How to get more Spirit Glimmers in The Rogue Prince of Persia
HIGHLIGHTS:
- You'll get most of your Spirit Glimmers by defeating enemies
- Spirit Glimmers need to be banked mid-run in order to use them back at Oasis
- They can then be used to purchase new weapons, tools, and medallions
Spirit Glimmers are one of the key resources that you'll find in The Rogue Prince of Persia - but figuring out how to get more and safely send them back to Oasis can be a chore.
Spending these wisely can net you some fantastic new weapons and tools, but you'll need to save up a fair amount to get started as even the introductory options in-game will set you back.
How to get more Spirit Glimmers
Spirit Glimmers can be earned by defeating enemies or by picking up drops found throughout any of the locations. Not every enemy you kill will get you Spirit Glimmers, but you'll find your total building quite quickly as you move through each area.

From my experience it seems like there's only one brazier per area, and they are easily missed if you don't take the correct path - so make sure to always keep your eyes peeled.

Where to spend Spirit Glimmers
You'll be able to spend Spirit Glimmers at Sukhra's blacksmith shop and Paachi's medallion shop. Using both of these effectively will allow you to increase your chances of survival, and hopefully let you reach the next area with ease!

I made the mistake of thinking a new weapon I'd bought would be instantly equipped, but it's still definitely worth doing nonetheless.
