Quickly press [Block], [Auto Face], [Dark Gift Menu], [Looking Around], [Action], [Use Dark Gift], [Blood Suck] at the main menu. 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
Defeating the big mosquitoes
In almost every scene, the enemies have boundaries that they cannot cross. If you find these boundaries, the mosquitoes will be waiting on the opposite side for you to cross back over. Use the jump attack by jumping over and kicking them. Then, before they recover, run back over the boundary line. After four kicks the mosquitoes will die. It is more difficult when there are two waiting for you, but can still be done.
Easy health
Immediately after clearing a checkpoint, if you are low on health, reload the game. You will be back exactly where you just were, except your health meter is now completely full.
Easy kill
After defeating Sebastian and acquiring the Dark Gift Charm, use it on a enemy that you cannot charm. It will appear as if they have a headache. Quickly run towards the enemy and attack. Repeat this until the enemy is killed.
Instant death attack
To do an instant death attack, you must have mist in the area of the person. Enter the mist using your dark skill ability "Mist", then sneak up behind them. A skull will appear. Use this time to attack and you will cause instant death to the enemy. Note: If you run into the front of the person, they will immediately attack.
Level select
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. Locate the following line and replace its value with one of the names in the "data" folder:
level="slums/sl_01".
Raising Kain's lore
When you encounter a save point, avoid it. Instead, first kill all the enemies ahead. After your satisfied with the amount of enemies you have killed, backtrack to the save point that was skipped and hit it. The game records your current lore level at this point. Next, after the save point is hit, kill yourself. Therefore when you regenerate at the save point, you will have the same amount of lore. All the enemies that you already killed are back. Kill them again and get even more lore. The Relic Boxes also work in the same way.
Wharves: Jumping to Rune Knights
Around the middle of the Wharves chapter is a place where you have to constantly jump across a river with one Rune Knight in each area you jump to. Before you jump, hit the Rune Knight twice with Telekinesis. When you jump, try to make the jump indicator red so that you hit the Rune Knight. While he is on the ground, draw your weapons or get your claws out. Immediately when he stands, start attacking and catch him off guard. Two hits should be required with bare claws and only one hit with some sort of weapon.
