  • the moment with the room shifting after Kain pulled the sword out of Raziel made me shit my pants it was spine shivering the background music to that moment didn't help so, i found that horrifyingly epic.

  • I remember playin this shit as a child, all random words, random epicness, awesome music, weird creatures, kain and Raziel... This game was me life.

  • Just concluded this masterpiece of storytelling, and must say I'm really going to procede with the rest of the games

  • Back when vampires werent gay.Awesome series!

  • I...Renounce you *Chills*

  • Such a magnificent and beautiful story. I really miss games like this. :(

  • while I didn't liked these games much (in terms of gameplay) Their story and most importantly their voice-acting was top-notch.

    In fact I don't think there is or ever will be another game with such magnificent work in voice-acting as this serie

  • To get it straight; there is no real order of the games because the storytelling and timeline is overlapping. If you watch a real timeline then you find every single game more than once in it. But it´s not about chronological order it´s about the storytelling order and that would be BO, BO 2, SR, SR 2 and Defiance. But BO 2 is more fun if you know about SR 1 + 2. :))

  • such an epic game I miss this series... Aww my teen years lol

  • Hey .. Can you tel me the order of the games ? Is it :

    Blood Omen,BO2,SR,SR2,Defiance ??

  • @HauntedVeins BO, SR2, Defiance, BO2, SR for the story, and for the game release it's BO, SR, SR2, BO2 and Defiance.

  • @rippler7 Why the hell would you play SR2 before SR?

    Play them in release order and ignore BO2. That's how you play it.

  • @FuzzMD I'm talking about 2 different orders: One is the storyline order, and the other is the game release.

  • @rippler7 storyline-wise it is BO, SR, SR2, (BO2), Defiance

  • @linikratyo That's how the game realease story goes, but the timelined events have a different order. Let's take into perspective the events following events in the timeline (not the game release storyline order): BO, SR2, Defiance, BO2, SR.

  • @linikratyo That's how the game release story goes, but the time-lined events have a different order. Let's take into perspective the events following events in the timeline (not the game release storyline order): BO, SR2, Defiance, BO2, SR.

  • @rippler7 yes but you follow the characters, not the timeline, otherwise it would be: SR2, BO, SR2, Defiance, BO, SR2, BO, Defiance, SR2, BO2, SR. Now that doesn't make sense now does it? So play it storywise(BO, SR, SR2, (BO2,) Defiance) and not timeline-wise.

  • @linikratyo I never encouraged anyone to play in the event-timeline order, but merely explained how the story spans and how the whole story is laid out in a timeline view and compared the order with the game release order. Of course you play it according to the release. I don't think it would require much thought about this, simple logic.

  • @linikratyo I will repeat what I said, I am only showing how the timeline goes. Of course it doesn't make sense if you look at the titles only. The key here is to get to understand how everything comes into place. Hence I showed you how all the games relate to each other in a standard timeline. I'm not sure if you could grasp this thought, probably mind-blown you. The game release order is how you actually play it of course, there's no arguing there.

  • @rippler7 right as long as it is clear the way you should play it

  • 8:23 Snake?SNAKE!?SNAAAAAAAAAAKE!!!­!!!!!

  • only thing i didnt like bout legacy of kain was killing all tha brothers for tha most part they were really cool, regardless still my favorite game series they need to make the series again for the 360 and ps3

  • I kind of wish it had ended diffrently. i still don't know what happened after this.

  • now that i think of it why a blood stealing weapon tried to consume raziel's soul when the soul devouring entity in the blade is him ?

  • is it true that blood omen 2 was caused by soul reaver 2? can someone explain this to me?

  • @rboeger blood omen 2 was caused because Raziel brought Janos back to life in LoK: Defiance. Janos is possessed by the Hylden Lord, who would then use him to start the invasion of Nosgoth, which would culminate into the events of Blood Omen 2. At one point, he imprisoned Janos inside the Device, so that he could feed the machine.

  • Anybody else notice the Ouroboros on the floor of the chamber there? This game is effing classy =D

  • @wooddabers yes i did :'D best thing at that, this is the "edge" of the coin: kain stops the "snake", i.e. raziel/soul reaver, from eating itself

  • depends which director decides to take on the project. Must game to film conversions are terrible

  • what a horrible ending but brilliant story

  • they need to make some films based on this series would easily own twilights cute little ass

  • @futureechoes1

    im thinking bigger. it would own lord of the rings

  • @cjjtheone I doubt a Legacy of Kain movie would be better then Lord of the Rings, but it would be quite amazing. You have to remember that all of our fantasy up until this point is in one way inspired by LotR. DnD was reportedly directly inspired by LotR, and if you play the original Blood Omen, it's a lot like a DnD game with Vampires and a better plot. Without LotR, DnD might not exist, and thus, Legacy of Kain as well.

  • @futureechoes1 Oh my Elder God, yes! D8 I would so love to see Legacy of Kain vampires go up against the Twilight bunch, just to see them get smeared so terribly into the ground!

