Grim Legends 3: The Dark City — Bonus Chapter Walkthrough

Part 5: Boss Puzzle – Temporal Guardian

This is not a combat sequence but a puzzle boss.

  1. Phase 1: The Guardian slams its fists. Examine the left fist – it has three runes. Match the runes to the symbols on the Chrono-Core (circle, triangle, diamond). Use the Chrono-Lens to freeze the fist, then click the runes in order: Circle → Triangle → Diamond.
  2. Phase 2: The Guardian opens its chest cavity, revealing a Time Heart. Four rotating rings surround it. Stop each ring when the glowing line matches the symbol on Eliza’s locket (a phoenix).
    • Ring 1 (outer): Stop at the tail feather.
    • Ring 2: Stop at the wing.
    • Ring 3: Stop at the eye.
    • Ring 4 (inner): Stop at the beak.
  3. Phase 3: The Guardian collapses. The Chronomancer tries to escape through a time rift. Use the Chrono-Lens on the rift to reverse it, pulling him back. Then throw your dagger at the amulet on his chest.

Victory: The Chronomancer ages to dust. The time distortions fade. grim legends 3 the dark city bonus chapter walkthrough

  2. Observation: Time stutters here. Some objects flicker between past and present.
  3. Action: Examine the frozen clock (center). The hands are missing. Use your dagger (from inventory) to pry open the glass. Inside, you find a Minute Hand and a broken Hour Hand.
  4. Puzzle: Repair the Hour Hand.
    • Examine the broken Hour Hand on your inventory. You need a metal rod and a heat source.
    • Go to the left pedestal. The hourglass here is inverted. Activate it – a ghost appears. Follow the ghost’s path; it stops at a wall torch. Use your empty bottle (found on floor near pedestal) on the torch flame to get Hot Ash.
    • Combine Hot Ash + Broken Hour Hand + Metal File (found in a crack in the wall) → Repaired Hour Hand.
  5. Action: Place both clock hands onto the frozen clock. Set the time to 11:55 (the ghost’s last memory). The central platform rotates, revealing a staircase down.
