The Impossible Climb Side Quest Challenge | Prince of Persia the Lost Crown

[@TheRealLughnatic]

Just finished it. Can’t believe you could just warp at the end. Feels a bit counterintuitive to what the game has taught you up to this point.

[@Zeitgeist6]

Yeah it wouldn't let me do that in the archive section where you have to get the 2 coins where the red blocks are. There you have to physically jump all the way back or it'll reset the coins.

[@xenooveleas1034]

it is counterintuitive indeed as in one of the hardest double xerxes sections with all those boxes fall onto you if you wrap up you miss them...I think the impossible climb was not super hard if you except the middle one on the top!

[@josephcarmona8188]

Had to go down the hard way, never thought about leaving a clone at the bottom, mostly because the clone didn't work with the coins, so I thought it would be the same with these bells.

[@upamanyubarman8811]

I thought the same thing LMAO

[@dbarrelbeatz2025]

Yo i thought da same thing too smh i went down da hard way took 2 hrs to get it

[@RH-nk7eo]

I just jumped all the way left cleared everything and then hit the grapple hook right at the bottom to get back on the main platform with the old man.

[@Cotsos88]

same, doesn't make sense. you can't use the clone in the normal coins but it's allowed in the "impossible" challenge? 😂

[@EddREDDEVIL]

Even with this guide I still haven’t completed this. You make it look effortless. Fantastic player and great video. 👍🏻 I’ll keep trying.

[@velltral]

may be if you get a good joystick could do it. is a challenging game, but the control is smooth.

[@Nonprofitgenie]

It took me 30 minutes first time to get it. On 2nd playthrough, took me 15. It's definitely rage inducing 😂

[@iamamish]

It’s interesting that the game allows you to return to your shadow. In other areas of the game, this strategy won’t work. For example the Xerxes coins and the bird challenge both require you to navigate directly to firm ground. If you shadow warp instead, you lose the item. Nice guide.

[@Plerion]

I wouldn't be surprised if they just forgot to add that property to the bells.

[@iamamish]

@@Plerion 100% agree

[@steelsteez6118]

They likely allowed it on this one because they likely see this platforming puzzle as much more difficult in COMPARISON to platforming for xerxes coins and the seven seas treasure quest.

[@iamamish]

@@steelsteez6118 yes and I think the key difference here is that in the other challenges (Xerxes coins for example), getting back to stable ground is half the challenge. Here, you just basically have to drop down.

[@RH-nk7eo]

Getting down to the bottom is the easiest part of this challenge so I don't think it matters much. From the top just jump all the way left you'll clear everything and then hit a grappling hook right at the bottom by the main platform.

[@dannypassion]

This was a therapy for me to complete

[@postlex]

Beat it in 2 tries after watching your excellent video. The shooting back and forth, awaiting the upper weight to come down helped immensely. Thanks!

[@xXLucromXx]

For the real skilled ppl, you can stand on the edge of every platform w/o taking dmg

[@n0isecat]

I did this a couple of times by pure accident. This was the perfect difficulty for me personally. Super tough, but didn't feel cheap or excessive. I actually only checked the video to find the location of the quest, and persevered to do it without looking at the guide on where the bells are. Really stoked to have got this one

[@mikemoreno1852]

Wait, you can clone down to the bottom? After having that not work on the coins had assumed the same was true here. Good to know whenever I decide to go through for a second playthrough

[@dknollRX7]

I spent a half hour trying to get all three. I made it a few times, but kept screwing up on the descent. Since the Xerxes coins didn’t allow teleportation, I figured these would be the same. Out of frustration, I tried to teleport back after claiming one bell, and I’ll be damned if it didn’t work! I could have been done a long time ago, had I tried that first. Then it took me forever to get all three bells again, but a quick tap of L1 let me finish it.

[@AttnDefDis_]

I did it a bit different, but great tips about creating the shadow and waiting for the bells to go down.

[@travelcrib2k596]

I didn't put any clones down at the beginning point. I used clones to transit between cylinder to reach the top one

[@digitalxcaffeine]

JUST beat this puzzle and then came to see if people solved it in the same way. It took me 20-ish tries and we had COMPLETELY different strategies. Your route seems so much smoother.

[@ChicagoRetroGamer]

This challenge was actually super fun. I went back to complete after pretty much doing everything else, so it wasn't too bad. Placing a clone at the bottom is definitely key!

[@KrsJin]

Incredible guide, first try thanks to this😅 Not sure I would have had the patience to figure this one out naturally or not. Hats off to all who did!

[@date144GK]

thanks for your help your calm demeanor was really helpful

[@EIdain_]

Thanks for this, it was really helpful!

[@EdwardDiego0]

The trick for this one is not using Rush of the Simurgh (dash) ability unless necessary. It seems to trigger the edge of the top spike hitboxes more than double jump does.

[@returnoftheabandoned]

I finished this after watching this video thank you! upon multiple attempts i found out you can land on the very edge of the spikes without getting hurt, and ride these upward. Try it!

[@nstohler75]

Easiest for me was to create the shadow, then get the left bell first and continue to fetch the top bell and warp down. Then create the shadow again and get the bell on the right, warp back down and done. The hardest part for me was to reach the top bell. At first I tried to create a shadow in the middle somewhere to get back up quickly after failing, but that one gets deleted when you get reset to the bottom.

[@jrzaike9877]

Wow I was not paying attention to the dialog here. I went back out to search for these bells all over Mount Qaf! 😅😅

[@DPSnumber1]

Ok, I could finally beat this challenge using this method, but it was easier for me not to having to hang in those small cans for a very long time. I died too many times with those. The whip has enough range to reach the triangles for farther places and the first two bells can be caught in a shorter time. I'm really happy I could beat this.

