  • I think out of all the brothers, Melchiah suffered the worst evolution

  • I find it strange that Melchiah was still able to talk after his whole body was turned into ground beef.

  • Is it just me or does Melchiah look like some deformed Wookie?

  • man i played this game sooo much when i was in high school. i still have it and havent touched it in years. i think im gonna go play it now.

  • 1:40 using the old rancor trick eh

  • Why does Melchiah live right next to a giant meat grinder? I think I would have found a better place to live. Low-income housing may be cheap, but it could cost you your life.

  • did anyone else hear at 3:30 when Melchiah died he said "I'm release!"

    Or was I the only one???

  • @234Assassin Well it was "I'm released" He was glad to to be released from his "revolting" form. A unique parallel to Raziel, who too found his new form to be horrid, but unlike Melchiah, he could NOT escape from it.

  • @234Assassin yes he did

  • i'm probably mistaken, but isn't it 'melchiah"

  • @DasFunkwagen Yep - typo on my part. :)

  • @Joudas thanks for correcting! :D

  • @DasFunkwagen I aim to please! ;)

  • Kain's lieutenants degenerated because Kain used a part of his soul to create them and passed on the pillar guardians' corruption. (As the guardian of balance he was affected by it.) They used the same method to create their clans, further spreading it, thus their offspring became corrupted, as well.

    Malchiah received the smallest part of Kain's soul, the smallest amount of power, and could not stop the natural decay. Thus his skin suit.

  • Comment removed

  • he scared me to! no he didnt stop being childish -.- with the he scared me who cares about that? my question is why do they transform? and is kain gonna transform and raziel would transform to?

  • @dskull2000 Lol.Allow me to give ya the answer.They transformed as a result of their evolution.Kain and Raziel will not transform .You like this game btw?

  • @MostazalsLord well thats not the answer i know why they transformed now. if i like the game... well i like legacy of kain blood omen defience and blood omen 2 i dont realy like soul reaver 1 becaus eof the graphics and soul reaver 2 because i hate repeating the same places over and over. bdefience is a bit like that tho.

  • @dskull2000 Isnt it?Well,which one is the answer then?Cuz im pretty sure mine is right(though i guess Malchiah is this horrible because of his natural decay,since he was the lesser of the brothers)

  • This game is so much better then 2.

  • OMG I remember playing this part. It scared me so bad i had my dad play the rest of the game for me. and that was about 11 years ago. now im 15.

  • Anyone else thinks the boss sounds like yoda?

  • '' ...you are the last to die '' so true, in more than one way.

  • But why this motherfucker is SO big ? T-T

  • @Msimjustawatcher He may have an ugly body, but Melchiah has a beautiful soul! This is just a lesson in saying that life is not all about looks. XD

  • Will He Blend? That is the question.

  • @Shinchibi Yes! He blends!

  • @Joudas melchiah gets blended and dumah gets put in a giant george foreman grill

  • Possibly the best kill in the entire game. All the others seemed kinda lame and uninspired before this one. It's simply brutal.

  • He's melchiah not mAlchiah. Love the cutscene though. Incredible voice acting.

  • I think this dialogue proves that after Raziel was killed... his clan was also destroyed by Kain and the rest of his Lieutenants... its what makes more sense.

    But if Raziel's clan did survive, i like to think they would become something like Gargoyles... flying beings.

  • First time i play.. i dunno how to beat malchaiah. But when i know it.. so easy

  • Very cool game

    After u kill melchaia what u do to go to next zone

  • Malchiah go squish

  • Malchiah scared me when I was a child T___T

  • me too but not as much as Zephon's territory

  • You two are both correct. Take it from me, a kid. Melchiah is freaky with my TV. The sharpness can't be adjusted so it's very high up. Zephon's sight is another way to say turn off the TV or put on a blindfold.

  • @NejiCadiz

    Me too :S I used to get terrified when he stopped chasing you and you had to go find him and lure him back to a gate

  • @NejiCadiz same here he scared me to when i was a kid

  • @wisnisk

    me too

    but when I was a kid zephon scared me more

  • @NejiCadiz

    me also

    the sight of malchiah makes you go eww.. -x-;;

  • dude why are raziels bros like fugly now?

  • @MiniMarcify they evolved, or devolved.

  • Dude Im at this part, well just after it anyway, Im fuckin lost. I just bought it on PSN a while ago. But yeah I dont get this game, dont know what to do now. Where the hell is his old clan place? it said I have to go there or something.

  • the clan sanctuary is over by where you first start, the large building by the abyss in other words

  • IT'S MELCHIAH FFS!! --__--

  • but see i felt bad for Malchiah becuz i think that him and raziel were closer then any other brother

  • I love the script of the legacy of Kain games!

