* AllYourPowersCombined: If Sargon completes Ardashir's sidequest, he ends up having to MercyKill the general who uses all the skills of his soldiers who were fought before him in the boss battle.

* AndYourRewardIsClothes: [[spoiler:There's a hidden room in the citadel (which you pay several Xerxes coins to access) with the most difficult spike-pillar puzzle in the entire game. It goes on for several minutes and tests almost all of your skills. Your reward for it is Lilac, a purple palette swap outfit for Sargon.]]

---> '''The Prince''': Most people think that time is like a river, that runs swift and sure in one direction. But I have seen the face of time, and I can tell you... they are wrong.

** Most immediately, it refers to the inciting mission to rescue the kidnapped Prince Ghassan. At the end of Act 1, [[spoiler: he's killed, seemingly lost for good]]. Later Prince Ghassan is [[spoiler: saved from death, and his time with Sargon after this shows that Ghassan is loyal to Persia over his own treacherous mother, Queen Thomyris, making him a good fit as the Prince despite the reveal that he's not technically supposed to have the title]].
** Later it's discovered that [[spoiler: Vahram is secretly the son of King Darius and thus has a proper claim to the throne. Queen Thomyris murdered Darius (thus losing the crown to her) before she left Vahram for dead]]. Vahram is eventually [[fought as the final boss, and his death to Sargon means Persia has lost one of the claimants to the throne]].
** Even later, a side quest heavily implies that [[spoiler: Sargon and Ghassan were switched at birth, meaning that ''Sargon'' could have been the Prince of Persia but grew up on the streets instead]].
** Sargon can meet alternate versions of himself who failed in their quest on Mount Qaf, meaning they lost the Prince of Persia. You can potentially add two more thanks to the above reveal that [[spoiler: Sargon is a candidate for the Prince of Persia, making his alternates "lost crowns" after failing their mission and getting lost in Mount Qaf's TimeCrash]].
** Thanks to the TimeCrash, Sargon meets [[spoiler: a young version of Vahram, lost in the broken time-space of Mount Qaf, who hates how his older self has turned out and supports Sargon's efforts. TheStinger reveals Young Vahram starting a normal life raised on the restored Mount Qaf]].
** Finally, by the end of the game [[spoiler: all three Prince candidates rescind their claims to the throne in some fashion. Vahram sacrifices his life to restore the universe after almost destroying it, Prince Ghassan abdicates in protest of his mother's assertion of the throne and ''literally'' removes his crown, and while Sargon was given the Simurgh's blessing, he doesn't accept the position upon returning to Persia and instead departs the palace to places unknown]].
