No, you don’t need to follow this step by step, and you can go in any order you wish. If you got the powers out of order, just jump to the area you are on and follow from there. Remember, command Ctrl + F is the search function.
Into the Storm
To The Temple
Okay, so the controls are much easier than you would think. For one, just move up and jump along the gaps. When you reach the wall, just jump onto the wall, aim to about mid-way over, and the Prince will finish off the action by wall-running the rest of the way. Just keep following, you’ll do a wall run and a wall jump, then you meet some bad guys.
*NOTE: For all of these starter fights, you have to do the action on the screen, then you can fight as you wish. For example, if block is on the screen you must block before you can do anything else.*
For you first fight you have an attack button, claw button, and block button, but the combat is also easier than even these three buttons would make it seem. When you grab and toss the guy into the air, press jump and you can keep attacking him. Farah, get it? Girl from the last games? Funny.
After that, follow this girl’s movement to get up the narrow gap, though you may need to jump a few more times. Then follow her along, the double-wall run may be tricky, but you will keep running after a jump, so it’s pretty simple.
After the scene, just move forward for the next fight. You are told that you can press the jump button, press the attack buttons, and by doing so you can create easy combos. For example, jump, attack, and attack again. You can even jump and grab. Of course all of this is overkill as you only need to defeat the guy.
You can now talk to Elika, so I’ll let you know now that you can press this button at any time to see if there is anything to talk about; you can do so three times right now. Climb up and do two wall runs, then you hit a narrow gap with no ground. Just jump to the right, wall run, jump and wall run to the next fight. Just claw, block, and then fight. Remember, you can string together moves, especially after a grab. If you didn’t catch the combo-ing of moves, the second fight here will force you to. After the scene, walk to the ledge, hang on, and press the button to grip-fall.
#The Temple#
Follow Elika to the temple, try to talk if you want, and follow her up the wall. If you played Assassin’s Creed this will be very similar. You don’t hold the A button or press it a lot, you just press it to climb, press it while holding up to run up, and you’ll be fine; if you press the A button while moving up the wall you will “die,” meaning she will save you, but it’s best not to be a complete idiot. You can climb those vertical parts on the ledges.
At the top, turn the crank, let go, and then gripfall down and go inside. Go to the door and jump up the vertical line to slide down the ring. Go through, talk to her twice, and then approach the tree.
You fight the big guy, and my favorite move is jump, grab, jump, and keep tapping attack until the combo is over. After each you’ll need to block his attack, then do it again until over.
For this fight with the demon, all that is new is the added button of Elika’s magic, which is just a way to twirl her around, but you can combo it with the rest all the same. Kill it and then jump along until you reach the wall. You will jump, jump again, grab the fissure, get to the end, and then press over to jump to safe land. Jump over and go up the ramp, jump across the gap, and fight another demon; maybe you luck off and can toss him off the edge by just using Elika’s magic attack three times. Jump to the ring to open the door.
Go through and now the place will start to break apart. Jump over the first gap, wall run the second, wall run the right side of the third as the wall will open, then jump to the exit and press the Elika button to swing to safety.
*NOTE: You save in the pause menu, in case you thought there was going to be a save point.*
To King’s Gate
You will then be given the map tutorial, so have fun. Set you destination to the left and exit (if you set it elsewhere we may have problems). You can now press her button to have a magic ball light your path. Then we have about 20 “real” conversations with the fixed camera, then about 20 repeating talks that end after he hums a little; achievements/trophies for going the distance.
So, let’s go left. Don’t bother with the structure along the way, you can’t climb it. Approach the opening to the path and there is a brief scene, and after you have more talking if you want, less than the last time though. Elika- jump the chasm, climb the fissure up the left side, and then use the ring and the grab button to get up higher. Next you will jump to the ledge and wall run up it without having to press a button. Now you must wall run, grab the ring, press the grab button to continue, and then jump to get on solid ground.
You are still going left. You will jump a pole, use some rings, jump from a beam to ledge, then up a fissure, and the rest is more beams climbing fissures until you all stop on a platform and Elika talks.
