Level 5

Downtown

The Brothel

 

Here comes your second Boss fight. Before jumping from both ledges into the battle area make sure you have your 5 Sand Tanks filled by smashing sufficient objects in the passageway and then save again by the Fountain. This way you can always retry with full Health and Sand Tanks when you die. Jump down from the first ledge and stand in the banister gap to overlook the Brothel before you jump down to the rooftop where the battle will start.


Look at all the details before starting

 

First you must orientate yourself by observing the scene very carefully. What you see are 4 rooftops depicted in the corners of a square. They consist of two diagonal pairs: one pair of larger rooftops, and one pair of smaller rooftops. You are now standing on a ledge on top of a larger rooftop that we will call RT1 (RoofTop 1). We’ll call the other rooftops (going clockwise from your position):

RT2, the smaller rooftop on your left
RT3, the diagonally opposite larger rooftop on your left
RT4, the opposite smaller rooftop

Now from here you can’t see RT2 very well so you may let the Prince hang down from the ledge above RT1 and look to his right to take a screenshot where you will have a view on RT2.


Looking on your right at RT2, a smaller rooftop.

 

Before dropping down to RT1, notice some more details. RT2 has a bay window in front with a narrow beam sticking out, and there is a horizontal pole sticking out from the wall in between RT1 and RT2. Looking from your standing position again, you will notice that RT3 has a nicely decorated door in the far wall. Remember that door. RT1 has a small black door in that spot.

A horizontal pole is sticking out of the front wall under RT3 and a wooden ledge on the right wall. In between RT3 and RT4 you see two horizontal poles sticking out from the wall by the palm trees: a small one on top of a large one.

Now let’s look again at RT3: a woman is standing there, she is the Boss you’ll have to fight. She’s a bit like Shahleen in Warrior Within, whom the Prince called “Bitch” during the battle with her. Since we don’t know the name of this Brothel woman yet, let’s call her The Bitch – not my words, but the Prince’s. Now jump down to RT1. Immediately The Bitch will jump over to this rooftop too.


View of RT1 when The Bitch jumps over

 

Notice that there is a bay window below the wall, which you must remember. This battle constitutes 3 main parts:

Combat on RT1

As soon as the Bitch lands on the rooftop jump away from her and do a series of wall attacks. Alternatively use each wall in the corner. In fact you can finish Part 1 this way, but it would take too long. Remember: never go into close combat.

Run away, turn around, change the Camera View so you see her up front, run to her and do a jump-over attack, which is very efficient for dropping her Health Bar faster. You can even add some more strokes behind The Bitch’s back and repeat the wall attacks. Only rewind if you should get hurt and then replay the previous scene avoiding her lethal attacks. Soon you will have a clash where you have to repeatedly press [B2].


Your first clash

 

After the second clash you will turn into the Sand Wraith, and the timing couldn’t be worse. No! Not now!! Fortunately this is a checkpoint.

 

Rooftop hopping

From this moment The Bitch will jump to a diagonally opposite larger rooftop when she gets hurt and starts throwing arrows at you. You’ll have to jump or wall run clockwise to the diagonally opposite Rooftop via the smaller rooftop. So always follow the left walls clockwise.

First run:

Jump to the horizontal pole and before you swing/jump to RT2 make sure you’re not in line with the upper bay window or you will bump it and drop down. It will cost you a Sand Tank to rewind. There is a Shadow monster on RT2, so shimmy a bit to get in line with the Shadow and then swing/jump to RT2.


Prepare your jump to RT2

 

When landing either go into slow motion to easily kill the Shadow and regain the Sand Tank you spent (if you still had 5), or defeat it with a well planned wall attack or some strokes to gain an extra Sand Tank. It is important to preserve a minimum of 3 full Sand Tanks. Here I would suggest a jump-over attack with a couple of strokes. That will kill it at once and you regain your Stamina + an extra Sand Tank.

Second run:

Wall run to the corner and jump to the narrow beam on your right. Jump up to the ledge of RT3 where The Bitch is waiting for you and go into slow motion when hanging down (at the cost of a Sand Tank). Then immediately pull up, run towards her, make a jump-over attack and keep striking her in the back until she jumps to the opposite diagonal rooftop.


Beat the hell out of that Bitch

 

Third run:

Jump to the narrow beam and swing/jump to RT4. Defeat the Shadow and regain your previously spent Sand Tank.

Fourth run:

Wall run and end up on the wooden roof with the bay window in the corner or hanging from RT1 where The Bitch is waiting. Go into slow motion. Again, quickly pull up, run towards The Bitch and make a jump-over attack. Then keep striking her in the back until she jumps to RT3.

Fifth and Sixth run:

Return to RT3, repeat the same tactics and let The Bitch jump to RT1.

Seventh and eight run:

Depending on how effective your operation was she will now be very low on Stamina when she jumps over to RT3 . If not you will have to do another round and get her on RT3 again.

Final meeting on RT1

This time you won’t see any Shadow on RT2 to restore your Stamina, so you have to move fast now. “God” shouts: The Dagger! Unleash the power of the Dagger!  They should gag this boring fellow. Run to RT3 and repeat the same tactics: slow motion and beating up The Bitch until she jumps to RT1. There will be a Phantom on RT4 so fill up your goodies and wall run to RT1 for the final encounter.

Go into slow motion again for your strokes, but when you return to normal speed The Bitch won’t jump over to RT3! Instead, there will be a last clash. Now constantly keep pressing [B2] – about 30 times - until she backs up and falls dead off the rooftop.


The final clash: keep pressing [B2]


She tumbles down – adios!

 

Then Farah will appear through the decorated door on RT3 and a conversation will start with the Sand Wraith. No! You’re a Sand Monster! You’ve been constantly lying to me! The Sand Wraith tries to convince Farah that inside in his soul he’s still the Prince, but nothing helps as she’s completely flipping out. Farah shoots an arrow at the Sand Wraith and escapes through the door, leaving him behind in agony.


Farah is loosing her mind when she sees the Prince like this


She shoots at him and runs off

 

You will be asked to save your Game. An excellent suggestion!

 

Time for going Uptown now. First Sublevel: The Plaza
