Legacy Of Kain: Blood Omen 2 Cheat mode: Press L1, R1, L2, R2, Square, Circle, Triangle at the main menu. Start a new game to begin with the Soul Reaver and Iron Armor. Hint: Draw weapon during a jump attack: During your jump attack, hold L2 then select "Berserk" Release L2 and hold R1. Kain should draw his weapon and hit them with it. Hint: Sneaking up on enemies: Hold L2 during game play to be able to creep up on enemies and attack them. Be careful, as at times enemies may be blocking because they may have seen you. This does work on end Bosses. Hint: Rage attacks: Get your rage bar full. To do this you must block a number of attacks. When your rage bar is full, press R1 + Circle to do the rage attack. It works with Fury, Berserk, etc. Hint: Strong attacks: Pick up the an enemy by pressing R1 + Triangle when close. Press Square(2) to do a light attack. After doing this, press the Analog-stick Up then press Square, which does a large amount of damage to the enemy. Hint: Instant death attack: To do an instant death attack, you must have mist in the area of the person. Enter the mist using your dark skill ability "Mist", then sneak up behind them. A skull will appear. Use this time to attack and you will cause instant death to the enemy. Note: If you run into the front of the person, they will immediately attack. To do an instant kill you must have either the thick sword or the sword ax weapon equipped. Block until an enemy rests, then go to them and press R1 + Triangle to pick them up. Depending on the enemy, you should be able to cut their head off. This will not work on heavily armored warriors. Press Forward + Square to make Kain chop the head off. Hint: Raising Kain's lure: When you encounter a save point, avoid it. Instead, first kill all the enemies ahead. After your satisfied with the amount of enemies you have killed, backtrack to the save point that was skipped and hit it. The game records your current lure level at this point. Next, after the save point is hit, kill yourself. Therefore when you regenerate at the save point, you will have the same amount of lure. All the enemies that you already killed are back. Kill them again and get even more lure. The Relic Boxes also work in the same way. Hint: Defeating Faustus: At first, you are in a small circle room with two doors. All you have to do is face the Boss and hold R1 + L1 (Attack and Block). Wait for him to attack. He has four different types. In the first, he does a five or six hit combo. In the second, he can punch, then kick. In the third, he will just kick. In the fourth, he jumps back with a red glow and lunges forward. When he uses his first type of attack, wait until he punches a third time, then release your block and attack. Repeat this about five times to continue. In the next room you must use the mist form to sneak up to the furnace and burn him. To do this, you must first find the two furnaces with fog in front of them. They are on opposing sides. When you first enter the room, one is to the left and the other is to the right. Run around until he jumps to one of the two, then sneak to the corner and turn mist on. Slowly walk to the switch and fry him. Finally, he will jump around and lunge at you. Just run around until he lunges. This will cause him to eventually fall. Run up to him and use a combo. This must be done about three or four times in order to defeat him. Keep blocking and sidestepping his attacks while finding open spots for attack until you get about one quarter of his life down. Then, he will run off and enter a room will large heaters and mist around them. When Faustus jumps on to a heater, proceed towards the beginning of the mist trail that leads to the heater and pull the switch to hurt him. Keep repeating this procedure until he jumps up on to a chain, then run to a corner of the room and stay there until Fautus jumps down . He will now try to jump and kick you from far away. If you sidestep his attack, he will hit the wall and will be vulnerable for a few seconds. Keep repeating this until he is dead. The easiest way to defeat Faustus is to block until your Fury bar glows and hit him with that. Dodge every time you see him try to use a glyph attack. It only takes two Fury hits to get him to go to the furnace room. Load up the Mist glyph and head to a steam spot immediately. You should be able to turn on the furnaces without taking too much damage running from steam spot to steam spot. Once he gets burned and starts running around the rafters, just run around the edges of the room until you hear him drop down. Try to be near a corner or wall. Wait for him to jump at you, then jump or dodge his attack. Once he hits the wall, he will be stunned. You can hit him with a good combo before he jumps back up to the rafters. Repeat this two or three times and he will