Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Part 43 walkthrough. Learn how to defeat the Shadow and merge with him.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Begin Level Twelve by climbing the ledges on the right to the second storey.
  2. 2
    Proceed right and climb the next ledge on the right until you reach a path with spikes.
  3. 3
    Carefully pass the spikes, run left until you see the end, and jump to the other side, which is full of loose slabs. Hold SHIFT.
  4. 4
    Once across, climb to the top to a platform with 3 slabs. Run and jump across these, continuing to run and jump to subsequent platforms on the right.
  5. 5
    At what appears to be a dead end with a skeleton, climb the visible ledge and drop the slab above.
  6. 6
    Climb up again and perform a blind jump to the left as soon as possible.
  7. 7
    Upon landing, climb up one storey and run across the loose slabs. Jump at the end.
  8. 8
    Climb to the top of the ledge, ignoring the gate, until you find a switch and a sword.
  9. 9
    Hit the switch, climb down, and enter the gate (it opens when the switch is hit). The pit to the left leads nowhere.
  10. 10
    Run and jump to the other side with a running start, holding SHIFT. Pull yourself up and run across to the other side.
  11. 11
    Climb the ledge you find there. Grab the loose slab on the right, as the next slab is solid.
  12. 12
    Drop one of the loose slabs and climb up. Run to the left side where the sword was and climb up again. The Shadow will appear.
  13. 13
    The Shadow fights like an ordinary guard but has 4 life bullets. If you injure him by one life bullet, you lose one life bullet. If he dies, you die too. If you push him down floors, you die too. If you die, he dies too.
  14. 14
    When the Shadow is in Neutral mode, jump into him to merge. You will become one again and gain one extra life.
  15. 15
    After merging, wait until you stop flashing. Then, run across the large pit to the left. Solid slabs will appear with every step on air. Do not attempt this while flashing, or you will fall.

Runthrough Shortcut:

  1. From the start, climb the ledge on the right. Instead of running left past the spikes, continue climbing up the right flank.
  2. At the end, take one careful step left, turn around, and hop 3 times. The slab above should fall.
  3. Climb up, go right, and this shortcut saves 4-5 seconds.
