Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown may seem simple at first glance, but the truth is that it is quite complex. The game offers players four difficulty options: Rookie, Warrior, Hero, and Immortal. Rookie is the easiest and, naturally, the best option for newbies. Immortal, on the other hand, puts players through many challenging ordeals.

As players start their adventure, they will get the opportunity to learn the basics while fighting through the hordes of Kushan invaders. One thing that players might be surprised to see is that Sargon will only have three health bars in the beginning. If you are playing on Rookie difficulty, then it shouldn't be a problem. However, these three bars can easily be wiped by both mobs and bosses alike on Immortal difficulty. So, the best course of action is to increase overall health, but that's easier said than done.

How To Get More Health In The Lost Crown

Players should focus on their health bars at all costs and try to increase them as much as possible. To increase the maximum health, The Lost Crown players will need to find anitem called a Soma Tree Petal. Collecting four Soma Tree Petals increases the overall health bar by one. This particular item is scattered throughout Mount Qaf and its adjoining areas. So, players will have to explore every area to ensure they don't leave any Soma Tree Petals behind.

Sometimes, players will find petals after defeating a Prince of Persia boss, while other times, they may find them in a merchant's wares. The merchants don't have them in abundance, as players might take undue advantage.

How To Get More Potions

If players are struggling to find Soma Tree Petals to enhance their overall health, they can resort to some stop gaps. One of which is the Blessing Amulet, which increases health. This particular Amulet can be found early in the game, making it a perfect addition to Sargon's inventory.

Players should also try to buy an additional potion from the Mage on Mount Qaf. This will give them a better fighting chance against bosses. Also, the upgrade isn't expensive, as it only costs 500 Time Crystals.
