Best Medallions in The Rogue Prince of Persia
Making sure that you've always got the best Medallions equipped will almost guarantee success in The Rogue Prince of Persia, especially if you combine them.
Using the best Medallions will truly unlock your power in The Rogue Prince of Persia, giving you a number of special abilities to help you power through even the toughest areas.
While you're unable to choose what options appear in-game, understanding which ones to prioritise or build towards can definitely make a difference in the long run.
What are the best Medallions?
| Medallion | Effects |
| Flaming Counter | For every hit taken:
|
| Sleight of Poison | For every hit landed on an enemy from behind:
|
| Vampiric Demise | When an enemy is killed:
|
| Bloody Spoils | When an enemy is killed:
|
| Health Insurance | For every gold coin spent:
|
| Restorative Dream Fragment | When finding a new Well of Dreams:
|
| Shield Breaker | Inflict 50% more damage against enemies with shields. Every time you break a shield:
|
| Flaming Dive | When hitting the ground with a dive attack:
|
| Immortal | At the moment of death:
|
| Pyromaniac | Killing a burning enemy spreads fire to nearby enemies |
| Flaming Kick | When kicking an enemy:
|
| Slicing Kick | When kicking an enemy:
|
As you can see, many of my picks for the best Medallions revolve around health boosts, as staying alive is the single most important part of each run.
Fire I've found to be the strongest status effect too, especially when paired with something like Pyromaniac which spreads the damage effectively.
Many of the best Medallions become even stronger when joined efficiently with similar options too. For example, combining Bloody Spoils with Health Insurance not only increases the amount of items that you can buy but also ensures that your health is topped up when doing so.
You'll need to make sure that your boosts are spread efficiently when placing your Medallions though, as many of the options only truly unlock their powers when reaching the second or third level of boost.