  • only if dungeon masters nowadays had that great story telling

  • Did anyone notice the Ouroboros mark on the floor? In case someone can't tell the irony, the Ouroboros is the symbol of eternity and also, as in this case, Birth, Death and Rebirth. It's both poetic and hilarious!

  • Kain should have pulled out the sword out of Raziel faster, so that Raziel wouldn't be too much depleted. Now that he's in the spirit realm, he will never get back to life.

  • @VirgilHilts1944 Oh, but he does.  :D In Defiance, the game following this one, he comes out fine.

    Well. Mostly. Sort of. >_> In a manner of speaking.

  • i stil hope that the ending part of the series is stil coming the end conclusion,but im more hoping fore 5-10 years from now a mindblowing ending then a quick fixed crap game in 1-2 years,but ya am al fore remakes of blood omen 1 and soulreaver 1

  • the gameplay in soulreaver 1 was better but the story in 2 was way better then in 1,i like it when a story goes in so manny circles that u exualy need to realy think al the details out to come together in the end:)

  • Kain saves Raziel, Kain never wanna lose Raziel,did you see him how feels in Defiance. ''Raziel? NO!''

  • what exactly is a Sarafan?

  • @gab9876

    It is an order of knights, pretty much like the templars, but are bent on eradicating vampyres.

  • so thats 2's ending

  • Bud i'm pretty sure legacy of kain: defiance was the next part of the series. that's as close as you will get to soul reaver 3 heh...

  • To me, the two strongest parts of this game have always been the dialogue and the storyline. This was back when graphics weren't that strong, so it was the strength of the story that drove the game. Now-a-days though, you have games like Borderlands that have no story whatsoever, and only gameplay driving them.

  • I don't think they should make a new game. I think they should re-make them for newer consoles, once the new technologies have developed.

    A Legacy of Kain with the looks and versatility of God of War or the effects of Gears of War?

    A game like that would be timeless.

  • these games were great storytelling

  • okay so when do you get the reaver? o:

  • how do you get Tyrrel or do you never?

  • he's in LOK Defiance

  • He's the Hash'ak'gikh. You find him in Defiance as this huge monster

  • That was Turel he was simply possessed by the "Unspoken"

  • "Did it trouble you to murder your brothers?"

  • 2:30

    I love how he says "Bastards"

  • Me too... It's kinda funny hearing him swear. x3

  • HIstory Abhors a Paradox.

  • Epic mind-fuckery right here!

    I remember finishing this game and I have no fucking idea what is going on.

    Anyway, I jus wish they could make another Soul Reaver only Raziel in his regular vampire so he is drinking blood not souls plus has his fully formed wings that looked so cool in that opening FMV of Soul Reaver 1.

    Say, PS3/360 may even be able to render the game to that FMV quality for in game.

  • @Treblaine Actually, when Defiance came out, it didn't have any difference in FMV or Gameplay graphics because the way they did the graphics for it was pretty amazing at the time. It was almost as good as the FMV. So it's very possible to have them make a Soul Reaver 2 FMV-quality game in the new graphics engines.

    The problem is getting them to make another game in the series. Fans have been screaming for more for years, but nothing's come of it. We almost got one but it was never finished.

  • one question: if he killed the ones that threw him in the abyss and killed himself shouldn't he die in the end?!

  • At the start of the first one, when that deap voiced tenticle thing pulls you out of the abyse, he also pulls your soul out of the wheel of fait, so no matter what happens, you soul will never return to the wheel and you will never die :D Hence, when you die in the game, you go to the spectrel realm rather than the ater life... Well, they're the same, but you know what i mean ^^;

  • No friend...i don't understand...he just killed himself before he turned into the "soul eater" thingy. He should not exist anymore ;)

  • Raziel has been thrown in the abyss by his "vampire brethren". Here in the past of Nosgoth he kills the humans who will be subsequently revived as these vampires by Kain. Including his former self.

    In short: Raziel makes it possible that Kain creates his vampire sons from the corpses of the Serafan and seals his own execution.

  • Comment removed

  • I have a question does anyone know why did the vampire guy have too stay dead I don't get it?

  • Which vampire guy? Everyone he kills here becomes a vampire, including himself :) Even the 1 guy he doesn't kill's a vampire xD

  • Oh okay I think his name a Jenos Adrons why did he have too stay dead?

  • Ah, Jenos. This hard for me, as I've only played the first game and watched the seconds walkthrough ^^; I think (AKA: Don't know) that he forged the Soul Reaver blade before Raziels soul was trapped in it. He was also hated by the humans, but I can't remember much else about the guy. Maybe someone who's played all 3 (Or 5 including Blood Omen) could tell you ^^;

  • Do you know someone like that?

  • I'm afraid I don't, but if you hunt around for long enough on Youtube, you'll probably find someone with a walkthrough on all 5. If you do, ask them nicely :) The game kind of spirals and loops over itself, so you'll probably end up having half the game descibed to you before the answer becomes clear ^^;

  • Ok thanks for trying.

  • This is why.

