The Rogue Prince of Persia: The Rogue Prince of Persia – Achievement Guide

Welcome to the Rogue Prince of Persia Achievement Guide. Below I will outline how to unlock each achievement and list some strategies to get them. If you spot an error or want to suggest a better strategy, let me know and I’ll correct the error or add said strategy, and give credit as well.

These achievements are directly related to the main narrative of the game and are generally not difficult to unlock. I’ll include the biome ones here as well because I’m sure the main story will incorporate visiting all of them at some point to progress. I won’t be providing commentary on the biome achievements because they’re straightforward.

Reach the Aqueduct for the first time.

Reach the Hun Camp for the first time.

Reach the Academy for the first time.

Reach the Tower of Oblivion for the first time.

Reach the Gardens for the first time.

Meet Azadeh, the head of the village
Azadeh can be found in Zagros Village. It’s hard to miss but she can be found up on a plateau-like area. Talking to her will net you the achievement.

Meet Astara the Smith.
Astara is usually found low down underground and only appears on stages before bosses, which so far are Aqueduct, Academy, and Gardens.

Meet Paachi.
Paachi will begin to appear in The Oasis and slowly set up her tent across runs, so there is no way you can miss her.

Find Feriel at her HQ.
Feriel is located in Aqueduct. WARNING. THIS IS CURRENTLY MISSABLE IF YOU SAVE SHAHIN BEFORE FINDING FERIEL, AS ALL STORY-RELATED CONTENT IS DISABLED ONCE YOU FINISH ACT I.

Find Shahin.
Shahin is initially located in the Tower of Oblivion and is locked in a cage. Progress through the story as normal and you will unlock this achievement.

Open the valve in the Aqueduct.
During the story, you will need to collect a lever from Astara and take it to Aqueduct to open the valve, which will free Shahin in the Tower of Oblivion. Opening the valve unlocks the achievement.

Free Shahin from his prison.
After unlocking Apprentice engineer, making sure you have already talked to Feriel so you don’t lock yourself out of the achievement for meeting her, head to the Tower of Oblivion after defeating Berude. Find Shahin and he will be freed from his prison and the achievement will unlock.

As of this writing, all bosses are required to progress through the game, but they will receive their own category as this may change in the future.

Defeat Berude.
Not too difficult. Don’t worry about engaging in melee with her until you kick a rock into her and break her shield, stunning her for a few seconds. Repeat this and you should have no trouble. The second phase has some slightly more difficult attacks to dodge, as well as a smaller wall to climb on, but nothing absurd.

Defeat Berude without getting hit.
Follow the above instructions, as well as the following more detailed ways to avoid attacks:
-When Berude is preparing the claw strike, there will be a small flash of light to indicate it. Dodge INTO her to perform a vault and take no damage.

-When Berude is charging horizontally, use the wall behind the Prince (not the side ones) to run over Berude. During the first phase, she changes directions 0-1 times, and in the second phase, she changes directions twice. When done charging, rocks spawn. Use them.

-When Berude is leaping and remaining on the screen, dodge the few jumps and wait for the large slam. Dodge into her to perform a vault high into the air and then kick one of the rocks spawned into her.

-When Berude is leaping from above and goes off-screen, pay attention to the indicator of where she is and avoid getting surprised. This is the hardest attack to dodge.

-When Berude strikes the ground or wall to send shockwaves, keep your distance and focus on dodging.

If you get hit once, return to menu and restart from the beginning of the biome to retry the fight.

Defeat Bataar.
Similarly with Berude, you should play defensively against Bataar. When Bataar spawns the exploders or takes time to rest, that is the time to attack. Be careful with the platforming between phases as well. The fight isn’t incredibly punishing, but take your time and you should do fine.

Defeat Bataar without getting hit.
Using the above information as well as the tips below, no-hitting Bataar shouldn’t pose a large challenge.

