The mystical and captivating realm of Mount Qaf, which is a sprawling expanse, leaves a lot of land for Sargon to cover in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. For many players, especially the speedrunners out there, it can sometimes be tedious to navigate from one end of the map to another. This has led many to wonder if Ubisoft has taken mercy at Sargon’s legs and incorporated a fast travel mechanic in the game. Well, let’s find out!
How To Unlock Fast Travel In Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown?
You can unlock fast travel locations in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown by destroying the purple orbs to restore the Pegasus statues, referred to as Homa statues in the game. The rebuilt Homa statues grant you the capability to fast travel in between them.
These Zoroastrian-inspired Homa statues, typically situated near Wak-Wak Trees, are relatively easy to locate. However, the task is made even simpler by the fact that your screen will display a purplish tint when you’re in the vicinity of a Homa statue.
It’s important to note that you’ll need to spend around 1–2 hours playing this game before you get to unlock these fast travel locations. More precisely, you’ll need to acquire the Rush of Simurgh, an air dash ability, by defeating Jahandar.
The ability is essential for reaching the area where the first travel point is situated. Once you destroy the purple orb, which represents a rift in space and time, you’ll activate the Homa statues network.
