Tower of Time

Power Seals: 3

The Tower of Time introduces laser beams that you’ll need to avoid. There’s also Pink Crystals that remove barriers when hit for a short time and Blue Crystals that teleport you from one place to another.

Avoid the first lasers by running under one of the moving platforms, then hit the Pink Crystals on the next screen to turn off the lasers so you can get through. Use the ring to grapple over the horizontal laser.

Hit the Blue Crystal to be teleported over to the first shop.

Checkpoint #1 (Shop)

Enter the shop for more story related dialogue then climb up to the next screen. Use the moving platform to make your way across to the left. The platform will block the lasers as it moves.

Hit the Pink Crystal and quickly make your way over to the left before the laser turns back on. The path forward is up but the first Power Seal can be found by taking the lower exit.

Break the lower block and take the exit to the left. Climb up and use the Blue Crystals to make your way across the gaps to the left.

Use the ring to grapple across to the left. Jump up the Lanterns, then grapple across to the Blue Crystal. Quickly hit it and you’ll be teleported inside the box with Power Seal #8.

Use the Blue Crystals to make your way back the way you came then take the exit leading up. Make your way past the crusher to the right.

Checkpoint #2

Use the bouncy pads and Pink Crystals to make your way past the laser and head up. Once again hit the Pink Crystal and ride one of the platforms over to the left. You should have plenty of time.

On the next screen you’ll need to use the Blue Crystal to teleport to the left side while avoiding the Wizards. On the screen to the left you’ll find the next checkpoint.

Checkpoint #3

Climb up and use the platforms to avoid the lasers. Drop down on the left side and use the Blue Crystal to teleport above. On the next screen you’ll find a laser timing puzzle. Hit the Pink Crystals and make it through the lasers before they turn back on while avoiding the spikes. It may take a bit of practice.

Drop down and break the blocks. Hit the Pink Crystal and race the pink orb to the exit. Glide up and use the Blue Crystal to teleport above, then glide down with the block to avoid the lasers.

The path forwards leads back up the other side but we’ll stop for a Power Seal. Avoid the crusher and take the exit to the right.

Use the wheels to cloud step up past the three pink blades. Then use the Blue Crystals to teleport over to Power Seal #9. Glide back down and go back to the left.

Climb up in time with the block to avoid the lasers. Take the exit above to the next checkpoint.

Checkpoint #4

Climb up to the room above and use the grapple to dash across the ropes. In the next room glide around the spikes and drop down.

Glide down to the Blue Crystal and use it to be teleported to the left side, then take the exit to the left. Climb up the horizontal bars. The way forwards is to the right but we’ll take a detour for a Power Seal.

Jump over to the left and use the Blue Crystal. Glide down to the rotating platforms and use the Lantern in the center to avoid the pink orbs. When the gap opens rope dart across to the left and climb up for Power Seal #10.

Use the ring to grapple back across to the Blue Crystal and continue to the right. Head up for the next checkpoint.

Checkpoint #5

Make your way to the right and use the Blue and Pink Crystals to open the path to the exit above. Head up and use the swinging platform (just stand on it) to avoid the lasers.

To the left you’ll need to avoid the 3 Wizards and make your way to the left.

Climb up and then over to the right for another easy Blue Crystal puzzle. Just teleport from one to the other until you reach the exit.

Checkpoint #6

Continue to the right and make your way up the platforms before the lasers destroy them. Up the top you’ll find the final Shop before the boss fight.

Arcane Golem Boss Fight

The Arcane Golem is a slow and not too difficult boss fight. You’ll need to hit its head and you can do this by riding on the hands. You’ll only be able to get in a few hits before it claps you away.

The Arcane Golem has a few different moves but none are too difficult to avoid. Once you hit the head a few times and the hands clap together try to glide down to land on the hands again. This can often set you up for another attack.

Once the Golem has been defeated you’ll need to take a leap of faith. This will take you to the future and the 8-bit graphics will transform into 16-bit.
