It's so fitting for that secret passage out of the throne room to be there. You play the game for the first time and when you return, you think, "wow, a convenient back door into the throne room". But it works so well, knowing Kaileena's character: the throne room itself is behind a massive sealed vault door, AND there's a secret time portal hidden behind her throne. She has a means of sealing herself inside, and 2 escape routes if she has to get out.
always knew that the mechanical tower was meant to be the first one the player would visit, this just confirms it further kinda sad that they didn't touch the enemy encounters for the lion sword honestly, makes it almost a stroll if you go water first
indeed, there arent any forced fights in the water tower and 0 brutes. I always go mech tower first just for the challenge now days haha. But yes even in development, mech tower was the first thing to be created. Originally there were actually gonna be 3 towers funnily enough.
@@poptuts i always done the mech tower first because i find it kinda boring and like much the gardens. As well i find the desing of lion sword more cool and find the serpent sword kinda ugly, alongside of the boring mech tower
Has Warrior Withing given me Protanopia that I can't distinguish the color changes of Prince's armor? Great video! Really informative! I really want more Warrior Within videos!
Cool video, I'm still glad people are making videod about PoP trilogy in 2022 Could you maybe do a video showcasing the "dead SoT prince" model in WW? (If you know what I'm talking about, the easter egg of sot prince model dead, with his body decaying)
@@maseehwardak6055 I'm tired of looking through a russian site for it again lol, but basically when u first reach the island of time there are corpses hanged on the beach, and one of those corpses has a modified sot prince model, and through the game you can find different parts of his body. Like his legs and torso etc
Personally, I wished in Pop:WW, the developers should've kept the secondary weapon icon without having a limited stamina when using combos just like in the demo. That way you can either still keep the secondary weapon throughout the whole game without any sense of damaging it while using against the enemy via dual wielding or just throw it like a frisbee.
Very interesting. What happens though if you complete only garden tower, so you should have Serpent sword for Kaileena fight and then you couldn't have broken lion sword. How does that work?
The game doesnt care what sword you have before the cutscene. Even if you have water sword it turns into broken lion sword. Lion sword and broken lion sword are counted as different weapons.
Original Xbox version has the Water Garden bug. ALWAYS DO THE MECH TOWER FIRST. If you do Gardens first, the 4 levers may not come up and doing the Mech Towers won't fix it.
I'm confused, my ps2 prince of persia warrior within is combination of final and prototype 😂 but I finished this game countless times wielding water sword
Another thing, hopefully for future remakes/remastered version of Pop series, specifically in the Warrior Within game, can a modder or anyone please add King Sharaman's sword in the mix, I know it was in The Two Thrones, but I don't mind using that sword against the Dahaka in the final boss battle.
This will sound odd, but can you do a compilation video of all the autosave checkpoints in the game? Autosave checkpoints are hidden, in that the game doesnt tell u when they happen, but they can be very useful when u know about them. For example, the Prison checkpoint in the room with the box you must push on the floor button. Or the Library right before the first ladder. Or how every life upgrade i have tried it on makes a checkpoint when u get it so that if u die on your way back, you can just try again without having to do the life upgrade pedestal again. Where did u get access to the prototype?
Not sure if that warrants its own video but i can definitely fit it in with another bigger video like Warrior Within facts, but thats still a while away. Prototype can be accessed from hiddenpalace(dot)com
@@poptuts Have you heard about this cheat? Allegedly, there's a way to become Sandwraith extremely early. This is supposed to work in the warp room you find after having defeated Shahdee in the Sacrificial Altar, the warp room where the Prince "says something is wrong". I'll copy and paste the trick, that I've seen repeated verbatim in multiple websites: "You must run the switches on the wall to make the portal work correctly. Do not run the switches on the wall. Instead, enter the portal as it is and you will switch the time to the present. Save the game, then exit and load the game. You will now be playing as Sandwraith." I have tried to replicate this cheat in my version of the game but it just doesn't work. Specifically, the part where I must "enter the portal as it is". If I don't press the buttons, the portal just doesn't take me to the present. I've looked up videos of that part in other versions (like japanese pcsx2, gamecube), and I don't see the warp portal working there either, at least as indicated by the lack of that sand cloud you see (maybe it works in those versions in spite of the lack of sand cloud). Any input? Am I missing something? This would be a really cool trick if I could do it. I'm using the PS3 HD Trilogy version.
@@babbisp1 im not sure about that specific strategy ive never heard of that. The way to turn into sandwraith is by making the game think you are in a later part of the game. Warrior within works on story gates. Since you visit the same areas multiple times, the game has a number running in the background to keep track of where you are in the story. Certain things make that number change drastically such as activating the towers The easiest way to do this is to get to the foundry early. In my “wooden stick to kaileena” video i show how to do this, you will need to learn the zip glitch first which i also made a video on.
will you play the The Two Thrones prototype? I was using XEMU but i had a lot of glitches on the graphics and it was at 10fps, it seems its only developed until the marketplace.
peoples make videos and stuff about games like half life, golden eye etc so keep making videos on classics like this someone out there appreciates it its me today it could be you tommorow
I am currently editing a Sands of Time prototype video (its very long). However a two thrones video seems impossible at the moment. The only prototype we have is an xbox original prototype build and Xbox emulators are not at the level of ps2 emulators. The two thrones loads but cant be played because of a black screen, Ive tried multiple emulators but its no use. I may get original hardware at some point but its quite an investment to make for a single game lmao.
There is a site called “hidden palace” that has old unreleased tech roms. I cant link it to RU-vid because it is technically piracy and i dont want to risk my channel.
I'm playing this trilogy in my phone with the help of Dolphin emulator...my processor is helio g80 and it runs the game fine... You should give it a try...
after killing kaileena(empress) for the first time, it shows me in throne room but one second later it loaded screen appears and send me to beach without dahaka chase, i dont die after nor meanwhile fighting empress, literally I cant control prince after the fight it pops loading screen and take me directly to beach, I think I have a prototype of the prototype hahahaha
It's a major glitch found only on pirated copies. You cannot progress into the game, unless if you return to throne room and enter the time portal to the sacred caves where the game resume as a sandwraith. To enter time portal in throne room you need to obtain the scorpion sword or water sword to break the wall. Another way is to zip through the wall to teleport you to the other side
Sadly no, that is the e3 build from late may. The earliest “build” we have is the ps2 demos dated late august. The e3 build was never made public sadly.
@@poptuts goddamn but how nobody escaped with a disc or something. We need to play it on pcsx2. I believe i saw another demo where you would fight at the clock tower and then dahaka shows up at the end in the same style.
@@LuciaGTAVI665 yes that demo we do have. That demo was actually made after the games release. Its not really that interesting since everything is identical apart from that weird dahaka bit lol
You have to remember that the prototypes were for the PS2 primarily... It's kinda funny that the prototype (not sure if it was the Oct 27th or Oct 25th build?) was distributed as a "bootleg" PS2 version... It would soft lock after the first Kaileena fight where the Dahaka chase never happens... It also has the enemy and trap layout mentioned in this video...
