Where are the Prince of Persia The Lost Crown lore collectibles? Spread all throughout Mount Qaf, you’ll come across a myriad of different items that expand on the lore surrounding the game. While these items have no gameplay purpose other than adding to your completion percentage, they do a lot of heavy lifting at fleshing out what exactly happened before Sargon and friends arrived at the cursed mountain. Once picking them up, you can view the information from the pause menu at any time.
PoP lore collectibles aren’t the only items you’ll find that count toward the completion percentage for Prince of Persia The Lost Crown. Our guide on PoP Xerxes coins details where to find the hard-to-reach currency which provides some of the stiffest challenges in the game. PoP side quests also flesh out the history of Mount Qaf, and luckily we’ve detailed how to complete all nine of them. Finally, take a peek at our review to see what we thought of the latest Prince of Persia adventure.
