Level
2:
THE
WORLD MAP
We’ll
now find the Prince and his Princess in one of their endless discussions (what
else are men and women spending their precious time with – especially
Royalties?).
A discussion outside the
Prince:
Any more of your relatives going to try
and kill us? Or is it just your Father who wants the end of the world?
Elika:
Do you think I wanted any of this!?
Prince:
Well, what do we do now? Presuming the
Great God of Darkness doesn’t just squish us flat...
Elika:
He can’t have escaped yet. Not fully.
The Temple
must still have the power to contain him. Something happened to the Fertile
Grounds. If we can get to them we might be able to stop Ahriman escaping.
The Fertile what?
Elika:
This land was build to keep Ahriman here.
These areas feed the
Elika shows the Prince some kind of a floor Map
Prince:
We have to get out of here.
Elika:
Fine, run, but you’re not going to get
very far.
Prince:
Arhhh! I was on my way home! I had more
Gold than you could...
I’d have wine! Women! If ever I find that Donkey...
I’d have Carpets this thick...THIS
thick!!
Now
I’m stuck with and angry God and a crazy woman! [that’s
not a nice thing to say, man, after all she did to rescue you from dropping
dead]
All
right, which one of these things do we need to...
do whatever to?
Elika
is standing on the Map:
We
can’t reach the Fertile Grounds in these areas. We’d need to...
we can’t
reach them anyway...
We’ll have to get to these four. Then we can see
what’s...
Now
press / to open the World Map:
Welcome
to the Map Tutorial
You
will only see the Map Tutorial once. It will explain you about the layout and
how to set a destination. Press green for the next picture:
The
locked Lands
You
can see a blue ring flickering around the Lands that are yet locked. You will
need to activate a Power at the
The
four Powers at the
Each
of these four Lands have a Power to be found. But they are only accessible when
Elika has enough Light Seeds. Each Power activates a specific kind of Power
Plate that is needed to access certain locked Lands. Press green to
continue:
You
need to choose a destination
As you can see, there are four destinations you can choose from. Press green to continue:
Move
the green circle with LAS
The
Game is not linear from here on, so you can select any of the four Lands.
Let’s follow from left to right. Move the green circle around the left one of
the four unlocked Lands. Press green:
Highlight
any unlocked destination
Press green to set your destination
The
Land of your destination is now radiating.
Exit the World map by pressing /.
The
Prince and Elika are standing on the Map and you are urged to press yellow
to see the path to your destination.
Press
yellow now
Elika
will throw a white flair that shows the path to your destination (Autosave).
Open the World Map again to study more details. Press /:
Find
details on the Map
The
Map looks more detailed now and from now on this is how it will look. In the
panel on the right you can read the specs of your destination. The land is
called King’s Gate and is one of
the 6 Lands that constitute the Ruined
Citadel.
You
need no Power to enter it.
You’ve found 0/45 Light Seeds in the Ruined Citadel.
The status is corrupted, meaning its Fertile Grounds are not restored yet.
You need to collect 60 Light Seeds required for the next Power.
You
can also highlight other Lands and find out what they’re called. Highlight the
other three accessible lands:
The
Vale – The Cauldron
Royal Palace – The Cavern
City of
So
now you know the names of the four main areas. From left to right:
Ruined Citadel
The Vale
Next,
learn some more of the locked Lands. Move up the circle and highlight the next
Land of the Ruined Citadel:
Ruined
Citadel – The
In
the right panel you can see a lock. The Power you need to entering is Step
of Ormazd.
Highlight this Power at the
Elika’s
Power - Step of Ormazd
When
you highlight the Power, the Map will also show the Lands that require this
Power for entering. There are four of them: two in the Ruined Citadel and two in
The Vale.
You
may explore more and find out which Power is required for accessing each Land...
Follow the path and have another of these endless
discussions with hers when you will be asked to (pres LT when you see the talk
sign).
Prince:
There’s nothing here for us.
Elika:
We must get to the Fertile Grounds. We are
wasting time.
Prince:
What are these Fertile Grounds?
Elika:
They feed
the Temple. Give it the Energy it needs to hold Ahriman trapped. I don’t know. They were
constructed a thousand years ago after Ahriman was imprisoned. Now if you want
the guide tour, can we wait until after we’ve re-imprisoned Ahriman?
Prince:
You don’t know what will these Fertile
Grounds do?
Elika:
We have to get to them, please just go on.
Prince:
Have you got a Plan B in case this
doesn’t work?
Elika:
I’ve not got to Plan A yet.
Prince:
Then where are we going?
Elika:
To find Plan A.
Prince:
Ahriman, can’t we just kill him?
Elika:
He’s a God...
Prince:
How long have we got?
Elika:
If the Tree is still holding him...
Hours...
Moments maybe.
A discussion in front of the direction they’ll have to follow
Prince:
Is there anyway out of here?
Elika:
Other than the way we came in?
Prince:
Yes.
Elika:
No, there’s not.
Prince:
Terrific. So what’s with your Father?
Elika:
So what’s with your Donkey?
Prince:
Do you know how hard it is to find a good
Donkey? Good Donkeys are hard to find.
