Amulets are an integral part of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, as they give the player various passive buffs and powers. The player cannot, however, equip all of the Amulets that they find, thanks to the Slot mechanic the game has. As such, which Amulets should a player equip, and which ones should they ignore? In this guide, we will go through a tier list of all of the Amulets that players can find in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown.
There are a total of 38 amulets in the game, each with its own effects. The effects range from defensive buffs to offensive attacks. As such, players may have a hard time deciding which ones to use with their limited Amulet slots. Hopefully, with this tier list, we will be able to help you decide which Amulets to prioritize equipping in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown.

S-Tier: Amulets that have very strong effects and can mean the difference between life and death
- Blade Dancer: The fourth attack from the extended combo allows the player to increase their overall damage output. It does take some getting used to, but having that fourth attack can whittle down the enemy's HP a little faster.
- Blessing: Although the HP increase from Blessing can only be healed at Wak-Wak trees, it's still additional HP, which makes it very useful. This is especially true in the early game, where an extra HP bar means the world. Not only that but it only takes up one slot, which makes it worth it to equip.
- Dragon King: This is one of the game's few “Oops” amulets, in that it allows the player to keep going when they mess up. There are times when players will die from strong attacks, even if they still have potions. The Dragon King Amulet allows players to recover from said strong attacks and heal up to try and continue the fight.
- Gleaming Lion: Parrying is an important part of the game, and so are the Athra Surges. The player even learns early on that Parrying attacks charge up their Athra bar faster. The Gleaming Lion Amulet makes it go even faster, allowing players to use their Athra Surges multiple times in a fight, more so than normal.
- Prosperity Bird: Thanks to its ability to find treasure chests and hidden items, the Prosperity Bird is a must for completionists. Not only that, but the Amulet itself costs 0 slots to equip. This makes it one of the best Amulets in the game. Sadly, it's only available in the game's Deluxe Edition.
- Rukhsana's Gift: Much like the Gleaming Lion, this Amulet incentivizes parrying, as it heals the player with each successful parry. This gives the player a source of healing outside of their limited potion supply.
A-Tier: Amulets that have good effects, and can be equipped at the player's discretion. Has a downside that prevents it from becoming a perfect artifact.

- Arash' Arrowhead: Increasing the damage of arrows is a decent effect for an Amulet, especially when dealing with enemies that are weak to them. This is also a good Amulet as it only takes up one slot. The downside is that it's expensive to upgrade it to full, and it's basically a useless Amulet once you run out of arrows.
- Arslan's Glory: While the increase in melee attack power is tempting, the fact that players have to be in full health to use it removes some of its charm. This Amulet would be good for players who have perfected Parrying and Dodging, but it will not see use with players who constantly get hit.
- Blazing Kestrel: The flaming arrows that the player can shoot with this Amulet do help in increasing their overall damage, especially if the player can hit all of their arrows. The downside is that once you run out of arrows, or if you miss your shots, then this Amulet is useless.
- Elusive Water: The ability to dodge enemy attacks is always a good thing, especially if it's partnered with damage. The downside of this Amulet, however, is that the player has to time their dodges well, or risk taking damage. If the player can't dodge well, then this Amulet will not be able to shine.
- Indomitable Spirit: Similar to Arslan's Glory, the damage increase from this Amulet is very good and tempting, especially when upgraded to full. The problem is that players will constantly have to be in low health for this Amulet to take effect. One wrong move can lead to death, and so only use this Amulet when you are confident with your parrying and dodging skills.
- Mount Damavand: This is one of the few damage-reduction Amulets in the game, and is certainly helpful once upgraded. However, if you don't plan on getting hit anyway, thanks to the dodge and parry mechanic, then it's better to just equip something else.
- Shield of Mithra: The slowing time bubble that this Amulet creates on parry is a great effect and is very good for when you want to slow enemies down. The biggest downside of the amulet, however, is its very steep upgrade price, costing a total of 2,000 Crystals to upgrade to full.
