Fantastically played all throughout. Thanks again for posting.
Maybe it's just me, after all the running and climbing and crawling and fighting, all the long-distance travel, all the close calls and frustration, the point where I finally got to roast Jaffar...and understood, at long last, what the whole point of this epic journey was...well, I couldn't even imagine a more satisfying conclusion for a computer game.
WTF why does jaffar speak arabian lol. I thought it is about Persian? Well atleast in the last 2 Games they speak persian and from PoP Sands of Time onwards the Storys have more Persian Background.
I read that the witch brought Jafar back to life, after the Prince defeated him for the first time. By that snake drawn on her forehead - the same drawning you see at the ruins - I believe that she killed the Prince's parents and helped Jafar to get the Prince, so it would put an end on his royal lineage.
Dunno, maybe the Prince's parents just pissed her off.
i can't play the game on my pc anymore because i lost the manual for it. Every time you beat a stage you had to put in a 4 symbolled password and the manual told u what it was
hey! how about this?: the witch passed herself off the Prince's mother. The palace in ruins is actually HER palace, this would explain why the spiral snake is drawn on the walls. She might be doing this as a revenge against Jafar. After all, they're both powerful evil sorcerers, though Jafar finally seized power.
Hey! Great walkthrough! Also loved the game. Question (I know it now because I saw it) how were you suposed to realize that the prince converts himself in to the shadow prince by presing shift + left, right, left, right...? Is there some sort of reference during the game about that, or players were suposed to guess it? Thx!
Thanks a lot for the great walkthrough. I agree: PoP 2 is one of the greatest games ever. Unfortunately I was to small (about 12?) when I played it so I didn't make it through the red castel without cheating. Great to see the whole game now!
its a little confusing. at first, its obvious that the prince is the blue flame, but when you chase the copy (jaffar) it looks like he killed YOU. what the heck happened?
TheIcySaracen I cant put my finger on it, but Warrior within and Two thrones lack something that Shadow and Flames had. Plus I wish THERE WAS a sequal to Shadow and flame! Whos the witch? we will never know
the witch is not jaffars mother but she is the one who ressurected him. She is the mother of the villian of the third part which is called "Prince of Persia 3D" who actually should be the husband of the princess (before our prince saved her from jaffar)
posted in another POP2 video on YouTube. The S symbol is on her forehead not under the crystal ball.
At Jaffar theres a trick where you dont have to chase the f..er around for hours. If you climb up, show yourself, go back climb down and then up again then he climbs up too, so you can shoot him straight from the other screen. takes about 5 secs
The spider's underneath the first room. You go down there and an unlimited supply of guards keep spawning. When they die, they randomly drop life expansion potions, so if you don't have enough life bottles to turn to the shadow, you can stock up here.
The witch on the end may be the mother of the Prince, and she is observing him and the princess with the crystal ball just to protect them. But she died (because she is too old) before the happenings of Prince of Persia 3d.
As I Know... She is The Evil Witch Who Gave the Life Again to Jaffar In this Game, And The Evil One Who Destroyes The Palace of Dead.(Yes. the Place Where Filled With Flying Heads and Snakes.)
how should one have known that you should set the prince on fire, if i may ask. My dad and me played this game like 12 years ago and got stuck at this level and never finished it. Just found this awesome walkthrough and was just wondering.
hey elbryan42 i'm on the final level but i dont know how to set prince on blue fire like you doit on 00:04 in the clip.. help me please i have the POP2 for pc
pls pls pls pls pls reply to this......how did u knw that by tapping left and right the shadow will b out ??.....i am using the pc version and had no idea abt this...pls tell me how u knew it :)
My brother finished this game when i was 10. i was crazy to play it myself. at the age of 20 I install on my pc. This is the last level where I was stuck for about 3 months but did not finish then I stopped to play coz I did not know the logic how to go off with sorcerer. I got it now at the age of 26. I want to play again. I am having issues to execute it on vista. Does anyone know? Is it compatible on vista.
