Note: This game is also known as: Blood Omen 2
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Cheat mode: Quickly press [Block], [Auto Face],
[Dark Gift Menu], [Looking Around], [Action], [Use Dark Gif, [Blood

cheese" to confirm correct code entry. Immediately start a new game and
you will have the Soul Reaver and Iron Armor.
Invincibility: Note: This procedure involves editing a game file;

edit the "game.erg" file in the "data" folder in the game folder. Remove
the hyphen "-" character from the line:
"-BO2 Kain Debug Flags\kain's invulnerable"=1
so it now appears as:
"BO2 Kain Debug Flags\kain's invulnerable"=1
