2 INTRODUCTION
======================================================================
The Prince of Persia series has always been a favorite franchise of
mine I've played the console versions of the trilogy countless times
and still hold fond memories of them Prince of Persia: Rival Swords
is a PSP port of the concluding chapter of the series Like Ubisoft's
previous PSP Prince of Persia offering this game comes with additional
levels that are not found on the console versions of the game This
document is written with the purpose of providing a walkthrough for
these fun challenging and sometimes deviously painful-to-navigate
levels
To use this document you must be reasonable familiar with the basics
of the game I won't go through stuff like controls combat skills and
speed kills techniques If you're stuck on other areas not related to
the additional levels you may refer to any Prince of Persia: The Two
Thrones walkthrough on GameFAQscom for assistance
You may wonder where these new levels are found? Well they'll be
activated when you attempt to snag a sand gate The Prince will be
"sucked" into a new platforming environment whenever he tries to
enter those beam of lights shooting out from the ground Quite a neat
way to include the new puzzles I must say
======================================================================
======================================================================
3 THE FORTRESS [ RVSD01 ]
======================================================================
The first sand gate is found just after "The Fortress" save point
After you quick kill the two sand guardians activate the sand gate to
enter the first bonus level
----------------
THE WATER WHEELS
----------------
In front of you are some large water wheels Notice the horizontal
bars on these wheels? You need to use them to get to the other side
but their locations are somewhat awkward to get to Your immediate task
is therefore to align them properly
To begin look behind to find a statue of a mermaid It's standing
right in front of a block of wall To the left and right of this wall
you can find walls that you can use to do the multiple wall-jumps up to
the top
At the top there are two dials on the left and right Turn one first
and then jump to the next dial via the middle platform to turn the
other Once done the wheels will be turned in such a way that the
horizontal bars are now aligned
Jump back to the middle platform and drop down to one of the hands of
the statue Hang on the hand and drop back down to where you begin
You can now swing/ jump from bar to bar until you reach the other end
of the temple Be careful when you jump though as it's entirely
possible to misjudge the gap and fall to your death
----------------
THE DEADLY TRAPS
----------------
In front of you now should be a large empty room Don't enter first
Instead go to your left to find a dagger plate Activate it and a
scene will show as some traps are activated in the supposedly empty
room Beyond the traps are some flights of stairs
Wait for the first row to move to one side and then walk in its
opposite direction and then sneak past the rest of the traps in
similar fashion - you've got to do this quickly since this is a timed
event
Beyond the traps quickly wall run up the stairs step by step until
you reach the top
Your path is blocked by a large brown wall On the ground are three
buttons If you step on the wrong one you'll be hurt badly Step on
the left plate to remove the wall
Next wall plus three more buttons This time step on the right
button
One more wall and three more buttons again Step on the middle button
to finally see the ray of hope - the sand beam is right in front!
Proceed on the linear path towards the beam and you'll automatically
activate the sand gate for your reward - a new sand tank
------------
THE WAY BACK
------------
The walls begin to crumble now You need to get out of here fast
Ignore the two fountains-like thing nearby since you can't drink from
there nor save your game with them Instead go left to find a gap in
the wall Jump through this gap
Hang on this gap and jump towards the opposite platform You can now
do a wall run on the right wall before jumping to the left platform
ahead Time your jump right or you'll end up missing the boat
Jump past the trunk blocking your path on this platform and you can
wall run on the left wall this time At the end of the run jump to
the right platform
Now wall run on the right wall before jumping to the left ledge From
here you can jump to the opposite higher ledge and then walk to the
front of this ledge
From here jump to the tree branch in front You should now be able to
swing/ jump to the ledge ahead See the two narrows walls thing? Jump
towards it and slide all the way downwards
A dagger plate is screaming for you here Jump towards it and hang on
to it Now wall run on the right wall to reach a ledge
Drop down the ledge and you'd have return to where you begin Run
towards the circular platform to get out of this place
---------------------------------------------------- THE FORTRESS: END
======================================================================
======================================================================
4 THE LOWER CITY [ RVSD02 ]
======================================================================
This is one of the easier bonus levels available in the game The sand
gate near you won't work unless you kill all the creatures guarding it
Problem is they're all found on the other side of a locked door Your
job is to find a way to them eliminate them and return to activate
the portal
----------
THE CRATES
----------
There are two pile of crates around this area You need to climb on
top of the pile that is nearer to the L-shaped structure - if your
camera angle changes when you walk near the crates you're on the
right pile
When on top jump to the ledge on the wall Shimmy to the left to get
onto some sort of a roof/ platform
Wall run on the right wall until you can jump towards the top of the
L-shaped structure Shimmy left and you should now see a window to
the left of the screen Jump towards the window and climb through
------------------
THE TREASURE VAULT
------------------
Once in a scene will show you a room full of treasures plus three
sand guardians roaming around Drop down to the lower platform and
wall run on the right wall At the end of the run jump left to the
horizontal beam
Go right/ forward and walk to the end where you'll be on some
platforms Go left and then wall run on the right wall At the end
jump left to the horizontal bar
Swing/ jump from bar to bar until the next platform Ignore the window
ahead as it'll bring you back to the previous section Instead look
left of where you stand and you should find a wall with a ledge This
wall is situated somewhere in the middle of the room
Jump towards the ledge and shimmy left until you see two horizontal
beams one on top of the other You'll be on the top beam so drop
down to the lower beam Wait patiently until the head guardian (red)
looks away and drop down to double speed kill the other two morons
With the two out of the way sneak behind the red moron and speed kill
him
as well
------------
THE WAY BACK
------------
There's a box with some sand credits near the locked door if you want
Opposite the door is a wall with a button on it Wall run up to touch
it and the door will open Run through the door back to where you
begin You'll automatically activate the sand gate for the reward of
100 sand credits
-------------------------------------------------- THE LOWER CITY: END
======================================================================
======================================================================
5 THE BALCONIES [ RVSD03 ]
======================================================================
Some time after "The Balconies" save point you'll find a sand gate
leading to this area I don't really consider this a level though
since there's no puzzle to solve whatsoever
----------------
EYE OF THE STORM
----------------
To proceed simply walk forward get past the bridge and go up the
stairs to reach a fountain Drink from it to get one of the most
important sand powers in the game - The Eye of the Storm This helps
you to slow time
From here walk back to the starting point to get out of here
That's it!
--------------------------------------------------- THE BALCONIES: END
======================================================================
======================================================================
6 THE TEMPLE ROOFTOPS [ RVSD04 ]
======================================================================
I like this level It's pretty challenging but not to the extent of
frustrating
--------
THE SHIP
--------
You'll begin opposite the king's flagship Three morons are patrolling
on it Wait until all of them are not looking at your direction and
then jump to the T-shaped horizontal beam that is at the "two o'clock"
angle
Move along the beam to its front and then hop onto the beam above
Jump to the rounded platform in the middle of the ship and navigate
to the beam beyond it You should now be facing the upper deck of the
ship where a guard is When his back is turned against you drop to
the deck and speed kill him
Wait till both guards at the lower deck are not looking and then drop
down to speed kill them if you want
To save time however I'd recommend to simply drop down from the T-
shaped beam and dispose them with combat But seriously it's your
call
Once the guards are disposed head towards the front end of the ship
You should be standing beside a wall on the left Wall run on this
and jump on the deflecting shuttle It'll send you into a window that
leads to an abandoned tower
NOTE: Make sure your sand tanks are full before you proceed
---------------
THE RISING SAND
---------------
In the tower you'll find yourself atop a flight of stairs Don't
bother going down Instead go left and you'll hit a scene It seems
that some sand are rising quickly thus submerging the tower in the
process If you don't get out of this soon you'll be swallowed!
