Level 1

Entering Babylon

The Ramparts

Turn left from the Save Fountain and go down the stairs to the balcony. When the flashing eye Icon appears on screen press [B7] for Landscape View. You can zoom in and out with [RAS] pressing up and down, and return to the Normal View by pressing [B7] again.

When zooming in you’ll see the Prince standing on the balcony and looking down...  Guards everywhere, ledges, a column next to an upper balcony and ladders. Things to do here!

The ladder on the balcony leads up to the top where you find an entrance. A cut scene will show how the Prince is finding a Dagger and will sneak behind the Guard on the upper balcony. While the screen is distorted press [B3] to start the Speed Kill. Wait for the Dagger to flash before attacking by pressing [B2]. Wait for another Dagger flash and do a 2^nd Speed Kill.

Press [B2] to strike twice in a row

Now you’ve killed the Guard. Remember this tactical sequence for future attacks. Turn to Landscape View. Now you see Prince on the upper balcony next to a column that is apparently leading to a lower ledge with another Guard.

Approach the banister on your right and the Prince will jump over and hang down from it. Direct him in one line with the column by shimmying. At the correct position you will get a text appearing: Move [LAS] towards column and press [B1] to jump.

Now the Prince is hanging on the column

Lower down with [LAS] and he’ll drop to the ledge. Now repeat the Speed Kill. Grab the Sword of the dead Guard by pressing [B4]. The Life Meter will then shortly appear in the upper left corner showing a Sword. This means the Prince has 2 Weapons now: a Dagger in his right hand and a Sword in his left hand. Press [B2] or [B3] to see him taking both Weapons. The left hand Weapon has a Stamina Meter which will continually drop. You can either throw that Weapon at an enemy with [B4] or use it in combat [B3].

Wall run from the opening in the banister (where the Guard is lying) to the wall groove with [LAS] while pressing [B6], and you will end up hanging down from it. Underneath is a wooden ledge, but don’t jump down to that.

Instead shimmy to the far right and pull up. Jump up to the upper wall groove and hang down from it. Shimmy to the far right and drop down to a narrow ledge. Move all the way right on this ledge. Then move with [LAS] towards the gap and press [B1] to jump from the ledge.

This is how to jump to the ledge

On this ledge you’ll see a jar and a chest both made out of reed. You can strike them – many will contain sand to fill your Sand Tank. But there is no use for doing that at this point because your Sand Tank Skills have not been activated yet. Go down the ladder. Enemies can patrol back and forth in an area. So better go down when you can surprise the Guard down there from behind with Speed Kill.

Turn around the corner and walk down the stairs. There are two closed doors here so don’t bother with them. Instead go to the open gate where the Guard is standing. Now you’ll have to learn how to face and fight an enemy. You can use [B6] to block an attack and immediately strike with [B2] – your first Weapon – or [B3] – your second Weapon. One of the most powerful attacks is running to a wall while pressing [B2] to jump at your enemy off the wall and heavily strike. This is a Skill you really have to practice because of its efficiency against enemies. This is called a wall attack.

When this enemy is dead too, throw away your 2^nd Weapon, take his Sword to replace yours with a fresh Sword as yours is constantly deteriorating. Next, run along the left wall while holding [B6] and press [B1] to jump when your reach the spot where you can jump to the opposite ledge.

Next, look down from the ledge to the water basin filled by a waterfall. Jump down into the shallow water pool and drink from it by pressing [B6]. The water will fully replenish your Stamina (if you lost some).

Look down from the ledge

Drink from the water

Now there is another skill combo you will have to learn: a wall run + jump. Run along the left wall while holding [B6] and press [B1] to jump when your reach the spot where you can jump to the opposite ledge.

Run along the wall

When parallel with the opposite ledge press [B1] to jump

Pull up and jump to the higher ledge. Shimmy around the corner and pull up to a higher level. Climb the ladder on your left. Move the [RAS] to look above. There is an opening. Use [LAS] upward + [B6] to hang from the window. Pull up. From this balcony you’ll get a cut scene where two bullies down below are carrying Kaileena away. I will have to find an entrance from above!

The Prince watches Kaileena being carried away

Run along the wall toward the red curtain to slide down. Combine [LAS] forward + [B6] until you’ll slide down from the curtain to a lower area. You’ll be attacked by 3 big bullies. Remember to block with [B6]. Here is a new very efficient combo attack. Run towards an enemy, press [B2] and while jumping over him immediately press [B1] or [B3] twice in a row to strike really hard. Repeat this and you’ll turn these 3 muscle guys into sausages in no time.

Now use [B4] to throw your deteriorating Sword away (you will notice how the Sword’s Energy Meter is going down) and take a fresh one from one of these three Guards, by pressing [B4]. Everything is burning here. Run to the far end where you’ll find a ladder inside. Climb this ladder to the top and press [B1] to jump to the opposite ladder. Move [LAS] left or right to turn around on the ladder. Climb to the next level. The Prince will sense that his family has been harmed here.

Run up the wall and jump to the opposite ledge

Go right and jump to the opposite ladder

Now climb the ladder

Once above on the draw-bridge the Prince sees the true horror of this war. War with whom and why... he is wondering. Press [B12] for First Person Camera. Move [RAS] to look around. Press [B12] to return to Normal Camera. Jump down from this ledge and you’ll see battles going on everywhere. Go left and climb a ledge next to a door.

Jump higher and pull up. There is a fire on your right side. Do a wall run along the left wall and end up hanging from a ledge. Drop down by pressing [B4] and Speed Kill the Archer (by now you know how to perform this).

Go down the ladder. There is a Guard walking down there but he can’t see you if you hide behind the left wall or if you are standing above him on a ledge. When he has turned his back sneak up on him from behind and finish him off. Take his Sword. Now run up the wall on your left (right behind the corner) and climb up to the narrow ledge.

Jump to the opposite ledge and move to the left

Jump again to the opposite ledge. Down below there is an Archer who can see you and launch arrows at the Prince. Drop down and finish him off. Enter the opening on your far left and climb up the ladder. Jump down to the place below and save at the Fountain.

Drink!
