How To Solve The Upper City Chakram Puzzle In Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown

As you pursue Anahita into the Upper City of the Citadel in , you will be stopped by a Chakram puzzle with two lion statues that may be difficult to solve. This platforming section relies on the alternate form of Menolias' Bow that transforms the weapon into a spinning blade. This Chakram can interact with the world to open up new paths, but must be used carefully for this puzzle.

The only way to reach this puzzle in the first place is to get Menolias' Bow by defeating the boar boss that lurks in the Hyrcanian Forest area. Once you beat Jahandar in , you'll be able to pursue the kidnapped Prince Ghassan into the Upper City. Doing this unlocks the Simurgh Dash ability, which lets Sargon dash once in the air whenever you press the R2 button on your controller.

The first step to solve the Upper City Chakram Puzzle is to throw the Chakram into the ring between both lion statues. This will cause the mechanism to spin, and shift both stone lions away from each other closer to the walls of the room in. Go to the left wall, then jump off the wall and use Sargon's Simurgh Dash to reach the hanging pole with the blue ribbon protruding from the lion statue.

Recall your Chakram using the same button used to fire arrows from Menolias' Bow in. The next step here will be to drop from the platform, and use your Dash to reach the same pole you swung off of before. The lion statues should be near each other again in a place where you can swing off the pole to the platform above the statue on the right.

You'll want to use your Chakram on the central ring again to separate the statues once more, but make sure to wait until they are fully apart before doing anything. Drop from the platform, and Dash onto the pole attached to the statue on the right this time. Jump onto the platform above you, then make your way up and to the left before reaching a lever you need to activate in order to continue in .

Activating the lever drops a steel platform above the central part of the room, which
