Detailed passage of Blade of Darkness

Annually, gaming companies are releasing new projects that attract gamers around the world. But quite often the players like to return to past, old works, which also have rather ambiguous responses. Today we will talk about the passage of Blade of Darkness - a game that was published back in 2001.

A bit of history

It is unlikely that the current fans of gaming bestsellers will be able to recall this slasher, who after himself left many controversial opinions. After the release of the beta version by Rebel Act Studios, the project proved itself to be more than successful. Gamers were waiting on February 20 to break their piggy banks and purchase a licensed version of Blade of Darkness. Passage was expected bright and fascinating.

But, as time showed, the beta version was worked out much better than the whole game. The most obvious indicator of this, of course, was sales. Despite the "boom" on the day of release, then they fell at catastrophic speed, and the version on the Xbox console was completely shut down.

Old-timers of the game industry know one more name of the game - Severance: Blade of Darkness. Passage of it now will interest only the real fans and those who still love the projects of the end of the last century and the beginning of the present. But those who are accustomed to the newfangled action, most likely, do not even look in the direction of Blade of Darkness.

A little about beauty

True, it is worth noting that, despite some failure, Rebel Act Studios lured the players. Therefore, the passage of the Blade of Darkness did not seem to them so disgusting. Still, you need to pay tribute to the great developers for high-quality 3D graphics at the time. And here is the irony - the most vivid and memorable moment after the release of the game for gamers are the shadows.

In the future, as the reviews and reviews have shown, this element has become what attracts and really pleases the player. It turned out that the shadows are not only beautiful, but also very believable. At the same time, "reflection" has been endowed not only with characters, but also with all the objects encountered. As the player moves through the world of Blade of Darkness, the passage outlines the wonders of computer technology.

Briefly about the plot

As already mentioned above, the main component of the game's success failed with a crash, as the plot of it did not become some kind of fascinating action. The passage of Blade of Darkness is built on a virtually thoughtless move in the name of the main goal.

In the world of chaos, God and his two sons co-exist: Darkness and Light. Naturally, as in any fairy tale, heroic antagonists face confrontation. Do not think that you will play for one of them, as it might logically seem. No, your role is to be a warrior fighting for the honor of Prince of Light in Blade of Darkness. Passage can be divided into a couple of parts. In the first it is necessary to get the Sword. And to find it, you need to look for precious stones.

Next, you need to upgrade your weapon. Of course, with the usual sword you can not defeat the dark Prince, so you need to start on the search for runes. They are scattered across six levels. It is worth noting that for this you will have to think hard, show your gaming skills.

Characters

So, we are already close to finding out the passage of the game Severance: Blade of Darkness. But first, let's get acquainted with who we are destined to play. The choice is not so great, although it is not monotonous. For us, there are four characters available. They already have their own image and their names, so changing their appearance does not make sense, and opportunities.

Amazon Zoe is endowed with long two-handed spears and the ability of a whirlwind. Like all heroes, she can simply strike. Characterization of the Amazon directly affects the gameplay, so you should carefully examine all the available characters in order to play their style. So, Zoey is the most mobile, but in balance to this she is very vulnerable. The length of her arms is small, so you have to creep from behind and hit the enemy until he notices you.

Knight Sargon is a more complex hero, since he has many abilities. Among them are the Southern and Northern Cross, which have increased damage and the number of strikes. A knight has two types of weapons. He can fight with long one-handed swords or short maces. Sargon has good speed, but is slightly sluggish when moving to the sides.

Passage of the game Blade Darkness, in addition, gives the opportunity to fight for the gnome Naglfara. This hero can fight with short one-handed axes, long clubs and a short hammer. The dwarf is a melee warrior, so playing them is not easy. It's slow, but its advantage is jumps that help dodge. In addition, he has a quick attack, which allows you to instantly get close to the enemy and cause damage from different sides.

