What Does Upgrading Weapons Do?

PoP The Lost Crown - Kaheva

Upgrading your weapons improves its overall stats, such as increasing how much damage it inflicts against enemies.

You'll encounter stronger enemies and difficult bosses as you make your way through the cursed city of Mount Qaf, so it's a good idea to check back with Kaheva to see if you can upgrade your weapons!

Best Upgrades to Prioritize

Prioritize Upgrading Qays and Layla First

Prince of Persia The Lost Crown - Qays and Layla Upgrade.png

We recommend upgrading Qays and Layla before you consider other upgrades since these are the main weapons you'll be using in the game.

Your trusty blades will help give you a fighting chance against stronger enemies and deadlier foes if you choose to prioritize their upgrades.

How to Get Qays & Layla

Consider Upgrading The Bow of Menolias After Your Swords

Prince of Persia The Lost Crown - Bow of Menolias Upgrade.png

The Bow of Menolias comes in handy when dealing with hovering hazards during boss battles and executing long range attacks when needed.

While we recommend upgrading the bow/chakram, we caution you to upgrade Menolias' Quiver as arrows are replenishable resource and can be acquired from defeating enemies.

How to Get the Bow and Chakram of Menolias

Upgrading Menolias' Quiver May Come In Handy

Prince of Persia The Lost Crown - Menolias

Menolias' Quiver can be very handy in allowing you to perform more range attacks using the Bow of Menolias.

Consider upgrading Menolias' Quiver last, since we recommend you prioritize upgrading both your swords and bow to increase your damage output in battle.
