I. INTRODUCTION (INTR1)

Hi, everyone! Welcome to my FAQ/Walkthrough of the third and final installmentof the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time trilogy--Prince of Persia: The TwoThrones, for the Nintendo Gamecube! This is a terrific and challenging game that combines the greatness of the two previous titles to create what is, in my opinion, a masterpiece of gaming.

But I'm not here to wax philosophical about the game, I'm here to help you!

So, without any further adieu, read on to the guide itself!

II. CHARACTERS & CONTROLS (CONT2)

*DESCRIPTIONS ARE TAKEN FROM THE GAME MANUAL*

The Prince

The Prince of Persia is back from the Island of Time, where he prevented the creation of the Sands of Time and rescued Kaileena, the Empress of Time. He eventually changed his fate and escaped death. He is now sailing to his homeland of Babylon, only to discover it ravaged by war and invaded by a powerful enemy.

The Dark Prince

The unexpected spreading of the Sands of Time as the Prince returns to Babylon has tainted the Prince and given rise to a deadly Dark Prince, whose spirit gradually possesses him. The Dark Prince is a corrupted version of the Prince: ruthless, reckless, and sadistic.

III. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ3)

*PLEASE, READ THIS SECTION BEFORE YOU E-MAIL ME*

Q: I can't beat Klompa/The Arena Boss/The First Boss/The Ogre!A: Read my strategy, but if you're having trouble landing the Speed Kill, you

may have the glitch (or you're pressing the button too early, TRY WAITING). Try different combinations of Speed Killing or try to get the timing down without the actual visual cue. If all else fails, you may just have to resort to getting another copy of the game, one that hopefully isn't glitched.

Q: Is there a secret ending for collecting all the Life Upgrades?A: NO, there is not. As far as I know, all you get for collecting the Life Upgrades is extra health. No alternate ending a la Warrior Within.

Q: I jump and use a shutter, but it doesn't make me go where I need to! How do I do this?!A: Sometimes, whether by glitch or design, the shutters don't go where you need to go unless you point in the direction you want as you jump. For safety's sake, I always point in the direction I want to go when I use the shutter.

Q: What differences are there between the Gamecube version of this game and the other ones?A: Aside from the standard differences in graphics, framerate, controller, et cetera? There are a few in the actual game, such as slight alterations to enemy locations that you won't likely notice or miss. More importantly, though, the Gamecube version misses out on a few videos for Sands of Time and Warrior Within in the unlockables. Not exactly a problem if you own the previous games, but a tad disappointing nonetheless.

IV. WALKTHROUGH (WALK4)

This Walkthrough was done using the Hard version of the game as the template. These strategies will work for other versions of the game, however, as they are the same excepting the damage one gives and recieves. So, in other words,don't worry. Just follow the walkthrough.

This Walkthrough is also relatively spoiler-free, as I will try not to give away any significant plot points in the actual guide. Names of enemies and bosses are given, however, so if you consider those spoilers, tread cautiously.

---

A. The Beginning

From where you start, go forward and roll (press A while running) through the hole in the doorway. Turn left and go forward, then turn around when you reach the flaming stone. Climb (press A) the wooden crate to your right, then jump (press A while running) to the stone ahead of you. Jump to the stone after that, then turn left at the wall and jump to the wooden ledge ahead of you. Turn left, and run along the wall (press and hold R while running parallel to the wall) to reach the next wooden ledge. Turn right and run up the wall (press and hold R while running directly toward the wall) to reach a ledge, then shimmy left along the ledge and around the corner. Drop (press X) from the ledge, and head forward to the ladder ahead.

Descend the ladder, head forward and turn right at the wall. Jump onto the column ahead of you (press A) and ascend it. Turn around the column and jump (press A) to the column ahead of you. You can also perform a quick jump (press

A while pointing in the direction you want to go), but those not used to the game mechanics may want to wait until attempting these. Ascend the next column and jump back to the column behind you. Turn to the left and jump to the wooden platform. From there, turn right and climb the raised platform, then move toward the rail on the right to automatically climb over it. Jump to the column in the middle of the room (press the control stick toward the column and press A). From here, turn right and jump to the ledge across from you. Shimmy right along it and drop. Turn around, then run along the wall to reach the ledge across from you. Jump up to the ledge above that, then shimmy left until you reach an opening. Climb up and drop into the next room.

---

B. The Ramparts

This next room has a water fountain, which you can drink to replenish health and save the game (press R near fountain). You can also drink from any other sources of water to replenish health, though only fountains can save. From where you enter, turn left and head forward to the next corner. Here you will first be introduced to the Landscape Camera. See the flashing gold icon (or 'eyecon') in the lower left corner of the screen? When that appears, you can use the Landscape Camera (press Z). You can use the Landscape Camera to get a large overview of an area, and can also zoom in and out on your character in this view (use the C-Stick).

From here, turn right and ascend the ladder in the next room. Turn right and head through the doorway to activate a cutscene. You will now be introduced to your first enemy, the Guard, as well as the exciting Speed Kill system. To perform a Speed Kill, move behind an enemy without being detected until the screen becomes distorted. When that happens, press the Y button to initiate the Speed Kill. In order to complete the Speed Kill, you must press the B button when the screen flashes and the dagger flares. Failure to match these visual cues will result in failure of the Speed Kill, which results in considerable damage for the Prince. This first Speed Kill is a tutorial, so the time allotted for matching the visual cues and the intervals between them are relatively slowed. A Guard will typically require matching two visual cues in a Speed Kill. Execute the Speed Kill. Use Landscape Camera if you wish. Then, turn right, head over the rail, and jump to the column ahead of that.

Slide down the column and move behind the next Guard, then perform a Speed Kill. After dispatching him, turn to the right and head to the edge of the platform. Run along the left wall to reach the ledge across from you. Shimmy right along to the end of the ledge, then climb up and jump up to the next ledge. Shimmy right to that ledge's end, then drop to the next ledge. Shimmy right to the end of the ledge, then jump across the gap to the right. Descend the ladder quickly, move behind the Guard ahead, and perform a Speed Kill.

From here you will be introduced to the Free-Form Fighting system, which has been relatively unchanged from the previous installment in the Prince of Persia trilogy, Warrior Within. For in-depth strategy with this system, please check the 'Free-Form Fighting' section of this guide.

Head around the pillar and descend the stairway, then turn right and head toward the alleyway. You will now be forced to engage your first Guard in Free-Form Fighting. Vault attacks are effective, particularly the Aerial Landing Slice. After defeating him, turn right and head forward to the next edge. Run along the left wall and jump when you are parallel to the ledge on

the right to reach that ledge. Climb up the ledge, then jump up to the next ledge. Shimmy left and climb up after you turn the corner. Turn left and ascend the ladder.

In this next room, look to the ledge above and run up the wall to reach it. Climb over it, and head forward for a cutscene. After it, turn left and reach the edge of the platform. Run along the left wall to the curtain, which the Prince will automatically slide down. Turn around and head forward to engage in your first major Free-Form Fighting battle with three Guard enemies. Vault attacks are still effective, as are Wall Rebound attacks. If you feel overwhelmed, you can use the Grab Throw to toss as many as you like off the cliff or into the fire.

After defeating them, head forward and turn left into the next room. Ascend the ladder in front of you, then jump backward to the other ladder. Turn around on the ladder, then climb up. Run up the wall on the right and jump at the apex of your run to reach the ledge to the left. Climb up the ledge, then jump to the right to reach the ladder. Climb it to the top. Here you will be introduced to the First Person Camera, which is activated by pressing Up on your D-Pad. Use the C-Stick to look around, then press Up again (or any other button) to return to the normal camera. Head forward off the platform and make a left. Head forward until you reach a door, and climb the ledge to the left of the door. Climb the ledge above that, move forward to the edge of the platform, and you will be introduced to your second type of enemy, the Archer. These enemies are weaker than Guards, but have aggravating arrow attacks. Fortunately, those attacks can be blocked, and they only require matching one visual cue in a Speed Kill. Run along the wall on your left to reach the ledge across from you, then wait until the screen becomes distorted. When it does, execute your Speed Kill (yes, you can start them from anywhere as long as the screen is distorted).

From here, head forward and descend the ladder. If you like, you can just sneak up on the Guard ahead of you and execute a Speed Kill. If that's too daring, you can run up the wall on your right to reach a ledge. Shimmy forward on the ledge to the end, then jump to the left to reach another ledge. Shimmy forward to the end of the ledge, then wait until the screen becomes distorted to perform the Speed Kill. Ahead of you is an Archer, approach him from the right and execute a Speed Kill. Move to the end of the next hallway and ascend the ladder at the end of it. Head forward and drop to the next area.

C. The Harbor District

There is a fountain here, use it if you wish. Head forward to the edge of the wooden platform, then run along the left wall and jump at the end of it to reach the next platform. Move toward the ledge on the left to get on it, then drop to hang on the ledge. Shimmy right along the ledge and around the corner,then climb up at the next platform. Use the beam on the right to reach the next ledge, then move right along the ledge to the next beam. Jump to the beam across from you to reach the next platform, then roll under the hole ahead to reach the next room.

Turn left and you will see a weapon rack, which will give a secondary weapon when broken. Break it if you wish with your dagger, then turn right and get on the beam. Jump forward from the beam to reach a set of beams, one above the other. Drop from the first beam to the second beam, and note that sending the

birds flying will arouse the suspicion of the enemies below. Wait until the Archer turns away from you, then execute a Speed Kill on the Guard. After dispatching him, move toward the Archer and Speed Kill him as well. Move forward and run up the wall, jumping at the apex of the run to reach another beam. Jump up to the beam above that one, then move left to the next platform.

Ahead of you is another beam, jump to it. Move to the beam pointing at the center and jump to reach a gap, which the Prince will automatically brace himself in. Move the Control Stick down to slide down, and move it up to climbup. Slide all the way down, and drop to the street below. Two Guards will attack, dispatch them both however you see fit.

After killing them, turn right and jump to the beam ahead of you. Move along the beam to the right, then jump to the next beam. There is a gap on your left, jump to it and use it to climb up to the next platform. Jump forward to the next beam, then slide down the gap. Turn around in the gap, then execute the Speed Kill on the Guard below. Move forward and head into the next room.

Use the Landscape Camera if you wish, then move to the edge of the platform on the right into the birds. Wait for the guards to resume their intial positions, then jump to the beam ahead of you. Execute the Speed Kill on the Guard from here, then move to the Archer and Speed Kill him as well. Ascend the ladder next to the Archer to reach the next platform.

Move on the beam and jump to the rail across from you--however, do NOT climb over the rail. Wait for the Archer to come to the left, then climb over whenhe starts to move to the right. Catch up with him and perform a Speed Kill. Roll under the hole ahead of you.

---

D. The Streets of Babylon

This next area has a fountain, use it if you wish. To the right of it is a wall, run up it to reach the next platform. Use the Landscape Camera if you wish, then run along the right wall and jump at the end of it to reach a beam.Wait until the Guard moves under you and the screen becomes distorted, then perform a Speed Kill. Move up to the Archer, and Speed Kill him as well. Run along the left wall to reach a beam, then jump to the right to reach the next building.

Turn left, and follow the stairway until you reach a dead end. Use the Landscape Camera if you wish, then run up either the left or right wall and jump. Jump again when you hit the wall across from you, and continue this process to ascend to a ledge. Get on the ledge to the right, then jump up to reach another ledge. Move right to reach the next platform, then climb up to reach another.

Get on the beam to your right, then move up the center beam. Jump forward to the next beam, and then again to another. Move right and then jump forward to reach the next beam, and then move left and jump forward to reach yet another beam. Jump forward once more to reach the next platform.

Climb over the rail in front of you and move parallel with the ledge across from you (it's above the blackened wall). Drop down to the ledge below. Use the Landscape Camera to wait until the Guard on the left is turned away, then

quickly perform a Speed Kill on the other Guard. Then turn and Speed Kill the aforementioned Guard. Move forward and follow the alleyway until you reach a beam. Move along it and jump to the ledge across from you, then shimmy left along the edge to reach another beam. Climb on it, and jump to the beam parallel to it, then jump from that beam to reach the next platform.

Move forward through the alley until you reach the edge of the platform. Run along the right wall and jump when you are parallel with the beam in the center to reach it. Jump toward the wall on your left or right, and jump off that wall to reach the beam above you. Move forward and jump to the next area.

E. The Palace Balcony

There is a fountain here, use it if you wish. Climb over the railing to your left and drop to the platform below. Move to the edge, then run along the wallon your left, jumping when you are parallel to the rail on the right side. Climb up the rail. Use the Landscape Camera if you wish, then run up the wall next to you to reach a ledge above. Move left along the ledge to reach a beam, and wait for the Archer in the background to move. Then, perform a Speed Kill on the Guard below. Move forward and turn right, but stay behind the brown latticed wall. Use the Landscape Camera to observe the two Archers. Wait untilthe Guard in the foreground turns to the right, then quickly move up and turn left into the next alcove. Move forward and climb the furniture, then run up the wall and jump to reach a beam. Move right along the beam until you reach its edge, then wait for the screen to become distorted. Execute the Speed Kill on the Archer then, and Speed Kill the other Archer afterward.

From where the last Archer was, there is a raised statue to the left. Climb it, then run up the wall and stab the dagger into the plate (press B). As a note, when using plates remember to let go of all buttons after stabbing, particularly R, as holding them can potentially mess you up. Jump up and stab into the next plate, then jump to the platform across from you.

At the edge of the next platform, run along the left wall and jump when you reach the shutter to propel the Prince to the next platform. There is a pressure plate to the left, step on it to open the door ahead of you. Run through the door before it closes.

In the next room, climb up the table on your right and move to the edge of the platform. Use the Landscape Camera if you wish, then run along the right wall and stab the dagger into the plate when you reach it. Drop to the beam below, then jump across and stab into another plate. From here, perform a Speed Kill on the Guard below.

There is a column to your right, jump to it and ascend. From there, jump to the beam to the right of you, and jump from there to the next platform. Use the Landscape Camera if you wish, then run up the wall ahead of you to reach a ledge. Move right along the ledge until you reach a beam, then move to the endof the beam to reach a gap. Jump to the gap, turn around in it, and then execute a Speed Kill on the Archer below.

After that, turn to the railing and climb over it, then jump to the beam across from you. Wait until the screen becomes distorted, then perform a SpeedKill on the Guard below. Move forward until you reach a doorway on your left barricaded by furniture. Destroy the furniture with your dagger and then wait

for the alarmed Guard to move back into position. Use the Landscape Camera if you wish, then move through the doorway and run up the wall ahead to the rail. However, do NOT jump over the rail. Instead, shimmy to the right until you arepast the guard, then jump over the rail and execute a Speed Kill.

Turn to the left wall and run up it, stabbing your dagger into the plate above. Jump and stab your dagger into the next plate, then run along the wall (hold R and press the Control Stick) to the left and stab your dagger into the next plate. Run one more time to the left to reach the next platform.

Turn left and move to the table ahead. Climb it and move to its edge. Use the Landscape Camera if you wish, then run along the wall and press Y on the shutter to initiate a Speed Kill on the Archer ahead, remembering to finish the Speed Kill afterward.

Run up the wall on your left and jump to reach a beam. Jump from this beam to another beam ahead of you, and then jump at the end of this beam to the left to reach a ledge. Climb the ledge and over the railing above it to reach the next platform. Use the Landscape Camera if you wish, then climb on the table ahead, run up the wall, and stab your dagger into the plate. Run along the wall to the right and jump when you are parallel to the beam on the right. Move forward along the beam and turn when you reach a smaller beam on the left. From this beam, jump to the gap ahead of you.

Now, the next Speed Kill. After a bit more testing on this kill, it is easier than I thought, and contrary to my first impressions, error on the designers does not seem to be the issue here. Still, it's a tricky one. To do it EASILY, simply drop down from the gap and quickly Speed Kill the Guard walking away from you, then go back and Speed Kill the Archer.

Now, if you want to do it the 'real' way, or the Guard is too far away from you, here's how you do it. Turn around in the gap, and execute a Speed Kill on the Archer below. Afterward, move forward through the hallway to the table ahead. Run up the wall on the left and jump to the beam above. Move to the beam perpendicular to you and then move right until you reach the end of the beam. Jump to the plate and stab your dagger into it, then run along the wall to the left and stab your dagger into the next plate. Then (now this is the tough part), you will have to jump from the plate to the beam across from you, then press the Control Stick away from the beam as you reach it. Doing this will help to make the Prince maintain balance, any other way will make the Prince slip into a hanging position, where the Guard will see him and mess up the Speed Kill. After doing this, move to the center beam, jump to the gap ahead, use the Landscape Camera if you wish, then turn around and perform the Speed Kill.

Any way you do it, afterward move forward into the next room. Run up the wall on your left and stab the dagger into the plate. Run along the wall to your right to reach a ledge, then shimmy right along to the end of the ledge. Climbup to reach the next level. Head around to the end of the hall, then run up the wall and jump off the pressure plate to open a door and reach the beam. Quickly climb up through the open way before it closes to reach the next area.

---

F. The Palace

There is a fountain in this area, use it if you wish. To the right there is a

hallway full of trap spikes, run quickly over them to avoid being hurt. Follow the hallway until you reach your first spinning blade trap. Run through right after it goes down. The next trap is a panel that flips between a normal state and one filled with spikes. Run onto it right after it turns normal and then run up the wall ahead of you. Climb over the railing to reach the nextplatform.

Approach the edge of the platform on the right. You will need to run along the wall on the right at the right time to avoid being hit by the blade. Since you will be passing only through where the upper half of the trap, wait until the blade clears that section and then quickly run through, jumping afterward to reach the next platform parallel to you.

Go forward and approach the edge from the right. You will need to run along the wall on the right at the right time to avoid being hit by the wall trap. Wait until right after the wall goes down, then run along the wall, jumping on the shutter at the end to reach the next platform.

In the next hallway, wait until the wall trap ahead of you begins to go down, then quickly run forward over the trap spikes and run up it and climb to reach the next platform. The next trap is a duo of spinning blades. Wait for both to go down and then quickly run across. At the end of the hall there is a crank. Grab the lever of the crank (press and hold R) and use the Control Stick to move it and open the ceiling above you. Turn around and look to your left, there is a plate switch above you. Run up the wall and stab your dagger into the plate (press B) to pull out the block across from you. Quickly jump to theblock and run up the wall to the left to reach a ledge. Climb the ledge and jump to climb into the next area.

---

G. The Throne Room

There is a fountain here, use it if you wish. From the fountain, head right and climb the statue of the bird. Use the Landscape Camera if you wish, then run up the wall and stab the dagger into the plate. Run along the wall to the right to reach the next platform, then run along the wall to a shutter where you should initiate a Speed Kill for the Archer ahead. Run along the left wall to the next platform.

Use the Landscape Camera if you wish, then run up the wall ahead of you to reach the next platform. Run along the left wall and jump off the shutter to reach a ledge. Climb up the ledge, then jump up and stab the dagger into the plate. Jump across to reach another ledge, then shimmy to the right to a beam.Follow it to the center beam, and then jump across to the gap. Slide down, turn around, and wait for the the screen to become distorted so that you can use a Speed Kill on the Archer. From there, turn left and run up the wall to a ledge. Move to the right, around the corner, then jump up and stab the dagger into the plate. Run to the right and jump when you are parallel with the ledge on the pillar, then move left around the corner and jump to the column. Slide down to the column's midsection and wait.

Observe the archer above. When he turns around, ascend the column and jump to the railing on his platform, then quickly move behind him and do a Speed Kill. After that, turn right and climb over the railing, then jump to the column across from you. Turn to the gap ahead and jump to it, then slide down and turn around.

You will now attempt your first double Speed Kill on these two Guards. This is attemptable when two enemies are close together, and are usually scripted events. A double Speed Kill requires matching with four visual cues, but takesout two enemies at once. To my knowledge, they must always be done from above.Simply initiate the Speed Kill and go from there.

Afterward, turn around and head through the hallway to activate a major cutscene.

You now have the Dagger of Time, and more importantly, your first time power:The Recall. You can rewind time now (press and hold L) to undo your mistakes. Pretty handy, huh? Each rewind consumes one Sand Tank. To refill sand, you must defeat enemies of sand or break containers in the hopes that they may contain sand.

Go forward and turn right, and smash through the barricades. Continue following the hallway, and note that it is crumbling beneath you--so make haste! At the end, run up the wall on the left to reach a pressure plate, then run through the open door afterward.

This floor is crumbling as well, be wary as a section ahead of you will fallbefore you get to it. If you mess up, remember: you can rewind your mistakes now. Continue to the end of the hallway, then run up the wall and stab into the plate above. Then run to the left and stab into a plate, then run to the left to reach the next platform. Use the Landscape Camera if you wish, then run along the right wall to the curtain and slide down. Quickly go through the doorway before the floor falls away to reach the next area.

---

H. The Trapped Hallway

There is a fountain here, use it if you wish. From there, head right and go through the hallway until you reach a two panel traps. Wait for the first one to retract, cross it, and then do the same for the second one. Turn left to find a new type of trap, the spinning bladed columns. There are two here. Stand to the left and wait for the first one to go to the right before crossing past them both.

The next trap is a combination of two panel traps and a bladed column. Take a side, wait for the first panel to go down, make sure the column is not in the way, and then cross them all.

The next trap ahead is a bladed column, then a panel trap, and then another bladed column. Wait for the panel to go down, make sure the columns aren't in the way, and then run past them all.

At the corner on the right is a pressure plate, run up the wall to press it. Then turn around and head through the door before it closes.

Do not step on the floor in the middle or to the right, as it is crumbling.Circle around from the left to reach a column in the upper right corner, and jump to it. Ascend the column and jump to the next column behind you, and then ascend and jump to the column after that. Ascend that column and turn to the left, then jump to the ledge opposite you. Move to the right before the ledge falls, and around the corner to the end, then jump up to the next ledge. Move

all the way to the end and then jump to the column opposite you. Then, jump from the column before it crumbles and stab into the plate ahead of you. From there, run right along the wall to the next plate and stab into it, then do the same for the third plate. Then jump to the column opposite that plate, and jump to the one past that. Finally, jump to the left to land on a beam, and jump from the beam to reach the next platform.

Use the Landscape Camera if you wish, then jump to the curtain and slide down.Jump as you almost reach the bottom to avoid death and make it to the gap. Slide down the gap, then drop down to the next area.

I. The Ruined Palace.

There is a fountain here, use it if you wish. From there, go left and follow the hallway to the next set of traps--a bladed column between two panel traps. Simply choose a side, wait for the panel on that side to go down, and run past.

Make a left and face the next set of traps--three panel traps in a row. Wait for the first one to go down and quickly run to pass them all.

Next is a set of three bladed columns. Pick a side, wait for the first one to head away from you and then quickly run past them all. Head forward through the hallway, taking care to keep ahead of the crumbling floor, and you will eventually emerge in a room. There is a platform across the gap to the right of this room, jump across it to reach it. From there, head forward to the wall at end of the platform, then make a left and run along the right wall to reach the next platform.

Now you will engage a single Guard in Free-Form Fighting. Dispatch of him and move forward to the stone block. Jump forward across the pit to reach a ledge,and move left along the ledge to the next platform. Two more Guards will engage you in Free-Form Fighting. Eliminate them. To your right in a hallway is a chest that contains 10 Sand Credits. Sand Credits are used to buy artwork in the Extra Features section of the Main Menu.

Go back out and forward to a ledge ahead. Climb up the ledges to reach the next platform. A Guard will engage you in Free-Form Fighting, get rid of him. After that, turn back the way you came and climb up to the small platform. Go to the edge, jump to the plate across and stab into it. Then jump up and stab into the next plate, then jump up to the ledge. Climb it and move to the left to reach the next platform. Turn to the left and jump to the next platform, then run along the right wall and jump on the shutter to propel yourself to the next ledge. Move left along the ledge to reach the next area.

J. The Royal Chambers

There is a fountain in this area, use it if you wish. Move forward from here to step on the pressure plate and move through the doorway. Follow the stairs all the way down until you trigger a cutscene.

---

K. The Sewers

There is a fountain in this area, use it if you wish. Move forward to the edgeof the platform, and jump forward to grab the bar. You can swing from a bar (press and hold R), swing-jump (press A while swinging), and climb up a bar (press A). Swing-jump to the next bar, and do the same for the next one, and the next one, which will take you to the next platform. Turn left and move to the edge of the platform, then jump forward to then next bar. Shimmy around the bar (use the Control Stick) to the left around the corner, then shimmy up and around the next corner. Then turn around (use the Control Stick) and drop to the next platform.