The last possible hero is the barbarian Tukaram. The character fights with long two-handed swords and two-handed axes of medium length. This hero is the most difficult, because he has a lot of flaws, which are more than offset by merits.

Enemy danger

Passage of Blade of Darkness will force to battle with a mass of dangerous enemy creatures. Among them will be found a worm that can be easily defeated with one or two strikes, but this character attacks with small groups, and therefore it is difficult to remain unscathed from his invasion. To overcome these vile creatures, you need to get to them carefully and overtake the blows of the sword from below.

But a spider can not be so easily defeated. It is small in size, and therefore it is difficult to get to it. Most effective it can be defeated with the help of a bow or low sword strokes.

The most simple enemy in the game can be considered a knight. It's easy to defeat a series of simple punches.

A huge number of orcs will meet you on the way. Small orcs are harmless at first, but with each level become more powerful. Against them will help shield and tactics of defense / counterattack. Archers of the orcs are weak in close combat, so they should be avoided in open terrain, and in hand-to-hand combat it is easy to overcome. The biggest headache is the big orc. This enemy is very strong, he can protect himself with a powerful shield and drink a potion. It needs to be dealt with quickly, especially at high levels. Choose a light weapon and hit the enemy so that he did not have time to counterattack.

There will be heroes and "fat people" for you, they have a lot of health, so they can not be killed with one or two blows. So, the troll, despite its strength and survival, is clumsy and clumsy, so it's easy to twist it in "battle dance". By the way, if you chose a gnome to pass, the troll will be the boss on one of the levels.

To defeat a demon, you just need to throw yourself at him. He has little health, but his fireballs will not be blocked by a shield. Minotaurs are like trolls. They are unwieldy, but very tenacious. Therefore, you need to apply a series of punches first, and then, when the minotaur will run at you, go to him sideways and again strike. So you whirl it, get minimal damage and eventually overcome.

So we came to the most terrible villains in Severance: Blade of Darkness. Passage confronts us with vampires. They are very nasty and will give you a lot of trouble. It is worth noting that their first appearance is the role of the boss on one of the levels. The main advantage of vampires is that when they attack, they suck the life out of you, and they restore their health. Thus, these characters seem absolutely unbeatable. To overcome them, you need to play as skillfully as possible, so as not to lose a unit of health, while using ordinary blows.

By the way, a little later you will meet a vampire boss, who has a vampire shield, getting on which, you will get damage equal to the one that was inflicted on the enemy. In this case, most likely, it is necessary to fight several times with the boss. The main tactic is to knead the vampire with blows until he dies.

So, the penultimate enemy is a great demon. This creature can only be defeated after the same Sword of Ianna has been improved. This fight should take place at a safe distance from you, as the demon deals a huge amount of damage with one blow, and can also "hug" you to death. Move away from him and cast aside the abilities of the Sword.

Well, the final boss who will complete your passage of Blade of Darkness. He has many abilities, and besides, 80 thousand lives. To overcome it you can only "buy" patience and strength. Time will need a lot, and as a tactic you need to use the fight from the back. When attacking the boss, go to him sideways and deal a series of punches.

In the way-road

It should be noted that the difference in the passage of characters is noticeable only at the first level, so we paid attention to the initial stage. Everything else is the same and requires similar tactics, even though the characters have different abilities.

The most popular hero is a knight. He is a universal character who does not have complicated techniques, but also not primitive, like the Amazon. Let's start, perhaps, with Zoe.

Dexterity in the blood

So, in Severance: Blade of Darkness the passage of the Amazon starts from the first level, like everything else. The battle begins with the first enemy - an orc with a club. Overcoming it, you need to get to the right on the pyramid and, having met another orc there, again defeat the enemy. If you received significant damage in combat, at the starting point you will find a building where you will find mushrooms for treatment. Now you can continue your journey.

To do this, you need to find the entrance inside the wall around the corner of the pyramid. Here again fight with the orcs. The main advantage of you is dexterity, so try to learn how to jump around and back off. In the future it will help to fight with stronger enemies.

