Prince of Persia: Warrior Within Hints

What do I do in the catacombs?

  • 1 of 8: Jump to the Prince's left onto a platform.  There appears to be something sticking out of the wall.
  • 2 of 8: It's a giant weight.  Pull it out to weigh down the platform you're on, bringing it to the ground.
  • 3 of 8: The cut-scene showed you two more platforms with weights and a large staircase.  You'll have to use the staircase to get to the other two platforms.
  • 4 of 8: Run up the staircase and turn the corner, but WATCH OUT!
  • 5 of 8: DAHAKA!  You have to follow the paths that branch off of this one to get to the other platforms with weights, but you'll have to do it while outrunning the Dahaka!
  • 6 of 8: You'll eventually come to a fork in the road with the Dahaka still chasing you.  Each direction leads to one of the two other platforms with weights.
  • 7 of 8: Once you lower one of the platforms, go back up the staircase and repeat, taking the other direction once you reach the fork in the road.
  • 8 of 8: Lower all three platforms (including the first) and you'll raise the center platform (with the sarcophagus on it).
