Thanks for clicking on the FAQ. Welcome back to Persia, young Prince! I
will give an exact breakdown of how to finish the most daunting
platforming puzzles, how exactly to use the environment to utilize the
Quick/Speed Kill properly and of course, all the areas for all secret
Health Upgrades.
If you've played both the Sands Of Time and the Warrior Within games,
then everything I mention here shouldn't be difficult to figure out. I
strongly urge that you play the Two Thrones game first before resorting
to this guide. Only read my strategies of you are stuck or need extra
info on Quick/Speed Kills.
All right, enough from me, FIGHT!

--THE PRINCE
The original wise-cracking, fun-loving, talking-to-myself Prince from
the Sands Of Time returns! No more of this "I'm-so-goddamn-pissed-that-
I'm-gonna-look-like-Hugh-Jackman-and-say-BITCH-in-a-game!" attitude
from the Warrior Within. Finally, we get to hear what the Prince is
thinking...both of them.
--THE DARK PRINCE
Who is he? He's quite simply your better half. The Dark Prince pops in
occasionally when certain sequences involve complicated platforming.
Allergic to water for some reason. A little Dahaka infection, perhaps?
--THE VIZIER
The King Prick that set the wheels in motion in the Sands Of Time
returns for Round 2. Due to the Sands of Time never being released, the
Vizier technically never died and returns in this game to claim the
Sands back.
--KAILEENA
The Queen Bitch that set the wheels in motion for the Warrior Within is
back. Looking a lot different than her WW look, the queen is taken from
the Prince and sacrificed selfishly by the Vizier. Her death brings
about the Prince's darker side.
--FARAH
Yes, the bow-equipped pain in the ass from Sands of Time also returns
and still sports an attitude as sharp as Jessica Alba's No-Nudity
clause (ooh, I'm NASTY!).

___/_)    _|_)  \___/_)  ___/_)
Just like in the previous two games, the environment is important in
getting through the game. In this case, the environments can now be
used to the Prince's advantage to get the drop on his enemies.
Instead of fighting the bad guys head-to-head, the Prince can do one of
two things: use stealth or use the area around him. (More info in the
walkthrough.)
A couple of new additions have been added to the environment:
--WALL GAPS
The Prince can jump in between walls and stay there infinitely (similar
to the Split jump move from Splinter Cell). Move the analog stick down
to make him slide. From there, the Prince can either drop down and go
for a kill or try a Quick/Speed Kill
--WALL SHUTTERS**
When the Prince runs along VERY long walls, there will be wall shutters
that the Prince can jump from to reach another shutter or a balcony.
Press the R1 Button and then the X Button to get to farther areas (use
as many times as needed).
**NOTE: When controlling the Dark Prince, you are urged to use the
chain to reach another shutter. Run along the wall, jump, and then toss
the chain to swing farther.
--STAB SQUARES
Also new to the series are Stab Squares (as I like to call them). When
the Prince sees these squares on a wall, he can run up to them and then
stab them to hang on. From there, the Prince can either run along the
wall or jump higher. If you feel stuck in an area, look around to see
these squares.
--CURVED WALLS
Another new addition, the Prince can now run along curved walls. Later
in the game, the environment will get much trickier and the Prince will
easily get stuck. Look for curved walls and run along them so that the
Prince can get to his objective faster.
--BRONZE SLITS
These look like those coin insert things found in vending machines
(only big and Bronze). Run up to this Slit and then stab it down to
open a new door or ledge.
--SAND PLATES
Scattered throughout the game are Sand Plates that have a large beam of
light coming out of it. There are usually 3-4 guards surrounding the
plate that you need to eliminate in order to access it.
Accessing the Sand Plates grants the Prince newer powers or more Sand
Credits.
--SAND CREDITS
Sand Credits are obtained by finding them in hidden Golden Chests,
certain Sand Plates, and successful Quick/Speed Kills.
Everything else like poles, ledges, etc. are back and should be too
familiar for all PoP veterans.

The Prince encounters newer enemies in this game (with a few ones from
Warrior Within thrown in). Although there aren't many varieties as in
previous games, it doesn't mean they're easier to defeat. OR ARE THEY?
--ARCHER
--GUARDS
These guys aren't too difficult to defeat. When fighting them on ledges
or balconies, simply toss them off the ledge (you need to un-equip the
second weapon to toss them)
--FOREMAN
The Foreman is only seen around Sand Plate areas. He's usually guarded
by 3-4 guards and wears a black and red armor piece.
--SAND WRAITHS
--DEMON DOGS
--FEMALE GUARDS
Use lots of evasion and use the jump attacks.
--INVISIBLE GUARDS
--GREEN GOLLUMS
Use the same strategy as the guards for these guys.

