Prince of Persia (2008) The Temple (3) walkthrough: defeat the Mourning King and acquire the Step of Ormazd power.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Approach the glowing powers before the temple to trigger a cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically).
  2. 2
    Engage in a boss fight against the Mourning King (Part II).
  3. 3
    Block, deflect, and counter his attacks. Force him against the edges of the arena for a QTE (Quick Time Event).

    After the King loses more than half his health, he will flee.
  5. 5
    Approach the glowing emblems after the cutscene to select a new power.
  6. 6
    Select the red power, the Step of Ormazd.
  7. 7
    You will be transported to the blue world. Run to the first plate and activate it.
  8. 8
    The Step of Ormazd allows Elika to flip through the air and launch the Prince a great distance, similar to the blue power.
  9. 9
    Cross the area and exit back to the Temple.
  10. 10
    Use your new power to collect previously unavailable Light Seeds.
Tips

  • Deflect his attacks to avoid multiple hits in a row.
  • Elika will not join you in this fight, limiting combo options.
  • Experiment with new combos to add to your list for the Trophy.
  • After acquiring the Step of Ormazd, you can backtrack to find more Light Seeds.
