Themasked monstersare one of the first significant obstacles you’ll encounter inPrince of Persia: The Lost Crown, especially if you’ve gone off the beaten track to explore The Depths area. This poison-filled sewer is a pretty hostile environment, filled with blade-throwing ninjas and yes, giant mask-wearing monsters that block entire corridors, barring your progress.
