While explaining everything to Farah, Vizier comes and the final Battle begins. Now, the Prince cant direcly attack the Vizier. Vizier will create a clone of his own and Prince have to defeat the Clone. After killing the Clone, Vizier again creates another one. Again, after killing it, he creates one more. But, this is the last one. After defeating the third Clone, Vizier becomes Vulnerable and dies in one single shot. With this the game ends, but not the love story of Prince and Farah. At this point of time, the whole game is just a tale and nothing happened. So, everything that just happened is only in the minds of Prince. So, Farah has no love for Prince and she thanks her for returning the Treasure. But she didnt trust the Prince's story. So, the Prince decided to leave her alone and go back. At that time, Farah asks Prince his name. Prince says "Kaakuluukiaaa", which is the name known only to Farah and her Mother. Farah told this name to Prince during the game once....

There will be several Creatures in the front of Tower Of Dawn. Kill them all to get the next savepoint with game percentage completion of 90%. Prince have to get inside this tower. But, as usual the Gate and all other direct routes are closed. So, Prince climbs up the Tower of Dawn in his usual way of running around the walls, jumping between the beams and swinging through the poles. In half the way to Tower, Prince gets a savepoint in the middle, where 95% of the game is completed. Again Prince crosses several obstacles and finally goes into the Tower. Once inside, Prince see that Farah is fighting very hard with those monsterous Sand Creatures. But, she cant hold them long, and falls down the broken floor. Imediately, Prince runs and catch the Dagger of Time, which Farah is holding the other end. The Dagger tears Prince's hand and Farah cries and leaves the Dagger. She fall down and tie. Then, the Angry Mad Prince take down all the Sand Creatures ferociously as he lost his Love. ...

Come back to the Place where Prince got his sword. From there, swing through the Poles and reach the Platform there with Sand Creatures. Fight all the Sand Creatures there and kill them. A Save point appears with percentage completion of 90%. With this New Sword, just one hit will make the Creatures explode into Sands. Still the Dagger of Time is with Farah only. Below that Platform, there is a small room with a path, which leads to the Tenth and Final Life Upgrade. A Screenshot here: Again go to the Platform above and from there climb up through several hurdles and go to the tower of Dawn.

Prince and Farah have a very big Conversation in the tomb, then suddenly Farah disappears.Then Prince comes to a beautiful looking place with a VERY long staircase in front of him. On reaching the bottom of the staircase, Prince have to solve a puzzle to reach Farah. The puzzle is as follows: The circle shaped room has 9 doors apart from the Starting door. Prince have to go through all the doors in a correct sequence to reach Farah. If you listen to the Audio carefully, then you will have no problem in finding the sequence, but if you are playing the game with the speakers turned off, then there is no way you could solve this puzzle. To find the correct door to go, just stand in front of each and every door and look out for a water spilling sound. You could hear that sound, only if you are standing in front of the correct door. With this clue, solve this puzzle. After going through all the doors, a Scence appears, where is Farah is taking bath in a beautiful Place. Prince joins her and...

After the fight is over, Prince and Farah gets out of there and also Prince gets a savepoint. Upto this save, 83% of the game is completed. In that Room only, the Hourglass is kept. On reaching the top of the Hourglass, a scene starts. On top of the hourglass, Prince become really mad and was thinking why he should activate the hourglass, just because of Farah's words. He doubts that Farah may bring another Nightmare by making him to activate the Dagger. Farah was shouting at Prince to activate the Hourglass. But Prince became very confused and stand still. At this critical moment, the evil Vizier comes and with his evil Powers creates a whirlwind and throws Prince and Farah into a Tomb. Some Screenshots:

Up above the Prison, Prince faces a number of hard Sand Creatures. Here, the Sand Creatures concentrate on killing Farah. So, Prince have to save her at all cost. This fight longs for a long time, as the Creatures keep on spawning. After this hard fight is over, a Savepoint appears, upto which the game is 81% completed. Prince push the buttons there, to open up the gate, that leads to the Tomb. Then, Prince fights a number of Giant Sand Crows and goes inside the Tomb, where he gets its Ninth Life Upgrade. A Screenshot of the cracked wall that leads to the Ninth Life Upgrade: Then, Prince and Farah comes to an Elevator, where Prince will have his toughest fight in the game. At a time, Prince have to manage nearly 5 to 6 Sand Creatures and also have to save Farah. Also, this fight will be the longest one in the game. The Sand Creatures keeps on spawning for a long time. But, they come in Batches. After a batch of Sand Creatures were killed, the next batch takes some time like 30 seconds ...