Go up the stairs to the edge of the platform, then jump forward to the next bar. Climb up the bar, then jump to the ledge ahead of you. Shimmy to the leftaround the two corners, then drop into the gap. Slide down to the bottom and drop to the floor.

You will now encounter a new type of enemy, one that can only be fought usingFree-Form Fighting: the Reptus. These creatures aren't fast, but they are surprisingly strong and very effective defenders. They have a weakness to the light, however, and will be vulnerable when led into it. The easiest way to deal with these enemies is to lead them into the light, and then use the Aerial Landing Slice to quickly kill them. If there is no light to be found, then simple combos seem to work best to bring them down. The Reptus are also the first enemy that gives sand when it is defeated, so make a note of that. After defeating the Reptus, go down the hallway, run up the wall at the end and stab the plate switch ahead of you. From there, drop down to a ledge, and drop again into the gap. Slide down to the bottom of the gap. Jump to the bar ahead of you, and drop down to the next two bars, followed by dropping to the floor. Drink the water if you need health, then turn around and head forward to the stone ahead.

Use the Landscape Camera if you wish, then turn to the left and run up the wall to a plate to stab into. Jump up from there to another plate to stab into, and then run along the wall to the right to reach a ledge. Shimmy right until you turn a corner, then climb up and move right around the next corner. Line up with the column at the center of the room, and jump to it.

Slide down the column, the door has opened. Head through the door and out to the beam, then jump right to the gap. Slide down the gap and drop down to the floor. From here move forward and until you come to the edge of a pit. Use the Landscape Camera if you wish, then turn to the left and jump to the ledge on the wall ahead. Climb up, move to the right, then jump and climb up to the ledge above. Then move to the right and climb up to the next ledge, followed by jumping to the column in the center of the room.

Jump from the column to the bar on the opposite end, and swing-jump from the bar to the plate on the moving wall when it is completely out. Wait there until the wall is completely out again, then run along the wall to the right to reach the next platform.

Use the Landscape Camera if you wish, then turn left and run along the right wall to reach the next gap. Slide down and drop to the floor, then move to thecenter of the room to activate what we've all been anticipating...

...THE DARK PRINCE!!!

The Dark Prince has quite a few differences from the standard Prince we know and love, which makes his playable sections into quite a ride. Firstly, he isconstantly dying. Every second takes away another bit from his health--and if it reaches the end, he dies. The only way to replenish health is to use sand,which gives full health to the Dark Prince. Fortunately, virtually every container gives sand, and there is never a shortage of enemies to fight the Dark Prince--as we will soon see.

The Dark Prince excels at combat. Read his section in the 'Free-Form Fighting'section for intricate details, but newbies and button-mashers should be content with knowing that by alternatively pressing B and Y over and over again the Dark Prince will tear through almost any and all opponents, needing you only to point him at what to kill.

You begin in the thick of combat, as swarms of Reptus will seek to bring you down. Fight and kill them all--and don't worry, it'll take a while. After defeating all the enemies, head to the center of the room and face the stone with the lion's face emblazoned upon it. Pull out the stone (press and hold the Y button) to open the door behind you, and head through it quickly.

As you might have guessed, platforming is a bit more strenuous thanks to the drain on your life. Fortunately, that's what this guide is for. Head out onto the beam ahead and jump forward to reach the next beam, then jump forward again to reach a column. Descend it to reach the floor, where a group of Reptus are lying in wait. Destroy them all, and move forward out of the room. Make a right and you will see a bar, which you can jump and chain-swing (press Y while jumping) to. Jump and chain-swing across, then get some sand out of the pots on this platform.

From here, move out to the beam and jump forward, chain-swing, then chain-swing again to reach a gap. Slide down and drop to the bottom, where more Reptus await you. After destroying them, pull out the stone with your chain and then head through the door it opens. From here, run up the wooden wall ahead of you to reach a ledge above. Shimmy left and around the corner, then climb up and jump up to reach the next platform. Grab the sand from the adjacent pots, then turn around.

Run along the right wall to the ladder on the other side, and ascend it to thenext platform. Go to the upper left, climb up the platform, and stab the plateswitch ahead. After the wall moves out, jump to the bar and swing-jump to thenext bar. Climb up the bar, wait for the panel trap ahead of you to retract, and then quickly jump from panel to wall up to the platform above. Go forward,get the sand, and follow the hallway to the platform's edge. Move out to the beam, jump to the gap ahead, and then drop down.

You just touched a pool of the Water of Life. By touching this, you undo the transformation of the Prince into the Dark Prince. Why didn't I tell you this before? In the words of the Dark Prince: "And ruin all the fun?" = P

Head forward and jump up to the ledge on the right. Jump from there to the ledge on the left, then jump and climb to the ledge above you. Move left and line up with the moving wall. Jump and stab into the plate on the wall when itdescends to your level, then run to the left at its ascent to reach the next platform. Head forward to reach a room with four Reptus, and kill them all. Tothe left of the third archway is a plate switch, stab it to open the door ahead. Run through before it closes.

Now you have the opportunity to get your first optional Life Upgrade, which permanently extends your maximum health. If you want it, read on to the next section, otherwise simply skip it--unlike Warrior Within, there is no reward for getting all the Life Upgrades.

LIFE UPGRADE NUMBER ONE *OPTIONAL*

To your left is a curtain. Go through it, and head to the edge of the platform. Jump to reach the next platform, then turn right and jump to another platform. Turn left and move out onto the beam, then jump to the next beam, then the next, and then the next to reach the next platform. Turn right and move out to the end of the next beam, then jump forward to reach another beam. Turn left and jump to reach the final platform, and drink from the fountain ahead to start the Life Upgrade hallway.

Don't bother wasting your sand in this hallway--if you die, you'll be sent back to the beginning with no consequences. Only resort to using sand if it is of the utmost importance in completing the hallway.

You will encounter a pair of spinning blades first. Wait for them to go down, then quickly run past them. Move out onto the beam ahead, and drop into a hang. Shimmy upward until you reach a perpendicular beam, then climb up it. Move back to the center and forward to the edge of the beam. Wait for the two spinning blades to pass, then jump to the next beam. Finally, move as close to the platform as you can without moving from the beam. When the spinning blade ahead goes down, jump forward and head into the light to attain the Life Upgrade.

You will be teleported back to the fountain. From here, simply retrace your steps back to where you came.

END LIFE UPGRADE NUMBER ONE

Ahead is a trap of two spinning blades succeeded by a spike trap. Wait for theblades to pass, then run past them and over the trap floor, then stop. Wait for the second set of blades to pass, then run past those as well to reach the next area.

---

L. The Tunnels

There is a fountain in this area, use it if you wish. Head forward until you reach the platform's edge, then run along the wall to your left and jump at the end to reach the next platform. Turn left and run along the wall to the right to reach the ladder. Ascend the ladder, then jump to the ledge on the right. Climb up, then look up to be introduced to the newest trap--shooting arrows. Jump up to the next ledge, but remain in a hang. Wait until the arrows shoot, then climb up and jump to the right. Wait for the arrows to shoot again, then climb up and jump and climb to the platform above. From here, turn right and around until you get to the edge of the platform. Jump to the platform ahead, then jump again to reach the next platform with two new enemies--the Sand Archers. The Sand Archers are basically just Archers that

give you sand, so quickly Speed Kill one and then the other while their backs are turned.

From here, run up the wall to the ledge above and climb up. Move right, then jump and climb up to the next ledge, and then jump and climb to the next one above it. Shimmy right as far as you can, then drop to the ledge below. It's breaking, so quickly move right and jump back up to a ledge above.

From here, jump to the ledge on the opposite wall and move right. Then jump up to the next ledge, shimmy right, and drop down to the next ledge. This oneis also breaking, so quickly move right and jump up to the next ledge at the end. Climb up, and jump across to the ledge on the other side before that ledge breaks as well. Move right as far as you can, then jump and climb up tothe next ledge. Move right as far as you can.

Wait for the arrows to fire, then jump and climb up to the ledge above. Moveright as far as you can, wait for the arrows to fire, then jump up and shimmyright on the next ledge. Climb up.

The ledges above you are retracting. Wait until they both just go out, then jump and climb up both, move right, and jump and climb to the platform above to activate a cutscene and reach the next area.

M. The Fortress

There is a fountain in this area, use it if you wish. Use the Landscape Camera if you wish, then slide down the gap. You will see two new enemies, and a newobject. The object is a sand Gate, and you can get new Sand Powers from them. The gray enemy is a Sand Guard, the sand variant of the standard Guard. The red enemy is a Sand Gate Guard, and is special in three ways. Firstly, it has the ability to call for reinforcements from the Sand Gate. Since you cannot use the Sand Gate until all the enemies around it are defeated, this is not a good thing. Secondly, this enemy requires matching three visual cues to Speed Kill. Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, is that this enemy has a special secondary weapon. It is a sword that, when equipped, will constantly regenerate the Prince's Sands of Time! The power of nigh-limitless recall and other tricks are at your fingertips with the weapon. There is the drawback of the sword basically stripping you of your Left Hand in Free-Form Fighting because the durability is so low, and you'll lose the sword whenever you turn into the Dark Prince (which is usually conveniently right after a Sand Gate), but the benefits outweigh the drawbacks so heavily it's simply no contest.

Wait for the Sand Guard to move under you, then execute the Speed Kill. After he goes down, move behind the Sand Gate Guard and execute the Speed Kill. A tip to keep in mind is that now with the recall power, you can rewind Speed Kills if you mess up--be sure to do so if you do.

After killing him, step on the Sand Gate to gain a new Sand Tank. With this,you now have four Sand Tanks to draw upon.

After that, go left and move to the edge of the platform. Wait for the paneltrap ahead of you to retract, then run across the wall and jump when alongsidethe bar to reach the bar. Swing-jump to the next bar, and then swing-jump fromthere to the next platform with a Sand Archer. Get behind him and quickly Speed Kill him.

Turn to the left, and jump to the hanging chain. Descend the chain to the bottom and wait. Hang there until the two Sand Guards are close together, thenexecute a double Speed Kill. From there, circle around the building to locateand Speed Kill the Sand Archer. In the alley below is a Sand Chest containing 10 Sand Credits.

Go back to the chain and run up the wall of the small hut next to the chain toits roof. From there, run up the wall and stab into the plate, then jump and stab into the plate above. After that, run left along the wall and stab into the plate, then run along the wall to the left and jump off the shutter, to another shutter, which jumping off will propel you to a ledge. Drop from the ledge, turn around, and run up the wall opposite you to another ledge. Wait for the Sand Guard above to turn around, then jump up, climb over the railing,and execute a Speed Kill on the Sand Guard. Then move forward behind the SandArcher, and Speed Kill him as well.

There is a crank here, turn it, and then move forward to the narrow edge of the platform. Wait for the panel trap to retract (the first one was deactivated by the crank), and run across the wall to reach the next platform.

What's that? Oh, the Dark Prince is back. Here we go...

The torch on the wall ahead can be chain-swung from, extending the DarkPrince's wall-running ability. Run along the left wall and chain-swing from the torch to make it to the next platform. Jump forward and chain-swing to reach the next platform, then drop down to the Sand Archer below and prepare to do a Speed Kill.

However, the Dark Prince Speed Kills differently from the Prince. Fortunately,while it is different, it is also easier. Initiate the Speed Kill using the Ybutton, and then press the Y button repeatedly to snap the neck of the unluckyvictim. Brutal. >= D

Speed Kill the Sand Archer, then jump back up the ledges to the raised platform above. Use the Landscape Camera if you wish, then run along the left wall, chain-swing on the torch, and jump alongside the chain to reach it. Slide down to the bottom, and Speed Kill the Sand Archer below. Thankfully for the Dark Prince, Speed Kills from chains don't require anything but initiating the kill. How cool is that??? = D

Drop down and head up to the next Sand Archer, and Speed Kill him. Get behind the stone pillar after doing that and wait for the patrolling Sand Guard. When he turns around, sneak up behind him and execute a Speed Kill.

Now, this will herald an infinite amount of incoming enemies. Don't deal with them, instead turn to the column nearest the stone pillar (it has two vases by it), and ascend the column. Jump to the bar ahead, and swing-jump to the next bar and the next bar and the next bar, then swing-jump to the plate switch, stabbing the switch to open the gate.

Drop down, move around to the gate and pass through to reach a pool of the Water of Life. You are the Prince again. Move forward to reach the next sequence.

A CHARIOT SEQUENCE!

The chariot is simple to control. Press left and right on the Control Stick tomove the chariot left and right. Press the A button to speed up, however this is a completely unnecessary move. Use it only if you feel daring or suicidal.

The chariot is dangerous, however. If you smash into anything that isn't anenemy, you will die. Period. You can use Recall to rewind time if you die, butyou can only do this so many times. So, in short, be careful.

At the beginning, you will be assaulted by another chariot. Don't let it ram you into the wall, and do your best to ram it into a wall instead. Make sure you don't ram into a wall yourself when you do it, though. Eventually he willcrash, and you will move on.

There is a juncture up ahead, move right through it. You will be assaulted bytwo enemies next, one after the other, press the B button to slash them off. At the next juncture head left, then slash off the next enemy that comes. You can go down either path for the next juncture, but be warned that the upper road will be partially blocked by an enemy's cart. Slash the enemy that gets on your cart, then steer through to the climactic ending.

There. That wasn't so bad, was it? Cutscene time.

Head through to the end of the alley. Use the Landscape Camera if you wish, then run up the wall to the ledge, jump and climb up to the ledge above, and move around the corner. Then, jump over to the next ledge, and from there jumpand climb up to the platform above. Turn left and climb up the ladder, jump right to a ledge, then jump up to the ledge above. Jump from there to the ladder on the opposite wall, and ascend it to the next platform.

Turn right and head to the end of the alley, then climb over the right rail and jump to the ladder. Ascend the ladder, jump to the ledge on the other side, then move around the corner, jump to the next ladder, and ascend. Jump to the rail on the other side, and climb over to reach the next area.

---

N. The Lower City

There is a fountain here, save if you wish. Head forward and get on the beam. Use the Landscape Camera if you wish, then jump across to the next beam. Move forward and turn right at the next perpendicular beam, then move to the edgeand jump to the ledge. Move right and around the corner, then drop down to the next ledge, then drop again to another ledge. Drop into a hanging mode andshimmy right until you reach a beam, then move to the edge, and jump across the gap to reach a beam and the next platform. Turn around and move to the edge of the platform from the right, then run along the wall and initiate a Speed Kill on the shutter to eliminate the Sand Guard. Go through the doorway and Speed Kill the next Sand Guard.

Turn around now, and climb over the railing. Use the Landscape Camera if you wish, and drop to stab into the plate below. Wait until your screen is distorted, then perform a Speed Kill on the Sand Guard. Then, quickly move forward and Speed Kill the other Sand Guard. Turn right and move onto the nextbeam. Jump to the bar and swing-jump across to the gap. Slide down the gap, turn around, and wait. Wait until your screen becomes distorted, then executethe double Speed Kill. Afterward, quickly move up and around the portal behindthe Sand Gate Guard, and Speed Kill him. Go to the Sand Portal and you will

receive 100 Sand Credits.

Go through the archway to the left, step out into the alley, then go back intothe archway and turn your camera toward the alley. Wait for the two Sand Guards to come out into the alley and turn away from you, then come out and approach the Sand Guard on the left, Speed Kill him, then Speed Kill the Sand Guard on the right. Climb up the rubble with the brown canvas on top and then run up the wall and stab into the plate. Then, run along the wall to the right to reach a ledge. Shimmy right and climb over into the next room.

Now for the most frustrating enemy up to this point: the Hunter Hounds. These things are hard to hit, hit even harder, and steal your sand away from you. The easiest way to deal with Hunter Hounds are to play them defensively. Block constantly until you see the Hound try to steal your sand (a big sand cloud appears when they do this), then quickly stab them with your dagger to get an instant kill. Doing this, they become a snap. However, if you don't have any sand, they won't do this. If this is the case, then you will need to resort tostandard attacks. The easiest way to kill them normally is to knock them down with preferably a secondary weapon, but the dagger will do. Using Wall Rebound attacks are extremely effective in knocking them over. Then, stab them to killthem. There are two in this section, and yes, you can only combat them with Free-Form Fighting.

Turn left go forward to the edge of the platform, then run along the wall on the right to reach the next platform. Turn left and jump to the next platform. Run up the wall and climb over the railing, then turn to the right and jump to the next platform.

Time to be the Dark Prince. Quickly run forward and chain-swing to the next platform. Quickly run along the platform before it breaks and jump to the bar. Get on top of the bar and jump forward to reach the platform above you, then Speed Kill the Sand Archer. Then, quickly run along the left wall and chain-swing along the torch to reach the next platform. Quickly run and turn left on the platform before it breaks and jump at the edge, then chain-swing to the ladder on the other side. Ascend the ladder to reach the next area.

O. The Lower City Rooftops

You will reach a pool of the Water of Life, and become the Prince again. There is a fountain in this area, use it if you wish. From the fountain, turn right and wait for the Sand Archer on the building across from you to turn around. Then, jump across and Speed Kill him. Below you is another Sand Archer, wait for him to turn away and then descend and Speed Kill him.

Run along the right wall and jump off the shutter to reach another shutter on the opposite wall, then jump again to activate a cutscene. After it, turn right and then left to reach the edge of the platform, then jump across to the next rooftop. Then, run up the wall in front of you and wait for the Sand Archer to turn around. When he does, climb up and Speed Kill him.

Stay behind the vegetated wall and use the Landscape Camera to observe the two Sand Archers on the next rooftop. Wait until they turn around, and then jump across to the very rightmost part of the ledge (you should jump diagonally from the left on your platform to do it), but do NOT climb up. Birds will fly, but if you are on the right enough the two Sand Archers will not see you. Wait

for them to turn around, then Speed Kill the one on the left, followed by the one on the right.

Climb up to the next platform to activate a cutscene. Turn toward the building from the cutscene and jump across to the next rooftop. Use the Landscape Camera if you wish, then run along the wall on the right and jump off the shutter to reach a chain. Descend the chain and wait.

Two Sand Archers are here. Wait until the patrolling Sand Archer moves to theleft and the other Sand Archer is turned away from you. Then, drop down and Speed Kill the Sand Archer on the left, followed by the Sand Archer on the right. Move through the doorway to the edge of the platform, and jump across to the ledge. Drop down to the next ledge, and then drop again to get down. Head forward through the hallway until you reach a dead end, then run up theon your left and stab the plate. Then jump back to a ledge. Jump up to a ledgeabove, and jump again to reach the next platform. Run along the wall on your right and stab into the plate, then drop and stab into the plate below. Then, drop to the alley.

Go forward and smash the objects, then run up the wall and stab into the plate. Jump up and stab into the next plate, then run along the wall and stab into the switch. Two doors will open.

Now, from here, you can get another optional Life Upgrade, if you wish.

LIFE UPGRADE NUMBER TWO *OPTIONAL*

Drop from the switch and run into the doorway furthest from you, remembering to roll in order to make it through. Run forward at the edge of the platform and drop to the ledge below. Then drop to the next ledge on the left, followed by another ledge. Then, move to the right and jump across to the ledge on the other side. Then, drop down to the floor. Turn around and follow the hallway,and run up the walls as you get to them. At the end is a fountain, drink from it to start the Life Upgrade hallway.

You will be confronted with two Panel Traps at the beginning. Wait until they both start to go down, then run forward to the beam ahead. Ahead is a set of arrow traps, wait until they fire, then jump to the next set of beams. Quickly move to the center of the cross that the beams make. Wait for the arrows aheadof you to fire, then quickly move to the end of the beam and jump to the next set of beams, quickly climbing up so that you don't get hit. Move left to the next beam, and move forward to the edge. You will now have to deal with sliding ledges. Wait for the lowest ledge to retract and come back, then quickly jump to it. Then, *very* quickly jump to the ledges above as they appear. Run into the light to get the Life Upgrade.

END LIFE UPGRADE NUMBER TWO

Drop from the switch and run into the doorway closest to you to reach the nextarea.

P. The Arena.

There is a fountain in this area, use it if you wish. In fact, I recommend using it, as a boss fight awaits. Smash the pots on your left if you need some sand, then turn right and head out into the arena to face your first boss.

---

Boss: Klompa

Wait for the cutscene. Be impressed.

Big guy, isn't he? Don't worry, he's beatable, although he can be a bit irksome if you don't know what you're doing. Klompa has a few basic attacks at the beginning of the battle. When you are close, he will use his grab, which does very little damage on its own (in fact, it will never kill you on its own), but if he throws you into the spikes around the arena, you will suffer massive damage. He also has a one handed pound, a two-handed pound, and a sword strike, all of which can be dodged simply by running.

To beat Klompa, you will need to use the platforms on the arena's edge to ascend to his height. From the beginning, and hug the wall to reach a ramp. Ascend the ramp, and run along the wall to the right to reach a beam. Climb the beam, and then jump to the right to reach the next platform. Ascend the next ramp, then run up the wall and stab into the plate. Then, run to the left to reach the last platform. During all this, Klompa will attempt to hit you, but if you are quick, you needn't worry.

Step out onto the beam, and intiate a Speed Kill. Klompa requires you to matchwith three visual cues in his Speed Kill. The first one happens when you dive out, the second happens when he has you in his hand, and the third happens when you are on his face.

Run along the edge of the arena to the left until you reach another ramp. Then, run up the ramp and stab into the plate. Then, run along the wall to the right and stab into the next plate, then run along the wall to the right to reach the platform. Ascend the ramp and run up the wall to stab into the plate. Then, run along the wall to the final platform.

Step out onto the beam, and initiate a Speed Kill. Klompa requires again for you to match with three visual cues. The first one happens when you dive out, the second happens when Klompa raises his hand to you, and the third happens when the Prince is on his head.

Now begins the really tricky part of the battle. Klompa gains a few new attacks, most notably his wild sword slashing. If he hits you with this, it's over--a one hit kill. To dodge it, roll forward at him or roll to the side. Do not backflip, as the sword will hit you if you do so. Klompa also has a forward kick, which does moderate damage--but the real threat is that he often follows up this kick with a sword slash, which is then impossible to dodge. He also has a stomp, which does heavy damage, and if he steps on you normally, it will do minor damage. Save your sand for rewinding sword slashes.

To beat him in this state, circle behind him and slash at his legs.Continually slash him there and you will whittle down his health bit by bit. Klompa will try to move away and counterattack, but if you dodge correctly each time, you will eventually bring him down. At the end you will bring down

one leg, then the other, and then you will have to complete a final Speed Kill. The cues are three--one on his lower back, one when the Prince in the air, and the last when the Prince is on the back of the neck. If you miss any of these last three visual cues, Klompa will throw you off and gain back a little health, which you will of course have to take away. Complete the Speed Kill and Klompa will be finished at last.

A final note--there is a known glitch in this battle, where one of the visual cues will fail to appear. If you follow this specific pattern for the fight, you should not get the glitch. If you do, however, you can still complete the Speed Kill by recognizing exactly when the visual cue is *supposed* to be. They are listed above, of course, for your convenience.

Watch the cutscene with pride.

Q. The Arena Tunnel

Dark Prince Time! Quickly, run along either wall to the opposite platform. Then run up the wall ahead of you to reach the ledge. Move left and wait for the retracting ledge above to come out, then jump back and chain-swing to a ledge on the opposite side. Climb up to the next platform. Follow the hallway until you reach the end of this platform, where you will be confronted with a new trap--a motion crusher. On the opposite end of the pit ahead is a standard crusher, wait for it to start retracting and then quickly run and jump off the edge, then chain-swing to a ledge on the other side. If you're fast enough, the first crusher won't get you. Then, climb the ledge, waiting for the crusher to be safe, and jump up to the next ledge, and then the one after it. Directly above you is a beam, either jump up to it or move left along the ledge and jump from there. Then, jump to the right, wait for the two crushers, and then QUICKLY go to the upper right corner to smash pots for some much needed sand. Then turn left and descend the ladder to the bottom. Use the chain to pull out the block opposite you, then climb up the ladder to the level of the platform, jump to the platform, and quickly run toward and roll through the door.

Phew! Get some more sand here, then run along the wall on the right and chain swing on the torch to make it to a ledge. Move left and jump up to a ledge above, then jump and chain-swing to the opposite ledge. Jump up to a ledge above, then jump right from beam to beam to reach the next platform. Head right through the doorway and turn left to reach a pool of the Water of Life, and become the Prince again.

Go forward and head to your right to activate a cutscene, and reach the next area.

