Prince of Persia: Warrior Within Hints

How do I open the door the "Girl in Black" ran through?

  • 1 of 26: After the cut-scene in which the "Girl in Black" escapes through a door, take out the enemies that have come up to greet you.  After you're done, take a good look around the room.  Do you see anything you could use to progress?
  • 2 of 26: In order to open the door, you have to pull on the "bar switch" hanging high over the door.  That's your ultimate goal.
  • 3 of 26: Look up, look down, look all around.  Do you see any bars or beams you can grab?
  • 4 of 26: There's a block near one of the pillars (on your right as you enter the room) that you can climb onto.  Directly above it is...
  • 5 of 26: ...a bar.  Simply jump up from atop the block to grab it.
  • 6 of 26: Facing the locked door, swing on the bar and jump up to the bar above.
  • 7 of 26: This bar forms a "T" with another bar.  By edging towards the "T," you can move onto the perpendicular bar.  Is there anywhere you can get to by doing this?
  • 8 of 26: Indeed there is.  Edge onto the left side of the perpendicular bar and swing and jump to the platform beyond it (over the chasm).
  • 9 of 26: From there, walk across the beam (on your right side as you land on the platform) to the platform on the other side.  Now you should be on a platform that is, relative to the entrance to this room, one story up and across the chasm to the right.  Is there anything you can do from this platform?
  • 10 of 26: By the gap between the two platforms, there's a bar you can jump up to and grab.  Once you get off the beam, take a 90-degree left turn and it will be directly in front of you.
  • 11 of 26: Facing the gap, swing on this bar and jump to the next bar.  From this bar, swing and jump again, hitting the Jump button as soon as you hit the wall, to wall jump off of it.  If you did it correctly, you should grab the beam directly above the bar you just jumped from.  Climb onto the beam and jump once more to get to the next platform.
  • 12 of 26: Look around from this new platform.  There's a whole different set of platforms on the other side of the room (over the left chasm from the point of view of the entrance).  How can you get over there?
  • 13 of 26: By using the beams spanning the room, you should arrive on a platform on the opposite side of the room.
  • 14 of 26: The only thing here that you can use is a curtain.  Any ideas on how you can use it?
  • 15 of 26: Jump onto the curtain and ride it down.
  • 16 of 26: You'll get to a platform directly below the one you jumped from.
  • 17 of 26: There's a beam attached to this platform, too.  Start across it.
  • 18 of 26: On the platform (second story, over the left chasm, back of the room), look for a short beam you can jump onto.
  • 19 of 26: The beam is jutting out the wall near the gap between platforms -- just like the bars from before.  The strategy's the same.
  • 20 of 26: Climb onto the first beam and jump to the second.  From the second, jump towards the wall, hitting the Jump button just as you hit the wall in order to wall jump back towards the beam directly above the one you just leapt from.  Climb on top of the upper beam and jump to the next platform.
  • 21 of 26: Just like on the other side of the room, you once again have access to the third story beams crossing the room.  Jump onto the nearest one.
  • 22 of 26: As you start to cross the beam, notice that the "bar switch" you need to pull is here.
  • 23 of 26: When the beam diverges near the "bar switch," turn off and jump straight up to grab the switch.
  • 24 of 26: The door opens.  Now you have to get down there...alive.
  • 25 of 26: There's a curtain directly in front of you.  Sliding down that should slow your descent enough for you to survive the fall.
  • 26 of 26: You can either swing on the "bar switch" you're hanging from or drop to the beam and jump towards the curtain.  Slide all the way down and pass through the door.