    When Kain refuses to sacrifice, the bariere that kept the Hylden out of the Nosgoth weakens, and one of them manages to pass trough. That one posseses Janos Odrin, and with his power and energy, he brings other Hylden to Nosgoth. He calls himself Sarafan Lord, and wages a war in which vampires almost became extinct (his plan was also to eliminate humans and to leave Nosgoth to his kind).

    Kain defeats then in Blood Omen 2, which happens few centuries after BO1.

    Hope this helped.

  • @lakefury Janos must stay dead because if Raziel brings him back as he plans to do, then he will be possessed by the Hylden Lord and cause even more bad things to happen in the future.

    In Defiance, it's revealed that Janos can be brought to life by having his heart restored. His body is in a tomb in Vorador's mansion, and Kain tries to stop Raziel from bringing him back, because doing so sets in motion the events in Blood Omen 2. That's what Kain "remembered" for the first time here.

  • That suicide lol.

  • "You're a righteous fiend, aren't you?"

    "Apparently, I am."

    Love that irony! :D

  • Play blood omen legacy of kain....then soul reaver 1... and u will understand everything!

  • i still have all the games :)

  • Man they ruined the end of this game. because try as they might they could not kill you.

  • They did that because you had to keep the Soul Reaver and could not go into the spectral realm because then the Soul Reaver would manifest itself again. Which would create a paradox since Raziel has to kill all of them with the Blood Reaver so their souls are not reaved or consumed by Raziel and returned to the wheel of fate

  • Yeah they could have used that paradox to throw a game over at you or at least have you do the sequence over. As it was it just wasn't fun.

  • The Soul Reaver series was built up similar to an adventure game. It never gives you a game over, it just sends you to a place that you were at previously. In the case of the first game it takes you back to the Elder God's lair and in the second a pillar that you passed by.

    I think they figured that going in, fighting off like 6 enemies with no chance of being able to heal would have been way to hard for the player at once and would be to frustrating. The last part of the game was hard enough.

  • Thats just it it it wasn't hard at all and if i remember correctly you fought them in groups not all at once.

  • True. But think about it, you have the soul reaver which is a weapon. But you face these enemies in groups of two without the chance of consuming their souls. Most players going through that would get a gameover screen shortly after the first fight. The AI in Soulreaver 2 makes it very easy for them to gang up on you and take out a lot of your health. Which does happen during these battles. (Especially the first one. Both enemies always attack me from the front and behind)

  • This is also true however, this makes little difference after one realizes that they can't beat you. As a matter of fact they can't even hurt you. In this case the flaws of the game designed as an action game come to the surface. I feel it would have better been handled as a puzzle. You must A. get two to kill one another or B. get them to make a mistake that would allow for an instant kill. Even having the event be cinematic would have been a better choice IMHO.

  • sry tony jay died not raziel.he woz the elder god and zephon. sry

  • Tony Jay voiced a LOT of voices in Legacy of Kain. He voiced Mortanius in Blood omen, the Elder god, Zephon and a few others. Though his death caused many to lose hope in another Legacy of Kain. Since he voiced a character in every LOK game

  • also raziel s voice guy died to.

  • Don't spread that shit...Bell is live and kicking

  • ....wrong.

    The guy who did the voice of Elder God died. Mike bell is still alive.

  • Tanelorn isnt wrong lol

  • i wish they made another.

    but bad news the original team waz sacked

  • Eidos is way to big a monopoly to create another LOK game. But it is possible they could sell LOK to another company

  • I... RENOUNCE YOU!!!! EPIC!!!!

  • history abhors a paradox wat does that mean?

  • History hates something that does not belong in it's time stream. It rejects something which exists in that moment but it's not supposed to so it does something to get rid of that anomaly in any way it could because something like that should never have existed at that moment.

  • Paradox is something that cannot be, some people may have diferent meanings for Paradox but that is the most simple explanation. so History abhors a paradox means that History does not accept soemthing that cannot be, like Kain not sacfrificing himself AND the pillars be restored at the same time, it cannot be, but the reaver is the key to make it so... ofc I cannot explain any further since no more games have been made that can explain any further...

  • thanks man heehhe this game just has a deep dialouge some hard to undertands which makes me think 4 a while lol

  • hehe :P yeah this game has the best story I have ever seen in any game, I really want the continuation, hope EIDOS continues with the game... it's just so awesome :P

  • You are wrong, LOK always leaves the story open, and it is not smart to claim that Kain's destiny can not be changed. If Raziel's death was neccessary, it doesn't imlies Kain's is to. Quite the opposite. You have seen the Defiance...

  • good vid. but way out of sync...History abhorrs a paradox...

  • it means every thing has a reason for happening

  • i just beat the game yesterday after ive been working on it for 4 years

  • What, were you trying to set a record by using the controller with nothing but your arse or something?

  • Some of that didn't really make sense. xD

    Like it kinda confussed me, but it was still a good ending. =]

    I think I'd actually have to play the whole game in order to understand what they're talking about right in the end. xD

    Good job. =]

  • the voices don't go in time to the video

  • @forgottenvalley yes, it's because of the wrong frame rate in the recording...

  • @rippler7

    yh capturing can be frustrating