die quickly. Hint: Defeating Magnus: Magnus is fairly simple to defeat. When he is standing in the middle of the giant fountain that is surrounded by statues, run and hide behind the closest one. He will try to burn you, but will hit the statue. Jump out and shoot him with Telekinesis very quickly. Once he falls into the water, run behind the next statue until he tries to burn you again and repeat the process until he leaves. It should only take three times. In the next room you will see giant statues holding scythes. Magnus cannot burn you anymore, but he will charge into you. Do not bother hitting him. It does not do any good. Get in front of one of these statues and get him to charge you. When he does, dodge him and he will run into the scythe, breaking it. Once it breaks, you will see a glowing telekinetic switch. Jump onto one of the boulders or platforms so Magnus cannot get you, and shoot the switch. The statue will open its arms. Do that to all of the statues and the gigantic statue in the middle of the room will be put back together. Get Magnus to charge into the base of the weapon that the statue is holding the same way as before. When it breaks, make him charge into the base until the statue falls and crushes him. Just stand next to it and shoot Magnus with Telekinesis. That should make him charge you. When you are fighting Mangus, it is a lot easier if you just grab him and throw him into the giant statues holding scythes. Even if you miss with the throw, he can still bump into them when he is getting up, and they will still break. Hint: Defeating Marcus: You will fight Marcus in a cathedral, on the bottom floor first. On the left and right sides of the room are switches, one on each side. These switches activate bells which disrupt Marcus' concentration and leave him vulnerable for a short time. Hit one switch, then run to the other switch, hitting Marcus on the way. Continue this until his "puppets" disable the bells. Go up to the second floor. Marcus will just run around until you kill him. Use the jump ability to alternate between sides, hitting him on the way. Once he dies, you obtain the Charm ability. Just hit the bell switches and hit him when he is stunned. When his puppets disable the bell, you can still ring it by jumping into it. He is easier to locate that way. Then, just run around killing enemies while hacking up Marcus, occasionally ringing the bell. You can avoid the puppets altogether, but you will want to build up your Lore bar as much as possible. To defeat Marcus follow the previous strategies until his "puppets" break the bells. After this happensm chase Marcus until you run into his "puppets". Kill the puppets, increasing your Lore and Blood bar. He will be on the same floor as his "puppets" -- this will help you learn where his next minion is located. When you find him, use combos repeatedly until he loses. Hint: Defeating the Sarafan Lord: When the battle starts, the most important thing to do is to locate him. When you do, go to the platform across from him so that there is a walkway between you. When he fires the energy orbs, jump above the first one and stay down on the second. Then, jump again on the third. When he is over you will have seconds to use your Telekenisis on him. When you use it, immediately switch over to jump and knock him off the ledge. You cannot be too close to him when you try to jump or he will teleport away. When he has the Soul Reaver out, switch over to Immolate. He only has one set of attacks. He hits you five times, then uses the magic red sword. Block his five attacks, jump back from the sword, and use Immolate on him. This is the only way to hurt him here. Do this three times to continue. When you get the Soul Reaver, he still has the same attack pattern (five hits then the magic punch). Block the five hits and jump straight up in the air to dodge the red hit. When you get down, immediately use the Soul Reaver. You can only hit him one time per round of attack. It will be awhile before you can defeat him. When Kain has the Soul Reaver and the Sarafan Lord does the five hits, dodge the magic hammer blow. Then, grab the Sarafan Lord and thrust the Soul Reaver through his chest. You will defeat him in less than a quarter of the time it would take with one hit on each turn. Once you have obtained the Soul Reaver, build up your special power and use the berserk attack. It will kill him within two hits. After getting Kain's Soul Reaver back, the Sarafan Lord will hit you with his five punch combo and his power punch. Block his five punches and dodge his power punch so you can charge up Kain's "Berserk" attack. When done, just block the Sarafan Lord's punches and side step his power punch, then hit him with the "Berserk" attack. If the Sarafan Lord does not block the attack, just repeat and