THE TIMEKEEPER

1 PHASES 22 VIEWSUPDATED APR 25, 2026VERY HARD

The Timekeeper is the calm and controlled final boss who commands a variety of devastating attacks including dual lasers, electrified ground, and teleportation abilities. Found in Upper Dominion, Dominion. He appears as the imposing figure from the holograms throughout the game, wielding triangle-based geometry attacks and flashbang disorientation tactics. This mastermind boss requires careful positioning and timing to overcome his multi-layered assault patterns.

PRO TIP

Stay mobile during his teleport attacks. The triangle markers on the ground show you exactly where to position yourself for safety.

Phase 1: The Final Confrontation (Blue Shield — use Shock)

  1. STEP 01

    Equip Shock Weapons and Break His Shield

    Switch to Shock weapons before engaging. His Blue Shield health bar is extremely weak to Shock damage — you'll break through his defenses 3x faster than with non-elemental weapons. Keep firing until the shield breaks completely.

  2. STEP 02

    Handle the Dual Laser Attack

    The dual lasers fire horizontally from his back and track toward your position. Crouch or slide the moment you see them charging — they pass directly over you at standing height. Never try to strafe sideways — they track too well.

  3. STEP 03

    Survive the Flashbang and Counter-Attack

    Look away or down at the ground the moment you see him wind up the flashbang — usually preceded by him raising his right hand. If you're looking directly at him when it triggers, you'll be blinded for 4 seconds. Use this window to reload or reposition.

  4. STEP 04

    Deal With Geometry and Teleport Attacks

    For the laser pyramid, wait for the opening and dash through it — never try to tank the damage. When he electrifies the ground, double-jump or use any mobility skill to get airborne until it stops. During teleport attacks, sprint directly through the triangle markers on the ground — they're safe zones that prevent teleport damage.

WATCH OUT

Most players die by standing still during the electrified ground attack. Get airborne immediately when you see electricity spreading across the floor.
