PALACE ROOMS

From the Fertile Ground of Coronation Hall you can see the small ledge on the opposite side with the Black Gate.


Having returned here look at the Black Gate

 

Set your destination on the Map to Palace Rooms.


Your destination: Palace Rooms

 

Take a ride from the yellow Plate on your left to the ledge.


Get launched to the ledge

 

Elika: The Palace Rooms are three large halls across three floors. The Concubine has probably taken the top floor as her own.
Prince: Any way we can tell what’s real and what’s not?


Just use your instincts

 

Prince: The same instincts that lead me into this mess?
Elika: Law of averages, you’ve got to be right some time.

Elika walks to the Gate and merges with the Power to destroy it.


Elika destroys the Black Gate

 

Walk through the open Gate into the Corrupted Land and verify what Elika just told you: The Palace Rooms are in a tall tower with three floors.


The tower with the Palace Rooms

 

Jump with Elika’s help to the opposite wall and wall run up to the yellow Plate. I’ll number the Plates, so this is Plate #1 (yellow).


Get up to the yellow Plate

 

Take off and avoid many obstacles by steering well with LAS.


Avoid these obstacles

 

You will reach Plate #2 (yellow).


Reaching the second yellow Plate

 

When catapulted from this Plate, again avoid as many obstacles as you can.


The obstacles are harder to avoid on this flight

 

Then you will hit a ledge with Plate #3 (blue).


The ledge with the blue Plate

 

Get pulled off to Plate #4 (blue).


To the next blue Plate

 

The hook will pull you to Plate #5 (yellow).


A short trip to Plate #5

 

This Plate will hurl you on a longer flight where you must avoid all obstacles.


Steer with LAS

 

The flight will end at Plate #6 (blue).


End of this flight: Plate #6

 

You are pulled off to Plate #7 (yellow).


To Plate #7

 

This is your final flight. Avoid all the obstacles and land on a ledge leading to the lowest of the three rooms.


Last flight: to the lower room

 

Prince: I wonder what she’s going to throw at us this time?
Elika: Illusion is her Power. Anything that happens in here will take that form.

Walk inside and the door on the opposite side closes.

Then many illusions of The Concubine appear that are constantly shifting place. The Concubine’s voice is heard. She’s provoking and even flirting with the Prince:


Welcome to the ball, honored guests... shall we begin the dance?

 

She goes on teasing the Prince and Elika:
Help me, help me, rescue me. Rescue me from my Father. Rescue me from the naughty God.
Oh I will, my darling. I will forget my gold, forsake my destiny, live as a pauper, not a Prince.
Prince: I like to get my hands on you.
Concubine: Oh thank you, thank you, my little man.
Prince: I’ll find you. You’re as good as caught.


Can we be together, my darling?

 

Prince: This is going to be very real when I find you.
Concubine: Oh, no, I love Ormazd.
Prince: Those illusions have rotted your mind, you can’t see what’s real anymore.
Concubine: I love my Father.
Prince: What would Ahriman say if he knew you were two timing him?
Concubine: I love my Lands.


I’d have thought The Hunter was more your type.

 

Concubine: That is what I love. That is my duty. Little man, huh? … I’ll show you. Aw, not one of me, but many. Some men would find this most appealing. Would you save her over me? Three floors, little man, you have a choice to make. The sand is running, Ahriman has got a Desert of it, but, you little man are down to your last few grains. Are my charms so dulled by my imprisonment?

Strike each illusion of the Concubine with your sword until they’re all gone.


Get rid of all the illusions

 

The real Concubine will then appear. Now you don’t spare that arrogant bitch. There’s no bit of sympathy like with The Alchemist although he was some creep too. Send this Madam to her Harem... in Hell!


Forget about her, it’s time to think about me

 

When The Concubine has lost a third of her power she’ll leave to the middle room.


She might have your heart... but I will have your soul

 

Prince: I think I’ll try and hang on to that. It seems to be coming in handy.
Elika: We will need to go to the next floor. That Plate should take us there.


Are you in shape to... ?

 

Elika: How much time do you think we have left? We must keep going.
Prince: Stay close.
Elika: I’m not going anywhere.
Prince: What’s on the next floor?
Elika: They’re all the same as this, big spaces. They were used for banquets, receptions... a long time ago.


A door is opening up

 

Walk outside and wall run on your left to Plate #1 (blue).


Wall run to the first Plate

 

Get pulled to Plate #2 (yellow).


To Plate #2

 

Fly to Plate #3 (yellow).


Plate #3

 

Enjoy a long flight without any obstacles to Plate #4 (blue).


