PlayStation 1 Gameplay Review Legacy of Kain Blood Omen

During the journey, Kane, a human noble, was killed by a gang of assassins. Mortanius gave him the opportunity to take revenge; Cain nodded and woke up like a vampire at all costs. After killing his attackers, Mortan told him that although they were the instruments of his death, they were not the primary cause. To find the truth and cure his vampire curse, Kern travels to the Pillars of Nosgoth.

There, Ariel explains that she must destroy all nine circles before peace can be made. Kane first tracked down and killed the Nupraptor, then confronted Malek, but their duel ended in a stalemate. To defeat Malek, Cairn sought advice from the Oracle of Nosgoth. The Oracle warned him about the Legion of Vengeance and told him to seek out Marek's old rival, Volado. When the two meet, Volado congratulates Kane and offers to help, but urges the newborn to embrace the vampires and stay away from human affairs.

Pursued by the old vampire, who would be an example if he did not find a cure, Kane persevered and, in a decisive battle, Volardo defeated Marek, while Kane killed Druidbe Enhe's energy master, De Joule. Later, after he kills Azimuth the Planer and recovers the time flow device, Ariel tells Kane to prioritize fighting Nemesis, whose army threatens to capture Willendorf. Kane convinced King Ultramar to rally his army against the Legion in a final battle, but the battle proved disastrous. Ultramar is killed, Willendorf's forces are defeated, and a distraught Kane escapes using a time transportation device. Go back 50 years and kill time's newest nemesis, the beloved Judge King William, causing a temporal paradox that knocks the Legion out of the time stream. But when Kane returns to the present, he discovers that William's murder has sparked a new vampire purge.

Revealed to be a member of the Oculus, the Oracle of Nogta, Time Streamer Moebius, he led the genocidal crusade and directed Kane's actions from the beginning to complete his trap by executing Vorador. Kane killed Mobius, but he was the last of his kind. At the pillar, he sees Mortanius arguing with the alchemist Anacrotes, who reveals that Mortanius was the guardian and responsible for the deaths of Ariel and Cain. Seduced by the dark creature, Mortanius is reluctantly possessed and forced to kill Ariel. To correct this imbalance, he created Kane, a being powerful enough to destroy the ring. Mortani killed Anarkroth and then surrendered to the dark entity, which Kane defeated (these latter actions were the reason for everything that happened to Nosgoth). With only one pillar unrestored, Kane had an epiphany: even the last member of the Mad Circle, Ariel, an unwitting descendant of the Guardian of Balance, had died in the short time between his death and the pillar's failure. The vampire "healer" he seeks is his own death.

Players can choose to heal the world, with Kane sacrificing his life to ensure the eradication of the vampires and the restoration of Nosgoth, or curse the world, in which case the pillars collapse and Nosgoth becomes a wasteland. Incorrigible, Kane fully accepts his curse and becomes the most powerful being on Earth. This last option is considered the canonical ending that leads into the rest of the series.
