Prince of Persia: Warrior Within Hints

I've pushed the switch shown in the cut-scene. Now what?

  • 1 of 15: Notice the grating on the ground covering small conduits.  You've seen this before.
  • 2 of 15: Also notice the four pillars in the room.  Each of them has a long spout on it with a groove in it.
  • 3 of 15: Perhaps these could channel the water from the aqueduct.
  • 4 of 15: Now that you've pushed the switch, water is flowing.  Water...  Aqueduct...
  • 5 of 15: You have to get the water to travel through the entire aqueduct system.  How can you do this?
  • 6 of 15: You need to use the switches to turn the pillars so that they channel the water to where it needs to go.  Water goes in to a pillar from the conduit underneath it and comes out from the long spout.
  • 7 of 15: Starting from the switch shown in the cut-scene (located at 12:00 relative to the center of the area), retrace your steps to get back to the switches in the opposite order.
  • 8 of 15: Now you need to use the third switch to route the water from the pillars to the conduits in the ground.
  • 9 of 15: Notice that water is coming out of some of the pillars.  You have to get this water to fall into the grated water conduits in the ground.
  • 10 of 15: The conduits are positioned to one side of the pillars.  You just have to turn the pillars so that the spouts are facing the direction of the beginning of the conduits.  This will make the water fall into the conduits and run its course.
  • 11 of 15: Once you're done with the third switch, retrace your steps back to the second switch.
  • 12 of 15: Now you need to use the second switch to route the water from the other pillars to the conduits in the ground.
  • 13 of 15: Once you're done with the second switch, retrace your steps back to the center switch.
  • 14 of 15: Now you need to use the center switch to route the water from the last of the pillars to the conduits in the ground.
  • 15 of 15: If all went well, you should see a cut-scene in which the water is flowing through the entire system and the Water Tower has been activated.  Go back the way you came to the Central Hall.
