Part 35

Master the Dark Prince's devastating combat abilities and Sands of Time powers in Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones. Learn the best combos, powers, and secondary weapons.

Dark Prince's Special Moves:

1. Of Pain (B, Y, Y, B, B) - Slashes with the dagger, swings the daggertail twice high, cuts upward, and finishes with a leaping chop. Brutal against single enemies and in narrow spaces. Recommended against: Sand Archers, Thralls, Reptus. Rating: 8.5/10
2. Storm of Anger (Y, Y, B, B, B) - Swings the daggertail twice in three high attacks, twirls it for a fourth, and leaps forward for a fifth. Pure daggertail damage, but the finisher is hard to hit. Recommended against: Sand Guards. Rating: 7.75/10
3. Storm of Remorse (B, B, Y, Y, Y) - Slashes twice with the dagger, then swings the daggertail forward in three low attacks. Good for knockdowns, use in a pinch. Recommended against: Reptus, Chameleons. Rating: 8/10
4. Twister of Pentinence (B, B, Y, Y, B, B) - Slashes twice with the dagger, swings the daggertail forward in two low attacks, followed by a leaping daggertail finisher. Trades knockdown for a finisher compared to Storm of Remorse. Recommended against: Reptus, Chameleons. Rating: 8.25/10
5. Plague Tornado (Y, Y, Y, B, B) - Swings the daggertail for three high attacks, slices upward, then downward. Good for clearing weaker enemies quickly. Recommended against: Sand Guards, Chameleons. Rating: 8.5/10
6. Oblivion Tornado (Y, Y, B, B, Y, Y) - Swings the daggertail for six devastating attacks, finishing with a kick. Brutal damage for single enemies and packs. Recommended against: Everything. Rating: 9/10
7. Typhoon of Torment (Y, B, Y, B, Y, B) - Swings the daggertail for five devastating attacks, followed by a sixth brutal finisher. Nearly as good as Oblivion Tornado in damage with a better finisher. Recommended against: EVERYTHING. Rating: 9.5/10

Sands of Time Powers:

1. Recall (L [Hold]) - Rewinds time for as long as the button is pressed or the Sand gauge lasts. The best move in the game for cheating death. Rating: 10/10
2. Eye of the Storm (L [Tap]) - Slows down time for everything but the Prince. Useful for obstacles and making combat easier. Rating: 9.75/10
3. Winds of Sand (L while holding R) - Charges Sand and unleashes it, knocking down and damaging nearby enemies. Good in a pinch, but Recall is better. Rating: 4.5/10
4. Sand Storm (L while holding R) - Charges Sand and unleashes it, killing all nearby enemies. Brutally powerful but costly. Rating: 7.5/10

Secondary Weapons:

• Swords: Balanced, usable in most situations.
  • Sand Gate Guard Sword: Low attack and durability, but continually regenerates Sand Tanks. Most useful secondary weapon.
  • King's Sword: Infinite durability, instant kill to conventional enemies. Makes combat trivial.
• Axes: Stronger but slower, for more durable enemies.
• Maces: Very powerful with knockdown, but slow. Good for large groups or defensive strategies.
• Daggers: Weak and not durable, but powerful when thrown. Can take down enemies before they reach you.
