  • Wonderful !

  • i cry everytime i see one BO legacy of kain video beacuse it reminds me that i cant play it anyomre :(

  • this is the most epic LoK video ever

  • @livedrainer9 thank you very much!

  • @Machinit you're welcome, you deserve all the praise you get from the viewers and those six dislikes are probably just some hylden assholes

  • nvm I remember, he went back in time about 50 years and killed William the just when he had the Soul Reaver which was given to him by Moebius

  • I was just wondering, how did Kain come into possession of the Soul Reaver, it's been a while since I played BO1

  • My god this is an excellent song AND amv, much much praise!

  • Wenn die Gondeln Trauer tragen und es hallt der toten Klagen tief im Nacken das Grauen sitzt Wenn die Uhr beginnt zu schlagen kalte, dichte Nebelschwaden berühr‘n dich sacht ... Loca in ferna in nocte x2 /Animae in nebula (x2)Media nox obscura nox crudelitas animarum campana sonat duo decies Gefriert das Blut dir in den Adern Schnürt dir Angst die Kehle zu Hörst du dein Herz und die Glocken schlagen ist es Nacht ... Loca in ferna in nocte x2 /x2 CHROUS (x4) ....MITTERNACHT!
  • nice video... Vae Vitis is a damnation and a redemption, both together in Kain and Raziel, the first one "saved" by Mortanius, the second "damned" by Kain....

    so It's impossible to establish what does really mean the words damnation and redemption, maybe they're only synonymous or only a way of see the fuckin' world

  • 5/5

  • Quick history lesson - "Vae Victus" was reportedly uttered by Brennus, the Celtic king who captured Rome early in it's history.

    They agreed to leave for a ransom. As the gold was being weighed out, the Romans complained that the weights were unfairly balanced. Brennus threw his sword onto the scales and uttered "Vae Victis" (Woe to the Conquered).

    This even transformed Rome int the super power it would become.

    The Romans never forgot this lesson. It took them 50 years to recover.

  • And 100 years to exact revenge.

    When they did, it was with a new disciplined army that would change the face of warfare - The Roman Legion

  • AWESOME !!!!!!!

  • These games (Legacy of Kain series) are the best games I've ever played in my whole life. *----*''~

  • Brilliantly put together!

  • VAAAE VICTUUUS

  • Nice, very nice!

  • Comment removed

  • A great job of editing :3

  • 5/5

    My fav LoK Vid.

    Well Done

    GBY

  • Woe to the Conquered

  • Wow and all this time I thought "Vae Victis" meant victory lol

  • technically yeah. just a fancier way of saying it.

  • great game,i love it

  • Just curious to know but does anyone knows what "Vae Victis" means. You hear Kain saying it a lot when attacking.

  • Suffering for the conquered.

  • Slightly doggy Latin for "Woe to the conquered."

  • @BrakenDance08 Woe to the conquered

  • @BrakenDance08 vae victis means woe to the conquered in Latin

  • well tony, the voice actor for the elder god is dead

  • @kainsdarkangel yeah but so is the elder god, so it's still possible to continue the story

  • That was epic

  • blood omen 1 was definiatly the hardest in the series

  • I am playing it on my ps3 (PSN classic) and I love it a lot!

  • as you should...also play them all

  • BRING MY FUCKING GAME BACK EIDOS YOU MOTHER FUCKING FAGGETS!. love you.

  • edios*....derp

  • ill say it time and time again. this is the best freakin story ever concieved. the original team behind the game should be rewarded with copyrights to it. KEEP THE STORY GOING!!!! EDIOS you fools!

  • not eidos but square enix

  • @finishlok they cant cause tony jay is dead. he was the voice of the elder god. without him, its just not the same.

  • woah this takes me back!

  • I suggest you to make a music video about Elder God the entity self entitled God and the center of the wheel of Fate, the music is Creature of The Wheel by White Zombie, would be fuckin awesome.

  • ask the elder god for a new game thats our only chance

  • dont know if there will be one because the guy who did the voice of the elder god is dead

  • the elder god is dead though.

  • Not dead, a small part of his huge body as been borrowed, that's all. The Elder God has been stop, but not for long.

  • @S1n1sterTech if the elder god comes back, I bet they could make him silent, or they could find another voice actor with a similar voice

  • awsome video:)

  • what is this song???

    i love it

  • "mitternacht", by E Nomine

  • Kain, my sumpreme emperor:

    I bow my head before you

  • so he can shop it off? lol

  • @AkikosDream

    I'm doing the same! c;<

    ALL HAIL KAIN!

  • Legacy of Kain is such an incredible series. It's only a matter of time before they come out with a sixth game to wrap up the series.

