Level 1:
THE TREE TEMPLE

Part Two:
AHRIMAN’S PRISON

If you saved your Game at the end of Part One of this Sublevel your load will resume from this point.
When loading the Game you will see the following message appearing:
USE ELIKA’S MAGIC ATTACKS IN BETWEEN SWORD ATTACKS TO CHAIN LONGER COMBOS. USE THE COMBO TREE AND COMBO LIST IN THE PAUSE MENU TO SEE WHICH BRANCHINGS ARE POSSIBLE.
This advice will be highly needed in this part!

Run to the stairs and keep following Elika.

Run up the stairs behind Elika

Left of the blue entrance door Elika now climbs the wall.

Erika runs up to the left wall

Prince: What are you doing up there?
Jump on to the wall and run up to the fissure. Vault up to the next fissure (LAS up + green). This fissure is L-shaped. Shimmy right and LAS up to highest spot of vertical leg. Then jump to the upper ledge.

Get to the highest point of the vertical leg

Prince: What’s in the Temple ?
Elika: Get that around and just push .
Press red to take hold of the crank. Elika also holds the crank and now us LAS to both rotate the crank that opens the blue Gates.

Get both hold of the crank

Rotate the crank and open the blue Gates

Press red again to let go of the crank.
Elika: I can’t see anyone following... we should hurry.

Hang from the ledge and press RT to gripfall down the wall. Repeat with each fissure until you’re both on the ground again.

Getting safely down

Before entering a discussion goes on between the Prince and the Princess.
Prince: Well, if there’s no Gold why’s this place so secure?
Elika: It’s the Prison that holds Ahriman.
Prince: Ahriman the big bad God of Darkness? Kills people? Destroys Cities? Scares the naughty children?
Elika: Unless you want to see lots of dead naughty children, you’ll help me fix this.

Now enter the Temple through the open door. You will see a light coming through the ceiling. Run all the way to the end of the hallway and jump onto the wall to activate the ring that opens the brown doors.
Elika will help you with her weight (she’s so loyal!).

Opening the brown Gates

At the edge of this ledge look around and notice some weird white tree, a blue ray pointing up and various blue rings on the wall.
Prince: Where is Ahriman?
Elika: Under this Seal.

The view from the edge

Descend from the ramp on your right.  Once they’re standing before the white tree Elika wants the Prince to leave now:
Thank you for helping me reach here, but now you should go.
Prince: You want me to just go like –
But suddenly on the higher ledge the man in black assisted by two armed Guards appears:

Elika!

Prince: Get Back! I’ve got this...
But the man jumps down: I cannot lose you again.
Elika: Father, no! I beg of you.
Prince: Father?

A fierce battle will follow

Tactics will be explained but it is not that hard to beat the old man. But just before dying he cuts the white tree with his sword.

No Father, no!!

Now all hell breaks lose. The Prince takes Elika by the arm:
Let’s get out of here.
Elika’s Father released Ahriman who was captured in the white tree and now turns into a black cloud of evil. The whole place is rumbling and breaking into pieces...
But suddenly on the broken ledge they are facing some horrible black monster appearing in front of them.
Prince: Who are these creatures?
Elika: The Soldiers of Ahriman!
Prince: I think we need a better plan.

Meet one of Ahriman’s Soldiers

Elika will help the Prince with this really hard battle (press orange and when Elika attacks use green to get the Soldier’s life meter down. Unfortunately it will gradually keep increasing. Use blocking, jumping attacks … and when the beast gets you on the floor or against a wall press red to have Elika blow him away.

Without Elika you wouldn’t stand a chance

You can either defeat this Creature but also push him down from the ledge.
Elika: Ahriman’s escaping!
Then you must get out of the Temple . You’ll have to go down and continue the battle with more of Ahriman’s Soldiers (when you’re lucky, you’ll only meet one more). Then you’ll have to jump from ledge to ledge, do wall runs... because everything is breaking into pieces here.
Elika: We’ll have to get out of here!

A lot of jumping to do

Return up to the ramp and find a ring to open the door you came into.

Reopen this door and get the hell out of here

Jump past al the falling rubbish.

Run and jump

To perform your last jump to the exit door of this Temple jump and press yellow to cover a longer distance (remember this).

Inside Ahriman says:

I am the Darkness, I am your end. You shall watch the ending of the Light!

Once outside the Prince bumps against some kind of coffin.

And the front gates are closing again