R. The Balconies

There is a fountain here, use it if you wish. The platform ahead of you has two enemies, wait until they turn around. Then, run along the right wall and initiate a Speed Kill to take out the Sand Archer. After that, Speed Kill the Sand Guard. Climb up the block on your left, and use the Landscape Camera. You have two options here. Either wait for him to move closer to you and then use the shutter to get a Speed Kill, or wait for him to move away from you and

then use the shutter to jump to him, then perform a standard Speed Kill. Either way, run along the left wall and use the shutter to get to the next platform. From here, climb over the railing in front of you and then jump to the next platform. Climb over and Speed Kill the Sand Guard. Then climb over the railing that the Sand Guard was facing to the next platform, then run up the wall in front of you and stab into the plate. Then run to the left, and stab into the next plate, then do the same for the third plate. Then, run to the left and jump when you are alongside the chain. Descend the chain and Speed Kill the Sand Guard from there.

Turn around and get on the beam, then move to the edge and jump to the chain in front of you. Descend the chain and wait. Wait until the two Guards are facing away from you and are close together, then execute the double Speed Kill. Look over the railing and you will see a Sand Gate Guard. Wait until he is facing away from you, then climb over the railing, drop, and Speed Kill him. Approach the Sand Gate to receive a new time power: The Eye of the Storm.

The Eye of the Storm is a very useful power. By using it (tap L), you will slow down time for everything but yourself. By doing this you can make combat easier and can get through traps that would otherwise be impassable.

After you get it, go back to the railing you jumped over. Run up the wall and climb over the railing. Follow the path until you are confronted by a gang of enemies. You will now have to use Free-Form Fighting to combat them. There are a total of four enemies, two Sand Guards and two Sand Archers. The same moves as before are effective, but now you can also slow down time to make the battle much easier. So, do that! If you run low on sand, you can always go back down to the street level to get more from the Sand Gate.

Now you will have to get through the door at the bottom by using the pressure plate up here, opposite the door. To make it through, use the Eye of the Storm, then run up and press in the pressure plate. Then, turn around, jump down to the street level, and hurry through the door.

Roll under the wood to reach the next area.

S. The Dark Alley

There is a fountain here, use it if you wish. From there, turn right and go into the light between the two walls. Use the Landscape Camera if you wish, then either one of the weapon racks to clear the way. Run up the wall and jumpfrom wall to wall up to a plate at the top, then stab into the plate. Then runalong the wall to the right. Turn right, run up the wall to a ledge, and climbthe ladder to the top.

Whoo! What a sight! Go forward and drop to the first rooftop. Birds will fly. Wait for a second, and don't rush the railing or the Sand Archer below will see you. Use the Landscape Camera if you wish, then drop when his back is turned and Speed Kill him. Take care so that the other Sand Archer across the way does not see you when you do it, however. Then, hide behind the railing until the other Sand Archer turns his back. Then jump over to the other building and Speed Kill him.

Afterward, run up the wall in front of you to activate a cutscene.

After the cutscene, hide behind the bushels of grain. Don't get too close tothe railing in front of that, or the Sand Guard ahead will see you. From here, you should barely be able to make out his head. If you can't, use the camera. When he is turned, leap over the railing and Speed Kill him.

From there, run up the wall ahead and stab into the plate. Then run to the left along the wall and stab into the next plate. Then run to the left along the wall to reach the next platform. You will now have to engage a Sand Archer and a Sand Guard in Free-Form Fighting. Engage them normally, keeping in mind that you can toss them off the roof if things get tough.

After they are dealt with, jump to the next rooftop ahead of you. You will nowhave to engage two more Sand Guards in Free-Form Fighting. You can also use the column in the middle to do Column Attacks, so remember that.

After you are done, a cutscene will appear.

After the cutscene, move through the doorway and turn left at the wall. Go out on the beam and jump to the gap ahead. Slide down the gap, turn around, and jump out to stab into the plate. Then, run along the wall to the right to slide down the curtain. Follow the hallway to the end, then run up the wall on the right to reach the next platform.

Run along the wall on the right to reach the curtain, then jump off the curtain when you are almost at the bottom to reach the next platform, before you fall to your death. Head through the doorway ahead, and turn left to get between the two walls. Use the Landscape Camera if you wish, then run up the wall (don't go all the way in the back of the corridor, or there will be a ceiling to stop you) and jump from wall to wall until you reach a ledge. Shimmy along the ledge to the left until you reach a beam, then go to its edge and jump to the next platform.

Turn right, and run along the wall on your left to make it over the pit. Then ascend the ladder on your left, and ascend the next ladder after that. Turn right, and there will be a cutscene.

T. The Temple Rooftops

There is a fountain here, use it if you wish (it's right behind you, in the darkness, and a little hard to see).

Time for a new type of enemy--the Chameleons! These are mostly like Reptus, the big difference being that Chameleons are invisible until struck. Well, mostly invisible. You can make out their outlines if you're paying attention. They make a very loud, distinctive (and annoying) noise when they are around. You can engage them in Free-Form Fighting combat if you wish, there are five or so.

After you drop down, head forward and around the big stone, circling to the right. On its right side, run up it and stab into the plate. Then, jump up to the ledge and shimmy to the right around one corner and then the other. Jump over to the column from here and ascend it. Then jump to the plate opposite you and stab into it. Then run along the wall to the right and jump off the shutter to activate a cutscene.

From where you start, jump forward to reach the next platform. Careful, there is a Chameleon here. Kill him, then turn your attention toward the bell. We're going to have to pull (hold R and use the Control Stick) this back so you can reach the alcove above you.

After pulling it, run up the wall to reach the alcove. Climb up, then run upthe wall and stab into the plate switch to activate a cutscene. Drop out of the alcove, then get on the bell and from it, run along the right wall to reach the platform you first jumped on. Then enter the door before it closes.

Turn right and jump over the pit to the ledge on the other side. Move right and then jump over and stab the plate opposite you. Then, run along the wall to the left to reach a ledge. Move left quickly before the ledge falls and jump opposite you to stab into a plate. Then run along the wall to the right to reach a ledge. Move all the way to the right, then jump and stab into the plate above. Then jump across to the plate switch opposite you and stab into it. Drop to the ledge below and quickly shimmy to the left. Then, climb up the ledge and jump to the ledge on the other side. Then quickly go to the right and jump up to the next ledge before yours disappears.

From here, climb up on the ledge and move to the right. Then, jump up to the next ledge. Shimmy right, then drop down to the next ledge and move right. Then jump to and stab into the plate on the other side. Then run along the wall to the left and jump to the other side. Go forward and run up the wall to reach a ledge, then climb up and jump over to the next room.

More Hunter Hounds. Man, I hate Hunter Hounds. Kill them as you did before. There are five in all. After they're all dead, go to your right and climb the small stone block. Use the Landscape Camera if you wish, then run along the left wall, all the way around the curve until you are alongside the bar, then jump off to the bar. Swing-jump and stab into the plate switch. A platform will raise. Drop and run to the platform, and run up it to reach it. Climb upand run along the left wall, around the curve to reach the next platform.

Then, run along the next left wall, around the curve and jump when you are alongside the bar to reach it. Climb up the bar, turn around, and jump to the wall. Climb the wall, and jump to the next wall in front of you, the one with a big dagger plate on it to reach a ledge. Move right along the ledge to reach a platform, and run up the wall to stab into the the plate. Then, run along the wall to the left and jump at the end to reach another bar. Swing-jump to the beam in front, and then wait. Turn the camera and wait until the Sand Guard at the window turns around, then jump to the platform past that.

Use the Landscape Camera if you wish, then turn around and climb over the narrow railing. From there, jump to the beam, and then jump again to stab into a plate on the wall. Then run along the wall to the left and jump off the shutter to reach another plate, which you should stab into. Then, run along the wall to the left and stab into the next plate.

From here, wait until the two Sand Guards below you get close together, then initiate the double Speed Kill. Then circle around the Sand Gate and Speed Kill the Sand Gate Guard.

Go to the Sand Gate and receive a new Sand Tank. That makes five!

Now, see the bell in this room? Imagine that the window next to the bell is due north. From there, take the bell to the southeast corner of the room. Get

on the bell once you're there, and run up the wall to stab into the plate. Then jump up and stab into the next plate, and finally jump up and climb up to activate a cutscene.

Climb over the rail ahead of you and jump to the rail on the other side. Then climb over and turn the crank. After you do that, go back over the rail anddrop down. Get on the stone step, and then run up and stab into the plate. Then run along the wall to the right and stab into the next plate, then do the same for the third plate. Then, jump up to the open wall and climb up, then drop down on the other side.

There are two cranks here--one on the right next to where your partner is, and one to the left. Pull the crank on the left, and then pull the one on the right to activate a cutscene.

After that, pull the crank on the left to activate another cutscene. Afterthat, pull the same crank to activate yet another cutscene.

Oh, and also herald the return of more Hunter Hounds. I hate Hunter Hounds. There are four in all. After defeating them, go back to the wall you originally dropped down from, run up it, and drop back down into the bell tower. Then return to the very first crank you pulled, and pull it again to activate a cutscene.

Push the bell under the plate switch, then get on the bell, run up the wall, and stab into the switch to activate a cutscene. You will need to stab into the switch again after the cutscene, and then climb up to the left and go through the door.

In this room, move along the ledge to the left at the gap. Move along it to the end, then jump across and stab into the plate. Then run along the wall to the left to reach the next platform. Next, run up the wall and stab into the plate, jump up to reach a ledge, and climb it. Then move right around the corner and jump up to another ledge. Move around the next corner, line up with the next small ledge, and jump to it. Then jump to the plate and stab into it. Then run along the wall to the left to reach the next platform. Follow the hallway to reach the next area.

U. The Temple

There is a fountain in this room, use it if you wish. Opposite the fountain is a plate switch, run up the wall and stab it to open the door. Go through and all the way down the stairway to activate a cutscene.

After the cutscene, you will transform into the Dark Prince. Climb over the railing and jump across to the opposite ledge. Drop to the beam below, then climb up and jump to the beam ahead. Wait for the screen to become distorted, then execute a Speed Kill on the Sand Guard below. Kill the Hunter Hound thatcomes up, then run along the left wall to reach the next platform. Use the Landscape Camera if you wish, then turn right and run along the left wall, andjump when you are alongside the bars, then chain-swing from the first bar tothe second bar to the platform at the other end. Then turn to the left and runalong the right wall, then jump at the end of the wall to reach a beam. Climb the beam and jump forward to the next beam. Then wait for the screen to becomedistorted, and then perform a Speed Kill on the Sand Guard below.

Kill the Hunter Hounds that appear (there are two), then look to the stone ahead and use your chain to pull it out of the wall. After you do that, jump to the stone and climb it. Then, run up the wall on the right and jump at the apex of your run to reach the next platform. Turn right through the doorway.

In the next room, drop into a hang off the edge of the platform, and shimmy right along the ledge. Use the chain to pull out the stone, then jump to the stone. From here, turn right and run along the wall, chain-swinging on the twotorches and then jumping from the first shutter to the next shutter to finallyreach the next platform.

Go up and Speed Kill the Sand Guard ahead of you, and then double back and Speed Kill the Sand Guard behind you. Finally, kill the Hunter Hound that comes up. Use the Landscape Camera if you wish, then go through the archway and run along the right wall, chain-swing on the torch, and then jump at the end of the wall, and finally chain-swing to the next platform.

From here, turn left and run along the right wall to the gap ahead. Jump and chain-swing to the next gap, then jump forward to reach the next platform. From there, turn left and run along the right wall to reach the next platform.

From here, go through the archway and turn right. Use the Landscape Camera if you wish, then run along the right wall to reach a curtain. Slide down the curtain and jump right before you hit the bottom, then chain-swing to the nextcurtain. Slide all the way down to the floor.

Now you will be forced to fight a number of Reptus. There is also a Sand Chestin here with 10 Sand Credits. Dispatch all the Reptus, then run on the pressure plate to open the door. Go through the door before it closes. The next room also has a pressure plate, step on it and a number of traps will appear. The first is a twirling blade, roll under it to the right. Then run past the two crushers when they retract, and finally roll past the last twirling blade on the right. If you activate the Eye of the Storm for this, it becomes a breeze.

Run through the door at the end to find a pool of the Water of Life. You are now the Prince again.

To your left is a crank. Pull it to drain the water.

A new type of enemy will appear after you drain the water--the Illusion. The Illusions throw blades at you and constantly shift position, occasionally rushing you. To beat them easily, slow down time and then strike them repeatedly with the dagger. To the right of the crank's alcove there is an indented wall with a broken pillar in the foreground. Run up the wall and jumpto said column, ascend, and then turn to the right and jump to the next column. From here, jump backward to reach the next platform. Turn to the left and run along the right wall, all the way around the curve, and then jump when you are alongside the bars. Climb up and then jump up to the bar above you, then swing-jump to the next bar.

From here you can get another Life Upgrade, if you so desire.

Head forward to the edge of the platform, then run along the left wall to the curtain. Jump at the bottom of the curtain to reach the curtain on the other side, and slide down to the floor. Go forward, make a left, and drink from the fountain to start the LifeUpgrade hallway.

Run along the right wall to the shutter ahead, and jump from shutter to shutter all the way down the hall--there are nine shutters in total. At the end, you will encounter some crumbling columns, each separated by spinning blades. Wait for each blade to go down, and then jump to the next column. Do not hold the A button after the jump, as if you are still holding it at the end of the jump it can cause the column to fall prematurely. After you clear the last one and reach the platform, run into the light to get the Life Upgrade.

To return to the initial room, turn around and head back the way you came,until you reach the end of the hallway. Then run up the wall to the left, step on the pressure plate, and enter the door to reach the room again.

There are two other Sand Creatures here, a Sand Guard and a new type of Sand Creature: the Thrall. The Thrall is lighter colored, has extremely disturbing attire, and takes a whopping five matches of visual cues to Speed Kill. It is also quite resilient, though sustained combinations in Free-Form Fighting will bring it down.

Turn toward the Thrall and execute a Speed Kill on it from above. Afterkilling it, run up the wall opposite the column and stab into the plate, then quickly jump to the column and ascend it. Jump to the other opposite wall and stab into the plate, then wait for the Sand Guards to get close together. When they are close, execute the double Speed Kill.

Climb up, jump to the next ledge, then shimmy to the left and climb up to the next platform with a Sand Archer. Speed Kill it quickly.

Climb over the railing and jump to the beam. Climb up and jump to the ledge ahead, then shimmy to the right. Then drop, turn to the right, and head forward to trigger a cutscene.

Now we're the Dark Prince. Oh, man.

Climb over the railing and jump forward, then chain-swing to reach the ledge on the other side. Drop down to the floor, then battle the Illusion enemies here. There is also a chest here with 10 Sand Credits. Kill them all, then climb up the ledge on the right side of the other wall. Jump and climb up to the next ledge, and then jump back and chain-swing to reach a beam. Jump from

the beam to the next platform. Go through the door to your right and go forward to the wall. Turn on the Eye of the Storm, then run on the pressure plate and quickly go through the door when it opens.

Turn left, use the Landscape Camera if you wish, and then head forward and over the railing. Drop down to the curtain, and slide down to the floor.

Now we get to fight a new type of enemy. Yippee. -_- The Enchantress is a tough cookie. They are impossible to Grab Throw, so don't even try it. In fact, they are immune to all grab moves. They are extremely good defenders, and have no discernable attributes to exploit. However, they are physically weaker than your average Sand Creature. So if you slow down time and then attack them, you will hit them more often and thus kill them more effectively. Still, be prepared to be annoyed by these things. And of course, they can only be engaged in Free-Form Fighting--no Speed Kills for you.

A final note--many Enchantresses do not give Sand. Be very wary as the Dark Prince.

Also, since you are the Dark Prince right now, they're not exactly that tough.Slaughter them. After they are dead, a trio of Illusions will appear, kill them to get some much-needed sand.

Head around the pillar until you see a column, jump on the column, and ascend it. Jump toward the stone pillar to the left to grab a ledge, then shimmy left around the corner. Climb up, then jump and climb up to the next ledge. There is a Sand Archer on the opposing platform, jump to it and Speed Kill him. Next, run along the wall on the right to reach the next platform.

Turn left to see a pair of Enchantresses, kill them both. Then head forward, turn left, and jump to reach the next platform, but do NOT climb over the railing. There is a Sand Archer here--wait until he comes out, then hop over the railing and Speed Kill him as well. Head through the doorway. Go forward and into the upper left alcove. Run up either wall of the alcove and jump from wall to wall to reach the next level. Go through the next doorway.

There is a Sand Archer on the other side of the level, make sure to avoid or block his arrows. Turn the crank on the right side, then run along the left wall, jump, and use the chain-swing to get to the next platform. Go through the door on your left, kill the Sand Archer, and head through the next door and over the rail to reach a pool of the Water of Life.

We are now the Prince again. Huzzah!

Head forward and over the railing. Turn left. You will be confronted with a number of small spinning blades. Stand in the middle, wait until the blades are passing through the center, and then quickly roll past them all.

For the next group of mini-blades, pick either the left side or right side andwait for the row of blades to move away from you, then run toward them and move to the opposite side when the other row of blades passes you, then run toward the end wall.

Run up the wall and stab into the plate, then jump up to the ledge above. Jumpup again to reach another ledge, then jump up again to reach the platform above. Move forward to activate the next cutscene.

If you like, turn around and go back to the floor below, then smash the weapon rack to get a secondary weapon for the upcoming boss battle. Then go back up, and run up the wall to reach the next area.

Y. The Brothel

There is a fountain here, use it if you wish. From the fountain, run to the right and we will face our second boss of the game. From observing the credits, I think I have discerned her name, but I could be mistaken. If I am, I apologize, and please contact me if you know this boss' real name.

---

Boss: Mahasti

There will be a short cutscene. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Mahasti is a boss in the vein of the one-on-one battles found inthe previous game, Warrior Within--specifically, that of Shahdee. Mahasti has a myriad of moves. The first and most devastating health-wise is her long combo strike. However, the strike is easily blocked and can be countered as well. But perhaps even more deadly is her kick, which while not very strong physically and also slow, can bypass the block and kick the Prince right off the rooftop to his doom. Mahasti also has a nasty little habit of blocking most attacks and even countering counter-strikes.

So, what do we do? The most effective move against her in this first state isthe Aerial Landing Slash, so use it at will against her. The Counter-Attack iseffective too, as well as any slow-motion combinations. Be warned, however, try to save your sand for the upcoming portion of the battle.

Eventually you will lock your blades, a la Warrior Within. Press B repeatedly to drive her back, and continue fighting. Eventually you will lock your bladesagain, and she will inevitably overpower you. This will force a change into the Dark Prince, heralding the second half of the battle.

As the Dark Prince, now you can easily tear Mahasti to pieces. So, in a verypredictable fashion, she will now flee you whenever you approach her. Theidea is to chase her around the buildings and activate slow-motion when you see her so that you can get in a lot of hits before she runs away again, and beat her this way. Of course, you'll be dying during this, so in between her buildings are buildings with Illusion enemies. Make sure to kill them each time to both get the sand for slowing time and for replenishing health.

When she gets to critical health, she will jump one last time and you will have to fight her and kill her in one last blade clash. Overpower Mahasti with pressing B rapidly and you will prove the superior warrior.

Not too bad, right?

Smash the objects for sand, then climb into the window. Go right, then left, and use the Landscape Camera if you wish. Then run along the wall to the right, and jump to chain-swing to another ledge. Shimmy right along the ledge, then jump and chain-swing to a suspended chain. Descend the chain to the bottom and Speed Kill the Sand Guard beneath.

Then, drop from the chain and sneak up on the other Sand Guard to Speed Killhim. After that, go to the left and run up the wall to hit the pressure plate.Run through the open door to your right before it closes.

Now, go forward and hide behind in the alcove on the left just before thealley's corner. Wait there, and eventually a Sand Guard will come, Speed Killhim when he passes you. Then turn left around the corner, roll under the hole, and make another left. Smash the obstacles, make one more left, and turn againthrough the doorway to reach a pool of the Water of Life.

We are finally the Prince again. Phew.

AA. The Upper City

There is a fountain here, use it if you wish. There is a wooden structure in the upper left corner, climb it to the midsection, and then run along the wallto the left, jumping at the end to reach the next platform. Pull the crank ahead of you, then jump back off to the floor. Pull the wooden structure alongthe grooves in the floor all the way to the end, then climb to the beam on topof it and jump back to the platform again. Pull the crank back in position, jump back to the beam, and jump to the new gap ahead of you. Climb the gap, turn around, and jump across to the next level of beams. Follow the center beam to the end, then jump to the next gap. Climb the gap, then turn and jump to yet another set of beams. Below are two Sand Guards. Get directly above the one on the left when he is closest to the one on the right, and initiate the double Speed Kill.

Next, push the crank. Run away from it toward the gap and jump to grab the ledge above the newly opened door, wait until the patrolling Sand Guard turns

away from you, then drop to his level and Speed Kill him. Go through the door,turn to the left, and run along the wall on the right to the shutter, jumping from shutter to shutter to shutter to reach the next platform. Go through thenext doorway to activate a cutscene.

Use the Landscape Camera if you wish, then go to the edge of the platform, runalong the left wall, and jump at the end to reach a beam. From there, jump tothe suspended chain and descend to the ground. A group of Reptus will attack you. Kill them all, then run up the wall with the pressure plate and go through the door it opens.

In the next alley, go forward and quickly Speed Kill the Sand Guard ahead. Then turn around and run up the left wall to a ledge above, and jump from this ledge across to another. Climb up the ledge and move to the right to reach the next platform. Turn right, then run along the left wall and jump from shutter to a beam, and jump from this beam to the next one. Wait for the Sand Guards below to get very close together, then execute the double Speed Kill.

Go forward, use the Landscape Camera if you wish, then ascend the ladder on the right. Jump left and back again from wall to wall to reach the next platform above. Turn around and face the edge of the platform, and then jump from the wall ahead to the beam above. Then, climb from the base of the beam to the next platform above.

Go to the edge of the platform and run along the wall to your left to a beam,then jump from the beam to a platform. Use the Landscape Camera if you wish, then turn right and move to the ledge ahead of you. Drop from this ledge to the next and the next, then move left to reach the next platform.

Use the Landscape Camera if you wish, then run along the wall to the right andjump from shutter to shutter to a ledge. Move to the right, wait for the screen to distort, then perform a Speed Kill on the Sand Guard below.

Move up to the wall, turn right, approach the edge of the platform, run along the wall on your left, and jump on the shutter to reach the next platform. Runalong the wall on your left and jump at the end to reach a beam. Move out to the end of the beam and wait.

When the two Sand Guards are close together and the Sand Gate Guard is turningaway, drop into a hang and execute the double Speed Kill. Then, quickly move forward and Speed Kill the Sand Gate Guard as well. Use the Sand Gate to obtain the Winds of Sand Power, an attack that allows you to knock back enemies with sand (tap L while holding R). Each Winds of Sand attack uses two Sand Tanks.

Move forward to the wall with a pressure plate, and run up it to open the door. Then slow down time and quickly run through the door. Head through the hallway, climb over the railing, and smash the objects ahead to reveal a wicker basket. Drag the basket out of the alcove, to the left, and forward to the wall ahead. Then, climb the basket, run up the wall, and climb over it. Move forward and drop down, then turn right and head to the end of the hall.

Jump up the stone, run up the wall ahead, and stab into the plate. From there, run to the left, jump, and stab into the next plate. Jump up to the ledge, then shimmy right to reach the next area.

AB. The City Gardens

There is a fountain here, use it if you wish. Head through the doorway to the edge of the platform, and jump across to the bar ahead. Swing-jump forward andstab into the plate ahead, then run right along the wall and stab into the next plate. Drop to the ledge, move right around the corner, then climb up and jump to the next ledge. Shimmy to the right until you are above a beam, then drop to the beam, jump across to the next beam, then jump and climb up to the ledge above. Move right around the corner and jump across to the next beam. Then, jump up and stab into the plate, followed by running along the wall to the right and stabbing into the next plate. Then run along the wall to the right to reach a platform. Birds will fly, alarming a Sand Guard above. Wait for him to calm down, then jump up to his level when his back his turned and perform a Speed Kill. Hop over the rail ahead and jump to the bar away from you. From there, swing-jump to the next platform and run off the front edge into a hang. Then, shimmy to the right around the corner and drop down to the next ledge.

From this ledge, jump to the left to the opposite ledge and drop into a hang.Shimmy to the right as far as you can, then climb up and jump over to the tree, which functions as a column. Slide down and jump to the next tree, and jump from tree to tree to tree, finally ending with a jump to the ledge ahead of you. Wait for two Sand Guards to move below the ledge and close to each other, then execute the double Speed Kill over them.

