Undead Prisoner Attack to Evade

The Undead Prisoner will consistently pull back the massive pillar he’s wielding and begins to charge at you. As you can tell by the red flash indicator, you cannot Parry this attack. Instead, you need to evade it. He may sometimes turn around after and repeat the attack, so be on the lookout and prepared to dodge again if you see the red indicator flash.

Undead Prisoner Attack to Evade

Now you need to keep an eye out for the yellow flash indicator, which indicates you can Parry the attack. Typically you need to time this sort of Parry perfectly, as a second too late or early will cause you to fail the Parry and the enemy attack will hit you anyway.

However, as the first miniboss of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, the game will make it easy for you to Parry this attack almost as a tutorial. Doing so will trigger a special counterattack animation where you deal massive damage to the Undead Prisoner. You can pull off these effective Parry counterattacks against all bosses and most enemies, so be sure to keep an eye out for the yellow flesh indicator to do so.
