From the Pit: Stealing Malek's Pike

An oldie (where I come from) but still a goodie - Do you fancy fighting Malek, stealing his Pike and attacking your former Sarafan brothers with it in Soul Reaver 2? Here’s how:

You will need Ben Lincoln and Andrew Fradley’s SR2 Trainer or other software/codes to activate the Debug menu.

1)Activate the debug menu and then select “Levels”>“Strong C”>“Strong 5C” to spawn yourself in the corridor outside the “Cornered in the Stronghold’ (Malek) cutscene.
2)Enter the room to your left to commence the cutscene.
3)While the cutscene is playing bring up the debug menu again and return to the main menu. Select "Keep info between loads” and change it to read “yes”.
4)Return to the “Levels” menu and select “Reload Current Level”. If done correctly, you will respawn outside the door again, but this time it will have appear as though there is both an open and closed door in the doorway.
5)Enter the room to find Malek on his own acting like a regular enemy. He cannot be targeted or struck at this time (but he can hit you).
6)Return to the debug menu and once again switch “Keep info between loads” to “yes” (it defaults to “no” after every load) and “Reload Current Level” again.
7)Enter the room to fight and confront Malek as a regular enemy. Once defeated you can grab his pike and continue onward to face the other brothers armed with it or if you wish to face a challenge you can do it unarmed and steal their weapons as well.

Other interesting things to note with this procedure include the Reaver spawning stuck into the font in an upright position from which it cannot be recovered and if you have free-cam, Moebius can be found along with his staff in a vitruvian pose behind the south wall of the font chamber.