  • Hopefully it wont be long.

  • Awsome video! Faved it!

  • Fantastical!!!!!!!!

  • I do love the game, as well as the rest of the series... but it is sad that they had to rip its very opening from Aleister Crowley's Book f the Law... such a masterful series should not derive from a BS piece of crap work as that.

  • The first game will always be my favorite. What an amazing story.

  • EPICO

  • Nice, but why they aprisioned Kain, and after it him become a vampire?

  • I didn't realize what you wanted to mean...

    Could you rewrite it in a better way? Then I'll be able to answer your question

  • @kaduzit95 nobody imprisoned him, Kain was killed as a mortal, and a necromancer made a deal with Kain that the necromancer would bring him back as a vampire so Kain could exact his revenge on his assassin's, little did Kain know the destiny that lay before him

  • one of the best videos I ever seen about LOK

    5/5

  • Why do parts of that song sound like "They're taking the hobbits to Isengard"? :P

  • @Fillask well it's in German, so I'm sure that's just a coincidence

  • @livedrainer9 I had to dig deep to actually find my comment again from 2 years ago, but I suppose any comment is better than none ;)

    I actually listen to this music (E Nomine) quite often nowadays.. :P

  • That was pretty amazing...When Raziel first comes in everything just matches up with the music so well...I pretty much favorited this...My favorite band and my favorite game....what could be better.

  • The Graphics are great as it is

  • E-Nomin + Legacy of Kain = 5 from me :D

  • Raziel is cool, but let's not forget who the Legacy is really about.

    I want a new game with Kain as an elder. Or maybe an MMORPG where people can join his conquest of Nosgoth

  • RTS with Vampires Kewl

  • if they made a LOK game online i would gladly pay 100 dollers for the game then 30 dolla a mounth

    that would be sooo sweet!

    i got tons of LOK collectables

    like the dolls from players choice, love those!

  • What is an MMORPG?

  • Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game.

  • @Orumon27 they should make an LoK MMORPG 

  • Comment removed

  • @SparkX61 an MMORPG is an acronym for: massive multiplayer online role playing game

  • @livedrainer9 Thanks I discovered that on my own!

  • And this is officially and eternally my favorite Legacy of Kain video in all of youtube!!!!

    Not only is it LOK, it introduced me to E Nomine!

  • what i would give for another Legacy of Kain game...

    I miss Raziel

    the Vampires were right; everything comes full circle.

  • Q: What I Would Give For Another Legacy Of Kain Game...

    A: A Left Nut

    Q: I Miss Raziel

    A: We All Do

    Q: The Vampires Were Right; Everything Comes Full Circle.

    A: For Reals!

  • klassic

  • I use to dream about this shit...kain fucking rocks

  • @Ankaresh I second that, Kain owns so much

  • this was the first very good AMV i ever saw, very nice!! even if its 1 1/2 years old

  • I Agree the Legacy of Kain series has by far the best storyline in a game ever made it taught me the meaning of the word paradox lol:P the voice acting has always been impressive. I think if they were to make another game it should happen on a grand scale now that Kain has realized his purpose as the scion of Balance.

  • No, we can't allow for a next LoK game. The story is finished as it is - in a dark, gothic sort of way. Do you realize what will happen if we allow any major company to remake it? Imagine it going through EA's hands? Raziel would be resurrected, both heroes would vanquish the Hylden and in their wisdom would become benign and benevolent rulers of an idyllic world where humans and vampires coexist peacefully. What we have is a contemplative ending, not the flashy American good guy wins one.

  • huh interesting. I'll admit I never thought of it in that manner. You bring up an excellent point. There is great potential to ruin the story of LoK given that Amy Henning has moved on. Truth be told though, I would dearly love to see the storyline continued. So long as they dont do another BO2. Blech!

  • imo BO2 was a very good game. It made a lot of fun and was my first LoK game. The silence brutality fascinated me. In fact I would rather prefer a new BO game then a SR game. But I also would like to have a second Defiance :)

    aarrchhoonntt (what a name, lol) is right; if someone would continue the story, it would be like CnC and EA: All CnC Games of EA suck a lot.

    A remake of Blood Omen 1 would be another point. I would thank god for it, because the game doesn't run well on my PC :(

  • I agree with your last point. Perhaps if they redid the entire series with better graphics. Perhaps if they made a game based on Malek's crusade would be nice too. There is no right and wrong, only greys. There is so much Nosgothic history I want to find out about.

  • @fedupN dude, BO2 was amazing, it had the perfect balance of puzzles and action, and it was an important part in the story.