  • Quite possibly one of the most gruesome deaths I've seen in a game. To be turned into mincemeat in a grinder like that. All I can say to that is

    FUCKING OUCH!!!

  • at 0:24 on Melchias left (or on are right) shoulder and right hand theres like 2 human bodys there.

  • Yep. From what I've read, Melchiah had to stitch the bodies of his victims into his own to maintain his body. As Raziel stated earlier, Melchiah was the weakest of the vampires that Kain raised, so despite his immortality, his body couldn't sustain its own flesh.

  • I figured out somthing yesterday.

    We all know that the heart of darkness was used by mortanias to reanimate Kain, but Raziel ripped it out of Janous Ordrin, many years before dosn't that make Raziel older than Kain. (just a thought.)

  • Human Raziel was alive a long time before Kain, but spent a few hundred years dead before Kain raised him - so I suppose it depends whether you're looking at his age as the amount of time since his (human) birth, or the amount of time he spent alive.

  • @Joudas Since birth and time alive is the same thing.

  • Not in Janos' case! He spent hundreds of years dead, between when Sarafan Raziel tore out his heart, and 'real' Raziel put it back in. So time since birth is in his case much longer then total time spent alive. :) Same thing with Raziel - he was killed (by himself...) and spent hundreds of years dead before Kain resurrected him.

  • @Joudas Are you serious... Janos is an Ancient... who can tell how many centuries he was alive before he was killed? At least a thousands plus years, considering Vorador... and besides between his death and ressurection "only" 500 years passed...

  • @SoulRippster I fail to see how this is relevant. He could have been alive for a bazillion years before he was killed - spent 10 minutes dead - and been resurrected again, then lived another bazillion years. His "time since birth" is still 10 minutes longer than his "time alive". If the amount of time he spent dead is greater than zero (which it is), this is true.

  • @coreybusby JANOS AUDRON --__--

  • I've always had a hard time spelling his name.

  • 3:29

    OWNED!!

    Legacy of Kain is one of the best Playstation Series....

  • nice this one was my favorite brother boss

  • His name is Melchia....

    With "e"

  • Raziel was such an arse to his brothers.

  • They did cast him into a lake of fire for what they intended to be an eternity you know.

  • Yeah, shit does happen XD

  • Poor Melchiah, I felt sorry for him. =(

  • I swear, when that thing crawled out of the shadows for the first time, it scared me shitless.

  • Dude the first time I played SR1 i was like 9 years old, and it was at night. When I saw melchia for the first time, I almost got a heart attack. I turned off my ps1 immediately... and decided to fight him during the day when its bright.... lol

  • poor melchiah. He really thought he was ugly. For good reason too lol

  • How come all the vampires turn in monsters?

  • The corruption that Nupraptor inflicted upon all members of the circle upon discovering Ariel dead spread to all of Kain's "children" when he made them, and eventually caused their devolution.

  • And as a result, they all became ugly, ravenous mutants. But why would it not affect Kain like that, too? After all this time, he looks exactly the same as in the intro.

  • @Nintendoman01

    Well I dont want to spoil anything because idk if you have played the other games, but i'll just say that kain was unchanged (at least in a bad way) because he is 'pure' he is 2nd (or so) generation vampire, and his lieutenants are 3rd gens so they are even further removed from the original ancient vampires. Closer to demons trapped in corpses than the noble vamps. I could tell you exactly why kain is unchanged but without revealing important info i cant say much more...

  • @TextingKangaskhan I have played the other games, and I get it. Thanks.

  • Catch him if you can, slowpoke!

  • no me costo mucho derrotarlo para ser el primero ...... chile ( chañaral )

  • Melchiah is the ugliest character in the whole Legacy of Kain series. Even in his vampire form he is ugly and all sewing exactly like a living corpse.

  • i enjoyed collecting souls in SR1 i didnt so much like the second one coz it was about getting enhancements 4 the reaver i prefered gaining new abilitys

  • Raziel menacingly - "answer me ~little brother~ or I will BEAT an answer from your horrid lips".

    The voice acting in this is phenominal, video games lack this kind of quality now-a-days.

  • Voice acting is great. Games do lack this now a days... so play mass effect!!!!

  • Most video games lack this kind of quality voicework even in soul reaver's day.

  • @bawokoroma

    That would imply that video games consistently had that kind of high-quality voice acting back in the day. LoK was phenomenal with it, though. It was like a world filled with monstrous English majors.

  • @bawokoroma With the exception of Darksiders, but that's only one game.

  • @bawokoroma And those lips were horrid. Sunblock, chapstick, and plastic surgery couldn't help those lips.

  • lol! can you see the faces on his body

  • You weren't very good at fighting Melchiah. It took you twice as long as it was supposed to.