[@murphbri]

Thanks for another excellent trophy guide, you earned the thumbs up just from the clone tip alone!

[@NoVoiOvi]

Finally, after o so many tries I succeeded. the shadow to start was a good tip :P

[@vicsXLG]

Still trying after 3 hours straight 😂

[@digitalxcaffeine]

One month later! Did you get it?

[@vicsXLG]

@@digitalxcaffeine not yet. Still trying. lol.

[@PiMaC1985]

I was just gonna nope my way out of this and not even bother but now that I saw your video, I think I'm gonna try it. The challenge here is the smaller cans from what I understand, but I think the xerses coins in the Pit of eternal sands with the crystals are wayyyy worst than this

[@EdgarAntuna-IanShon]

Just did it right after I saw your video. You are amazing, thanks

[@JasonParmar]

I’m here AFTER I completed this. I didn’t have the clone idea and died on the way down first time after getting all 3 bells 😂

[@Stark1ller]

Turn on the high contrast mode. Makes it way easier.

[@slobodanlukic250]

How so?

[@murphbri]

Thanks for the tip, helped a ton.

[@HiddenWen]

Took a few times, but nowhere near the most frustrating for me. Most difficult one for me was that spinning spike wheel challenge you get from the secret floor unlocked by that key.

[@melontoad]

I see everyone struggling with this one meanwhile I completed this on my 1st try. Maybe it's my platformer expirience for year, but this was a neat and fun puzzle imo

[@Rolly_951]

I can't believe i beat this on my first try. I was thinking im gonna get stuck on this challange. I actually started on the right side then middle and got the 3rd one on the left last. Also did not warp i came down without hitting anything. 💪

[@ishmaeldant40]

Pretty good video man, I was wondering how I was gonna skip this part

[@AdrianAceMcculler]

Bro when I tell u this ish took me two hours to complete... I think I blew a blood vessel😂😂😂

[@SneakyCatAgent]

Omg i cant believe i did it 😮 thank you i couldnt find the top one before this video

[@Valerik01]

Thank you for the guide! I got it the first try after I watched your guide.

[@JakeLian]

Suuuuuure 🙄

[@Cotsos88]

The worst part for me is the wait at the bottom.... So frustrating sitting there for the thing to come down... I would prefer twice the length if you started immediately.

[@lilianma7904]

Thanks heaps for this

[@alphahunterd]

finally! I got it done! my god this was the hardest

[@rpd8327]

The clipping is so random in this game, sometimes I can be very near a spike and not get killed other times I die straight away, making these challenges stressful

[@UNSTABLE111]

I actually completed this relatively easy..well maybe likee 3 tries..just have to be patient..there are definitely harder challenges than this one

[@JakeLian]

Suuuuuure 🙄

[@anasblushi3075]

Thanks

[@joshuaoseni]

this was quite frustrating but I completed it lol

[@AdmiralHypopheralcus]

Thank you so much. With your route it was a breeze!

[@TorresBLR]

Maybe they changed smth but the quest was done as soon as I got the last bell without even returning back. But anyway I used teleport to return like in the video.

[@Michelle-yk1qw]

So I had the misfortune of forgetting to leave my shadow behind and got hit on the way down, you lose the quest completion if you get hit

[@luiszubillaga1463]

Is all this just for one azure piece...?whats the other thing for?

[@chrys_rex]

he actually gives you lore about the prince and sargon , which makes you question the entire thing thats going on !! it was actually quite interesting

[@christopherdouglas1003]

My game glitched and put me into god mode when i encountered this puzzle. Spikes didnt hurt me. It was way easier than all of this. I just want to know how my game glitched. Not that i want that again, but im just wondering?

[@xedims]

I needed 30 attemps or i think more... then i got it 😂❤😊

[@dunetiger]

Thank you for this. I really hated this one.

[@thefil83]

I am having a weird bug where I returned all bells to the hermit and then my game froze! Even though I did not have trouble doing this it is still anoying that I habe to do it again 🙄

These jumping puzzles that just go on forever in this game are so annoying...

[@KarlSturmgewher]

There's nothing more I can do here. I did everything I could to make it to all the bells, and I still couldn't. there's no safe spot on any of the pillars...

[@sith06]

I have an easier strategy. Leave a clone, get a bell, and return to your clone. Leave another clone get the second bell, and return to the clone. Repeat one final time and you're done. I got the most difficult bell (the highest) first.

[@KarlSturmgewher]

@@sith06 I did everything I could to make it to the top and I still failed....

[@sith06]

@KarlSturmgewher Do like he said in the video wait until it's coming down so you can shoot up and get higher. Once you get used to the highest, the other two are much easier. I did the highest first, then the right, and left, which is the easiest last. It is nerve racking at first.

[@sith06]

@KarlSturmgewher Also practice on the longer whatever it is of getting more height because, of course you have more room.

[@MrLachek]

Jumping of and dashing back i much easier method to stau on platforms.

There isn't any skill that allows him to cling to the pillar to prevent slipping, meaning he can stay attached while the pillar moves up or down?

For people who finished Aeterna Noctis, this "challenge" was a walk in the park. It took me three tries. Also the reward was amusing, the shocking reveal, the Killmonger wannabe was the "lost child prince" all along, oh my god! Felt like the Shopee version of the Path of Pain (and to be clear, I loved this game, but there's some silly crap here in there)

No way this works

[@sith06]

@manuelnocera9454 It does. You still have to get all 3 but you don't have to get them all one time. It definitely works. Try it.

@@sith06 bro it worked thank you

[@bardiche1989]

helpful suggestion, although it takes more jumps to do it this way (since you have to climb 3 times) so there are more ways to go wrong but on the other hand it allows you to have some mental break and rest in between bells