  • @aarrcchhoonntt I only want another LoK game if Eidos and Crystal Dynamics do it, and I highly doubt that any other company could do it, especially since Eidos and Crystal Dynamics still hold copyright ownership over the LoK series

  • By far one the best video game series of all time kain a raizel rule

  • Awesome video!!!!!!!!!

  • Wth,i thought it was Woe to the Conquered...Raziel says so,and he's always right!!!!

  • Vae Victis means "Troubles to beaten".

  • No, sorry, i mean "Woa to the beaten" XD

  • what is the meaning of woa?

  • Ehr, well, "Pain" or "suffering".

  • Woe to the conquered actually... Beaten also means conquered.

  • Woe to the conquered actually... Beaten also means conquered.

  • Thank you,thats what i thought

  • @10211111 woe means suffering, or misery

  • @clawmb no it doesn't, play Blood Omen 1

  • Indeed, its Vae Victus not Victis :/ Played since Blood omen 1 so I should know :p

  • I think I've read somewhere that when you say "Vae Victis" it is plural, while the "Vae Victus" is singular. Something like that...

  • Vae victis - plural form.

    Vae victae - feminine singular form.

    Vae victo - masculine singular form.

    Vae victus - misspelled "łątiń" gibberish form.

  • What does it mean or refer to anyway, I'm curious.

  • Wow, vain much.

  • @Tyris1013 dude it's vae victis, vae victus even shows up as a typo, so stop being so smug I've played since Blood Omen as well and I know it's spelled victis not victus, you don't need a video game to figure that out

  • @livedrainer9 you're seriously replying to 3 years old comment..? Douche..

    -And I'm not the only one who mistaken Vae Victus for Vae Vicits, its the way Kain pronounces it and we got used to it.

    No need to be smart-ass

  • @Tyris1013 hey, I'm not being a smart ass, and I know you're not the only person who got that wrong, that's why you're not the only person I corrected, and you were being smug, also Kain only pronounces it vae victus because he has a slight British accent, and don't call me a douche, there's no need for hostility here.

  • 1:47-1:49 look likes Star Wars

  • Kain - "Do you not feel how we have become like gods?"

    This game has one of the best storylines ever. Love it.

    Great video, you used the clips well and the music was great!

    5/5

  • thank you very much :P

  • Eidos needs to get off their fat-asses and complete this damn series. It's an amazing story line; but I believe... no, I KNOW it needs maybe just one more thing to tie it all together and settle a-lot of questions that I'm sure some people have. And yes, beautiful quality, amazing synch, this is one for the ages! (can ya throw me a link so's I can add it to my personal library? include a notepad file to, that way I know who made it!)

  • I agree, they need to make a new one. It'd be great to see a next gen Legacy of Kain. And assuming its set after Defiance, I assume it would star Kain. Its a shame, because Soul Reaver was so much better than Blood Omen 2 (in my opinion), so I'd really like to see Kain get his own really good solo 3D title.

  • yes, it would be very rewarding. it would also need Janos Audrun as a secondary character as well. (I refuse to just take that "he's lost in the vortex" bull.)

  • actually if it were after defiance he wouldn't be lost in the vortex since that was in blood omen 2. check the timeline i'm pretty sure if it was continuing the timeline that was being set by defiance that probably shouldn't happen

  • I agree completely,but it will be hard,with Elder God gone,

  • Well thats true in a way, but then again the major role of the Elder God is to guide and manipulate Raziel, which wouldnt matter. Obviously I understand that he was behind most of the ordeals in Nosgoth, but there could be a new threat of some kind. I faintly remember the ending being half-open for a sequel?

  • Well.... All you saw was Kain lamenting and looking out of the Vampire Citadel onto the now shattered pillars... I guess the next game is to restore the pillars once and for all and recover Nosgoth?

  • As long as there lots of fighting and its still with the story idc what it is.

  • Hear hear!

  • lols

  • Didn't Janos get possessed by the Hilden King or something like that at the end as well? Would Kain's death restore the pillars? Destroying the heart of darkness which keeps Kain and Janos alive would sort of set everything back wouldn't it?

    Ehhh been too long since I played the games to remember correctly.

  • Yeah forget my comment. I read up on it after I posted.

  • Still, bring on LOK:6!

  • Oh yeah, fucking oath! I'd love a real finish to the game. The Hylden haven't even been finished off! Plus seeing Kain on the throne to that world would be awesome

  • @Gindelbi yeah, the Hylden only make one real appearance in BO2, and they weren't even killed in that one, the Hylden must die

  • @livedrainer9

    On the one comment: BO2 wasn't so much as important to the story line as it was interesting and any good story has an interesting side-story. But that's all that BO2 was, a side-story; except for Vorador, none of the other important characters appeared in the game. No Mortanius, Elder God, Ariel, etc. Raziel wasn't in it because this was before Kain sired him.