Use the Landscape Camera if you wish.

From there, move around the left side of the stone pillar and Speed Kill the next Sand Guard, and then the one right after him. Go back to that stone pillar run up the wall with the plate switch, and stab into it. Drop and move between the pillar and the wall, and jump from wall to wall back up to the ledge. Retrace your steps back past the trees and to the ledge on the great stone pillar that you jumped to the trees from. Shimmy all the way to the left, and drop down to the beam below at the end. Jump from this beam to the one on the opposite side, and jump up to the ledge above. Shimmy all the way to the left, then climb up and jump across to a ledge on the left. Shimmy left, then drop and stab into the plate below. Then drop to the floor.

From this platform, turn right and head out onto the beam. Turn right here, and jump from beam to beam until you reach the wall. Move right past the corner, and then jump backward to the bar. Climb up the bar, then jump and climb up the bar above it, and finally turn around and jump toward the wall.

Climb up onto the beam and move up the center one. Jump from it to the tree ahead, then slide down midway and jump to the beam across from you. Use the Landscape Camera if you wish, then jump and stab into the plate across the way. Run along the wall to the right and stab into the next plate, then run to the right to reach a beam. Drop into a hang off the beam, then wait for the Sand Guard farthest away from you to just turn around--when he does, execute a Speed Kill on the Sand Gate Guard. After killing him, quickly run off the platform behind you and drop into a hang. Shimmy to the left behind the statue, then wait for the Sand Guard in the background to turn around. When he does, shimmy left, climb up, and Speed Kill the closest guard, and then quickly go and Speed Kill the last guard.

The Sand Gate is now open. Step on it to claim your prize, the final Sand

Tank. Six in all, baby.

Opposite the Sand Gate is a stone pillar, run up it and stab the plate switch.Then head to the tree, ascend it, and jump to the beam at the left when you reach the top. Move forward and jump to the newly risen rooftop, then jump forward to the ledge across from there. Move left, then drop to the beam belowand jump to the beam across from there. Then jump and climb up to the above ledge, and move all the way right.

From here, jump to the ledge on the right, and then move right and drop to theledge below that. Wait until the two Sand Guards are close together and the patrolling one is nearest you, then execute the double Speed Kill. From here,turn right to the edge of the platform. Run along the left wall to the bar, shimmy right, swing-jump to the ledge on the opposite side, and move all the way right. When the two Sand Guards are close together and the patrolling one is closest to you, execute the double Speed Kill. Now, drop down to the floorbelow you, a cutscene will ensue.

Get ready now, it's time for a miniboss.

Miniboss: Stone Guardian

Seemingly plucked from the lumbering giants in Warrior Within, this semi-bossis another homage to that game. He has many of the moves those enemies had, including the same types of punches, rushes, and even walking style.

Or maybe I'm just going nuts.

Either way, he's a real pushover. Circle behind him, slash at his legs a few times, and he'll fall over. Press B while facing his back and the Prince willget on him, a visual cue will ensue, and matching it will make the Prince begin to ride him through the gardens.

Now comes the real challenge. You'll have to guide this brute through the corridors without crashing--if you do, he'll come tumbling back down on you, and that's no good. One hit kill. >_<

So navigate him much like the chariot. He can brush off sideswipes, but he can't take a full-on collision. For your information, you will need to:

-Turn right and bash through a door-Turn left-Turn right-Turn right again-Turn left-Turn right-Turn left-Turn right-Turn right again-Turn right yet again-Turn left-Turn left again-Turn right-Turn right again-Turn left

-Bash through the door ahead

And that's that. Really easier done than said, actually. After it, ascend theladder on the right to reach the next area.

AC. The Canal

There is a fountain here, use it if you wish. There is also a Life Upgrade nearby, if you so desire it.

---

LIFE UPGRADE NUMBER FOUR *OPTIONAL*

From the fountain, turn right and roll through the hole ahead. Turn left and move along the ledge on the right wall. Move all the way left, then drop to the next ledge and continue left, then drop to the platform below.

Turn left at the next platform and move along the ledge on the right wall. Move all the way left and then jump across to the ladder on the other side. Descend the ladder and jump across to the platform, then move forward to find the fountain. Drink from it to start the Life Upgrade hallway.

Go forward and turn left to find your first set of traps, bladed columns combined with spiked floors. Stand to the right, wait until the columns move left and up respectively, then quickly roll past the set of traps.

Make a right and move to the edge of the platform. For the next trap consisting of spinning blades along the wall, wait until the first blade clears the upper half of the trap and then run along the left wall to the opposite platform.

The next trap is a set of bladed columns with a floor of spikes between them. Pick a side to cross on, then simply wait for the first column to move away and run through the set of traps. The last trap is a simple spinning blade, wait for it to go down and then run toward the light to gain the Life Upgrade.

END LIFE UPGRADE NUMBER FOUR

AD. The Promenade

There is a fountain here, use it if you wish. Head forward, make a left, andhead down the hallway to Speed Kill the Thrall at the end. If that's too risky for you (WTF?), you can always hop on the wooden crate in the alley,jump to the bar above, and swing-jump to the next bar before climbing up it and waiting for the Speed Kill. Either way, just kill the bastard.

Afterward, grab the wicker basket to the right (it's an unusual dull brown), and drag it to the upper left corner of the alley so that it's positioned at the edge of the platform along the right wall. Climb on the basket, run along the right wall, and jump from wall to wall until you grab the platform above. However, do NOT climb the platform. Wait for the Thrall to turnaround, then climb up and Speed Kill him.

After dispatching of him, run up the wall with the pressure plate to activatethe lowering of the right wall. Turn around, go to the edge of the platform, run along the right wall to the shutter, and jump from it to the ledge ahead. Move right around the corner, then jump and climb up to the next ledge. Next,jump from wall to wall to reach the platform above.

Use the Landscape Camera if you must, then run along the wall to the right andjump from shutter to shutter to reach the next platform. Climb over the rail and head forward to activate a cutscene.

The Dark Prince...again?!? Yes, it's true. Swallow your pride and let's get onwith it. Move forward and jump toward the suspended chain. Descend the chain.To deal with the Thrall, either jump down after him and Speed Kill himnormally, or wait for him to come back and Speed Kill him from above. Either way, kill him and then dispatch the two Hunter Hounds that appear. To your right just outside the doorway is a plate switch, stab it. Then move to theedge of the platform ahead, run along the right wall while chain-swinging fromthe torch, and reach the curtain. Jump at the bottom of the curtain, and chain-swing to the next platform.

There are three Enchantresses and a Hunter Hound here, kill them all. Then move to the upper right and stab the plate switch. Use the Landscape Camera if you wish, then run along the wall to the right, chain-swing, and jump from shutter to shutter to shutter to a platform with a Thrall. Kill him quickly.

Turn left, use the Landscape Camera if you wish, then run along the right wall to jump from shutter to shutter to shutter, and chain-swing at the end to reach the next platform. There are two Thralls here and a Hunter Hound, kill them all. Then turn left and run along the right wall to the next platform.

To the right on the platform is a plate switch, stab it. From there, turn around and climb the beam, and jump from the beam to the newly risen rooftop.Jump from the rooftop to the platform ahead, and then run up the upper left wall on the platform, jumping at the apex of your run to reach the next roof.

Use the Landscape Camera if you wish, then run along the left wall, jump when you are alongside the bar, and chain-swing twice to reach the next platform.Move to the ledge on the right side, drop into a hang, and shimmy to the right. Use the chain to pull out the stone block, jump to it, then run along the wall on the left to a ladder. Descend the ladder, pull out the stone block at the bottom, and jump to the block. Turn left, run along the wall to the right, and jump at the end of the wall to land in a pool of the Water of Life.

We are the Prince again. Finally! ^_^

Turn right and jump up the ledge, then leap over the railing to the next platform. Climb over the railing on the left and jump to the bar ahead. Then,swing-jump from bar to bar until you reach a beam, and head out to the end ofthe beam and jump to the suspended chain. Descend the chain.

Wait in suspension until the Thrall is below you and the Sand Gate Guard has just turned away, then execute the Speed Kill on him. After killing him, quickly duck behind the wooden edifice and run up it to reach the ledge above. Climb up, then jump and climb over the railing to reach the top of thestructure. Use the Landscape Camera to get a view of the Sand Gate Guard on the second level. When he moves close to the edge, run along the wall on the left, jump off the first shutter, and then use the second shutter to initiatea Speed Kill on him. There is a Sand Chest up here, smash it to get 10 Sand Credits. After that, turn left from the crate, run up the stone, and climb it to the top.

Turn around and run along the left wall to reach the beam on the opposite side. Move right and line up with the suspended chain, then jump to it and descend to the bottom. Wait on the chain until the Sand Gate Guard turns away, then do the Speed Kill on the Thrall below you.

After it, quickly run to the left behind the large wall in the center to avoiddetection. Run up the wall and climb up to the top, then go right and jump tothe beam across the way. Wait for the screen to distort, then perform a Speed Kill on the Sand Gate Guard.

All done. Go to the Sand Gate to recieve a prize of 200 Sand Credits.

Circle around left now to find the doorway, and pass through it. Climb over the stone and follow the hallway until you see a hall of crushers with miniature spinning blades suspended above them. To pass them, simply wait for the first crusher to retract and then move down the hallway normally, weaving through the crushers as quickly as possible in order to avoid death. It's not as hard as it sounds.

Continue down the hallway to reach the next area.

AE. The Royal Workshop

There is a fountain here, use it if you wish. From the fountain, turn right and stab the plate switch, then drop to trigger a cutscene.

Time for the biggest puzzle in the game. And yeah, it can be the most annoying as well, if you don't know what you're doing.

From the beginning, run forward toward the statue. There is a column to the left of the statue, jump to it and ascend. Jump to the platform on the left, then run up the wall and jump to reach the bar above. Turn around and shimmy left, then climb up to the platform. From there go left and jump up to the ledge on the left. Shimmy left past the two corners, then jump across to the ledge on the other side. From there, shimmy left and then climb onto the platform.

You can use the Landscape Camera from virtually anywhere in this massive room.This is to help determine the location of the statue, which will eventually bemoved all the way to the end of this room.

Ahead and to your right is a crank and a plate switch. The crank controls the direction of the plate switch, and each time the plate switch is used theaction the crank determines happens. This plate switch controls the swiveling of the statue, and the crank determines whether it swivels left or right. It's fine where it is right now.

Climb the ladder to the left cross the bridge, and descend the ladder to find the plate switch that controls the lateral movement of the statue. The plate switch makes the action happen, while the crank determines whether the statuemoves forward or backward. This is also fine how it is for now. In fact, go ahead and stab the plate switch right now to get a jump start on this puzzle.

Head back to the switch that controls swivel movement and stab that to make the statue turn right now. Then, stab it again to make the rotation 180 degrees.

Go back to the lateral movement switch and stab it again, which will send the statue going down the hallway some more. Then stab it yet again, which will send it going down even farther.

Now, go to the switch that controls swivel movement and stab it again. The statue should turn some more.

Now, go to the crank that controls lateral movement and turn it. Then stab theswitch, and the statue should go back a little.

Turn back to the switch that controls swivel movement again and stab it. The statue should be facing forward again.

Then go back to the crank that controls lateral movement and turn it. Then stab the switch, and the statue should move forward some.

Now, go back to the switch that controls swivel movement and stab it again. The statue will turn to the right again.

Head to the switch that controls lateral movement, and stab it. We're nearlythere.

Go to the crank now that controls swivel movement and pull it. Then stab the switch that controls swivel movement. The statue should be facing forward.

Finally, go back to the switch that controls lateral movement one more time and stab it to end this area.

AF. The King's Road

Time for another chariot sequence. However, this one is much more demanding.

Weave down the street and slash the first Sand Guard that jumps on the chariot. Another will jump on soon after, slash him as well. A third will jump

on after that...well, you know what to do (slash him). After the third Sand Guard a ramp will appear that will take you into a series of caves.

A chariot will appear on the right shortly after you enter the caves. Do not let it force you into the left wall and eventually ram it into the right wall or let it crash itself trying to kill you. A gap is up ahead, remember to avoid the divider between the paths directly after it.

There is a bridge directly after it you must cross, followed by yet another divider to avoid. Continue on and out of the caves, then continue over another ramp and toward another hazard of passages within building walls. Jump the first gap on the left (but not ALL the way to the left) and the second gap onthe right (but not ALL the way to the right).

Continue and a cutscene/scripted event will ensue, driving you to the left path and through a wooden door. Continue on undeterred, jumping the next gap on the left and the one after it on the right.

After a few halls barricades will be in your way. Pass the first one on the right, slash the Sand Guard that jumps on your chariot, and pass the next one on the right as well, followed by passing the third one on the left. Slash theSand Guard that jumps on directly after this, then pass the next barricade on the left, then the next on the right, and then the one after that on the left.

Continue on until you reach the last stretch, where two guards jump on yourchariot while you have to weave through stone in the middle, on the left, and then the right. Go on a bit more and the chariot sequence ends. Yay!

...now time for the real fight.

Boss: The Twins

Okay, this is a boss fight with two bosses. The one on the left with the sword I call Blade. The one on the right with the axe I call Axe. Hey, I'm not here to entertain you, I'm here to help you!

Each of them has more than their fair share of standard attack. Axe can swinghis weapon surprisingly quickly, has a decent jab and a boot counter. He's also invincible defensively. So, suffice to say, we're going to be focusing our attention more on Blade.

Blade has a few sword combos up his sleeve, along with some devastating lungeattacks. He has power attacks capable of breaking through your block with ease, and will counter any and all forms of unconventional attack.

So, how do you beat these expert duo of cheese techniques? The secret is to constantly attack Blade with your dagger's standard B combos. Doing so will prompt Axe to leap into the air with a chop. If you get hit it's all for nothing, but if you roll out of the way he will get his axe stuck in the ground with comical effect, and you are free to pummel him with dagger combos to your heart's content...

...with a catch. The real danger lies here, as Blade will be attacking ferociously to protect his partner. You have to attack Axe to win, but doing so leaves you with the risk of suffering serious damage. Stay as far away from

Blade as you can when you attack Axe. Rolling around Axe to keep him between you and Blade is effective, and vault over him if you're really in a pinch. When Axe recovers, start smacking Blade again to provoke him into doingthe same leaping chop. Dodge, rinse, and repeat.

When you take away about a third of health from Axe, you will get a prompt fora Speed Kill. Match with two visual cues to clear the first phase of the battle and take both enemies down to around half health.

Continue this same pattern. When Axe is nearly out of health, another prompt for a final Speed Kill will commence. Match the two visual cues to finish thetwo and end the boss battle.

---

Time for a long, kick-ass cutscene. Watch, enjoy, and get ready for the finalstretch of the game.

We start out in this next section as the Dark Prince. Goodie. Thrallsand Enchantresses galore will engage you, and you must tear through them all to proceed in the largest mandatory Free-Form Fighting section yet.

After defeating them all, head forward through the door and to the wall ahead. Smash the objects on the left and run up the wall on the left side to grab theledge. Then shimmy to the right and climb over at the end. Run forward to reach a pool of the Water of Time.

The Prince again. So soon? Head up the stairs, run up the wall, and climb overto reach the next area.

Afterward, move to the edge of theplatform on the left.

Use the Landscape Camera if you wish, then run along the wall on the right and jump midway to reach the bar in the middle of the room. Swing-jump up to the next bar, and swing-jump from there to stab into the plate ahead of that. Run

along the wall to the right from there to reach the next platform.

Turn right and climb over the railing at the end of the platform. Jump and stab into the plate opposite you. Use the Landscape Camera if you wish, then wait for the floor in the background to move into position before you run along the wall to the right. Afterward quickly run up the wooden wall to the right and jump from wall to wall until you make it to stab into the plate above. Run along the wall to the right from here and jump at the end to reach a bar. Climb the bar and jump up to the one above it, then swing-jump from that bar, and from the next bar to reach the next platform.

From here you can access a Life Upgrade, if you desire so.

LIFE UPGRADE NUMBER FIVE *OPTIONAL*

Turn right and hop over the railing facing the elevator. Jump left and stab into the plate, then hop up and stab into the next plate, then hop up and do the same to the third plate. Activate the Eye of the Storm, jump off the rightwall up to the pressure plate, and then drop down and stab into the middle plate. Jump to the right and run up through the newly opened door. Go to the end of the hallway and drink the water from the fountain to start the Life Upgrade hallway.

You begin with a miniature spinning blade in the way, followed by a panel trap, and that followed by slower miniature spinning blade. Pick a side, wait for the blade to move when panel about to go down, then run and jump to the next platform. Keep running and jump to the next platform past the mini-blade to clear the set of traps.

Above you is a gauntlet of retracting ledges. Wait for the first one to come out, then run up the wall and climb it. Continue to climb and jump from ledge to ledge until you reach the top platform.

The final set of traps is a hellish combination of dual miniature spinning blades in a criss-cross formation, two alternating panel traps to the sides, and other panel trap at the very end. Move to either the left or right, wait for the panel trap on your respective side to start to descend along with thepanel at the very end, then simply run through to the light to get the Life Upgrade.

After the cutscene, run along the wall to your left to the ledge on the otherside. Drop down twice to get into the gap, then slide down and turn around. Use the Landscape Camera if you wish, then wait until the screen becomes distorted. When it does, execute a Speed Kill on the Sand Gate Guard below. After that, quickly turn around and leap over the right railing to avoid being seen.

Keep a close eye on the Thrall. When he turns toward his railing, climbback up and quickly perform a Speed Kill on the other Sand Gate Guard. After that, perform a Speed Kill on the Thrall to wrap things up.

Touch the Sand Gate to gain your final sand power in the game: The Sand Storm.By using it (holding R and pressing + holding L) you can obliterate all enemies in an area. After this a cutscene will ensue

After the cutscene, head directly over the railing perpendicular to the Sand Gate. From there, jump and stab into the plate on the other wall, then hop up and stab into the next plate. Wait for the moving wall to push out, then run along the wall to the left and jump from wall to wall up to the first ledge.Wait for the wall to push out again, then jump from wall to wall up to the second ledge. Shimmy left around the corner and climb up, then jump up to the next ledge. Shimmy left all the way to the gap and drop down.

Use the Landscape Camera if you wish, then slide down and face up. Wait for the two Thralls to approach the center, then Speed Kill the upper one when the screen distorts on his way back. After he's finished, turn around and Speed Kill the other Sand Thrall.

From there, make a right and go to the edge of the platform. Run along the wall on the right to make it to a ledge on the other side. Climb up, move around the corner, and jump to the bar. Swing-jump to the ledge above, then shimmy right all the way to the edge. Finally, jump off the ledge to reach the next platform and the next area.

AI. The Structure's Mind

There is a fountain here, use it if you wish. From the fountain, go left and move out on the beam. Jump to the gap across the pit. To pass the spinning blades, get as close to them as possible, then hold down when you see the lastof the blade pass through the gap. There are two, so be careful. At the bottomof the gap, drop to the floor and turn around.

The next set of traps consist of a horizontal bladed column, a vertical bladed column, and an arrow trap. Wait for the arrows to fire and the first column to ascend simultaneously, then quickly run through and use your better judgementto avoid the last column. Next come a set of three spinning blades. Watch each one individually, and roll through right after they pass to beat each one.

Now comes the next big puzzle, though not nearly as aggravating as the last.

From the entrance to the room, head to the room's center and look to the leftrelative to the entrance. That direction is 'North'. Hence, the platform in front of you is the North platform, the one to the left is the West platform,and the one to the right is the East platform. Use the Landscape Camera if youwish, then follow the instructions.

Firstly, go to the North platform and pull the crank once. You will raise one floor. Run off the platform to reach the ground again.

Now go to the East platform, and pull the crank once. You will raise one floor. Run off the platform to reach the ground again. Now, pull the crank on the West platform. You will raise one floor. Now, run off the platform to reach the ground again.

Now, go where the East platform used to be. Stand on the raised part of the floor to the left of where the platform was, then run along the right wall toa pillar of ledges. Climb up to the third ledge, turn around, and then jumpback to a metal platform, and jump from that to the East platform. Pull the crank to reach the second level.

From there, run along the right wall to the pillar of ledges, shimmy left around the corner, and then drop down three ledges. Jump to the metal platformaway from you, then jump to the North platform after that. Pull the crank toreach the second level.

Turn left, and run along the right wall to reach the other pillar of ledges. Shimmy to the left, drop down three ledges, then jump away to the metalplatform. From there, just jump to the West platform. Pull the crank to reach the second level.

Now all three elevators are at the second level. That's it. Puzzle solved. watch the cutscene, then run to the pillar of ledges and use it to descend allthe way to the ground. From there, exit through the south archway to triggera cutscene.

Come back out, turn left, and jump to the beams from the platform. Drop from the higher beam to the lower to the next platform. Turn around and run along

the right wall, chain-swinging from one torch to the second as you go to the next platform. There, continue running along the right wall and chain-swing from the torch to get to the next platform. Jump down to the platform below and enter the door.

There isn't much in here but enemies, but you need those for sand. Kill themall, then go back out and go right.

Run along the right wall to the next platform, then go forward and drop downinto the gap ahead. Slide down and drop to the floor below, and take out theenemies as they come for some more precious sand. After killing them, turn around and head toward the edge of the platform. Run, jump, and chain-swing along twice to reach the next platform.

From there, turn left and run along the right wall, chain-swinging on two torches along the way to a beam at the end. Then, drop down to a beam below that beam, followed by a platform.

Drop to the ledge below, climb up, move left, and jump to the rail across from you. Shimmy right as far as you can, then wait for the mini-blade to just reach the left side before dropping down to the next ledge. Move to your right and climb up the platform.

Turn left to see the next trap set--a trio of spinning blades. Wait on the left for the first one to pass, then roll through to clear the entire set. Destroy the pottery and get the sands up ahead, then make a right at the next corner.

Jump forward and chain-swing to the next platform, then quickly turn right and jump on the ledge above before the platform crumbles. Shimmy right along the ledge to the end, then jump across to another ledge. Drop down through three more ledges, and move to the right to get on the next platform. Go forward from here to the next set of traps--a vertical spinning blade followed by twohorizontal spinning blades. Wait at the left or right for the first blade to pass and then roll quickly past that blade and to the middle so as to dodge the horizontal blades.

Smash the pottery ahead to get more sand. Use the Landscape Camera if you wish, then observe the next set of traps: two panel traps followed by a multitude of arrow hazards. Wait for the sound of the arrows and the panels to go down, then quickly rush across, run along the left wall, and jump off the shutter at the end to reach a ledge. Climb up it, move right, jump and climb

up to the next ledge, move right, jump to the ledge across from you, and move around the corner all the way to the right. Wait for the blade below to pass your half of the hazard, then quickly drop down and roll forward to avoid it. The next blade on the left has a ledge above it, wait for it to pass and then run up the wall to grab that ledge. Move right from there to the end, and then use the chain to pull out the stone behind you. Jump to the stone, then turn left and jump forward to the next ledge. Shimmy all the way to the right and drop to the platform, then quickly roll past the blades when they pass to complete this hellish section once and for all.

Your reward is one of the most memorable cutscenes in the whole trilogy. Enjoy.

You are...the Prince? Cool. And you are now armed with The King's Sword. Whatdoes it do? Try it on the enemies dumb enough to attack you here.

Cool, right? Here's the tradeoff. From here on, no more other secondary weapons. The sword is it. No more throwing weapons, obviously, or anythinglike that. The thing is, of course, that you don't NEED any of those things,because this baby is a ONE HIT KILL FOR ALL ENEMIES! From now on, combat willbe a breeze--so much so that I won't presume to babysit you through it.

That being said, take out the enemies here and smash the wall ahead (press andhold Y) to enter the next area.

Do this one more time to end Zervan's first phase.

The second phase is much more difficult. Large stones are floating around the arena that you must avoid, as well as Zervan's sand projectiles. To damageZervan, avoid these obstacles and run up the pillars behind him--he will oftenmove, though, so be on guard--and initiate a Speed Kill at the top. The firstone will cut his wing, the second will cut another wing, and the third willinitiate the final section of the battle. Each Speed Kill will require thematching of three visual cues, so keep that in mind.

Finally, Zervan will bring down the entire arena to create floating platforms,fly up high, and take pot shots at you with sand projectiles. Look to the lowest platform on the ground, and run up the pillar and jump to reach it. Jump forward from there to reach the next platform, then turn left and jump to reach a bar. Climb atop the bar (this is so if you get hit you won't fall to your death), turn around, shimmy right, and jump forward to the next platform.

