x-I Only Need a Hand or Twenty-x

Master "I Only Need a Hand or Twenty-x" in The Rogue Prince of Persia! Learn how to keep Elika's saves under 20 and conquer the Epilogue.

Alright, so you're tackling the "I Only Need a Hand or Twenty-x" challenge in The Rogue Prince of Persia. This one sounds tough, but it's mostly about keeping an eye on Elika's saves. The main goal here is to finish the game with less than 20 Elika saves used. The good news? The Epilogue part of the game is pretty short, so if you've played through it before, you've got a leg up!

Don't stress about rushing through this if you're not also going for other trophies like "No Time to Waste." Take your time, play it safe, and really focus on minimizing those saves. Remember, even saves during boss fights count towards your total, so try your best to defeat those bosses without needing Elika's help too often!

Here's a pro tip: you can save your game whenever you want. If you mess up a few times in a row at a tricky spot, don't be afraid to just reload your save. It's a great way to practice without penalty. Just make sure you're keeping a mental (or actual!) tally of how many times Elika has had to bail you out.

Easter Egg: Elika's Persian Tongue

Here's a cool little secret that one of our readers, Arshia001, pointed out. It turns out Elika's spells aren't just random sounds – they're actual Persian phrases!

When she's speaking, listen closely. You might hear things like:

• "Rah Ra Neshan Deh" which means "Show the way."
• "Raham Dorost Bashad" meaning "Let my way be correct."
• "Rahe Dorost" meaning "The correct way."

Arshia001 even thinks they heard "Parvaz" (which means "Fly") during a double jump! It's pretty neat to know that the spells have actual meaning and add a bit more depth to the game's world. Keep an ear out for more phrases as you play!

Wrapping Up

That's pretty much it for this section of the guide. Keep those saves in check, and you'll nail this challenge!