\__ __|__ __| \    __| |  /

_/  _\_|    _|_/  _\\___|_|\_\
Similar to the God Of War game, when prompted the Prince can initiate
an attack from behind or above for a sort of stealth kill.
In most cases, the Prince can use the environment and sneak around an
enemy to get the drop on them. (I will go more in-depth on this feature
in the walkthrough)
When the screen starts to shimmer in cat-vision style, press the
Triangle Button to start the kill sequence (the enemy MUST be unaware
of your presence or the attack is canceled).
During the attack, the screen will turn gray for a split second and the
dagger the Prince is holding will shimmer. Press the SQUARE Button each
time you see the dagger shimmer to complete the kill sequence.
Some Quick kills have multiple dagger attacks (especially on bigger
enemies or multiple ones), so be on your guard when initiating the
attack or you will get thrown off.
Quick kills can be initiated from top ledges, chains, and wall gaps and
are better than melee combat in all ways.
++DARK PRINCE NOTE:
The Dark Prince uses Speed Kills. Unlike the Prince, there is no
shimmer on the screen to wait for to kill the enemy.
Initiate the kill sequence and when the Dark Prince grabs hold of the
enemy, bash the Triangle Button repeatedly to strangle them. Simple!
That's all you need to know for the Two Thrones. On to the walkthrough!

++AUTHOR'S NOTE: I encourage you to use Quick/Speed Kills rather than
melee combat. If you're stuck in an area with enemies and think there
is an alternative method for the Quick Kill, there probably is one.
This Walkthrough will map out EVERY Quick Kill opportunity, so read on!

The descent into madness begins. All over again.
--MISSION OBJECTIVE: FIND KAILEENA
Roll under the door and head left. Run up the large baskets and jump
from ledge to ledge. Use a wall run to reach the next area. From there,
run up the wall and shimmy on up to the top.
Drop down and use the ladder. Slide down and then head to the next
area. As you head down the way, look for the pole to grab onto. Jump
from pole to pole to the ledge up on top.
Head down the ledge and hop over the railing. Jump to the pole and then
turn around to jump to a ledge to shimmy.
Shimmy over and jump down. Now do a wall run all the way to the end and
then jump up and shimmy to the left. Jump over the ledge and to the
Water Fountain Save Point.

Head down the way and use the Landscape View. Take the ladder up and
head down to the nearby door.
--OBJECTIVE: LEARN THE QUICK KILL
After the Quick Kill lesson, use Landscape View again to see your
environment. See that pole on the left of the screen? Hop over the
ledge and slide down. Use a Quick Kill on the nearby Archer to kill
him. From there, use a wall run to the next ledge. Shimmy to the right
until you get to the end.
See that ladder? Jump from that ledge to reach that area. Take the
ladder down but wait for the enemy below to walk away. Use a Quick Kill
and then continue down the corner. Fight off the next guard (or don't)
and then use a wall run and jump. Shimmy up and onto the next area.
Climb up the ladder and turn left. Wall run to the curtain and slide
down. Fight off the three guards (or don't) then head into the shack
they emerged from. Climb up the ladder ad jump to the next ladder (turn
around) and head up. Run up the wall and jump to the ledge. Jump to the
ladder and head up to the next area.
Jump down and head for the door. There is a ledge next to the door so
jump up to it. Jump up and use the wall run to the next ledge. Start
the Quick kill on the Archer. Once he's dead, head for the ladder and
slide down.
--OBJECTIVE: USE AN ENVIRONMENT QUICK KILL
Here's your first chance to use the environment for a Quick Kill! After
sliding down the ladder, use First Person view to see ledges on top.
Run up to those ledges and jump from each one. When prompted, start the
Quick kill on the first guard. After that, sneak up on the Archer and
do the same to him. Jump over the ledge the Archer was guarding and
head for the ladder. Go up and over the ledge to find the Water
Fountain.

