THE OBSERVATORY

 

You’re back on the Fertile Ground of Heaven’s Stair. Approach the Black Gate.


The Black Gate on the Fertile Ground

 

Elika: Are you ready?
Prince: For what? He’s come pretty close to killing both of us so far.
Elika: He knows the Corruption and his Land better than the others... his knowledge will help little where we go now.
Prince: He knows this Land?
Elika: The Alchemist lived here, he was an Ahura. Until his quest for immortality overtook him...


Now, we must take the thing he sold his soul to keep

 

Prince: You know for a delicate flower of a Princess... you’ve got a ruthless side.

Elika walks closer to the Gate and applies her Magic Powers to destroy it.

You get an Autosave.

This Plate will finally catapult you to a circular platform. Pull up.


Your wildest ride ends at a platform

 

Approach the center of the platform. The Alchemist takes shape.

Prince: I guess it’s time to find out if you really are immortal.
Alchemist: Life is not yours to take, but I could give it to you.
Prince: Hey, I’m a legend. I’ll live forever anyway... wow that sounded better in my head than out loud.


Start the final battle

 

This fight also comes in stages. Here on this platform you have plenty of room for combos. When the Alchemist has lost about half of his energy he will leave the scene.


Get him halfway down

 

Something is shifting the platforms.
Prince: You’re looking pretty scared for an immortal! We’ve got to chase him now don’t we? He’s not going to make it easy when we corner him.
(To Elika): Where’s he gone?
Elika: I don’t know. Maybe the Fertile Ground? I think it is above the Observatory. But it has been inaccessible ever since the Ahura lost our Powers.


Does The Alchemist have the Ahura’s Powers?

 

Elika: He did, they were taken from him when he turned to Ahriman.
Prince: I can see how he lost his, what did the rest of you do that was so naughty?
Elika: I told you, our Powers have faded over time.
Prince: The...
Elika: There are Power Plates to take us further. Let’s use them.

Wall run up to the first red Plate and get on your way.


Start from the first red Plate

 

Get pitched at the second red Plate.


To the second Plate

 

This Plate delivers you to a higher platform with a Soldier of Ahriman: a balloon head on spiky legs.


To the platform with a balloon head Soldier

 

You learned enough combos to pierce a sword into his head.

Get hurled at a small high platform.


To the highest platform

 

Prince: Whoa, this... this is high.
Elika:


Then stay away from the edge

 

The Alchemist is taking shape on this platform.

Prince: He’s not going to make it that easy.

The Alchemist hasn’t got much of his stamina left. Beat him up.


The end of a Corrupted Alchemist

 

Elika: Quickly!

She runs to the dying Alchemist. The scene is almost pathetic.


I will not die.

 

Elika: Maybe, but you won’t live forever.

The Alchemist is absorbed by a devouring light. Somehow I almost feel sympathy for him.


The death struggle of The Alchemist

 

After The Alchemist is consumed by the light, Elika and the Prince are lying knocked out on the floor. You’ve earned 25 extra Light Seeds though.

Elika is waking up:


I told you to stay away from the edge...

 

Prince: Maybe, but you won’t live forever? Well you told him. How’s that for immortality?! Now which one of us is going to live forever?

The platform is collapsing. Elika is helping the Prince up to a ledge.


Can you learn to keep your mouth shut?

 

Prince: Let’s go down from here.
Elika: Good idea.


Your Game gets an Autosave

 

The way out of here is another wild trip past many red and green Plates. Wall run the first one – a red Plate.


Wall run to Plate #1 (red)

 

Start off to a yellow balloon. Wall run left past two rings each time pressing red and reach Plate #2 (red).

From here the ride goes to Plate #11 on a wall.


To Plate #11 on the wall

 

This Plate finally drops you down the Fertile Ground below the blue balloon.


Land safely on the Fertile Ground

 

Prince: What were the chances of that? How did we hit that platform? How did we get out of there alive? Don’t say it was Ormazd.
Elika: I was going to say I got lucky.
Prince: You got lucky? Hey, Princess, I’m the one that brings you luck. I’m the lucky one.


You lost a Donkey’s worth of gold...

 

...fell into a celestial war and you still want to call yourself lucky?


I’m still alive... What about The Alchemist? Did we kill him?

 

Elika points at the Prince’s sword:
Can you see anyone surviving that?
Prince: Well, if we throw the lock on Ahriman, then none of them are escaping. Let’s put the Dark God back in jail.
Elika: If we are to proceed, we must go to the Temple.

You have now collected 551/540 Lights Seeds. Open the Map to confirm.


Your current position and specs on the Map

 

Elika now has enough Light Seeds for another Power. Highlight Hand of Ormazd on the Map. You “only” need 540 Light Seeds to acquire the Power.
