Objective 7: Return To The Throne Room (Past)
1. Go down this hallway and around the corner to the right. Wall run along
the wall to your right and jump to the ledge on your left at the end of the
wall run. Go to your right and wall run along the wall to your left. Jump to
the ledge on your right near the end of the wall run. Hang off the edge of
the ledge to your left and shimmy to the Prince's left. Climb up onto the
beam you come to and then jump to the beam near you from the far left side of
the beam you are standing on. Walk along this beam to the right and then
jump to the next beam you can see in the distance. Follow this beam and fight
or avoid the minions you come to. Look up and left you should see a ladder
here. Wall run up that wall to grab the ladder and climb all the way up. Jump
to the ladder on your right (behind the Prince) and climb all the way up.
Jump the gap in the wall to your left (behind the Prince) and then shimmy
to the Prince's right all the way. Climb up and go through the doorway here.
Scene
2. Use the fountain to your right to heal/save and then go down this
corridor behind you (if you are facing the fountain). Fight or avoid the
minion at the end of the corridor and then follow the corridor to your right.
Go out of the doorway on your right and walk along the beam here. Follow
along the beam that goes to the left and then follow the beam that goes to
the right after dealing with the minion (if you forget how to deal with them
jump over their attack and then slash them). Once you reach the ledge follow
the beam to your right and then jump to the beam straight ahead. Go straight
to the ledge in front of you and then wall run along the wall to the left to
reach the next ledge (slash the minion that comes running at you on the wall.
Now wall run along the wall to your left and you should land on a small
square ledge. Jump to the curtain and slide down it. When you reach the
bottom of the curtain jump to the curtain to your right (behind the Prince).
Scene (Your new sword? or maybe not)
3. Boss Chase: "Dahaka Chase #9"
Bright eyes is back and madder then ever. Quickly run straight and then down
some stairs to the left. Turn to your right at the bottom of the stairs and
wall run along the wall on your left to get across the gap. Continue forward
and avoid the barrels (run around them don't even bother breaking them). Go
down the stairs to the Prince's right (your left) and turn left. Wall run
along the wall on your right and when you land on the ledge quickly go into
the doorway of water.
4. Use the fountain here to heal/save your game and then use the buttons to
Activate the Sand Portal before using it.

