@Luvv, Lucy (Continued, again. lol)
Looking at my old SR2 folder, I see 3 .ini files.

There is a dsound.ini
A sr2.ini
and a sr2w.ini

The dsound is kind of obvious. Not necessary to mess with, but the other 2 are what will need editing for it. Depending on the system you run it on.

w is clearly an old windows version, at least from my experience. But a modern might run the regular sr2.ini instead. (It also helps if you patch the game, though I can't remember where to get the Patch exactly. I'd recommend checking the (Legacy of Kain) Discord for the patches to all of the games that are available on Steam. Only the SR1&2 Remaster doesn't need a Patch... yet.

@Luvv, Lucy (continued)

For all of them, I recommend turning on the (File Extensions) in your Computer's File Options. That will tell which file is a .ini easily.

[Methos-Kyuubi777]

@Luvv, Lucy
The .ini file is in the game folder.

Steam/Steamapps/Common.Legacy of Kain (Game Name)/

There is no other folder it is placed in, it has to be Steam's actual Game Folder for the Library. The Documents Folder (Using the Game's Name) is for Save Files only.

At least as far as I can remember.

[Luvv, Lucy]

i don't see a .ini file for this game, and the instructions from the links still doesn't work.

[Methos-Kyuubi777]

For those that can not get the cheats to work:
It isn't just putting the codes in that activates them, you also have to edit .ini files. This is true for all of "The Legacy of Kain" Games, most of the authors for Cheat Guides assume that you have already edited Initiative Files.

Some may require you to put in a new line via a text editor (Windows Notepad being the usual.), though some old games already have the line in there; it is just usually set to = False.
You would have to change the line to = True.

Personally, I do not do this for these games. LoK Games deserve their challenge rank, and I much prefer to play these games without cheats.

Has anyone else had an issue with the Malaks Sword and Shield Doors Not opening after collecting the Falcon Gliff and defeating the soldiers in the courtyard with Malaks Statue in it??? I have tried Uninstalling and Reinstalling the game and reverting to older save points, but neither worked...? Its as if the little cut scene for the Magical Door Barriers to disappear isn't Loading or something like that?

[bugg]

Why arent the cheats working, I put it the controlls on keybord but they still dont work.

[Methos-Kyuubi777]

He forgot the Light Reaver for Raziel...

[Methos-Kyuubi777]

Maverick: The Graveyard was actually one of the three hardest areas in the game. The only reason I got past it was that I am used to the puzzle systems they used through out the entire series. If I remember right, that entire area required you to be of quick foot and mind. Though that was back on PS2, If you really need help look up 'Legacy of Kain Dark Chronicle' on Bing or google. It is a site that is solely dedicated to the series' lore and secrets, that also contains guides to certain areas in all of the games.
