I am having trouble with The Arena Tunnel. The Dark Prince keeps dieing before i reach the water fountain. I have gotten the 2 health upgrades needed and its not a glitch. Is it normal for that level to be hard, and does he always make it to the fountain with hardly any life?

Is this the tunnel just after Klompa right? I don't remeber having much in the way of trouble with this if you know how to use the Dark Prince proplery. Don't faff around looking for ways to do things, stumble blindly into them and hope they'll work out alright - its not as safe but its faster, and timing is everything. If you screw up then you can always rewind, the sands replenish.
Always look for pots to break - as you are the Dark Prince, they will always have sands in them. Maybe thats the problem. Vase = vase fragments and Dark Prince health.

its the tunnel after the arena

ok ive got it yah, thanks!!!!