Turn left and jump to the another platform, then jump to the bar and swing-jump to the next platform. Turn right and jump to the next platform, then jump forward and pull up to the platform ahead of that. After that jump to the next platform, turn right and jump to the bar, and swing jump to the next platform. Run up the wall and jump from wall to wall to climb up to the next platform, then jump forward one more time to reach the very last platform. Step out toward Zervan, and jump toward him. Press B when the dagger flares to finish this fight and Zervan once and for all.

Cutscene. It's finally over...huh?

AT. The Mental Realm

You come face to face with the Dark Prince. Slash him repeatedly to make the sun go down, and keep slashing to enter the Mental Realm proper.

Don't worry, you can't die here. If you fall, you'll just return to where you last were.

Turn right and jump to the platform ahead, then jump from that to the next platform. Run along the left wall to reach the Dark Prince, and slash him. Jump to the next platform, then jump to the one after that and wait for it to grow closer to the Dark Prince's platform. Slash him. Step out to the beam and jump to the next one, then drop to the beam below and walk to the next platform. Jump to the next platform and the scenery will change. Don't be fooled, keep going and jump the platform over the bridge to reach the Dark Prince. Slash him. Stand on the platform as it rotates and jump to the platform as it appears. Then walk along the beam to the next platform and jump to the Dark Prince. Slash him. Walk out to the beam on the right and jump to the next beam, and then jump out again. The scenery will change again temporarily. When you come to, jump to the platform ahead, then jump again, then jump one more time to reach the Dark Prince. Slash him. Turn right and jump to change the scenery again. Jump forward to reach a stairway, follow it up, then jump to the Dark Prince's platform. Slash him. Turn right, jump to the next platform, and then jump to the next platform. After you do that, jump back to the platform before you, and then jump to the platform you just jumped from. That will extend the platform, allowing you to jump to the Dark Prince. Do so, and slash him. Turn left, jump to the moving platform, and jump as it approaches the next platform to reach it. Run along the right wall to reach the Dark Prince, and slash him. Walk out to the next beam, wait until the rotating beam aligns with you, then jump to it. Walk to its end, wait until it aligns with the next beam, and then leap forward.

The scenery will change. Run forward. After the scenery changes one last time, run forward up the stairway to end the game.

And...that's it! Enjoy the final cutscene, and pat yourself on the back. You just beat Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones!

END OF WALKTHROUGH

V. FREE-FORM FIGHTING SYSTEM (FREE5)

This section of the guide is intended to help players master the Free-FormFighting system in this game. First introduced in Prince of Persia: WarriorWithin, it is a complex system that encourages creativity in battle.

For when you are forced to fight, or just don't want to bother with those dumbSpeed Kills, here's the section for you!

---

A. MOVE LIST (Prince)

DAGGER ATTACK TECHNIQUES

Right Hand

-Triple Slash (B, B, B)

Description: The Prince slashes three times with the dagger, landing moderate damage with each slash.

Analysis: This is the bread and butter of fighting. When all else fails, go with this. Each slash is not particularly strong on its own, but together thedamage adds up. The system wouldn't make sense without this.

However, many enemies are too fast for it, and others are adept at blocking it. Using Eye of the Storm evens the odds against more stubborn foes.

Recommended against: Everything

Rating: 7.5/10

-Furious Slash (B, B, B, B)

Description: The Prince slashes four times with the dagger, landing moderate damage with the first three slashes and landing major damage with the fourth.

Analysis: This is the standard combination with a twist. The final slash is very powerful, but it has a short range and faster enemies will easily dodgeit and counter. It's more effective against stationary creatures or when usingthe Eye of the Storm. Optimally use it when the enemy has its back against the wall so that the last slash is unavoidable.

Recommended against: Everything

Rating: 7/10

-Asha's Fury (B When Enemy is Prone)

Description: The Prince plunges his dagger into a prone opponent, inflictingmassive damage.

Analysis: A great finisher for one-on-one encounters, but in groups it can prove to be a liability as others can hurt you while you are using it. Still,powerful, and very useful against weaker enemies.

Recommended against: Reptus

Rating: 7/10

-Dagger Charge Attack (Press and Hold B)

Description: The Prince pulls back his dagger, gathers strength, and brings itdown for a massive blow.

Analysis: It's slow, it's not powerful enough, and you'll get hit using it more often than you'll hit. It can break blocks, but ultimately a novelty moveat best.

Recommended against: Reptus, if you must

Rating: 1.5/10

---

Left Hand

-Grab (Y)

Description: The Prince will flip over the enemy and grab them for a short time or will simply grab them if their backs are turned.

Analysis: Basically only useful for buying time or chaining into the much better grab moves. Still, a staple.

Recommended against: Everything but Enchantresses, Illusions, and Hunter Hounds

Rating: 6.5/10

-Grab Slice (Y, B)

Description: The Prince will grab the enemy and slice them across the middle.Alternatively, the Prince will flip over the enemy and immediately slice attheir neck.

Analysis: Going from a grab to a slice is nice, but the real gem comes frommerely tapping Y and then pressing B, which will make the Prince slice at the enemy's neck. Weaker enemies will be decapitated instantly. Either way, this is a great move. Use it. Abuse it.

Recommended against: Everything but Enchantresses, Illusions, and Hunter Hounds

Rating: 8.5/10

-Grab Throw (Y, Y)

Description: The Prince will toss the enemy in the direction the Control Stickis facing.

Analysis: THIS IS IT. The broken move. By using it, you can toss any enemy that you can grab to their death and out of your life. If there are no cliffs around it's still useful, as it will keep them down for a short while. And besides, a game like Prince of Persia has TONS of cliffs. = D

Recommended against: Everything but Enchantresses, Illusions, and Hunter Hounds

Rating: 10/10

-Steal Weapon Kill (Y, X)

Description: If the enemy is weak, the Prince will take their weapon and killthem with it.

Analysis: This does marginal damage against the strong, but when they are weakit just defines the word 'bloodbath'. Or sandbath, whatever. Great move.

Recommended against: Everything but Enchantresses, Illusions, and Hunter Hounds

Rating: 9/10

---

Acrobatic Attacks

-Aerial Slash (A, B [Toward Enemy])

Description: The Prince leaps over an enemy and slashes once.

Analysis: Not the most useful move on its own, but very effective if chained with Y after the slash for a sweeping kick. More importantly, chains into one of the best moves, the Aerial Landing Slice.

Recommended against: Everything

Rating: 7/10

-Aerial Landing Slice (A, B, B [Toward Enemy])

Description: The Prince leaps over and enemy, slashes once, then comes down again with a devastating chop.

Analysis: This is one of the greats. It goes uncontested by nearly every enemy save Reptus, and is even effective against a boss. Nice damage, and while slightly inaccurate at times, well worth keeping in your repetoire.

Recommended against: Everything

Rating: 9.75/10

-Aerial Kick Attack (A, Y [Toward Enemy])

Description: The Prince leaps over an enemy and kicks them once in the face.

Analysis: This is okay on its own, but better if chained into a B for a variant of the Aerial Landing Slice that has slightly less damage, but hits more often in my experience. It can also chain into the very useful Aerial Landing Kick Sweep. A great move overall.

Recommended against: Everything

Rating: 8/10

-Aerial Landing Kick Sweep

Description: The Prince leaps over an enemy, kicks them in the face, then performs another sweep kick as he lands to knock the enemy down.

Analysis: Another fantastic move. While this move isn't as strong as the Aerial Landing Slice, it is still a good finisher and has an added bonus--it knocks the enemy down, allowing you to either use Asha's Fury or simply buy some time. Either way, a gem.

Recommended against: Everything

Rating: 9.5/10

-Aerial Slice (A, X [Toward Enemy])

Description: The Prince leaps over an enemy and slices once.

Analysis: Not the greatest of moves. Can't be chained into a B or a Y, only useful for chaining into the much more useful Aerial Steal Weapon.

Recommended against: Everything, if you must use it

Rating: 3/10

-Aerial Steal Weapon (A, X, X [Toward Enemy])

Description: The Prince leaps over an enemy, slices once, then rams his dagger into the enemy. If the enemy is weak enough, the Prince takes their weapon away and instantly kills them.

Analysis: MUCH better than the Aerial Slice, and a terrific move overall. Unfortunately it has the pitfalls of not being able to work on enemies that cannot be grabbed, so be wary. Still, not much satisfies the thrill of the kill like this.

Recommended against: Everything but Enchantresses, Illusions, and Hunter Hounds

Rating: 8.75/10

-Aerial Weapon Throw (X [In Air])

Description: The Prince leaps into the air and throws his weapon at the enemy, impaling them with it.

Analysis: Can be done alone like a standard throw, but more appropriately the variant of the Aerial Steal Weapon for when you already have a weapon in hand. The best way to get rid of a weapon when it's almost broken, and a great finisher as well.

Recommended against: Reptus

Rating: 8.5/10

---

DEFENSIVE TECHNIQUES

Dagger Defense

-Block (R)

Description: The Prince raises his weapon(s) and uses them to block incoming attacks, preventing damage.

Analysis: It's the block. It'll save your ass. Use it, remember to keep holding it down. Not perfect, however--too many hits will cause the block to break, and there are unblockable moves (most are rather slow, however).

Recommended against: EVERYTHING

Rating: 9.5/10

-Counter Attack (R + B [When Enemy Strikes])

Description: The Prince blocks an incoming attack and counters with his own attack consisting of a kick followed by a dagger slash.

Analysis: Great manuever for those more comfortable on the defensive. The timing can be tricky at first, but ultimately an extremely effective move, especially when cornered, and a finisher to boot.

Recommended against: Sand Archers and Reptus

Rating: 8/10

-Counter Double Slice (R + Y [When Enemy Strikes])

Description: If holding a secondary weapon, The Prince blocks an incoming attack and counters with his own attack consisting of a dagger slice followed by a slice of his secondary weapon. If without a secondary weapon, The Prince blocks an incoming attack and counters with his own attack consisting of a kick followed by another kick.

Analysis: The best of both worlds. On the one hand, without a secondary weapon the move functions much like the Aerial Landing Kick Sweep, as it's not as strong as the Counter Attack, but can either finish enemies or knock them down depending on their health. But with a secondary weapon it becomes basically a better version of the Counter Attack, and is 'bad' then only because it wears down your secondary weapon. Nine times out of ten, this is the counter you want to use.

Recommended against: Sand Archers and Reptus

Rating: 9.25/10

---

MOVEMENT TECHNIQUES

Acrobatic

-Jump Slash (A, B)

Description: The Prince jumps in the air and slashes his dagger once.

Analysis: Not a great move. Or even a very good one. Basically a high dodge and a poor attack rolled into one. Too little enemies attack low, and the damage is far too poor. Use it if you want to dodge low attacks and impress your friends, not for winning battles.

Recommended against: If you must, Enchantresses

Rating: 1.25/10

-Jump Kick (A, Y)

Description: The Prince jumps in the air and kicks once.

Analysis: In my opinion, the worst move in the game. It can knock back on occasion, but other than that the same drawbacks of the Jump Slash rolled into an even weaker package. Avoid.

Recommended against: If you must, Sand Guards

Rating: 1/10

-Wall Jump to Acrobatics (A [Toward Wall])

Description: The Prince leaps backward off a wall to Acrobatic Attacks.

Analysis: An alternative way of using Acrobatic Attacks against enemies. On the one hand, it reduces the likelihood of being hit by an enemy in a full-frontal assault, but it tends to be less accurate. An all-around good move worth using.

Recommended against: Everything

Rating: 7/10

-Wall Dive Attack (B [Toward Wall])

Description: The Prince rebounds off a wall and dives in the opposite direction, hitting anything in his way with the dagger.

Analysis: The best most accurate standard wall finisher around. Good damage, not much blocks it, all-around goodness. Plus, it can go through multiple enemies.

Recommended against: Thralls, Enchantresses

Rating: 8/10

-Wall Spinkick (Y [Toward Wall])

Description: The Prince rebounds off a wall and springs in the opposite

direction, slashing with the dagger and spin kicking along with it. If he is carrying a secondary weapon, he will slash with that as well.

Analysis: Not the knockdown move like you'd expect, but a more powerful but less accurate version of the Wall Dive Attack, amplified when carrying another weapon. Still, the first version's powerful enough, and if you miss you end up paying.

Recommended against: Thralls, Enchantresses

Rating: 7.5/10

-Wallrun Slash (B [While Running Along Wall])

Description: The Prince slashes his dagger while running along a wall.

Analysis: A decent move while avoiding combat, but not nearly as useful as in Warrior Within due to a lack of enemies along walls. A novelty.

Recommended against: Illusions

Rating: 2.5/10

-Angel Drop (B [While Running Up Wall])

Description: The Prince runs up a wall, backflips off and lands while cutting upward with his weapons.

Analysis: Terrific finisher. Great on its own, and even better when chained into its own finisher.

Recommended against: Everything

Rating: 8.75/10

-Angel Drop Finish (B, B [While Running Up Wall])

Description: The Prince runs up a wall, backflips off and lands while cutting upward with his weapons, then slashes down again with his weapons.

Analysis: The perfect finisher for single enemies, to the point of being nearly broken. Each slash is tremendously powerful, can finish enemies even at mid health, and nearly impossible to block.

Recommended against: Everything

Rating: 9.25/10

-Bladewhirl Attack (Y [While Running Up Wall])

Description: The Prince runs up a wall, backflips off and spins on his way down, cutting and slashing with his weapons in a spiral motion as he hits the floor.

Analysis: If the Angel Drop Finish is perfect for single enemies, the Bladewhirl Attack is the pinnacle of mob finishing combat. It is ridiculously powerful, and for all intents and purposes IS broken, except it could stand to

be a bit more accurate. Still, abuse as needed.

Recommended against: EVERYTHING

Rating: 9.75/10

-Column Shredder (B [While Facing Column])

Description: The Prince spins around a column and carves his dagger around it, hitting any enemies in his path.

Analysis: Great mid-level attack, though not as great a finisher as other moves. Use it, don't abuse it.

Recommended against: Thralls

Rating: 6.25/10

-Column Spinkick (Y [While Facing Column])

Description: The Prince spins and kicks around a column and finishes with diving out with his dagger to slash.

Analysis: The Column Shredder does better consistent damage, but the potential damage of the Column Spinkick is better, plus it has knockdown ability.

Recommended against: Reptus

Rating: 6.75/10

-Charge Weapon Throw (X [Hold With Secondary Weapon])

Description: The Prince pulls back his secondary weapon and winds up his strength. When the button is released or after a long enough time the Prince throws the weapon, with greater damage depending on the length of time the button is held.

Analysis: The most powerful way to get rid of a weapon, but during hectic battles the propensity to miss and/or get hit is drastically higher. Reserve for finishing protracted battles.

Recommended against: Anything, really

Rating: 6.5/10

-Stand Up Attack (B [When Prone])

Description: The Prince, when lying on the ground, springs up and slashes with the dagger.

Analysis: If you have to get up, you have one of two choices. This is the worst of the two in terms of effects, but has a greater range.

Recommended against: Everything

Rating: 6.75/10

-Stand Up Spinwheel (Y [When Prone])

Description: The Prince, when lying on the ground, spins his legs to get up and slashes with his weapons.

Analysis: Recommended. Let enemies get close after you're down, and let this fly. Stylish, too.

Recommended against: Everything

Rating: 7.25/10

---

DOUBLE WEAPON COMBOS

Right Hand

-Triple Slash (B, B, B)

Description: The Prince slashes three times with the dagger, landing moderate damage with each slash.

Analysis: Identical to the original Triple Slash, only done with a secondary weapon in the other hand. Same strengths and weaknesses.

Recommended against: Everything

Rating: 7.5/10

-Furious Slash (B, B, B, B)

Description: The Prince slashes four times with the dagger, landing moderate damage with the first three slashes and landing major damage with the fourth.

Analysis: Identical to the original Furious Slash, only done with a secondary weapon in the other hand. Same strengths and weaknesses.

Recommended against: Everything

Rating: 7/10

-Rage of Darius (B, B, Y, Y, Y)

Description: The Prince slashes twice with the dagger, spins around with both weapons, then slashes twice with his secondary weapon.

Analysis: A great opening in cutting swaths through groups of enemies, or in narrow hallways. Basically a forward moving combination, which can work either for or against you depending on the situation.

Recommended against: Thralls

Rating: 7.75/10

-Azad's Furious Retaliation (B, B, Y, Y, B, B)

Description: The Prince slashes twice with the dagger, spins around with both weapons, slashes once with his secondary weapon, again with the dagger, then performs a leaping spinkick before ending with an upward dagger slice

Analysis: The king of forward moving combinations, and ends with a great finisher as well. The drawbacks can be even more severe, however, so be cautious in using it. Still, when appropriate, abuse.

Recommended against: Thralls

Rating: 8/10

-Mithra's Vengeance (B, B, B, Y, Y)

Description: The Prince slashes three times with the dagger, then spins upside down on one hand while twirling his secondary weapon, and finishes with a secondary weapon slash.

Analysis: A flashy, but surprisingly more defensive combination. Use it to drive enemies back when your health is low and decimation is key.

Recommended against: Sand Guards, Chameleons

Rating: 7.5/10

---

Left Hand

-Misery Gale (Y, Y, Y)

Description: The Prince slashes three times with his secondary weapon.

Analysis: The basic combination, only for secondary weapons. More effective than the dagger, but has a tendency to wear the weapons down quickly--so be cautious.

Recommended against: Everything

Rating: 7/10

-Furious Oblivion Twister (Y, B, B, B)

Description: The Prince slashes once with his secondary weapon, then swings around 360 degrees slashing both weapons, ending with two powerful upward dagger slices.

Analysis: FANTASTIC for mob clearing *and* finishing, this combination can seemingly do it all. Not many drawbacks, although it doesn't rack up the damage one might like on isolate enemies. Use as a pack clearer.

Recommended against: Enchantresses, Reptus, Chameleons

Rating: 8.5/10

-Harassing Cyclone (Y, B, B, Y, Y)

Description: The Prince slashes twice with the dagger, spins around with both weapons, slices upward once with the dagger, then spins upside down on one hand while twirling his secondary weapon, and finishes with a secondary weapon slash.

Analysis: The other mob decimating combination, losing a more effective finisher, but gaining much more damage and defensive capabilities, making it overall the better of the two combinations. Sick.

Recommended against: Enchantresses, Reptus, Chameleons

Rating: 9/10

-Furious Tempest of Agony (Y, Y, B, B, B)

Description: The Prince slashes twice with his secondary weapon, hops up and slashes with both weapons in a twirl, and finishes with two powerful upward dagger slices.

Analysis: One of the combinations of choice against single enemies, this combination can easily rack up the damage, and has a great finisher.

Recommended against: Sand Guards, Sand Archers, Thralls

Rating: 8/10

-Tormenting Typhoon (Y, Y, B, B, Y, Y)

Description: The Prince slashes twice with his secondary weapon, hops up and slashes with both weapons in a twirl, slices upward with the dagger, then spins upside down on one hand while twirling his secondary weapon and finishes with a secondary weapon slash.

Analysis: The other combination of choice against single enemies, this one being the more defensive one. It's really a tossup between the two due to the differing nature of single enemy fighting.

Recommended against: Sand Guards, Sand Archers, Thralls

Rating: 8/10

-Left Weapon Charge Attack (Y [Hold With Secondary Weapon])

Description: The Prince pulls back his secondary weapon, gathers strength, and brings it down for a massive blow.

Analysis: Just like the Dagger Charge Attack, it's slow, doesn't do enough damage, and leaves you wide open to attack. A bit better in strength, but hurts the durability of the weapon as a result. And ultimately, just not worth it, although you can use it to break walls in the latter stages of the game, so it is necessary to know.

Recommended against: Reptus, if you must

Rating: 2.5/10

---

SANDS OF TIME POWERS

Abilities

-Recall (L [Hold])

Description: The Prince rewinds time for as long as the button is pressed or the Sand gauge lasts.

Analysis: The trademark move of the Sands of Time trilogy, and ultimately the best move in the game. Rewind your mistakes, cheat death, all that jazz, once for each Sand Tank you possess. The ultimate move.

Recommended against: ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING

Rating: 10/10

-Eye of the Storm (L [Tap])

Description: The Prince slows down time for everything but himself for as long as the Sand gauge lasts.

Analysis: A fantastic move, which can be used to either pass obstacles more easily or slow enemies' attacks and reaction times, making combat a breeze, for the cost of a single Sand Tank per use. Just a hair under the recall in terms of effectiveness.

Recommended against: Everything

Rating: 9.75/10

-Winds of Sand (L while holding R)

Description: The Prince charges Sand and unleashes it, knocking down all enemies in the vicinity and inflicting damage.

Analysis: Good to use in a pinch, though the cost of two Sand Tanks per usage and the overall effectiveness leave much to be desired--and if you're in that much trouble, the Recall is likely a better move. Decent, but hardly essential, and you lose it after gaining the Sand Storm.

Recommended against: Hunter Hounds

Rating: 4.5/10

-Sand Storm (L while holding R)

Description: The Prince charges Sand and unleashes it, killing all enemies in the vicinity.

Analysis: Brutally powerful and effective, but the cost of four Sand Tanks per usage is hard to swallow. And by the time you get it, it becomes largely obsolete. Use if you MUST have all the enemies dead RIGHT NOW, but otherwise more a novelty.

Recommended against: Everything

Rating: 5.75/10

---

B. MOVE LIST (Dark Prince)

DAGGER ATTACK TECHNIQUES

Daggertail Attacks

-Grab and Pull (Y [Hold])

Description: The Dark Prince throws his daggertail forward, piercing an enemy and bringing it to him.

Analysis: A decent setup for enemies that try to scurry away or for finishing a last foe, but the Dark Prince loses health too quickly for this to be a staple move.

Recommended against: Thrall, Enchantresses

Rating: 5/10

-Grab and Pull Slash (Y [Hold], B)

Description: The Dark Prince throws his daggertail forward, pierces an enemy and brings it to him, then slashes with the dagger.

Analysis: Great finisher for single enemies, but again, as the Dark Prince the luxury for using this move is not often there.

Recommended against: Thralls, Enchantresses

Rating: 6.25/10

-Chain Grab and Pull Slash (Y [Hold], Y)

Description: The Dark Prince throws his daggertail forward, pierces an enemy and brings it to him, then thrusts forward with the daggertail.

Analysis: A good finisher, and knocks back, but suffers from the same problems as the Grab and Pull Slash. Not quite a novelty, but hardly the best move.

Recommended against: Thralls, Enchantresses

Rating: 6/10

-Hurricane (X [Tap Slowly])

Description: The Dark Prince spins the daggertail in a circle, forcing back all enemies.

Analysis: A terrific defensive move, but this hardly comes into play as the Dark Prince, who is all about offense. Use sparingly or not at all.

Recommended against: Sand Guards

Rating: 4/10

-Hurricane of Agony (X [Tap Quickly])

Description: The Dark Prince spins the daggertail more quickly in a circle, forcing back all enemies.

Analysis: An even better defensive move, which sacrifices a tiny amount of range for more frequent spins. But...why do it?

Recommended against: Sand Guards

Rating: 4.5/10

-Hurricane of Torment (X [Tap], Y)

Description: The Dark Prince spins the daggertail in a circle, then lashes out with a powerful attack.

Analysis: This is actually a decent finisher out of the Hurricane. Use it if you like against single enemies, if variety's your thing.

Recommended against: Illusions

Rating: 6/10

-Hurricane of Anger (X [Tap], B)

Description: The Dark Prince spins the daggertail in a circle, then leaps and lashes out with a powerful attack.

Analysis: Another decent finisher out of the Hurricane, slightly less accurate but with slightly more range. Use if you like against single enemies.

Recommended against: Illusions

Rating: 6/10

-Asha's Torment (Y When Enemy is Prone)

Description: The Prince plunges his dagger into a prone opponent, inflictingmassive damage.

Analysis: A great finisher for one-on-one encounters, but in groups it can prove to be a liability as others can hurt you while you are using it. Still,powerful, and very useful against weaker enemies. Basically Asha's Fury on a different button.

Recommended against: Reptus

Rating: 7/10

Dagger Attacks

-Triple Slash (B, B, B)

Description: The Dark Prince slashes three times with the dagger, landing moderate damage with each slash.

Analysis: This is the bread and butter of fighting. When all else fails, go with this. Each slash is not particularly strong on its own, but together thedamage adds up. The system wouldn't make sense without this. However, many enemies are too fast for it, and others are adept at blocking it. Using Eye of the Storm evens the odds against more stubborn foes. And it is often not fast enough for the Dark Prince. Stick to daggertail combinations.