This Prison has some Cool mechanisms. Usually, Prince wall run from one platform to another, which are attached to wall and static. But, here in Prison, the platforms are mobile and they project out, when a button on the wall before it is pressed. But, after a very short time, they go in to the wall again. So, the Prince have to be fast enough to cross them. Prince crosses a number of such mobile platforms and uses some Lift to reach the bottom of the Jail. Prince fights some Sand Creatures, actually the Prisoners at the bottom of the Prison. After finishing them all, a Savepoint appears with Percentage completion of 79%. Also prince gets his eigth life upgrade here. A screenshot of that: Another Cool Mechanism here is Prince stands in the edge of a Beam. There will be a button in both the Left and Right wall. On pushing them, the wall near the Beam comes closer. But, they keep on moving against each other, making the gap between them larger. Prince have to quickly jump between those m...

Prince and Farah fights a number of Sand Creatures here and a Savepoint appears after this fight. Still, the game completion percentage remains 75%. This is not a long Journey. Just after the fight, Prince runs and tries to cross a big Pit. But, unfortunately, the floor breaks down and the Prince falls into the Prison, which is just below. Screenshot:

Prince fights a bunch of Sand Creatures on entering the Courtyard and gets a savepoint here, where the game is 75% completed. Prince runs around the Palace to great heights, fights some Giant Sand Crows and finally get into the Palace, where he crosses so many fatal Obstacles like Spinning Blades. Then, he goes out of another Door to Ramparts. Screenshot:

On entering the Observatory, there will a number of Sand Creatures waiting for Prince. Prince kills all of them and saves the Progress in the Savepoint that appears after the fight is over. Game is 71% completed, upto this Point. There will a platform at the center, which when activated lifts Prince to the Top. Prince goes to the top and plays with the mechanisms above in the Observatory to open the door to the next area. Then, he comes down and enters the door to exit the Observatory. Out there will be some Hard Defense mechanisms of the Palace, that makes Prince's journey hard. Use slow motion, and cross all the hurdles there. Perfect Timing is important here. Screenshot:

There will be many Professors and Lecturers welcoming the Prince to Library, waiting to teach Prince the Lesson of Death. But, the Prince who mastered the Arts of Sword sends all of them to Hell. Then, Prince gets a Savepoint here and the game is 69% completed. Now, the Prince has to solve a Light puzzle. The task is to arrange all the Mirrors in the floor so that the light reflects at each of them and hits an Ancient Yellow Symbol in a big Pillar at the Center. Then, the Prince climbs up that large Pillar at the Center and again have to adjust all the Mirrors in the first floor to open up the closed door below, which has a New Powerful Sword inside it. Also, up there lies the Seventh Life Upgrade. Here is a screenshot of the way that leads to Seventh Life Upgrade: Solving this light Puzzle will take some time for the Prince and moving all the Mirrors to their Place, the door that has the New Sword opens. Then, the Prince gets his New Sword and proceeds to the next area, Observatory. B...

The path to the next place will be hidden behind the Curtains that hang from the wall there. Also, Farah is separated from Prince here. So, Prince roams alone and soon joins Farah. Then, they both fight together and kills some more Sand Creatures. Then the next Savepoint appears, with 65% of the game Completed. Also, after running through the available path there, Prince soon gets another Savepoint, "What Did You Call Me?" with the same 65% completion. Next, is a good looking place, which is a Library. Look at Farah:

Prince goes into the door and and catches the rope in the last room, with a Pit full of Spikes. There will be two buttons at the walls. One is white and other is yellow. Prince has to first press the White button, then the Yellow button to open the door. But, this is hard to do and requires Patience and Concentration with good timing sense. Now, Prince goes inside and had to do some hard tricks here to get to next door. Using Slow Motion here, will be helpful. Then, a number of Sand Creatures spawn and the Prince kills them all with ease. After the fight is over, Prince saves the game at the nearby Savepoint and the Game is now 62% completed.