enjoy the ending. Hint: Defeating Sebastian: When the battle starts, run the opposite way of the mist shooting out of the grates. Jump over when needed. Sebastian will not jump, thus burning himself. In his second phase, you must be directly behind one of the mists and follow it around until it stops. When he grabs onto the wall, put the purple portal object between you and him. He will run directly into it. Do this three times to continue. In his third phase, he will try to destroy the stone. Jump up there so he gets off and charm the peasant in the room to unload all of the mist on the ground. His fourth phase is just a fist fight until the finish. Allow Sebastian to kill you once. Then, allow the game to idle and watch the "steam" appear and kill Sebastian. Enable the "Cheat mode" code. Play through the game and drink everyone's blood, even the civilians. You will need as much strength as possible through the game. Look out for the chests that only vampires can access. When facing Sebastian, make sure you have Jump on, step into the middle, and use it straight towards Sebastian. He should light up red before you jump. That will take away a little power. Then. slash with the Soul Reaver then let him go off on you. Block his first hit, take his second, then hit him with the combo hit by pressing Square(3). Keep doing this until he starts running in the circle. When this happens, note the little circle in the middle of the room. Run in circles around that circle and he will jump in the center and hurt himself badly. Do this three times and he will raise the middle of the floor. Jump up there then turn on Charm. Charm the person in the window who pulls the levers. Once controlling him, pull the lever to the right of the room then press X to get back to yourself. Watch out for the edges and knock him off a few times to win. Hint: Defeating the big mosquitoes: In almost every scene, the enemies have boundaries that they cannot cross. If you find these boundaries, the mosquitoes will be waiting on the opposite side for you to cross back over. Use the jump attack by jumping over and kicking them. Then, before they recover, run back over the boundary line. After four kicks the mosquitoes will die. It is more difficult when there are two waiting for you, but can still be done. Hint: Wharves: Jumping to Rune Knights: Around the middle of the Wharves chapter is a place where you have to constantly jump across a river with one Rune Knight in each area you jump to. Before you jump, hit the Rune Knight twice with Telekinesis. When you jump, try to make the jump indicator red so that you hit the Rune Knight. While he is on the ground, press R1 to draw your weapons or get your claws out. Immediately when he stands, start attacking and catch him off guard. Two hits should be required with bare claws and only one hit with some sort of weapon. Glitch: Stuck in forge: On the ledge in the swamp just in front of the first forge (the dark forge) are some crows. Do not go near them. If you do, you can still get inside but you can never open the door again to get out. Getting out requires an intermission sequence with Voridor. Since the crows are his messengers, if they disappear the intermission sequence will not happen thus, you cannot get out. Glitch: Surprise death: If you completely fill up the purple bar and die or load a game with the purple bar completely filled, your life bar will shrink to nothing and you will die after a few steps. Glitch: Spirits of the dead: At some points in the game, when you have killed someone and go back a little later and are a little bit away from the body, you will see a black image of that person standing above their own body. When you try to get closer, the spirit will disappear and the body will still be on the ground. Glitch: Nexus Stone returns: Immediately after Kain throws the Nexus Stone into the portal and Janos fights somewhat and dies, Kain will turn around and talk to Sarafan. You can see the Nexus Stone is still on his chest, even though he just threw it in the portal. Glitch: In and out of the hovercar: Towards the end when you have to ride the hover car to where the magic spells are being done, you can have Kain in the hovercar. However, when the intermission starts, he is seen walking into it as if he just walked into the room. Glitch: Wrong head: In the last few chapters when Kain encounters the Hilden there are times when you can use your fog ability to chop the standing Hilden characters. However, once you perform the sneak attack and chop off their head, a human head flies up instead of a Hilden head. Glitch: Death grab: When you have a weapon and you kill someone with it, take theirs. The weapon they had will now belong to you, however the weapon you just used will be in the dead enemy's hand, as if they grabbed it.
