Essential Tips and Tricks

While Prince of Persia got it's start with side-scrolling adventures, it's been a long time since the series has limited its action from left to right. As a Metroidvania action adventure, the rules are very different than what fans of the series are used to. With that in mind, we've compiled a list of expert tips to help acclimate you to this latest adventure in the doomed citadel on Mount Qaf.
One of the smartest innovations that Lost Crown brings to the Metroidvania genre is the addition of memory tokens. Here’s how they work: Whenever you come across a room that has an obvious path forward, but you don’t have the means to reach a platform, or open a certain type of door, or clear some sort of obstacle, you can press down on the D-Pad to take a screenshot, which will then drop a memory token on the map at whatever spot you’re currently standing at.
This is super useful for whenever you’re either lost, or looking to backtrack to old areas after getting a new Time Power. All you have to do is check the map for your Memory Tokens, and you can quickly see the screenshot you took, which will tell you at a glance if you’re now able to traverse through an area that you were previously blocked in. Just also remember to remove your tokens after you finish using them, as they are a limited resource.
Amulets are very important when it comes to keeping Sargon’s strength matched with the increased difficulty of enemies as you get deeper into the game. Equip whatever amulets you want, as most all useful in their own ways, but just make sure that you remember what Amulets you have equipped and make sure that you’re actually making use of them.
The Horned Viper Amulet is super useful when you’re traversing the depths, but if you’re not dealing with any enemies that can poison you, it's wasting a slot. If you don’t do many air combos, you probably don’t want to equip the amulet that increases your aerial damage.
Most Amulets provide passive buffs, but some require you to actively think about them, like Blade Dancer, which adds an extra hit to the end of your melee combo, if you time another button press right after the last hit of a combo lands. So make sure you’re actually making use of those moves if you have those amulets equipped.
Here's some early game Amulet combos to try:
•Rukhsana's Gift + Shield of Mithra + Gleaming Lion - If you consider yourself a master of blocking incoming attacks, use these three amulets in tandem to increase your health, attack, and Athra buildup each time you perform a successful parry!
•Blessing + Arslan's Glory + Indomitable Spirit + Dragon King - With these, you can get a health boost that increases your damage both at full and low health, and will have a free escape from a killing blow while living on the edge at low health. Just remember to revisit Wak-Wak Trees to replenish the amulet effects.
You can launch many enemies into the air for an air combo by pressing up and the melee attack button at the same time. If you hold down the attack button, you’ll follow the enemy into the air for an easy air combo. Get into the habit of doing this as often as you can, as you’re harder to hit when you’re in the air, and you also are able land more hits with an air combo than you can with just your regular grounded three hit combo.
While in the air, you can press up and melee attack again to launch them up a second time, or you can press down and attack to spike them downwards. This can be very useful for knocking an enemy off a platform, taking them out of the fight instantly. You can also hold down and attack while in the air for a very damaging slam attack that hits both sides on impact.
Lost Crown has two main defensive techniques: Parrying and Dodging. Of the two, Dodging is generally the safer method, as the timing window is far less strict, and it works on almost every type of attack, even glowing red strikes. The two main downsides to dodging though is that you don’t gain any Athra Meter when you use them, and usually the amount of punishment you’re able to deliver to an enemy after a successful dodge is less than it would be compared to if you had parried the attack instead.
Parries on the other hand are very rewarding when you land them – They reflect projectiles, cause enemies to recoil, making them vulnerable to follow ups; add a substantial amount of Athra Meter, and if you’re able to parry special yellow flashing attacks, they’ll even cause special execution animations on regular enemies, or deal substantial damage to bosses. But parries have three substantial drawbacks, of which kind of build on each other. First, the default timing window can be pretty tight (though you can alter this in the accessibility settings). Second, you do mistime a parry, you take extra damage. And third, if you get baited into trying to parry an unblockable red glowing attack, you can kiss a large portion of your life bar good-bye.
When you first reach Mount Qaf, there are a couple things you’ll want to make sure to do before you get too deep into the game. On your first return trip to Haven from the Hyrcanian Forest, make sure you visit Kaheva, not just to upgrade your weapon, but also to get her sidequest.
The reward is an excellent Amulet called the Shield of Mithra that will serve you well throughout the game.
Haven is your main hub throughout the game, and as such, it should be a frequent stop whenever you finish up a part of the main quest, gain a new Time Power, or simply when you have a large collection of Time Crystals to spend on upgrades. Make sure to make regular stops at Kaheva to keep your weapons upgraded and to upgrade the amulets that you’re actually using, get health upgrades from The Mage, hints on where to go next from Fatiba, and check in with Artaban to see if he has any new combat challenges for you that utilize any of the new abilities you’ve picked up.
Doing this is also very important to making sure that Sargon’s own strength keeps on par with the increased difficulty of enemies and bosses as the game goes on. Keep an eye on the amount of Azure Damascus Ingots your finding to know when to try upgrading the power of your sword and bow.
As you explore through Mount Qaf, you’ll no doubt find Prophecy Jars. Every five you find adds to a mural in the Lower City, and every time you fill in a piece of the mural, you are rewarded with either a Soma Tree Petal, an Ingot, or a bunch of Time Crystals, so it’s always worth making a trip back whenever you see an exclamation mark above the si...
Athra Surges are Sargon’s strongest attacks that can only be used once he’s filled up a meter at the bottom left of the screen by either dealing damage, or parrying attacks. You’ll unlock a total of 10 Athra Surges over the course of the game, but you can only equip two at a time. Some require only one stock of the Athra Gauge, others take two, and much later on, you’ll come across a few very powerful techniques that require three. If you’re struggling in a boss fight, you might want to consider changing up which Athra Surges you have equipped.
Generally, it's a good idea to equip two level 1 surges early on, so you can do two big attacks with two bars instead of just one, on top of the fact that you can also use the invulnerability of an Athra Surge as a way to defend against attacks that are otherwise very hard to avoid. That said, there’s some great utility in the higher level Athra Surges, like one that helps you recover life, and another that grants a massive damage buff to your attacks. Experiment and find a loadout that suits your own playstyle.
Be careful about just mashing the attack button on enemies. The third and final hit of your melee combo is committal, which means, you cannot cancel it with a parry or dodge. One way to keep your aggression going without committing to that big hit is by using your sweep attack, which is done by holding down and pressing the melee attack button.
So for example, you could do: attack, attack, sweep, attack, attack, launcher (hold), attack, attack, down attack (hold). This is a pretty powerful combo that should be able to take out most enemies in one go.
