Is it just me or does Melchiah know more than he lets on? "Do you believe for a moment that our Lord would risk his empire upon an upstart inheritance?" He knows that Kain didn't throw Raziel into the Abyss over something so trivial as evolving before him, that was just the excuse Kain needed to get his plan rolling. Also, he seems to be genuinely repulsed by how things are in Nosgoth, along with his appearance. He doesn't really care about this whole Raziel vs Kain business or ruling over what's left of Nosgoth's inhabitants, he just wants to die so that he's not inhabiting a rotting corpse-pile anymore.
@Neo Nyo I had read your comment years ago and being that I am kind of obsessed with this game and particularly Melchiah I keep coming back to this video. I agree that he seems to know A LOT more than he lets on. Saying "you are the last, to die!" is doubly true in that in their human forms the brethren were slain in an order, with Raziel being the last to fall and I also take the line to mean that Melchiah believes himself and his brothers to be so far gone that they are truly dead along with the world that Raziel left them to. Even in his Reaver-Incarnation he is so innocent to the mechanizations of Kain and the fall of Nosgoth that he "lives" in a way the rest cannot anymore. It seems to me that Melchiah remained close to the Capitol because he both was the most vulnerable and also had to be the most connected to Kain's workings in order to survive. His elder brothers like Zephon, Rahab and Dumah left to either live in decadence or exile with their broods. On the title screen with all the statues that have moving heads, Melchiah is believed to be represented by the figure on the bottom right concealing its face in shame. I related a lot to him a lot as a character because of my own self-hatred and ugly appearance (and insides) growing up and way the game so expertly places family dynamics in such a fantastical setting sets it apart from so many others. I could say more but you know the rest! Just like Melchiah!
@@arjunarman5814 It is very interesting what you mention in the comments. Another interesting brother is Dumah, the only one capable of defeating Kain, is defeated but not dead at all, when his soul is found in the spectral plane, because only Raziel can kill him completely, by means of his purification in the soul reaver. Many people don't know that Raziel can talk to Dumah on the spectral plane before fighting him.
@@DMTune That is another very cool scene, Dumah may have been the most powerful of all the spawn of Kain, but I think Kain could have destroyed him (at least physically) with the material reaver. I cannot remember completely, but I think the reason why Dumah was defeated by the humans was because he thought of himself as invincible and became complacent as a result.
@@arjunarman5814 Wasn't Melchiah the one given the lesser part of Kain's gift? I like to think Kain was aware of this and chose to give him wisdom, the only of his children that knew "The plan".
@@arjunarman5814 I believe when Melchiah said "You are the last, to die!" he was referring to Raziel's clan, which he was just asked about. It makes more sense within the context of their discussion. He's telling Raziel that his clan was annihilated, and he's the last of them to die.
the most original character out of the 5 brothers, fits the world of soul reaver 1 perfectly. Compare this to rahab... just some monster-human-vampire fish. Or worse, dumah... just some big monster guy. Zephon was okay but melchiah as a mountain of corpses was the scariest
i miss this game, great voice overs, great game, dark n gothicy, good music and an epic story, LOK should be the basis of vampires worldwide...dese real vampires
"You are the last to die" Is Melchiah talking about the kill of his Sarafan Brothers with his suicide at the end in "Soul Reaver 2"? Because here, they are already dead.....
I have a feeling Melchiah is using a bit of... black humor lol I dunno I find it really funny the way he says everything! Do you not recognize me brotheeer? Am I so changed? LOL You will find Nosgoth less pleasant than you remember : D
As a safran commander, killed by the wraith Raziel, you think that their devolved form would not remember?? They remember that Raziel killed them and they k ow as beasts Raziel will kill them again
This games was so awesome. Really, really needs a remake. Also, nice high quality upload given that the others are all other crap, have their own music or in spanish.
I just want to mention a tiny fact. Being stressed over the first syllable word "mElchiah" becomes a russian word with the meaning (feminine grammatically) "shallow (e.g. river), small (task, particle)"
@srk341717 well I guess there is, but I reccomend you buy it from the store mate. It shouldn't cost more than a few bucks, considering it's an old game. That is if you find it. :)
if they arent going to make anymore sequels they should at least remake the originals. closest we have are the darksiders games...of course the original voices should come back :)
"Answer me little brother or I will beat an answer from your horrid lips!" Awesome line here.
You'd never guess that these two were voiced by the same guy. Michael Bell, what a legend.
That is seriously impressive...