The flight to the blue Plate

 

Get pulled to Plate #5 (yellow).


To the next yellow Plate

 

This Plate will direct you to a ledge for landing.


Approaching a ledge

 

Land on the ledge with Elika’s help.


You need Elika’s help for a safe landing

 

The ledge gives access to the hall on the second floor. The Concubine appears and knocks Elika on the floor.


Elika is KO for a while

 

The second part of the battle is about the same. Elika will wake up and together you can reduce The Concubine’s health to a third.


Scenes from the second battle

 

Then she’ll run off to the third floor. Elika looks pretty exhausted now:


The next floor is the last one

 

Prince: Then we’ll have her cornered.
The Concubine suddenly interferes from above:
Or... you have a choice. Walk into the web, or walk away. Ahriman will clear a path for you, so you can leave.
Prince: Yeah... and he’s the trustworthy type, Ahriman. He’ll just let us go... so we can warn everyone he’s about to get out. Aha, silence speaks volumes.


A new door has opened

 

Go outside and wall run left to Plate #1 (blue).


Wall run to the blue Plate

 

Get pulled to Plate #2 (yellow).


To the yellow Plate

 

This plates hurls you at Plate #3 (yellow) but the whole landscape will turn around and you’ll have to avoid a couple of obstructions by steering with LAS.


A bumpy flight to the next yellow Plate

 

The next flight is easier but a bit tricky at the end. You have to get Elika’s help to wall run to Plate #4 (blue).


To the blue Plate with Elika’s help

 

The hook will pull you to Plate #5 (blue).


A short trip to the next blue Plate

 

You are pulled to Plate #6 (yellow).


To the yellow Plate

 

Enjoy your last flight: to the third floor.


On the top floor

 

The Concubine appears:


No, no, no, you chose her. So choose her.

 

She creates a circle of images of Elika in a circle around the Prince.


Oh, no, my little man. How will you find her now?

 

...what would you sacrifice for her? How will you prove yourself to her?

Think! The real Elika will always save you from dying. Sacrifice your life: walk to an edge and jump into the depth.
Elika pulls you up to the platform.


The real Elika prevents you from dying

 

Well, let’s face it... Elika plays it cool:


I need you alive... you lunatic.

 

Prince: I knew you’d save me.
Elika: What if I’d fallen unconscious again?
Prince: Ah... oh, I didn’t think of that.

But The Concubine feels cheated:
Well, little man. You took the test. You failed.

Continue with the third part of the battle.


Scenes of the final battle

 

When The Concubine is defeated by “the little man” she seems to realize what damage she has done.


The end of a Concubine

 

As usually, Elika comforts a Corrupted on her return to the light. The Concubine looks like a helpless old woman now.


I had no choice... I have no choice.


Elika and The Concubine touch hands

 

The Concubine is then consumed by a blinding light and you get a bonus of 25 Light Seeds – not really needed, but all right. The Prince takes care of Elika who is weary.


You’re right, let’s get out of here. After all this I’ll get you those carpets you wanted.


What carpets?

 

Prince: You know, redecorate the Palace like you’ve been saying.
Elika: I’m not The Concubine. She’s gone, you’re stuck with me.

Suddenly the Land is shaking.
That wasn’t an illusion either.
Let’s get out of here.

You will get an Autosave.

Prince: How do we get out?
Elika: Over there, that will allow us to leave.
Prince: I knew I’d find you.
Elika: You’ll find me under rubble if we don’t go.
Prince: Any chance you can finish these things without making everything collapse?
Elika: Let’s go to the Plate and get out.

Go outside to where you see a yellow Plate on the left wall.


Go outside

 

Wall run to the Plate and fly off.


Get on your way out of here

 

Enjoy a spectacular flight to the balcony of the Fertile Ground at Coronation Hall.


On your way to the Fertile Ground of Coronation Hall

 

Prince: What she said was designed to drive a wedge between us. You said it yourself.
Elika: Some of it was through. I do serve my people and –
Prince: Hey, I’m looking for a way out of here without a dark God chasing me across the Desert. Don’t worry about me, Princess.
Elika: No, no, of course not. We’ll finish this then you can find your Donkey...
Prince: And you can get back to ruling your people. Everything back as it was. Just as you wanted.
Elika: Well, we haven’t finished this yet.
Prince: You could come with me... when I go. You need to find your people, the ones who left.
Elika: I need to make sure all is well here first. Until I’m sure I...
Prince: Yeah, sure, sure.

Your task has been fulfilled in this Area. There is still one Area left that waits to be healed: City of Light.
Open the Map and teleport to the Fertile Ground of City Gate.


Set your new destination: City Gate
