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],

If done at the proper speed, Kain say "Go 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; create a backup copy of the file
before proceeding. Use a text editor to 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
