As a Metroidvania, the world of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is full of secrets and alternate paths to take, but there will always likely be some obstacles that gate off certain areas until a certain time.

For players scratching their heads over what to do for glowing yellow walls, this guide will teach you the secrets of breaking a new path ahead.

These glowing, cracked walls will be a common sight throughout Mount Qaf, but Sargon will not be able to do anything about them until later on in the game. The solution to this problem is the Dimensional Claw Time Power, which can be obtained during the main quest, The Path to the Sand Prison.

This will require players to defeat the intimidating Queen of the Forest boss, Kiana, in the Hyrcanian Forest. Once she's down for the count, Sargon will obtain the Dimensional Claw, which allows him to capture an object or enemy that can be thrown in any direction as a weapon or tool.

When finding a glowing yellow wall in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, be sure to look around the area for explosive red barrels, or the purple glowing blobs that explode when you get too close. Capture them using the Dimensional Claw (R1/RB/R), then hold down the same button to aim. Let go and Sargon will unleash the captured object and blow up the wall, opening up new areas to explore on Mount Qaf that can lead to more Time Crystals, Xerxes Coins, and other valuables.

At any given time, players can check if they have already captured an object or enemy using the Dimensional Claw by looking at the bottom left-hand corner of the screen. A cube will indicate that there is already an object in hand, but unfortunately, there is no way to tell what exactly that is until it is thrown out again using the power.
