How to get through the secret rooms in the Sacred Archives in Prince of Persia The Lost Crown
There are a total of 4 such puzzles in the game; to solve them you have to visit the secret rooms in the Sacred Archives in Prince of Persia and find yellow portals there that lead to the riddle. Get to the point on the map like in the screenshot above and you will see a stone tablet with a yellow glow with a warning engraved on it. Climb up and go left - there you will see the entrance to the first room with a puzzle.
During the age of the puzzle, you will use several copies of the main character, which must be carefully coordinated to activate pressure plates and levers. There will be three of them available, and you will be given a few seconds to use one: during this time you need to have time to move two princes to the switch so that the third can grab the plate with the skill.
Room 1
The first level is educational and should not cause major problems. Approach the wall with the three monks and press the interact button to trigger the puzzle.
To open the door with the sign, you need to activate two levers that are located on the left and right walls. After activating the puzzle, a timer of 4 seconds will start, during which you need to have time to hang on one of the walls. Follow these steps to solve the riddle:
- Activate the lever on the right and don't jump off it until the timer ends.
- After 4 seconds a new timer will start. Within the allotted time, hang on the left lever.
- The third time the door on the left will open - run through it in 4 seconds and grab the sign.
As you leave the location, the game will show you where the next two rooms are.
Room 2
Go to the room that is located above the first one. To solve this puzzle you will need to use the ability "Shadow of Simurth": She creates a copy of the hero and teleports him to her when pressed again.
The room with the sign is on the right side of the location, and the button is directly above it. To complete the riddle, you are given 3 times of 8 seconds, during which you need to do the following:
- Jump onto the platform to the right of where you started the timer. Move left from it until you hit the wall. Climb up it and run to the right, to the horizontal pole. Make the final dash and stand on the button.
- Try to run as far along the route as possible. If you didn’t have time to press the button, then activate the “Shadow of Simurt” ability, teleport to the copy on the second circle and get to the button.
- On the third circle, climb onto the platform and wait for the door on the right to open. Enter it and take the sign.
Room 3
Room 3 is located on the opposite side from the first. To get to the sign, you have to climb into the room at the very top of the location. The game gives you 12 seconds for one lap, during which you need to do the following:
- Hang on the wall lever to the right of the central platform: this action will activate a retractable vertical plate, which will be needed later. At 5 seconds, go down the wall and step on the button on the central platform to activate the retractable horizontal plate.
- Wait for the first clone to activate the vertical plate and jump from it to the left wall lever, on which you need to hang until the end of the timer. It activates the retractable vertical plate that is located near this lever.
- Jump off the retractable wall that the first clone activated onto the small platform next to the second lever. When the second clone activates the left vertical plate and the first approaches the button on the central platform, quickly climb up before the timer runs out. There is a third sign there.
Room 4
The 4th puzzle in the Sacred Archives is located above the 3rd one. It is the most difficult, as it combines the use of the “Shadow of Simurth” ability from puzzle 2 and the completion of several difficult tasks, as in the 3rd. Each circle is given 13 seconds, and the sign is located in the room in the upper right corner of the location. Follow these steps to get to it:
- Jump down to the bottom and move right until you reach the pressure plate. Stay on it until the end of the timer - it will activate the retractable platform, which will be needed later.
- Move to the right and leave a clone using the Shadow of Simurth ability in the place where the retractable platform appears. When the first clone activates the pressure plate, teleport to the clone and climb up to the lever - it will activate the retractable wall on the right side of the room.
- Leave a shadow on the right side of the retractable platform that the 1st double activates: the shadow must be placed so that it is to the right of the grate that appears after activating the pressure plate. Teleport to it and wait until the 2nd double activates the lever, then climb up the right retractable wall, straight to the sign.
Reward
When you all 4 tests, the age to the central door will open. Go through it and move all the way to the right: there you will find a feather that gives the ability "Clairvoyance" It allows Sargon to enter a parallel dimension so that certain objects appear or disappear. This ability will be needed to further advance the story.
