Prince of Persia 2 - Warrior Within
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

With all pedestals found you will be able to get the Water sword which is in the room before
the throne room. It will be in the center. The Water Sword gives you an alternate ending as
it is the only weapon capable of defeating the Dahaka.
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.
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.
