As you fight to free Persia from the Huns in Rogue Prince of Persia, you will discover that Berude has captured the prince’s brother, Shahin. I will show you the steps to follow to free Shahin and take him to the Oasis in Rogue Prince of Persia.
How to free Shahin in The Rogue Prince of Persia
In The Rogue Prince of Persia, there are several steps you must follow to recognize the Prince’s brother. First of all, you must explore the Hun War Camp and the Academy to discover Shahin’s captivity.
Next, you must defeat Berude and find out where Shahin is being held captive. Doing all of this will allow you to talk to Shahin, find a way to free him, and bring him back to the Oasis alongside the Prince.
How to unlock the Shahin Academy and rescue mission
To unlock the Academy, players will need to unlock the Hun War Camp area. To do this, you must talk to the village chief, Azadeh, in Zagros Village. Your conversation with her will unlock the Hun War Camp. You won’t be able to visit it right away, but you can choose to explore it on your next run.
On your next run, head to the Hun War Camp. Naturally, you should come across a small, open building with a table. Walking past the table will give you a queue to interact with it. Doing so will allow you to read a note from Berude that talks about capturing someone at the Academy. This note unlocks the location of the Academy and is used as the first clue for Shahin’s rescue mission.
Searching for clues at the Academy
In the Academy, there will be many doors with golden light coming out of them. You’ll want to enter all of these. Many will contain chests or an altar, one will contain an equipment chest, and another will contain a clue about Shahin. You will need to find this clue to continue.
After entering the messy clue room, you will see an exclamation mark above the desk in the room. She interacts with him to investigate. The Prince realizes that the torn cloth belongs to his brother Shahin, who has been captured by Berude.
Using this clue, complete the Academy puzzle to open the door and face Berude.
Questioning Berude
The next time you face Berude, the dialogue will change and focus on Shahin.
After being defeated, Berude will speak a few words about Shahin. She will also mention that he is imprisoned in the Tower of Oblivion.

If you couldn’t defeat Berude the first time, don’t worry! It gives you the perfect opportunity to find the clue to Shahin’s freedom hidden in the Aqueduct. To find it, you will have to go down as many areas as you can until you see a well with a leak.
After finding this, continue forward and face Berude again.
Finding Shahin in the Tower of Oblivion
Head to the Tower of Oblivion after defeating Berude.
To find Shahin, you will have to go as deep into the dungeons as you can. I usually find it on one of the paths on the left side. You’ll know you’re in the right place because you’ll see a teleport point followed by a series of cell doors.
Continue down the hallway to find Shahin trapped in a cell at the end. She will be happy to see his brother, but currently there is no way to escape.
After talking to Shahin, jump to the ledge on the right. There is a lever you can pull that will move part of the roof. Follow the path to see an open door. Enter to find the prison guard’s office.
There will be a notebook on the desk that will talk about the guard who was trapped in the cell Shahin is in. He will mention Azadeh by name and the need for water to flow to open the door. The Prince will notice that the Aqueduct gate is used to open and close the cell doors.
You won’t be able to help Shahin anymore until your next race. I recommend moving forward as far as you can to get a feel for things and then restarting to continue rescuing Shahin.
Opening the door to Shahin’s cell
All events in this section must be completed in the same race. First, go to Zagros Village and talk to Azaden. Ask her for help with the situation and she will give you leverage.
Then, return to the area you saw earlier in the Aqueduct. The lever can be placed on a blue platform on the wall. Pull it to make the water run down the shaft.
Now, defeat Berude again to return to the prison. You must do this on the same path where you started the water. When you return to Shahin’s cell, you will notice that the water is spinning a waterwheel in the background.
Climb up to the nearby ledge to use the lever. Pull it to rotate the roof.
Pulling the lever changes the direction of the water wheel. This opens the cell doors, freeing Shahin. The Prince will send him back to Oasis while he continues along the path.
When you return to camp, Shahin will be waiting for you next to the Prince’s tent.
