Prince of Persia: Warrior Within Hints

How do I defeat the final boss (normal ending)?

  • 1 of 8: It's time for one final showdown with the Empress of Time.  Overall, the strategy is the same, but she's got a couple new tricks up her sleeve.  Well, she doesn't really have sleeves, but...you get the idea.
  • 2 of 8: The fight is the same as last time, except she has two new attacks: the ability to use Eye of the Storm (Slow Time) and the ability to make tornados.  She does not, however, make Bird Creatures.
  • 3 of 8: It's vital that you don't waste sand!  You're not a Sandwraith anymore, so it won't regenerate, and you'll need it desperately for when the Empress uses Slow Time!
  • 4 of 8: When the Empress uses Slow Time, use Slow Time yourself.  Not only will the Empress's Slow Time be cancelled, but your own will actually take effect!
  • 5 of 8: When the Empress starts floating amidst a column of sand, she'll start summoning three tornadoes.  These things are deadly, so be very careful to dodge them.
  • 6 of 8: After the tornadoes dissipate, they will leave sand behind.  Always grab the sand -- you'll need it!
  • 7 of 8: When the Empress starts to teleport/float/kick at you, keep on your toes.  As soon as she appears next to you, dodge to avoid her very painful kick.  Only attack her when she's on the ground.
  • 8 of 8: Keep it up!  Take advantage of your Slow Time, don't waste sand unnecessarily, and dodge the tornadoes and, after a good fight, the Empress will fall.