  • Canned response: These videos aren't a skill demo or speedrun. Their purpose is to catalogue the cutscenes in the games. If you find the player skill to be lacking, make a video of it being done better and submit it as a response. I'll accept it and you can prove to the internet how big your ePeen is. Until then, kindly shut the fuck up.

  • Hey whoa whoa whoa. I was just submitting a small bit of critiscm. If I wanted to piss you off I would have degraded you personally. I was just commenting on the length and the content shown. You don't need to all of the sudden take everything personally and bash someone who submits some critiscm your way

  • If you'll take a look through the videos here, each of the many, many people who submitted the exact same or similar criticism got the same response. And each who does in the future will, too. Sorry if it wasn't meant that way - but you've got to understand how much I get that.

  • i think you did it right dude, when people watch these vids they don't wanna see it done it two seconds flat. I watched it because i havent played Sould Reaver since i was a little kid and i wanted to remind myself how awesome it was, nice work for postin it man :)

  • Hey Joudas thanks!! I admire all the work you did here, it has been three years and I still keep watching your LoK videos:) and yeah I agree with

    iamtheSteunit we don't want speed runners and crap normal gameplay like yours is more preferable.

  • You are a nidiot daseek3r. Also: this boss was scary till you figured out how to beat him:D

  • this monster is so stupid lmao....

  • Malchiah go squish

  • This Malchiah reminds me of Turel in SR Defiance

  • They were brothers you know. All deformed for the same reasons

  • Ah yes malchiah a deformed shell of his former self

  • Melchiah was the weakest brother and was already a shell of himself as a vampire. Since his flesh was always peeling off

  • old times, miss them

    my mom helped me to defeat Malchiah :D

  • Comment removed

  • how can he still talk after that lol

  • Coz its a fucking game set a fantasy world fucking idiot.

  • you have to admit, soul reaver is very original

    BTW i forgot the story of this game for years,

    how was raziel's brothers changed into disfigured creatures?

  • Negative mutations and flaws when Khaine gave them vampiric gifts that their forms couldnt handle.

    It should be noted tough that Melciha recived his weakes *gift* and that caused his and his offsprings bodies to rot like corpses even tough they where undead, and thus they had to take the skin of those they slayed.

  • and what was raziel's gift supposed to be?

  • He was the first one to recive the gift, and therefore he got the strongest one, he just also happened to be the only one who grew wings, just like the ancient pure blood vampires.

  • I think you mean KAIN and Melchiah!

  • this fight made me shit myself when i was like 6 years old!

    im glad he couldn't move faster or even jump at you! O.o

    lol that would have given me nightmares lol

    ( not anymore though )

  • iknow. He might be easy to beat gameplay-wise but man is he unsettling.

  • ha! juiced!

  • My question is how could Raziel Recognise his brother in this vid. He looks nothing like the vampire that stood next to kain in the opening movie. Raziel must have some really good vision in his ghoul/Hyldan form.

  • No Raziel probably relaized it was melchiah because Melchiah asked if he didn't recognise and also called him Brother. Plus he was in Melchiah's territory.

  • more so, his symbol is all over the place, since Melchiah calls him brother as well, it gives out more of a hint.

  • Melchia told him "don't you recognise me brother, am i so changed?" and Raziel mas in Melchia's clan territory. He was probably able to figure this out by himself

  • good moves

  • i agree i was 6 and i had a playstation1 when i played the game and i never got to malchiah and i never know malchiah could go to the spectral realm and my brother and i agree it would be awesome if kain and raziel was on soul calibur 4

  • 1 of the best games ever

  • One of the greatest games ever made.

  • sweet memorys :D

  • i love this fight

  • Brightness issues

  • yeah, zephon, rahab, Turel in defiance.

    No, you can only play as raziel in soul reaver, although kain is a boss battle, and you fight him twice. Soul reaver 1 & 2- play as raziel. blood omen 1 & 2- play as kain.

    Defiance is the only one in which you play as both.

  • yeah...they didnt actually respect sequel thing.

    Im not quite sure...but i think this is the order:LoK Blood Omen  Lok Soul Reaver Lok Blood Omen 2 Lok Soul Reaver 2 Lok Defiance

  • It's complicated. in Kain's and Raziel's personal timeline, it goes blood omen 1, Blood omen 2, soul reaver, soul reaver 2, defiance, but in nosgoth's timeline, it's more complicated, as in soul reaver 2 and defiance, they travel in time a lot

  • In Blood Omen 2 Kain looks young, and in soul reaver 1 and 2 he looks old... so doesn't that mean blood omen 2 is the story BEFORE the soul reavers? And what happened to the series? I was hoping for a brand new hit of the series... :( i guess not... cuz theres still alot of the story to reveal.

