How to solve the lion statue puzzle in Prince of Persia The Lost Crown
To solve the puzzle in the Upper City, you will have to run around a fair amount, taking into the timing of the activated mechanisms and wisely using the abilities of the main character.
Climb onto 1 platform
Stand on the western stairs between the statues to make it easier to aim at the white gear. The shot activates the mechanism and the lions disperse in different directions. Run to the left, then jump onto the wall and push off it, using in the air "Simurgh's Charge". This will allow you to reach the crossbar on the statue, which by then will be in the right place.
Jump onto the platform from above need not - simply recall your Chakram to return the lion statues to their original position and wait while rotating on the bar.
Once the statues are close enough to each other again, jump down and use "Simurgh's Charge"to reach the second crossbar.
Once Sargon is on the second pole, jump to the platform above, landing there.
From the platform, aim at white gear between the two lion statues and activate the mechanism again.
Climb onto platform 2 and activate the elevator
When the lions begin to move in different directions, go down from the platform and grab onto the second crossbar on the statue. Ride it to the second platform until the lion stops, and jump onto the platform above.
Climb up by pushing off the walls twice and use "Simurgh's Charge"to get to the other side to the elevator.
Activate the elevator with the appropriate action and go down to the statues.
Climb onto platform 3 and go up
Go down and climb onto the first bar, just like before. Run to the left end of the room, push off the wall and grab onto the pole, then jump onto platform on top.
Once you're at the top, push off the walls twice to rise up using jumps.
You'll see another one behind bars white gear – feel free to shoot at her to lower the second elevator.
Go back down to the platform, then jump down from it and do the "Simurgh's Charge"to reach the first crossbar in the starting position of the statues.
From here, climb onto the lowered elevator by aiming and jumping at the right time. If you are not confident in your abilities, then you can use the opposite wall: push off from it and then rush to the elevator.
Go to the second elevator and take it up, recalling your Chakram.
Before continuing your search for Anahita, we recommend checking the eastern part of the room, where the stone knowledge tablet и рычаг - by pulling it, you can open a shortcut, so you don’t have to solve the puzzle with the statues in the Upper City again.
In order to get to the very top, explore the western corridor and shoot at the white gear at the top, then climb up in the same way, recalling the Chakram.
