Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones platforming and health upgrades: dagger bases, shutters and chariots
Read Babylon’s new traversal signals and distinguish permanent health upgrades from ordinary healing.
Edition covered
The original 2005 Two Thrones campaign. Ubisoft Steam pictures show the original PC game. Rival Swords on Wii/PSP and their version-specific features are outside this reference.
Use the dagger bases as route anchors
Marked dagger surfaces let the Prince hold a wall position and link another move. Look for the next base, ledge or shutter before releasing the current grip.
| Element | Action | Check |
|---|---|---|
| Dagger base | Stab and hold position | Direction of the next jump or run |
| Shutter | Rebound along the intended route | Timing and landing surface |
| Narrow gap between walls | Chain rebounds | Keep the upward rhythm |
| Daggertail point | Use the Dark Prince’s chain | Current playable form |
Read diagonal rebounds and moving surfaces
Two Thrones adds routes that ask for angled rebounds and timed movement. Use the camera to understand where the next catch lies instead of repeating a straight jump at an offset target.
| Situation | Preparation | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Hidden upgrade corridor | Keep sand available | Trap mistakes can be rewound |
| Water fountain | Drink and save when prompted | Create a recovery point |
| Chariot lane narrows | Choose a clear line early | Late steering causes collisions |
| Enemy boards the chariot | Use the attack response | Remove the immediate obstruction |
Look for hidden health routes
The campaign contains six hidden health upgrades. Their side routes include hazards, so keep sand for rewind and a fountain save before a difficult detour.
Use rewind during chariot mistakes
Chariot sequences demand lane control, collision avoidance and responses to boarding enemies. Rewind promptly after a crash rather than treating the whole sequence as a mandatory restart.
