How to unlock the Acrobat achievement in Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands - Definitive Guide

OK, so, I have a tip that I believe will help make getting this achievement a bit easier as it can be a bit frustrating. While a larger group of enemies definitely helps, it is not necessary, nor is repeatedly hammering/mashing the A button, as the above solution suggests. The trick here is to get a feel for the timing. Without understanding the timing, it can feel a bit difficult, if not somewhat random, to control the direction of the Prince's jumps. I'm sure you will notice the "swaying" animation of the Prince once he has landed on the head of an enemy. Here is where the timing comes in: Instead of mashing the A button, wait a split second for the Prince to stabalize before attempting to jump again (I cannot emphasize enough how short a time window this is). Once you get a feel for it, there is a definite rhythm to it. I was able to get in the vacinity of 50-60 consecutive jumps without breaking a sweat, and could have easily done more. The area I did this in was The Baths. Hope this helps everyone.

Yeah, it would be good to stress that after you press the first pressure plate and activate a pull bar at the beginning of the baths, the enemies that spawn are perfect for this achievement. Be sure to keep the sorcerers alive as you take out the shield enemies and lieutenants. Let the sorcerers spawn as many skeletons as they can and it should provide a large carpet of heads to jump on, using the timing advice described here.

Cheers bro, been struggling and as soon as I got to grips with how long the Prince (Or Ezio as he is costumed for me) can stand on an enemy before jumping again I got this. Thanks again.

Best place to get this achievement as well is at THE OASIS after you come out THE SEWERS,when you solidify the wall and jump to grab the lever,the room will be filled with enemies conjured up by 2 sorcerers,there is only 2-3 guys with shields in the room,you dont even have to kill them just make sure you dont jump toward them.

I got the achievement VERY easy by doing this method on this particular stage.

This can be quite tough as you have to time the jump right. Wait till you find a super large group of enemies (ideally mainly normal skeletons and not special ones). Jump onto one and then press jump a second later in a direction of another. You have to keep jumping from one to another without getting knocked down. Jump on 30 heads and it will unlock.

Lots of trail and error with this one as it is all to do with timing and making sure you don't get pushed off. I found hammering the A button helped out a lot!

The best place I found to do this, is near the beginning of the game when you first encounter a large group of sand skeletons. Let them come to you in the center of the room and then start jumping. As you leap off of them, direct your next landing toward the larger clusters of enemies.As said by the other posts, it's really just a matter of getting your jump rhythm down. I used this method and it took me four to five tries to get.

I got my achievement on the challenges after I beat the game

it was on round 6, this is a good level because there are no enemies with shields that can through you off

I also got the "like dominoes" achievement easily here

i hope this helps....

This takes some trial an error as well as timing. The other solutions give great places to try this because of the mass amounts of enemies. The Bath house is a great place to do this but it has some shield enemies there and if you try to jump on them they swat you back to the floor. I found 2 places that I was able to do this without any problems.

The first is in the Sewers when you first encounter the Summoning enemy. If you leave him be he summons about 15 normal skeleton enemies and since the room is small they all tend to stay tightly packed. While there isn't a lot of enemies here I found I was able to aim and control the Prince better when jumping from enemy to enemy, plus it doesn't have to be 30 different enemies, I was jumping back and forth between the same 2 enemies for at least 10-15 of the jumps.

The second place is near the end of the game (after Ratash has become a part of your sword) when you are running up the side of a tower and there is just a mass amount of enemies spawning, I was able to jump on the enemies all the way up the tower and then all the way back down again. By pushing A at the right time and just moving forward or backward.

The best area for this I felt was at the very end of The Aqueducts section, where you're in an open area with some crows awaiting you.

A heap of enemies appear, but the real reason why this is great for the achievement is that none of the shield bearing enemies are part of this group so it's extremely easy to jump on anything without being knocked off, plus there are so so many of them in this instance!

Good luck ^_^

DEFINETELY as early as at THE STABLES, that is, on the first time you face the skeleton enemies in the game.

In the short cutscene 2 of them skeletons will be shown but indeed there will be around 20 for you to jump on, which is the most enemies that you'll fight at once up to this point in the game.

Keep trying just to get the hang of it. I did it right in my 5th attempt. A trick that helped besides having them in a circle near one of the walls and just keep jumping back and forth on the same directions was to direct the jump, press A and then quickly releasing the buttom before doing in again towards the opposite way.

It wasn't necessary but I kept doing the jumps even after the achievement popped, which proves that it's just a matter of practice.

Best of "luck" and if you follow this solution please give it a thumbs up.

Right near the beginning of the game (after about 5-10 minutes of play) you will come to land on a walkway, a cut-scene will play where it shows a tower being moved towards the walkway. As the tower hits it will break open revealing alot of enemies. Now here is where I went for this trophy, it is best to try this with a lot of enemies nearby because when you jump in a direction there is almost always an enemy to land on. If there is only a short amount of enemies then you will be more likely to jump onto the floor which will break the chain.

To start jumping simply run up to an enemy and press to jump on its shoulders, now push the left analogue stick in the direction of another enemy and tap again. You should hop to that enemy and land on its shoulders, keep doing this until you see the trophy pop up. Remember you can’t press to reverse time if you do happen to fall!

Another great place to get this trophy is in ‘The Baths’. Watch the video below for more help:

As few others mentioned, 'The Stables' is an easiest option to get this acheivement.
Here is a video walkthrough (I take no credit for the video)

It's easy to get a trophy from those dudes who raise ordinary zombies, preferably there were 3 of them

There will be many places as you progress through the game with a large number of enemies. The main thing is, if there are enemies with shields in the crowd, kill them. and no problem..

A tough trophy, I got it by accident (from a friend) almost at the very end when you go up, and heaps and heaps will come at you from above) ) ​​)

I did this, jumped to the middle and back (so 5 times) after everyone was crowded together, we run back, as the crowd approaches, we kick the legs of the first blind man, he knocks down others like pins, then we jump on the head of the one standing, then we jump back on those who are already standing , and again to the middle of the crowd and back, 3-4 times.

P.S. don’t jump over the heads of the crowd until the end of the crowd, otherwise those behind you will run away and you will end up landing on the ground

I got this trophy on normal enemies. The main thing is not to do it on enemies with shields, as they push the prince away when he jumps on them. Therefore, if you see a crowd of enemies, then before making a trophy, clear the crowd of unnecessary enemies, and then get to work. I received this trophy according to this scheme in a location where there are two statues poured into the wall and a small lake between us - there is just a small crowd of enemies there. This is almost immediately after meeting Malik. The prince is still there (at the entrance to the location) and says that someone there is going to take Salamon.
