RESTORING HEALTH
BY FEEDING

Because they are vampiric creatures,
Kain and Raziel’s health drains
continuously and must be replenished
by the blood and souls of their victims.

Note:

Though Raziel’s energy does not

drain in the Spectral Realm, it decays
constantly while he remains in the
physical world.

To feed, hold down 

r

while near

a stunned or vulnerable creature. 

As Kain, the longer you hold down
the trigger, the more blood Kain
will receive.

Kain and Raziel can also forego
the health benefit in order to feed
the Reaver instead, temporarily
augmenting its power in combat. 

To feed the Reaver, press 

Y

near

a stunned or vulnerable enemy.

RESTORING HEALTH
WITHOUT COMBAT

Kain and Raziel have a few means to
recover their health without engaging
in combat or feeding on enemies.

Blood and Soul Basins can be
drained to recover health.

Kain and Raziel can feed from
chained captives without risk
of injury. 

Raziel can also feed on the lost
souls of the Spectral Realm to
replenish his spirit energy.

SETBACKS

Both Raziel and Kain are immortal, and
cannot be killed by ordinary means.
But if they fail to feed, or are wounded
too grievously, they are forced to
dematerialize and suffer a setback. 

Kain bursts into a swarm of bats,
re-forming at his last checkpoint. 

Raziel becomes dissolute and is
swept back to his last checkpoint
in the Spectral Realm.
