How To Break Enemy Shields In The Rogue Prince of Persia

The Rogue Prince of Persia How To Break Shields

Unless the shields are broken, enemies won't take damage. Kicking these enemies is also impossible, so they can't crash into one another. Fortunately, players can use a few methods to break an enemy's shield.

The first method requires players to deal damage with their primary weapons. This can be a sword, dagger, ax, or any other weapon. Hitting enemies enough times will break their shields. Once the shield is broken, players can use kicks and other means to best the enemy.

Making Two Enemies Collide With Each Other

Enemies with shields cannot be kicked, but those without them can be thrown around. The Rogue Prince of Persia players can use this to their advantage by kicking a regular enemy into the one with the shield. Not only will this break the shield, but it will also cause the two enemies to become stunned. This makes it a lot easier to deal with both of them.

Kicking Objects Towards An Enemy

On their adventure, players will find objects that they can use to their advantage. By simply kicking an object towards an enemy, players can break their shield. While this is more convenient than launching two enemies at each other, objects are rather scant.

Enemies with shields can withstand more attacks than ordinary enemies, which means that they are likely to survive and hit the players before they can finish them off. If the enemy with a shield is getting ready to attack, try to kick another foe and stun both of them.

If there is just a single shield enemy, players should focus on dodging the attacks. Make sure to land a few hits and keep an eye on the enemy's stance. Once the foe is ready to launch a strike, use the dodge button to get away safely. After this, you can resume attacking with your weapons.
