Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown does an excellent job of concealing the locations of items. But it does an even better job at hiding NPCs that give Sargon different side quests. It is extremely easy to overlook certain areas of the map and never find a certain NPC.
The case of the Architect is somewhat similar. She is located deep within the Upper City, and players will have to cover a great distance to reach her. She is responsible for giving a side quest that involves completing intricate puzzles.
