Soul Reaver: Eldritch Energy Power-Ups

Below are directions to each of the five Eldritch Energy power-ups that Raziel could find in Soul Reaver. They were hidden well, and Raziel required the Soul Reaver and/or other abilities - mostly gained by devouring the souls of the mutated vampire lieutenants - to reach them.

Eldritch Energy Power-Up 1
Eldritch Energy Power-Up 1 Eldritch Energy Power-Up 1 Eldritch Energy Power-Up 1
Location: The Necropolis (Melchiah's territory)
Abilities Needed To Reach It: The Soul Reaver
  1. Return to Melchiah's clan territory via the Warp Gate. Exit the Warp Gate chamber into the area with the lake. Cross the lake, and go through the door on the other side.
  2. In this room, there are two fledgling Melchahim (unless you killed them earlier) and three large sarcophagi. The room is split over two levels, and one of the sarcophagi - marked with a motif of crossed Soul Reavers - is on the lower level. Kill the Melchahim, or avoid them, but ensure that Raziel is armed with the wraith-blade.
  3. Insert the wraith-blade into the Soul Reaver-marked sarcophagus. This will cause the sarcophagus to move, and reveal a secret passageway beneath. Follow this passage.
  4. You will find a doorway marked with crossed Soul Reavers. As before, use the wraith-blade to open it, then go into the room beyond. The Eldritch Energy power-up is in there.
Eldritch Energy Power-Up 2

Location: The Human Citadel
Abilities Needed To Reach It: Scale Walls
  1. Start at the Human Citadel Warp Gate. Exit the Warp Gate room by going through the door, and follow the corridor to the town-like area.
  2. Look for the waterfall. The wall behind the waterfall is climbable. Climb up it, then jump across the street.
  3. You will see that there are a series of ledges around the town area at this height. Jump between them, heading in the direction of the Warp Gate.
  4. Around the corner from the waterfall, you will find a switch. Pull it. This will open a big door below it. Go through the door, and you will find another climbable wall. Climb it.
  5. Glide across the street to another opening in the wall. There is a corridor and steps here that lead to the Eldritch Energy power-up. It is guarded by two humans armed with flamethrowers.
Eldritch Energy Power-Up 3
Eldritch Energy Power-Up 3 Eldritch Energy Power-Up 3 Eldritch Energy Power-Up 3
Location: The Silenced Cathedral (Zephon's territory)
Abilities Needed To Reach It: The Soul Reaver, Scale Walls, Telekinetic Force Projectile
  1. Enter the Silenced Cathedral, and make your way through it until you reach the big room with the pit and four huge pipes. Once you're inside that room, turn around, and you should be able to see the Eldritch Energy power-up behind a grate, high up on the wall.
  2. Shift into the Spectral Realm, and one of the pipes will bend enough for you to climb up onto it. Walk along the pipe until you reach a planar portal, then shift back into the Material Realm.
  3. Jump up onto the ledge that is slightly above you. There is a climbable wall right here; climb it to find a steep passageway.
  4. A short way up the passage you will find a side tunnel branching off to the right. This side tunnel is blocked, so use a Telekinetic Force Projectile (with or without the wraith-blade) to shatter the obstruction.
  5. Continue along the side tunnel until it joins with another steep passageway. Turn right to go down the passageway, and you will find the Eldritch Energy power-up.
Eldritch Energy Power-Up 4

Location: The Drowned Abbey (Rahab's territory)
Abilities Needed To Reach It: Swimming
  1. Start at the Rahabim Warp Gate. Follow the corridor away from it, and exit the Warp Gate room by going through the door.
  2. You will now be in a circular room, with a door in front of you, and a short narrow corridor to the left. Go down the corridor; at the end of it, a large boat is moored in the lake outside. Jump into the water. Watch out for the Rahabim!
  3. Swim to the right. Eventually you will reach the edge of the lake, where there is a small underwater tunnel, only a metre or so beneath the surface. If you are underneath a waterfall, you're in the wrong place: you need to be on the opposite side of the lake. Once you're sure you have the correct tunnel, swim through it.
  4. At the end of the tunnel, there is a small chapel-like room. The Eldritch Energy power-up is in there, guarded by two adult Rahabim (these are Revived Vampires with the soul-sucking ability).
Eldritch Energy Power-Up 5
Eldritch Energy Power-Up 5 Eldritch Energy Power-Up 5 Eldritch Energy Power-Up 5
Location: Raziel's territory
Abilities Needed To Reach It: Constrict
  1. Return to the drawbridge tower in Raziel's former territory. By using Constrict on the dial in the centre of the tower, you can choose to associate the lever with any one of the four drawbridges, and thus visit three new areas. One of these areas contains an Eldritch Energy power-up. Assuming you haven't moved the dial before, two turns (in either direction) should select the correct drawbridge. Pull the lever to lower it.
  2. Cross the drawbridge and follow the corridor until you enter a large room. The power-up should be clearly visible, on a high ledge on the other side. The only way to reach it is by completing a block puzzle; you need to stack three blocks on top of each other.
