Great Clock, Sector Three

[ ] Follow Sigmund to the Orientation Room.

After the cutscene, follow Sigmund. Use your Boost ability to jump over the gaps, and then throw a time bomb to slow the wheel down. Jump on to the wheel and make your way to the next platform, and then turn right and go through the doorway. Once the next doorway opens, follow Sigmund to your first time puzzle in this sector.

Start recording on the blue pad, stand on the left button and stop recording. Then, start recording on the yellow pad, stand on the right button and stop recording. Finally, start recording on the green pad and go through the open door to complete the puzzle. You'll get 450 bolts. Follow Sigmund in to the Orientation room and watch the cutscene.

[X] Follow Sigmund to the Orientation Room.
[ ] Meet Orvus in Clank's Subconscious.

After the cutscene, enter the Mnemonic Station and press Triangle to meet up with Orvus.

[X] Meet Orvus in Clank's Subconscious.
[ ] Learn how to Repair Time.

[SP] Follow Orvus across the 3 floating platforms using your Boost ability. Once you're at the first station, stand on the icon and press Triangle. You'll be told hold to repair time anomalies. Use the Left Analog Stick to rotate the planet the Right Analog Stick to aim, and press R1 to fire. Fire at yellow, orange and red time anomalies, but not at blue ones, as they will break again, wasting time.

There are arrows on the screen showing you what direction time anomalies that you can't see are in. You've only got a minute, but it's really quick and simple so you shouldn't run out of time. After you're done, you'll be told about time anomalies that need more attention. Once Clank's in control, go for the red and orange anomalies before going for the others.

Again, you've only got a minute, but you won't need that long. After you're done, you'll get a third tutorial on Seekers. These things can re-break fixed anomalies. Destroy them at all costs. Once you're in control, destroy Seekers, and then red and orange anomalies, and then yellow anomalies. Once you're done, you'll get 300 bolts. Continue to follow Orvus.

Ascend the 3 floating platforms and use a time bomb to slow the wheel down, and then jump on to it. From there jump on to the next station. Here, you'll learn how to deflect projectiles with your Chronoscepter. When the turret fires at you, hit the bullet with your Chronoscepter to turn the turret upside down, disabling it. Jump on to the base of the aforementioned turret and deflect the next bullet. Repeat this for the next turret, and then move on to the next station.

A miniature Qwark will appear. He'll shoot at you, so deflect the bullet. More Qwarks will appear, and they'll fire at you one at a time. Deflect each bullet as it comes at you, no need to move or dodge anything. Even more Qwarks will appear after you've taken care of the existing ones, and they will also fire at you one at a time. Deflect all the bullets, and then follow Orvus over the 2 floating platforms. Deflect the bullet from the turret, and then hop on to it's base and go to the last station.

[X] Learn how to Repair Time.
[ ] Fix Time across The Universe!

[SP] After the cutscene, you'll be back in The Great Clock. Follow Sigmund through the doorway and jump over the gaps between the platforms, and then deflect the spit from the 2 floating enemies. Keep moving forwards after they're dead and go up to Planet Quantos. Stand on the icon and press Triangle to start fixing time on this planet.

There are 3 waves, each more hectic than the last. Just keep firing and aim at everything that isn't blue. Rotating the planet is faster than aiming the Chronoscepter, to you'll be using the Left Analog Stick more than the Right Analog Stick. Seekers, red and orange time anomalies are priority, so go for them first.

After you've completed all 3 waves, you'll get 400 bolts. Boost jump on to the floating gear platform, and then boost jump to the next time puzzle. First, start recording on the blue pad, step on the first button and stop recording. Then, start recording on the green pad, go to the pad in the left chamber and stop recording. Start recording on the yellow pad and step on the button in the right chamber, wait 5 seconds, and then step off and stop recording.

Go back to the blue pad and start recording. Step on the first button and wait until the green Clank is in, and then run over to the elevator lowered by the yellow Clank. Get on, and once it goes up, jump over the gap and on to the button, and then stop recording. Now go back to the yellow pad and start recording. Step on the button in the right chamber to lower the elevator for the blue Clank, and then once he gets on, step off and run for the door. Once it opens, go through and you'll collect 600 bolts.

