Official Description

"Built from the remains of hapless pirates and merchants lured to the Island of Time. Keepers are mostly common fodder for the Empress' army.

On some occasions, they are joined by the more powerful Raiders and Executioners."
—Official Booklet Description[1]

Gameplay

Strategy

Keepers are capable of pulling off sophisticated and synchronized battle tactics against the player. They will surround the player and attack from multiple directions at the same time. Keepers are capable pulling off a three-hit combo that deplete the players lifebar if given the opportunity. However, their weakness lies in their reaction time. When the Keeper attempts to strike the player with kick, players can avoid Keepers' attacking by parrying or blocking.

When surrounded by pack of Keepers, using combos like Azad's Retaliation and Rage of Darius will knock them all down, especially if wielding a mace that has the capability knock the enemies to the floor.

Known Inconsistencies

  • According to the Prince of Persia Warrior Within Official Strategy Guide, Keepers are named "Raiders".[1] However, in a passage in the strategy guide describes the Raiders as "Keepers".[note 1] The earlier instance in the guide may be a likely typo on part of the BradyGames writing staff.
  • Additionally, in a promotional gameplay video that is unlockable in the video gallery for Warrior Within, "Raiders" are named "Keepers".[3]
