At first,Prince of Persia: The Lost Crowncan seem quite straightforward.
After a few hours of playing, though, sweat will likely begin to dribble down your face.
But that shouldnt stop you from making the most of your experience.
You only have a limited number of amulet slots.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crownoffers far more amulets.
So, verify to peruse each one and find the best combination that works for you.
Furthermore, youll also unlock ten unique Athra Surges during your playthrough.
However, you’re able to only equip two and three later on.
Athra Surges offer immense benefits, including restoring health and gaining attack and damage buffs.
So, be sure to charge up your Athra meter by parrying and dealing damage.
Then, mix and match different amulets and Athra Surges to find the perfect loadout for you.
In exploration games, you cannot do without a checkpoint.
Its your resting point where you could restore your health and any spent resources, including weapons.
you’re free to switch out your loadout (amulets and Athra Surges) and upgrade your gear.
Its also where you respawn when you die, keeping in mind that enemies will respawn, too.
So, look out for golden leaves floating about in the wind.
Spot them, and you know a resting point lies just up ahead.
Fortunately, thePrince of Persia: The Lost Crownthrows out a signal for you.
Look out for a white, yellow, or red glow just before an attack.
White means it’s possible for you to successfully parry the attack.
Instead, you must dodge.
But with Metroidvanias often having vast, intertwining levels, its easy to forget places.
Lucky for you, thePrince of Persia: The Lost Crownsolves that problem using memory shards.
Memory Shards allow you to take a screenshot of an inaccessible location and pin it to the map.
Memory shards make all the difference in avoiding unnecessary backtracking, especially if youre a completionist.
Its such a useful feature, in fact, that, hopefully, future Metroidvanias will implement the same.
It allows you to access new abilities and use in-game currency to buy new gear and upgrades.
Youll encounter nine unique side quests throughout your journey on Mount Oaf.
So, see to it to accept all of them.
Thereafter, it’s possible for you to use rewards to progress.
In turn, gear and amulets help to improve your combat and platforming skills down the road.
