This thread is a compiled listing of the most frequently found problems, and puzzles, they where formed by questions people have had, and the responses members replied. This thread is divided into three parts. Story Mod, Tutorials, and FAQ. This thread is not spam. §tory Mode 0% Getting the Dagger of Time
----------- From where you are in the main room by where you first see the daggar of time though a small opining above the hourglass. Continue, your quest, you cant get it from there. Wall ride to the right, or jump to the ledge on the other side, I cant remember, that should get you to a seris of tunles, in witch you have to wall ride from place to place, and ocassionaly jump and sutch. Once you get to the end you will come to a cavern. Get on the tip of the ledge, and drop down, and press O, after traveling a few feet one of the boards will collapse, jump down using O, until you come to the bottom, then when the board collapses press X, to jump up to the next ledge. Once you get to the end of that, press the analog stick in the opposite direction of the ledge, and jump onto the pillar. Do this until you come to the center pillar. Drop down by lowering the left analog stick. Once you get there step up to the Stone Statue. And travel to the right of the hand and run up the wall using R1, and press X on the way up to jump onto the Hand. On the hand travel left, and go up that wall using R1 again. From there go to the back wall and travel to the face of the statue. Run up it using R1, and press X once you hit the wall no sooner. And you will jump to the other side of the wall. Once you hit the wall press X again, do this repeatedly until you come to the top of the shaft. Get the daggar, and wall ride out of there. Most poeple mess it up, and fall in the pit. If that happens, {I think they make you?} Press L1. To go back in time, and re-do it. Wall ride on the left wall using R1, and jump once[X] you get in line with the next ledge. ---------- 14% Father Boss Fight.
---------- Save the King (the big guy in the blue turban) for last, coz he blocks a lot and that just makes you an easy target for the other guys - unless he's attacking Farah (the chick with the bow). Then just give him a couple of whacks to draw his attention. The red soldiers are easier to beat, since you can flip over them (by pressing triangle) and give them a couple of good whacks in the back to knock them down. Use them to refill your available power tanks, then use the full power tanks to freeze the blue soldiers and destroy them. Don't bother trying the flip over thing on the blue soldiers. They have those lovely polearms with the blades at both ends, and they'll nail you pretty much every time. Try to keep the battle in the same general area where it starts. That way, if you end up needing water, you should have a head start on the sand creatures when you run for it (even if they can appear anywhere). Also useful if Farah is in trouble. If you can't get through the mess of enemies to help her, run toward the other end of the room and she should be able to get away from them and follow you - which ought to divert the sand creatures' attention from her long enough for her health to recover a bit. There's very little chance that you can get away from the sand creatures long enough to drink much water before one of them hits you again. If you get to the water, don't take one sip and run. Hold down the button to drink. Typically, you'll get a few good drinks in before one of them hits you again. Sure, it'll knock down your health a bit when they attack you, but you should still be better off than you were before. If this tactic goes horribly wrong (like if three of them try to gang up on you at once), you can always rewind and try again. Finishing off the King gets a lot simpler once all the other guys are out of the way. If you keep hitting him, you'll land about every fifth strike. If you flip over him and hit him, you should land a lot more hits. It takes ten or fifteen hits to take him down. ---------- Entry By: ESCS ----------
First things first. The are 3 types of monsters in the battle I am referring to. Take out the smaller ones first, don't worrie about the Boss, save him for last. Go around and kill all the blue ones first, they are the hardest, and you need to get rid of them first, and an few red ones to keep the population down. Hop backward (using X) when your health is low and get a drink of water. When doing so hit L1, to see the entire areana, when a sand creature gets near you hit X and run. After most or all of the blue guys are done, the red ones are easy. Press X to access the flip mode, and fly over them, and hit Square. They will fall down, on the first hit. Mos of the time. And use Triangle to absorb there sand. Now that all of the reds, and blues, are gone, all thats left is the boss. Use X to flip over him, and press Square to hit him. NOTE: he will block if you don't hit him quick enough, so hit Square in the middle of the sequence, to get a little extra hit. -------------------- Note: On all of them, if the crowed around you press X to gather magic from a fallen one. If you do this wile gathering it they cant hit you. The Second this happens. hit X, and you will get away safely. --------------------- ---------- 33% The Baths. After Swinging pendulums, and save point. After pulling the statue press the switch on the right hand side to is. Run to the door that just opened and pull the rotating thingy.That should drain the water. On the left and right hand side, near the door, there will be ledges. run up the wall and grab onto the ledge then do a series of swings eventually leading to a lever. Do the same on the other side. Once done a little door will open, push the block in to it. I'll let you go from here.After pushing the block in the hole, go back to the spinning pindulums with the spikes. {Where you first go into the room}. Go back there and up to the first room, with the small waterfall. You will see the block on the first level. Grab the block using R1, and push it down the waterfall. After that push it to the right hand corner. Alline it with the latter. ---------- Observatory 71%