That also is in Prince of Persia where the prince is really called The Prince and the girl is called Elika which is revealed at the beginning of the game.
But why do I tur black instead of shiny blue?? And why can't i beat the last guy? When i come close to him, he throw this spell at me. Damn that bastard! Somebody knows?
You need 11 tottle bottles at least. The twelfth bottle is good for an extra shot if you miss Jafar. That's why there's a life expansion in the boss rooms. Also, if you're low, below the starting point is a giant spider with enemies that keep respawning. The enemies sometimes drop life expansions as well.
So if you don't have enough, you can stock up at the spider.
they should make another 2d prince of persia and have you fight the witch.
personaly i always thought that the witch was jaffar's mom. or the person who killed prince's mom and dad and fucked you the castle they lived it. you know what i mean because the S one her forehead was all over that palace
but if she is jaffar's mom,didin't jaffar be one of prince's and his parents subordiant,maybe jaffar and the witch are the ones that killed prince's parents
if only the company that made this game came back and made Prince of Persia 3: The Mark of the Witch(or something). then we would know for sure.
Or Ubisoft could make this game for the X-box Live Arcade and the PSN so people could finish the story.
i mean think about it. all the Prince of Persia games fell like they were made for this one. Sands of Times(3/3), "Next Gen"(1/3),3D sucked, Origianl 2D(2/3 incompelte)
Prince of Persia 3D is the third game in the original trilogy, using the same Prince. So there's three in the original. It just doesn't explain the witch or more of the Prince's family's backstory.
And yeah, the third game didn't suck. Not many played through it all. Those that have will know that it's one of the best 3D adventures of the first generation of 3D games. The dirigible or rooftop stages is one of the most memorable in almost any game I've played it.
3D doesn't go into it because Jordan Mechner didn't head the project up. He was the driving force behind the original game, Shadow and the Flame, and Sands of Time. The other installments of the series did not involve him at all, look how far from the original concept they drifted.
I must say that this is my favourite game, but how steal the flame and how get you flame spirit at last level are the most stupid things that i saw in a game in my life. At last i end it, but it´s big deception from my favourite game..
Sice 15 years ago i tried to finish this game and when i tried to steal the flame always killed me, so finally after thousands of tries i decide stop playing. Two days ago i downloaded it again and i tried it. I saw your demostration and finally i knew how was the trick...
I got fucking freaked out when I dropped into the pit right when you entered the final level and that huge spider was there. Wrong time and place for arachnophobia......
Does that witch have anything to do with prince of persia 3d? I played the first 10 minutes or so of it, it was cool and shit, but nothing compared to this.
So,noone actuall knows who the witch is then.. Spooky.
I love the snake symbol on her forhead thats also in the ruins and such.
I suspect the witch hag at the end was the prince's 'mother' in the cut scenes earlier. Notice the snake mark on her forehead - it's the same mark found in the ruins.
Apparently, she did not tell the whole truth about the prince's past, and used him as a pawn to eliminate Jaffar.
hey!! that about the flame wasnt that strange... but i did it diferently, i jumped with the prince next to the flame, an then went back to trhe exit door, the only difference is taht the eagles didnt treat me like a god
anyway whats this temple and the flame supposed to be?
dont you think that pop1 was much more harder than pop2 ??
Saving was in POP1 as Ctrl-G. You saved by pressing Ctrl-L from the title screen. You returned to the title screen by pressing Ctrl-R. So Ctrl-R, then Ctrl-L to load a game in seconds. It's my initials, so yeah. Odd. :P
Also, Ctrl-Q quit the game, Ctrl-K toggled the keyboard, Ctrl-J toggled the joystick, Ctrl-S toggled sound and Ctrl-M toggled music.
POP2 just changed the hotkeys to pressing Alt-G, Alt-L, etc, etc since Ctrl was now your sword button. Though you didn't have to return to the title screen to load this time.
And yup, the manual did have instructions on becoming the shadow.
Anyways, the game can still be bought for the PC. It's in bargain bins with POP1 on a single CD. But it's still easier to play it on Prince of Persia: Sands of Time for the XBox, which is very easy to find.
