Level 1:
THE TREE TEMPLE

Part One:
THE CANYON

 

NOTE:

There are no Light Seeds located in Level 1.

Follow the “mysterious girl through the ravine.


Keep following her

 

At this point you have to press green to jump on to the wall and run along it:


How to start a wall run


Wall run to the other platform

 

Keep exercising the wall run until you reach the opposite platform: the Prince will automatically pull up.

Now try the following new option you have: open the Pause Menu (press \) and select Save Game. How to make a Savegame:


The Pause Menu: select the Save Game tab


The Empty slot

 

Now you should check and load the Game from this point. Go to Pause Menu again and select Quit to Main Menu.

You will be asked if you want to Exit Game. Any unsaved progress will be lost. You can choose between Quit and Continue. Press green to quit.
It will say: Please Wait and then you will return to the Main Menu where you select Load Game.

You will now see the Savegame with the date and hour it was made:


Select this Savegame...


...and load The Canyon

 

You will return to the beginning of the Sublevel. That means there must be Checkpoints where you will return to.

So replay and keep following the runaway girl. You’ll have to do a second wall run to the following platform where the girl is waiting. She runs up to a wall and now you must do the same: press green to jump on to the wall and run up it.

Armed Guards will notice the Prince and say:
She’s up with someone... Who is that?
Hey, you!!

From this point wall run on your right and during the wall run press green to jump from the wall.


Start your wall run here


Press green when told so

 

Then you will land on the opposite lower ledge and see how the girl is surrounded by the two Guards you saw before.


The girl seems threatened by two armed Guards

 

The Prince jumps down:
Hey! There’s no need to get nasty. We can talk about this. OK, so you’re not a conversationalist.
Here you have to learn how to fight:


Press red for Gauntlet attacks


Press blue for Sword attacks

 

Prince: Bet you wish you’d opted for conversation, now don’t you?!
Hold RT to block the enemy’s sword attacks. When you’ve the first Guard has had enough he and the second one get the shivers and run off.
Prince: Yeah, and you can run too.
Now the girl approaches the Prince:


Why are you following me?

 

Prince: I’m not, I’m looking for Farah. I heard you yelling.
Girl: You and your girlfriend should get out of here.
Prince: Girlfriend? Farah’s not my girlfriend. She’s my Donkey.
(NOTE: Farah turned into a Donkey now...?)
Girl: You’re risking your life for a Donkey?
Prince: She’s a good Donkey. That and she’s carrying a King’s Ransom in Gold...
Girl: Just get out of here. If they don’t see you with me you’ll be all right.

She runs off again and jumps from wall to wall to a higher platform:


She runs off between two walls


This girl is a real acrobat

 

Prince: You want to time your advice better next time?

Follow the same climb tactics you saw the girl doing: first jump up twice to the right wall, then jump left-right and jump up twice to reach the upper ledge.

Suddenly a deep voice is heard:
Elika, why do you run from me?
[NOTE: thus the Prince finds out Elika’s name]
Run along the left wall to the ledge where Elika is standing.
From there he will see Elika talking with some kind of Priest and another person who will soon run off.

Turn left and wall run on your right to the next ledge. But this won’t work with one simple run. You need a double run from wall to wall.


Start your wall run from here

 

Somewhere in the middle press green again to jump to the left wall and when you touch it press LAS to reach the opposite ledge.
Higher up a person appears and Elika shouts:


No he’s nothing to do with this, no!

 

At that moment the whole ledge collapses like with an earthquake and the Prince is falling down into a pit followed by two big boulders above his head.


The Prince tumbles down

 

And then this unbelievable Magic appears: Elika suddenly turns vibrating blue, and flies after the falling Prince, grabbing his hand and pulling him up.


Elika turns electric blue


She grabs the Prince’s hand


And she pulls him all the way up

 

Prince: How did you...?
Elika faints though and the Prince takes her in his arms: Whoa, I’ve got you. Guards higher up are shouting: They're moving!


The Prince carries Elika around the passage

 

At the other end Elika wakes up:


You really can put me down now

 

On the opposite side an armed Guard commands: Release her!
Prince: I’ve lost my Donkey, fallen down a cliff and had a rock dropped on me. I am not in a good mood.
The fight with this Guard will be given hints and eventually he will run off too.
Elika was watching this from the ledge above.
Prince: Do you think you’re up to running? Well where is that Temple?
Elika: You go, I’ll follow.
From this moment on Elika is the Prince’s right hand, assistant and Guardian Angel. She will follow and help him everywhere with her magical powers.
Before going any further press LT to talk to Elika.
She shows a ledge and says:


We need to go this way

 

Prince: Do you often drop out of the sky on to men? I mean you’re a good looking girl and everything, obviously pretty high maintenance, but you shouldn’t need to go. Throwing yourself off cliffs onto men. How can you suddenly develop powers from nowhere?
Elika: I don’t know. No one’s had these powers for centuries. I don’t know why I was chosen.

Climb the ledge Elika has pointed and she will follow you. There are a number of jumps from ledge to ledge and wall runs to do. Whenever the Prince takes a wrong move and is about to drop dead Elika will turn electric blue again and pull him out.


Elika is the Guardian Angel of the Prince of Persia!

 

After a few more ledges you’ll meet another Guard down below addressing himself to the Prince:
Hey, stop there, we mean you no harm. You will not stand between us and the Princess!
Prince: What Princess? (turning to Elika) Are you a Princess?


The Prince is completely astonished

 

Fight the Guard and the man we saw in the Intro is appearing on a higher ledge:


Elika! It is finished! You cannot return!

 

He goes on: Why do you run? There is nowhere to go!
Prince to Elika: This guy doesn’t give up. I hope you’re good with heights.
You’re both standing on a high ledge. Hang from the ledge and press RT to grip fall down the wall.


This way you won’t get hurt

 

Elika: The Temple, there. Under the tree.
She runs off to the entrance.
Prince: You guys worship a tree?


Elika runs to the Temple’s entrance


The Temple under a giant tree

 

Part Two:
AHRIMAN’S PRISON
