How to beat Duma in Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver

Raziel will face many of his former brothers throughout Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaverwith his second last brother. Douma has become much stronger since he threw Raziel into the Lake of the Dead – and Douma goes so far as to claim that his power now rivals that of his creator, Kane.




Just like most of the boss fights in the game, it's not about fighting the opponent, it's about learning about the fight to find out what will finish them off. Of all the bosses in the game, the only one that feels like a real boss fight is Zephon.

How to beat Duma in Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver

When the player finds Duma, he sits on a large bed with various sticks embedded in his body. Players can wake up Duma by approaching him and pulling out all three of these beads from his body. However, they must refrain from doing so before they know how to fight him. Unlike previous boss fights, players do not stay in one boss arena to face their enemy. Some players may think that the key to defeating Douma is to reuse hazards, but these will have no effect and the real course of action is to escape the room where they find Douma.


As players make their way through Duma's Trench, they'll unlock paths that weren't in place before. One of them will be a giant furnace room. Players must plot a route from this furnace room to Duma's lair in order to lure him there. If they need them, players will find various pictures above each corner they need to take to move from Douma's Lair to this room – as well as a point-by-point list below:

  • Go east along the red carpet and exit the Duma room.
  • Go around the fallen obelisk to the corridor to the east.
  • In the sunlight, turn around and head south.
  • Go up the ramp and turn west.
  • As you head west you will cross a bridge.
  • Go west around the next room and go through the doorway.
  • Follow this winding corridor to the Furnace Room, making sure Doma follows you.

If the players get too far ahead of Duma, he will turn around and return to his lair. Players then have to start the whole process over. Players should never jump and instead just keep running into the room. This gives Dumas time to back off when players are stunned by his onslaught. Players can stop to look back to make sure Duma isn't too far behind.


When they reach the furnace room, they find a wheel on the west side of the room and a lever on the east side. Upon entering the room, players must go west and turn the wheel to open the various gas valves. Players must then drag Douma to the middle of the room before pulling the lever on the east side. This causes the gas to ignite and the douma to fail. This gives players the ability to create a trail of spectral energy that can be used to bind enemies – or allow them to interact with certain objects.

Duma may get stuck on the western platform. If this happens, players will need to stand with an open path between the two so they can get to Raziel and then lure them down the walkway.
