The Clock Tower


1. If you're in the main hallway and you have both the Clock T. Keys, grab the Mine Thrower from the dead soldier and the First Aid Spray from the table. If you've saved a lot of heals up to this point, you might wan't to leave the Spray for Carlos, since he won't get more than three heals during his entire journey.

2. Head upstairs and get ready to knock off the Spiders that lurk above. The mini Spider babies don't hurt you, but they do induce a stutter and open you for a potential attack from another lingering Spider. Once it's clear, head through the door and go all the way back to the end of the ledge. Here you'll find some Red Herb x2 .

3. Use the Clock T. Key on the tile below the face of the clock and a ladder will lower down, granting you access to the third floor. Climb the ladder and enter the room to find a horde of goodies including Ink Ribbon x3 , the Silver Gear and a box of M.T. Rounds . If you use the Silver Gear on the space in the wall, you'll see that it doesn't work. Damn...it's broken. You'll deal with this later.

4. Head over to the large music box against the wall. Activate it, and you'll hear a smooth and relaxing musical masterpiece. Unfortunately, this puzzle is random, thus preventing me from giving you an easy solution. On the bright side, this puzzle is fairly easy and should give you little or no trouble so long as you're not tone deaf. You should have no problem picking out the bad tones and replacing them will the good ones (the object is to put the entire sequence in key). When you do, you'll get the Chronos Chain . combine the Chronos Chain will the remaining Clock T. Key to make the Chronos Key .

5. Throw most of your stuff into the toy box and make a save at the nearby typewriter. Grab a few heals and load up on ammo, 'cause it's time to fight the Nemesis again. Woohoo! When you climb down the ladder and try to exit down the stairs, he'll pop through the door mutteing his favorite phrase yet again. You'll have to make a choice quickly, or yu'll be forced to fight him up on the ledge (which isn't very fun).

MAKE A CHOICE
Use the Light Use the Cord
When you use the light, the Nemesis will be tempporily blinded, allowing Jill to push him over the ledge. With this choice, you'll miss out on a valuable item (the First Aid Pak x3 ), but you won't have to waste any ammo trying to kill him. It is the easy way out, and I recomment it for first time players. If you use the cord, you'll pump him full of juice and he'll drop the First Aid Pak x3 . When you leave the room, you'll fight him oncemore, so have some heave weaponry ready. You can try to get down the stairs to safety, but he'll usually pop you down before you make it that far.


6. Head back down the steps and into the library area with the green door. Use the Chronos Key (note that I say the Chronos Key, not the Chronos Chain) on the door to unlock it. Three Spiders await, ############################################################### rounds that Carlos has been giving you. Flame and Acid rounds work well. When it's clear, search the body for some Grenade Rounds x6 and head throught the next door.

7. Run over to the three statues along the wall and grab the Obsidian Ball , Crystal Ball and Amber Ball . You'll need to arrange these in a cerain order within the small trays next to the paintings on the wall. The idea is to get the center clock to read 12:00. Another random puzzle, this one can be a realpain if you're just trying to randomly guess the placement of each ball. The help you with that, here's a chart of how much each ball progresses the time either forward or backward (below).

PUZZLE!
Item Past Goddess Present Goddess Future Goddess
Amber Ball -3 hours +2 hours +6 hours
Obsidian Ball -2 hours +2 hours +4 hours
Crystal Ball - 1 hour +1 hour +2 hours


8. Grab the Gold Gear and head for the top of the clock tower once more. Access your toy box and combine the two gears to make the Chronos Gear . Next, place them into the gearbox. The Clock Tower bell will ring, and you should make your way down the ladder to watch the brief CG cinema.

9. After the movie, you'll have to fight the Nemesis out in the courtyard. Freeze Rounds will put him down for the court rather quickly; so remember to make a few before you enter this sequence. Begin the mission with Carlos here.