  • its complicated, in kain's and raziel's personal timeline (that is if you followed them about through their lives) it oes blood omen, blood omen 2, soul reaver, soul reaver 2, defiance. But they time travel a lot, so in the chronology of nosgoth, it is different. Defiance actually ends in a time period somewhere between blood omen 1 and blod omen 2

  • it is a great game,one of the best.

  • I play this game in Spanish, and this game is excelent¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

  • you know i was tooling it around in my head and ive decided that kain and raziel sjould have been in Soul caliber 4 instead of DV and yoda. Think about it raziles blue like blue ray and kain is green like everything xbox related, also id like to see raziel and nightmare agruing over souls

  • agreed. That would have been F*ckung awesome!!!

    How is kain green? i'd say he's hind of cream coloured

  • they should remake it but just update the graphics

  • yeah!

  • remake blood omen 1

  • Man... I was so freaking disappointed that Raziel's clan was extinct.

  • ya smash vista

  • i hear there is some problem installing soul reaver on xp and vista,does anyone know how to fix it?

  • Hard to believe that Malchiah was also voiced by Michael Bell (Raziel).

  • fatality

  • i was like 9 when i played this. and i never noticed that their lips didtn move when they talked, its just weird i dint noticed taht.

  • Tomb Raider 4 was one of the first games on ps1 that have the lips moving, for me it was like "hey did u check TO4 graphics the lips are moving!" although it wasnt a real lips it was a sprite;\

  • maybe because you were so into the game you didnt care to notice! lol.

  • Malchiah is one of the scariest vampire brethrens in SR1

  • yea I used to find zephin territory scary too

  • i always got scared of magnus cause he almost got me i was only 4 when i saw lok seires

  • Melchiah,is the scariest character in the LoK series,i remember when i first saw him when i was 7years old with my cousin who was 9 years old, we tried to attack him, like a newby and simply didnt touched him, then my he attacked and lost 90% of stamina,but the wost thing was that then my cousin said "CHANGE WORLDS",and i though i was safe in the spirit world,but then bam melchia attacked me.Jeez surely this guy is freaking scary

  • i dont know much about the whole chain of gems all i know is about defiance

  • so Malchiah didn't even liked himself.  that's why when he dies he says "i am released"

  • who wants to be an ugly as sin monster with no legs o.o

    I'd be happy to be "released" too.

  • i love this game so much...

  • it's one of the best PS1 Games^^

  • I once had it on the Dreamcast.

  • i do too. i still play it even though I beat it like 9 times. a great story!

  • It never gets old.

  • It took me ages to figure out that you had to close those gates on him, but when I did I won in a couple of minutes

  • To make this even creepier, we should all keep in mind that Melchiah and his offspring are so fucked up that they have to steal body parts and skin off of corpses in nearby graveyards JUST to keep themselves intact.

    What made this battle truly scary for me was how safe I THOUGHT I was in the Spectral Realm when I got whooped. Still scares the crap out of me.

  • yeah I switched realms so that he wouldn't hit me and I could regain some health, the twat hit me once and I died, I was almost on full health as well!

  • Yup. POLE7645 is right. It came out for the PS1 (or in my case the original PSX) before the other systems. I've never played SR1 on anything else besides the PS1.

  • damn, i didn't remember how fucked up he looked since i played this years ago. i might start playing it again!

  • Man I love this game to bits! even after after beating the game like 100 times I can't get enough of it ^_^ thanks for uploading the scenes! there brilliant!!

  • This Part took me so long to beat!

  • raziel"s steps are so anoying

  • I used to have both the pc and psx version,shamefully enough i lost both :|

    Oh well going to start playing the Soul Reaver ''Trilogy'' since i never really got past Malchiah :P

  • poor you :( ;|

  • Yeah there is i used to have it till my brother broke it. That when i got in the games.

  • Oh, I remember how alone I passed it almost 6 years ago: (

  • It originally came out on PS1 and then ported to PC and Dreamcast.

  • Actualy it was made for the Playstation one, back in 1999, the day of release was August 17, 1999. I have the game right here on my desk so please dont say it never was made for the PS1. Was one of the best PS1 games out back then and the graphics were awsome!! Love Raziel and Kain's story. Love this series.. Edios needs to give more money to Crystal Dynamics and make a new one.

  • Your right dude,I bought Soul Reaver for the PS1,And for some reason i later bought it for the PC too,Maybe it wasnt that popular in some parts of the world on the PS1,Who knows...

  • i played it first on psone, they shoud make lok 6

  • they should make a remake for blood omen 1 and soul reaver 1 for ps3/360

  • they really should

  • FUCK YEAH!!!
