Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is one of the first surprises of 2024. A game that is causing a sensation among critics, which seems to be one of the candidates for GOTY. And that’s without even finishing January. That doesn’t mean it’s not a challenging game that demands things from the player. And we’re going to give you some tips to make the experience as smooth and simple as possible from the first minute.
Adjust the difficulty to your needs
It’s easy to get carried away and just set the base difficulty, but trust us. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is highly customizable. In addition to various difficulty options, you can personalize your experience according to your needs. And furthermore, you can choose whether to play in Guided mode or Exploration mode. Do not underestimate the difficulty of the game, because the fights are tough and the exploration is demanding: there is no shame in playing in Guided mode and/or on easy difficulty.
Don’t skip the extra tutorials
When you advance a little in the game, you will encounter a character named Artaban. He will offer you a series of combat tutorials, completely optional. Okay: do them. For your life. They are brief, they give you small rewards and everything you learn here in combat you will take advantage of throughout the rest of the game.
Use memory fragments
One of the most original additions to the game are Memory Fragments. These allow you to take a screenshot of where you are, associating it with the point on the map where you are. This will allow you to know where places are that you cannot access yet, making your life much easier. So don’t hesitate to use them as much as you can.
Follow the golden leaves
To save, heal, and change talismans, you will have to find Soma Trees. The easiest way to find them will be to follow a method that other games have already taught us in the past: follow the wind. In this case, the golden leaves will indicate where the nearest soma tree is. Something that will make your life much easier when it comes to progressing.
Explore the scenarios thoroughly
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is a metroidvania. That means you have to explore well. Some walls hide objects, many side quests give very good rewards, and that’s why investing a little time in exploring will help you a lot with this game.
