1.General Tips
1. When you enter a new town search every house. There you
can find nifty items.
2. When you get the option to fly to the next dungeon, walk
instead. There could be important items or spells on the
way to the dungeon.
3. If you're almost dead, use a heart of darkness while you're
alive instead of when you're dead. That way you'll get more
blood.

2.Spells
Sanctuary : This spell returns Kain to his crypt. Use this
spell when you're low on HP.
Light : Illuminates the whole area for a short period of
time.
Energy Bolt : Fires an energy bolt, which is very usefull. It
isn't very strong, thouch.
Repel : I think this is the best spell in the game. It
protects Kain with an energy shield, making him
invulnerable for a short period of time. Even to
poison. I recommend using this spell very often.
It's very usefull when fighting bosses, and
enemies with poisonous attacks
Inspire Hate: Causes enemies to attack themselves instead of
Kain. Very usefull with lots of enemies around
you.
Stun : Stuns enemies with one blow, making it very easy
for Kain to feed on them.
Incapacitate: Stops an enemy in his tracks for a short period
of time.
Control Mind: With this spell Kain can take over any HUMAN
mind until the body dies.
Blood Gout : With this spell, Kain can drain blood from his
enemy, without even hitting him. Be carefull
though, you musn't use this spell on enemies
who's blood is green. Always check the blood
before using this spell.
Blood Shower: Same as Blood Gout, but drains blood over a
larger area striking all the creatures in that
area.
Spirit Death: A projectile, which seperates the soul from the
body leaving your enemies dead.
Lightning : Summons lightning to hit enemies. This spell
must be used outdoors.
Spirit Wrack: Same as Control Mind, but this spell allows Kain
to control a creature's Spirit.

3.Items
Heart of Darkness : When Kain has died, this item brings him
back to life, with a small amount of
blood. When Kain is alive, it gives him a
larger amount of blood.
Flay : Blades, which track their enemies down,
stripping the skin of their bodies
Implode : Causes an enemy to shrink, crushing every
bone in it's body.
Slow Time : Causes enemies to move more slowly.
Font of Putrescense: Dissolves enemies into a poisonous pool.
Energy Bank : This item lets Kain use unlimited amount
of Magic for a short period of time.
After that period, Kain magic bar will be
completely empty.
Pentalich of Tarot : A random mixture of 5 interesting deaths.
Anti-Toxin : Cures Kain of green blood, which is
poisonous.
--------------------------------------------------------------
4.Equipment
ARMORS
Iron Armor : This is the armor you begin with. It has no
special powers, but offers the most protection
against damage.
Bone Armor : This armor isn't very strong, but because you
look like a skeleton, lower undead lifeforms
won't attack you that fast.
Chaos Armor : This armor also isn't strong, but causes some
enemies to receive the blows as well.
Flesh Armor : This armor is the weakest. It automatically
drains the blood of slain enemies. Watch out for
green coloured blood!
Wraith Armor: At night, this is the strongest armor. In day
light, it's useless.
Armor Location
--------------------------------------------------------------
Iron Armor Start
Bone Armor Tunnels of Coorhagen
Chaos Armor Vorador's Mansion
Flesh Armor Dark Eden
Wraith Armor Avernus' Cathedral
WEAPONS
Iron Sword : This is strong weapon. It is also quick, but it
is not the strongest weapon.
Spiked Mace : With this weapon Kain can strike two blows in a
row. The second one stuns an enemy, so Kain can
feed.
Axes : These are very strong. Push the button once and
Kain will stike one time. Hit the button twice
and Kain will strike two times. Hit it several
times and he will strike several times. And if
you go beserk on the button, Kain will go beserk
too. You can't use a spell or items while using
the axes.
Flame Sword : Use this blade to burn your foes. It's stronger
than the iron sword, but when you've burned your
enemies, you can feed on their blood.
Soul Reaver : This is the strongest weapon, altrough not the
best. This blade tears the soul of an enemy
apart. The two bad things of this weapon are,
that it's two-handed and it uses magic points.
The stronger the foe, the more magic points it
uses.
My favorite weapon is definitely the flame sword. I know you
can't drain blood, but if you play well, you won't need to.

Iron Sword Start
Spiked Mace Nupraptor's Retreat
The Axes Malek's Bastion
Flame Sword Flame Dungeon
Soul Reaver Avernus' Cathedral

5.Forms
Bat : This form allows Kain to travel to specific placs of
Nosgoth, where he has been ready. This could be a
dungeon, town or landmark. Kain can't use bat form
in a dungeon.
Wolf : With this form Kain moves a lot faster and can jump
over obstacles. When fight however, he is very slow.
Disguise: At first Kain has the diguise as a peasant. With
this disguise he can talk to normal people. The form
can be upgraded to "Beguile", giving him a look of
nobility.
Mist : This form allows Kain to move over water, through
some doors and cracks in walls. This form needs the
most amount of magic points to contain.
Form Location
--------------------------------------------------------------
Bat North/west of Energy Bolt Shrine
Wolf Wolf Cave
Disguise Gypsy Camp
Mist House of Mist
--------------------------------------------------------------
6.Special places of Nosgoth
Mooncaves : These cave only open when the moon is
full. As soon as dawn breaks they
close. When you're walking in a
mooncave and the sun is coming up, it
closes when you leave the cave.
Locations of Mooncaves:
1. South of Nachtholm
2. East of Nachtholm
3. North of Steinchencroe
4. South of Coorhagen
5. South/west of Beguile cave exit
6. West of William the Just's Stronghold (present)
Caves of Spirit forges: In these caves you can get artifacts
if you sacrifice a bit of your own
blood. These caves can often be found
in a mooncave.

spell, Serpent Temple). Listed below are the backdoor
entrances of each Spirit Forge.
