Complete Part 36 walkthrough for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, covering Level Three and Level Four, including enemy encounters and secrets.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the end of the platform, jump to a secret, hidden platform.
  2. 2
    Drop the loose slab on the right and climb up.
  3. 3
    Go right to find 3 cutters in a row and a Life Extension Potion (LEP) above them. Drink the LEP.
  4. 4
    Carefully jump back to the first platform (3 slabs).
  5. 5
    Run across the first platform and immediately jump over a large pit. Hold the SHIFT button after the jump to grab the ledge.
  6. 6
    Climb up to reach the second part of Level Three. This may take practice.
  7. 7
    Inside the gate, find a Healing Potion. Go left to a platform with a skeleton.
  8. 8
    Hit the switch and go through the gate to meet a cutter and a downward path.
  9. 9
    Get past the cutter, follow the path down, and hit the level switch. The level door below will open.
  10. 10
    Head back to the skeleton's platform. The skeleton will animate when you touch the platform.
  11. 11
    Fight the skeleton. You can push it back with strikes. Push it towards the right end of the platform.
  12. 12
    Scale down the right side of the platform to face the skeleton again. Block its first attack.
  13. 13
    Keep attacking until the skeleton steps on the loose slab and falls into the pit. Level Three ends.
  14. 14
    LEVEL FOUR: THE SHADOW
  15. 15
    You start with two gates; one left and one right. The right gate is currently inaccessible.
  16. 16
    Step on the switch to open the left gate. Proceed to the next area.
  17. 17
    At a junction (straight or down), go straight first. Open the gate on the left.
  18. 18
    In the next area, approach a suspicious path. The last two steps are loose slabs, with a trap switch in the middle. Open the gate, wait for it to fully open, then run and jump over the trap.
  19. 19
    In the next area, there is a gate with no switch and two loose slabs. The switch is beneath the extreme left slab. Drop the slab, and the gate will open. Climb up the ledge to find a Life Extension Potion guarded by a cutter.
  20. 20
    Return to the junction and go down. A guard is to your left but is not essential to the level. To the right are a potion and broken slabs.
  21. 21
    Continue to an area with a guard and his cutter. Proceed past them and climb up the ledge.
  22. 22
    On top of the ledge, you can fight the guard on the left, near the initially inaccessible gate. Alternatively, jump to the right across ground-level spikes.
  23. 23
    Go straight to find a guard, the level door, and a trap switch. Slay the guard. The trap switch only closes the gate behind you.
  24. 24
    Head into the next screen. A potion is beneath you near a loose slab, useful if low on health.
  25. 25
    Proceed to the next screen where the level switch is visible. Climb up the ledge and go through the cutter.
  26. 26
    Activate the level switch. A shadow will block your path. Run and jump through the mirror. A shadow of you will jump in the opposite direction. Your life will be reduced to one bullet but you will not die.
  27. 27
    Complete the level.

Runthrough! (Level Three):

  • Forget about the LEP.
  • During the skeleton fight, switch sides with it. Back up to the right ledge and fall down. Hold SHIFT to hang on and climb down.

Additional Stuff; Exploring (Level Three):

  • In the 2nd screen to the left, after the cutter, you will find a Level One-ish structure with a pit below. You can climb down to get a Healing Potion, but falling means death.

Stuff To Pick Up (Level Four): 4x Healing Potions

Enemies (Level Four): 4x guards

Level Difficulty (Level Four): 5

Enemy Difficulty (Level Four): 4

My Time (Level Four): 56 minutes

Password (Level Four): ACCVQC

Tips
  • The skeleton in Level Three cannot be permanently killed by normal means; it must be pushed into the pit.
  • The gate on the right in Level Four is inaccessible until later in the level.
  • The trap in Level Four with the suspicious path can be jumped over if timed correctly.
  • The trap switch in Level Four near the level door only closes the gate behind you.
  • The mirror in Level Four creates a shadow that reduces your health but does not kill you.
