When you start the game, you will notice you have 3 full tanks, and one empty. After finding the hidden Zen rooms and collecting all the sand clouds and retreiving all the sand from the creatures through out the game, you will finish with 10 full sand tanks.


I forget how many clouds there are, but everytime you collect one, it takes you another step further to a new sand tank. Sand tanks are needed to perform the special abilities of the dagger, slow motion, mega freeze, etc.

The "moons", or Power Tanks, are slowly created each time the Prince absorbs a monster into the dagger. There can never be more Power Tanks then Sand Tanks. With a full Power Tank, the Prince can freeze or slow time. When the Dagger has the same amount of full Power Tanks as Sand Tanks, the Prince can do the "mega-freeze". This happens for the first time around "Climbing the Tower", although the first time I played I couldn't do it until the battle in the warehouse.

By the way, isn't it cool that as the Prince is "Climbing the Tower", the Tower of Dawn, the place he's trying to get to, is right next door? More frustrating than cool, I guess. Having the goal just out of reach is a common theme in the game. Next time, the Prince should bring a grappling hook!
