How to unlock the Untouchable achievement in Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands - Definitive Guide
Upgrade your Stone Sheild to level 4, and use it for every second of the battle. You can tell when the shield is about to run out by watching the green orb that activates when you start up the shield. Every timw this goes out, use it again. As Ratash summons more enemies to fight, you will regain energy for the sheild.
Edit:
As lipo mentioned in his comment, you can reload the last checkpoint and still get the achievement if you get hit.
1) NEVER use time reversal, NEVER, even if dont get hit this disable the cheevo from popping (dont ask me why).
2) DONT get a frontal hit from the balls he launch to you, if you see your screen with red borders its over, you get hitted, even if you have the stone armor up and take 0 dmg, you need to do the plataforming part very fast.
3) Use the stone armor in the fighting scenes as normal.
Remember you can use the return to last checkpoint stuff, but copy your save to a memory stick before the fight, just to be sure.
For this to work best, you must preferably have at least a few Energy units (blue orbs) in the metter.
First of all, remember that you must remain untouched but just until the next cutscene, which is always a checkpoint. And that using rewing time to undo damage DOES NOT work for the achievement to unlock. Finally, if you take ANY sort of damage or die, reload the last checkpoint. With that in mind:
1. Watch the video posted in the solution above to get a better understanding of the 3 parts/sequencies of this fight.
2. Instead of using the stone armor in the 1st part of the fight, prefer Ice Blast which can make the entire thing go significantly faster. That way you can also attack from afar (assuming that you have that power upgraded) without worrying about getting hit.
3. For part 2, when you must climb the walls, you can use 1 Energy unit with stone armor, just to be safe, until you reach the enemy and trigger the next cutscene. Remember, if you fall during jumps you'd better load last checkpoint.
4. In the last part, ignore all skeletons and go straight against the main prize, the big boss. You obviously must use stone armor at all times, but if you focus on the boss, he'll be taken down before you run out of Energy units. Each use of stone armor lasts for a while, so don't waste it, just pay attention when it wears out.
If this solution helped you in any way, leave it a thumbs up.
Then just start a new game, no need to repeat the Enemy Tides for this. Upgrades are saved to your profile so it's kinda like always starting a New Game +
THIS TROPHY IS MISSABLE!
When you enter the throne room later on in the game a cutscene will begin. This is where you will have your first fight against Ratash, please follow below to see how to complete the fight whilst taking no damage.
After the cutscene turn around and climb up the protruding blocks onto the ledge above. Move left and a gap will appear, use the water freeze power and swing on the new water pole onto the next ledge. Run straight ahead and climb up some more blocks, wall run to the right to climb up onto your final ledge. Run forward and jump onto the pole, swing forward to land on the slope and slide down to where Ratash is.
This is important!! Ratash will jump away to a balcony, there will be an auto save here so if you have taken any damage it will be saved and you will have to restart the game from the beginning.
You need to manoeuvre up the columns in the middle of the room by using the water freeze power. When you get to the top slide down the small ramp & jump towards Ratash, he will jump back to the floor and you will start the last part of this battle.
You will be back on the floor now, but this time a lot more sand enemies will be fighting against you. Keep rolling around attacking Ratash’s legs whilst trying to avoid hits from the other enemies. When all his life is down he will be defeated and you will get your trophy.
Remember you can’t take any damage in this fight, see below for tips on how to make sure you don’t.
TIPS:
-
Try to keep rolling between Ratash’s legs as he swings his sword at you. This will cause him to miss you and you will then be behind him which will allow you a few more seconds to attack him.
-
Try not to use you power attack too much. Even though it can do a little more damage than a normal attack it slows you down whilst you hold , this leaves you vulnerable to being hit a lot more.
-
Use the ‘Stone Armour’ power. This power encases you in stone and stops enemies damaging your health. It also seems to make your attacks more powerful & cause more damage. I recommend you try to upgrade this power to level 4 as soon as possible, the power will last for a little bit longer & will be more a bit powerful.