Scene
You now have the Wind Of Fate Attack
5. Leave this room through the doorway of water and wall run along the wall
to your left at the correct time (when the spinning poles are going away from
the ledge) to get by the spinning poles. Go up the stairs to your right and
roll past the blade trap at the top of the stairs. Go up the stairs to the
left and make your way by the saw blades. When you reach the top of the
stairs you have three options here (These options depend on the timing of
your jump and the position of the spinning pole at the time you jump. I
recommend using C I just thought I would throw in the two anyways just
incase):
A. Jump to the wall pounder when the spinning pole is going away from it and
hang from the side of it closest to the ledge you just jumped from. When the
pole goes past you quickly climb up and wall run along the wall to the right
to get across the gap.
B. Jump to the wall pounder when the spinning pole is going away from it and
then hang from the side of it that is farthest away from the ledge you jumped
from. While hanging jump to the ledge behind the prince and climb up.
C. Jump to the wall pounder when the spinning pole is going away from it and
after the pole goes over you quickly climb up and jump to the ledge up ahead.
6. Go up the stairs to your left and avoid the saw blades at the top of the
stairs by going over to the open area on your left. Look to your right and
you should see a few moving poles. Make your way past them when the saw
blades are not in the way and when the left most spinning pole is going to
the left. Go up the stairs and push the button you can see on the stairs.
7. Go into the doorway it opened and run over to the sword.
Scene
You now have the "Scorpion Sword"
8. Fight the minions that show up and then go into the doorway that opens up
on the other side of the room from where you entered. Go to the left and
make your way past the fast moving spinning pole. Turn to your right and
avoid another spinning pole. Turn to your right at the corner and you will
see a cracked wall in front of you. Use your new sword to break it down
(stand in front of it and hold Square). Go into this room and up the stairs
on the far side. Turn the handle here clockwise until it clanks into place.
Fight all the new minions that show up. Once you have cleared them all go
into one of the little room near the doorway you came in to smash open a
chest and unlock Artwork #34. Go into the doorway that is on the other side
of the handle from the stairs to find a metal block pull/push the block onto
the button that is in this room.
9. Go into the door that it opens up to the right of the room with the chest.
Jump to the ladder ahead and slide down it. Fight the minions here (I usually
just through them in the path of the sword blades trap). Make your way past
the sword blade trap just roll past them when they are coming towards you is
usually the easiest way to get by them. Go to the right and avoid a blade
trap. To your left you will need to avoid blade traps and saw blades. Go up
to the cracked wall on your left and break through it like you did the
previous one (Holding square when near it). Turn the handle in this room you
find clockwise and use the button to the left of it to help you kill the
minions that come to attack you. When the minions are gone go into the
farthest room from the doorway you came in that they came out of and wall run
up the wall with the button. Use slow time and quickly go to the door that is
now open near the handle you used before it closes. Fight the minions in this
room (I recommend fighting these minions and filling your tanks up with their
sand because you will need your sand tanks very soon.) and then go into the
room on the right that they came out of to find a chest. Smash open the chest
to unlock Artwork #35. Leave this little room and go to the handle inside the
hallway to the right. Turn this handle clockwise until it clanks into place.
Scene
10. Go over to the fountain and use it to heal/save your game. Turn to your
left and wall run along the wall to the right. Jump to the wall on your left
and do a upwards wall jump from wall to wall until you reach a ledge. Jump
to the wall to your left and continue the upwards wall jump to a ledge above.
11. Run towards the enter of this room. If you are wondering why you needed
the sand tanks all you need to do is turn the camera while you are running
towards the center of the room and you will know why.
12. Boss Battle "Golem/Brute"
Use the same strategy as you have with previous golems the only difference
here is the fact he has five times the amount of health. You will also not
want to use slow down time when slashing the back of his legs because that
will be wasting the sand tank that you could use for the more important job
of slashing the back of his head. Slash the back of his legs and when he
collapses to his knee jump on to his back. Slow down time and start slashing
away at him. If you need a bit more sand you can find it in the corner to the
right of where you entered. If you see him try to grab you push in the
opposite direction of the arm he is using to grab you to get onto the
opposite arm/shoulder he is trying to grab you with. If you can keep dodging
his arm that he tries to grab you with you can beat him with no problem. Just
keep slashing at his head until you defeat him. It seems if you don't hit him
for a bit he seems to start regenerating health which basically means try to
keep hitting him when you can to stop him from restoring his health. keep
doing these various things until he is defeated.
Scene
13. Go into the room he came out of and you should see along the wall to the
Prince's left a ladder on the wall (it is a little hard to see). Wall run up
the wall to Climb up the ladder and jump to the ledge behind the Prince once
you reach the top of the ladder. Smash open the chest here to Unlock Artwork
#36. Wall run up the wall with the button on it and go into the next room.
Fight the minions in this room (just throw them into the hole if you don't
want to fight them). Once you have taken care of them go back to the door you
came in from and face the Prince's back to it. Go along the walkway to your
right and you should see a doorway with wooden beams in front of it. Smash
through those boards (hold Square when you are standing in front of them) and
you should see a switch on the wall in the back of this room. Before you use
that button face the Prince's back to the room with the button. In the
distance to your right in the corner is a cracked wall go over to that
cracked wall and smash through it. You should see a gate in the back of this
room. Go back to the button and wall run up the wall to use it. Slow down
time and quickly run into the gate in the back of the other room you just
opened quickly before the gate closes.
14. Turn to your left and go down this hallway. Avoid the spinning poles on
the stairs to the right (roll past them at the correct time and from the
correct distance). Head to your left at the top of the stairs and roll past
the sword trap and then avoid the spinning poles when they are heading to the
left (to get into the doorway on the right) all while avoiding the spiked
floor you are running on. Turn to your left and roll under the sword trap
when the spinning poles on the left start going away from you. Quickly go to
the gap to the left of the spinning poles and then make your way past the
spinning poles on the stairs here to your right (after you get between the
ones at the bottom of the stairs). Once you reach the top of the stairs head
to your left where the red symbol on the wall is at.
Scene
You now have Life Upgrade #7.
15. Head back the way you came and use the button near the gate to open it
again and leave through it. When you get out of this little room go into the
doorway that is coming up on your left. Turn to the left and wall run up the
middle of the wall in front of you. Jump at the peak of the wall run to jump
to a beam. Climb up onto that beam and jump to the narrow ledge on the wall.
Jump from this narrow ledge to a beam behind the Prince. Jump to the narrow
ledge above the large doorway and then jump to the beam behind the Prince.
Jump or walk over to the ledge and use the fountain you find here to
heal/save your game.
16. Face the Prince's back to the fountain and wall run up the wall in front
of you (run up the right side of it to get into position faster for the next
jump if you want). Jump to the beam at the peak of your wall run and walk to
the right along this beam. Jump to the wall and then jump from the wall to
the beam above you. Jump to the beam you can see in the distance and then
walk along the beam to the right. Jump to the wall and then jump from the
wall to the beam above you. Go up the stairs here and fight or avoid the
minions at the top of the stairs.

