Time Crystals are the main currency in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. You need these supernatural shards to pay for upgrades and unlock new items at shops. While you naturally accumulate Crystals by defeating enemies during the story progression, there are more efficient methods for farming them. In this guide, you’ll discover four techniques to collect more Time Crystals, allowing you to max out Sargon at an accelerated pace.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown: How To Get Xerxes & What To Do With Them
Xerxes is a rare currency that serves an important purpose in The Lost Crown.
How to Farm Time Crystals
In Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, you can get more Time Crystals by killing respawned enemies. Additional farming methods include equipping the drop-enhancing charm Ecbatana Seal, breaking abandoned objects, and collecting Crystal Ores.
Force-Spawn Enemies
The most effective method for Time Crystal farming is forcing enemies to respawn. Achieve this by repeatedly exiting and entering the same area. Once you locate a favorable location with valuable monsters, continuously eliminate them by triggering force-spawns. Simply clear the area, transition to another biome, and re-enter to repeat the process.
Find a place with a group of enemies near a Wak-Wak Tree. Use the tree as a spawn point and farm the regenerated monsters after each save.
Equip the Ard’s Fortune and Ecbatana Seal Amulets
The Ard’s Fortune increases Time Crystal drops. The Ecbatana Seal Amulet allows you to collect Time Crystal from a distance. Equip these charms to farm the currency faster. These Amulets enable you to collect more Time Crystals from a distance, proving especially useful when breaking Crystal Ores or defeating enemies with projectiles in inaccessible areas.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown - How to Open the Map
You might be wondering how to acquire the map in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown.
Break Objects
Smashable items like pots and boxes yield Time Crystals. Similar to early God of War games, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown’s abandoned objects provide an opportunity to acquire additional shards. It’s essential to recognize that not every object guarantees lucrative drops. Consider employing this method when you’re just a few shards shy of affording a specific item.
Hunt Time Crystal Ores
You’re likely to find a batch of Time Crystal Ores in deserted corners and secret rooms. Uncover these areas by exploring the dark zones on the map—or by equipping the Prosperity Bird Amulet. (The charm is exclusive to the Deluxe Edition and reveals the nearby hidden doors by making a noise.)
What to Buy with Time Crystals
The best use of Time Crystal is upgrading weapons and purchasing Amulets. You can do so by talking to the Mage and Kaheva in the Haven. The Mage and Kaheva in the Haven facilitate these transactions, offering upgrades and new items in exchange for a few hundred Time Shards. Additionally, consider investing in unlocking maps for 50 Time Crystals by conversing with Fariba, the young girl you encounter across different biomes.
