This article will guide you on how to solve the Upper City Astronomical Clock Puzzle in The Prince of Persia The Lost Crown.
Puzzle room #1 (Left chamber)
Use the Dimensional Claw to place the crystal inside the first receptacle. Jump to the bottom ledge, and retake the crystal.
Jump to the left wall and then to the top ledge and create a Shadow of the Simurgh copy.
Teleport to the top of the ledge. Jump up and create a Shadow of the Simurgh copy.
Retake the crystal, then teleport to your copy. As you fall, place the crystal into the topmost receptacle.
Puzzle room #2 (Bottom chamber)
Make a Shadow of the Simurgh copy on the left pressure plate to bring out the wall. Stand on the right pressure plate to move the ledge with the crystal to the other side of the room. Go back to your copy and as the ledge moves it makes the crystal fall on the ground.
Put the crystal inside the first receptacle. Jump to the left wall and then to the left ledge and create a Shadow of the Simurgh copy
Pick up the crystal and go back to your copy. Jump and dash toward the latch at the top. As you fall, put the crystal into the topmost receptacle above the latch.
Puzzle room #3 (Right chamber)
Insert the crystal into the lower receptacle.
Leap to the right wall and make a Shadow of the Simurgh copy above the middle receptacle.
After landing on the ground, retake the crystal. Jump up and position the crystal on the second receptacle.
Jump up once more, retrieve the crystal, and return to your copy. While descending, place the crystal into the receptacle positioned above the latch.
How to fix the clock hands
There are three plates on the ledge, each corresponding to a different symbol/color: blue, red, and yellow.
When you step on a plate, the ring with the corresponding symbol stops moving, while the others continue to rotate.
The objective is to step on a plate when its symbol is glowing. For example, you can start by standing on the blue plate to stop its ring. Then, when another symbol is about to glow, step on the plate with that color to halt its rotation.
By synchronizing the activation of all three symbols simultaneously, the mechanism in the Upper City Clock Puzzle in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is successfully solved.
