Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Part 40 walkthrough covering Level Eight, defeating Linger, and navigating traps.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Start Level Eight. To your right is an Evil Potion. Go left to avoid a dead end and climb the platform. Do not attempt to jump across the ledge below the platform, as it is impossible.
  2. 2
    Once on the platform, go left. Watch out for loose slabs.
  3. 3
    On the left, you will encounter a guard named Linger, a switch, and spikes. Linger waits for you to make a move before attacking.
  4. 4
    To defeat Linger: Method 1 - Move one step forward, evade his strike by moving backward, then move forward again to strike as his attack finishes. Method 2 - Move forward, block his strike, and counterattack. Continue this until he falls into the spike pit or dies.
  5. 5
    Press the switch to open the gate on your left and jump across.
  6. 6
    In the next screen, you see a potion below you and a switch to open the gate you came from. Go to the ledges on the left and climb down.
  7. 7
    At the bottom, get past the cutter.
  8. 8
    In the next screen, jump over the ground-level spikes.
  9. 9
    Go right to find the level door.
  10. 10
    Head right, evade spikes, and defeat the green guard.
  11. 11
    Go right again. Take the potion in the next screen if needed.
  12. 12
    You will see another green guard on a platform. Slowly walk underneath the platform to avoid detection.
  13. 13
    After walking across, you will come to a series of ledges. Jump to the right and climb them, then jump back onto the left platform with the guard. Remember to hold SHIFT.
  14. 14
    Before fighting the guard, note there is a ledge with a potion above you if needed.
  15. 15
    Surprise the guard, who should be facing the opposite way.
  16. 16
    Activate the switch. Run and jump across the gate on the left.
  17. 17
    You will see two cutters and a switch above the first one. This switch only opens the gate where you came from. Both gates are controlled by the switch on the platform with the guard, so you must rush.
  18. 18
    After passing the gate with the cutter, you come to another closing gate. Run and jump across the loose slab at the end to make it in time.
  19. 19
    In the next screen, there is a trap a step away and a ledge above you. Run and jump to the next platform on the left. Above this ledge is a potion and an unreachable platform (dead end).
  20. 20
    When you jump over from the platform on the left, watch out for a loose slab.
  21. 21
    In the next screen, defeat the orange guard and get past the cutter.
  22. 22
    Proceed to the left. Activate the switch, but be aware of the trap beside it.
  23. 23
    Jump over the trap and jump towards the gate on the left.
  24. 24
    Inside this gate, you will find two cutters placed dangerously close. Timing is crucial.
  25. 25
    Once past the cutters, activate the level switch and carefully step back to the cutters. Do not run.
  26. 26
    Exit the open gate. If you get stuck, a mouse will activate the switch for you. Thank the mouse, climb down, and go for the level door.
  27. 27
    Level Eight is now completed.
Tips
  • Trying to run past Linger is slower than killing him. Kill him or drive him into the spikes.
  • On the way out after activating the level switch near the twin cutters, you cannot run and jump past them. Jump past them quickly to avoid waiting for the mouse.
