@Gabriela: That’s great. Congratulations you’ve finally managed to do it. Don’t forget to drink from the fountain though or everything you worked for will be lost.

Thanks also for a great tip for other gamers playing Prince of Persia right now. That would be a big help. Yeah, make use of your sands whenever you get the chance. I almost forgot about that. Rewind time, slow time.

Hint: The rewind time can be useful when you are riding the chariot of horses.

Oh! I forgot: you need to slow time as many time as you can. If not, you will definitely die caught by the lava over and over …

Hey… Just came back to tell you: you were right. I just beated the whole Tower sinking in lava thing but trying a couple more times so I could do it quick enough to jump to the cliff before the window got to down to reach the last edge. It’s a tricky thing, but totally manageable. What the rest of you guys need to remember is that you have to be really quick, because if you’re not, you won’t be at the window in time to jump to the wall. And that’s exactly the way out: jump to the wall if you see an edge to hold on to!! Good luck!

Wow!! Hold on a sec, I wasn’t saying (neither thought of it) that you didn’t play the game. In fact, I’m quite sure you figured it out in a matter of a few tries, and of course, you wouldn’t remember the every aspect of beating it. What I said (and the thing I suspect made you feel that I was challenging your words) was that something particular or special like what I suggested would be something you’d remember, even though you forgot the way to do it (which would be completely normal and I understand, I’m a big girl -26, actually, bigger than you probably think and unusual.for.my.age.and.type.videogames.enthusiast-). So it’s more like I was thinking out loud, expecting to make you remember or to “chat” with you about it so you could help me go through it. When I get home tonight I’ll try again what you suggested, maybe I missed something. And yes, it is INDEED a freaking hard game, but I think it is exactly what makes it so exciting. I’ll just do like you: beat it and won’t touch it again! If the way I said what I meant offended you, I’m sorry. White flag here! I only hope you remember how to do it and, if not you, any of the others that are currently trying. Thanks for your time!

@Gabriela: You know, Prince of Persia isn’t the only game I played in my whole life. Fact is, it has been almost a year. So if you are telling me that I haven’t been there because I can’t freakin remember what to do, well you are so wrong. I have played through the game only once and have beaten it only once because it’s so damn frustating that only a gamer like me could beat it. In fact I have never touched the game for almost a year now. After that game I’ve been through many other games. So how do you expect me to remember everything? The game is not pacman or tetris. The bottomline here is, if you can’t beat the game, throw the game or better yet play Diner Dash.

Well.. I’m really sad to hear that. I was expecting to finally figure this out. But I don’t think it’s as easy as you mentioned. The dark prince says, more or less: “you won’t have time, use your dagger”. I have looked both inside and outside of the tower before it starts sinking and I haven’t seen any wall device to stab my dagger onto. And neither after reaching the top: there’s nothing there and the lava (or sand, whatever) ends up killing you before you notice it, so I’m guessing you’re not suppose to get to the top but to find some other way out (maybe THROUGH the walls?). I’m also thinking it has more to do with some kind of power hidden inside the dagger, given the fact that it is the Dagger of time or whatever its name is. Although, come to think of it, an event like that you’d most likely remember, even if you couldn’t remember the steps or the “trigger”. Well, if anybody else figures this out before me and cares to help me, please email me at gaby833@hotmail.com

@Gabriela and everyone else: I really can’t remember how I got passed through that tower with the lava. It’s been more than a year now since I last played this game. If it tells you to use your dagger, then there might be something above the walls, a plate or something, where you can stab your dagger onto. Try to check the walls and everything. I really don’t remember this part anymore. I have played a lot of games already and of course I can’t remember every detail of it.

Good luck to all of ye dark princes!

Hi.. Like some of you here, I’m also stuck in the sinking tower, after the 4th sand gate (Rival Swords for PSP). I hear the Dark prince telling me to use the sword, but I don’t know how to do it. Could you please help me with that? I’m usually good at this kind of things, I actually beated the Arena Boss after trying a few times and without any help (not that I’m the only one, but I know it’s kinda tricky and I figured it out by myself and quickly.. Being a girl and all). This thing is killing me, I can’t figure it out. The last save says I’m at the Temple Rooftops..

Hi – first time on Wii today with Prince of Persia (rival swords) and pulling me hear out in my 8th hour … i’m sure it’ll be something silly but upon game entry, roll under door, climb up and over, go down ladder, walk into the room with columms, climb up to the top boards where you can see the windows have been cut open.. Ok – so from here how do you get out!? I’m going crazy. I can sometimes manage to jump from the railings across and out the window, but I die immediately due to the height…. Please help if you know!!! Sincerely, Stacy.
