How to unlock the Acrobat achievement in Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands - Definitive Guide
I got the achievement VERY easy by doing this method on this particular stage.
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!
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....
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.
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 ^_^
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:
