Time Crystalsare the main currency inPrince of Persia: The Lost Crown. You need these supernatural shards to pay for upgrades and unlock new items at shops. While you naturally accumulate Crystals by defeating enemies during the story progression, there are more efficient methods for farming them. In this guide, you’ll discoverfour techniques to collect more Time Crystals, allowing you to max out Sargon at an accelerated pace.
How to Farm Time Crystals
InPrince of Persia: The Lost Crown, you canget more Time Crystals by killing respawned enemies. Additional farming methods include equipping the drop-enhancing charm Ecbatana Seal, breaking abandoned objects, and collecting Crystal Ores.
Force-Spawn Enemies
The most effective method for Time Crystal farming isforcing enemies to respawn. Achieve this by repeatedly exiting and entering the same area. Once you locate a favorable location with valuable monsters, continuously eliminate them by triggering force-spawns. Simply clear the area, transition to another biome, and re-enter to repeat the process.
Find a place with a group of enemies near a Wak-Wak Tree. Use the tree as a spawn point and farm the regenerated monsters after each save.
Equip the Ard’s Fortune and Ecbatana Seal Amulets
TheArd’s Fortune increases Time Crystal drops. The Ecbatana SealAmulet allows you to collect Time Crystalfrom a distance. Equip these charms to farm the currency faster. These Amulets enable you to collect more Time Crystals from a distance, proving especially useful when breaking Crystal Ores or defeating enemies with projectiles in inaccessible areas.
Break Objects
Smashable items likepots and boxes yield Time Crystals. Similar to early God of War games,Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown’s abandoned objects provide an opportunity to acquire additional shards. It’s essential to recognize that not every object guarantees lucrative drops. Consider employing this method when you’re just a few shards shy ofaffording a specific item.
Hunt Time Crystal Ores
