As a Metroidvania platformer, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown constantly teases you with locked areas that seem just a tiny jump away. This prompts experimentation with various jumping methods in the quest to grasp onto the edge of the elusive platform above. However, the solution doesn’t lie in these attempts. The game indeed features a double jump mechanic that you must unlock by killing one of the main bosses. This guide explains the process of getting the double jump ability and outlines effective ways to utilize it for puzzle-solving and exploring the enigmas of the map.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown - How to Get Past Masked Worms (Locked Paths in the Depths)
In Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, The Depths has multiple tunnels guarded by worm-like masked creatures; here’s how to sidestep them.
How to Double Jump in The Lost Crown
To execute a double jump, equip the Gravity Wings Athra Surge. This Time Power becomes available later in the game, granting you the ability to jump mid-air. With this newfound skill, Sargon gains access to previously unreachable areas.
Beyond its utility for exploration, the Gravity Wings Athra Surge transforms into a valuable combat element. It empowers you to leap over the heads of larger enemies and bosses, positioning you behind them for a tactical advantage.
Double jumps can be combined with long wall jumps to send Sargon flying. Use this combo to access high-ground areas or dodge enemy projectiles.
The double jump feature proves especially handy in certain platform puzzles, allowing you to reach the next platform by generating a nearby Shadow. In the case of a moving platform, for instance, you can produce a clone adjacent to it and subsequently teleport back to it when the platform is accessible.
Ascend to the highest platforms effortlessly by executing a double jump near a wall and dashing toward it. This technique induces a latching effect , enabling you to scale the tallest structures without the need to zig-zag between two walls or platforms.
Where Is the Double Jump Time Power? (Gravity Wings)
You get the double jump ability by defeating Azhdaha, one of the main bosses of the game. Azhdaha resides in the Pit of Eternal Sands, and you fight it during the Path to the Eternal Sand Prison quest. The pit is located south of the map, under Sunken Harbor and The Depths.
To embark on this mission, begin by defeating Kiana, the Queen of the Forest, in the Sacred Archives, and acquire the Dimensional Claw Time Power. Additionally, obtain the Clairvoyance Surge to navigate the invisible platforms in the pit and access Azhdaha's hideout.
When fighting Azhdaha, use the Dimensional Claw to capture its spikes and throw them back. Also, dodge its burning rays by teleporting through them.
