Players can battle every boss in both of the timeless classics featured in Leagcy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered. One of which will come in the form of Zephon. Zephon has adapted a spider motif and will grant Raziel the power to climb walls upon his defeat.
Zephon is the boss battle for the Silenced Cathedral area, but getting to him can be quite tricky. Players may be left wondering what to do in the final section of the Silenced Cathedral — in addition to the numerous puzzles they will need to solve to get there.

How to Find Zephon in Soul Reaver
Soul Reaver first came out on the original PlayStation. This was during a time when players would buy the best gaming magazines to find answers to their game-related questions. These were a popular choice for situations just like this. Players will see the game cut away to a set of three pipes that will start shooting air. However, there just doesn’t seem to be enough airflow to thrust players up to the boss arena. Players will need to connect 3 pipes and interact with 3 valves to generate enough airflow.
The first 2 pipes will be in the air shaft before the room with the set of pipes. Simply walk along the pipes and push over the segments when prompted. The first valve will be in the room after the set of pipes. Beyond this room, there will be a room with a movable block in it. Players will need to move this block all the way to the other side in order to backtrack later. However, in the middle of the room will be the second valve. This is an easy valve to miss, and players can move back and forth without ever realizing it’s even there. The final valve is at the top of the last room, and players will need to push the final pipe to get to it. While most players will easily find all the pipes and 2 of the valves, its the second valve that will cause a lot of players grief.
How to Beat Zephon in Soul Reaver
Zephon is a large and intimidating foe and the boss players face after their fight with Melchiah. However, this feels a lot more like an actual fight than either Melchiah or the player’s first run in with Kain. The players will need to move around within Zephon’s striking range. If they have their wraith blade, it will take only a single strike to cleave through one of Zephon’s legs. Destroying a leg will cause a web-wrapped ball to appear in front of Zephon.
Players will need to pick this up and take it to the opposite side of the boss arena, where a dead human guard can be found. This guard has a flame coming from their weapon. Players can use this flame to ignite this web ball before heading back towards the Zephon. Throwing the ball into Zephon will cause him to let out a wail of pain. Players will repeat this process twice more to defeat Zephon and claim a new power.
Should players take damage, they will lose their wraith blade, making the fight harder. It is recommended that they shift back to the Spectral Realm when this happens. They can then slay the wraith that lurks here to get back up to full health. They can then return to the fight on the Material Plane to continue their fight with Zephon.