Continue on down and use a wall run and jump to the next ledge. Shimmy
on the ledge all the way to the right then climb up. Cross the beam to
the next ledge. Jump from the next beam to reach the next area.
Jump from the beam to the next one. Below will be two enemies. Jump
down from the top beam and initiate the Quick Kill for both fools.
Head for the corner and run up the wall and jump to the beam. Jump up
and cross the next beam to next area. Head down the way to the next
beam and jump to it. Climb up and then jump between the wall gaps and
slide down. Fight off the two baddies (or don't) and jump for the next
beam.
Jump from beam to beam and look for a Wall Gap. Jump to it and climb up
to the ledge. From there, make a LONG jump (do not use a wall run) to
the next beam and then jump to the next Wall Gap. Slide down and
initiate the Quick Kill on the guard below (turn around to initiate the
cat vision).
--OBJECTIVE: USE ENVIRONMENT FOR QUICK KILLS
Head up the stairs to the next area. Use Landscape View to see the
area. Across from the Prince is a large wooden scaffolding. Do you see
it? Slowly sneak to the ledge (but don't jump to it yet!) and the
pigeons nearby will distract the nearby guard. Stay hidden or the
pigeons will give you away!
Once the coast looks clear, jump to the ledge on that wooden
scaffolding and initiate the Quick Kill on the first guard. From there,
sneak up on the Archer and use a Quick Kill.
Now head up the ladder and jump to the railing but do not jump over
yet! There is a lone Archer roaming around. Either use a Quick Kill or
use combat to get him. Head for the corner and roll to the next area.
--OBJECTIVE: USE ENVIRONMENT FOR QUICK KILLS
Run up the wall to the top ledge. Use Landscape View to see a large
wooden beam above the baddies. Do you see it? Use a wall run and jump
and jump on the beam. Initiate the Quick Kill on both of them.
Once that's done, do a wall run to the beam and climb up. Jump over the
gap and head up the stairs to the blocked off corner.
From here, use a wall-to-wall jump to make it to the top. Jump from
ledge to ledge and shimmy down to the balcony. Continue crossing and
jumping beams to the next area.
Hop over the railing to another Quick Kill area.
--OBJECTIVE: USE ENVIRONMENT FOR A QUICK KILL
Jump over the railing and past to the next ledge. Use Landscape View to
see two guards on the bottom. The guard on the left will turn
occasionally, so watch him. When he turns around, jump down and
initiate the Quick Kill on both of them.
Now continue through and jump the beam to the ledge and shimmy to the
left side. Climb up the next beam and jump over. Jump the gap to the
next area. From there, do a wall run and jump to the beam on the left
to grab it. Jump on the wall to the left and hop to the higher beam.
Jump over the gap to the next area. Head for the Water Fountain.

This next part will be a little tricky. Jump over the railing and onto
the ledge. Across from you is the Palace Balcony with a guard.
Do a Wall Run (the guard will walk away while you do this) and jump to
the next railing but do not hop over yet.
--OBJECTIVE: USE ENVIRONMENT FOR QUICK KILLS
Use Landscape View to see a ledge just above the immobile guard. Hop
over and run up the nearby ledge next to the entrance and climb up.
Shimmy to the beam and wait for the Archer to leave. Initiate the Quick
Kill and then sneak to the nearby fence.
Use Landscape View again to see two Archers. One all the way in the
back and one nearby that moves left to right frequently.
When the nearby Archer looks away, scurry to the area next to him.
Climb over the table and run up the wall and jump to the beam. Cross
the beam and initiate the Quick Kill on both Archers.
--OBJECTIVE: LEARN HOW TO USE STAB SQUARES AND WALL SHUTTERS
Near the Archers is a large pedestal with two Stab Squares above it.
Follow the instructions indicated onscreen to learn about how to use
these two items.
Jump to the top balcony and then use a wall run and shutter jump to
reach the next area. Now step on the nearby switch to open the door and
continue through.
--OBJECTIVE: USE ENVIRONMENT FOR QUICK KILL
In the next area, Landscape View will confuse you here but follow these
instructions: use a Wall Run and stab the square. Drop down and jump
the gap to the other Stab Square.
Initiate the Quick Kill on the guard below. Jump on the second pillar
and jump to the beam across from you. Climb up and hop over the
railing. Use Landscape View to see an Archer facing forward. See that
long ledge on the right side of the screen?
Run up the wall to it and shimmy to the beam above the Archer. Jump to
the Wall Gap across the beam and slide down. Turn around. You know what
to do here.
--OBJECTIVE: USE ENVIRONMENT FOR QUICK KILLS
Now hop over the railing and jump to the beam. Initiate another Quick
Kill from above. Head for the door to see furniture blocking the way.
Break them but stay hidden! Once the alerted guard goes back to his
post, sneak in and run up the wall. Shimmy and hop behind him and use a
Quick Kill.
Look for Stab Squares above. Run up the wall and use the Squares. Use a
Wall Run and stab the next square. Wall run again to the next balcony.
Now use Landscape View to see an Archer across the way.
Use a Wall Run and shutter jump and initiate the Quick Kill on the
Archer. Now run up the wall next to the door and jump for the beam.
Jump to the next beam then jump straight up.
Shimmy over and jump to the next ledge. Use Landscape View to see two
guards. Hop over the railing and use the nearby Stab Square. Wall Run
and jump to the next ledge and cross the beam.
Jump over the Wall Gap and slide down and initiate the Quick Kill. For
the other guard, look up to see another beam. Run up the wall and jump
to it. Cross the beam (but don't jump!) and turn right to see some Stab
Squares. Jump to the one across you and then use a Wall run and stab.
Jump across the gap to the next beam and then jump to the Wall Gap and
slide down. Initiate the Quick Kill.
--OBJECTIVE: OPEN THE DOOR
Enter the next room and look for a Stab Square. Run up the wall and
stab it. Use a wall run and shimmy on the ledge all the way to the
right and climb up. Head for the corner and run up the wall to trigger
the opening of the door and then jump at the same time to reach the
beam above it. Now enter the room to find the Water Fountain.

