This section details the common enemies encountered in Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones and provides strategies for defeating them as both the Prince and the Dark Prince.

Guards

Guards are common, brutish enemies in gray armor who use standard melee tactics. They can be Speed Killed.

• As the Prince: Guards are susceptible to most attacks. Use rebound attacks near walls, vaults in open spaces, multiple-hitting combinations against corners, grab attacks when alone, or toss them off cliffs. Be ready to block and use rolls to evade their attacks.
• As the Dark Prince: Use combinations to decimate groups or quickly dispatch individual enemies. Keeping pressure on is effective.

Archers

Archers are slender enemies using bows and arrows. They can be Speed Killed.

• As the Prince: Prioritize eliminating Archers first, especially in groups, due to their dangerous potshots. Blocking is effective for deflecting arrows and closing distance. At close range, they use their bow as a blunt instrument, which is slow and easy to avoid. Advanced combinations, rebound, or vault attacks are effective against their strong defense.
• As the Dark Prince: Get close and use single-enemy combinations to quickly defeat Archers, as his power is vulnerable to their arrows.

Sand Guards

Sand Guards are corrupted versions of Guards, appearing identical but golden. They are the most common enemy and can be Speed Killed.

• As the Prince: Similar to Guards, they are susceptible to most attacks. Utilize rebound attacks near walls, vaults in open spaces, multiple-hitting combinations against corners, grab attacks when alone, or toss them off cliffs. Be vigilant, block, and use rolls to evade.
• As the Dark Prince: Use combinations to decimate groups or quickly dispatch individual enemies. Maintaining pressure is effective.

Sand Archers

Sand Archers are corrupted versions of Archers, appearing identical but golden. They can be Speed Killed.

• As the Prince: Similar to Archers, eliminate them first in groups due to their dangerous potshots. Blocking is effective for deflecting arrows and closing distance. At close range, they use their bow as a blunt instrument, which is slow and easy to avoid. Advanced combinations, rebound, or vault attacks are effective against their strong defense.
• As the Dark Prince: Get close and use single-enemy combinations to quickly defeat Sand Archers, as his power is vulnerable to their arrows.

Reptus

Reptus are small, green-skinned enemies found in dark areas, usually encountered as the Dark Prince. They use axes or blunt instruments and cannot be Speed Killed.

• As the Prince: In light, Reptus are easily defeated with moves like Aerial Landing Slice, Grab Slice, and Asha's Fury. In darkness, they are nearly invincible defensively. Use rebound attacks, grab attacks, or slow time to create openings for other attacks. Focus on them if fighting in the dark.
• As the Dark Prince: Reptus are still dangerous but easier to dispatch with daggertail combinations.