Now that you're outside, you'll see a whole bunch of wheels in front of you. Make your way across them until you get to a really fast one. Throw a time bomb at it, and then stand on it, jump towards the next really fast wheel and throw another time bomb to slow it down, and land on it. Continue in this fashion, throwing a time bomb at each fast wheel before you land on it, and you'll eventually reach a platform.

Continue to the left and kill the 3 enemies here, and then turn right and deflect the 2 enemies' spit to kill them. Begin to fix time on Torren IV. Here, you'll learn about the Energise Power Up. If you see it, get it, unless there are higher priority targets in the vicinity.

As you did before, simply keep shooting and rotate the planet so that you're hitting everything that's not blue. Only stop shooting if you're going to hit a blue time anomaly. Hit all the smaller circular targets, they'll help you out a lot. Complete the 3 waves to get 600 bolts, and then make your way to the floating platform behind the planet.

Deflect the turret's bullet, and then jump and boost on to his base, and from there jump and boost on to the main platform. Make your way up the path and kill the 2 enemies, and then deflect the flying enemy's spit twice to kill him. Make your way over to the next time puzzle.

Start recording on the blue time pad, stand on the button and stop recording. Start recording on the green pad, and then jump and boost to the first moving platform when it appears. You'll have to anticipate where the platforms are going to be when you jump and boost towards them. You won't have much room for error, as even with 3 boosts you'll only just make it. Remember to fly at where the platforms are going to be when you land on them rather than where they are initially.

Once you reach the bottom, you'll get 400 bolts. Meet up with Sigmund and go through the door. Kill the 6 enemies on the ground, and then deflect the flying enemy's spit twice to kill him. Go through the door when it opens, and you'll encounter yet another time puzzle.

Start recording on the blue pad, wait for about 6 or 7 seconds, and then step on the nearby button and stop recording. Start recording on the green pad and run up to the elevator up the back that the blue Clank will activate. Get on, and once it goes up, step on the button with a wall behind it, and then step off it about 2 seconds later and stop recording.

Start recording on the yellow pad. Wait for the elevator closest to the front to come down, and when it does come down, get on. When it goes back up, jump and boost over to the platform and step on the left button for the door. Stop recording.

Start recording on the blue pad again. Step on the button on the front, and then go and wait with the yellow Clank. Get on the elevator with him, and follow him across to the higher platform, but step on the right button for the door instead of the left and stop recording.

Start recording on the green pad. Run to the elevator as usual, and then when it goes up, run to the button with the wall behind it. Once the 2 past selves are on, get off the button and run for the door. Throw a time bomb at the 2 enemies and kill them, and then when the door opens, go through to get 700 bolts.

[SP] Kill the 2 enemies on the ground in the next room, and then deflect the spit from the flying enemy twice to kill it. A lot more enemies will and then spawn, so take care of the ground enemies first, and then the flying ones. Once the door opens, walk forwards and then to the left.

Jump on to the first floating platform, and then jump and boost to the higher floating platform. Spread your boosts out, but don't spread them so thin that you aren't able to do the second or third one. As before, anticipate where the next platform is going to be. Repeat this for the next moving platform, and then jump to the bigger platform.

Go forwards and throw a time bomb at the wheel. Jump on the wheel and then to the next small platform. Stand back, as the turret will fire at the explosive crates. Once they explode, deflect the turret's bullet, and then make your way across to the last planet, Planet Terachnos.

There will be enemies waiting here. As before, kill all the ground enemies first, and then focus on the flying ones. Try to keep just one in view at a time and let the planet block the shots of the other ones. Once all the enemies are dead, proceed to fix time on planet Terachnos.

You'll be told about the Slow Time Power Up. Get it if you can, as it'll make things a lot easier. Nonetheless, once you start, simply go about it the way you did before, rotating the planet and shooting at everything that isn't blue. Again, red and orange time anomalies, as well as Seekers, are priority. Make the most of your powerups by using them on everything you can see, regardless of its priority level. Once you complete all 3 waves you'll get 800 bolts.

[X] Fix Time across The Universe!
[ ] Return to Sigmund.

Use the floating platforms behind the planet to make your way down to the bottom platform. They don't move, unlike the ones before, so it's nothing you haven't done before. Go in to the office, and after the cutscenes, you'll be in the Korthos Sector!