NOTE: You must do the following sequence *very* quickly and you must
continuously slow time whenever you can
Wall run on the right wall to the next platform Slow time now and
quickly go left again to do another wall run to the next platform
Do another wall run now and at the end of it jump to the horizontal
beam
Climb up the beam and jump to the platform ahead Slow time if needed
and go left again until you see another horizontal beam Wall run up
the right wall and rebound off the wall to this beam
Shimmy to the right of the beam and jump to the beam ahead From here
you can jump to the platform ahead You can now go left and exit via
the window there
If you do this fast enough you should see a cliff with some ledges in
front of you Jump to one of the ledges and continue to jump up ledge
by ledge until you reach to the top If you don't see any ledges it
means that you're too late
At the top go towards the sand portal to activate it You'll gain a
new sand tank for your efforts
------------
THE WAY BACK
------------
After the cut-scene you'll transform into the Dark Prince Your sand
tanks should more or less be depleted but you can fully replenish it
by heading to the left of this area to find a sand box Snag some sand
credits from the box and refill all your tanks in the process
Now head right and right again A scene will show you the way out of
this place Once you resume control run forward quickly - a wall is
moving out from the left wall and you don't want it to block your
path It's not necessary to slow time for this since you should have
enough time to get past the wall
Beyond the moving wall you'll reach the end of this pathway The
camera angle will change Wall run on the left wall and then jump to
the pole on the ship You won't reach it by merely jumping though so
quickly use the Dark Prince's daggertail (press triangle after jumping)
to swing towards the pole If done correctly you'll end up hugging the
pole Slow time now
You should see the sand portal behind you here Align towards that
direction and jump towards it while using your daggertail to swing
to the opposite walkway
Go left and you should see a closing door Quickly roll under it (slow
time if needed) Run towards the wall at the far end and wall run
along it to reach the sand portal As you land you'll hit water and
will transform back into the Prince
Head towards the sand portal to leave
--------------------------------------------- THE TEMPLE ROOFTOPS: END
======================================================================
======================================================================
7 THE MARKET DISTRICT [ RVSD05 ]
======================================================================
Another treasure vault level and like the previous one it's pretty
straightforward
-----------
ON A PLATER
-----------
Head to the bottom left corner of where you begin to find two facing
walls Use them to perform multiple wall-jumps up to the top At the
top jump to the dagger plate From here climb up to the platform
above
Do a wall run along the left wall to reach the ledge just above the
window ahead of you Shimmy right on the ledge until you're above the
window and drop down Climb through the window
A scene will now show you the locations of the three guardians Drop
down to the lower platform and wall run on the right wall to reach
the dagger plate
Jump to the opposite dagger plate and perform a wall run on the left
wall to the next available plate From here you can wall run to a
ledge/ gap on a large pole
Shimmy right and climb up to the platform Wall run up to the dagger
plate here and wall run along the left wall to the next plate Here
jump up the dagger plate above
You can now run along the left wall to the very faraway dagger plate
Note that if you attempt to perform this run on the lower dagger plate
you'll never make it Anyway from here jump to the platform behind
you
Do yet another wall run along the left to yet another dagger plate
Drop down to the plate below and jump to the ledge/ gap in the wall
behind you Here drop down to the ledge/ gap below
Shimmy right first and tweak the camera angle to check the head guard
at the far side Once he turns to look to the right quickly shimmy
left You can now double speed kill the two morons below There's every
chance that while you're doing these kills the head guard will turn
back to look at your direction If that happens you've no choice but
to fight
Anyway if you successfully pull off the kills use the wall here as
cover to check the head guard Once he looks to the right again sneak
towards his back quickly and speed kill him It's not necessary to slow
time here unless you really have problems reaching him before he turns
to look in your direction again
There's a sand box in the small alcove beyond/ to the left of this
last guard Snag it for some sand credits and to replenish your sand
tanks if you're low on sand
You can now return to the sand portal to get your reward of 150 sand
credits
Alternatively from where you begin simply run in to kill all the
three morons head on Once you enter the door will be locked so the
head guard won't be able to call for reinforcement Once you kill them
wall run up to hit the button near the locked door to unlock it and
go back to the sand portal I won't recommend this method though
