Before starting Level Three, it is recommended to save your game by pressing CTRL+G. Remember that only one save file can be maintained, so back up any existing saves if necessary.

Upon exiting the previous level, Prince will emerge from a door. There are two initial paths: left and right. The left path leads to an encounter with a 'cutter' enemy. From there, you can go up towards a spiky platform and a gate, or left towards the level door with a level switch above it. You may encounter a loose slab, but it leads to a dead end and is not essential for progression.

For progression, take the right path at the start of the level. In the next screen, you will find two platforms. Climb the left platform, then jump to the right platform, as the left one leads to nowhere. Climb up the right platform to reach a ledge that appears to be a dead end.

This ledge is not a dead end. Jump to your right to find three platforms: one long and two short. A gate switch is located at the extreme right. Activating this switch opens the gate encountered on the left path earlier, requiring Prince to race against time to reach it before it closes. If you fall, you must restart from the beginning of this section.

To reach the switch, carefully step to the edge of the first platform and jump, repeating for the second platform. On the third platform, activate the switch. Before heading to the gate, collect the LEP (likely a health-boosting item) found on a hidden secret platform. To reach it, step to the end of the third platform and jump. Drop the loose slab on the right and climb up. Proceed right to find three cutters in a row, with the LEP above them.

After drinking the LEP, carefully jump back to the first platform. This platform consists of exactly three slabs, sufficient for a running jump across. Once across, continue running without stopping to ensure you reach the gate before it closes. You will encounter a large pit; jump across it while still running. To clear the pit and reach the gate, you may need to hold the SHIFT button after jumping to grab the ledge. Climb up to enter the second part of Level Three. This section may require practice.

Inside the gate, you will find a Healing Potion. To your left, a skeleton enemy is located in the middle of the platform. Ignore it for now and proceed to the left to find a cutter and a downward path. Follow this path down and hit the level switch. The level door below will open. Return to the platform with the skeleton. Upon touching the platform, the skeleton will animate.

The fight with the skeleton is challenging as it cannot be permanently killed by conventional means. Each strike causes it to step back. The strategy is to push it towards the right end of the platform, where it will fall into a pit. However, this does not defeat it. To truly defeat the skeleton, scale down the right side of the platform. The skeleton will be waiting below. Prepare to block its first attack. Continue attacking until it steps on a loose slab, causing it to fall into the pit. With the skeleton defeated, the level is complete.
