If Raziel runs out of health in the material world, he is shunted into the spectral realm, and if killed in this plane, he returns to the nearest checkpoint.
Raziel's health slowly regenerates in the spectral world, whereas it gradually depletes in the material realm.
In the spectral realm, the player cannot manipulate objects and weapons, and water is insubstantial. The material realm represents the physical, living world, whereas the spectral realm is a warped mirror of this environment. Gameplay, which is based on the original Soul Reaver, prompts the player to shift between two planes of existence-the material and spectral realms-to progress.

Hoping to deliver a more story-focused, cinematic experience than Soul Reaver, Crystal Dynamics researched time travel fiction, theology, and the works of Joseph Campbell when creating Soul Reaver 2's narrative. Traveling through history, he gradually exposes the truth behind his own past and destiny, as he uncovers the history of Nosgoth.

The game continues the adventures of the vampire-turned- wraith Raziel, the protagonist of Soul Reaver. Soul Reaver 2 was followed by two sequels, Blood Omen 2 and Legacy of Kain: Defiance, in 20. Originally developed as a PlayStation and Dreamcast project, it was reworked into a PlayStation 2 and Microsoft Windows title in early production. It is a sequel to Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver and the third game in the Legacy of Kain series.
