SPIRE OF DREAMS

Walk to the end of the protruding narrow beam pointing to the bridge inside the Corruption. Jump with Elika’s help to the narrow bridge and go to the end.


The end of the bridge

 

Your next moves seem clear. Jump to the wall with Elika’s help, wall run left and jump off to the column.


On the column

 

Jump backwards to a protruding narrow beam.


The narrow beam protruding from a ledge

 

Turn right and jump from the next protruding narrow beam to a higher ledge past two columns.


Two columns and a ledge

 

The jump to the second column is with Elika’s help. Climb up high.


On the second column

 

Jump to the ledge. It gives access to what seems a room.

The Prince starts a conversation with Elika:


Now this looks more like a Royal Palace

 

Elika: The Spire of Dreams – It was built for a Queen two, three hundred years ago. The last part of the Palace, of the City to be completed. It was a tribute to the Queen from her King. A Spire of Dreams, a place to look into the future.
Prince: Can you tell the future in this place? That would come in handy.
Elika: It’s symbolic. The Spire is to show what you can achieve if you dream. My Mother used to tell me what ever I dreamed of here would come through.
Prince: What did you dream of?
Elika: The usual childish things.
Prince: No come on. I want to know, what did you dream of?
Elika: Far off places. There were merchants that came here, fewer and fewer over time. They’d bring things, dresses, spices, plants. They’d look so different from the people here, smell different. If I closed my eyes and breathed them in I could see where they came from, hear the sounds in those streets...
Prince: Now, you can go to those places, if you want. I’ll take you there.
Elika: Sure.

Go inside, turn left and jump to the pole. Notice that the air is Corrupted.


Jump to the pole in Corrupted air

 

Move fast here. Jump to the wall, wall run to the right and jump off to a narrow beam in front of a wall.


On the narrow beam

 

Wall run up to the ledge. Elika:


The Spire of Dreams

 

Prince: Yeah? And here is me hoping I’ll wake up from all this.
Elika: It was beautiful. I used to play here as a child, sometimes I’d spend the night at the top.
Prince: Where you as serious then as you are now?
Elika: Dreams were all I had time for. The Fertile Ground is at the top. We can use that Plate to get to the next level where a mechanism will allow us to go further.

Go left and wall run to the blue Plate when the blob is in the middle and moving up.


Wall run NOW!


On the blue Plate

 

You’ll be pulled to a wall. Wall run, press red on the ring and run to the second blue Plate.


To the second blue Plate

 

That Concubine bitch is babbling in the background:
Welcome to my Spire of Dreams. A place to foretell the future, a place of love. Welcome to my Spire.

Next you’re pulled to another wall. Wall run to your right past two rings to a third blue Plate.


To the third Plate

 

Finally you’re pulled to a higher floor.


Hit the upper floor

 

Elika: There. That mechanism will take us to the next floor of the tower.

Go inside the elevator on your right.  Press red to hold the crank and turn it three times counter-clockwise. You’ll reach the next floor.


Ride the elevator

 

Prince: Now this is the life, you should put these in across the rest of the Kingdom.
Elika is then trapped in some Corruption by The Concubine.
Concubine: What have we here? Are they real, or are they a dream?


Go, find her, I’ll follow when I can

 

Turn around and meet that miserable Concubine.


Catch me if you can

 

Strike her with the sword and chase her away.

 

Wall run to a ring, press red and continue the wall run until you jump off to hanging column. Roof run past a ring to the second hanging column. Behind you is a ledge where The Concubine is appearing and disappearing. An illusion? A cat and mouse game, that’s what it seems.


To the second column

 

Jump off to the wall, wall run and jump off to the ledge. Strike the Concubine and she’ll disappear to the lower ledge near the elevator. Jump down and strike here again. Then Elika will be freed.


Be careful, she’s still around here somewhere

 

You’re back at the same point from where you left the elevator when Elika got trapped. Return to the higher ledge where you met The Concubine. Jump with Elika’s help to the column and climb up.


Jump with Elika’s help to the column and climb up

 

Roof run past a ring to a shorter hanging column. Jump backwards to the wall, wall run past two rings and reach a ledge. Climb up to a higher ledge.

Concubine: What are your dreams, little man? What fantasies can I make true? What desires will you paint upon my canvas?

Face a wall with two crawling blobs going up and down simultaneously with a ring in between. You must wall run to the blue Plate when the blobs are going down.


Prepare a wall run to the blue Plate

 

The Plate will pull you to a next ledge. There are also two blobs going up and down on the left wall. Wall run when they’re going up. Pass a ring (press red) and continue wall running to the second blue Plate.

The Plate will grapple hook you to a pole.
From here on it goes from poles to blue Plates while The Concubine is spitting her gal. Eventually you’ll have to climb up a vertical narrow shaft connecting with a narrow ledge that will bring you to a ledge with another elevator. That should take you to the top.


The final elevator

 

Turn the crank counter-clockwise four times to reach the Fertile Ground.


Use the crank to get up


Here we are, The Concubine’s around here somewhere

 

Then you’ll meet The Concubine for a serious battle. It’s not different from the Soldiers of Ahriman or the previous battles. She turns black and blue like all of them.


Scenes from this battle

 

When The Concubine has lost her powers she’ll disappear.


Your past is nothing. The dream is dead

 

Prince: I’m beginning to feel sorry for Ahriman, I mean he’s been trapped with her for a thousand years... ?

Lead Elika to the blue laser beam and press yellow repeatedly to let her merge with the Magic. Then this wonderful scene will blow your mind:


The healing of the Land!

 

The Prince approaches Elika in the center of the Fertile Ground. She is worn out.


Hey, what she said about the dream being dead...

 

Elika: She’s right. The dream of this place is past.
Prince: You mean you’re giving up?
Elika: No, Ahriman must still be stopped but not for the past.
Prince: You’d better not give up. There’s no way you’re going to look so good if you end up covered in Corruption and spouting stuff about Ahriman.


I look good, huh?

 

Prince: Oh, don’t tell me you don’t know. I’ve never met a beautiful woman who didn’t know she was beautiful.
Elika: And I never met a man who used flattery unless he wanted something.
Prince: You have such a suspicious mind.
Elika: No, I’m just nowhere near as naïve as you think I am.
Prince: Much as I hate to break the dream, how do we get out of here?
Elika: We’ll have to go down the outside of the tower. I think we can get out over there.
Prince: Whoooo, look at that view!
Elika: We haven’t got time to admire the view!
Prince: Hey, it might be the last thing I see, so I might as well enjoy it. Want to go first?


After you

 

Prince: I don’t think you’re naïve.
Elika: Yes, you do. You agree with The Concubine on that.
Prince: Well, that’s the only thing we agree on. I mean I certainly don’t find her attractive.
Elika: Aha.
Prince: Well I don’t. I really don’t find The Concubine attractive.
Elika: And you think I need to know this because?
Prince: Because you obviously don’t believe me.
Elika: I just don’t know why you’re trying to convince me.
Prince: Why would I find her attractive?
Elika: I don’t know.


Get an Autosave here

 

Prince: She’s made out of slime.
Elika: Beauty’s more than skin deep.
Prince: And she’s a lunatic. You’re jealous.
Elika: Of course I am.
Prince: Okay, deny it... But we both know the truth.
Elika: Did you leave anyone behind? On your adventures?
Prince: Well there was a girl in... ah, a wonderful singing voice. Uh... there was another in...
Elika: Anyone you cared about?
Prince: I care about everyone. I’m a caring kind of guy. This place was built for love, huh?
Elika: Not that sort, the sort that lasts.
Prince: People do some crazy things for both.

We’re going to Coronation Hall next. Set that destination on your Map. Let Elika show you the path with a Flare.


Next destination: Coronation Hall


Elika’s Flare shows the way

 

Hang down from the ledge Elika pointed to. Gripfall down and steer with LAS following the visible track until you drop down to a ledge.


Gripfall from here

 

Don’t use the green  Plate, just walk inside. Turn right and jump to the pole. Jump off and wall run to the next pole. Jump to the ledge and turn right. Wall run left and jump off to the hanging column. Jump backwards to the wall on your right and jump to the next hanging column. From here you can already see the border platform with the black flame of evil.


The passage leading to the border platform

 

Jump backwards to the left wall. Wall run and jump off to the third hanging column. Jump backwards to the wall on your right, wall run and jump off to the platform.


The last column before the platform

 

Fight the Soldier of Ahriman.


Scenes from the battle

 

Face the Corruption leading to Coronation Hall.
