Backtracking doesn't need to be arduous

Fast travel in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown can only be initiated across various fast travel altars. These fast travel altars are identifiable by the time distortion effect blurring the edges of the screen.

When you see shards and rocks stuck in stasis in the air, you know you’re right near a fast travel altar. To activate the altar, attack the ball at the center of the distortion until it coalesces and builds into the altar.

There are 21 fast travel altars in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. All of the locations are listed below and organized by region.

Lower City

Scholars’ Area

The Scholars’ Area in the Lower City is the first fast travel location that gets unlocked. Just walk left of the Wak-Wak Tree in the room below the Archives entrance to find the time stasis rock and attack it to unlock the fast travel altar.

The Haven

This is actually where the very first fast travel altar (Scholars’ Area) takes you. You can attack the locked door to the right to unlock the shortcut to The Haven hub. The Haven is an essential fast travel zone to have since it’s the game’s main hub area.
