Dual-Wielding

Lore & Background

The Two Thrones is the sixth main installment in the Prince of Persia series and the final chapter of the Sands of Time trilogy. The story follows the Prince as he returns to Babylon, only to find that his actions in Warrior Within have undone the events of The Sands of Time. The villainous Vizier kills the Prince's companion Kaileena, absorbing the Sands of Time from her, which transform him into an immortal monster. The Prince must work together with his past love Farah to defeat the Vizier, while also struggling against his own Dark Prince persona.

During combat, the Prince can use a dagger for attacks and blocks, and can also wield secondary weapons obtained from defeated enemies or weapon racks in dual-wield combat. Secondary weapons have limited durability. The Dark Prince cannot wield a secondary weapon, instead using a Daggertail. The game also features a Speed Kill system for instantly defeating enemies, and the Prince can use the Dagger of Time's time-control abilities, which can be upgraded by disabling sand gates.
