How to unlock the City of Light Runner achievement in Prince of Persia - Definitive Guide
First go to your map and set your destination to City of Light. Then teleport to Tower of Ahriman; as soon as you arrive press Y and then follow the direction of Elika's magic. If you are lost or unsure hit Y to get on the right path.
You don't have to be perfect so don't start over if you fall once or twice.
This particular run will not take anywhere near 7 minutes to finish. It took me about 5 minutes.
These are all easier once you have healed all of the corrupted lands.
Why? No enemies, by this time you will also know the route, no annoying pieces of corrupted slime on walls that will make wallrunning harder, you will also have shortcuts thanks to Elika's unlocked abilities.
There’s no need to freak out on these achievements since they are all easy, just make sure you use Elika’s compass ability () to pick the shortest route. Warp to the starting point, place a marker on the end and go for it.
For this trophy I recommend that you teleport directly to the starting area (if you are already there, then teleport away and back again to start the timer). As soon as the loading screen clears and you are in control, get going. The following video shows the optimal route from point A to point B, just don't make too many mistakes and you'll be fine.
