Prison 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].

Prison Guardsman transports a Monkess prisoner to the Assan's Palace from the Ivory Tower[2].

Gameplay[]

Prison Guardsman is intended only for a ingame cutscene. It is possible for him to sometimes turn around and walk right out of the closed gate he is scripted to walk through, in which case he can be fought by the player. Additionally, he can be fought if the player skips the cutscene by breaking the game. Then when fighting Prison Guardsman has 3 life bottles of health and fight like a regular sword enemy[2].

Trivia[]

  • All the different Guardsmen are in the PG folders in the game files, which alludes to their work-in-progress name "Palace Guard" as seen on the "Making of Prince of Persia 3D" video[3].
  • Prison Guardsman in an alternate retextured version of Fat Guardsman. In Prince of Persia: Arabian Nights, he and the Dirigible Captain NPCs are spawned as Fat Guardsmen instead.
