A reconstructed combined map view of the expanded Lake of Tears in the Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain alpha builds. The lake was much larger in the alpha and encompassed Nachtholm Cove on its eastern edge. The build also featured some rearranged progression, with Kain reaching the expanded Lake of Tears shortly after leaving Ziegsturhl and the area also demonstrated the changed arrangement between tiles such as the Pillars, Nachtholm, the Wolf Form Dungeon and the Energy Bolt Dungeon. This view also demonstrates a number of deleted bonus areas, differing surroundings to the pillars and an alternate Energy Bolt Dungeon within a graveyard. Following this section Kain would make his way to Steinchencröe.