Elika:
I’m beginning to worry about you and
your Donkey.
And
the soap goes on...
Prince:
If Ahriman is trapped, how can we hear
him?
Elika:
He’s not escaped, what we see and hear
of him...
That’s just the little that can be heard through the prison bars.
Prince:
So you lived here?
Elika:
Yes, lived, grew up, it has been my life.
Prince:
If you are a Princess...
where are all
your people? Was it Ahriman, have they been turned into those Monsters?
The Prince needs answers
They
left
Prince:
Where did they go?
Elika: Beyond...
Into the desert.
Prince:
You don’t know, do you?
Elika:
They deserted their duty. They left the
thing they’d pledged their lives to.
Prince:
These people that left, that had pledged
their lives, they came here, or they were born here?
Elika:
The Temple
is the duty of our people.
Prince:
How can you pledge your life to something
if you don’t know anything else? That’s not a choice.
Prince:
Let Ahriman free, or protect the world
from him...
You’re right: there is no choice. Why are you doing this?
Elika:
What?
Prince:
Helping me? Because there’s no way to
get out of here...
Elika:
Why “are” you doing this? It’s not,
you’re not doing this for me, are you? I’ve seen you looking at me. I
recognize
that look.
Prince:
Hey, you’re cute, but not stay to fight
a dark God cute.
Elika:
Would you have helped my Father if he had
asked you?
Prince:
He’s not that cute either [Sorry,
gays!]
Elika:
I just want to know that I can rely on
you. People can...
Well they can...
Prince:
And you have a lot of experience with
people?
Elika:
I have experience of men doing stupid
things for women.
Prince:
Well, I only do stupid things for myself.
You’re an attractive Lady. [here we go again]
Elika:
I’ve got a brain too [typical answer
of a flattered girl]
Prince:
It’s a pity you’re wasting both.
Elika:
And you’re the person to lecture me on
that?
Prince:
I have looks and brains then do I?
Elika:
One rely on too much, the other you
don’t use at all [ouch!]
Prince:
There’s nothing wrong with good looks? [we’ve
seen better, mate, but you’re looking OK]
Elika:
Gold Glitters, but it’s what you buy
with it that counts.
Prince:
What have I got myself into?
Now
run left of the door with the two golden pillars.
Run to this entrance
And watch Elika turn electric blue in
the Prince’s arms
Watch
a similar vision like we’ve seen at the beginning of this Story:
The white Tree...
...turns black!
Fragments
of bones will become visible and Elika and the Prince will suddenly be
“beamed” to another place.
Beam us up, Scotty
Did they land on another place?
Prince:
Can this day get any worse?
Elika:
They’re the corrupted. Ahriman’s
chosen few. They ruled here a thousand years ago.
Prince: That thing we saw, the Darkness that was...
That was
Ahriman
You
must exhaust a new conversation (repeatedly pressing LT). You’ll see a talking
sign appearing in the lower left corner. Then press LT:
Notice the talking sign
Prince:
What was that...
A dream? That thing we
saw, the Darkness that was...
Elika:
That was Ahriman [haven’t we just
heard that before?]
Prince:
If we saw Ahriman in the Vision, doesn’t
that mean it’s him creating them?
Elika:
It wasn’t Ahriman. This is Ormazd’s
power. It is the Temple, protecting itself.
Prince:
Is that thing we fought in the
Elika:
No, it was a Soldier of Ahriman. Some were
trapped with him when he fell.
Prince:
How many Soldiers is ‘some’?
Elika:
No one knows. Some Scriptures talk of
Ahriman falling with the four Corrupted and a thousand Followers.
Prince:
Let’s hope they’re off by a few
hundred. Do the Corrupted know where we’re going?
Elika:
The Corrupted lived here when Ahriman
conquered the City, but the Fertile Grounds weren’t here then. The Ahura built
them to contain Ahriman.
Prince:
This would be the Ahriman we could hear in
the Temple? They know where we’re going. What are these Corrupted?
Elika:
Ahriman’s chosen. They sold their Soul
to him in return for rewards. They will fight for him, they will fight to be
free.
Prince:
The Corrupted sold their Souls. What’s
the going rate? [now isn’t this funny?]
Elika:
Most who stood against him were killed or
turned into the Creatures we’ve seen. Even some of those who sold themselves
into service just because of some Ahriman’s Creatures. The Corrupted were
different, they retained some of their free will. Some of their Soul and Ahriman
gave them powers to fight for his cause.
Prince:
The Corrupted are free?
Elika:
They are still the person they were, at
least somewhere inside they are but they are all Ahriman Puppets.
Five
more Levels will now follow: the four main Areas and Elika’s Powers.
Each of the four main Areas has 12 Sublevels (the 6 Lands and their 6 Light
Seeds). The sequence is randomly chosen by myself which I thought of as the most
logical. If you decide to choose a different sequence this Walkthrough will be
partly matching your Game. If you want to play and also read the Walkthrough,
you are invited to follow this sequence.
The Prince and Elika are standing by the Entrance to The King’s Gate...

Entrance to the Ruined Citadel
