Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones

The Beginning: Start by moving forward and rolling through a doorway. Turn left, then around. Climb a wooden crate, jump to a stone, then another. Turn left at the wall and run along it to a wooden ledge. Turn right, run up the wall to a ledge, shimmy left, and drop down. Head to the ladder and descend. Move forward, turn right, jump onto and ascend a column. Jump to the next column, ascend, and jump back to the previous one. Turn left and jump to a wooden platform. Turn right, climb a raised platform, and move to the right rail to climb over. Jump to the central column, then to the ledge across. Shimmy right and drop. Turn around, run along the wall to the opposite ledge. Jump up to the higher ledge, shimmy left to an opening, climb up, and drop into the next room.

The Ramparts: Upon entering, you'll find a water fountain to replenish health and save the game (press R near it). Other water sources replenish health but don't save. Turn left and proceed to the next corner. Here, you'll be introduced to the Landscape Camera (press Z when the gold icon appears). Use the C-Stick to zoom in/out in this view. Turn right and ascend the ladder. Go through the doorway to trigger a cutscene introducing the first enemy, the Guard, and the Speed Kill system. To perform a Speed Kill, approach an enemy undetected until the screen distorts, then press Y. Complete the Speed Kill by pressing B when the screen flashes and the dagger flares. Failure results in damage. This initial Speed Kill is a tutorial.

Begin by performing Speed Kills on two Guards.

Slide down a column and perform another Speed Kill on a Guard.

Head over a rail and jump to a column, slide down, and move behind the next Guard for a Speed Kill.

Turn right, head to the platform edge, run along the left wall to a ledge across, shimmy right, climb up, shimmy right again, drop to the next ledge, shimmy right, and jump across the gap.

Descend a ladder quickly, move behind the Guard ahead, and perform a Speed Kill.

You will be introduced to the Free-Form Fighting system.

Head around a pillar, descend a stairway, turn right, and head toward the alleyway.

Engage your first Guard in Free-Form Fighting. Vault attacks and Aerial Landing Slices are effective.

After defeating him, turn right, head forward to the next edge, run along the left wall, and jump to the ledge on the right.

Climb up the ledge, jump to the next ledge, shimmy left, and climb up after turning the corner.

Turn left and ascend a ladder.

In the next room, run up the wall to reach the ledge above. Climb over it and head forward for a cutscene.

After the cutscene, turn left, reach the platform edge, and run along the left wall to a curtain, which the Prince will slide down.

Turn around, head forward, and engage three Guards in Free-Form Fighting. Vault attacks, Wall Rebound attacks, and Grab Throws are effective.

After defeating them, head forward, turn left into the next room, and ascend the ladder.

Jump backward to the other ladder, turn around on it, and climb up.

Run up the wall on the right and jump at the apex to reach the ledge to the left.

Climb up the ledge, jump to the right to reach a ladder, and climb it to the top.

You will be introduced to the First Person Camera (activated by pressing Up on the D-Pad).

Head forward off the platform and make a left. Head forward until you reach a door, and climb the ledge to the left of the door.

Climb the ledge above that, move forward to the platform edge, and you will encounter Archers.

Archers are weaker than Guards but have arrow attacks that can be blocked. They require one visual cue for a Speed Kill.

Run along the wall on your left to reach the ledge across, wait for the screen to distort, and execute a Speed Kill.

Head forward, descend the ladder, and sneak up on the Guard ahead for a Speed Kill.

Roll under the hole ahead to reach the next room.

Turn left and break the weapon rack for a secondary weapon.

Turn right, get on the beam, and jump forward to a set of beams. Drop from the first beam to the second.

Wait until the Archer turns away, then execute a Speed Kill on the Guard.