Recommended against: Everything

Rating: 5/10

-Furious Slash (B, B, B, B)

Description: The Dark Prince slashes four times with the dagger, landing moderate damage with the first three slashes and landing major damage with the fourth.

Analysis: This is the standard combination with a twist. The final slash is very powerful, but it has a short range and faster enemies will easily dodgeit and counter. It's more effective against stationary creatures or when usingthe Eye of the Storm. Optimally use it when the enemy has its back against a wall so that the last slash is unavoidable. Again, however, being the Dark Prince makes this move undesirable in light of the other moves he has. The last slash is good for finishing, but use sparingly.

Recommended against: Everything

Rating: 5/10

-Dagger Charge Attack (Press and Hold B)

Description: The Dark Prince pulls back his dagger, gathers strength, and brings it down for a massive blow.

Analysis: It's slow, it's not powerful enough, and you'll get hit using it more often than you'll hit. It can break blocks, but ultimately a novelty moveat best.

Recommended against: Reptus, if you must

Rating: 1.5/10

Acrobatic Attacks

-Aerial Slash (A, B [Toward Enemy])

Description: The Dark Prince leaps over an enemy and slashes once.

Analysis: Not the most useful move on its own, but very effective if chained

with Y after the slash for a sweeping kick. More importantly, chains into one of the best moves, the Aerial Landing Slice.

Recommended against: Everything

Rating: 7/10

-Aerial Landing Slice (A, B, B [Toward Enemy])

Description: The Dark Prince leaps over and enemy, slashes once, then comes down again with a devastating chop.

Analysis: This is one of the greats. It goes uncontested by nearly every enemy save Reptus, and is even effective against a boss. Nice damage, and while slightly inaccurate at times, well worth keeping in your repetoire.

Recommended against: Everything

Rating: 9.75/10

-Aerial Kick Attack (A, Y [Toward Enemy])

Description: The Dark Prince leaps over an enemy and kicks them once in the face.

Analysis: This is okay on its own, but better if chained into a B for a variant of the Aerial Landing Slice that has slightly less damage, but hits more often in my experience. It can also chain into the very useful Aerial Landing Kick Sweep. A great move overall.

Recommended against: Everything

Rating: 8/10

-Aerial Landing Kick Sweep

Description: The Dark Prince leaps over an enemy, kicks them in the face, then performs another sweep kick as he lands to knock the enemy down.

Analysis: Another fantastic move. While this move isn't as strong as the Aerial Landing Slice, it is still a good finisher and has an added bonus--it knocks the enemy down, allowing you to either use Asha's Fury or simply buy some time. Either way, a gem.

Recommended against: Everything

Rating: 9.5/10

DEFENSIVE TECHNIQUES

Dagger Defense

-Block (R)

Description: The Dark Prince raises his daggertail and uses it to block

incoming attacks, preventing damage.

Analysis: It's the block. It'll save your ass. Use it, remember to keep holding it down. Not perfect, however--too many hits will cause the block to break, and there are unblockable moves (most are rather slow, however).

Recommended against: EVERYTHING

Rating: 9.5/10

-Counter Attack (R + B [When Enemy Strikes])

Description: The Dark Prince blocks an incoming attack and counters with his own attack consisting of a kick followed by a dagger slash.

Analysis: Great manuever for those more comfortable on the defensive. The timing can be tricky at first, but ultimately an extremely effective move, especially when cornered, and a finisher to boot.

Recommended against: Sand Archers and Reptus

Rating: 8/10

Daggertail Defense

-Daggertail Counter Attack (R + Y [When Enemy Strikes])

Description: The Dark Prince blocks an incoming attack and counter with his own attack consisting of a kick followed by a daggertail slash.

Analysis: Basically another version of the Counter Attack, less likely to land but more powerful.

Recommended against: Sand Archers and Reptus

Rating: 8/10

MOVEMENT TECHNIQUES

Acrobatic

-Jump Kick (A, Y)

Description: The Dark Prince jumps in the air and kicks.

Analysis: Likely the Dark Prince's worst move, can finish and knock down the weakest of enemies, but not much else. Avoid.

Recommended against: If you must, Chameleons

Rating: 2/10

-Wall Whiplash (Y [Toward Wall])

Description: The Dark Prince rebounds off a wall and dives, slashing everything in his path.

Analysis: Good rebound finisher--not the best, but worth the time if you're unable to run up a wall. Recommended.

Recommended against: Sand Guards

Rating: 7.75/10

-Wallrun Slash (B [While Running Along Wall])

Description: The Dark Prince slashes his dagger while running along a wall.

Analysis: A decent move while avoiding combat, but not nearly as useful as in Warrior Within due to a lack of enemies along walls. A novelty.

Recommended against: Illusions

Rating: 2.5/10

-Tailspin Angel Drop (Y [While Running Up Wall])

Description: The Dark Prince runs up a wall, backflips off and lands while cutting circularly with his daggertail.

Analysis: Terrific finisher. Great on its own, and even better when chained into its own finisher.

Recommended against: Everything

Rating: 8.75/10

-Tailspin Angel Kill (Y, Y [While Running Up Wall])

Description: The Dark Prince runs up a wall, backflips off and lands while cutting circularly with his daggertail twice.

Analysis: The perfect finisher for single enemies, to the point of being nearly broken. Each slash is tremendously powerful, can finish enemies even at mid health, and nearly impossible to block.

Recommended against: Everything

Rating: 9.25/10

-Column Daggertail Spin (Y [Toward Column])

Description: The Dark Prince lashes his daggertail at a column, and runs around it, dragging the chain and hitting any enemies between him and the column for as long as the button is pressed or until a set time has expired.

Analysis: Pure decimation for mobs, though it is difficult to set up for it at first. Still, the rewards are well worth the wait. Plus, it just looks cool.

Recommended against: Everything

Rating: 8.25/10

-Stand Up Bird Sweep (B [When Prone])

Description: The Dark Prince, when lying on the ground, springs up and slashes with the dagger.

Analysis: If you have to get up, you have one of two choices. This is the worst of the two in terms of effects, but has a greater range.

Recommended against: Everything

Rating: 6.75/10

-Stand Up Hurricane Sweep (Y [When Prone])

Description: The Dark Prince, when lying on the ground, swings the daggertail around and then springs up.

Analysis: Not *quite* the range of the Stand Up Bird Sweep, but likely the better of the two. The Dark Prince stays down as he attacks, reducing the liklihood of taking damage again, and does it in a circular motion, thus increasing the probability of landing the hit. Also knocks down enemies. Highly recommended.

Recommended against: Everything

Rating: 7.5/10

DAGGERTAIL COMBOS

Daggertail Combos

-Breeze of Anguish (Y, Y, Y)

Description: The Dark Prince swings the daggertail thrice for three devastating high attacks.

Analysis: The beginning of the highly effective daggertail combos, short and sweet. Not with the best finisher, but brief and does great damage. Use it on single enemies or tiny packs.

Recommended against: Sand Archers

Rating: 7/10

-Winds of Torment (Y, B, B)

Description: The Dark Prince swings the daggertail twice for two high attacks, swings it again in a low attack, and finishes by flipping forward and leaping with a final vertical chop.

Analysis: Probably the best short combination against a single enemy. The finisher is absolutely brutal.

Recommended against: Thralls

Rating: 8.25/10

-Blast of Sorrow (B, Y, Y, Y)

Description: The Dark Prince slashes with the dagger, swings the daggertail twice in two high attacks, swings it behind him in a low attack, then spins around for a finishing attack.

Analysis: A well-rounded combination that works well on single enemies or packs. Good finisher, good damage, good range, and effective defensively as well. A total package.

Recommended against: Everything

Rating: 8/10

-Whirlwind of Pain (B, Y, Y, B, B)

Description: The Dark Prince slashes with the dagger, swings the daggertail twice in two high attacks, then cuts upward with the daggertail followed by a finishing leaping chop with the daggertail.

Analysis: Brutal. Tears single enemies to pieces, and works wonders in narrow spaces. Not as effective in open territory.

Recommended against: Sand Archers, Thralls, Reptus

Rating: 8.5/10

-Storm of Anger (Y, Y, B, B, B)

Description: The Dark Prince swings the daggertail twice in three high attacks, then twirls it again for a fourth attack, and leaps forward for a fifth finishing attack.

Analysis: Pure daggertail damage, and well-balanced to boot. Kind of hard to hit with the finisher, though.

Recommended against: Sand Guards

Rating: 7.75/10

-Storm of Remorse (B, B, Y, Y, Y)

Description: The Dark Prince slashes twice with the dagger, then swings the daggertail forward in three low attacks.

Analysis: Not the best in damage, but makes up for it in knockdowns. Use in a pinch.

Recommended against: Reptus, Chameleons

Rating: 8/10

-Twister of Pentinence (B, B, Y, Y, B, B)

Description: The Dark Prince slashes twice with the dagger, then swings the daggertail forward in two low attacks, followed by a leaping daggertail finisher.

Analysis: Like the Storm of Remorse, but trades a knockdown for a finisher. Recommended of the two.

Recommended against: Reptus, Chameleons

Rating: 8.25/10

-Plague Tornado (Y, Y, Y, B, B)

Description: The Dark Prince swings the daggertail for three high attacks, then slices upward with the daggertail, followed by a downward slice with the daggertail.

Analysis: The combination of finishers. Use it to clear weaker enemies quickly.

Recommended against: Sand Guards, Chameleons

Rating: 8.5/10

-Oblivion Tornado (Y, Y, B, B, Y, Y)

Description: The Dark Prince swings the daggertail for six devastating attacks, finishing with a kick.

Analysis: For pure damage, this is the best combination out of them all. Absolutely brutal through every slash, good for single enemies and packs, and the only drawback being a finisher that could stand to be a bit more powerful. Still, a worthy combination for any situation.

Recommended against: Everything

Rating: 9/10

-Typhoon of Torment (Y, B, Y, B, Y, B)

Description: The Dark Prince swings the daggertail for five devastating attacks, followed by a sixth brutal finisher.

Analysis: Nearly as good as Oblivion Tornado in damage, and makes up for it with a whopper of a finisher. The best combination the Dark Prince has.

Recommended against: EVERYTHING

Rating: 9.5/10

SANDS OF TIME POWERS

Abilities

-Recall (L [Hold])

Description: The Dark Prince rewinds time for as long as the button is pressed or the Sand gauge lasts.

Analysis: The trademark move of the Sands of Time trilogy, and ultimately the best move in the game. Rewind your mistakes, cheat death, all that jazz, once for each Sand Tank you possess. The ultimate move.

Recommended against: ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING

Rating: 10/10

-Eye of the Storm (L [Tap])

Description: The Dark Prince slows down time for everything but himself for as long as the Sand gauge lasts.

Analysis: A fantastic move, which can be used to either pass obstacles more easily or slow enemies' attacks and reaction times, making combat a breeze, for the cost of a single Sand Tank per use. Just a hair under the recall in terms of effectiveness.

Recommended against: Everything

Rating: 9.75/10

-Winds of Sand (L while holding R)

Description: The Dark Prince charges Sand and unleashes it, knocking down all enemies in the vicinity and inflicting damage.

Analysis: Good to use in a pinch, though the cost of two Sand Tanks per usage and the overall effectiveness leave much to be desired--and if you're in that much trouble, the Recall is likely a better move. Decent, but hardly essential, and you lose it after gaining the Sand Storm.

Recommended against: Hunter Hounds

Rating: 4.5/10

-Sand Storm (L while holding R)

Description: The Dark Prince charges Sand and unleashes it, killing all enemies in the vicinity.

Analysis: Brutally powerful and effective, but the cost of four Sand Tanks per usage is hard to swallow. However, the Dark Prince benefits a lot from this move if you're low on health and need it very quickly. Unfortunately, by the time you get it, there's just not many opportunities to use it.

Recommended against: Everything

Rating: 7.5/10

C. Weapons

This section gives a brief overview of the numerous secondary weapons, and gives advice on when and how to appropriately utilize them.

-Swords

The most balanced of the weapons, swords are average in almost every regard, and can be used in almost any situation. When all else fails, go with these.

*Sand Gate Guard Sword (Special Sword)

The Sand Gate Guard Sword is nothing great in attack and not durable at all, but the sword is invaluable due to the fact that while you possess it, it will continually regenerate your Sand Tanks. Perhaps the most useful secondary weapon in the game.

*King's Sword (Special Sword)

Once you get this sword, you won't be able to pick up any others--but that's fine. Infinite durability, and an instant kill to all conventional enemies make this the most powerful sword in the game, and makes combat merely an afterthought after acquiring it.

-Axes

Stronger but slower weapons, these are to be used against the more durable enemies.

-Maces

Very powerful weapons that also get a knockdown, but painfully slow (for the Prince, anyway) and not the best weapons for combinations. Good for clearing out large groups or defensive strategies, however.

-Daggers

Very weak and not durable at all, these weapons have their strength in being thrown. These are the most powerful weapons in throwing, and can easily take down the mightiest of enemies before they even get to you.

VI. ENEMIES (ENEM6)

A. Guard

-The Guard is the first enemy you will face in the game, and is the standard template for the most common enemies in the game. Tall and brutish in gray armor, they utilize standard battle tactics with a single melee weapon.

-Guards can be Speed Killed.

-To deal with the Guard as the Prince, the easiest thing to do is simply what seems appropriate. They are susceptible to most any attack, so use what you have at your disposal to take them down. If there is a wall nearby, use rebound attacks to take them down. If they are in the middle of an open space, use vaults to your advantage. If they are against a corner, exploit multiple-

hitting combinations. If they're alone, use grab attacks. And if they're near a cliff, toss them off. They are dangerous, however, despite their lack of defensive strengths--be on your guard and ready to block at any given moment, and use rolls to stay out of their range when on the defensive.

-To deal with the Guard as the Dark Prince, use combinations as appropriate. For large groups of enemies, either use combinations to decimate mobs or short combinations to take each individual enemy as quickly as possible. Keeping the pressure on usually makes short work of them.

---

B. Archer

-The Archer is the second enemy you will face in the game, and is the template for the second most common enemies there are. They are slender, wear ornate headdresses, and use a bow and arrow to engage opponents.

-Archers can be Speed Killed.

-Archers can be nasty at first as the Prince, especially if you don't know what you're doing. When facing packs of enemies, it's always recommended to get the Archer out of the way first, as they'll take very dangerous potshots at you while you fight other types of enemies. The block is very effective against Archers, and is the recommended method to deflect arrows and get in close to engage in close-range combat. At closer range Archers will attack instead with their bow as a blunt instrument, but it's slow and easy to avoid/block. They are very tough defensively against conventional attacks, but most advanced combinations, rebound, or vault attacks will dispatch of them pretty easily.

-As the Dark Prince Archers are also particularly aggravating, as all his power is still susceptible to the arrow attacks they can launch. Get in close and lay down your best single-enemy combinations to take out an Archer as soon as you can, then deal with any other enemies at your leisure.

---

C. Sand Guard

-The Sand Guard is the corrupted version of the Guard, and is basically identical to this enemy in every way. It is the most common enemy you will likely encounter over the course of the game, and appears just like a Guard, only colored golden to show the corruption of the Sands of Time.

-Sand Guards can be Speed Killed.

-To deal with the Sand Guard as the Prince, the easiest thing to do is simply what seems appropriate. They are susceptible to most any attack, so use what you have at your disposal to take them down. If there is a wall nearby, use rebound attacks to take them down. If they are in the middle of an open space, use vaults to your advantage. If they are against a corner, exploit multiple-hitting combinations. If they're alone, use grab attacks. And if they're near a cliff, toss them off. They are dangerous, however, despite their lack of defensive strengths--be on your guard and ready to block at any given moment, and use rolls to stay out of their range when on the defensive.

-To deal with the Guard as the Dark Prince, use combinations as appropriate. For large groups of enemies, either use combinations to decimate mobs or short combinations to take each individual enemy as quickly as possible. Keeping the pressure on usually makes short work of them.

D. Sand Archer

-The Sand Archer is the corrupted version of the Archer, and is basically identical to this enemy in every way. It appears just like an Archer, only colored golden to show the corruption of the Sands of Time.

-Sand Archers can be Speed Killed.

-Sand Archers can be nasty at first as the Prince, especially if you don't know what you're doing. When facing packs of enemies, it's always recommended to get the Sand Archer out of the way first, as they'll take very dangerous potshots at you while you fight other types of enemies. The block is very effective against Archers, and is the recommended method to deflect arrows and get in close to engage in close-range combat. At closer range Sand Archers will attack instead with their bow as a blunt instrument, but it's slow and easy to avoid/block. They are very tough defensively against conventional attacks, but most advanced combinations, rebound, or vault attacks will dispatch of them pretty easily.

-As the Dark Prince Sand Archers are also particularly aggravating, as all his power is still susceptible to the arrow attacks they can launch. Get in close and lay down your best single-enemy combinations to take out an Archer as soon as you can, then deal with any other enemies at your leisure.

---

E. Reptus

-The Reptus is an enemy found in the darker places of the game, usually as the Dark Prince. It has green skin, is small, and usually uses an axe or other blunt instrument as a weapon.

-Reptus cannot be Speed Killed.

-As the Prince, the Reptus can either be the hardest enemy in the game or the easiest enemy. If you lead Reptus into the light, they are utterly decimated--the Aerial Landing Slice, Grab Slice, and Asha's Fury will kill them all instantly, just to name a few moves. But when you are forced to engage them i the dark, they are nearly invincible defensively--their stamina goes through the roof, and they block nearly all incoming attacks. In this form, rebound attacks are usually the way to go, as well as grab attacks. Slowing down time is also a good way to get any other attacks in. Give Reptus your full focus as the Prince if you have to engage them without light.

-Reptus are still dangerous to the Dark Prince, but far easier to dispatch. The best daggertail combinations will make short work of them, so abuse them to your heart's content. Other methods will work as well, but you often do not have the luxury...mostly because you're the Dark Prince at the time.

---

F. Chameleon

-The Chameleon is a grayish enemy similar in size to the Reptus, and usually attacks with daggers. However, it is initially cloaked in stealth camouflage, making only its outline visible in the environment.

-Chameleons cannot be Speed Killed.

-As the Prince, Chameleons are easy--once you locate them. Once you do, you'll find that their low health, lack of defense, and pitiful movement capabilities make it a snap to destroy them with any moderately damaging attack. However, their first strike capability makes them a decent threat. They signal their approach with a loud and high-pitched noise, so if you hear that, make sure to either go into a block and wait for them to strike, or attack their outlines before they attack you.

-As the Dark Prince, Chameleons are about the same as the Prince--there is actually little advantage to being the Dark Prince, mostly because Chameleons are so weak. Just use the same advice as the Prince--counter them accordingly, use whatever decent attacks you like to mop them up as they come.

---

G. Hunter Hound

-The Hunter Hound is a gray four-legged beast with a very distinctive howl. It attacks with either melee swipes, charges, or by siphoning sand from your Sand Tanks.

-Hunter Hounds cannot be Speed Killed.

-As the Prince, Hunter Hounds can be tricky to deal with. The easiest way to deal with Hunter Hounds are to play them defensively. Block constantly until you see the Hound try to steal your sand (a big sand cloud appears when they do this), then quickly stab them with your dagger to get an instant kill. Doing this, they become a snap. However, if you don't have any sand, they won't do this. If this is the case, then you will need to resort to standard attacks. The easiest way to kill them normally is to knock them down with preferably a secondary weapon, but the dagger will do. Using Wall Rebound attacks are extremely effective in knocking them over. Then, simply use Asha's Fury to end them.

-As the Dark Prince, the same rule applies. Try to stab them while they steal your sand, but if you can't, use low hitting daggertail combinations to sweep them off their feet and then use Asha's Fury.

-Man, I hate Hunter Hounds.

---

H. Illusion

-The Illusion is a pale and wraith-like enemy that attacks by throwing multiple projectiles and darting about the screen.

-Illusions cannot be Speed Killed.

-As the Prince, Illusions merely need to be caught and subdued. The easiest way to do this is to slow down time and then attack them either with standard combinations or vault attacks to bring them down swiftly. If you're caught without sand, just try to catch up with them and hammer with vault attacks.

-As the Dark Prince, the same rule applies, only you can still use your daggertail combinations on the Illusion even without sand--just use the range of the weapon to your advantage.

---

I. Enchantress

-The Enchantress is a small and nimble enemy that uses dual blades in combat. It is a female, wears a tiny dress, as well as a mask.

-Enchantresses cannot be Speed Killed.

-As the Prince, the best way to take out Enchantresses is to wait until they have stopped moving, then close in and use combinations or vaulting to bring them down. When available, use your best wall rebound attacks, as those are effective at any time. They're physically weak, so concentrate on getting past the defenses and getting a good blow in.

-As the Dark Prince, as usual, it boils down to using your best combinations, but it's also important to note that using the daggertail to pull them in and slash is extremely effective individually as well.

---

J. Thrall

-The Thrall is a very large and bulky enemy that wears a metal mask and is adorned with trinkets of steel, and usually uses bulky weapons like maces in combat.

-Thralls can be Speed Killed.

-As the Prince, Thralls can be a pain. Not quite as defensively competent as Reptus, but very good nonetheless, and without that helpful weakness to light. Wall rebound attacks are going to be the choice methods to eliminate Thralls, though ideally you're going to want to get them in a corner and brutalize them with combinations. They're slow, so you may want to consider a more slow-paced strategy or simply abandon the fight altogether.

-As the Dark Prince, Thralls are still tough, but can be dealt with much more easily. Rip through them with combinations, slowing down time if the battle gets to hectic. You likely won't have the luxury to abandon the fight, so use the best rebound attacks you have if your health starts to dwindle.

VII. BOSS STRATEGIES (BOSS7)

A. Klompa (1st Boss)

Location: The Arena

Wait for the cutscene. Be impressed.

Big guy, isn't he? Don't worry, he's beatable, although he can be a bit irksome if you don't know what you're doing. Klompa has a few basic attacks at the beginning of the battle. When you are close, he will use his grab, which does very little damage on its own (in fact, it will never kill you on its own), but if he throws you into the spikes around the arena, you will suffer massive damage. He also has a one handed pound, a two-handed pound, and a sword strike, all of which can be dodged simply by running.

To beat Klompa, you will need to use the platforms on the arena's edge to ascend to his height. From the beginning, and hug the wall to reach a ramp. Ascend the ramp, and run along the wall to the right to reach a beam. Climb the beam, and then jump to the right to reach the next platform. Ascend the next ramp, then run up the wall and stab into the plate. Then, run to the left to reach the last platform. During all this, Klompa will attempt to hit you, but if you are quick, you needn't worry.

Step out onto the beam, and intiate a Speed Kill. Klompa requires you to matchwith three visual cues in his Speed Kill. The first one happens when you dive out, the second happens when he has you in his hand, and the third happens when you are on his face.

Run along the edge of the arena to the left until you reach another ramp. Then, run up the ramp and stab into the plate. Then, run along the wall to the right and stab into the next plate, then run along the wall to the right to reach the platform. Ascend the ramp and run up the wall to stab into the plate. Then, run along the wall to the final platform.

Step out onto the beam, and initiate a Speed Kill. Klompa requires again for you to match with three visual cues. The first one happens when you dive out, the second happens when Klompa raises his hand to you, and the third happens when the Prince is on his head.

Now begins the really tricky part of the battle. Klompa gains a few new attacks, most notably his wild sword slashing. If he hits you with this, it's over--a one hit kill. To dodge it, roll forward at him or roll to the side. Do not backflip, as the sword will hit you if you do so. Klompa also has a forward kick, which does moderate damage--but the real threat is that he often follows up this kick with a sword slash, which is then impossible to dodge. He also has a stomp, which does heavy damage, and if he steps on you normally, it will do minor damage. Save your sand for rewinding sword slashes.

To beat him in this state, circle behind him and slash at his legs.Continually slash him there and you will whittle down his health bit by bit. Klompa will try to move away and counterattack, but if you dodge correctly each time, you will eventually bring him down. At the end you will bring down one leg, then the other, and then you will have to complete a final Speed Kill. The cues are three--one on his lower back, one when the Prince in the air, and the last when the Prince is on the back of the neck. If you miss any of these last three visual cues, Klompa will throw you off and gain back a little health, which you will of course have to take away. Complete the Speed Kill and Klompa will be finished at last.

A final note--there is a known glitch in this battle, where one of the visual

cues will fail to appear. If you follow this specific pattern for the fight, you should not get the glitch. If you do, however, you can still complete the Speed Kill by recognizing exactly when the visual cue is *supposed* to be. They are listed above, of course, for your convenience.