Very much agreed

To this day I remember the horrible feeling in my stomach fighting Melchiah. He was a nightmare to me
that says a lot considering these were just shitty PS1 graphics
Pra mim também, pô kkk lembro em 2007, quando eu tinha 16 anos.
Lol I played this when I was a child. Melchiah was bizarre, i was afraid of trying to kill him ... so scary

omg yes! i literaly paniced when i had to fight him. i tryed for what felt like hours or even days to find ways to beat him
I never noticed melchiahs intro theme is basically a trap beat with different drums😂
Kurt Halrand knows his stuff
He says, "You will be the last to die." and he was correct. Out of all the brothers, Raziel died last.
But Raziel is beyond death..?
@@clariseo4090 they all died twice
I believe he was referring to Raziel's clan, it makes more sense within the context of their discussion.
He killed his brothers first and then himself.
Holy shit Melchiah can move
Game is a masterpiece - even a boss was crossing through bars. Awesome.
One of the best Ps1 adventure games ever conceived, a pure masterpiece!
Your cd must be quite scratched, that's why all those streaming issues. ;-)
yes it is bro, wish they do it again
I like that the closed captions automatically translates Raziel's name as _Russia._
The first boss of the series where Melchiah mashed like a potato juice.
i miss this game, great voice overs, great game, dark n gothicy, good music and an epic story, LOK should be the basis of vampires worldwide...dese real vampires
4:30 --> Best part ever for Melchiah! :-D
elevated Raziel, not reduced.
fuckin' ownage.. a true piece of art, this game, one of FEW
i'll forever respect and love this
Now that I think about it. I wouldn't be surprised if he and his brothers were Sarfan at one point.
They're actually selling it on Steam now.
"You are the last to die" Is Melchiah talking about the kill of his Sarafan Brothers with his suicide at the end in "Soul Reaver 2"? Because here, they are already dead.....
possibly. someone commented that melchiah maybe did know far more the he let on
Great classic! I play it on my Anbernic's RG350.
When it froze a bit i thought my tablet was lagging
Melchiah, The Rotten of the 90s.
I have a feeling Melchiah is using a bit of... black humor lol
I dunno I find it really funny the way he says everything!
Do you not recognize me brotheeer? Am I so changed? LOL
You will find Nosgoth less pleasant than you remember : D
As a safran commander, killed by the wraith Raziel, you think that their devolved form would not remember?? They remember that Raziel killed them and they k ow as beasts Raziel will kill them again
They dont remember that they even were sarafan in life.
I wish this game was on ps4
get a pc and throw the ps4 in the trash
This games was so awesome. Really, really needs a remake. Also, nice high quality upload given that the others are all other crap, have their own music or in spanish.
@TheCakeIsALie1992 it shows him made out of corpses in this clip too, its just the old PS1 graphics don't show it very well, its mostly in the arms.
Melchiah looks like the remains from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre reanimated.
This guy freaked me out
This is just too dam much... Fucking love it...
I can't explained if Raziel and their brethren are vampires or just mutated zombies with retained human intelligence?
+David Dimalanta vamires mutated from humans
Epic moment when I first play this game 🖕🖕
I just want to mention a tiny fact.
Being stressed over the first syllable word "mElchiah" becomes a russian word with the meaning (feminine grammatically) "shallow (e.g. river), small (task, particle)"
Its nothing but a coincidence though
Do you not recognize me brother? Am i so changed?
-Melchiah
They basically picked the props from one of the cancelled TLoK games, gave it to some random company and asked them to make a mmo.
💥🐲
I.. am relased
@Urmum55 thank you! :)
@junnkster hi... is there any pc version available for dwnload?
@srk341717 well I guess there is, but I reccomend you buy it from the store mate. It shouldn't cost more than a few bucks, considering it's an old game. That is if you find it. :)
it's a avail on psn for ps3
No longer, it was cancelled.
i wish
this nosgoth mmo crap seems to be something like a reboot, since most of the things i have seen about if don't make sense lorewise
if they arent going to make anymore sequels they should at least remake the originals. closest we have are the darksiders games...of course the original voices should come back :)
I think Melchiah is cute. Am I weird?
@Khalis33 raziel is such a beast. just sayin
They are remaking the series
''posted 7 years ago''
It's funny you mention that,the team that remastered Shadow of the Colossus is rumoured to be working on LoK but it'll be a ps5 release.
rebooting the series.
lol, melchiah, neither bright nor pretty.
