Part of The Architect quest in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown requires you to solve a Tic Tac Toe puzzle in the Sunken Harbour region of the game, but you may need help figuring out exactly what to do.

The Lost Crown sees Prince of Persia return once more, but with a new 2.5D perspective and more puzzles than ever before. They allow you to grab rewards ranging from Damascus Ingots for upgrades, to skins to change Sargon's look. 

If it's the Tic Tac Toe puzzle that you're looking to complete, check out where to find it and how to solve it below.

The Tic Tac Toe puzzle is located in the Sunken Harbour region of the game (marked on the map below) at the most southeastern point.

You won't be able to get there until you unlock the Dimensional Claw ability, which lets you throw bombs to break the destructible walls locking off the area.

After gaining access, move south from the room with the pirate ship, drop down past the Wak Wak Tree, and head east to find the puzzle room.

How to solve Tic Tac Toe

After you come across the Tic Tac Toe, you can solve it by using your Chakram ability (hold Y or triangle) and aiming it in the top left corner of the board.

After throwing it, it will stay in the corner, creating a line of circles, so you can win the game and solve the puzzle. 

A chest will then pop up from the metal altar on the floor, however, this is a mimic chest, so you will need to defeat it for the reward. After doing so, you can claim Ard's Fortune amulet.
