Sand Fields 6
Fountain of Life 1
Description Make your first trip to the Fountain of Life. Meet up with
the mysterious girl. Make your way down a very high room.
<<>>
Enjoy the next vision. Remember, these visions show you some shots of
things to come, so watch closely and you might see some hints for the
upcoming section. Replenish your health at the fountain if you need to,
and then destroy all objects blocking the door. If you turn right you can
find a Sand Field. When you go left from the door, the camera will zoom
out, showing a pole above your head. Run up the gray wall behind the
pole, and then jump off to grab it. Turn around, and swing into the
opening in the gray wall. You'll now see a big hole in the wall to your
left. This is the entrance to the very first Fountain of Life. Enter it, and
walk through the corridor until you arrive in a strange area. Walk over the
bridge to the center. The Prince will see a fountain, and he'll take a sip.
Suddenly, you're back at the pit with the hole in the wall. The hole is now
gone, and your maximum health has increased. Wonderful. Get down safely to
the ground of the pit. First jump onto the higher blocks in the corner, you
should make it without taking damage.
You're now in another corridor. There's a gap in the center. First cross
the gap (by jumping or by a Wall-Run), and collect the Sand Field on the
other side. Now return to the pit, and head down into it. Watch your step!
Lower yourself on the highest blocks first. When you touch the ground, a
cut-scene will start. The Prince finally meets up with the girl. It seems
she's called Farah. She was taken prisoner in the palace of the Maharaja
you robbed in the first level. Oh, and did I mention she's hot? ^_^
Anyway, like all lame conversations this one is interrupted by some nasty
bugs. Farah flees, and you have to kill these Scarabs. They're not tough
at all, a couple of slices from your sword do the job. Also, you don't
need to finish them off with the Dagger of Time. Once they're all dead and
gone, replenish your health, and then walk down the corridor. You can turn
left to find another Sand Field. Enter the door on the right. Jump over the
first small gap, and then head right, outside. Here you'll see how some flying
creatures take away the Hourglass of Time. After the cut-scene, turn left, and
watch how almost all of the balcony collapses. Walk over the left wall to
cross the gap, and enter the building again.
Climb the small column here. Turn your back to the broken column hanging
from the ceiling, and jump to it. Jump from column to column. At the last
broken column, jump towards the wall. Don't attempt to jump directly to
the big column ahead, you won't make it. when you're on the small ledge,
run over the wall, towards the big, unbroken column ahead. Jump off to
grab this colossal column. Use its shadow to time your jump. Slide down,
and kill some Scarabs here. There's also another Sand Field to collect
here. Up ahead you'll see another broken column hanging from the ceiling.
Run over the wall towards it, and then jump off to it. Again, use the
shadow for timing. Get to the next ledge. Here, climb the pile of gray
rubble in the corner. The camera will show you a pole above your head.
Run up the (gray) wall behind you, and jump off to grab the pole. Swing
to the next one, and then to the ledge. Jump over the small gap to the
ledge with a Sand Field.
Climb in the column on this ledge, and then jump to the next broken column
that's hanging from the ceiling. Keep following the columns until you see a
ledge sticking out of the wall next to you. Jump onto it, and make your way
down to the ground via the ledges in the wall to your left. Kill two more
bugs. Now, on this corner, go to the wall on your left (seen from the
center of the room), and perform a Wall-Run on it. Grab the pole that's
sticking out of the wall, and use these poles to get to the other side.
Kill another two Scarabs. Now look to your left. You will see the top
of a giant column. Jump over the balustrade to grab this column, and
slide down to the ground. A lot of Sand Monsters attack. By now, you
should have one full Power Tank. You can use it to go into slow-motion
(tap [L1]), but it's much cooler to use these tanks to freeze enemies.
Just stab an enemy with the Dagger before it's down on the ground. It
will now freeze, and you can slice it in two with your sword. Awesome
effect, and very useful too. Beat the rest of the enemies too. There's
a fountain on one side of the room, and you can find a Sand Field too.
Also look for another save-point/Vortex.

1) Turn right after heading through the door blocked by some obstacles.
2) After the hole of the Fountain of Life, climb down to the next corridor and
then jump across the big gap in the floor to find it.
3) After the scene with Farah, walk down the corridor and turn left.
4) In the giant guest room, on the platform where you fight the first pair of
Scarabs.
5) In the giant guest room, after the first pair of Scarabs, just before some
pillar-jumping. On your path, so it's hard to miss.
6) At the bottom of the giant guest room.
<<>>
After the door with the obstacles in front of it, turn left and get onto
the rubble using the pole. When standing on the rubble, the camera will
show you a hole. Enter the hole and follow the corridor to the Fountain
of Life.
