While the main focus ofPrince Of Persia: The Lost Crownmight be on the main story, you can still encounter some side quests as you explore Mount Qaf. Some of these quests require you to go to various regions and get specific collectibles, while the others can be finished in one region itself.

One of these side quests is called The Deserter, and you can find it as soon as you enter the Hyrcanian Forest. Keep in mind that you’ll have to fight the Undead Prisoner boss just before entering this area.

Where To Find The Deserter Quest

To find The Deserter quest, you’ll have to progress on the main map of Mount Qaf quite a bit and reach The Haven area. From this area, you can exit from the bottom-right side andkeep going in the right direction until you find an NPC called Nojan. After that, you’ll have to solve a wheel puzzle to get to the next room.

In the next room, you’llbattle the Undead Prisoner bossand finally enter the Hyrcanian Forest. In this forest, you have to shoot some flowers to make temporary leaves, and you’ll also soon enter aroom where you’ll see three pillars that you can jump on.

Use the flower and the temporaryleaves to get on top of these pillarsand keep going to the right.

You’ll find the soldier who gives you this quest in asecluded area that you have to slide past.

Where To Find The Cannonball

Once you get the quest from the soldier, head back out of the area andstart going towards the path just below his location. As you’re moving to the right side, you’ll eventually find a drop-down with another temporary platform flower in the way. Go down here and go to the left a bit to find a hanging soldier.

You have to get up using the temporary platforms anduse your sword on the soldier to get him to the ground. As soon as you do that, the cannonball will spawn beside him and you can deliver it back to the deserted soldier. Once the quest is over, you can find the quest giver near the body of the other soldier.

You’ll also get a Soma Tree Petal at the end of this quest. Collectfour of these to get an extra health bar.