Scene
18. Climb over the table up ahead and Fight the minions here. Once you have
done that find the handle in the room/alcove on the far side of this room
(not the one near the table you climbed over to get here) and turn the handle
counter-clockwise.
Scene
19. Leave this alcove and go to your left. Fight the minions here and then
go into the doorway they were guarding. You will see a wall switch here on

Go into the door that is closing on your right. Go up the ladder here to your
right and fight off the minions here or avoid them up to you (I usually throw
them off the ledge unless I need to fill up my sand tanks). Go to he left to
find a chest to smash open and unlock Artwork #37. Go back towards the ladder
and go into the door just past where the ladder is on your right.
20. Fight off another minion when you get to the balcony. Follow the walkway
to the right and then to the left until you reach a room with bookcases and
two minions. Fight the minions here and then pull the (2) bookcases out on
the left near the pots (if you are facing your back to the doorway you came
in that is). Do a upwards wall jump between these book case and climb up onto
the bookcase on the right. If you climb up on the left one just jump over to
the right one. Wall run along the wall here to grab a pole. Face yourself
back towards the bookcase you came from and swing/jump to the beam above to
the left. Jump to the next beam up ahead and walk along it to the Prince's
left. Walk all the way out to the end of it and then jump to the pole to your

wall drop down onto a rock platform. Drop down from the rock platform and go
over to the door in this area to smash open a chest to unlock Artwork #38.
Go out of the big hole in the wall and sidestep along the narrow ledge to the
Prince's left. Climb up onto the narrow ledge above you and then jump to the
narrow ledge that surrounds the top of the balcony you were on earlier. Walk
along this narrow ledge to the right and take care of the minion here. Walk
farther along this narrow ledge until you are near the narrow ledge of the
balcony across from you. Jump to that balcony and walk along that narrow
ledge to the right. Once you are near the wall jump to the narrow ledge you
see just below the gap on the upper part of the wall. Drop down to the narrow
ledge below you and then hang from it. Shimmy to the Prince's right all the
way and pull yourself up when you get near the wall. Climb up to the narrow

moving spinning pole to get by it. Quickly make your way past the saw blades
and spinning poles at the bottom of the stairs. Turn to your right and you
will need to do a mini wall run on the wall to the left to get over the
spinning pole and drop off the wall before reaching the upper spinning pole.

24. You are now back at a familiar place. Walk out onto the walkway up ahead
and climb up onto the platform here (Skip down to step 25 if you don't need
or want to get the special weapon and just want to continue on with the
game).
(Note: Before we continue on I'm going to take you on a little side trip to
get a special weapon. If you don't want the weapon skip down to Step number
25. We will be using Optional Objectives for those that want to find the
extra special weapons, Art, and upgrade #9 that they will need to make
special backtracking trips through areas they have been through already and
are not on the way to any of the objectives remaining in the game. We will
still have the ones that are along the way in the walkthrough just the extra
ones that are out of the way will have their own special objective section.)

AA. Head for the room with the big Fireplace at the top of the "Mechanical
Pit" area. Once you reach that room follow the hallway that you find in the
back of this room on the left after you fight or avoid the minions in here.
Go up the stairs you find here and then drop down into the pit. You should
see some blue light coming out of a hole in the wall to the Prince's left

A. Jump and climb up the ladder here in the middle of this platform. When
you reach the top jump and climb up onto the small beam to your right. Jump
to the beam in the distance and walk towards the structure here. Sidestep
all the way to the right and then climb up on the narrow ledge above you.

