Pull yourself up and then jump up to grab the ledge above you. You'll soon reach the end of your current ledge. To make it across, move along the ledge and shimmy underneath the stone face. If you're hanging from a ledge, you can drop by hitting the Cancel button and if you are standing on a ledge, you can drop down and hang from the ledge with the Cancel button. You can pull yourself up onto a ledge with the Jump button. Jump up and you'll automatically grab onto the ledge.
Pay attention to how the ledge appears, because you'll need a sharp eye to find these throughout your adventure. Move to the far wall and you'll see a thin ledge. In the overall scheme of Prince of Persia, this isn't tricky at all, so if this one fools you, then you're in for a world of foolin' over the next 10 hours. Now comes your first somewhat tricky puzzle. Fighting with your back to a ball is not a bad idea, so long as you remember to block. There's a lot of space here, so you can move to either side of the area and spread out your enemies. Drink up at the well and head forward for another four-on-one battle. Make your way to the ladder and give it a climb. Run along the wall over the first gap (don't forget to hold down the Special Action button) and do the same to get over the second gap. Your next trouble spot comes when some pesky cannonballs blow up part of the path in front of you. Skip through the open door and make you way along the empty hall. Block front attacks, jump over enemies when you are surrounded, and swing early and often. Drop down the rubble steps (be against the wall to drop safely to the highest step) and take on the four baddies. Is this stuff filtered? Go through the doorway and you'll see a short cut-scene showing off the four enemies awaiting you on the level below. Okay, so it's water that you end up standing in, which makes it seem a little less than sanitary, but drinking it (use the Special Action button) heals you. In the next room, you'll find a pool of water. If you are surrounded, leap over one of your enemies and attack. Remember that there's only one attack button to worry about, but the direction you choose selects the enemy to attack. Climb it and get ready for another fight, though this one is against two enemies. You can check out some of the cool animations by jumping over your enemy and attacking or jumping against a wall and springing off for an attack. Block and let your enemy attack, then attack.

Be sure to read the Combat portion in the Basics section of this guide to learn how to master your enemy. This cherry-poppin' battle isn't tough by any means. How inconvenient! Whip out your sword smash the boxes, then move forward for your first taste of combat. Down the hall your path is blocked by some wooden crates. You can either jump the gap, or move alongside the wall and hold down the Special Action button to wall run to the other side. To the right you'll see a tattered wooden ledge. Hit the Action button to pull yourself up.Īs you move across the bridge, another cannonball strikes, destroying the path ahead. You'll run up the wall and grab the ledge. Hold down the Special Action button and move straight at the wall. This is one of the simpler wall running puzzles. You're faced with a ledge too high to jump to. Climb the rubble to the right and then jump the gap as instructed on-screen. None of the blasts seen throughout the prologue can actually hurt you, though they will open new pathways during your quest. Cannonballs slam into the ground ahead of you. Move forward from the start of the stage. With the on-screen assistance and a little help from your pals at IGN, this should be a stroll through the park. For every special action, you'll see text telling you what to do. As the battle ensues, you must make your way into the heart of the Maharajah's Palace to find the treasure secured within. Make no mistake, you are here as a warrior and you are here to rob this kingdom of one of its most valued treasures. Your tale begins with your entrance into another man's kingdom.
