also, I nearly get destroyed here because the enemies decide to be cheap while I try to keep my energy up. From here, we end up inside a graveyard, which is the home base for Melchiah and his clan of undead vampire offspring.
16:47 - You'll need to push this block into the corner to continue on. Once you do, Raziel will mention his brother Melchiah, whose body is unable to sustain his own flesh and is now some sort of vampire zombie - just like his offspring - as a result. Speaking of which, watch out for enemies popping out of the ground.
18:55 - Work smarter, not harder. By luring enemies into the sunlight, they get destroyed and we make more headway towards not being close to death. The nearby door leads to a spiral staircase leading down to another portal; make sure you activate it.
22:48 - Be ready to glide to the other side. From here, you'll enter a mausoleum.