---

B. Mahasti (2nd Boss)

Location: The Brothel

Mahasti is a boss in the vein of the one-on-one battles found inthe previous game, Warrior Within--specifically, that of Shahdee. Mahasti has a myriad of moves. The first and most devastating health-wise is her long combo strike. However, the strike is easily blocked and can be countered as well. But perhaps even more deadly is her kick, which while not very strong physically and also slow, can bypass the block and kick the Prince right off the rooftop to his doom. Mahasti also has a nasty little habit of blocking most attacks and even countering counter-strikes.

So, what do we do? The most effective move against her in this first state isthe Aerial Landing Slash, so use it at will against her. The Counter-Attack iseffective too, as well as any slow-motion combinations. Be warned, however, try to save your sand for the upcoming portion of the battle.

Eventually you will lock your blades, a la Warrior Within. Press B rapidly to drive her back, and continue fighting. Eventually you will lock your bladesagain, and she will inevitably overpower you. This will force a change into the Dark Prince, heralding the second half of the battle.

As the Dark Prince, now you can easily tear Mahasti to pieces. So, in a verypredictable fashion, she will now flee you whenever you approach her. Theidea is to chase her around the buildings and activate slow-motion when you see her so that you can get in a lot of hits before she runs away again, and beat her this way. Of course, you'll be dying during this, so in between her buildings are buildings with Illusion enemies. Make sure to kill them each time to both get the sand for slowing time and for replenishing health.

When she gets to critical health, she will jump one last time and you will have to fight her and kill her in one last blade clash. Overpower Mahasti with pressing B rapidly and you will prove the superior warrior.

---

C. Stone Guardian (Miniboss)

Seemingly plucked from the lumbering giants in Warrior Within, this semi-bossis another homage to that game. He has many of the moves those enemies had, including the same types of punches, rushes, and even walking style.

Or maybe I'm just going nuts.

Either way, he's a real pushover. Circle behind him, slash at his legs a few times, and he'll fall over. Press B while facing his back and the Prince willget on him, a visual cue will ensue, and matching it will make the Prince begin to ride him through the gardens.

Now comes the real challenge. You'll have to guide this brute through the corridors without crashing--if you do, he'll come tumbling back down on you, and that's no good. One hit kill. >_<

So navigate him much like the chariot. He can brush off sideswipes, but he can't take a full-on collision. For your information, you will need to:

-Turn right and bash through a door-Turn left-Turn right-Turn right again-Turn left-Turn right-Turn left-Turn right-Turn right again-Turn right yet again-Turn left-Turn left again-Turn right-Turn right again-Turn left-Bash through the door ahead

And that's that. Really easier done than said, actually.

---

D. Lieutenants Blade and Axe (3rd Boss)

Okay, this is a boss fight with two bosses. The one on the left with the sword I call Blade. The one on the right with the axe I call Axe. Hey, I'm not here to entertain you, I'm here to help you!

Each of them has more than their fair share of standard attack. Axe can swinghis weapon surprisingly quickly, has a decent jab and a boot counter. He's also invincible defensively. So, suffice to say, we're going to be focusing our attention more on Blade.

Blade has a few sword combos up his sleeve, along with some devastating lungeattacks. He has power attacks capable of breaking through your block with ease, and will counter any and all forms of unconventional attack.

So, how do you beat these expert duo of cheese techniques? The secret is to constantly attack Blade with your dagger's standard B combos. Doing so will prompt Axe to leap into the air with a chop. If you get hit it's all for nothing, but if you roll out of the way he will get his axe stuck in the ground with comical effect, and you are free to pummel him with dagger combos to your heart's content...

...with a catch. The real danger lies here, as Blade will be attacking ferociously to protect his partner. You have to attack Axe to win, but doing so leaves you with the risk of suffering serious damage. Stay as far away from Blade as you can when you attack Axe. Rolling around Axe to keep him between you and Blade is effective, and vault over him if you're really in a pinch. When Axe recovers, start smacking Blade again to provoke him into doingthe same leaping chop. Dodge, rinse, and repeat.

When you take away about a third of health from Axe, you will get a prompt fora Speed Kill. Match with two visual cues to clear the first phase of the battle and take both enemies down to around half health.

Continue this same pattern. When Axe is nearly out of health, another prompt for a final Speed Kill will commence. Match the two visual cues to finish thetwo and end the boss battle.

---

E. Zervan (The Vizier, 4th Boss)

The first part of the battle has you facing off against Zervan in a wide openarea with Free-Form Fighting. Use your best combos to damage him while dodginghis attacks with rolling and backflips. After he takes a beating, he will float into the air and send a piece of debris at you, roll away from it to avoid damage. Continue using combinations on him until he floats up again, this time he will throw two pieces of debris at you. Repeat the process and he will throw three pieces of debris at you. Do this one more time to end Zervan's first phase.

The second phase is much more difficult. Large stones are floating around the arena that you must avoid, as well as Zervan's sand projectiles. To damageZervan, avoid these obstacles and run up the pillars behind him--he will oftenmove, though, so be on guard--and initiate a Speed Kill at the top. The firstone will cut his wing, the second will cut another wing, and the third willinitiate the final section of the battle. Each Speed Kill will require thematching of three visual cues, so keep that in mind.

Finally, Zervan will bring down the entire arena to create floating platforms,fly up high, and take pot shots at you with sand projectiles. Look to the lowest platform on the ground, and run up the pillar and jump to reach it. Jump forward from there to reach the next platform, then turn left and jump to reach a bar. Climb atop the bar (this is so if you get hit you won't fall to your death), turn around, shimmy right, and jump forward to the next platform. Turn left and jump to the another platform, then jump to the bar and swing-jump to the next platform. Turn right and jump to the next platform, then jump forward and pull up to the platform ahead of that. After that jump to the next platform, turn right and jump to the bar, and swing jump to the next platform. Run up the wall and jump from wall to wall to climb up to the next platform, then jump forward one more time to reach the very last platform. Step out toward Zervan, and jump toward him. Press B when the dagger flares to finish this fight and Zervan once and for all.

VIII. LIFE UPGRADES (LIFE8)

As a note, I must tell you that getting all the Life Upgrades does not give you anything other than extended health, to my knowledge. That means no alternate ending a la Warrior Within, sorry.

---

A. LIFE UPGRADE NUMBER ONE

Chapter Found: The Sewers

After touching your first pool of Water of Life and turning back from the Dark Prince into the Prince, continue through the level until you open a door. Go through it. To the right will be a series of traps and a fountain that continues through the level.

To your left is a curtain, which leads to the Life Upgrade. Go through it, and head to the edge of the platform. Jump to reach the next platform, then turn right and jump to another platform. Turn left and move out onto the beam, then jump to the next beam, then the next, and then the next to reach the next platform. Turn right and move out to the end of the next beam, then jump forward to reach another beam. Turn left and jump to reach the final platform, and drink from the fountain ahead to start the Life Upgrade hallway.

Don't bother wasting your sand in this hallway--if you die, you'll be sent back to the beginning with no consequences. Only resort to using sand if it is of the utmost importance in completing the hallway.

You will encounter a pair of spinning blades first. Wait for them to go down, then quickly run past them. Move out onto the beam ahead, and drop into a hang. Shimmy upward until you reach a perpendicular beam, then climb up it. Move back to the center and forward to the edge of the beam. Wait for the two spinning blades to pass, then jump to the next beam. Finally, move as close to the platform as you can without moving from the beam. When the spinning blade ahead goes down, jump forward and head into the light to attain the Life Upgrade.

B. LIFE UPGRADE NUMBER TWO

Chapter Found: The Lower City Rooftops

Right before the hallway that leads to the first boss (Klompa), there is a plate that opens two doors. The one closer to you leads to the boss, the farther one leads to the Life Upgrade.

Drop from the switch and run into the doorway farthest from you, remembering to roll in order to make it through. Run forward at the edge of the platform and drop to the ledge below. Then drop to the next ledge on the left, followed by another ledge. Then, move to the right and jump across to the ledge on the other side. Then, drop down to the floor. Turn around and follow the hallway,and run up the walls as you get to them. At the end is a fountain, drink from it to start the Life Upgrade hallway.

You will be confronted with two Panel Traps at the beginning. Wait until they both start to go down, then run forward to the beam ahead. Ahead is a set of arrow traps, wait until they fire, then jump to the next set of beams. Quickly move to the center of the cross that the beams make. Wait for the arrows aheadof you to fire, then quickly move to the end of the beam and jump to the next set of beams, quickly climbing up so that you don't get hit. Move left to the next beam, and move forward to the edge. You will now have to deal with sliding ledges. Wait for the lowest ledge to retract and come back, then quickly jump to it. Then, *very* quickly jump to the ledges above as they appear. Run into the light to get the Life Upgrade.

C. LIFE UPGRADE NUMBER THREE

Chapter Found: The Temple

After turning back from the Dark Prince into the Prince, in the tower where Zervan (The Vizier) fled from you, climb the tower until you reach the third bard.

From this bar, shimmy to the right and you should see a hole ahead of you. Swing-jump to the hole and climb through. Head forward to the edge of the platform, then run along the left wall to the curtain. Jump at the bottom of the curtain to reach the curtain on the other side, and slide down to the floor. Go forward, make a left, and drink from the fountain to start the LifeUpgrade hallway.

Run along the right wall to the shutter ahead, and jump from shutter to shutter all the way down the hall--there are nine shutters in total. At the end, you will encounter some crumbling columns, each separated by spinning blades. Wait for each blade to go down, and then jump to the next column. Do not hold the A button after the jump, as if you are still holding it at the end of the jump it can cause the column to fall prematurely. After you clear the last one and reach the platform, run into the light to get the Life Upgrade.

To return to the initial room, turn around and head back the way you came,until you reach the end of the hallway. Then run up the wall to the left, step on the pressure plate, and enter the door to reach the room again.

D. LIFE UPGRADE NUMBER FOUR

Chapter Found: The Canal

After dealing with the Stone Guardian miniboss, there is a fountain.

From the fountain, turn right and roll through the hole ahead. Turn left and move along the ledge on the right wall. Move all the way left, then drop to the next ledge and continue left, then drop to the platform below.

Turn left at the next platform and move along the ledge on the right wall. Move all the way left and then jump across to the ladder on the other side. Descend the ladder and jump across to the platform, then move forward to find the fountain. Drink from it to start the Life Upgrade hallway.

Go forward and turn left to find your first set of traps, bladed columns combined with spiked floors. Stand to the right, wait until the columns move left and up respectively, then quickly roll past the set of traps.

Make a right and move to the edge of the platform. For the next trap consisting of spinning blades along the wall, wait until the first blade clears the upper half of the trap and then run along the left wall to the opposite platform.

The next trap is a set of bladed columns with a floor of spikes between them.

Pick a side to cross on, then simply wait for the first column to move away and run through the set of traps. The last trap is a simple spinning blade, wait for it to go down and then run toward the light to gain the Life Upgrade.

E. LIFE UPGRADE NUMBER FIVE

Chapter Found: The Palace Entrance

In the large room with the elevator, climb the room until you reach a second crank.

Turn right and hop over the railing facing the elevator. Jump left and stab into the plate, then hop up and stab into the next plate, then hop up and do the same to the third plate. Activate the Eye of the Storm, jump off the rightwall up to the pressure plate, and then drop down and stab into the middle plate. Jump to the right and run up through the newly opened door. Go to the end of the hallway and drink the water from the fountain to start the Life Upgrade hallway.

You begin with a miniature spinning blade in the way, followed by a panel trap, and that followed by slower miniature spinning blade. Pick a side, wait for the blade to move when panel about to go down, then run and jump to the next platform. Keep running and jump to the next platform past the mini-blade to clear the set of traps.

Above you is a gauntlet of retracting ledges. Wait for the first one to come out, then run up the wall and climb it. Continue to climb and jump from ledge to ledge until you reach the top platform.

The final set of traps is a hellish combination of dual miniature spinning blades in a criss-cross formation, two alternating panel traps to the sides, and other panel trap at the very end. Move to either the left or right, wait for the panel trap on your respective side to start to descend along with thepanel at the very end, then simply run through to the light to get the Life Upgrade.

Climb the outside of the tower until you reach a platform with a doorway.

Turn around and drop down to the beam below. Drop from that beam to another beam below that, and jump back from there to a beam behind you. Use that toenter the secret hallway. Follow the hallway down, then run up the wall and leap from ledge to ledge in order to ascend. At the end you will reach aplatform with a fountain, drink from it to start the final Life Upgrade hallway.

Ahead there is a stationary horizontal spinning blade trap, followed by a panel trap. Stand on the right, wait for the panel to start going down, then go forth to roll under the blade and run past the panel to clear the set.

~~~~~~~~~About Me:~~~~~~~~~

Hello, everyone. My name is David DeGregorio and I am a sophomore in college. I have just recently decided to start writing FAQ's for my favorite games. This is my seventh FAQ to date. If you would like to read any of my other FAQs, just click on my username on the previous page and you will see all of my FAQs.

Prince Of Persia: The Two Thrones was an amazing sequel in many regards. It fixed many of the problems of the first two games while still retaining the same great graphics and platforming. After my last guide on Warrior Within, The Two Thrones is a perfect candidate for a new FAQ.

I have done my best to make sure there are no errors in the FAQ. If you find any, let me know and I will update as soon as I possibly can (and I'm not busy usually so it won't take long). Also, if you have any questions, comments, concerns, etc. just email me and I will email back. I check my email every day. Thank you. Now let's get this FAQ underway.

~~~~~~~~~Spoilers:~~~~~~~~~

As usual, I will refrain from using spoilers in this guide. I don't believe in spoilers. They ruin the story for you, the gamer, and take away from the experience. So, yeah, no spoilers will be included in any of my guides. If you see something that looks like a spoiler, please let me know and I will edit that part or take it out completely. Thank you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Getting Started:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

First of all, you will need a copy of The Two Thrones. This guide is for the PS2 version of the game. Buy it, rent it, or borrow it from a friend if you have to, however you will need the game to use this guide.

Pop the disc into your PS2 and you're ready to go. You are in control of the Prince of Persia. He has gotten stronger and gained some new moves since the last game.

~~~~~~~~~~~~Walkthrough:~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Arriving At Babylon's Shore: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After the opening scene, you gain control of the Prince. This first part is essentially a tutorial on how to control the Prince. Walk forward and press x to roll through the small opening. In the next area there is fire blocking your path. Turn right and walk around the fire.

Turn left and walk until you reach a dead end. Turn left and press X to jump up and grab the box. Pull yourself up and turn left again. Walk forward and jump the gap. Jump the next gap and turn left. Jump the next gap and turn left once more time.

Run along the wall to reach the next platform. Turn right and run up the wall to grab a groove in the wall. Shimmy to the left and turn the corner. When you can't go any further press circle to drop down to the platform beneath you. Turn left and drop down to the platform below. There should be a ladder in front of you. Slide down the ladder and walk forward.

Turn right and enter the next room. Walk forward and climb the column as far as it lets you. At this point, the camera angle will change and you will see another column. Jump to that column and climb as far as you can. Jump back to the first column and climb to the top. Look to your left and you will see a platform that you can jump to. Jump to the platform and turn right.

Walk forward and climb up to the next level. Turn right and push against the railing to jump over and hang from it. Jump to the column behind you and climb to the top. Jump to the groove in the wall and

shimmy to the right. Drop down to the platform below.

Turn around and run along the wall to reach a small ledge. Jump up and grab the groove in the wall. Shimmy to the left and pull yourself up. Jump down and save your game at the fountain.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Ramparts: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Turn left and run down the ramp. Follow the path to the right and climb the ladder. Turn right and walk into the house. You will finally receive a weapon, although it is only a fisherman's knife. After the scene, you will be prompted to make a speed kill. A speed kill is basically when you kill an enemy stealthily, without alerting other guards.

Press triangle to initiate a speed kill and press the onscreen buttons to kill the enemy. After you kill the first soldier, turn right and hang off the railing. Jump to the column behind you and slide down to the lower level. Kill the next guard and walk forward.

Turn right and jump the gap. Jump up and grab the groove in the wall. Shimmy to the right as far as you can and pull yourself up. Jump up and grab the groove above. Shimmy to right until you can't go any further. Drop down to the ledge below and sidestep right as far as you can.

Jump to the platform on the right and slide down the ladder. Kill the next guard and take his weapon. Follow the path around and run down the ramp. Drop down to the level below and take out the next guard. Walk forward and turn right. Walk through the archway and follow the path as it curves to the right.

Run along the left wall and jump at the end to reach a small ledge. Pull yourself up and shimmy left. Jump to the ledge above and shimmy to the left. Pull yourself up and turn left. Climb the long ladder to the top. Walk forward and run up the wall in front of you. Go through the window and drop down to the platform.

Watch the scene and turn left. Run along the wall until you reach the curtain. The Prince will automatically slide down it. Turn around and walk forward. The door from the scene is locked, so we will have to take the long way around. Continue forward and kill the guards here. Blocking helps if you are on higher difficulties.

When they are dead, continue forward and turn left into another room. Climb the ladder to the top and jump to the ladder behind you. Tilt the analog stick left or right to flip around to the other side of the ladder. Climb to the top of the ladder.

Turn right and run up the wall. At the peak of your run, jump to the ledge behind you. Shimmy to the left until you are lined up with the ladder on the right. Jump to the ladder and climb to the top. Walk forward and drop down to the platform below. Turn left and walk forward.

When you get to the wall, walk to the left side and jump up. You will

grab a small ledge. Pull yourself up and jump to the top of the wall. Run along the wall to reach another ledge. Drop down and kill the archer. Walk forward and slide down the ladder.

Walk forward and kill the guard. There is another archer further down the hallway. Take it out and turn left. Go through the doorway and walk forward. Climb the ladder and drop down to the next area. Save your game at the fountain.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Harbor District: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Turn left and walk across the wooden walkway. Run along the left wall and jump to the next walkway. Walk to the end of the walkway and move close to the wall. You should be able to sidle onto the small ledge here. Shimmy to the right until you are blocked by the wall, then press circle to hang from the ledge. Shimmy to the right and turn the corner. Shimmy to the right some more until you can pull yourself up again.

Shimmy to the right until you reach the next platform. Turn right and walk across the beam until you reach the wall. Shimmy to the right and go around the corner. Walk to the end of the next beam and jump to the platform. Turn left and roll through the small opening.

Go forward and walk to the end of the small beam. Jump to the next beam and hang from it. Drop down to the beam below. If you want, you can kill the guards below with a speed kill, although I find it easier to just drop to the floor and kill them. Take out the guards and walk forward. Enter the small alcove on the right.

Run up the wall and jump to reach a beam. Jump up and grab the beam above. Pull yourself up. Walk left until you reach solid ground. Walk forward and jump to the beam in front of you. Pull yourself up and walk to the end of the small beam.

Jump to the gap between the two walls. Slide down to the bottom and press circle to drop to the floor. Take out the guards here and walk forward. Turn right and jump to the beam. Walk right until you reach the wall. Jump forward to the next beam. Walk left until you reach the end of the beam.

Turn the camera to the left so that you can see a gap between two walls. Jump to it and climb to the top. Hang from the platform on the right and pull yourself up. Walk forward and jump to the next beam. Walk to the end of the small beam and jump to the wall gap. Slide to the bottom and drop down to the floor.

Kill the guard and walk up the small staircase. Go forward and jump to the beam in the middle of the area. Drop to the ground and kill two more guards. When they're dead, climb up the ladder where the archer was. Turn right and walk across the beam. Jump to the platform ahead.

Walk forward and kill the archer. Walk to the end of the hall and roll through the small opening. Go around the corner and save your game at the fountain.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Streets Of Babylon: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Drop to the ground and kill the guards. Run along the left wall to reach another beam. Walk to the end of the beam and jump to the platform.

Follow the path until you reach a dead end. Run up the wall on the right and jump from wall to wall to reach a small ledge at the top. Jump to the ledge on the right. Jump up and grab the ledge above. Pull yourself up and shimmy to the right until you reach the next platform.

Turn right and climb up to the platform above. Turn right and walk across the beam. Turn left and jump from beam to beam until you reach the next platform. Walk forward and hang over the railing. Drop down to the floor below and take out the guards.

Follow the path until you get to another beam. Walk to the end of it and jump to the groove in the wall. Shimmy to the left until you reach another small beam. Pull yourself up and jump to the beam in the distance. Walk to the end of it and jump to the next hallway.

Follow the hallway until you reach a pit. Run along the right wall and jump to the beam on the left. Jump to the wall on the right and rebound to reach the higher beam. Walk to the end of the beam and jump the gap to reach solid ground again. Walk forward and save your game at the fountain.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Palace Balcony: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Turn left and walk forward. Turn right and hop over the railing. Run along the left wall and jump to the balcony on the right. Follow the balcony and turn right into the hall. Kill the guards here, walk to the end of the hall, and turn right. Kill some more guards. Walk to the far side of the room and turn left.

Climb onto the little pedestal here. Run up the wall and press square to plunge your dagger into the dagger plate. Jump up and hang from the higher dagger plate. Jump to the balcony behind you. Turn right and walk to the end of the balcony. Run along the left wall and jump when you reach the shutter to reach another balcony.

Walk left and step on the floor switch. A door will open at the end of the hall. Go through the door before it closes. Walk to the right side of the room and climb on the table. Run along the right wall and press square to hang from the dagger plate. Drop down to the beam below you. Walk to the end of the beam and jump to another dagger plate.

Drop down to the floor and kill another guard. Climb up the column on the right as far as you can go. Jump to the small beam on the right and pull yourself up. Jump to the balcony in front of you. Turn right and

walk forward. Kill the archer here.

Walk to the railing and hang from it. Jump to the beam behind you. Drop down to the floor and kill the guard. Turn around and walk to the end of the hall. Turn right and destroy the furniture that's blocking the door. Walk forward and climb up to the higher platform. Kill the guard.

Turn left and walk to the wall. You should see dagger plates on this wall. Run up the wall and hang from the first plate. Jump up to the next dagger plate. Now you have to reach a dagger plate to your left. It seems impossible but there is an easy way to reach it. Hold R1 and tilt the analog stick to the left. The Prince will use the dagger plate to gain momentum and start to run along the wall. Plunge your dagger into the next plate. Run to the left once more and you will reach a balcony.

Turn left and walk forward until you reach the wall. Turn left again. You will see another table here. Climb onto the table. Run along the right wall and press x when you reach the shutter. You will land on an archer and a speed kill sequence will start. Kill the archer and walk to the left side of the balcony. Run up the wall and jump at the peak of your run to reach another beam.

Pull yourself up and jump to the beam behind you. Walk to the end of the beam and jump to the narrow ledge below the railing. Jump up and climb over the railing to reach another balcony. Turn right and break through the barricade of furniture. Kill the guards and turn left. Walk to the end of the hall and turn left again.

Walk forward and enter the next room. Walk forward and turn left. Climb onto the small platform. Run up the wall and hang from the dagger plate. Run to the right to reach a ledge. Shimmy to the right until you reach an opening in the rail. As you go, you will see Kaileena being dragged by those same guards. Climb up onto the balcony, turn left, and run after the guards.

Unfortunately, the guards elude you once more. They will disappear behind a door that you can't open. Walk to the door and turn left. Walk forward and you will see a button on the wall. This opens a different door above the balcony. Run up the wall, pressing the button as you do, and jump to the beam behind you. Walk across the beam and go through the door that you just opened. Save your game at the fountain.

~~~~~~~~~~~ The Palace: ~~~~~~~~~~~

Turn right and look down the next hall. The tiny holes in the floor aren't just for decoration. As soon as you step over them, spikes will pop out of the floor and try to skewer you. Run down the hall and the spikes will just miss you. Turn left at the end of the hall.

Walk forward and roll past the rotating blade. Wait for the spiked log to rotate onto its safe side and run up the wall. Hop over the railing and walk forward. When the rotating blade is almost fully retracted into the wall, run along the wall, past the blade, and jump to the corridor on the left.

Wait for the log to rotate onto its safe side then run along the wall and use the shutter to reach the next hallway. Wait for the next spiked log to rotate to its safe side, then run past the floor spikes and run up the wall. Roll past two more blades and you are done with traps for a while.

Go forward and rotate the lever to open a ceiling panel above you. Turn around and look to your left. There is a brown thing on the wall. This is actually a lever. It works a lot like a dagger plate. Simply run up the wall and press square to plunge your dagger in to the lever.

After you pull the lever, a block will extend behind the Prince. Jump to the block and run up the wall to reach a small ledge. (Be quick about it because the block will start to retract into the wall.) Pull yourself onto the ledge. Jump up and grab the ledge above. Pull yourself up and walk forward. Turn left and walk to the next fountain. Save your game.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Throne Room: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Turn right and walk to the swan statue. Climb onto the flat platform behind it. Run up the wall and hang from the dagger plate. Run to the right to reach another platform. Run along the left wall and use the shutter to reach another platform. Kill the archer here.

