How to solve the gear puzzle in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown - SOLUTION

 Here is the solution to easily solve the puzzle of the large gear that you will find in the Upper City of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown and how to make it work.

As you progress through the story of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, one of the trickiest puzzles you'll encounter along the way is the one involving a large gear with symbols along the way up through the Upper City. This puzzle is an intrinsic part of the main mission of The Celestial Guardians, and you will have to solve it if you want to continue with your objectives, which will require you to place purple batteries in certain containers in three different rooms.

Luckily for you, if you are stuck at some point and don't know what else to do, we have prepared this entry in our guide in which we are going to explain step by step what the solutions to the puzzle are and how you can overcome it without getting too complicated. life. Let's go there!

Lower room solution

The solution for the lower room of the puzzle is not very complicated. You have to perform two actions that are very different from each other. First of all, you need to make the purple battery fall to the ground.

To do this, look at this image:

• 1st step: Place a shadow on the left floor plate.
• 2nd step: go step on the floor plate on the right.
• 3rd step: when the battery is on the opposite side to the initial one, return to the shadow, and the wall above will throw the battery.

After throwing the battery on the ground, you have to do the following to be able to take it to its upper container.

• 1st step: pick up the battery with the claw and place it in the receptacle below.
• 2nd step: go up to the platform that has come out of the wall and jump to the right to place a shadow in the air (just where we indicated).
• 3rd step: pick up the battery again with the claw.
• Step 4: Now step on the floor plate on the right to move the upper structure to the other side.
• 5th step: return to the shadow position and land on the platform that will begin to move.
• 6th step: quickly jump to the space where you must place the battery. Before you get to the top, place a shade under the hatches so you can get out after putting the battery in place.

Left room solution

The solution for the room on the left requires some coordination of precise jumps, pay attention to the following image and what we explain below:

• 1st step: Pick up the purple battery with the claw and place the battery in the bottom receptacle.
• 2nd step: jump and bounce on one of the two walls that have appeared and place a shadow above the upper receptacle.
• Step 3: Pick up the purple battery and jump to throw it into the upper receptacle.
• 4th step: Now, with the gates above open, jump and pick up the battery with the claw, return to your shadow, and quickly throw the battery towards the container above (before the gates close).

Right room solution

The solution for the room on the right, again, also requires a combination of fairly precise jumps. Look at the image below and the steps you have to follow:

• Step 1: Pick up the purple battery with your claw and double jump to throw it into the receptacle above.
• 2nd step: jump to the platform that has come out of the wall and from there jump left or right to place a shadow just in front of the wall on one of these sides.
• 3rd step: jump back to the battery to pick it up with the claw.
• Step 4: Now travel towards your shadow and bounce off the wall to place another shadow, this time on top of the highest platform in the room.
• 5th step: finally, transport yourself back to the shade and aim and throw the battery upwards, into the hole with the open doors, so that it fits into its container.

Solution symbols of the end

After having placed the purple batteries in their proper containers in each room, you can return to the position of the huge gear that will now be in motion.

Around this gear or wheel, you will see three rings with three symbols rotating counterclockwise at different speeds. One is red, one blue and one yellow. On the floor, there are stepping plates related to each symbol of the same colors.

What you must do is make the three symbols pass over their icons at the same time so that they light up.

The solution is actually very simple since both the blue and yellow symbols are integrated by default, the only one that is "somewhat ahead" is the red one. Therefore, when the red symbol passes right over its icon and lights up, step on the floor plate on the left to stop it in that position.

Now you just have to wait for the blue and yellow symbols to reach their respective icons so that all three light up at the same time and the puzzle is solved.

If, on the other hand, you stepped on a plate and adjusted the distance between symbols, you will have to step on them again so that each one is separated from the others enough to pass over their icons at the same time.
