Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown adds new ways to fight its bosses
Ubisoft have released a new update for The Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, that brings in two new ways to enjoy the bosses that the game has, Boss Rush and Boss Revenge. Check out the trailer for the update below.
The two new modes, Boss Revenge and Boss Rush are going to test your skills in new ways, maybe more with the former than the latter. Here are the details for the two modes.
Boss Revenge
With Boss Revenge, you will be able to fight Bosses previously encountered, but with your current Simurgh powers.
Gradual unlock: After beating each Boss, they are unlocked in the Boss Revenge menu. In this challenge, you will enter each Boss Battle with a preset (Life / Weapon Upgrades / Time Powers) but have access to all current Athra Surges and Amulets at your disposal.
Pick your level of challenge: For each Boss, you can choose the difficulty you want to play them against: Rookie/Warrior/Hero/Immortal or No Hit. This choice is independent from the current game difficulty.
Prove your skills and beat your own records: A seal is displayed once you've beaten a Boss in a set difficulty. The look of the seal (Bronze/Silver/Gold) depends on your time.
Boss Rush
The greatest challenge awaits the bravest: the Boss Rush. This is an endgame challenge where you test your abilities and skills by defeating all the main bosses in a row. Two new outfits can be unlocked by beating this challenge at different difficulty levels.
Endgame challenge: The Rush gets unlocked after finishing the main story. In this challenge, you will enter with your current life/Amulets/Time Powers/Weapon Upgrades and Athra surges.
Fight all Bosses in order: The fights unroll in the same order as in the main story.
Pick your level of challenge: For each Rush, you can choose the difficulty you want to play against: Rookie/Warrior/Hero/Immortal or No Hit. This choice is independent from the current game difficulty.
Manage your resources: The amount of Life / Potions / Arrows or Athra gauge left is kept from one battle to the next. You'll need to plan your rush, and use the possibility to change your Amulets & Athra Surges loadout between each fight wisely. Some Amulets are not active in Boss Rush to keep the experience balanced.
Prove your skills and beat your own records: A seal is displayed once you've beaten the complete Boss Rush in any difficulty, alongside the time taken to do so. Beating the challenge on a high difficulty setting also unlocks the seal for the lower difficulty ones. Theres a possibility there's a secret seal...
The update also includes two new outfits, the one below on the left is inspired by Prince of Persia, the 2008 entry that got one home console release and a handheld release. The second outfit, well the one without much clothing, is a reward for completing the Boss Rush mode, on the no hit difficulty.. so yeah, I doubt anyone will actually earn it.
Alongside the new modes and outfits there are a host of other changes in the update, you can discover the full patch notes for the update here.
