At some point in a Metroidvania title, you acquire the ability to Double Jump—and Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is no different. Throughout the labyrinth that is Mount Qaf, you’ll encounter ledges and areas clearly out of your reach.

The solution? Double Jump. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has its version of this useful gameplay-enhancing ability, so let’s show you how to get it.

Midway through The Lost Crown‘s story missions, you’ll encounter one of the main bosses—Azhdaha—and if you can beat them, the God will bestow upon you the Gravity Wings, allowing you to Double Jump.

Sargon will automatically equip this ability, just like all Prince of Persia‘s weapons, so you don’t need to go out of your way to access it manually to use it.

Once you have the Gravity Wings in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, you just need to press the jump button a second time after pressing it once. In doing so, Sargon will now perform a second jump while he’s still in midair.

The Gravity Wings are obtained by defeating Aszdaha. They, and the boss, can be found in The Pit of Eternal Sands in the southern region of Mount Qaf.

Here’s some quickfire instructions:

  1. Progress through Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown.
  2. Near the halfway mark, you’ll come face-to-face with Aszdaha—a giant snake found in The Pit of Eternal Sands.
  3. Defeat Aszdaha, and it will come to its senses.
  4. Aszdaha will explain what you need to do next, and to accomplish this, they gift you the Gravity Wings.

My advice would be to negate many of the side quests and collectibles in favor of advancing the main story. Doing so will get you to the Gravity Wings a lot quicker, and let me tell you, platforming becomes a lot easier, and Prince of Persia a lot more fun!
