Prince of Persia 2: The Shadow and the Flame (XBox) Part 7 of 10

Here's a runthrough of Prince of Persia 2: The Shadow and the Flame, one of THE BEST games ever made. I try to pick up every life expansion, and after completion, will show alternate paths through two of the levels (Ruins 2 and Temple 3).

This is part 7, the level Temple 3, Altar, Final 1 and a cutscene.

This game is the first game I bought the day of release, back in 1993. And with Prince of Persia Classic being released on XBLA, I figured I'd play through POP2 again (recorded from XBox Sands of Time).

haha thats the stage that i got stuck when i was like 10 yr old :D

btw u kinda suck at fighting xD

[elbryan42]

Totally intentional. The whole point is to die in front of the flame.

[pobesnelizmaj]

oh man, i was a 7 years old boy playing this , and untill today i didn't know what to do with the flame i am so happy now, can you please tell me where is it written he who wants to steal the flame must die?

[elbryan42]

It's on the background of the screen at 5:32.

Something strange at 1:29. When I get that potion the little dwarf opens the door to the next level, which is exactly in the left of this screen...and here it isn´t. Maybe I have a different version? Weird...

[elbryan42]

I've owned the PC version since it's release, and played through the Mac version as well. The same on both of those. Maybe you're playing the SNES version? They changed a lot with that one, for the worse.

1:32

[PapagenoJuan]

See, I never knew you had to DIE to get the flame.

I could never figure that out!!! I could never beat the game :(

[Theethruth]

[Tenki09]

[rhinomantis88]

Does anyone know what religion those birdmen are? Hindu?

[pablito12sc]

W T F!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[alonalon777]

wow smart, he who wants to steal the flame must die

they acctually told you how to steal it.

at first i thought that everyone needs to kill the one that is trying :/

[Tenom1]

What's that other sword about?

[hawaiidkw]

Re. "He who would steal the flame must die." It's a brilliant double entendre. It can be interpret as either "If you try to take the flame, you'll burn to death." or "To gain the power of the flame, you must die willingly." BOTH interpretations are correct.

And just as a refresher, the Shadow Man isn't and never was evil. He opposed you before because he thought *you* were trying to kill *him*. Once you correct this misunderstanding, he's glad to be your friend and ally.
