Armored Guardsman is an enemy in Prince of Persia 3D.

Biography[]

Guarding doors and hallways, from the depths of the dungeons, to the highest towers of his palace, are Assan's soldiers. Some are merely doing their job, and are no more cruel or violent than any mercenary, while others have fully embraced the vicious ruthlessness of their master. All are utterly faithful to Assan, because any hint of disloyalty in the past has merited death. You can expect no mercy in combat with these driven warriors. However, as with every army, the quality of these soldiers varies greatly from unseasoned recruits to expert sword and spearmen. The cream of King Assan's forces guard the upper levels of his palace[1].

Gameplay[]

Armored Guardsman fight like a regular sword enemy[2].

Trivia[]

  • All the different Guardsmen are in the PG folders in the game files, and the master file spells out the "Palace Guard", which alludes to their work-in-progress name "Palace Guard" as seen on the "Making of Prince of Persia 3D" video[3].
  • In game dialogue between the Prince and a Prisoner names them Guardsman.
  • One Armored Guardsman in the game files is named "Contest Winner". It seems that a fan got his face into the game through a competition. In Prince of Persia: Arabian Nights, that one has the same appearance as the other Armored Guardsmen. Also in Arabian Nights, the first fightable Armored Guardsman from the Dungeon, along with the one who closes the drawbridge in the Ivory Tower, are loaded with the non-armored Guardsman skin. The spear-wielding Darkhold Assassin in the Palace 2 level is also spawned as a sword-wielding Armored Guardsman.
