Level 4

Suburban Babylon

The Fortress

 

This entire Level is all about the outlying area behind the many walls and the lower parts of Babylon with their narrow streets. The first two Sublevels are in fact one Sublevel, because there is no Save Fountain in between them. I have split them into two separate parts: The Fortress and The City Gates. Step from the opening in the banister and hang down between two narrow walls. Press [B4] to support yourself between the walls.


Your way down to the balcony

 

Slide down and drop down to the balcony with the light beam. Kill the Sand Gate Guard to prevent him from calling reinforcements. That is the one with the horned helmet near the light beam which apparently emerges from a Sand Gate. You can try a Speed Kill when the other Guard is walking away, but I’m afraid you won’t succeed. You will get one stab but not a second to finish him off. When you fight both Guards, new ones will keep appearing from the light beam. Running and jumping over with a stroke is most efficient. Keep moving and rolling around and do plenty of wall attacks!

Once all the enemies near the Sand Gate are killed take a 2nd Weapon, there are many scattered around now. Approach the Sand Gate and the Prince will stab his Dagger into the opening. That will award you with the activation of your 4th Sand Tank.


Stabbing your knife into the Gate

 

Stand in the opening of the banister and when the panel is flat, wall run and jump right to a bar.


Wait for the rotation of the half-cylinder


When flat, wall run and jump to the bar

 

Swing/jump to the next bar and then to the balcony with the Archer. Hit the archer until he falls from the balcony. Run and Jump to grab the hanging chain. If you miss the chain – which you will - you’ll land on the floor and will have to fight 3 Guards and an Archer.

Try to survive though with the Prince’s acrobatics, and climb the small hut in the corner. Run up the wall and stab your Dagger into the first plaque. Go up to the second plaque and look left. Wall run to the third plaque on your left. Look left and notice a shutter on each wall.


The two shutters

 

Then wall run to the first shutter, jump to the second shutter and from there to a narrow ledge. Drop to the floor. On the opposite wall run up to a higher narrow ledge. You can see an upper balcony from here with two Guards. The first one is walking up and down, so when he turns his back to you pull up and try a Speed Kill, which probably won’t work either. So, it’s back to the acrobatics and the combat Skills.

First strike the Guard to the floor and run to the Archer. Jump over him and strike. Then take care of the Guard. Rotate the lever switch a half-turn. This will open one of two grated gates on this floor and also one of two below you (a first of two giving access to the Fortress).


Opening the two doors. Notice two cylinders on the wall

 

Make a wall run across the two spiky half-cylinders (when turned flat) to end up on a balcony where you’ll turn into the Sand Wraith once again.


The wicked transformation

 

Run along the wall and press/hold [B3] to Chain swing, ending up on a ledge. Move to the right of this ledge. Run further along the wall and hold [B3] to Chain swing, then press [B1] onto the rope. The Camera View is switching during your run, so you can see when you will be parallel with the rope (in fact it is a chain) and then press [B1]. This is quite a difficult move. Lower down from the chain and press [B3] to Speed Kill a Guard below with your own Chain.


A new kind of speed kill: with the chain

 

Down there the enemies are quickly killed with the extra Sand Wraith Skills. However, ignore these guys and run straight to the central column. You can use a new Skill if you like: the Column Chain Attack: hold [B3] toward the column.

Either way, jump up to the column, climb up and swing/jump to the 3 next poles in a row. And don’t keep hanging there because you’ll quickly fall down. From the last pole jump to a mechanical groove in the wall, stab your Dagger into the groove and the Gate on your left will be opened (this was the second Gate, remember?). Quick now, this opened Gate is timed.


The second gate now also opens

 

Drop down, ignore new enemies, turn around the corner and run through the gate. Once you passed, the gate will close and all enemies will get stuck inside. Proceed to the shallow water pool and turn into the real Prince again. This is a Checkpoint.

 

Go to: The City Gates (warning: there is no saving here)
