==Profile==
+
Torches were one of the most basic and widely available weapons in ''[[Soul Reaver 2]]'', they could be found throughout [[Nosgoth]] in all three eras, usually adorning walls in darkened areas.{{Ref|Soul Reaver 2}}{{Ref|Soul Reaver 2 strategy guide (Prima)}}
+
+
Torches were a one-handed weapon variant. They were slower and more powerful compared to [[claws]]; but were faster and less powerful compared to [[Long swords (Soul Reaver 2)|sword]], [[Tridents|trident]]/[[Halberds|halberd]] and [[Axes (Soul Reaver 2)|axe]] variant weapons.{{Ref|Soul Reaver 2}}{{Ref|Soul Reaver 2 manual}}{{Ref|Soul Reaver 2 strategy guide (Prima)}}<ref name="SR2Online-Weapons">'''Weapons:''' GameFAQs.

This move could only be used once however, as it extinguished the torch;{{Ref|Soul Reaver 2}}{{Ref|Soul Reaver 2 strategy guide (Prima)}} unlike ''[[Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver]]''{{Ref|Soul Reaver}}, torches could not be re-lit and disappeared upon enemy ignition.{{Ref|Soul Reaver 2}}

==Notes==
+
*Torches in ''Soul Reaver 2'' were presumably based on the [["hndtrch"|Torches]] seen in ''[[Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver]]'', with a similar appearance and similar moves, animations and attributes to their ''Soul Reaver'' predecessors.{{Ref|Soul Reaver}} Notably the ''Soul Reaver 2'' torches are unable to be re-used or reignited which lessens their overal usefulness.
+
*Like many of the weapons in ''Soul Reaver 2'', Torches are not explicitly named in-game. In many guides and sources, weapons are divided by generally into one- or two-handed weapons,{{Ref|Soul Reaver 2 manual}} or into general weapon families{{Ref|Soul Reaver 2 strategy guide (Prima)}}<ref name="SR2Online-Weapons">'''Weapons:''' GameFAQs.

*Torches are labelled as ''"hndtrch"'' in game files.{{Ref|Soul Reaver 2}} The game manual and [[Soul Reaver 2: Prima's Official Strategy Guide|Prima guide]] both refer to them as ''"torches"''.{{Ref|Soul Reaver 2 manual}}{{Ref|Soul Reaver 2 strategy guide (Prima)}}

*A Unique Torch design is seen in the [[Fire Forge (Soul Reaver 2)|Fire Forge]] which somewhat resembles the [["gong"|Gong Stick]] seen in ''[[Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver]]''. With no enemies present in the fire forge, these torches were used more as an [[:Category:Items/Soul Reaver 2|item]] than a weapon - allowing Raziel to [[Fire|ignite]] different cauldrons as he progressed through the Forge.{{Ref|Soul Reaver 2/8}}{{Ref|Soul Reaver}}

Torches in Soul Reaver 2 were presumably based on the Torches seen in Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, with a similar appearance and similar moves, animations and attributes to their Soul Reaver predecessors.[Soul Reaver] Notably the Soul Reaver 2 torches are unable to be re-used or reignited which lessens their overal usefulness.
Like many of the weapons in Soul Reaver 2, Torches are not explicitly named in-game.
