That is seriously impressive...

Very much agreed

@Neo Nyo I had read your comment years ago and being that I am kind of obsessed with this game and particularly Melchiah I keep coming back to this video. I agree that he seems to know A LOT more than he lets on. Saying "you are the last, to die!" is doubly true in that in their human forms the brethren were slain in an order, with Raziel being the last to fall and I also take the line to mean that Melchiah believes himself and his brothers to be so far gone that they are truly dead along with the world that Raziel left them to. Even in his Reaver-Incarnation he is so innocent to the mechanizations of Kain and the fall of Nosgoth that he "lives" in a way the rest cannot anymore. It seems to me that Melchiah remained close to the Capitol because he both was the most vulnerable and also had to be the most connected to Kain's workings in order to survive. His elder brothers like Zephon, Rahab and Dumah left to either live in decadence or exile with their broods. On the title screen with all the statues that have moving heads, Melchiah is believed to be represented by the figure on the bottom right concealing its face in shame. I related a lot to him a lot as a character because of my own self-hatred and ugly appearance (and insides) growing up and way the game so expertly places family dynamics in such a fantastical setting sets it apart from so many others. I could say more but you know the rest! Just like Melchiah!

@@arjunarman5814 It is very interesting what you mention in the comments. Another interesting brother is Dumah, the only one capable of defeating Kain, is defeated but not dead at all, when his soul is found in the spectral plane, because only Raziel can kill him completely, by means of his purification in the soul reaver. Many people don't know that Raziel can talk to Dumah on the spectral plane before fighting him.

@@DMTune That is another very cool scene, Dumah may have been the most powerful of all the spawn of Kain, but I think Kain could have destroyed him (at least physically) with the material reaver. I cannot remember completely, but I think the reason why Dumah was defeated by the humans was because he thought of himself as invincible and became complacent as a result.

@@arjunarman5814 Wasn't Melchiah the one given the lesser part of Kain's gift? I like to think Kain was aware of this and chose to give him wisdom, the only of his children that knew "The plan".

@@arjunarman5814 I believe when Melchiah said "You are the last, to die!" he was referring to Raziel's clan, which he was just asked about. It makes more sense within the context of their discussion. He's telling Raziel that his clan was annihilated, and he's the last of them to die.

that says a lot considering these were just shitty PS1 graphics

Pra mim também, pô kkk lembro em 2007, quando eu tinha 16 anos.

the most original character out of the 5 brothers, fits the world of soul reaver 1 perfectly. Compare this to rahab... just some monster-human-vampire fish. Or worse, dumah... just some big monster guy. Zephon was okay but melchiah as a mountain of corpses was the scariest

omg yes! i literaly paniced when i had to fight him. i tryed for what felt like hours or even days to find ways to beat him

Kurt Halrand knows his stuff

But Raziel is beyond death..?

@@clariseo4090 they all died twice

I believe he was referring to Raziel's clan, it makes more sense within the context of their discussion.

He killed his brothers first and then himself.

yes it is bro, wish they do it again

They dont remember that they even were sarafan in life.

possibly. someone commented that melchiah maybe did know far more the he let on

get a pc and throw the ps4 in the trash

+David Dimalanta vamires mutated from humans

Its nothing but a coincidence though

It's funny you mention that,the team that remastered Shadow of the Colossus is rumoured to be working on LoK but it'll be a ps5 release.
