GLYPH BATTERIES
These are egg-shaped Glyph energy containers that can be used for
completing a circuit or blowing something up. Glyph Batteries explode
rather easily and can be moved like blocks.
OBTAINABLE OBJECTS
Besides weapons, Kain can collect other useful objects throughout
the game. The objects are:
LORE CHESTS/COFFERS
– These are ancient vampire artifacts that
Kain can collect to increase his own Lore. To open a Lore Chest,
stand in front of it and press and hold
d
.
VAMPIRE WEAPON POWER-UP CHEST
– These increase the
power of whatever weapon Kain is holding. To open a Vampire
Weapon Power-Up Chest, stand in front of it and press and
hold

NEXUS STONE
– Found in the Industrial Quarter level, the Nexus
Stone gives its wearer a special power.
FLIPPING SWITCHES
Switches activate doors and many other things. Some switches can be
turned on and off by a lever, some can simply be pressed, and some are
activated by turning a wheel. To activate a switch, stand in front of the
switch and press
c
. In the case of wheel switch, you may need to press
c
several times to have Kain turn the wheel the correct amount of
times. Remember, not all switches can instantly be activated. Sometimes
you need to do something else before Kain can activate a given switch.
Glyph switches are levers that, when activated, send a glowing green
energy along a Glyph line to make something turn on or off. If you follow
the green energy traveling along the Glyph line, you can trace it to what
the switch has activated.
Some switches are in places that Kain cannot reach. Consider using one
of Kain’s Dark Gifts to activate these switches.
OPENING DOORS
Some doors can be opened easily by Kain, without the help of switches.
To find out if a door can be opened, stand in front of it. If the door glows
a whitish color, it can be opened. Press
c
to open the door.
CLIMBING LADDERS
All ladders can be climbed. Use the left thumbstick to maneuver Kain
so that he walks into the front of the ladder. Once Kain grabs onto
the ladder, press the left thumbstick

to climb up.
MOVEABLE BLOCKS
Some blocks can be moved around to allow Kain access to something
previously unavailable. Stand on one side of a block. If it is moveable,
it will turn white. Press and hold
c
to grab the block, then press the left
thumbstick
*
and
