- Prince of Persia Hints/Solve
-
-
-
- These are some basic techniques for playing the game.
-
- o When jumping, ALWAYS hold down the button. You will never know when
- you shall slip or fall short of the jump. Also, make yourself as
- close as possible to an edge before you jump so you can get maximum
- distance.
-
- o When fighting, the most effective way is to use the standard
- block-and-hit technique. To do this, wait till the opponent strikes,
- block by pressing up, then immediately press the button and the
- character strike and get a better chance of hitting the opponent.
-
- o Inspect everyroom for secret passages. There are many in this game
- and you will not be able to finish it without finding them. To find
- them, jump up and down to look for any floor passages. Jump up and
- hit the ceiling to look for any ceiling passages.
-
- o Doors don't stay open forever. Once you step on a step-block, the
- doors will start to close. . . that is unless something is on the
- step-block.
-
- o Learn to distinguish step-blocks from the floor.
-
- o After you complete each level (after Level 2), save the game by
- pressing Control-G. When you die, restart by pressing Control-R
- and then press Control-L to resume your game. This will allow you
- to save a lot of time considering that you WILL die.
-
- o Don't be afraid to explore. In order to win the game, you must
- explore every detail of the game and not miss anything on any level.

-
- Hints Note - * means that there is an energy expander on that level.
-
-
- Level 1
-
- Your first level is very easy. Get the sword, which is to the left from where
- you start and then go to the exit which just to the right of where you start.
- Practice your sword techniques on the guard. Remember to watch for unstable
- floors.
-
- Level 2 *
-
- Straightforward. Watch out for floor spikes. Beware of the blue potion which
- will DECREASE your life count. There is an energy expander here so don't
- forget to get it.
-
- Level 3 *
-
- This will be one of the toughest levels. From where you start, go to the right
- and climb to the top using the center segment. Now, you must do a jump of
- faith to the right. You will find that there is a floor when you land. You
- will also discover a step-block which will open the gate far to the left.
- There is also a energy expander in the area to the right. When you are ready,
- jump on the step-block and BURN RUBBER to the left! You will have little time
- before the door starts to close. Do a running jump over the large hole then
- one final jump near the door and hang on to that ledge. Hopefully, the door
- will almost be closed so you can pull yourself up. After that, it is very
- straightfoward. When you confront the "LIVE" skeleton, keep hitting until it
- falls off the ledge. Then climb down after it and keep hitting it until it
- falls to it's doom.
-
- Level 4 *
-
- Very straightforward. Watch out for loose floors and be sure to get the energy
- expander. When you confront the mirror, you will have to execute a run-jump
- through it. You will pass through but your shadow will come out the other side
- and will create a lot of trouble for you.
-
- Level 5 *
-
- Straightforward. There is an energy expander here but you will soon find out
- what will happen to it. You will have to experiment with this level before you
- can finish it.
-
- Level 6
-
- Straightforward. Beware of the master guard (he is fat) for he will slice you
- up if you are not good enough. At the end, your shadow will create mischeif
- once more. . .
-
- Level 7 *
-
- You start out falling so press the button to grab onto the ledge. Continue
- onto the right until you reach the ledge with a large whole with another ledge
- far to the right. Climb down the ledge, fall, and grab onto the ledge.
- Contine to the right. If you can't continue, go back and fall down another
- ledge for it will lead you to the same place. When you drink the blue potion,
- the room will turn purple and you will turn green. Run off to the left and you
- will float slowly down... DO NOT go into the exit because their is an energy
- expander just to the right.
-
- Level 8
-
- Straightforward but very hard. Be quick but be patient for a friend of the
- princess will help you.
-
- Level 9 *
-
- If you drink the blue potion, your vision will be distorted. To regain
- normalness, find another blue potion and drink it. Be sure to get the energy
- expander.
-
- Level 10
-
- You will have to knock out many ceiling and floor blocks.
-
- Level 11 *
-
- Very simple. Be sure to get the energy expander.
-
- Level 12
-
- The last level. I will not provide you hints because it would truly take the
- fun out of the game. You must use skill, agility, strength, courage, and trust
- to get past the level.
-
- Your probably stumped on the shadow. Remember, your shadow cannot harm you in
- anyway. Altough it might seem to, it is really the sword that is harming you.
- Just push the joystick up and you will put away your sword. Your shadow will
- mimic you of course. Walk into your shadow and you will become one person
- again. Your shadow is mearly a reflection of yourself and hence will try mimic
-
- you. Then you will need to do a jump of faith to the left. Yeah, I know there
-
- is nothing there, but trust me. You have to do a running jump and that's the
- only way to make it.
-
- Continue on and you will do battle with your final opponent, Jaffar. . .
- Jaffar is an awesome fighter. In order to beat him, you will need to use the
- block-strike technique. Also be careful of the fallen board behind you.
-
- Enter the final door and run to the princess.
