Storyline

Did you know

Trivia
If you complete Karim's level with low sanity, you get a false ending where it tells you to wait for the next Eternal Darkness game. This was a parody of Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, which had a similar ending.

Goofs
When Karim investigates a dead soldier, he describes the corpse as lying in a 'pool of cold blood.' The corpse and the ground its laying on however are completely clean.

Quotes
Chandra: Karim... We will be together forever...
Karim, Guard: Chandra?
Karim, Guard: What... What happened to you?
Chandra: Things change, my dear Karim... But even though my body is ravaged, I await you...
Karim, Guard: Who did this to you?
Chandra: You were gone so long... I... gave myself to a nobleman with a jealous mistress. She had me dragged from my bed, and in cruel revenge, flensed with knives!
Chandra: As the last blades were drawn across my body, and my blood cooled upon the floor, she cursed that I would only be with another in death...
Karim, Guard: So much for thinking only of me! I should never have left...
Chandra: I have seen my folly, and have paid dearly for it. I see so much more, now. In death, I know the true value of the artifact I asked you to find, and it is not for us to possess. If we are to be together again, you must make a sacrifice. Only when that is complete will we be together.
Karim, Guard: Sacrifice? Why should I do ANYTHING for you? You LIED to me! BETRAYED me! And you really don't look so good anymore...
Chandra: You must forget the past. Despite who you are now, you will also become something more, just as I have. But the sacrifice must be made. We must remain here and guard the artifact. Dark things will come to claim it and you must be strong to keep it from them. Without your sacrifice, the world will fall into eternal darkness!
Karim, Guard: Hmph... The things I do for love...

Crazy credits
The opening Nintendo logo is preceded by a close up of a zombie.

Alternate versions
Some playable demos at trade shows such as the Electronics Enterainment Expo (E3) contained a playable character named Joseph de Molay, a Gifted Knight-Templar. He does however make a cameo appearance as the man who can see Pious in his true form by the Tamerlane in a cutscene shortly after Alexandra Roivas found the Eternal Darkness page for Chapter 8: The Forbidden City which is Roberto's chapter.