B. Fight the minions here and then Wall run up the wall with the button on
it. Wall run up the wall again before using slow down time and climb up onto
the block that the button raised. Wall run up the wall it is next to and use
the rope to wall run to the ledge to the left. Go across the bridge here
after fighting the minions and follow the walkway to the right. Wall run
along the wall to your left just right to make it past the gear spokes. Fight
the minions here and then head to the right along this wooden walkway. Time
your wall run along the wall to your left just right to avoid the gear spokes
and when you pass the gear jump to the pillar on your right. Face the
Prince's back to the pillar on the right and jump to it and then jump to the
pillar to the right of the pillar you are on. Jump onto the pillar to the
right of the one you are on and then jump to the ledge with the handle on it.
Turn the handle clockwise until it clanks into place. Wall run along the that
you can see the now moving platform is on in the distance. Ride this moving
platform up to the top and then Wall run back along the same wall. Jump to
the wall to your left and then jump back to your right. Keep doing this
upwards wall jump until you reach the ledge at the top. You should be in the
room with the big fireplace and if you happen co climb up on the wooden
walkway just jump to the room with the big fireplace. Go out the doorway on
the far right side of this room and wall run along the wall here to your
left. Slash the enemy on the wall while wall running and use the rope to
continue the wall run. Jump to the pool of water to your right at the end of
the wall run and make your way past the paddles here like you did before to
the right. Go all the way to the right until you are at the pool of water
near to where the paddles come out of the wall. Use the pole here above the
pool of water to swing/jump to the pole to your right. Swing/Jump from that
pole to the ledge on your right. Fight or avoid the minions here and head
into the door here. Quickly run past the spiked floor and spinning pole. Head
to the right and quickly go over another spiked floor. When you turn the
corner to the left you will need to time your wall run on the right wall to
avoid the saw blade on it. Use the rope to continue your wall run at the
correct time to avoid the next saw blade. Go around the corner to the left
avoiding the two spinning poles and wall pounder. Climb up on the next wall
pounder and do a very small wall run on the wall on your left to get over the
spinning pole (you could jump also but you run the risk of running into the
spinning pole up ahead). Avoid the next spinning pole and the rather slow
wall pounder. When you turn the corner to your right you will see two
spinning poles and a doorway of water. Time your wall run on either wall just
right to avoid the spinning poles and go into the doorway of water. Use the
Sand portal in here.

