The Timekeeper's Order Walkthrough

Reach the Main Tower

# Walkthrough
1
Tower Elevator
Begin ascending the tower by jumping onto the gravity lift in the center of the room, which will carry you upward.
2
Poison Trap
At the top of the lift, you’ll find yourself in a gondola that will soon trap you and fill with poison gas. Simply shoot or melee the glass to break out easily.
3
Open the Vent
Open the vent in the room you fell into with your Grappling Hook and proceed through it.
4
Climb Up Vent Room
Get to the highest point of the vent room by mantling and climbing up the platforms.
5
Upper Dominon Platform Path
Follow the platforms using the arrows marked on the walls. The path is simple, but be careful not to fall to your death when jumping and gliding across each platform.
6
Grappling Hook Spot
On the last platform, look up and use the grappling hook spot to go further.
7
Broken Glass Roof
Once outside, the glass floor in the plaza will eventually break, letting you drop down and continue toward the tower.

Fight Through Enemy Forces

# Walkthrough
1
Kill Vile and Order Enemies
Follow the path until you have to eliminate a swarm of Vile and Order enemies. Once clear, the side door will open for you to proceed through. Fight through more enemies until you reach the final room before the main tower.
2
Grappling Hook on the Pyramid Platform
Use the grapple hook to reach the pyramid-shaped platforms. Once you land on them, they will flatten into surfaces you can stand on, allowing you to jump to the next platforms.
3
Menacer Fight
Before the main entrance, a few Menacers will show up as the last line of defense. Defeat them and the grunts to continue on.
4
Open the Tower Door
Interact with the three triangles to fully unlock the door.
5
Ascend Elevator
Once inside, head up the jet stream to ascend up to the Timekeeper's boss arena.

Defeat the Timekeeper

# Walkthrough
1
Timekeeper First Phase
Phase 1:
The Timekeeper's first phase is easier to defeat. He will have three healthbars of Energy, Armor, and Red HP to destroy before he goes into the second phase. Be sure to dodge his beams by crouching and his aerial strikes with dashing.
▶ How to Beat the Timekeeper
2
Primordial Guardian Timekeeper Second Phase
Phase 2:
Like in the first phase, he will have Energy, Armor, and Red HP bars to target. In this phase, he uses more AoE ground attacks, which you can avoid by grappling onto the pyramid-shaped constructs.
▶ How to Beat Primordial Guardian Timekeeper
3
Defeated Timekeeper
Interact with the defeated Timekeeper on the ground to save Kairos and finish the mission.
