Elika In Platforming

Learn how to use Elika's platforming abilities in The Rogue Prince of Persia, including her double jump and how to help her navigate ledges. Master every jump!

Hey there! So, you're getting the hang of things in The Rogue Prince of Persia, but you've noticed the Prince isn't the only one who can pull off some sweet moves. That's right, Elika's got some tricks up her sleeve that are super helpful, especially when you're navigating tricky platforming sections. Let's break down how she helps you out.

The first big way Elika helps you out is with a double jump. You know how you can jump once? Well, after your first jump, if you hit the Triangle button again, Elika will give you a boost, lifting you up for a second jump. Keep an eye on the screen; when it starts to go a little black and white, that's your cue that you'll need to use Elika's double jump to make it across. It's a lifesaver for those wider gaps!

Now, Elika's pretty good at keeping up, but sometimes you'll both end up on the same ledge. If you want to switch spots with her, just move towards her on the ledge, and you'll swap places. This can be handy for positioning.

There's also a cool move where the Prince might grab Elika's hand when you both jump up to a new ledge. If you want her to get up there too, just push left or right on the Left Analog Stick. The Prince will toss her up, and she'll grab onto the ledge. It's a neat little animation that shows how they work together.

And here's a cute one: if you drop down from a ledge, and you don't move, the Prince will automatically catch Elika when she drops down. It’s a small detail, but it really adds to their connection and makes sure you don't lose her when you're moving quickly.
