The next passage has Corrupted air. You have to act fast. Wall run on your right when the blob is passing the middle – either up or down. Press red on the ring and somewhat further jump off to the first hanging column.
Jump to the left wall and do the same until you hang on the second column. Jump to the right wall avoiding the crawling blob, wall run and jump off to the second ledge. The air is good.


Quickly jump and run between the walls to a safe ledge

 

Jump past the two hanging columns in Corrupted air to the third safe ledge.


To the third safe ledge

 

Prince: When you become Queen you should fill in some of the holes round here. Or you’ll go through servants faster than a cannibal’s picnic.
Elika: They don’t have manners and tact where you come from, do they?
Prince: Seriously though... how did you ever get around this Palace?
Elika: With corridors and bridges. The Palace has been falling into ruins. But it’s the Corruption that’s done this.
Prince: Yeah. Having a King, always felt funny to me, choosing your leader by who happens to be your parents.
Elika: How are the leaders chosen where you come from?
Prince: It’s much more civilized. They either kill someone, or they pay enough powerful people enough money to buy the job.
Elika: You’re right. We are the funny ones.
Prince: Where are the Royal Apartments?
Elika: We don’t need to go there, there isn’t a Fertile Ground in the Apartments.
Prince: Pity, could’ve been an interesting tour.
Elika: You can help yourself to anything you want after this is done. Go ahead, pick the Kingdom clean, there’s hardly anything left anyway.

Pass through the opening and jump over the gap. The Fertile Ground is on your right.


Notice a Yellow Plate hanging on the near wall

 

Elika: If we can make the jump to that Plate that would lead us over.

Jump to the Plate and wall run up. You’ll be launched for quite a wild flight. First avoid the lit cages hanging above the Fertile Ground by steering with LAS.


Avoid the cages above the Fertile Ground

 

Fly outside through a hole in the wall.


Through the hole

 

Once outside the Palace avoid a number of pillars and obstacles by steering left and right.


Avoid the obstacles

 

Then you will enter the Fertile Ground again, apparently through another hole in the wall.


Back to the Fertile Ground through a hole

 

When you land on the Ground, The Concubine appears and traps Elika again with black Corruption.


Elika is trapped again

 

Concubine: The last of the Ahura, their Queen comes to die in the Hall of Coronation. It’s almost a waste of the irony for it to fall on such a humorless people.

The Concubine is always shifting place. You must run to her and strike her with the sword once. Do this a couple of times and she’ll lure you into a side room.

Concubine: And I shall take her place Queen of the Ahura – from light, darkness. And you, mu brave little man, with me as Queen. What of you. From Courtesan to Queen, my parents would be so proud.

Strike her in this side room and a door on your left will slide open. The bitch goes on:


In pain, Princess? I can end your suffering, as I seek to end mine

 

Look down to the slopes and get ready for a free roller coaster ride.


A spiral of slopes

 

Slide down and jump between the gaps to next slopes until you hang on a column.


Sliding from the slopes to a column

 

Jump backwards to your next series of slopes. Slide down and jump from slope to slope until you end on another column. Jump backwards to a third series of slopes until you'll end up in a trench with a vertical narrow shaft on one of the walls.


Your next series of slopes goes to a trench

 

Climb up the narrow shaft and wall run to your left. Jump off to the fourth set of slopes, slide down and jump over the gaps until you reach a lower room.


The next ride will bring you down into a room

 

Concubine: You do not know the pain I suffered to get here. The things I would do to remain.

She’ll appear behind you. One more stroke sets Elika free. The Concubine disappears – for now.


Let’s get out of here

 

Use the ring to wall run up to the platform above the door. From here plan your next moves.


Climb up to the platform

 

Jump to the sliding ring and press red to continue to the gear mechanism. A ledge with a grated wall part will lower. Jump off to the wall, climb up and pull up to the ledge.


From the sliding ring to the lowered ledge

 

The Concubine is standing on a higher opposite ledge:

Oh, no, now you’re down there, you’re not coming out.

She throws some Corruption at The Prince and Elika that takes the shape of a black raven.


Corrupted bird shapes

 

Prince: We’re going to have to move fast to dodge those things.
Elika: Don’t worry about me, just go.
Prince: You know... now I think she’s really trying to kill us.

Jump to the pole and wall run to the next pole. The Corrupted ravens will follow you to the next ledge.


Via the poles to the next ledge

 

Use the ring to climb up higher. From this ledge you see three hanging columns.


On the higher ledge

 

Jump to the first column and with Elika’s help to the next two columns. Climb up the third one.


Jump to the columns

 

Wait for the first blob to go down past the ring and the second to go up. Jump backwards and wall run past the ring to a sliding ring. Press red to continue and jump off to the column in front of the Fertile Ground. Climb up high enough.


To the column in front of the Fertile Ground

 

Jump to the Fertile Ground and begin your battle with The Concubine. She constantly changes color:

-         red: press red

-         blue: pres blue

-         black: press yellow

Make extended combos with Elika.


Scenes from the battle

 

When she has no powers left she will disappear with her famous sarcasm:
She’s infected you deep, so deep you don’t even know your own mind.
Prince (to Elika): I’m sorry.
Elika: She’s very convincing, anyone would’ve fallen for her act.
Prince: Let’s get out of here. Nice cage.
Elika: The Concubine’s work. She tortured the King of the Ahura here and made him her toy when she was Mistress here. The cage was kept to remind us of the Ahura’s suffering.

Lead Elika into the beam of blue light and start the incredible process of healing by repeatedly pressing yellow.


This Land is being healed!

 

The Prince reaches out his hand to Elika:


Those things she set on us...

 

Elika: We will have to face them again. The Concubine too.

Get an Autosave.

Set the destination on the Map to Royal Spire, the last Land that needs to be healed in this area. Then let Elika show the path with a Light Flare.


Next destination: Royal Spire


Elika’s Flare shows the path

 

Use the yellow Plate to return to the previous ledge.


Return to the smaller ledge

 

In front you see the Black Gate leading to Palace Rooms. You’ll return here after having healed Royal Spire. Turn right and jump to the ledge outside.


Turn right and jump to the ledge leading outside

 

Wall run, jump to the perpendicular wall and press red on the ring. Continue around the corner and jump off to the next ledge.


Past the ring to the next ledge

 

Jump past two hanging columns to a third one and jump backwards for a wall run.


Jump to the wall from the third column

 

Wall run and jump off to the third ledge. From here you see three hanging columns with some Light Seeds on the roof. Jump to the first and climb up.


The third ledge


On top of the first column

 

Roof run past the rings to the second column and from there to the third. Behind you is the border platform with the black flame of evil. You’re already in Corrupted air.


On the third column

 

Roof run further until you drop to the platform. Fight the balloon head.
