Prince of Persia 2 - Flying Heads

[Greg Staples]

I just bought Prince of Persia 2 and the 6th level with the flying heads
is driving me nuts. I can get past the first head (after picking up my
sowrd), by having the floor above drop on the head. But I have never even
touched a head with my sword in any other area of the game. They just
kill me. I've read through the walk-through posted on my local bulletin
board and it makes no mention of the heads. I suspect I'm missing
something really easy, but I give up. Any help?

thanks

It does get kinda easy after awhile. The heads fly at you in a fairly
specific and predictable pattern. For the first little while I was
also stumped with those guys but practice, sure enough, made perfect.
Try to just stand there and let them kill you a couple times to try
to figure out the pattern. You have to time it so that you start your sword
swing just as they are beginning their attack 'swoop'. After a couple
hits, they may shy away and back off. I've always found that it is
safer to simply stand and wait for them to recuperate and come back at
you instead of going in for the kill. Patience and practice WILL make
perfect for all aspects of that game, let me assure you.

Good Luck!
