After all these years since playing Soul Reaver on the PlayStation 1 as a kid, the encounter with Melchiah remains one of the most terrifying scenes preceding a boss battle in gaming.

This video contains spoilers for Legacy of Kain Blood Omen, Soul Reaver, Soul Reaver 2, Blood Omen 2 & Defiance which was made by Crystal Dynamics and owned by Square Enix.
