Almost competed the game, and I have to say the difficulty level towards the end, particularly in the fire/ice boss fights really gets a bit out of whack and falls squarely on the wrong side of acceptable frustration levels. I don't mind "difficult" one bit, so long as the player remains in control and is able to get better, but being pinned down against a wall by a half dozen mobs on a slippery platform with absolutely zero chance to escape, is Not Fun. It took me around a dozen attempts to get through the fire boss fight, and after about as many now attempting to clear the ice one, I simply no longer feel like going back to the game.
Can anyone tell me how to get past the great caves? I don't know how to get the third spell, please help me
I can't seem to find area 29 on the map. Been through many times, and no joy. Anybody remember what they did to get here?
Fiery depths?? im stuck in this one room with four signs (other than the one i came in) and two platforms in the center. if you go into the bottom right path you end up in the top left and vice versa. its really annoying please help. the map shows it to be the great caves below the great caves that are below the chambers of power
See the pic for 27c - the exit is to the top-right from it. Keep falling on the right side of the infinite fall and once you see the place, jump onto it. When you go into the paths in a certain order, torches will light up in the background. Have a look while you're running around. (Someone posted a solution earlier, if you can't figure it out)
Directions from the portal in zone 25: Go right, keep going right 'till the next zone. Take the upper path behind the breakable wall, keep going right to the next zone. Jump across lots of the small platforms to the next zone. You'll see the screen zoomed out to the pic for 25b. Drop down and go left. Also a note for everyone: While I make an effort to try and answer most questions in this thread, I won't reply to any personal contacts (i.e. PM). Please post here, as it will be beneficial to others to see the replies. And since mostly the same questions keep popping up, I think I'll make an FAQ and add (some) solutions there to reduce the flow in posts.
Yeah I do agree it gets harder towards the end, but stick in there. Not sure what gear you have right now, but equipping the fire trinket on your sword will help you kill those mobs pretty quick. Also keep in mind that they drop health/energy pickups, so I personally saw those mobs as a good thing, lol. Bring a potion as well, if you haven't been doing so already.
Ugh, I worry about that. I noticed issues early on that made me think that things might turn south later in the game, this confirms it. But using fire/ice buffs and grinding should help a bit? Maybe?
I am looking for this info as well. I am in the fiery depths, but have no idea where to get the third spell.
Well, yes, I can go away, grind to buy better armour, bring a potion, etc. (And I most likely will.) But in a way that's my point: these later boss fights become a war of attrition, highly dependent on luck. In the best games in this genre, if you are good enough, you can win any boss fight without taking a hit, or near enough. Now, this is still a great game, and miles in front of anything on iOS, but it does have these flaws that the very, very best examples of the genre on any platform do rise above. I think acknowledging them can only make the game better.
Have to agree 100%. I only beat the game because of luck after 30+ tries with the last two bosses... But there's great examples of platformers with boss battles that are challenging, but still have patterns that you can learn, and eventually pull off perfectly, where a lot of the fun is in figuring out those patterns... But here, it's less about patterns, and more about just being lucky enough to survive the battle... With a little tweaking, these bosses could become 'epic' instead of just messy all out hack n slash frenzied action... Then again, maybe that's exactly what the Devs were going for... Less pattern based, more 'hold on to the edge of your seat, oh no wait, get frustrated until you get lucky, or exploit a bug' kind of gameplay... ... Never know. =oP
and honestly, that's something i really want to see more in the future... im tired of games being too easy cuz people don't want to work to see the ending... of course Gabrien, you are entitled to your opinion regarding difficulty, but I find that things like "i can't get past this, make it easier" is what makes iOS games to be taken lightly.... It's no wonder almost no serious gamer takes iOS seriously... NES games are the perfect example(First Legend of Zelda comes to mind)... very ��������ing hard, and no one complained.... now people complain if it takes more than 1 try, or if it takes 1 try with their eyes closed. Honestly i like that this game makes you feel that way..... Gives me hope that, while this game is fun, it will ramp up in difficulty... otherwise imma get bored quick I really hope you can finish this game and fun, but i also hope the devs don't listen to your comment on difficulty and make it easy to finish... sorry to say it like this, but I'm really tired of playing easy games on iOS =/ And i don't mean no disrespect towards you, I just really don't want a lower difficulty and i tried my best to say it without starting troubles
While I do, in part, agree with a lot of what you write, I too long for the challenges like the games of yesteryear, it sounds like you haven't completed this particular game yet, or even reached those extremely challenging parts yet.. It is hard in a way that could remain hard, but not quite as frustrating with a few tweaks by the developer. For me, the latter part of the game could be made less frustrating with a few more portals. There's some parts near the end where you have to go through one extremely challenging part after the other, die again and again, just to meet the boss with very low health, only then you can begin to try and figure out the strategy to beat him. And die. Rince and repeat. Again, again and again.... I'm currently fighting the very last boss, fortunately there's a portal just before you meet him, however, when I thought I finally beat him, after countless tries, he changes form to a clone of my character that is double as hard as the previous bosses, and so far I can't beat him. To try again, I have to beat the previous boss again! Have to do it all over again, and again, and again... The latter parts of this game really is a tad too hard for my tastes. This comes from a guy who beat the original pc editions of Prince of Persia 1 & 2. And they were HARD..
Hi guys! I love the game, but I suspect the difficulty will get worse for us casual platform gamers. I am stuck and hope that someone will help me. I am at the portal where the elf girl is - she is telling me not to go down..that crazy fire bat thing - Wow, isn't that a bit difficult? I guess that down is not the way to go, so I go up where the cemetery is and I cannot jump to the skeleton with the sword. I thought that I've managed to perfect the double long jump...am I doing something wrong? Then there is the 3rd option and I know that this is the way to go ( King's road I think) . I arrive at the bridges suspended in air ( water is down below)and I cannot get to the second one because there is a rock in the middle of the first and second one and it knocks me in the water every time I jump. I have most of the treasures -but haven't managed to get the one above the wheel where you have to rock the "bridge" - it is too far- is that the treasure that is preventing me from getting further? Soooo want to play this game more. Sorry for my english and a long post. Please help.
