    Fun little thing. If you use cheat codes to unlock the phase through objects ability before the Melchiah battle, you can get him to chase you outside of the boss arena. I do it every time, because it's pretty funny to kite him around, and watch his model struggle with the environment.

    One of your best lore bites videos yet! Melchia and his clan are among the creepiest enemies in the series. The lore is dark, gruesome and fascinating. It fits so well with the Nosgoth universe established in Blood Omen.

    Im a younger Lok fan whose only experience of the franchise is watching the cutscenes and lore videos on youtube, but if they ever do remakes of Lok i personaly think they should do Soul Reaver 1 first it would be perfect to draw in new fans because the story dosent require knowledge of Blood Omen to understand the basic jists of it. But if you do know Blood Omens story you get alot of i know what thats refrencing moments out of it. Plus imagine how stunning the enviroments would look if it was made in Unreal Engine 5 And a remake could potentialy ad in cut content and ad in lore elemenrs from the later titles like Defiance

    Remembering when I first time playing this game, I had a problem fighting the first boss only to know that it involved using environmental "weapons" against him (and the rest of the "brothers"). And thanks for the backstory of Melchiah, I didn't even know his deformed body is actually the body parts of his victims! He literally looks like The Thing would have looked like on the PS1!

    12:50 I don't think that's Malek. I think it's the priestess. I mean, she was supposed to be in the game and the developers likely didn't have enough time to cut her out

    Funnily enough, the developer that created the screen did say it was the priestess when initially asked but then corrected himself to say he'd got it wrong and it was actually meant to be Malek.

    Nice video. I always felt sorry for the sort of Vampire Melciah became and I often wondered how he did not want to end his existence earlier. The funny thing is that if he was turned into a vampire through Janos and Vorador's method he would never have had the physical problems he had to endure as a vampire. That being said I don't think their method would have worked on him as I think it only worked on living humans. I assume Kain was never shown how to create a vampire like Janos and Vorador did hence he had to come up with his own method which was probably similar and based on Mortanius's method as it seemed Kain's method only worked on corpses. I know Kain's method was sort of explained in the Soul Reaver 1 manual but they never seemed to explain how Vorador and Janos did it. I often speculated that Mortanius's method was similar to Janos's method because he was originally kidnapped himself to become a vampire and maybe he witnessed the process of how humans were turned and as a result, he made his own method based on what he saw. Maybe it involved both the blood of the sired vampire and its soul or life energy because Mortanius needed Janos's heart to create Kain and I assume this was because it contained his soul or at least a portion of it and he used necromancy to do the rest as he did not have vampire blood to work with.
