Equipping Amulets in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is one of the main ways you can tweak Sargon's playstyle to reflect your own. Do you enjoy parrying? Then perhaps equip the Amulets that restore health, Athra, and create a time-bubble when you do so. Want more of a ranged playstyle? Equip the Amulets that increase bow damage and give your Chakram a shockwave. It's a pretty simple system, but slotting Amulets provides powerful buffs.
For anyone who's played other metroidvanias like Hollow Knight, the system is basically identical to how Charms worked there. Each Amulet costs a number of slots, meaning you can only have so many active at once. The key difference with Prince of Persia, though, is that you can upgrade your Amulets at Kaheva's Forge, increasing the buff's potency. Here are all of the Amulets I've found so far in Mount Qaf, plus each of their effects.