Once you're at the Save Point, Farah finds a crack, go back to the strange-looking U-shaped platform which will rise once Farah pulls the lever. Prince shouts "Now!" and the platform rises. Jump over to the other side and retrieve the Sand Field on the left. Go to the right side and jump over to the poles (you can't run; try and shatter your skull) Jump from pole to pole, swinging back and forth to reach the capstan with a blue glowing-thingy on top. Turn it counter-clockwise once. Jump onto the pole - from pole to pole, jump over to the central pillar, and jump over to another platform (with a capstan with a red glowing-thingy, respectively.) Turn the capstan counter-clockwise, jump onto the pole, and when you reach the pillar, jump left onto the pole that you just swung. From there, jump onto the lever, moving the planets and jump onto the switch. Move quickly - a platform forms, saving you from certain doom; you have to run along the walls to get back to the capstan with the blue glowing-thingy. Move too slow and the platform will retrat, and you have no choice but to let go and fall to your doom. Do not touch the capstan! Leave it as it is, jump onto the pole, reach the pillar and jump right. From there, swing from pole to pole until you reach the main lever, opening the gate. Walk up to the huge cables and slide down - Prince exerts a whoop of lunacy as you slide down the cables at high speed. Don't bother about the lever you see there; it's stuck solid. Just get past the gate and exit the planetarium. ----------------- Elevator %?
---------- That is a very difficult part, indeed - probably the most difficult in the whole game (it was for me, anyway). I'd say use regular attacks/sand retrieves on the first few enemies (which should be the big guys with maces) because they're pretty much the only enemies you'll encounter here that you can jump over and beat from the back fairly easily. Of course, once you start defeating them, the tougher guys show up almost immediately. At this point all your sand tanks have complete power tanks with them. If you got the sandcloud just before you got on the elevator, they should all be full. Try to wait as long as you can and defeat as many of the harder enemies as you can. When you get to a point where there are too many enemies (or if Farah is in trouble), use mega freeze to freeze them all and target/destroy them quickly. When time goes back to normal, they'll probably keep coming, but by then you can usually kill some of them and freeze a few of the others one by one (since mega freeze uses up all your power tanks). I usually freeze only the big guys with the swords at that point, unless I have to use it on a creature that is directly attacking Farah. Actually, I didn't know a thing about using mega freeze the first couple of times I played through the game (coz I never read instruction manuals, and the instructions at some points in the game don't stay on the screen long enough to read). The elevator part is absolutely hateful without it, but it can be done. I've used mega freeze in a couple of replays, though, and it makes that nasty little battle a good deal easier. ---------- This thread was made, collected, and managed by exsoldierCloudStrife  - 1/29/04- Added, elevator.Cleaned/Floated/Closed - 1/29/04 Just PM me if you need me to make any other changes to this thread, exsoldiercloudstrife.  -Ryguy[size=1][color=#666666]This message was edited by exsoldiercloudStrife on Feb 11 2004. | |

Ŧuŧorials Basic Buttons
---------- R1-Runs up walls, grabs on to objects, Swings. L1-Sand Tricks R2-Camara Angle First Person L2-Camara Angle Far ∆-Uses Daggar Attack O-Puts up Wepon X-Rolls, and Jumps, and Wall Rides Left Analog-Controls Prince Right Analog-Controls Camara Position. ---------- Sand tricks
---------- Rewind-L1 Freez-∆ Haste-Press and hold R1, then hit L1 to freeze all the enemies, then point the analog stick in the direction of each enemy and hit the square button twice for each one. The haste effect only lasts about 20 seconds, though, so it's best to save it till you absolutely need it and can make the most of it. Be warned, though, haste uses up all your power tanks, so you won't be able to freeze enemies after you've used it until you've retrieved sand from a few of them again. ---------- This thread was made, collected, and managed by exsoldierCloudStrife This message was edited by exsoldierCloudStrife on Feb 13 2004. | |

Get on the tip of the ledge, and drop down, and press O, after traveling a few feet one of the boards will collapse, jump down using O, until you come to the bottom, then when the board collapses press X, to jump up to the next ledge. Once you get to the end of that, press the analog stick in the opposite direction of the ledge, and jump onto the pillar. Do this until you come to the center pillar. Drop down by lowering the left analog stick. Once you get there step up to the Stone Statue.
