[comp.sys.amiga.games] Prince of Persia help needed

odenm@prism.CS.ORST.EDU (ODEN MILES PRESCOTT) (12/17/90)

  I need help on the 12th level of Prince of Persia.  I can get to the top
of the level, but then I encounter my "ghost".  I've tried killing him, 
letting him kill me, running past him and jumping, and backing him over the
edge.  All these actions result in death.  Can some one help me?

				      Thank you,
					   Miles Oden

Just put away your sword. The ghost will do it also. Then merge with him.
Then jump to the left.

I'm having trouble with level 12 of Prince of Persia.  I've climbed all
the way to the top of this level.  When I get there, my shadow self
draws a sword on me.  It doesn't seem to matter how this fight comes
out - either way I die.  Any help would be appreciated.

  What am I supposed to do at the very top section of level 12 when my 
mirror image attacks me ? Whenever I hit him I seem to take damage too (makes
sense I suppose). It's all very confusing. Any ideas anyone ?


PS. I thought the part in level 8(?) where the Princess' pet mouse comes along
    and steps on the pressure pad to release you was one of the nicest touches
    I've ever come across in a computer game. One-two-three..."Ohhhhhh !" ;)

PPS. PoP is one of the few games that's ever given me a true feeling of 
    vertigo, esp. Level 12

Thanks,

Mr.Scary

You must "merge" with your alter-ego.  He's attacking because your sword is
drawn.  Put your sword away by pressing the down arrow and then move towar
him without drawing it (not easy, but possible).  Your next move after
this manuever is a real leap of faith.

If you like a game to give you a good deal of vertigo, check out "Continuum",
which just recently hit the market.  Vertigo city and an interesting concept.
It does, however, tend to get frustrating after many hours of play.

     Simply put your sword away and walk into your mirror-image, you and the
image will become one.....