-Beam attack: In the first two phases, you can rest in the corners of the arena and should be fine. The light shines showing where you can hide as well. In the third phase, there isn’t any ground in the safe areas, so you need to be wall climbing/running through the area when the beam sweeps, and it sweeps twice in this third phase.

-Slam attack: Make your way to the top of the arena as Bataar damages from below. The light shows the safe spots in this attack as well.

-Horizontal pillars: This attack follows you a bit as you move, so just don’t stay in one place vertically and you should be fine. In the first two phases, there are 3 in a row, and in the last phase, there are 5.

-Bombers: Bataar summons bombers that explode when you pass through them. Get rid of these as quickly as possible by dashing (NOT VAULTING OR CLIMBING) through them and then get as much damage in as possible.

-Explosion: In the third phase, after recovering, Bataar will rise up and explode in a radius. Make sure you disengage once you start to see Bataar get up after resting.

-For the protective barrier, try to use a ground slam on it while having the perk that destroys them in one hit with ground slams.

Once again, if you take damage, including falling during the platforming sections, quit to the main menu and retry the biome.

Get smacked down by one of the Hun generals.
This is really just a joke achievement. Enter one of the boss rooms (preferably Berude because you have to throw the run away) and let the boss kill you while you deal zero damage to it. Make sure you don’t have any medallions regarding countering as if they proc, I believe this achievement will not pop.

These achievements require you to perform a random task or reach a cumulative goal, and don’t otherwise fit in with the above categories.

Give these two scoundrels what they want.
You will likely get this during your first run. Simply purchase an item from the shop during your run.

Use a secondary weapon without sufficient energy.
Press the button for using a tool over and over until you run out of energy and continue to keep pressing it until the achievement pops.

Use a potion at full HP
At the start of your run, attempt to heal yourself with a potion while at full HP until the achievement pops.

Earn a Blood Altar reward without losing any health…
Go to the Tower of Oblivion and clear the map of enemies, while NOT using any Blood Altars. If there are at least two, then you can get this achievement. Lower your health with the spikes in the environment until using a Blood Altar would bring you below zero. Of course, it won’t kill you, just bring you to one health. Go to the second altar and use it. You will earn the reward without losing any health, unlocking the achievement for you.

Have Astara upgrade the same weapon 10 times
This achievement was next to impossible before the Warrior’s Ascension update, but is now easily doable, with some luck and prep work.

Step 1: Perks
-Vayu the Gilded (second tree, second upgrade level)
-Mithra’s Generosity all the way through Fair Trade (third tree, left path)
These perks ensure that you will gain as much gold as possible.

Step 2: Medallions
The only medallion you should focus on getting is Bloody Spoils because it gives an extra 15 gold per kill when fully upgraded. Be careful with environmental kills, though, as I’ve noticed it doesn’t proc on them unless you first deal damage to the enemy and then kick them off a ledge/into a trap, etc. Breaking doors and Berude’s rocks also procs Bloody Spoils.

Step 3: Money go brr…
You need roughly 8000 gold by the end of Gardens to upgrade a weapon 10 times. The starting level of your weapon does not matter for the price, only how many times that specific weapon has been upgraded. If you don’t have enough gold going into Gardens, you can farm 5 gold a piece off of the Invocator summons thanks to your Vayu the Gilded perk. Bloody Spoils does not proc on these. You also have the backup off 10 Glimmers –> 100 Gold via the Fair Trade perk if you’re still short.

Listen to the main theme music from start to finish.
Start up the game and leave it on the main menu for awhile, ten minutes at the most because sometimes the first go-around doesn’t pop the achievement.

Fast travel 50 times using the Wells of Dreams
You can choose to do this during one run, or across all your runs. It doesn’t really matter because you’ll unlock it naturally.

Kill 1,000 enemies.
This will occur naturally across your runs. To get it faster, kill every enemy on every map, which you should be doing anyway.

Run 10km on the walls.
This will occur naturally across your runs. You should be wall running often anyway, so this achievement should unlock in no time.

