Prince of Persia: Lost Crown Beginner’s Guide

A Legendary Franchise Reborn

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown reinvents the iconic series with its bold new direction. Shifting from the cinematic 3D format of previous titles, this installment adopts a fluid 2.5D Metroidvania design that blends intense combat with deep exploration and clever puzzles. Now available on mobile, players can experience the classic Prince of Persia action wherever they go. This beginner's guide will help newcomers navigate the game's core mechanics and features.

A New Hero Rises

Players assume the role of Sargon, an exceptional warrior among the elite Immortals. The adventure begins when the Persian Prince is kidnapped, sending Sargon on a dangerous journey to Mount Qaf - a mysterious, time-twisted citadel hiding ancient secrets. As Sargon, you'll battle enemies corrupted by forgotten powers while uncovering the mysteries of time itself.

Evolving Movement Skills

Progress through the story unlocks vital movement abilities including double jumps, time-based dashes, and teleportation portals. These new skills grant access to previously inaccessible areas. Frequent backtracking reveals hidden collectibles, health upgrades, and powerful equipment—a hallmark of the Metroidvania experience.

Mastering Time Manipulation

The Lost Crown reintroduces the series' signature time powers with innovative twists. Early abilities include Shadow of Simurgh (creating temporary checkpoints) and Rush of Simurgh (a time-warping dash). These mechanics prove essential for combat, exploration, and solving the game's intricate puzzles.