    On the other comment: Well, to be fair, the only hylden that we saw (the Sarafan Lord) did die at the end of BO2...

  • @Fillask perhaps, still it fills in for what happened after Kain became ruler at least.

  • Vae Victis!

  • best vid ever!

  • Wow awesome whre did you get or i mean whre can i download the Music lol :)

  • I adore this video, the music fits perfectly with the scenes and the whole feel of it is just what I'd expect from a GOOD LoK vide. ^^

    This series is one of my all-time favourites, Raziel being my favourite character, and this is making me love it all over again!

  • The better tribute I ever seen dedicated to my favorite video game.

     I agree "Thanks Silicon Knights for creating Legacy of Kain". And Thanks Machinit for creating this tribute.

  • Vae Victus-"Woe unto the conquered." I knew that from Latin class in high school. Love the tribute to Kain and his "Fallen" empire.

  • @Soultail dude if you really took Latin, then you should know it's spelled vae victis.

  • I am hoping for a sort of cross between Elder Scrolls:Oblivion and Knights Of The Old Republic II, an epic action/RPG where you can explore a huge rendering of Nosgoth, and play through various periods in it's history, such as the Hylden/Ancient vampire war, The Binding, and the hieght of Kain's empire and establishment of the Clans.

  • Even with Amy Hennig having moved on and Tony Jay having sadly passed on, I don't think Defiance was the end. This series is to loved. Read the interesting thread about the supposed movie on Nosgothic Realm. A person who worked on Tomb Raider Legends is asked if there will be a new LOK (there were LOK easter eggs in that game) and he says that he knows, but cannot tell, which is close enought to "yes" for me.

  • Kick ass vid and song, this crushes my skull into mush!!! cant wait for a new LOK game, you can bet Defiance was not the end.

  • For a media to become timeless it must posess at least one trait that in ten or twenty years will still remain above average of what will be produced. The LoK series have a storyline I could freely compare with Planescape:Torment, Max Payne, Fallout or Deus Ex. Unlike most Next Generation games, the storyline is more than just a few meaningless sentences the marketing guy came up before the manual was about to be printed and the voice acting is not just a way to appeal

  • to lazy players who would suddenly get smarter and learn how to type if they would be forced to read anything more than a beer label. LoK is a work of art, an intricate storyline, a real, dark and immersive world - it doesn't feel like Mortal Kombat but like a dark, cruel, real world - take the example of the final battle of Soul Reaver 2 - a battle of trivial difficulty but tremendously engaging emotionally.

    The cold words "I renounce you" are still in my memory.

  • So true, I agree completely, no other game has come even remotely close to capturing my imagination

  • I watched it then, I watch it now. Still that good!

  • yes, legacy of kain is timeless! thank you :)

  • Timeless you say? Yes, that is pretty much the truth. Such a wonderful series of game it is! I want another one now! And a movie would be nice... with a decent manuscript NOT created by Uwe Boll. Then I'd be happy. :)

  • Oh yes a movie wouldbe great :D

  • Well, they translated a bit loose in the game, but its suppose to mean "Woe to the vanquished" or also "Woe to the conquered".

  • what exactly does Kain's battlecry "Vae victis" mean? it sounds latin

  • great

  • Mhm.. Perfect. Though, the sinister laughter sounds exactly like Vorador.

  • Favourited.... too bad you can only favourite it once. Man, this made me get hooked into blood omen again, thanks, 5/5

    I'd give you a 10/5 but... yeah

  • EXCELLENT work,great music,5*****

  • Truly marvelous, the best choice of music among any LoK clip.

  • As Raziel descended into the whirlpool the dramatic music and powerful choir matched the events more than in the original intro, and as he entered the chronoplast chamber I could swear I heard "Redeemer and destroyer" Amazing clip, perfect music and synchronization, perfectly captures the mood.

  • you truly catched the sense of it all! ;)

  • the best music video from lok posted ever!

  • woah, that's a big compliment! thank you ;)

  • this video grows on me the more I watch it. nice job and legacy of kain pwns

  • great music i would give it a 12

  • Good video the name of the song

    E Nomine - Mitternacht

  • Nice video. gj!

    Vae Victis!!!

  • Pretty kick ass

  • This is superb! I mean you captured the feel of it all

  • that is always my aim, so this is a compliment that I appreciate very much, thanks :)

  • awesome job with this vid. might we ever see more like this? =)