But about the hotkeys, they weren't that hard to figure out back in the day. Before menus were standard, almost every application, not just games, used Ctrl-something or Alt-something for functions like that. Or they used the F1-F12 keys, but that wasn't as common.
It was usually the first letter of the function you wanted to perform. Q normally quit (or X for exit), S normally saved (except for POP where it was G to save Game), L for load, and so on.
...so I swallowed my pride and took a look at your part 7 video as well as the way to activate the flame... Luckily I still had 10 minutes left in my game and could activate the flame despite not dieing in the previous level, and then I killed Jafar on my second try!
It would have been nice if the door didn't open in the flame level so that I would have known I was not doing something right. However, even then I wouldn't have known the sequence to activate the power (was it in the manual?)...
...then today after playing through the game again, I reached the final level and after wasting 20 minutes there, I had my brother go on youtube and find out if I was doing something wrong (I wanted to find the solution by myself, that's why I sent him...), and then I heard him say "I'm seeing really weird things here" (referring to the way you're supposed to acquire the flame power), and let me know I was wasting my time...
...so I reached the final level without knowing about the flame power... But I had only 10 minutes left, so after messing a little bit with the four illusions and Jafar, and getting killed while pulling out my sword, I ran out of time and had to start over... The following day I reached the final level again but this time with 30 minutes left... I messed around with the spider, the illusions, Jafar... I still had no clue what to do and ran out of time once more...
...so I had to start over every time I ran out of time... and that means OFTEN! How many hours did I waste to beat a game that in fact only takes 1 hour to finish ;)
Secondly, in the flame level, after wasting a game trying to walk/jump/duck into it (and having to start all over gain, once more), I found out if I just went in front of the flame, then came back to the door, it was opened, so I figured it was how your supposed to do it...
Well well well... 15 years after its release, I have finally beaten this game, but not without some trouble.
Firstly, I didn't know it was possible to save in this game... I downloaded a cracked version and there was no manual or game menu, plus in the original PoP you couldn't save (unless it was possible back then too but I didn't know either, lol), so I figured it was the same for PoP2. I actually just learned I could have saved all along by reading through the comments here...
ahum sorry to ask this but wdf! i did play this lvl a whole lotta different cuz there 2 endings 1 u pwn him normally 2 u kill him with the ghost and 3 if u had the sword u get the best ending :D so theyre from worst to best endings dude try em
Um, no. There's only one ending. You can only kill him with the flame. Engaging him with the sword makes him turn your sword against you, then he kills you instantly. And having less than 4 life bottles makes the flame go out, which also gets you killed instantly.
start with 9 health otherwise you will die! then when the level starts start turning left - right -left- right..... until your shadow comes to life! just like what you see in the video here!
well done mate well done:) 5/5 timeless classic. These PC games were considered state of the art with graphics like that,reminiscing bout a time when mc donalds was once in a while and considered only on special occasions reagan was a great president launching the states into economic super power status, fathers worked hard and the world was a less unfriendly place.
The menu's in the XBox version only. If you're playing the PC version, if check the manual, you'd see that Alt-R returns to the intro, Alt-G saves, Alt-L loads, and Alt-Q quits.
I hope you didn't just download the game, but bought it somewhere.
Back in the day, I could. It took forever, but I eventually figured it out. Jaffar killed me in one hit countless times. If you miss, you lose your flame, and you have to refill it with a life expansion. So, if you miss, he comes after you, one hit, you're dead.
If you don't have enough life expansions to become the shadow without dying (so, 11 life bottles in all, 12 is the max), you can climb straight down at the start and fight a whole bunch of guards on a giant spider.
The thing is, they randomly drop potions, so you can be down there fighting guards forever to get a few potions. Or you could get potions right away. The spider looks cool though. :)
is there anythign more about the creepy witch and why she has the same symbol on her forehead that was on the walls of the ruins?

