Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Part 38 walkthrough covers defeating Fatso, navigating the shadow puzzle, and surviving the fall into Level Seven.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the start, head left and hit the switch to open the gate.
  2. 2
    Proceed past the two sets of spikes by making short runs.
  3. 3
    In the next screen, activate the switch, then walk to the edge of the ledge and jump over the spikes and pit to reach the gate.
  4. 4
    You will encounter a tough guard named Fatso who counters all your attacks. To win, repeatedly hit UP and SHIFT to engage in a long swordfight.
  5. 5
    After defeating Fatso, the gate below the loose slab that falls during the fight will open.
  6. 6
    Ignore the balcony ahead, as it serves no purpose other than indicating you are halfway through the game.
  7. 7
    Jump over the pit and proceed straight.
  8. 8
    On the platform ahead, you will see your shadow, two gates, and a trap. On your side, there is a switch on the left.
  9. 9
    Warning: Do not jump to the shadow's platform directly. Instead, commit suicide by jumping down to skip time-wasting steps.
  10. 10
    You will end up at the start of Level Six.

Runthrough!

  1. You do not have to fight Fatso. Drop the slab to open the gate, switch places with Fatso, and run away.
  2. Do not bother with the Shadow; just jump down.

Additional Stuff; Exploring

  1. From the start of the level, to your right is a huge gap. You cannot get down there normally unless you die. If you jump, you will see some broken slabs on the floor. If you do get down there, you will still die once you cross the gap to the left.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Hold SHIFT immediately to hang on to the ledge after your suicidal jump from the previous level. Pull yourself up.
  2. 2
    You are in the dungeon. A Landing Buffer Potion is at the bottom-left corner, but you won't make it if you jump there.
  3. 3
    To your left is a dead end and a skeleton. Jump over to the right instead.
  4. 4
    Go right and meet a blue guard and a cutter. Push the guard into the cutter.
  5. 5
    After defeating them, go right. You will see 2 gates and a trap in the middle, with a loose slab above it. Drop the loose slab to save trouble. The trap will close one gate, but it's for the better.
  6. 6
    Go right again to a dead end. Hop and drop a loose slab above you. Climb up to the next floor.
  7. 7
    Get past the cutter, go right, and kill the guard there.
  8. 8
    Head right until you see a potion.
  9. 9
    Glitch: Go down to the potion platform. Measure your running jump carefully to land exactly on the edge of the floor above the gate. If done correctly, you will pass through the gate without opening it, saving time at the expense of one life bullet. You automatically arrive at the next area.
  10. 10
    Long Way: If you cannot perform the glitch, climb down from the potion platform, step on the switch, and go right.
  11. 11
    Activate the switch near the trap and spikes. Wait until both gates are fully open, then run and jump over the trap and spikes.
  12. 12
    Go to the next screen on the right. You see a huge pit separating you from the next platform, a switch, and a ledge below you.
  13. 13
    Climb down from the ledge, activating the switch at the same time. Let go of the ledge and press SHIFT immediately to hang on to the ledge below.
  14. 14
    Climb up and make your way left.
Tips
  • The balcony in the previous section serves no purpose except to indicate you're halfway throughout the game.
  • Pushing guards into cutters is an effective tactic.
  • The gate near the potion platform can be bypassed using a glitch by carefully measuring a running jump to land on the edge of the floor above it.
  • If you cannot perform the glitch, activate switches to open gates fully before attempting to jump over traps and spikes.
  • When crossing the large pit, climb down a ledge while activating a switch, then immediately press SHIFT after letting go to grab the lower ledge.
