Prince of Persia 2 - Level 4 - Bridge Walkthrough

This is a famous part from Prince of Persia 2 ("The Shadow and the Flame"): The Skeleton Bridge Battle.

You face an invulnerable skeleton that blocks your way, shuts your essential gate, and if that's not enough - the bridge is collapsing under your feet during the fight.
This walkthrough shows how to pass this part.

Is this the correct way to get pass it?

@wormsdk

Yes, it's not a "trick", that's the conventional way of doing it.

[HansRachid]

lol so that's how you're supposed to do ! I found an easier and faster way to pass the bridge which involves jumping at the right time through the skeleton, but I wondered why I lost my sword at the beginning of the next serie of levels... It was supposed to have fallen down the bridge ! Thanks for this video.

Glad you enjoyed...

It reminds me this famous workaround: *YouTube-link*watch?v=9iN3f3fI­ZLs

Later I saw this unbelievable video: *YouTube-link*watch?v=6ZrPScFR­HKs

also upon PC, shows that tactic you talked about.

I was trying to restore this amazing move, but unsuccessfully...

[csakadiosgyor94]

still impossible

[VlackRans]

but in the snes version this skeleton is faster and he avoiding the switch places

I once kept the sword somehow and all I had to do was hang off the ledge and up again to drop it.

this was useful after I spent hours trying

How to make the skeleton disappear:

1. Go to the bridge room, in order to show him for the first time.

2. Go back and follow the upward tiles. There is an opening.

3. In that room you will see an energy potion. Go there (it's not necessary to drink it).

4. Go down to the bridge room again and voila! The skeleton is gone!

Now you have to be really fast and careful when jumping towards and through that door.

[Cube8]

I have managed to jump through him but it's extremely difficult.

Also, it is very easy to make him disappear but then the door closes in a very short time (on its own - I still wonder who pressed the button), so you need to run and jump fast.