Scene
C. Leave through the doorway of water and time the wall run on either wall
to avoid the spinning pole nearest to you. When you go around the corner to
the left avoid the wall pounder and wall run along the wall to your left
(when you are just left of the stuck spinning pole). If you do this just
right you should avoid the spinning pole and the wall pounder after it.
Avoid the next wall pounder and spinning pole and head around the corner to
the right. Wall run along the wall on your left at the correct time to avoid
the saw blade and then jump from the rope to the ledge to your right. Hang
from this ledge and shimmy all the way to the Prince's left. Climb up onto
the ledge and continue down the hallway to the right. Follow this hallway
until you go out of a doorway. Fight or avoid the minions here and then hang
off the edge of this ledge in front of the Prince. Shimmy over until you are
above the curtain and then drop down to use the curtain to get down to
safety. Time the Wall run to the Prince's right just right to avoid the
spokes of the gear here and jump to the pillar on your right. Face the
Prince's back to the broken pillar near him and jump to it. Jump to the next
two pillars to your right and then jump to the ledge with the handle to the
Prince's left. Time your Wall run along the wall to the right just right and
land on the moving platform. When the platform goes all the way up wall run
back along the wall and wall jump upwards (same thing as you did when you did
it in the past). You will more then likely grab onto the doorway on the
right. You should now be in the room with the big fireplace. Follow the
hallway that you find in the back of this room on the left after you fight
or avoid the minions in here. Go up the stairs you find here and then drop
down into the pit. You should see some blue light coming out of a hole in the
wall to the Prince's left (or right if you dropped down from the up above).
Smash the wall (Push and Hold square when in front of the wall) right where
that blue light is at and go into the opening you made. Break the weapons
rack here to get the "Teddy Bear" weapon.
D. Go back to the Fireplace room and leave through the doorway to your left.
Wall run along the wall to the left and slash the minion on the wall. Use the
rope to continue your wall run and then jump to the pool of water on your
right. Jump over the railing to where the paddles are and roll under the one
to your right. Jump across the gap to the right and then roll under another
paddle. Jump across the gap to where the minion is on that the camera is
focusing on and then hang off the edge to the right. Drop down to the narrow
ledge below and then sidestep all the way to the Prince's right. Drop down to
the next narrow ledge and then drop down to the ledge with the m minion on it
below you. Jump across the gap here  to where the minion is on your left and
jump through the waterfall to your left to land on a ledge. Follow this ledge
to the left and go into the doorway to the right. Follow this hallway to the
right and then roll under the spinning poles on the stairs. Use the button at
the end of the hall to the right and go through the door it opens. Fight or
avoid the minions here and use the ladder to go up in the back of the room.
When you see the gap in the ceiling above you move to the open part jump to
the right to grab onto the ledge and climb up. Wall run up the wall to your
left to grab a narrow ledge and then climb up to the next narrow ledge. Jump
to the ledge that is on the center spinning pillar when it is facing you.
Ride this ledge until it is facing to the right and then jump to the narrow
ledge to your right. Climb up onto the higher narrow ledge and then jump to
the ledge on the center moving pillar when it is facing you. Jump to the
narrow ledge above you on this center moving pillar and shimmy left or right
until you get to a part of this ledge that doesn't have a wall. Climb up onto
it and hang on to the ledge above. Jump to the ledge behind the Prince and
then wall run up the wall on the right. Climb up onto this narrow ledge and
then hang from the narrow ledge above you. Jump to the narrow ledge on the
spinning pole when it is facing you and then jump to the narrow ledge on the
left when you are near it. Hang from the gap below the button and jump to the
higher narrow ledge on the moving pillar. Here is the tricky part you need to
jump to the button when you are facing it and then quickly jump back to the
moving pillar before jumping to the gate that opened on the right. Go up the
stairs to your left and get over the rubble here. Jump out of the hole to
your right and land on the ledge across the gap.

E. Climb up the rock ledge to the Prince's left and wall run up the small
walls on the sides of the wall near you. Jump from one wall to the other
doing the upwards wall jump until you reach the top. Wall run up the wall to
the right of the walls you just wall jumped up. From this ledge jump to the
center rock platform and then jump to the narrow ledge that you can see on
the wall with the tree coming out of the wall. Climb up to the top of the
narrow ledges to the ledge above and then wall run along the wall to the
left and you should end up on another ledge. Wall run again to the left and
you should grab on to a ladder. Climb up the ladder and fight or avoid the
minions here. Go up the stairs to the Prince's left and then hang off the
railing of the balcony (clear the pots away before you can do that). Shimmy
to the Prince's left all the way and then drop down to grab the gap below.
Shimmy all the way to the Prince's left and then jump to the ledge to
your left. There is a ladder to climb down just to the right of where you
landed. Climb down this ladder and move left or right to get onto the back
side of the ladder. Jump to the beam when the swing pendulum isn't in the
way and then jump to the doorway. Time your Wall run along the wall to your
right just right to avoid the saw blades and then use the rope to continue
your wall run. (use slow down time if you need help getting by the saw
blades). At the end of your wall run jump to the narrow ledge on your left
and then climb up to the ledge above you. Wall run along the wall the camera
is focusing on and at the end of your wall run you will drop down to a ledge.
Go down the ladder here and when you reach the bottom look to the Prince's
left to see a ledge you will need to wall run up to get to it. Drop down and
fight or avoid the minions here. Wall run up the wall to the ledge I
mentioned and from that ledge jump up to the gap in the wall on your right.

that one. Face the Prince's back to the lower rock ledge near it and jump to
it. Run up the wall to your right to get up onto the higher ledge. Wall run
along the wall to the Prince's left and jump to the balcony you can see in
the distance to the right. Once you are on the balcony watch out for the
minion that will more then likely charge at you. Go down the hallway he was
guarding and avoid the spinning pole to your left while jumping across the
gap. Avoid the next spinning pole and jump across the next gap. Go down the
ladder you find here and drop down at the bottom of it. Time your wall run
over this next gap using either wall to avoid being hit by the spinning poles
going up and down over the center of the gap. Get onto the ladder that you
find and you will see some spinning poles here. Slide down the ladder by
holding down at the correct time to avoid being hit by them. When you reach
the bottom of the ladder jump towards the wall directly behind you. You
should land on a narrow ledge here. Sidestep right and when you reach the
middle of the narrow ledge on your right jump to the ladder behind you (to
your left). Go down this ladder to the bottom and Fight or avoid the minions
here.

B. Make your way past the traps here in this hallway and go out of the
doorway at the end of this hallway.
C. Fight or avoid the minions here and you should see on the far side of this
room a pole over a platform on the right along this walkway you are on. Swing
on the pole towards the pole that is higher up to your left. Jump to that
pole when the Prince is swinging towards it and then shimmy to your right

the balcony on the left. Jump up onto that pole and swing towards the pole to
your left. Jump to that pole and then jump to the wall to your left. Jump off
the wall to grab the beam to your right. Climb up onto the beam and jump to
the balcony on your right. Jump over and hang on the railing on the right
side of this balcony and the camera view should change. Jump to the beam on
your left. Follow this beam around to another balcony and jump to that
balcony. Hang off the right side of the balcony here and jump to the curtain
to your right. Before you reach the bottom of the curtain quickly jump to
your left to another balcony. Walk along the beam that the minion was on when
you were here the first time and cross over to the next balcony. When you
reach the next balcony you will see a beam to your right. Jump up to grab it
and climb up onto it. Jump to the beam to your left and then climb up onto
that one. Jump off the wall to your left and then you should grab the higher
up beam to your right. Climb up onto that beam and jump to the balcony to

block behind it. Smash open the gate and Go inside this little room. Smash
open the chest here to unlock Artwork #40. Push/Pull the block out of this
little room and push it against the wall (between the two holes of candles
that you see on the wall). Wall run up the wall and at the peak of the wall
run jump. Jump off the wall you jumped to and you will grab onto or land on a
ledge here to grab a ledge (you basically need to use an upward wall up to
get up here. Wall run up the wall on the left to push a button and slow down
time to quickly go through the door that is slowly closing near you.
D. Make your way past the spinning poles to your right and then when you turn
the corner to the left you will see two poles going up and down. You need to
jump the gap at just the right time that you avoid both poles (good luck with
that). I recommend slowing down time to get by them easier. Get past the
blade trap up ahead and then go to your left avoiding the spinning pole that
is going up and down. Turn to your right and time it just right to run
between the two spinning poles on the sides and then around the center one.
Roll past the blade trap up ahead and roll past the spinning pole to
your left. Roll past the blade trap here and go down to the red symbol on the
wall.
Scene
You now have Life Upgrade #9 (Your life bar should make two complete rows of
health (It should look similar to a horseshoe or 2 almost completed circles)
if you have all of them).
E. Head back the way you came and climb up on that little ledge near the
door. Wall run up the wall of the doorway and climb over the wall to get onto
the other side of the doorway. Go straight and drop down to the block you got
up here with. Hang off the railing of the balcony to the Prince's right and
you need to jump to the beam that leads to the pole switch. When you are
standing on the small beam that is facing the curtain jump to the curtain and
instead of going into the door in front of you go through the door behind the
Prince (the door you entered this area from).
F. Make your way back past the traps here and climb up the ladder at the end
of the hallway. Jump to the narrow ledge behind the Prince at the top of the
ladder and sidestep to the Prince's left around the corner. Jump to the
ladder behind the Prince and climb up the ladder making sure to time it right
to avoid the spinning poles above you (use the camera to look where the poles
are at before going to far up the ladder). Time your wall run over this gap
in front of you at the top of the ladder using either wall to avoid being hit
by the spinning poles going up and down over the center of the gap. Jump or
Wall run up the wall to the Prince's right to grab the ladder here and climb
up it. Jump across the gaps in front of you at the top of the ladder being
sure to avoid the spinning poles and go down the hallway around the corner to
