The platform was now surrounded by four small obelisks - two at the back corners of the main platform with two additional obelisks (that were absent from the Blood Omen altars) at the front of the platform on smaller platforms beside the steps, each one decorated with the same grey platform base and rune symbols sides as the main platform. Around the sides of the platform it was decorated by a set of red arcane symbols on a black background. At the front of the platform were a set of three stone steps which led up from the floor, with the same stone style as the outer platform border. Soul Reaver 2 save altars were slightly different and consisted of a steel-blue reflective platform surrounded by a grey stone border. The same symbol decorated the floor of the platform beneath the main obelisk colored a darker red shade. Beneath the main obelisk was a small square raised platform with a large rune symbol on the side somewhat resembling a three-fingered hand-print colored bright red. Dominating the center and back of the platform was the last obelisk, much larger than the others and colored a much brighter red tone. At the back of the platform stood three obelisks, two of which were positioned in the back corners of the platform and were made of the same stone texture as the platform itself: there were also variants which had five obelisks - with the extra two positioned a short distance in front of the platform, at the front corners. At the front of the platform were two steps which led up from the floor, each of which was fronted by the same red border containing white symbols. īlood Omen save altars consisted of a bronze or red-brown stone platform surrounded by a red border containing several white arcane symbols. When activated the option to save and select a slot was given to the player and when loading or resuming a game, gameplay would start from the last activated Save point (or Checkpoint if Raziel had 'died' in the Spectral Realm.) Design Īlthough very similar in appearance, the save altars of Blood Omen and Soul Reaver 2 did have some design differences - arguably with a certain amount of theming to the protagonist character. There were 5 of these altars in Soul Reaver 2, positioned on the 'outer Great Southern Lake, the Subterranean Pillars Chamber, the Swamp, Uschtenheim and inside the Fire Forge - allowing them to be easily accessed between the major set-pieces of the story. The appearance of the platforms was similar to the shape of Kain's save points in Blood Omen except the central obelisks were now a flamberge shape like the Soul Reaver. Although functioning similarly to those in Blood Omen the devices were given a bit of expanded explanation - that they were attuned to Raziel's spiritual essence and by using part of his soul he could leave an imprint of himself within the edifice to which he could return to when weary and from which he could resume his journey.

The altars returned in Soul Reaver 2, albeit with an altered design. When activated the option to save would be presented to the player followed by a list of save slots and when loading or resuming a game, gameplay would start from the last activated save point, with Blood and Magic energy quickly filling to their set levels. Kain discovered the first save altar in his mausoleum shortly after emerging from his grave in Seeking Revenge and thereafter they were seen fairly regularly throughout Nosgoth, allowing progress upto that point to be saved. They consisted of a raised platform dominated by red coloring, covered in arcane symbols with a central obelisk atop a larger symbol with two smaller obelisks at the back corners of the platform. Save altars were first featured in Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain, where they allowed the player to save progress - or provide Kain with "respite" as it was framed in the game. And, if I so chose, resume my journey when my weariness abated." ―Kain - Listen ( file info) Profile "Within the walls of these chambers I could find respite.