Turn right and run along the wall to reach another platform. Run up the wall to reach a higher platform. Turn right and run along the left wall. Use the shutter to reach a small ledge. Jump up and hang from the dagger plate. Jump to the groove in the wall behind you.

Shimmy to the right until you are hanging from a beam. Pull yourself up and walk to the right. Walk to the end of the short beam. Jump to the gap between the walls and slide down to the bottom. Drop to the ground and kill the archer. Run up the wall on the right to reach a small ledge. Pull yourself up.

Shimmy to the right and jump up to the dagger plate. Run to the right and jump to the ledge on the right. Shimmy to the left and jump to the column. Slide down to the ground. Turn around and walk to the stairs. There is an archer at the top of the stairs. You can kill it if you want.

When you're ready, walk past the stairs and kill the two guards. Walk to the doorway behind the guards and a scene will take over.

After the scene you will gain the power to rewind time which is extremely helpful. Hold L1 at any time to rewind time. This takes a lot of the frustration out of platforming and traps. You will regain control of the Prince now. Walk into the room and turn right. Follow the hall until you reach a locked door. (Make sure you run down the final hallway because it will fall underneath your weight.)

Turn around and you will see a button on the wall. Run up the wall to press the button and run through the door before it closes. Quickly run

forward and jump across the gap. Run down the hall before it collapses and turn left. When you get to the large gap, turn right.

Run up the wall and hang from the dagger plate. Run to the left and hang from the next dagger plate. Run to the left again to reach another platform. Turn left and run along the wall to reach a banner. Slide down it and land on a balcony. This will also collapse so run into the hallway. Save your game at the fountain.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Trapped Hallway: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Turn right and walk down the hallway. There are a few traps here but they aren't that bad. For most of the traps, wait for the spiked logs to rotate onto their safe sides and roll past the spiked poles. When you have passed all the traps, you will be at the top of a large staircase.

Once you reach the top of the staircase, turn right and you will see another button on the wall. Run up the wall and press the button. This opens a door at the bottom of the staircase. Run down the staircase and go through the door. You are now in a large room. Walk to the column in the far right corner. (Be careful. The floor in the center of the room will collapse.)

This column is the only one you can climb. Climb to the top and jump to the next column. Climb to the top and jump to another column. Climb to the top of this column and jump to the ledge on the left wall. Pull yourself up and shimmy to the right as far as you can. Jump up and grab the ledge above.

Shimmy to the right as far as you can. Jump to the column behind you. Quickly jump to the dagger plate on the wall. Run to the right to reach another dagger plate. Run to the right again to reach a third dagger plate. Jump to the column behind the prince. Quickly jump to the next column.

Jump to the small beam on the left. Jump to the small opening and take a breather. Jump to the banner and slide down. Before you reach the bottom, jump backwards to the gap between the walls. Slide down the gap and drop to the ground. Save your game at the fountain.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Ruined Palace: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Turn left and walk through the archway. Walk down the hallway and you will encounter some more traps. For the first trap, wait for either log to rotate onto its safe side and then roll past the spiked pole. For the next trap, wait for all three logs to rotate to their safe sides and then run past. The last trap is just three spiked poles. Stand on the left side and wait for the first pole to move right. Run past all three poles and then run down the hallway before the floor crumbles under your weight.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Fortress: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Go to the opening in the railing and drop down into the gap. Slide down to the bottom and drop to the ground. Take out the guards here. It is better to speed kill the guards so they don't call for reinforcements. Once all the guards are dead, walk to the Sand Gate and the Prince will automatically deactivate it. You will gain a new sand tank for doing this.

Walk over to the left side of the platform and you will see a gap in the railing. Wait for the spiked log to rotate onto its safe side. Run along the left wall, over the log, and jump to the pole. Swing to the next pole and jump to the platform. Kill the guard here.

Look down below and you should see a couple enemies standing guard. Above them, a long chain is hanging down. It is hard to see unless you look closely but it is there. Jump to the chain and slide down to the bottom. Drop down and kill the guards. Walk around the area and kill the archer that is patrolling. Return to where the chain was.

In the corner of this area is a wooden platform. Run up the wall, grab the edge of the platform, and pull yourself up. Look up at the wall and you will see dagger plates here.

Swing from pole to pole until you reach a dagger switch. Activate the switch and go through the gate before it closes. Walk into the water and watch the scene. After the transformation, walk forward and another scene will take over.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chariot Chase: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After the scene, you will be in control of a chariot. They are simple to control but dangerous. Use the left analog stick to turn left and right. Press square to attack any enemies. Be careful though: if you run into anything that's not an enemy, you will die. Your recall power comes in handy here.

Follow the path until you are assaulted by an enemy chariot. Do your best to ram it into a wall without ramming into a wall yourself. I find it easy to keep it at bay until you reach the arch and then just ram it into the side of the archway.

When you reach the fork, take the right path and fend of the enemies. Go left at the next fork and keep fending off those pesky enemies. You can take either road at the last fork. At the end of this chariot sequence you will have to fight another chariot. Just keep it at bay until the scene takes over.

Drop down and kill the two guards. Follow the walkway under the balcony and turn right. Walk forward and turn left. Walk to the end of the beam and jump to the pole. Swing to the gap between the walls and slide to the bottom. Drop down to the ground and kill the guards here. When they are all dead, walk to the Sand Gate and deactivate it.

Turn right and walk to the end of the long tunnel. Walk into the arena and watch the scene. Now it's time for a boss fight! It's about time.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Klompa^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^This is quite different from a normal boss fight. In order to damage this guy, you have to get rid of its sight. If it can't see you, it can't hurt you. In order to do this, you must find a way to reach its

eyes. At the start of the fight, walk to the right side of the arena, rolling to avoid Klompa's smash attacks. Walk around the edge of the arena until you reach a ramp. Walk to the top of the ramp and face right. Run along the wall to reach the beam and pull yourself up. Klompa will smash the wall that is in your way. Hey, thanks man.

Run up the wall and hang from the dagger plate. Run to the right and use the next dagger plate. Wait for Klompa to destroy the wall in your way and then run to the right again. Walk to the right a bit. Run up the wall and hang from the dagger plate. Run to the left to reach a platform. Walk to the end of the beam and initiate the speed kill. After the speed kill sequence, Klompa will be blind.

Now that Klompa is blind, we can attack him. He is still dangerous, so watch out. He will swing his sword wildly around but this can be dodged by rolling behind him. Make sure you keep your distance when he swings those massive legs. Get behind Klompa and hack away at his legs. Slowly, his health bar will deplete. When he is about to die, attack his legs a final time and he will stand on one leg. Quickly go to the other leg and slash it. Klompa will fall down and you will go into a third speed kill sequence. Stab whenever the dagger flashes and Klompa will go down.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The Vizier: Part 1^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^For the first part of this battle, you need to be on the offensive. The vizier has a few attacks to watch out for, though. He will either stab at you with one arm or he will swipe at you with both arms. To avoid the single-arm attack, either roll to the side or block it. The two-arm attack cannot be blocked, so roll to avoid it. Continue to attack the vizier until he flies away. He will now throw a large piece of rubble at you. Walk to the left side of the area and roll to the left to avoid

the rubble. Go back to attacking the vizier until he flies away again. This time he will throw two pieces of rubble at you. Go to the left to avoid the first piece and the right to avoid the second piece. After some more fighting, he will throw three pieces of rubble at you. For this last part, go to the left for the first piece, the right for the second piece, and the left for the final piece of rubble. Attack him some more and a scene will take over.^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The Vizier: Part 2^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^During this second phase, most of the hazard comes from the rocks floating around the area. The vizier will use a light orb attack but it doesn't do much damage. Avoid the rocks and run up the column behind the vizier. You will be prompted to do a speed kill. Press square three times and one of the vizier's wings will come off. Avoid the rocks and perform two more speed kills. Once you successfully perform the speed kills, a scene will take over.^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The Vizier: Part 3^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^This part is radically different from a boss fight. Basically, you have to make your way to the vizier, using the floating rubble, in order to deliver the final blow. The important thing to remember here is that the vizier will keep pelting you with orb attacks, which will knock you off of any object you are hanging on. It is best to wait on a platform for him to attack you and then continue platforming. The vizier's attack isn't that powerful and only takes away a tiny bit of damage. Find the platform closest to the ground. Run up the column and jump to the platform. Pull yourself up. Jump to the platform in front of you and turn left. Jump to the pole and climb on top. Turn around and shimmy to the right. Jump forward to the next platform. Turn left and jump to another platform. Jump to the pole and swing to the next platform. Turn right and jump to the next platform. From there, jump forward to another platform. Jump to the next platform, turn right, and jump to the pole. Swing to the next platform. Run up the wall and jump to the platform behind you. Pull yourself up. Jump forward to reach the last platform. Jump towards the vizier and press square when the dagger flashes. Watch the scene afterwards.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mental Realm: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After the scene, attack the dark prince until the sky darkens and you fall into the mental realm. The cool part about this area is that you cannot die. Everything is fairly linear here, so just follow the path until the end. Try to kill yourself if you want. It's fun. Anyway, after you complete this alarmingly easy platforming section, watch the end scene and the credits.

Congratulations! You have beaten the game! Thanks for playing and for using this guide. I will be making more in the future.^_^

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ /(_/(_/(_/(_/(_/(_/(_/(_/(_/(_/(_/(_/(_ _)\ _)\ /(_ Location: "The Ramparts" (1%) /(_ _)\ _)\ /(_^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ /(_ _)\_)\_)\_)\_)\_)\_)\_)\_)\_)\_)\_)\_)\

(Note: If you are wondering what the 1% by the location name is for. Wedecided we would add the rough percentage of the game you have now completedso far. This is not exact as the game does not tell but this will at leasttell you how far you are into the game. We based the numbers off of how manychapters/save names and by how long we felt each one roughly took.)

1. Go to the Prince's left and go down the ramp you find here.

2. You should see an eye symbol at the bottom left of your screen when youreach the bottom of the ramp. Use your Landscape view (L2) to help you see alarger view of the area and it sometimes helps you know where you need to goif you are stuck (I recommend anytime you see the Icon to use it to check outthe area and if you need to get out of it push L2 a second time to get out ofit).

When you see that you need to trigger a speed kill attack (Triangle).Once you have triggered one wait until you see your Dagger flash and thenpush the Attack button (Square). Everytime you see the dagger flash isanother time you will need to push the attack button (It takes very goodtiming and alot of practice especially on boss fights). This move is veryimportant to know how to use so I recommend practicing this move on futureenemies and learning how to do them because if you don't you won't beat anyBosses in this game. When you see the flash you only have about a second topush the attack button or else you will fail the speed kill and get hit orthrown if the flash disappears on the dagger before you push the attack

button.

1. Facing the Fountain go to the Prince's left down the hallway here and go

out of the doorway at the end of this hallway.

(Note: We have heard some are having problems with the next boss fight wherethe flash of the dagger does not appear during the speed kill sequences. Ifthe speed kill flash does not work for you on this boss battle ahead for somereason direct all your questions about it to the various Message Boards as wedid NOT run into any problems with this Boss Fight at all no matter whichside we started on.)

Scene

2. Boss Battle "Klompa"

(Note: When you start this Battle you can go to the right side of the Arenato find a ramp or go to the Left. We start off with the one to the right onlybecause it is closer to where you start the fight at. We were able to do iteither way so it doesn't matter which side you start on. I do recommendstarting with the one the fight starts near though. When you start a speedkill sequence be sure to not push any other button except for the speed killattack button (Square) only when the Dagger Flashes though and only push itonce or you may screw up the next Dagger flash. Timing is the key for mostof the boss battles when you need to do a speed kill on them. If you pushthe attack button too early it won't show the flash and if you get themessage that says you were too slow (as in pushed it too late) it not onlygives you this message when you are too slow but it also gives this samemessage when you pushed it too soon. You can also just try to go with whenyou hear the unique sound the dagger makes when it flashes to push the buttoninstead of going with out actually seeing the flash of the dagger becauseduring some boss fights the camera does NOT always give you the best view ofthe dagger.)

These are the steps you need to follow to defeat this boss:

A. Ignore the big guy for the moment and go to the Prince's right along theedge of the arena (or you can start from the other side first and skip downto step E).

B. Dodge any attacks he might try on you as you are going and you shouldeventually see a wooden ramp to go up.

C. Go up the ramp and wall run up the wall at the top of the ramp beforeusing the Dagger Plate at the peak of the wall run. Wall run to the Prince'sright and use the next Dagger Plate you see along this wall. Wait until thebig guy breaks the wall blocking your way to the right and then wall run tothe Prince's right to grab a railing of a ledge. Hop over the railing and goup the ramp in front of the Prince. Wall run up the wall below the DaggerPlate you see above you and use it. Quickly wall run to the Prince's leftfrom the Dagger Plate to avoid being hit and then go out onto the smallnarrow beam quickly or he will swat you with his sword. Use the Speed killtrigger (Triangle) when you get the prompt about halfway walking along thesmall narrow beam. You will now need to wait until the Dagger flashes toattack the big guy. The first one will be right when you land on hisarm/shoulder and then the Prince will run across his back to his othershoulder. Right before the big guy grabs you the dagger should flash again toattack (Square) a second time. The Prince should jump up onto his head andwhen he is about to stab him in the eye you will need to give him the finalattack (Square) to end this first speed kill.

D. The Prince will then jump off of him and now you need to go to the otherside of the Arena.

E. You should find a ramp similar to the one you just used on the other sideof the Arena. Go up the ramp and wall run to the Prince's right to grab thenarrow beam you see here. Climb up onto it and jump to the ledge in front ofthe Prince once the big guy breaks the wall in your way. Go up the ramp infront of the Prince and wall run up the wall below the Dagger Plate you seeabove you to use it. Wall run to the Prince's left and go out onto the smallbeam on this ledge. Do the same as before and trigger a speed kill once youare on the small beam (watch for the dagger to flash). The first attack youshould give to him is when the Prince is flying towards him in midair and thesecond attack should be on his hand when he starts squeezing you with hishand. The final attack for this speed kill is when the Prince gets on hishead and stabs him in the other eye he didn't attack yet.

F. Now that you have him on the Ground you will need to get one final speedkill on him.

G. You first need to wait until he stands up and then once he does attack theback of his legs (if you have played Warrior Within you need to do almost thesame thing you did against the golems in that game to make them kneel) untilhe lifts up one of his legs in pain.

H. Quickly hit the leg that isn't up in the air and this should bring himdown to his knees if done fast enough (for hard mode this means you will needto hit his legs until his life bar at the bottom of the screen is almostgone).

I. Once he goes on his knees the Prince will hop on his back to start a thefinal speed kill. Your first attack (triangle when dagger flashes) will bewhen the Prince is on his back and the second attack is when the Prince is inmid air just after stabbing him in the back. The final speed kill attack willhappen when the Prince is about to stab the big guy in the back of the neck.

A. Go over to the lone block of stone to the Prince's right and wall runalong the wall to the Prince's right. Jump to the pole to the Prince's rightat the end of his wall run and line up the prince with the slim Dagger Plateyou see in front of the Prince.

Wall runto the Prince's left and then jump to the pole to the Prince's left beforethe end of the wall run. Swing/Jump to the small narrow beam in front of thePrince and then jump to the ledge you see up ahead once you see the enemy atthe doorway you are near walks away.

(Note: We found this Option B by accident it's like a little shortcut forthe beginning part of Option A.)

Wall run up one of the walls and then jumpto the wall of the other building. Jump back to the first wall you ran up andthe Prince should grab the wooden ledge (you have to pull off the jumps inthe right place to pull this off just right that is why I say you shouldstick with Option A but we thought since we found this way we would shareit). Wall run along the wall to the Prince's right and near the end of thewall run jump to the pole you see here. Climb up onto the pole (X) and jump

to the white wall you see to the right of the screen. Climb up onto that walland then Jump to the broken ledge you see up ahead of the Prince (where theDagger Plate on the wall is at). Sidestep to the Prince's right afterclimbing up and then wall run up the wall to use the Dagger Plate. Wall runto the Prince's left and then jump to the pole to the Prince's left beforethe end of the wall run. Swing/Jump to the small narrow beam in front of thePrince and then jump to the ledge you see up ahead once you see the enemy atthe doorway you are near walks away.

34. Go to the Prince's right on this ledge (you may want to break the potson this ledge first to get some sand to rewind if your tanks are empty fromthe dog/wolf fight)and hop over the railing to the Prince's right to hangfrom it.

35. Jump to the small narrow beam behind the Prince and then Jump to theDagger Plate on the wall you can see from here.

Scene

2. Boss Battle "Sword & Axe Twins"

(Note: During this fight try to keep these two a good distance away from eachother to make this fight easier. If they are too close to each other you willhave a harder time rolling out of the way of the Axe enemy's attack.)

At the very beginning of this fight pretend like the Axe wielding twin isn'teven there. Attack the sword wielding twin only and once you get enough hitson the sword twin you should see the Axe twin come up behind you. Once hedoes that it should go into a slow motion scene of the Axe twin trying toslice the Prince into two. Quickly roll out of the way of the Axe attack andif done correctly the Axe should get stuck in the ground with the Axe enemytrying to pull it out. Quickly go behind or on the side of the Axe twin andstart attacking him as many times as you can before they pull the Axe out ofthe ground (if you can try to keep the Axe twin in between you and the swordtwin to avoid any unwanted damage from the Sword twin and if you can't try toat least block the Sword twin's attacks if he tries to attack you while yourattacking the Axe twin). Once the Axe is pulled out of the ground go back toattacking the sword wielding twin until the Axe twin tries to Slice thePrince in two again and roll out of the way again before attacking the Axetwin again until the Axe is pulled out of the ground. Repeat this processabout 3 or more times (depending on the difficulty I'm guessing) andeventually it will give you a chance to trigger a speed kill. Push the speedkill attack button (Square) twice at the correct times that the daggerflashes (it only flashed for me twice anyways for the first speed killattempt). Continue the same tactic again of attacking the Sword twin untilthe Axe twin gets their Axe stuck in the ground before attacking the Axetwin and you will eventually get a second speed kill trigger. Push the speedkill button 3 times at the correct times that the dagger flashes to complete

this speed kill sequence and end the boss battle.

Scene

Boss Battle "Vizier (Attack Plan #1)"

The main thing I recommend here is try to dodge every attack he does hereby rolling or running and keep your distance from him. Once he comes up fora close up hit (usually tries to swipe at you close up) dodge or block it andthen attack him or you can also try using Eye of the Storm (slow down time)before attacking him (but I recommend saving your sands). Once he flies up orblocks with his head armor back away from him and continue to dodge moreattacks including the throwing of debris. When he comes close again do the

same as before (dodge or block the attack and then attack him. Keep doingthis until you have taken almost half his life bar.

Alternate Strategy for "Vizier (Attack Plan #1)"

To get the least damage in this phase, simply get in the first hit (I usuallypress Square) on the Vizier and follow up with 3 more hits (press Square x3). There's no need for fancy combos here, a simple 3-hit combo is effectiveenough.

At this time, he will block the Prince's last hit and then attack the Prince.To avoid his attack simply jump to avoid his one wing attack on the Prince,If done correctly you should avoid his attack.

If the Vizier flies back a little then swoop forward, most likely he will useboth wings to cut the Prince from under. This move is unblockable so you canonly try to intercept his hit first with one of Prince's OR roll away. Theone-winged attack is blockable though.

Keep repeating this (hit 4 times, jump, hit 4 times, jump) until the Vizierflys away to hurl the first pillar at the Prince. Then run towards the Vizierand try to get your hit in first. When that happens, you can repeat the 4-hit1-jump combo again until the second time he flies back and hurls 2 morepillars and later, 3 pillars. Once the Vizier is at half life, you can safelyroll away and allow him to transfer to the second phase (Attack Plan #2).

Scene

Boss Battle "Vizier (Attack Plan #2)"

Dodge the Debris that is now flying around and avoid his energy ball attack.Make your way past the debris towards the pillars that the Vizier is flyingnear. Wall run up the pillar(s) quickly and use a speed kill attack when youprompted. Hit the Vizier everytime the sword flashes and then once you areback on the ground with one of his wings you will need to do the same thing atwo more times until you have taken two more body parts off him (his lifebar should be more then halfway gone by this time).

Scene

Boss Battle "Vizier (Attack Plan #3)"

Go towards the pillars near the debris that is closest to the ground and wallrun up the pillars before jumping to the debris. Jump to the next piece ofdebris in front of you and once you climb up onto it jump to the pole to thePrince's left. Swing/Jump to the ledge you see in front of you and then wallrun to the Prince's right. At the end of your wall run jump to the narrowpiece of debris to the Prince's right. Quickly climb up onto it (if you arehit with an energy ball you will fall to your death) and jump to the ledge infront of you. Be sure to always be standing on something before any energyballs hit you or you will pay with death or sand tanks bringing you back fromdeath. Quickly jump to the ledge you can see to the Prince's left and thenjump to the lower ledge to the Prince's right. Jump to the floating debrisbelow you to the Prince's right that is right near the wall. Wall run alongthe wall to the Prince's right and at the end of the wall run jump to thepole to the Prince's right. Climb up onto the pole if an energy ball if youthink one is coming and then jump to the ledge you see in front of you. Climb

up onto the narrow debris and walk to Prince's left. Jump to the debris nearthe wall and then wall run to the Prince's right. Jump to the platform yousee at the end of the wall run to the Prince's right and then jump to thenarrow debris in front of you. Climb up onto it and jump to the pole you cansee up ahead. Swing/Jump to the ledge in front of you quickly and climb uponto it. Jump to the higher debris you see floating to the Prince's right andclimb up onto it. Jump to the narrow debris to the Prince's right and onceyou climb onto it jump to the next ledge up ahead. Jump to the Pole to thePrince's right and quickly swing/jump to the ledge up ahead. Climb up onto itquickly and then wall run up the wall in front of you. Jump at the peak ofyour wall run to grab the narrow debris behind the prince and climb up ontoit. Jump to the narrow debris you see nearby and then jump towards theVizier. Push the speed kill attack button (Square) when your dagger flashesto finish off the Vizier (after the Camera spins around you almost one fullcircle).

???????????????????????????????????? VII. Frequently Asked Questions ????????????????????????????????????

1.

Q. I am having trouble wall jumping (jumping back and forth between walls)have any tips on how to do a wall to wall jump better?

A. The Main tip is practice makes perfect and the second tip is you need topush Jump (X) when you feel the Prince touch the wall. When the Princetouches the wall the controller will very slightly vibrate from it or you canlisten for the Prince to touch the wall. When you feel that or hear that youneed to push the Jump (X) button again.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.

Q. I just beat the game but after the credits my screen goes black why isthat?

A. Did you turn off the Tutorials? If you did that is why the code after thecredits doesn't appear.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.

Q. Do I have to play the previous 2 games in the series to play this one?

A. The story for each game is connected and if you don't mind not knowingwhat happened in the previous games then get this. We would recommend thoughthat you play the other two games to get the full series experience. If youdo play the other two games you may want to use our walkthroughs for thosegames to help you avoid any potential major glitches you may run into.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

4.

Q. Is there only one ending?

A. Yes, there is only one ending for this game.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

5.

Q. Can I get an extra Scene, alternate ending battle or alternate ending bycollecting all Life Upgrades because another guide says I do?

A. If you see a guide that says this it is only spreading rumors that are nottrue. We can tell you for a FACT that the rumor about getting an alternateending or scene with Life Upgrades is false. We know this because we havebeaten the game a few times with and without getting Life Upgrades and westill got the exact same ending scenes, exact same ending battles, exact sameareas and ending movie.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

6.

Q. If I liked God of War would I like this game?

A. God of War and this game only have a similar looking weapon in common. The

reason you should get this game is if you liked or played either of the othertwo games in this trilogy series (Sands of Time or Warrior Within) andenjoyed either of them. If you have not played either of the previous gamesI would recommend getting one or both of them first before getting this one.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

7.

Q. Is this the end of Prince of Persia?

A. This is only the end of the Sands of TIme Story.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

8.

Q. Will there be another Prince of Persia Game?

A. Probably, we will just have to wait and see.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

9.

Q. Does Final Version mean you won't be updating the guide anymore?

A. Final version for us only means we have no plans in updating the guide anyfurther. If you find an error or some new information that you think shouldbe added you are welcome to send it and if we feel it is worth adding we willupdate it.
