At the back of the platform stood three obelisks, two of which were positioned in the back corners of the platform and were made of the same stone texture as the platform itself: there were also variants which had five obelisks - with the extra two positioned a short distance in front of the platform, at the front corners. At the front of the platform were two steps which led up from the floor, each of which was fronted by the same red border containing white symbols. īlood Omen save altars consisted of a bronze or red-brown stone platform surrounded by a red border containing several white arcane symbols.

Although functioning similarly to those in Blood Omen the devices were given a bit of expanded explanation - that they were attuned to Raziel's spiritual essence and by using part of his soul he could leave an imprint of himself within the edifice to which he could return to when weary and from which he could resume his journey. The altars returned in Soul Reaver 2, albeit with an altered design. When activated the option to save would be presented to the player followed by a list of save slots and when loading or resuming a game, gameplay would start from the last activated save point, with Blood and Magic energy quickly filling to their set levels.
