Released in December 2005, Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones is the final game in the Sands of Time trilogy. On a cue from its fans, Ubisoft brought back Yuri Lowenthal, the actor who voiced the Prince in the first game, and they didn't try to make the hero completely dark and foreboding this time. The game starts off where Warrior Within ends; the Prince returns with Kaileena to his home city of Babylon, only to realize his previous actions were not exactly for the greater good ...

I'd like to thank the following people:

Also a thanks to all of the other people supporting my run that I may not know about or missed.

I don't want to spoil anything for those who haven't seen any of my segments yet, so I won't talk that much about them.

This is my first ever speedrun, Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones 100% on Hard Mode. I was initially planning on doing a single-segment 100% on Normal Difficulty, but as school grew closer and summer ended, I realized I wouldn't have time to do it single-segment. I have always been a fan of the games from the Prince of Persia series. I always knew that I would one day do a speedrun for one of them. By doing this speedrun, I have realized exactly how hard and frustrating speedrunning really is. When I finally finished it, it felt like something very heavy had just been taken off my back. It was a very nice feeling.

There weren't very many mistakes in this speedrun and the tricks were pulled off very well. I especially like how easily and quick I did the Life Upgrades. I have to admit, the boss battles weren't very good. They were good, but they could be better. I absolutely hate the fighting system of this game. You really begin to notice how much it sucks when all of a sudden the Prince goes and attacks an enemy a mile away from you, when you're trying to smash a pot to get some sand. You really begin to notice how poor the fighting system is when you verse the Twins. No matter what, the Prince always wants to attack the one with the axe!

I love the camera system this game has. It makes things so much easier when trying to make a difficult jump. There were probably a few weird game bugs that you noticed while watching this run. The two that you probably noticed is when you see me jumping down to face the Stone Guardian, you hear the sound the Prince makes when he dies, and the cutscene where the Prince jumps off of the chariot and tackles Axe, the cutscene kind of freezes then goes on. For the first weird game bug, I think that happened because I rewinded just as the Prince hit the ground. For the second weird bug, I think I have a faulty game disc or something because no matter what, the cutscene always freezes like that.

Anyways, I hope you like my run. Enjoy!

...and the Prince of Persia trilogy is complete.
