With time working in mysterious ways and secrets everywhere to be found, Mount Qaf is a peculiar location that players will slowly get to grips with in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. However, what doesn’t change is the quest to save Prince Ghassan. This guide will reveal everything to know about all Prophecy Sand Jar locations in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown.
What are Prophecy Sand Jars in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown?
In Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, players will come across glowing sand jars that can be destroyed. Doing so will release prophetic sand that will start to fill out a large fresco found near the Haven, which will reveal the entire timeline of Sargon’s quest and the possibilities that await as part of the Prophecy of Mount Qaf side quest. Collecting all 30 sand jars and completing the fresco will also net players the Written in the Sand trophy and achievement.
Naturally, this will not be a straightforward task, as these sand jars are never found in plain sight. Instead, players will have to use all of their time powers as well as platforming skills to get to the harder ones found around Mount Qaf.
To kick it off, interact with the sand jar that is right in front of the fresco located at this location below:
Now, the hunt for the 30 sand jars located around the world can begin in earnest. None of the jars are missable, and it is highly recommended that players gain all of the time powers available to Sargon before attempting to finish off this quest.
