Sublevel 6
ROYAL SPIRE

Continue along the passage with three hanging columns and some ceiling rings. Wall run left or right and jump off to the first column. The black ravens will surround you. Climb all the way up to the ceiling.

Start off here to the first column

On top of the first column

Roof run past three rings to the second column. Continue roof running past two rings until you drop to a clean ledge. Enter the round tower with a central mechanism.

The next ledge and the round tower

Prince: We need to go up the inside, or the outside of this tower?
Elika: The inside. It leads up to the floor where my father held his Court.

I’m guessing the Concubine doesn’t use this place as a Court

Elika: She did. She held a mock Court here, prisoners made puppets to woo her, carry out her whims and face her wrath.

Look left of the central mechanism. Two blobs crawl up and down simultaneously on the wall. In between them is a vertical narrow shaft connecting with a narrow ledge.

The blobs on the left wall

Wall run to the vertical narrow shaft when both blobs are going down. The Corrupted particles will attack, so hurry up climbing to the corner and shimmy right preparing a new wall run when meantime the second blob is going up.

Prepare a wall run past the second blob

Wall run past the blob and jump off to a hanging column. Jump to the next ledge. Look up at the central mechanism. A blue Plate is constantly shifting with a blind panel.

The blue Plate

The blind panel

Prince: Hmmm, the Plate’s active but we’re going to have to time it right to use it.
Elika: There were stairs here.
Prince: There aren’t now, we’re going to have to do this the hard way.

Jump and wall run to the ledge under the turning panel.

To the ledge under the Plate

Prince: We’ve got to climb all the way up this haven’t we?
Elika: There’s a mechanism partway up that will take us to the top.
Prince: I’ll go first, but, hey, no staring at my ass. I’ve felt you looking.
Elika: I thought you’d lost your ass.
Prince: Donkey.

The Prince walks to the Plate:

I can feel you looking.

Elika: Just climb the tower.
Prince: So, this will be where you rule from, Princess?
Elika: This is my Father’s Court. This is his Land.
Prince: Unless you rebuild those stairs, or your Father grows wings, he’s not going to be doing much ruling from here.
Elika: It is time for change. He spent too long locked within these walls, worrying over the people, mourning my Mother. The Seat of Power must move to among the people, not above them.
Prince: It’s an impressive place.
Elika: Hmpf, it’s a Prison. All the time we thought we were keeping Ahriman in Prison... we were chained with him. I always loved this place, I thought we were free. My Father always did his best for the people, but we were as trapped as Ahriman.

When the blind panel has just turned away to reveal the blue Plate jump and wall run up to the Plate. Press yellow to activate a grapple hook.

Run up to the Plate

Get pulled away by the grapple hook

Reach the second Plate. The Concubine is already talking to herself:
Welcome to my Court. Do you come seeking favors or forgiveness? A blessing? Or something more.
Get pulled to a hanging column.

On the first column

With some of the next jumps you have to use Elika’s help. If you miss, you’ll start over from the first Plate and Elika will say:
We’ll have to use the columns in between to get from Plate to Plate.
Jump backwards and wall run to the third Plate.

To the third Plate

Concubine: Speak to me, entreat me, beg, beg for your desires, fear my anger, please my whims.
The Plate will bring you to a second hanging column. Jump backwards, wall run and jump off to the third column.
Jump backwards from the column and wall run until you jump off to the fourth column.

To the fourth column

Jump backwards and wall run to the fourth Plate.

To the fourth Plate

This will drop you to a ledge. Turn right and notice there is a blue Plate on a moving shutter.

The shutter with the fifth Plate

When the shutter closes revealing the blue Plate jump with Elika's help to the wall and run up to the Plate.

With Elika’s help to the Plate

You’ll hit the sixth Plate that will pull you away.

The sixth Plate

On your way

When you reach the next ledge request Elika’s help for a safe landing.

Land on the ledge with Elika’s help

From the ledge you can see the seventh Plate.

The seventh Plate

Walk on the protruding narrow beam and jump with Elika’s help to the wall. Wall run to the Plate.

With Elika’s help to the Plate

Get pulled in the air and reach a hanging column, again with Elika’s help.

To the hanging column

Jump backwards with Elika’s help and wall run to Plate #8 on your right.

With Elika’s help to Plate #8

This will pull you off and let you hit a wall with Elika’s help. Wall run to Plate #9.

With Elika’s help to the 9^th Plate

Then you’ll wall run to Plate #10 that will pull you to a balcony.

To the balcony past plate #10

Phew... what a ride! Pull up, turn right and look at an elevator with a crank. Elika:

There, that mechanism will take us to the top.

Jump to the elevator platform and grab the crank (red). Turn counter-clockwise.

Rotate counter-clockwise

Prince: You and your Father used to wind yourself up and down here?

Elika: The Guards did.
Prince: Yeah, if I was, Royalty, I’d get people to wind me up and down too amongst other things.

Turn counter-clockwise three more times. You’ll reach the Fertile Ground. When you enter Elika will be trapped in the Concubine’s Corruption.

Prepare for another battle with The Concubine

Elika is trapped in Corruption

When you can have your Queen?

The bitch is meaner than ever. With well planned combos you’ll get her down, but it takes a long time. Elika is released during the fight.

Scenes from the battle

...And she sure hates losing:

You’re such a disappointment

Prince: What is she, my mother?

She’s not coming back to this place.

Lead Elika to the blue Laser beam and press yellow to let her merge with the Powers of Ormazd.

Lead Elika into the beam of light

Press yellow repeatedly and watch this awesome spectacle:

The healing of the Land!

Prince: Princess against fake Queen, the Princess is the winner.
Elika: What is it that you want?
Prince: Huh?
Elika: She offered you your dreams.
Prince: Sure, and how long would that have lasted? I just want to get out of here. I want to find my Donkey and I want to go home. Things to be as they were. We can’t go back the way we came, we’ll need to find another way.
Elika: The third Gate has opened. We can purge this land from another Corrupted.

Get an Autosave

Prince: Let’s go the Gate then. How do we get out of here?
Elika: We can’t reach the mechanism. We’ll have to go down the outside of the tower.
Prince: And if we can’t we plummet. Briefly relive our lives and then come to a sudden jolting stop.
Elika: You must have been really good for morale on your treasure trips.
Prince: What was she going on about, being a Queen?
Elika: She was never a Queen. She was more... a “Lady of particular favors”.
Prince: Sounded like she thought she was a Queen.
Elika: She’s insane, you honestly expect sense? She was right about one thing though. You could be something else. Something other than you are.

Hey, I’m happy with who I am.

Elika: You’re avoiding who you are. That’s different.
Prince: I won’t be anyone else.
Elika: You don’t know who you are. You hide away behind witty retorts, constantly change companions so you don’t have to get close... What are you afraid of... ?
Prince: She’s getting under your skin... you shouldn’t let her.

Set the controls back to Coronation Hall. You’re heading to the Black Gate to Palace Rooms for a final meeting with The Concubine. Engage...