This place has one of the most Confusing Puzzles in the game. For a newbie, this place will surely eat up a minimum of 30 minutes to solve this puzzle.This Reservoir has a number of Ropes hanging from the Ceiling and many number of Ledges along the wall and in the sides of Pillars. Finding the correct path is confusing here. Also, Prince gets his sixth Life Upgrade here. Here is a Screenshot of that Life Upgrade: [will be updated soon] There is a rope which is tied to a well above the reservoir. Prince climbs up this rope, and at the top, a number of Sand Creatures appear. Finish them all and the Prince gets a Savepoint there with the Game Percentage Completion of 60%. Some screenshots:

Go into the dark Tunnel and break the walls with your Sword and proceed. The place inside looks awesome with great graphics. Here too, Prince move along the ledges, fight some bats, run through some weak wooden platforms and he then enters into a Big Caveran. Before entering into the Caveran, the Prince jumps through many weak stalactites, which will break and leads to Prince's death if perfect timing is not maintained. In the Caveran, Prince has to go all the way down from the top, with the help of all the Ladders there. In this place, two Savepoints Waterfall and A Caveran of Ladders will be there and at the second Savepoint the Game Percentage Completion is 57%. Some screenshots: Screenshot of prince jumping the stalactites

This is a closed area with a bunch of Giant Sand Crows and some Sand Reptiles. Also, this place has the most irritating puzzle, I ever seen in the game. The puzzle is like you have to wall run from one place to other. But, the catch is there will be no wall in between. You have to make the gate below to come up and take the place of wall. To pull that Gate up, you have to pull a level and cross several obstacles and come as fast as possible. Because, the gate goes down slowly, as soon as you leave the level that is used to pull it up. Timing is very important in crossing this area. As soon as you pull that level, you have to run towards that gate very fast and even if you waste a small amount of time, while running, the Gate will go down and you cant wall run to your destination. Here, you will get a Life Upgrade, which is the fifth One. A Screenshot of the place, where you will get the Upgrade is: After this, Prince goes to a watery place, which looks awesome. Soon after entering ther...

Both Prince and Farah enter into a Room full of puzzles. Together they solve all the puzzles and comes out of the room to another bridge, which is guarded a dozen of Giant Crows. Farah runs fast to other side of the Bridge and shoots down the Crows VERY slowly to aid Prince to cross the Bridge. But, Farah is very slow, so Prince have to take care of those Crows by himself and he too crosses the bridge. The moment, Prince steps on the other side, the Bridge brokes and falls down. Then, the way to the next area will be there below where the Prince stands. Go there and after a while Prince will land on a floor. As soon as he lands there, it starts to shake and falls down. So, run as fast as you can and wall run to reach the next ledge. Half of the game is over at this point and the Prince now has 6 Sand Tanks and 6 Power Tanks. Some Screenshots:

After killing all of them, Prince climbs up the room through his own means, outside the top of the room, there is a Bridge which is closed. Then to open the bridge and to bring Farah to the bridge, Prince runs through some traps goes into the first floor of Mess Hall. There is a lever there, which on activation provides a ladder for Farah to climb up. Then, with her help, Prince goes into a locked room and pulls the level there, to open the Bridge. Then, both of them safely comes to the bridge. On trying to cross the bridge, again a bunch of Sand Creatures appear. This fight is harder than all the fights that Prince fought before. But, again Prince kills them all and a savepoint appears on the Bridge itself. Game Completion Percentage remains 46%. Some Screenshots:

Both Prince and Farah arrives a Soldier's Mess Hall. There are many Soldiers here, who are now transformed into Sand Creatures, but their Skill remains the same. At a time, The Prince have to manage around 3 to 5 soldiers. This is a little bit difficult fight and if the Prince is careless, the Soldiers turn towards Farah and kills her. Prince cant even jump behind them and attack. They simply push Prince down, when he tries to jump on them. So, I killed them all by attacking them after bouncing from the wall. They are vulnerable to this attack most times. And to save Farah, I use Freeze Enemy on soldiers who are attacking her, which uses one power tank and kills them. Game Percentage completion is 46% upto this savepoint. A Screenshot of the tough fight in Mess Hall:
