Run around in a circle avoiding his hands until you find a white crate with steps on it. There should be a dagger hole. Run up and hang on to it, then run to the next one and go over the wall. There is a platform which is above the giant and it will trigger a speed kill sequence. You must time it correctly. Repeat this process a second time and you will blind the giant. He will smash part of the arena which will make it more difficult to find the ledge you use to attack him. Run around in a circle until you eventually find it. Do a speed kill sequence. Then, take him out by slashing his legs which will trigger the final speed kill sequence. If timed correctly, you can defeat him.
Run around him a few times and you will find a set of brown wooden stairs. Go up the stairs. When you are on them, there will be a location where you can run up and stab your dagger. There will then be another dagger location on your right where you must run to. Then, run onto the wall where the giant opens it for you. There will be another dagger location. You must then run up again, and then on your left will be a platform where you will be able to jump onto the giant and stab him. Repeat this sequence and you will blind him. You can defeat him by cutting his legs when he is blind.
Defeating enemies quickly
When you are on a cliff or platform with areas to fall off and enemies start attacking in groups, just throw them off instead of wasting Sand Tanks or fighting them all head on. This saves time, especially when you reach The Cliff as the
Sandwraith.
Defeating Shadi
This is an easy but precise way to defeat Shadi. Attack her until you hear a large "clank", which indicates that she has blocked. Then, roll to the side of her. When this is done, most of the time you will be able to get behind her and repeat
the attack. You should get to hit her about four times (and possibly up to six times) before she blocks. However, sometimes you may only hit her about two times before she blocks. You must listen for the "clank".
Defeating The Empress Of Time
To defeat the empress of time for the last time, dodge all her attacks, especially the kicks. Do not let her get near the girl in red. When only a little of her life remains, keep blocking and press Triangle or Square.
Defeating the first Boss
Block and do the attack were you jump behind her, and attack her twice. Remember to block immediately after this or she will hit you down.
Defeating the mechanical tower Boss
To defeat the large Boss on the mechanical tower stage, continuously hold R1 to block, and dodge all his attacks by pressing X while blocking. Control the direction of your dodge by moving the Left Analog-stick. Note: Dodging to the left or right is best. Blocking his hits will not work, as you will die after four hits. He has no armor on the back of his legs; when you get behind him, hit his legs and prepare to dodge again. After a few times of doing this, he will fall to his knees. You will be able to jump on his back by pressing X. Strike him in the head with your sword five to eight times. He will then throw you off if you do not jump off in time. Repeat this three or four and he will die.
Glowing Sword weapon
To get this weapon you'll need a sword that can break walls. In the Mystic Caves, after you get past the first gate that you had to unlock, you'll reach a passage that' divided by a pit with a switch on the floor. Drop into the pit, and at one end you'll
see a breakable section of wall. Break this wall to expose a weapon rack. Break the rack and you'll be able to pick up the Glowing Sword, an unbreakable secondary weapon that does a ridiculous amount of damage, but will gradually cause increasing damage to you each time you use it.
Hidden Weapon: Large White Hand
Shortly after your battle with the Empress, and after the long cutscene, you will be in the tomb-like area and have a scene where you have to run from the Dahaka. During this scene, if you are quick, you can find a large white hand to equip as an off-hand weapon. To do this, start the running scene. Run along the wall across the first gap to start it. Continue on past the large hole (Where you run along the wall, then use two poles.) Next is a small hole that you do a normal jump over. Now, instead of going straight through the spot you would roll through (Or right, if you chose,) take a sharp left. There will be a gate, and a weapon rack.Destroy the weapon rack, and the hand will fall to the ground. Pick it up and run, because you're now short for time.

Light Sword
The light sword is the most powerful secondary weapon in the game. When in the mystic caves you come upon a door that you must unlock via switch. Directly after that door there is a drop in the floor. Drop down and break the left wall and break the rack to pick up the light sword. As with all secondary weapons it is unbreakable, but if you throw it you lose it for good. The light sword has maximum damage and maximum attack rate.
Pink Flamingo weapon
To get this weapon you'll need a sword that can break walls. In the Garden Hall (Present), starting from the middle passageway at the very top of the hall, do awall run to the rope, then a wall run to the central platform. Turn left and walk
directly through the wall of rubble in front of you. You'll turn around and grab the platform you were just standing on. From here, jump across the gap to the next platform. To your left you'll see another platform with a switch. Make your way there, hit the switch, then return to the platform you were just on. There will now be a block you can climb on. From the top of the block, do a vertical wall run + jump to reach the beam above you. Walk along the beam to the right, then jump to the ledge on the far wall. Follow the ledge around to an alcove. Drop into the alcove and break the rear wall on the right-hand side to expose a weapon rack. Break the rack and you'll be able to pick up the Pink Flamingo, an unbreakable secondary weapon that does moderate damage and knocks all regular enemies to the ground with one hit.
Play as maggot man
When you reach the portal room for the second time, when you have to switch the time to the present for the first time, the Prince will say that something is wrong. You must run the switches on the wall to make the portal work correctly. Do not run the switches on the wall. Instead, enter the portal as it is and you will switch the time to the present. Save the game, then exit and load the game. You will now be playing as the maggot man. In this mode you will constantly lose life and much more health when hit than in normal mode. However your attacks will be very powerful and you are much more quicker. Note: Save the game on a different file if you wish to continue the game as the Prince.Secret Ending
To get the secret ending simply obtain all 9 life upgrades, when you get to the room before the Empress' throne room there will be a new sword waiting for you. It is the water sword and said to be the only thing that can kill the Dahaka. For your final battle, instead of fighting the Empress you fight the Dahaka. The Dahaka's attacks are repetitive and predictable. When far away he will shoot his tendrils throw the ground up at you, run around in circles to avoid it making
your way ever closer to him. If you get too close he'll shoot out his tendrils directly at you, roll to dodge them. As you roll slow down time and go in for some heavy combo hitting, as you get him lower in health the Empress will help you and shoot him off the arena, he will be stuck on the ledge, stock up on sand tanks (They regenerate around the arena) and slow down time or use Ravages of time to inflict maximum damage. He'll eventually get back up and jump at you, constantly roll until he calms down and remains.
Rayman Fist
This is located in the Catacombs. Because the Dahaka is chasing you, consider using slow time to escape him. Get to the section where you have to pull three stones out of the wall to raise the central area. After pulling the first, go to the stairway, make a right, run on two walls and jump to the bar on the right side. Swing from the bar and follow the path and make a quick left. The fist is in a weapon rack to the left. The Rayman fist is unbreakable with a high attack rate but does little damage. If you throw it, you lose it forever.
Sand Griffin
You should already have the strongest ground attack given to you. When facing the Griffin, hold Block then hold down the button that controls your sand powers. While holding these, charge up until your ground attack is at maximum. This should automatically send out its shockwave, dealing a great amount to the Sand Griffin. Do this about three to four times and it should die.

Unlock Teddy Bear
One of the miscellaneous secondary weapons is the teddy bear. Locate it after earning the Scorpion Sword in the clock (west) tower. There are three encounters with a giant golem enemy in the clocktower when you initially go through it; the first is before you start negotiating the vertical climbing of the tower (past); the second is atop the clock tower (past); the third is is stationary and throws exploding monsters in the clock tower's second area (past).
Look for the room where the second giant golem enemy is. You will need to be in the present (so find a time portal) and drop into the water-filled dead end past the golem's room. Break the wall and retrieve the teddy bear.
The teddy bear is almost unbreakable and does almost no damage, but has the ability to restore lost life to the Prince with each successful blow on an enemy.
Warrior Within Unlockable: Hockey Stick
After you obtain the Scorpion sword find your way back to the central room. Turn the turnstile so that the lever is facing the doorway with the save point fountain. Stand facing the opposite doorway and walk up a bit and to the right. You will find a ledge that is one step lower than the area around you. Walk down and grab on to it. Jump to the opposite ledge and jump back and forth to slowly make your way down. Once you reach the bottom drop down to the ledge below it. Wall run to the next wall and get ready to jump off and back and forth to make your way up. Wall run again and when you reach the end wall jump to slow your descent once more, you'll eventually grab onto a ledge. Make your way to the doorway that is next to it, but DON'T GO IN. Instead keep going on the rocks until you see the area where sand is falling. With the scorpion sword in hand break the wall. Break the rack of weapons and pick up the hockey stick.
As with all special weapons the hockey stick is unbreakable, but if you throw it you lose it for good. It has moderate damage and a relatively slow attack rate.
