Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown – Which Difficulty To Choose?

Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown can be a pretty darn difficult game at times – even on standard difficulty. Ubisoft, despite its many flaws, is very good at implementing accessibility options and a robust difficulty selection falls into that category neatly. This lets you tailor your experience however you want. 

That being said, what does each difficulty alter, and which difficulty should you choose? Whilst we can’t answer the latter part, we can walk you through your options. From there you will be more than equipped to jump into Prince Of Persia and have a blast.

Exploration Or Guided Mode?

When you create your save file for Lost Crown, before you even get to pick your difficulty, you get to select your game mode. These are Exploration or Guided. These two modes drastically alter how you interact with the navigational and secret hunting mechanics in Lost Crown. 

Exploration mode lets you explore the game and uncover the map with the bare minimum of aids being added. Key things are marked, and you can even place your markers, but for the most part, you are on your own. This is your standard Metroidvania gameplay style. 

Guided is for players who want to cut right to the chase and avoid getting lost. This adds objective markers to help you get around the game as well as marking blocked paths and doors. This makes exploring the game far easier, but also adds a few light quality-of-life tidbits too. 


Which Difficulty To Choose in Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown? 

There are five difficulties in Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown and we are going to go over all of them here. 


Rookie

Rookie is the game’s easy mode. Enemies deal and take reduced damage, and environmental hazards are far less dangerous. Not only that but timing-based systems like dodging and parrying are made noticeably easier. This is perfect for a chill run through the game, or for people who may struggle with reflex-based gameplay. 


Warrior

Warrior is the standard/normal/default difficulty. Everything is set to its intended levels of challenge. Progression through this mode is fairly smooth, and even with the occasional difficult boss, there is enough wiggle room to overcome it without too much hassle. Ideal for a first run. 


Hero 

Hero is hard mode, and it doesn’t pull its punches. Enemies and hazards deal 50% more damage and your Athra (a combat resource) drains quickly. Everything else is set to ‘Warrior’ levels, allowing players ample opening for dodging, parrying, and dealing damage. 


Immortal 


Immortal difficulty is the hardest of the standard difficulties. This mode increases all damage taken by 100% (from Warrior), and enemies take 50% reduced damage. Not only that, but your Athra depletes even faster and your parry timings are tightened, making it significantly harder to counter enemies. You die quickly, you deal less damage, and it’s harder to defend yourself. A true challenge for the most determined of players. 

Custom

Custom Difficulty lets you fine-tune just about every element in the game, allowing you to make the game easier than Rookie, harder than Immortal, or any mix of the two to forge your perfect gameplay experience. 

In Custom, you can alter: 


  • Enemy Health
  • Enemy Damage
  • Environmental Damage
  • Parry Difficulty
  • Dodge Window
  • Athra Depletion Rate
  • Athra Gain 

This is a wonderful addition to the game, and we wish more games allowed players the option to tune their experience to their wants or needs.