You don't need to come near Jaffar. When Jaffar stands before the prince, just press Ctrl, Jaffar will die automatically.

I got fucking freaked out when I dropped into the pit right when you entered the final level and that huge spider was there. Wrong time and place for arachnophobia......

Dont assume you could post a video of that spider?
Would love to see what a spider in this game could look like :)

Does that witch have anything to do with prince of persia 3d? I played the first 10 minutes or so of it, it was cool and shit, but nothing compared to this.
So,noone actuall knows who the witch is then.. Spooky.
I love the snake symbol on her forhead thats also in the ruins and such.
dudemcguy 3 years ago
Nope, the witch is absent in POP3D.
elbryan42 3 years ago
Hmm, thats a shame.. :\
Allthough the story was'nt amazing, the witch thing still has me, XD

that old witch was jaffars mentor and she revived him after the prince killed him in pop 1
bobo225883 3 years ago 2
I suspect the witch hag at the end was the prince's 'mother' in the cut scenes earlier. Notice the snake mark on her forehead - it's the same mark found in the ruins.
Apparently, she did not tell the whole truth about the prince's past, and used him as a pawn to eliminate Jaffar.

is there a vid of you going up against him without flame? i want to see that death.
cheffdonty 3 years ago
yes, finally completed, I think the flame is stronger than jaffar, because when you use it at the wrong moment, he kills you with his magic.
I also tried what happend if you jump to the flame when you aren't the shadow: hurtz
marty10009 3 years ago
Why is Jaffar running away from the flame? Is he scared of being burned to death? Haha
To elbryan42: you said that Jaffar will kill you instantly if you attack him with a sword.
If you actually give Jaffar a chase without turning into a flame, does he still run away from you like this video clip that you showed?
I mean, Jaffar could easily kill you in that case
LaserionBlack 3 years ago
Nope, he just attacks you instantly, killing you. He actually impales you with your own sword.
elbryan42 3 years ago
so that means that Jaffar doesnt play a hide-and-seek like the above footage and just attacks you straight away?
That means you have to run away from Jaffar to avoid getting killed!
In other words, roles are reversed from the above!

who is that at 2:24??
legorocks3 3 years ago
hey!! that about the flame wasnt that strange... but i did it diferently, i jumped with the prince next to the flame, an then went back to trhe exit door, the only difference is taht the eagles didnt treat me like a god

I remember seeing pictures of the game in a magazine (I think PC Gaming World) and just HAD to have this game the day it was released.
The chess board with the Prince, Princess and Sultan in particualar was creepy and unnerving enough to make me want the game.
Ever since that preview screenshot, I've been creeped out by that chessboard. LOL. :)
elbryan42 3 years ago
No problem. You had a lot to say. :P
Saving was in POP1 as Ctrl-G. You saved by pressing Ctrl-L from the title screen. You returned to the title screen by pressing Ctrl-R. So Ctrl-R, then Ctrl-L to load a game in seconds. It's my initials, so yeah. Odd. :P
Also, Ctrl-Q quit the game, Ctrl-K toggled the keyboard, Ctrl-J toggled the joystick, Ctrl-S toggled sound and Ctrl-M toggled music.
elbryan42 3 years ago
POP2 just changed the hotkeys to pressing Alt-G, Alt-L, etc, etc since Ctrl was now your sword button. Though you didn't have to return to the title screen to load this time.
elbryan42 3 years ago
And yup, the manual did have instructions on becoming the shadow.
Anyways, the game can still be bought for the PC. It's in bargain bins with POP1 on a single CD. But it's still easier to play it on Prince of Persia: Sands of Time for the XBox, which is very easy to find.
elbryan42 3 years ago
But about the hotkeys, they weren't that hard to figure out back in the day. Before menus were standard, almost every application, not just games, used Ctrl-something or Alt-something for functions like that. Or they used the F1-F12 keys, but that wasn't as common.
It was usually the first letter of the function you wanted to perform. Q normally quit (or X for exit), S normally saved (except for POP where it was G to save Game), L for load, and so on.
elbryan42 3 years ago
...so I swallowed my pride and took a look at your part 7 video as well as the way to activate the flame... Luckily I still had 10 minutes left in my game and could activate the flame despite not dieing in the previous level, and then I killed Jafar on my second try!
It would have been nice if the door didn't open in the flame level so that I would have known I was not doing something right. However, even then I wouldn't have known the sequence to activate the power (was it in the manual?)...
Damzified 3 years ago
...then today after playing through the game again, I reached the final level and after wasting 20 minutes there, I had my brother go on youtube and find out if I was doing something wrong (I wanted to find the solution by myself, that's why I sent him...), and then I heard him say "I'm seeing really weird things here" (referring to the way you're supposed to acquire the flame power), and let me know I was wasting my time...
Damzified 3 years ago
...so I reached the final level without knowing about the flame power... But I had only 10 minutes left, so after messing a little bit with the four illusions and Jafar, and getting killed while pulling out my sword, I ran out of time and had to start over... The following day I reached the final level again but this time with 30 minutes left... I messed around with the spider, the illusions, Jafar... I still had no clue what to do and ran out of time once more...
Damzified 3 years ago
...so I had to start over every time I ran out of time... and that means OFTEN! How many hours did I waste to beat a game that in fact only takes 1 hour to finish ;)
Secondly, in the flame level, after wasting a game trying to walk/jump/duck into it (and having to start all over gain, once more), I found out if I just went in front of the flame, then came back to the door, it was opened, so I figured it was how your supposed to do it...
Damzified 3 years ago
Well well well... 15 years after its release, I have finally beaten this game, but not without some trouble.
Firstly, I didn't know it was possible to save in this game... I downloaded a cracked version and there was no manual or game menu, plus in the original PoP you couldn't save (unless it was possible back then too but I didn't know either, lol), so I figured it was the same for PoP2. I actually just learned I could have saved all along by reading through the comments here...