since the platforming approach is so much more satisfying to do
--------------------------------------------- THE MARKET DISTRICT: END
======================================================================
======================================================================
8 THE UPPER CITY [ RVSD06 ]
======================================================================
Like The Balconies this is merely a resting level Walk across the
bridge and up the stairs to reach the fountain Drink from it to get
a new sand power - the Winds of Sands
-------------------------------------------------- THE UPPER CITY: END
======================================================================
======================================================================
9 THE CITY GARDENS [ RVSD07 ]
======================================================================
This is by far the most difficult map among the new levels It's also
extremely frustrating to do due to camera and controls issues Don't
be surprised if you've to redo it a few times
-----------------
RACE AGAINST TIME
-----------------
You'll transform into the Dark Prince from the onset From where you
begin go left and jump across the gap to the platform ahead There's
a pot here if you need to replenish sands Here run along the left
wall and at its end jump towards the chainswing As usual use the
daggertail to swing across to the opposite platform
NOTE: Precision is needed for this jump Sometimes you may miss the
platform even if you managed to connect to the chainswing which makes
it very frustrating
The platform that you're hanging on is unstable so quickly slow time
Shimmy to the right and around the platform until you can see another
platform to the left Jump towards that
This platform is equally shaky but its area is smaller so you should
be able to shimmy right and around it without having to slow time At
the end of it you should find an angled wall with a ledge behind you
Leap towards it
Climb up and shimmy left Jump to the large red column behind You
may consider slowing time here You'll be hanging onto a ledge All you
need to do is to shimmy right and then drop down to the ledge below
for a few times Problem is the column is sinking so slowing time may
help your plight A little
Once you drop down to a ledge with a pot you've reach the bottom A
pole is behind across the lava Quickly jump towards it and climb up
Again the ground holding the pole is submerging as well so you may
want to slow time It's entirely possible to climb up to the top
without slowing time though so the choice is up to you
At the top the camera angle will show a chainswing to the upper right
Jump towards it and use the daggertail to swing to a ledge on the
opposite wall Drop down to the ledges below (or if you're slow the
ledges will break anyway)
---------------
FIRE AND DRAGON
---------------
At the bottom head left to find a platform with two pots Smash them
and jump across the lava to the platform on the right Here you can
run up the wall to grab a ledge Climb up to the ledge above which
is connected to a platform
You need to jump to the right but a fire dragon statue is moving in
and out of the wall and splurting fire Wait for it to go into the
wall and then quickly jump to the ledge on the right
Adjust your camera angle and look down You should see a small platform
with a pot Drop down and break the pots to refill your health You
need to go right but another fire dragon statue awaits you Again
wait for it to go into the wall and then run along the left wall to
the far ledge
This is one of the most frustrating segments of the level You'll need
to perform multiple wall jumps up the walls here Some ledges will be
available for you to rest but don't think that it's easy Somehow
fire is splurting down from above You'll have to wait for it to go
away before wall-jumping to the next available ledge The lousy
camera angle however makes it difficult to gauge whether the fire is
still there or not If you remember you're playing as the Dark Prince
and your health continuously gets drained for nothing I've to wish
you all the best as you transverse your way up
------------------
RUSH TO THE PORTAL
------------------
On top wait for the fire to disappear (duh!) before jumping to the
right beam Here quickly jump to the horizontal bar ahead since your
health should be rather low now Climb up to the top of the bar and
turn around You should see another bar so jump towards it
From here jump to the small platform in front that has two pots
Saviour!
On this platform go left and balance yourself onto the beam Walk
towards its end and jump left to the horizontal beam Slow time here
if you want since the bar will start to shake Walk on this beam to
the right and then left until the end You can now jump to a long
thin horizontal pole
Hang on this pole and shimmy left down and left again You should
find a balcony at the top right corner of the screen (automatic camera
angle) or at least the ledge on it Jump to the ledge and shimmy
left until you can climb into the balcony
Break the pot here and then jump over and hang onto the railing A
scene will show two chainswings and the camera will pan to a left-to-
right view Jump to the right and chainswing twice You'll hopefully
reach a chain Descend it to finally reach the sand portal phew!
