Prince of Persia The Lost Crown Prophecy of Mount Qaf tasks you with tracking down spirited sand jarlocations in the nooks and crannies of the towering citadel. There are 30 sand jars to find in total. For every one you find, you can return to the mural in the Lower City to get a variety of rewards. For every five, you’ll be rewarded with items like Soma Petals or weapon upgrade resources.

Here, we’ll share the location of all the Prince of Persia The Lost Crown sand jar locations, which we tracked down during our review. If you’re eyeing up other side quests, check out all the Lost Warriors locations and Moon Gatherer locations in Mount Qaf.
