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
