Tour the Great Clock with Sigmund and Travel with Sigmund to meet Orvus are missions in A Crack in Time, taking place in Sector Two of the Great Clock. Sigmund repaired Clank after Dr. Nefarious and his army left the Great Clock, leaving Sigmund able to guide Clank through the Clock. Though the Nefarious Troopers had left, the Hypersonic Brainwave Scrambler remained.
Walkthrough[]
Follow Sigmund until you reach the first puzzle room, Paradox Substation 1, where Sigmund will explain the use of Time Pads and temporal recordings. Copy Sigmund's actions by first using one Time Pad to step on the button, then stop that recording and use the other Pad to walk through the door. The Time Pad commands also will let you delete one or all recordings, ask for hints, and even skip the puzzles if you have already completed them before. Completing a puzzle for the first time also grants bolts.
Copy Sigmund's actions again for the second puzzle, which introduces the concept of re-recording. Stand on the button with one Clank, then stand on the second button with a second Clank, which became accessible because of the first. Re-record your first Clank and stand on the first button again to allow the second Clank to reach the second button, after which you can simply exit the room.
Use the Meteor Pad to reach Mnemonic Station Beta, where you can enter Clank's subconscious. This completes "Travel with Sigmund to meet Orvus" and starts "Unlock Clank's Memory Banks", after which you will return to the Station again and can pick up the Chronoscepter. Exit the chamber to encounter a group of teratropes, which are more of an inconvenience than a threat solely because they will attack temporal recordings.
Paradox Substation 2 is the next puzzle room, which introduces the use of Time Bombs in a puzzle, as well as hostile entities. Use one Time Pad and slow the second wheel, then beat the teratropes and stand on the button and end the recording. Use the second Time Pad and follow your first recording, without throwing a second Time Bomb as that would remove the first and potentially cause that recording to fail. Pass through the door and climb up the wheels to reach a fourth puzzle.
Stand on the nearby button with one recording, then step off after a few seconds. With your second recording, you only need to stand on the elevator platform when it is lowered thanks to the button, then wait for your first recording to step off, which causes the elevator to rise again.
Go through the next door to enter Paradox Substation 3. Use one recording to stand on the button after pausing for a few seconds, which causes the nearby platform to go up. Use the second Time Pad and stand on the platform, then move past the wheel to stand on the button to open the exit. Re-record your first Clank, repeating its actions with the button to allow the second to reach his own button, then move towards the exit.
This marks the end of the puzzles in Sector Two. Move forward to run into the Hypersonic Brainwave Scrambler again, blocking your path, and starting the mission "Destroy the Hypersonic Brainwave Scrambler".
