1. Leave through the doorway on the far right of this area (If you are facing
the water flowing out of the tower). You can drop down and use the fountain
if you want otherwise just wall run along the wall to the left to get to the
ledge in the distance. Turn to the right and wall run at the correct time to
avoid the saw blades. Go out of the doorway here and fight or avoid the
minions here. wall run along the wall to your left at the correct time to
avoid the saw blades. Go down the ladder and hang off the edge of the ledge
to your left. Shimmy to your left and drop down to the narrow ledge below
you. Side step left and drop down to the narrow ledge below. Sidestep all
the way left and go into the doorway you come to. Follow this hallway and
climb up the ladder that you see on your left. Jump to the wall lever on your
right and quickly make your way through the door that opens. Follow this
walkway out to the balcony area. Hang off the railing of the balcony and jump
to the pole. Swing/Jump to the next pole and then Swing/jump to the balcony.
Scene
2. Go to the far left of this balcony and look to your left. You should see
a wall switch in the distance. Wall run along the wall to the left and use
the rope to continue the wall run to the balcony that the wall switch is on.
Smash open the box here to unlock Artwork #18. Wall run up the wall and push
the wall switch. Quickly wall run back across the wall you got here with
and use the rope to get back to the walkway you were on. Quickly climb up on
the block that extended out of the wall to your left and wall run on the wall
above it. Jump from the wall to the pole at the peak of the wall run and
shimmy to the Prince's left until you go past the curve in the pole.
Swing/Jump to the white narrow ledge that you can see from here. Climb up
onto it and sidestep to the Prince's right all the way. Jump to the narrow
ledge to your right and then sidestep all the way to the Prince's right
again. Jump to the ledge to your right and side step all the way to the right
again. Drop down to the ledge below and slide down the ladder to the bottom.
Wall run along the wall to your left and use the rope to continue the wall
run. Jump to the right before you reach the curtain and smash open the chest
on this ledge here to unlock the Artwork #19 (could have it sooner but it was
on the way at this point). Jump to the curtain and slide down to a narrow
ledge. Drop down the area below and head down the hallway that the Water
maiden statue is facing (the hallway it showed you in the scene).
3. Use the fountain if you need to and drop into the hole up ahead (the one
you were going across with the retractable floors). Make your way through
this hole to the other side and wall run up the wall to grab the narrow
ledge. Climb up to the ledge above and drop down into the next hole. Go to
the other side of this hole and Wall run the wall to grab the narrow ledge.

4. Climb up to the ledge above and follow the hallway in front of you. When
you go around the corner to the left watch out for the blade traps. Avoid
them and continue down the hall to the right to where the large central
hallway room is at.
Scene
You now have the Lion Sword.
(Note: If you already did the Mechanical Tower ignore the next steps and skip
down to Chapter 15: "The Empress" to continue on)
5. Jump the gap in front of you and use the fountain if you need to.
5a. Once you are ready turn the Handle in the center of the room
counter-clockwise or clockwise twice (W on the Diagram).
6. Jump over to where the Fountain is and wall run along the wall to the
left (the wall that the weapon rack is or was if you destroyed it). At the
end of your wall run jump to the ledge on the left. You should see in the
distance some narrow ledges. Wall run along the wall to the Prince's right
and you should grab the narrow ledge at the end of your wall run. Pull
yourself up and sidestep left. Jump up and climb up onto the narrow ledge
above you. Sidestep to the left and then jump to the ledge behind the Prince.
Wall run up the wall in front of you and you should see the doorway of the
path leading to the mechanical/gear tower to your left. Before you jump to
that doorway jump to that ledge to the right of the doorway (the one closest
to you). Smash open the chest that you can see here on a little ledge in
front of you to unlock Artwork #20. Now you can either jump to the doorway
from here which I don't really recommend unless you are confident in your
ability to jump. I recommend just jumping to the ledge you came from and then
jump to where the doorway is at. Head into the doorway and wall run up the
wall in front of you to pull down a switch. Drop off of the switch and slow
down time. Quickly make your way past the blade traps and into the door that
is slowly closing. YOU don't have to slow down time if you are quick enough.
Once you have gone through that door you will need to wall run or jump across
the gap in front of you. Go to the wall at the far end of this hallway.
7. Wall run up the wall on the left or right it doesn't matter and jump from
wall to wall doing the upwards wall jump until you reach the ledge at the
top. Avoid the saw blades up ahead and climb up the ladder. Shimmy to the
left at the top of the ladder until the Prince's back is facing the ledge to
your right and then jump to it. Avoid the pounding wall traps that you find
at the start of this hallway.