why didnt he got the sword at part 7????
miciso666 3 years ago
Because, you can't get the sword. It's an enemy.
elbryan42 3 years ago
what will happen if he didnt turn into shadow?
hesha3000 3 years ago
Jaffar kills you instantly unless you attack him as a shadow.
elbryan42 3 years ago
ahum sorry to ask this but wdf! i did play this lvl a whole lotta different cuz there 2 endings 1 u pwn him normally 2 u kill him with the ghost and 3 if u had the sword u get the best ending :D so theyre from worst to best endings dude try em
miciso666 3 years ago
Um, no. There's only one ending. You can only kill him with the flame. Engaging him with the sword makes him turn your sword against you, then he kills you instantly. And having less than 4 life bottles makes the flame go out, which also gets you killed instantly.
elbryan42 3 years ago
Yes, that's quite crappy, if you miss too many life upgrades you'll never turn into flame ghost.

well done mate well done:) 5/5 timeless classic. These PC games were considered state of the art with graphics like that,reminiscing bout a time when mc donalds was once in a while and considered only on special occasions reagan was a great president launching the states into economic super power status, fathers worked hard and the world was a less unfriendly place.

Hy all,
Could anyone tell me how I can save the game? Where can I find the page with the options load game, new game etc.?
zsoofie17 4 years ago
The menu's in the XBox version only. If you're playing the PC version, if check the manual, you'd see that Alt-R returns to the intro, Alt-G saves, Alt-L loads, and Alt-Q quits.
I hope you didn't just download the game, but bought it somewhere.
elbryan42 4 years ago
... and they lived happily ever after. i bet nobody can complete the last level without some hint, at least i can't :)
tahirawan11 4 years ago
Back in the day, I could. It took forever, but I eventually figured it out. Jaffar killed me in one hit countless times. If you miss, you lose your flame, and you have to refill it with a life expansion. So, if you miss, he comes after you, one hit, you're dead.
Great game nonetheless. :)
elbryan42 4 years ago

This is from the XBox version of Sands of Time, which is a port of the PC version.
elbryan42 4 years ago
Hmm... I'm a bit confused. Isn't there a part somewhere in the finale with a gigantic spider?
fearfactoryzero 4 years ago
If you don't have enough life expansions to become the shadow without dying (so, 11 life bottles in all, 12 is the max), you can climb straight down at the start and fight a whole bunch of guards on a giant spider.
The thing is, they randomly drop potions, so you can be down there fighting guards forever to get a few potions. Or you could get potions right away. The spider looks cool though. :)