Inside you will find a button, you need to click on it and go out. Then you stumble upon the barrels of food. Follow right and you will be at the crossroads.

Now choose the path to the right. It leads to the entrance to the pyramid. Press the white button again and return to the intersection. Next, go straight to the tomb. Again the button and the "lunch". Now we return to the crossroads to check the way to the left. There is another intersection, on which we choose the right side, then the left. All the way you need to watch out for arrows, so use dexterity to protect.

Near the tomb, we defeat the orc and reach the second level. Here again, the button that opens the gate, located at the first intersection. We get there and go outside the gate. To the left is a trap, so go right. Again we are defeating the orc. After the bridge again to the left, and again the orc.

Move on. At the stone head put the switch to the right. We are fighting with an orc, and now we move along the left side of the wall. Here we find arrows and get to the bridge. Do not panic, you have to fall into a pond. Further we go into the passage, where we climb into the niche. From the corridor we get into the hall, which we pass along the left side, so as not to fall into the pit. Next will have to meet with a zombie. The staircase leads you to the healing bottle, and the corridor to the well. To the right is a door with two zombies, lives and keys. To the left is a step up, where traps with arrows are arranged.

On the wall, on the left side, there is a lever, press it. On the corridor, you will again meet enemies, and the level of the hero will be greater. Turning to the right will lead to a trap and an orc. We defeat him, open the doors and take the cannon. Again switch that will cause the splash screen. After jumping boldly out of the window, inside the well we take the key, get out of there and open the door.

Again the zombies, the bridge and the stairs up. The room to the right hid the bottle, use the button and wait for the screensaver again. Skeletons will meet at the cemetery, after which you will reach a new level. In the room again the lever. Behind the sarcophagus is a corridor, in the middle is a pit, which we go around along the wall. Turn left, there is a zombie, a path and a left grate. We turn into the room to the right, to the orcs. In the next room - a table, on the right wall we make our way to the chest, there's a bottle. Now go to the table and take a spear and key on it.

Then you need to go back to the last fork, turn right and fight the boss. We take the book in the center and finish one more level in the game Blade Darkness. Passage of the Amazon carried out successfully.

Adventures of the Gnome

The next hero will envelop us with the enemy atmosphere of the game Blade of Darkness. Passage of the dwarf begins in the mountains. You will find a castle where the corpses of your brothers will be, then fight the orcs. In the pantry you will find food, and then go to the wooden door. Defeat the orc and go to the door with a rusty lock. Here we fight with the orcs and find food.

Having got a new level, we climb up the stairs, find a crack in the wall and jump there. In the hall there will be another door to get the key, you need to fight the orcs. After entering there, we find another key from the door that has already passed, in front of the crack. We return to the corridor to the orcs, then we find a niche with buttons, we press in sequence 3, 1, 2. But when the door opens, do not rush there, since we need to get into one more secret room. To do this, run forward and make a jump. We take the shield, the potion and after that we go to that door, near the crack.

In the room we defeat the spiders, we take the potion. On the left there will be barrels, we break them and we get into the room with a club. Now we need to return to the next door, for which we fought the orcs. The corridor is dangerous, you need to be careful. We are defeating the orc and using the elevator. Next - a room with stone steps. In the room with the pit we find the switch, go back and go into the opened passage.

The room on the left will give you food and weapons. Passing through the bridge, we overcome the orcs and get into the hall with the boss. We overcome him and advance into the throne room. Here an orc, and behind an armchair - passage in a tunnel. In the library there is a potion and a bookshelf. There we find a book with a key, we open the door, we defeat one more orc, and in a secret room we take a book.

Knightly battles

It can not be said that it will be easy to finish the game Blade Darkness. Passage of the knight can be easily overcome if you have learned to play them. Therefore, from the first minutes try not to miss the secret rooms and improve your weapons and shield.

In the game Severance: Blade of Darkness, the passage for the knight begins in prison. You must escape from there, with a stool to nail the guard and open a couple of cameras. Moving further, you will meet the knight, having overcome it with a stool, select a sword and a key. On the left wall we find the passage and there again we meet the knight, from whom we select both the sword and the shield.

On the way you will find barrels of food, you need to refresh yourself. We use the elevator, in the room we climb the stairs and overpower the critters. By the way, you need to check all the time creatures - they can bring a variety of useful artifacts. We break the barrels, climb the stairs. On the way, we fight with knights and take away their weapons. We pass to the right into the room, from there we check two doors. After we leave on the balcony.

Jump and run to the left. Here on the stairs you will have to beat the guards and return to their post. On the second floor, turn on the switch and go back to the scene of the fight with the guards. The lattice will open, and the knight will make his way to the other courtyard. Then we fight with the guards and get to the church. There we take the bottle and come back.

There will be a guard and food behind the bridge. We go down the spiral staircase, fight, take the mace and go into battle. We return to the ladder and find the second lever, which activates the bridge. Then we consider the rooms and take all that is necessary.

After the screensaver you can attack the boss, but it's better to explore the whole territory once more, to stock yourself with life and potions. Find weapons stronger and even then defeat the enemy. Afterwards you will have to fight not yet with one guard, pass the rooms with traps and finally get to the scroll, which will mark the end of the level. The first level of Severance: Blade of Darkness (passage for the knight) was completed.

Barbaric Journey

So, we got to the last hero in the game Blade of Darkness. Pass barbarian overcomes long. First you need to run around the lake to find arrows, then get to the land, overcome a bunch of spiders and orcs, get a new level and extra lives.

After the victory over the orcs collect all the trophies and are treated. But in the houses you will find many orcs and prey, so you will have to fight here. It will be necessary to find the button and go down again. We go along the corridor to the right and we overcome the orc. On the site again houses, we fight and take away the booty. Remember, to increase the level, you need to defeat the maximum number of orcs.

We travel along the bridge and again find the evil orcs, overcome them, supplement our health. Basically, the barbarian works only to steal all the houses and take the prey. In what sequence you will do this - it does not matter. By the way, the barbarian does not need to overcome the boss, on his way there are too many enemy creatures, therefore, having reached stones like Stonehenge, you need to get to the center of the site.

What's next?

Now everything will go according to a similar scenario of the game Blade of Darkness. Passage of the Kelbegen Mine leads the heroes to places with interesting landscapes, where everyone must find those runes and raise their level. A beautiful environment and musical accompaniment creates an unusual atmosphere, and the creatures jumping out of the shadows of the mines scare and call for battle. Here everything intuitively helps the player to get to the goal and get reward for the successful passage of Blade of Darkness.

Orlok's gorge is a very militant and gloomy location that hides behind the ruins of sinister creatures. You need to be afraid of falling rocks and enjoy the wonderful creaking of snow under your feet. We will meet both ice monsters and huge golems. Try to collect weapons that in the future will be useful, as well as artifacts.

Of course, it would be foolish to describe the passage of each part. After all, what will the player then remain? Nevertheless, there are difficulties that beginners do not immediately notice. Then you have to go back and overcome the enemies again in search of the right things.

And in conclusion

As you already know, the game did not get the desired success, so for Blade of Darkness-2 the passage is impossible, simply because the sales of the first part did not live up to expectations. But then it should be noted that users created modifications that became popular among fans who were so ardent waiting for the second series of the game.

One of the modifications gave the game Mount and Blade. Light and Darkness, the passage of which became an interesting echo of the already forgotten at that time game Blade of Darkness, as a story component is the search for an island with the Mirror of Truth. In this case, and there are dark forces, beautiful landscapes and simple puzzles.

In general, the Spanish company has done a lot to make Blade of Darkness a quality product. Someone will argue with this, others still praise the developers and happily pass for the hundredth time the history of Darkness and Light.
