More to come in the next few days....

ii. Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ok, here is the deal. For this FAQ, I ask that NOBODY E-MAIL ME QUESTIONS! The 
reason for this is because chances are I won't be able to answer them unless 
they have to do with the first part of the game or so. And the reason for that 
is because I only _BRIEFLY_ played this game at my friend's house and that was 
it. So you must be wondering, how did I make this FAQ then? Well, most of this 
info. is ALL from my friend who isn't a FAQ writer (and actually has no desire 
to become one.) And yes I could accept questions and just direct them to my 
friend, but that will take up a lot of my time because I have about 30 other e-
mails I need to deal with a day. So if this FAQ does not help you, then I guess 
you are going to have to find help somewhere else, because I repeat....PLEASE NO 
QUESTIONS!

2.) Walkthrough
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Prison
-----------
Here is where the game begins. Your character is locked up in a prison cell with 
no weapons, nothing! Towards the back of the cell you will notice a big block. 
This is the way out. Push the block out of your way with the CTRL key and the UP 
key on the Number Pad (#8). Once the block is out of your way go through the 
hall and through the corridor. The place you are looking for is the 1st door on 
your left, so turn in there when you come to it.

Now you need to find out how to escape this prison. Talk to the prisoner on the 
left side of the room and ask him how, he doesn't know how, drats! Talk to the 
one on the right and he will give you some info. on how to get out. There is a 
ledge leading to a platform above this prisoners head (The prisoner on the right 
side of the room). Jump up onto this ledge and pull yourself up. To do this, 
hold down the ALT key and press Up on the Number Pad (#8) and keep holding them 
until you have made it all the way up onto the platform.

You will now have to climb up yet another ledge to make it to another platform. 
There is a ledge to climb up where the sunlight is shining. Jump up and pull 
yourself up. Finally you can leave. Leave the room and you will see a cinema of 
the guard in the next room.

Look around for the room that has a prisoner sitting on the ground. Once you 
find it go inside. To the right of the prisoner is another door. Go inside here 
and you will see some showers. Near the back of this room you will find a switch 
on the floor. Step on it and a trap door will open on the floor above.

A cinema will play after you hit the switch, after it's done climb through the 
trap door you just opened by using ALT and the UP Key on the Number Pad (#8). In 
the room you come to, you will see an opening in a wall. Go towards this opening 
and behind it you will find a passageway that leads down. Go down the passageway 
and when you come to the water, jump in!

Underwater, the controls are: ALT + Down (2) on the Number pad to make the 
Prince come to the surface of the water for air, ALT + Up (8) on the number pad 
to make him dive deeper into the water and to make him swim, and ALT + Left (4) 
or Right (6) on the Number pad to make him turn to the left or right.

Make the Prince swim to the right where you will find a ledge leading to a 
platform to get you out of this water. Swim to the ledge, and press SHIFT + Up 
(8) on the Number Pad to climb out of the water. Turn to your left and you will 
notice a rock ledge. Climb the ledge with ALT + Up (8) on the Number Pad. 

You now come to a bridge (the water under the bridge is where you just were). 
You must RUN across this bridge quickly and don't stop because as you run across 
it starts to break and fall into the water. If you do happen to fall into the 
water, just swim back to the ledge and you will have to now jump across the 
bridge because pieces of it have already fallen out from the last time you 
crossed it. To jump across, just run forward with Up (8) on the Number Pad and 
when you get to the bridge press ALT while still holding Up (8) on the Number 
Pad and you will jump across the empty spaces of the bridge.

Once you cross the bridge you will find another ledge to your left. Climb this 
ledge using ALT + Up (8) on Number Pad. Once you make it up go straight. You 
will come to another ledge to climb. Climb it and when you get to the top turn 
right into a corridor that has torches in it. SAVE NOW! I strongly suggest you 
save your game here because you are going to be doing something pretty difficult 
and if you fail you can start over from here again rather than doing everything 
over.

Continue going through the corridor. You will come to your first trap. It is lit 
with a green light. You need to jump over this trap by running with Up (8) on 
the Number Pad and ALT when you are ready to jump. You won't make it all the way 
across the trap, but you should hang onto the other side of the trap if you did 
it correctly. Pull yourself up using ALT + Up (8) on the Number Pad.

Once you make it past the trap, you will notice that there is a small hole in 
the wall. You have to crawl through this hole in order to get to the other side. 
Use C + Up (8) on the Number Pad to crawl through the hole. Make your way to the 
prisoner that is on the left. You will see a cinema of this prisoner telling you 
what to do.

I strongly suggest that you save again here. Turn to your right and make your 
way through the corridor. This is another tough part. You will have to sneak 
past some guards as the prisoner told you. To sneak Press and hold SHIFT + Up 
(8) on the Number Pad. Sneak past them, and if you want to go faster, you can 
run ONLY if they can't see you. Make your way out of this room by sneaking or 
running if you can.

Once you have made your way past the guards, turn right and go to the end of 
another corridor. Now turn to your left and go through another passageway and 
under some wooden things. Keep going through this corridor and sneak past the 
guard that you will come to. At the end of the passageway step on the switch 
that is on the floor and a cinema will play showing a door being opened. 

Now you are going to have to go back. Turn around using the #5 key on the Number 
Pad. Walk back past the guards through the corridor and when you come to some 
barrels turn right and you will go into another corridor that has torches in it.

Yep, you guessed it, save your game again. You should always save your game when 
you come to new areas. But I will tell you when you should or not. You come to 
another trap that needs to be jumped over. Use ALT + Up (8) on the Number Pad to 
jump over the trap. If you don't make it all the way over and land hanging on 
the other side. Just pull yourself out. If you didn't make it and you fell 
through the trap you will have to do it again. See why I tell you to save? 

Go through the door and make your way through the short passageway. Turn left 
and save your game! Go out the door and make your way through another corridor 
that has torches in it. Go through this corridor and you will come to 2 traps 
that are side by side! However, there is a little walkway for you in between 
them. I suggest you sneak or walk through this walkway because running might 
make you fall into one of the traps.

Continue going through this corridor to the left. You will make your way to 
another trap. This one has a lot of blood on it. Looks like somebody else wasn't 
careful :) This trap can be easily tackled by sneaking past it on the left or 
right side of it. Go all the way to the left or right sides of this trap and 
sneak by.

Go on until you make it to the end of the passageway where you will find a table 
and a lamp above it. You also might notice a platform that is holding the lamp. 
Climb up onto this platform using ALT + Up (8) on the Number Pad. Walk the 
prince to the left wall, and press the #5 key on the Number Pad to turn him 
around so that he is facing the opening on the right wall. Run to the end of the 
platform and jump right when you get to the edge. If you do this correctly you 
should jump over the closed door and into the room that is behind it.

More to come as I get it, sorry for the inconvience...
