Prince of Persia: Warrior Within Hints

I'm in the past. What do I do in the first room with all the spinning gears?

  • 1 of 15: You just have to navigate the room.  By now, you've had considerable experience with working your way through rooms such as this.  Remember to keep a careful eye out for places to use your maneuvers, such as bars, beams, poles, walls, ledges, etc.
  • 2 of 15: From the fountain at the beginning, jump past the spinning gear, using Slow Time if you need to.
  • 3 of 15: Kill the enemies.  You should see some poles.  Jump from pole to pole until you get to a beam on the other side.  Jump onto the beam, then from there to a nearby platform with a button.
  • 4 of 15: Run up the wall to press the button, then run across the right wall to grab the ledge.  Scoot around it and, from the other side, jump to a bar, then swing to a platform with a switch.
  • 5 of 15: Use the switch to start the bar moving.  Jump out the bar when it's lowered, then wait to jump until it reaches its peak.  You should end up on a platform.
  • 6 of 15: Kill the enemies then grab onto a bar switch hanging overhead.  Jump to the newly raised platform.
  • 7 of 15: From the platform, use a beam jump to a beam sticking out of a semi-circular room.  Scoot around the ledge surrounding the room, then jump up on the upper ledge, and jump again.  Drop onto the edge of the platform.  Climb into the room.  Kill the guard.
  • 8 of 15: Climb up the ladder in the room onto the wall.  Walk to the end of the wall and jump to a ledge from the other side.
  • 9 of 15: Scoot left along the ledge.  Jump to a bar on the other side.
  • 10 of 15: Scoot around and jump to the nearby ledge.  Jump from the ledge to a platform with a switch.
  • 11 of 15: You have to use the switch to change the movement of the nearby gear.
  • 12 of 15: Once the gear is turning clockwise, jump from the platform to a nearby bar, then to the gear when one of its protrusions is facing you.  Ride the gear around.
  • 13 of 15: As soon as you see the bar behind you, jump to it, or you'll fall and die.  Swing from the bar to a platform with a button.
  • 14 of 15: Press the button to make a wooden ledge rotate.  Run across the right wall, and jump to the ledge.
  • 15 of 15: From the wooden ledge, jump to a ledge against the wall and scoot left to find a new room.  Continue past the traps to find a fountain.
