One of the rooms in the Hyrcanian Forest area of contains a statue puzzle that can be quite difficult to solve. A riddle provides some clues to arranging three figures in certain directions for a rare reward. Those who interpret this clue correctly can unlock an item used to upgrade Sargon's weapons for their continuing journey throughout the Citadel.

A developer on Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has revealed that they want to make a Legend of Zelda spin-off, which doesn't seem too far-fetched considering Nintendo and Ubisoft's previous collaborations.

The best tool in Sargon's arsenal in is an Athra Surge, a strong technique that unleashes the Immortal's channeled spirit into various attacks. These moves all have unique properties designed for different encounters with enemies across the Citadel. However, the limited amount of Surges you can equip makes some abilities better to have than others.

Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown is full of powerful enemies to defeat. Not all of them are fully-fledged bosses like General Uvishka, but some comfortably take on the role of mini-boss. Erlik, the rampaging giant pig is one such mini-boss, and he can be quite the pain if you go in unprepared. 

Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown exploded onto the scene as if from nowhere and rocked our world. It’s early into 2024, but we have fallen in love with this reboot of the classic series.

Putting four Petals together forms a flower that makes you able to fight for a longer time during your adventure. However, these artifacts are only found when you overcome great challenges presented in different areas of your map.

As you pursue Anahita into the Upper City of the Citadel in , you will be stopped by a Chakram puzzle with two lion statues that may be difficult to solve. This platforming section relies on the alternate form of Menolias' Bow that transforms the weapon into a spinning blade. This Chakram can interact with the world to open up new paths, but must be used carefully for this puzzle.