Climb an equal height to that of Mount Damavand.
This one will also occur naturally, but takes much longer than the previous achievement. If you want, you can set up a macro in Zagros Village if you please to run up a wall, drop down, and run up the wall again, until this pops, but I would advise against it unless it’s the last one you have left to unlock for some reason.

Kill 10 summons.
This can be easily done (and only done) in the Gardens, where the Invocator spawns in the flies and brutes. Kill 10 of them to unlock the achievement. I doubt this has to be done in one run, but it is so easily achieved in one that you shouldn’t need to worry about that.

Ask Sukhra to forge 5 new weapons.
Find the blueprints for 5 weapons and craft them in the Oasis. You can find blueprints by completing platforming challenges throughout the biomes.

Craft 5 medallions with Paachi.
Find the blueprints for 5 medallions and bring them back to Paachi and craft 5 medallions. I believe some medallions are already ready to craft once you unlock the ability to craft with Paachi, so you may not even need to find that many blueprints.

Craft 15 medallions with Paachi.
This achievement is currently not obtainable within one save file. You must make a new save and craft more medallions as the achievement tracks globally instead of just per save file. At the time of this writing, there is only one save file, so you must:
1. Copy your save (global.sav) from steamapps/common/The Rogue Prince of Persia/userdata/saves/[your steam ID]
2. Save it to a safe place after closing out of the game to keep the save that you want
3. Open the game and start a new save and craft the medallions
4. Close the game then place your original global.sav back where it was to replace the current one, restoring your old data while allowing you to get the achievement.

Your save folder should look something like this:

Craft 25 medallions with Paachi
See the above description for Discerning collector to see how to unlock this achievement.

Trigger 50 elemental reactions.
Elemental reactions occur when an enemy is affected by two elements at the same time. The easiest way I found to do this was to get the medallions Toxic Vault and Sticky Vault equipped at the same time such that they both apply an element on vaulting. Find a group of enemies and spam vaults on them, as it will count each enemy every time you fault. For instance, if there is a group of three enemies close together, then every vault near them, as long as they are given the effect, will add 3 to the achievement counter. The most I was able to get in a run is around 250 using this, if I recall correctly, which is already half of the 500 required for the Master of the elements achievement. These do not all need to be done in the same run.

Trigger 200 elemental reactions.
See the above description for Apprentice alchemist to see how to unlock this achievement.

Trigger 500 elemental reactions.
See the above description for Apprentice alchemist to see how to unlock this achievement.

Die with 100 Spirit Shards in your possession.
Pretty simple to do. Destroy Soul Braziers when you see them instead of depositing back into the Oasis, and once you reach 100 Glimmers, die and the achievement will pop.

Kill 5 enemies with a single Spear throw
The toughest part of this achievement is finding a Spear early on, and no, the Whirling Spear won’t work for this, only the Spear. I chose Hun Camp because it seemed flatter and more packed with enemy spawns in some areas, but it doesn’t really matter. When you get around to finding a Spear in the first biome, find an area with 5 enemies lined up to be killed with a single throw. If you need to move some enemies into an area by kiting them, you can do that too. This will also unlock Combooo! at the same time, and the only reason Combooo! is that the achievement was glitched upon the original release.

Kill 5 enemies at the same time.
If you for some reason didn’t get this while it was glitched or want to get it before Nicely skewered, you can pretty easily go into either of the first biomes and kill all 5 enemies at the same time with one charge with your starting Double Daggers. Just make sure you don’t accidentally get a kill or deal too much damage with regular hits while “cooking” the charge attack.

Thank you for checking out the guide if you’ve made it this far. More likely than not, as the game continues to receive updates through Early Access, achievements may be added or removed. I will try and keep this as up-to-date as possible. I also plan on adding the achievement images so this isn’t just one big wall of text, but my main priority was getting the information out there.

I’ll reiterate what I said earlier: please leave a comment if any information is incorrect, out of date, or spelling/grammar/formatting errors and I will do my best to fix them as soon as possible.
