RESERVOIR

 

Go to the protruding narrow beam on the left side of the platform.


The other narrow beam

 

Notice that the air is Corrupted past the beam. Jump to the first column, immediately climb up and prepare a fast roof run.


Jump to the column and climb up

 

Roof run past three rings to the second column before the air gets completely dark.


Roof run to the first ring and press red


Continue to the second ring and press red


Press red on the third ring


Continue to the next column

 

Quickly jump backwards to the wall when the blob is out of sight. The Prince will start wall running to the vines on the right. Immediately shimmy right.


Jump to the wall


Wall run to the vines


Shimmy right

 

Wait for the second blob of a pair (vertical) to go up or down and wall run to the ledge on your right.


Wall run NOW!


Avoid the blobs


Jump off to the ledge

 

You’re back in clean air here.

Prince: That doesn’t look like it was built by the Ahura.
Elika: It was built by their hands, but only once they had been enslaved. It is one of The Alchemist’s machines.
Prince: The Alchemist doesn’t look like the type for midnight skinny dipping. So what did he keep in that?
[NOTE: The Prince refers to the Reservoir on the opposite side]
Elika: Corruption. He pumped it to other parts of the City, manipulating it, changing it into new forms.
Prince: None of this look like a thousand years old. I meant it’s decrepit. But that decrepit.
Elika: Once he was gone, we, the Ahura, used it to feed the City with water, until it stopped working. By that time the Thinkers, Philosophers, Alchemists had all left. There was no one left to fix the machine. Since then... it has fallen into decay.
Prince: You used this to feed the City with water? So, not all The Alchemist’s machines are bad?
Elika: Oh, they are. We just put this to good work after he had been imprisoned.
Prince: Hmmm, imagine this full of water, surrounded by nature. Your own private oasis in the middle of the Desert, hey, Princess?
Elika:


That’s me, I’m all about excess.

 

Prince: Did you have your own hand maidens too?
Elika: You can feed that part of your imagination without my help.
Prince: Chances are when The Alchemist refills that Reservoir he’s not going to put water in it.

Jump and slide down from the slope near the ledge.


Slide down

 

At the end of the slope jump to the wall and wall run to the vines. Shimmy all the way right.


Jump to the wall and wall run to the vines


Shimmy right

 

Wall run to the vertical narrow shaft on your right.


To the vertical narrow shaft

 

Climb up to a connecting narrow ledge and shimmy right. Prepare a wall run.

Slide down and jump to the wall.


Jump from the end of the slope to the wall

 

Touching the wall the Prince will wall run up to the vines. Climb up.


To the vines

 

Wall run up to the next ledge.


Up to the next ledge

 

There are two ways to go from here:

-        the path following two narrow ledges and vines on the left. This is the path to Construction Yard. That’s not your destination.

-        a red Power Plate on the right. Ask Elika: her Light Flare will go to the red Plate. This is the way to the Fertile Ground.


Elika shows the path of the red Plate

 

Go down to the lower part of the ledge from where you have a good view of the Corrupted Reservoir.


A good view of the Reservoir

 

Elika: The Fertile Ground is at the bottom of that vessel.
Prince: You put the Fertile Ground at the bottom of a Reservoir?
Elika: How better to protect it than by putting it underwater?
Prince: How about putting it under several thousand bucket loads of Corruption? That’s my bet for what The Alchemist is planning.
Elika: The Plate over there must lead down to the bottom.
Prince: I hope you’re ready for trouble, because if we have to go swimming in Corruption, well... I didn’t even bring a towel.

Wall run to the red Power Plate.


To the red Plate

 

Get flinged to a wall where you’ll wall run to the second power Plate.


To the second Plate

 

The ride goes on to a ledge with a third Plate.


To a ledge with the third Plate

 

From here you can look down in the Reservoir and see the Fertile Ground at the bottom.


Look down at the Fertile Ground

 

Elika: I know The Alchemist built this to store Corruption but what he intends to use it for...
Prince: Maybe he wants to keep fish in it? Even Corrupted maniacs must do something in their spare time.


Ready for the next Plate?

 

The Prince goes on:
I Still can’t see where we’re going. There’s no sign of The Alchemist. If The Alchemist is waiting for us, he’s keeping a low profile.

Engage from the red Plate and get ready for a wild ride. First land on a slope in a tunnel.


Off the Plate and catapulted to a slope

 

Slide down, jump to the wall and wall run to the second Plate.


From the slope to the Plate

 

From here it goes to a third and a fourth Plate.


The third Plate


The fourth Plate

 

The fourth Plate will blow you to another slope.

  


To another slope

 

Slide down, jump to the wall and wall run to the fifth Plate.


Slide down and reach the fifth Plate

 

This one hurls you at a wall where you can run up to a ledge.


Run up to a ledge

 

The show isn’t over yet, for there is your next Plate. Wall run to the Plate and fly off. This ride is getting pretty wilder.


Wall run to the Plate

 

Your next landing is on a slope. Slide down, jump to the wall, and wall run to the second Plate.


To the second Plate

 

Now take a short trip to the third Plate.


To the third Plate

 

This Plate will drop you to the first of two slopes in a row. Slide down.


To a first slope

 

At the end of the slope jump with Elika’s help to the second slope. Slide down.


With Elika’s help to the second slope

 

At the end of the slope jump to the wall. The Prince will wall run up to the fourth Plate.


Jump and climb up to the Plate

 

This Plate pitches you upon the fifth Plate.


To the fifth Plate

 

Tear off into a tunnel where you will slide down to the Fertile Ground.


To the Fertile Ground

 

Elika: We’re trapped.
Prince: And you didn’t think of that before we came down into a giant bowl?

Meantime The Alchemist takes shape on the Fertile Ground. The usual combos starting with yellow are most efficient. And if he turns black: send Elika to give him a bang and get him normal again. When he turns blue let the Prince give him a blow with his sword.


Scenes from the battle

 

When The Alchemist is tired of growling and fed up with the battle he’ll leave.


Before we do discover what he uses this place for...

 

...Any chance you could heal it and get out of here?

Lead Elika to the blue light beam and press yellow to let her merge with the Power of the beam. Press yellow repeatedly and experience a magnificent view of this wonderful transformation:


The healing of the Land!

 

The Prince approaches Elika:
There’s no chance this place is going to fill with water now?
Elika: The mechanisms are ancient, it is unlikely any of them still work.
Prince: That wasn’t a no, and I haven’t come this far to get drowned in a Desert. Let’s get out of here.


The second Black Gate has opened

 

Prince: Well, I don’t think we’d last this long. Might as well walk into some more danger.

Get an Autosave. It is recommended to make a manual Savegame as well.