You'll get a new sand tank for your efforts - the sixth and final
one by the way
------------
THE WAY BACK
------------
You'll still have to get back to the starting area From where you
begin head right to find a pot Break it for sands and then head
towards the far wall Hug the wall and drop down to a hidden ledge
NOTE: A glitch here will prevent you from dropping down to the ledge
easily If you head towards the ledge area directly you may find the
Dark Prince suddenly "swimming" in mid-air If you're lucky a few
stabs at the buttons will free him If not he'll somehow plunge to
his death
Walk forward a little on on this hidden ledge and a scene will show
the lamps along the left wall Run along the wall and use the dagger-
tail to chainswing further (twice) to land onto a ladder Notice that
as you run along the wall it begins to break If you're worried you
can slow time but it's not essential
Climb the ladder up to the top There's another pot here on the left
Break it and then slow time Jump across the lava from platform to
platform (on the right of the pot) until you're on safe ground again
The platforms will start to tilt once you step onto them which is why
slowing time is helpful
Break the pot here and then wall run up the grey structure to hang on
to the ledge Shimmy right all the way and then climb up Shimmy right
until you see a ledge opposite you
DON'T I repeat DON'T even attempt to jump across to the opposite
ledge Two bouts of fire are guarding the walls and you'll never make
it Instead hang onto the ledge on that small squarish platform
Make sure that your back is facing you
You won't be able to see what's behind but take the leap of faith to
land onto a narrow ledge Be careful not to over-jump or you'll fall
to your death This ledge leads to the opposite platform that you
couldn't jump to earlier so simply walk up to the next area
Ahead you'll find one of those narrow walls thing Drop in between
these walls and slide all the way down Drop down to the water below
to transform back into the Prince
There's a chain to your left Jump towards it and slide down to the
sand portal I'm sure you're glad that you're finally leaving this
hell of a place
------------------------------------------------- THE CITY GARDENS: END
======================================================================
======================================================================
10 THE PROMENADE [ RVSD08 ]
======================================================================
Some time after "The Promenade" save point you'll find the sand gate
leading to this level It also begins with quite a surprise
-------------
MORTAL COMBAT
-------------
Unlike previous stealthy beginnings this level starts with three sand
monsters attacking you immediately It's time to put your fighting
skills to good use The good old vault attacks should do the job
easily However if you happen to be holding a secondary weapon you
may want to execute some combos just for the sake of it
Once you dispose the three morons look around you Notice that there
are some platforms above and around you Go to the lowest one and wall
run up to the top of it From here you should be able to run along the
right wall to reach the ledge at the left of the screen
Climb up to the platform above The next platform is to the right so
run along the left wall until you reach it
Look to the right to find some shutters at the far end of the left
wall here Run along the wall and use the shutters to reach the ledge
just above the window ahead Shimmy to the right and drop down to
the window Climb through
-------
DEJA VU
-------
Guess what? It's another treasure vault Wall run on the left wall to
hang onto the ledge at the right Climb up to the above platform and
look ahead of you from the left wall You should see another shutter
What to do? Just run along the left wall (again) and shutter-jump to
the chain on the right
Slide all the way down and drop to the wooden platform Another shutter
is found on the left wall again Do the same and shutter-jump to yet
another chain on the right This time you can slide down to execute a
double speed kill on the two morons below
Use the large squarish/ rectangular structure in the middle of the
room as cover Take the right path and hug the wall of this structure
and sneak towards the far end of the room You should see the head
sand guardian at the other side Once he looks away from you sneak
behind him to speed kill him
A locked door is just to the left of this last guard Run up the wall
to the left of this door to touch a button This unlocks the door so
simply walk back to the sand portal to claim your loot - 200 sand
credits
---------------------------------------------------- THE PROMENADE: END
======================================================================
======================================================================
11 THE HANGING GARDENS [ RVSD09 ]
======================================================================
You've been here before Walk across the bridge pass the stairs to
drink from the fountain You'll get the most powerful attacking sand
power - the Sand Storm
--------------------------------------------- THE HANGING GARDENS: END
======================================================================
======================================================================
12 CONCLUSION
======================================================================
I consider this document complete at the time of writing Based on my
memory of playing The Two Thrones there are no more sand gates after
"The Hanging Gardens" I've yet to complete Rival Swords obviously
but if I come across further levels I'll include the sections
respectively
I hope you've found this document useful Feel free to provide
feedback etc You know the usual Let me know if I made any errors
as well if you come across any
Cheers
