Obtained in	Great Clock

The Chronoscepter is a powerful Zoni scepter wielded by Clank in A Crack in Time. It is the tool used by Senior Caretakers of the Great Clock. Its known powers include the ability to reverse time on targets and repair objects or reverse projectiles, to fix time anomalies on planets, and to create Time Bombs. It can also be used as a simple melee weapon.

History

The Chronoscepter given to Clank by Sigmund, reserved for the Clock's caretaker, was over a hundred million years old. During "Unlock Clank's Memory Banks", a simulation of Orvus in Clank's subconscious taught Clank to use it to create Time Bombs and repair objects. In "Destroy the Hypersonic Brainwave Scrambler", Clank later used it to protect the Great Clock from the Hypersonic Brainwave Scrambler, and in several planet rooms, he repaired temporal rifts.

After Clank decided to stay with Ratchet rather than remain at the Great Clock, he gave his Chronoscepter to Sigmund.

Use

Clank obtaining the Chronoscepter.

The Chronoscepter is swung by pressing as Clank. Pressing the button allows Clank to swing the Chronoscepter at the nearest target. Against enemies, this will simply attack them as a normal melee weapon would. The third hit in a combo will create a small shockwave, as does attempting to use it in mid-air. When swung against projectiles aimed at Clank, the projectile will reverse and hit the enemy they came from. This is the only way Clank can hit targets from a distance.

The Chronoscepter's other abilities are all used when interacting with objects, aside from Time Bombs which are thrown using or .

Swinging the Chronoscepter on broken objects, such as broken pipes or shattered glass, will reverse time on them and repair the damage done to the object. This will reward Clank in bolts in the same way that destroying an object as Ratchet would.

The Chronoscepter is also the main tool used in the time fixing mini-game.
