I was just wondering if it is possible to complete original PoP if you don't have a sword to fight. Let's assume the "Prince has sword" is "N" in the Apoplexy editor using F2. It turns out to be that there are just 5 places where the Kid can't get through the guards. You will be have to be in cheat mode to kill the guard so you can get through.
These are the 5 places in original PoP where you can't get past the guard:
Level 2 - Room 15: You cannot jump through the guard, nor can silently walk through him, because he is already facing you. If he was facing the other direction, it was possible to bypass him.

Level 7 - Room 10: There's a drop tile gate, so even if you make the guard turn, while climbing, he will face back and hit you. If the drop tile wasn't there, it could have been possible to bypass him properly.

Level 8 - Room 5: I think it's possible to bypass him, but I couldn't do it properly. I tried various distances but it didn't work. Maybe SuavePrince can show us how to bypass without a sword!
. Because, I play like this when I have a sword, but if you don't have the sword, the guard has enough time to hit you before you run. So, SuavePrince, please help!

Level 11 - Room 22: This guard, even though he's facing the opposite direction, there are loose tiles which we have to fall which create noise, so we can't bypass him again...

Level 11 - Room 16: This one is problematic as we don't have any way to bypass him. If he was facing the other direction, we could have tiptoed around and pass him.

I was thinking that only Level 2 is where you need to fight a guard, but there are 4 more places.
And at Level 10, where you really need combat with yellow guard in Room 5, as you have to press the open gate which is located in Room 11, above Room 5, you can do a lot of tricks to bypass him. I initially thought, you won't be able to pass him, but seems you can bypass him!
If anyone is not understanding how to bypass a certain guard in certain level in original PoP, please ask me, I'll make video and post here.
Thanks!