- Turning Wind: Dodging attacks are a great way to keep your DPS up, especially against enemies that might prove difficult to parry. However, unless the player actively does dodge attacks, then they will likely not feel the effects of this Amulet.
- Verethregna's Wrath: Increasing the damage an Athra Surge does sound great on paper. However, since you will likely be using your swords more often than the Athra Surge itself, it might be better to just empower your sword's attacks instead.
- Will of Rostam: As mentioned above, empowering your standard sword attacks may give you more bang for your buck when it comes to Amulets. However, thanks to its higher-than-usual price for upgrading, it might be better to use a different Amulet instead.
B-Tier: Amulets that are very situational, and can be equipped when needed. Otherwise, use something else.
- Agony: Although making defeated enemies explode sounds fun, this Amulet isn't all that useful against single enemies or bosses. They could be good when fighting hordes of enemies, but that's it.
- Ard's Fortune: Crystals are always good to have, as they are needed when it comes to upgrading equipment and buying items. However, if you are fighting a boss, you might as well just bring a different one-cost Amulet to increase your damage or survivability. Equip this Amulet when you're farming for Crystals, and unequip itn otherwise.
- Blazing Kestrel: The flaming arrows that the player can shoot with this Amulet do help in increasing their overall damage, especially if the player can hit all of their arrows. The downside is that once you run out of arrows, or if you miss your shots, then this Amulet is useless.
- Divine Spear: Shooting lasers is always a good thing, but this Amulet requires it to be used in conjunction with the Shadow Teleport power. While it does have some uses, like with Boss fights, its two Slot cost may be better used somewhere else.
- Four Royal Stars: Situational melee attack damage buffs are sometimes good. However, since this requires the player to be in the air for the melee buff to happen, it's not as good. This limits the attacks that the player will have access to if they want to experience the melee buff.
- Frost Charm: The Frost Effect can get irritating, and it's fine to use this charm then. However, outside of areas that can apply the Frost Effect, it's a useless Amulet.
- Hardiness: Although slightly better than the Frost Charm in that it applies to all environmental damage like spikes and the like, its 3 Slot cost is not a good deal. Plus, it's easy to negate all environmental damage by just avoiding them.
- Holy Fire: This is the same as the Frost Charm but for Burn Effect instead.
- Horned Viper: This is the same as the Frost Charm and the Holy Fire but with Poison instead.
- King Jamshid: This is a downgraded version of the Prosperity Bird, as it costs a slot to equip, and can only look for chests. It's useless outside of exploration, so only equip this when you're looking for chests to open.
- Shockwave: Similar to the Divine Spear Amulet, this Amulet is good if you want to deal damage with the Shadow Teleport power. Outside of that, however, it might not be a good Amulet to use.
- Thunder Charm: This is the same as the Frost Charm, Holy Fire, and Horned Viper Amulets, but with the Shock Effect instead. Granted, being able to break out of the Shock Effect is important as it cripples your Athra Gauge. However, it might be better to just use other Amulets and dodge the cause of the Shock Effect instead.
- Void Blade: The energy wave that this Amulet causes does give you a burst of damage at the start of your combo. However, the charge time in between energy waves may be a problem, and the cost to upgrade the Amulet itself is pretty high as well.
- Wolf-Bride: Gaining Athra Gauge from getting damaged may sound good, but it's better to just parry attacks instead of getting damaged by them.
C-Tier: Useful a few times in the game, and not really anytime else.
- Chakram Tempest: The Chakram is a cool weapon in the game, and can hit a lot of enemies. However, as the Chakram is constantly moving anyway, timing the Area damage may prove difficult. The effect does not justify its two-slot cost.
- Ectabana Seal: Just walk over to the Crystals.
- Evil-Eye: This Amulet turns your character into a Glass Cannon, which is good for challenge runs, but not anytime else.
- Eye of Destiny: The only health bars that matter are yours and the bosses.
- Starving Heart: While this is good for players who constantly get hit, the decrease in melee damage outweighs the benefits this Amulet gives.
- White Peacock: Situations that require the player to shoot multiple arrows at once are few and far between. Use it when necessary, but don't keep it equipped.