Now it's death trap time! Use a Wall run and then roll out of the way
and head around the hall. Simply cross the sawblades when it's clear
and then run up the wall when the spikes rotate.
Hop over the ledge and use another wall run and jump to the next area
when the sawblades are clear. Wait for the spikes to rotate and then
run up the wall to the area above.
Pass the sawblades and head for the Rotating Handle and turn it
clockwise to open the trapdoor above. Just near the handle is a large
bronze slit on the wall. Run up to it and press the attack button to
initiate a secret step block. Quickly run up the step block and up to
the top room. Find the Water Fountain across from you and save.

--OBJECTIVE: USE ENVIRONMENT FOR QUICK KILLS
To the right of the Water Fountain is a Stab Square on the wall above.
Do you see it? Head for the ledge underneath it and use Landscape View
to see an Archer on the balcony. Run up the wall and stab it. Use a
Wall run and climb up the ledge. Use a wall run and shutter jump for a
Quick Kill (press the initiate button or the Quick Kill won't happen).
Now use another wall run to the next area. Run up the wall to the
higher ledge and use Landscape View. You'll see a Stab Square on the
left side of the screen, a shutter on the right, and a ledge to shimmy
underneath it.
Use a Wall Run and shutter jump to the nearby ledge. Jump and use the
stab square. Jump across the gap and shimmy onto the beam. Cross the
beam and then jump towards the Wall Gap and slide down. Initiate the
Quick Kill. Run up the wall and up the ledge. Shimmy to the right and
use the stab square.
Wall run and jump to the large pillar and WAIT! Move the camera to
watch the Archer on his patrol. When he turns around, move and then
jump to the pillar and then jump to the railing and hop over. Sneak up
to Archer and initiate the Quick Kill. See those stairs? DO NOT USE
THEM!
--OBJECTIVE: INITIATE A DOUBLE SPEED KILL
Look for another pillar across from the Archer. Hop over the railing
and jump to the pillar. Turn around and then jump to the Wall Gap
across the two guards and slide down. Initiate the kill and continue.
NEW POWER ACQUIRED: RECALL
After the cutscene, the Prince can once again Rewind time (if he
royally screws up something). Continue down the hall and activate the
switch at the end by running up at it to open the door.
Continue past the crumbling balcony. Jump across the first gap but do
NOT jump the second gap! Look for a Stab Square above and access it.
Use a Wall run and stab and then another wall run to the next ledge.
Wall run to the nearest curtain and slide down. Enter the room to find
the Water Fountain.

Head down the hall for some more spiked traps. Roll your way past them
to the end of the hall and run up the wall to activate the switch for
the door below.
Head down the stairs to a large room with six pillars. The floor will
crumble so keep going.
Access the nearest pillar and climb up. Jump to the next one and then
