Metroidvanias need to have fun and exciting bosses, which is exactly why we thought we‘d give you the chance to encounter those bosses in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown AGAIN. So, if you were silently hoping to fight those bosses more than once - this update is for you.
Lucky for you, the Steam release includes this and the other free updates right out of the box—no additional waiting needed.
Boss Revenge
Boss Revenge gives you the ability to be able to try those boss fights again (looking at you Manticore...)
-
Here is how it works:
- Gradual unlock: After beating each Boss, they are unlocked in the Boss Revenge menu, which our trusty friend Artaban has in the Haven (don’t worry you’ll learn all about the Haven later). In this challenge, you will enter each Boss Battle with a preset (Life / Weapon Upgrades / Time Powers)
- Pick your level of challenge: For each Boss, you can choose the difficulty you want to play them against: Rookie/Warrior/Hero/Immortal or No Hit. This choice is independent from the current game difficulty.
- Prove your skills and beat your records: A seal is displayed once you've beaten a Boss in a set difficulty.
Boss Rush
The greatest challenge awaits the bravest: the Boss Rush. This challenge only comes once you complete the game, where you test your abilities and skills by defeating all the main bosses in a row. And not only do you get bragging rights to yourself of how amazing you did, but you can get two outfits from it!
- Endgame challenge: The Rush gets unlocked after finishing the main story. In this challenge, you will enter with your current life/Amulets/Weapon Upgrades and Athra surges.
- Fight all Bosses in order: The fights unfold in the same order as in the main story.
- Pick your level of challenge: For each Rush, you can choose the difficulty you want to play against: Rookie/Warrior/Hero/Immortal or No Hit. This choice is independent from the current game difficulty.
- Manage your resources: The amount of Life / Potions / Arrows or Athra gauge left is kept from one battle to the next. You'll need to plan your rush, and use the possibility to change your Amulets & Athra Surges loadout between each fight wisely. Some Amulets are not active in Boss Rush to keep the experience balanced.
- Prove your skills and beat your own records: A seal is displayed once you've beaten the complete Boss Rush in any difficulty, alongside the time taken to do so. Beating the challenge on a high-difficulty setting also unlocks the seal for the lower-difficulty ones. There's a possibility there's a secret seal...
Fashion Week
I know, I know the Sands of Time outfit was fire, but we have another banger for you with this update! Only, this one you have to work for. 😎
Oh, that skin looks familiar 👀
Quality of Life
Some changes were brought with this update, and since the update will already be at your fingertips, you get to them right away!
- Wak-Wak trees fast travel: Instantly travel from one Wak-Wak tree to another, without the need to use Fast travel Altars. This ability must be purchased in the Magi Emporium in the Haven (Mage shop) and is unlocked after obtaining the Fabric of Time power.
- High contrast mode accessibility improvement: improvement on attack readability (yellow vs red enemy attacks)
Whew, that was another awesome free update if I do say so myself.
Talk to you soon,
Your Prince of Persia Community Team.
