Kain's Mausoleum

Kain's Mausoleum is where Kain was buried after his human death. It appears as a playable location in Blood Omen and Defiance.

When Kain was murdered by brigands in the opening of Blood Omen and resurrected as a Vampire by Mortanius, Kain awoke in his family mausoleum four days later. The mausoleum was where Kain found many of his most frequently used items, including the Iron Sword, Iron Armor and Sanctuary Spell. He also gained his first Blood Vial, Rune Pyramid and Heart of Darkness relic. This was also where he found his first 'Save Altar '. Through the use of the Sanctuary Spell, Kain could often return to his mausoleum, gaining a small health boost when he did - it was also well equipped with human sacrifices, and relative safety. (though there were many low level enemies, like grave robbers and skeletons.) When he left the Mausoleum he found himself in The Cemetery and was to recognise his first vampiric vulnerabitilies - to sunlight and rain. After passing through The Cemetery and several other Mausoleums, he able to begin his journey back to Ziegsturhl.



In Defiance, Raziel emerged from The Elder's Lair in The Cemetery and after gaining the Dark Reaver, was able to enter Kain's Mausoleum himself, apparently shortly after the younger Kain's exit. Raziel was able to go through Kain's Mausoleum and reach the teleporter to the Light Forge.
