The following page provides a guide for the third episode of the Night Springs expansion, Time Breaker, including the achievements that can be obtained.

Walkthrough[]

SPEAK WITH DIRECTOR[]

Starting the episode on the set of the Time Breaker video game, talk to the Director.

GO TO THE GREEN ROOM[]

Look over the script[]

After having exhausted all the conversation options, go to the Green Room at the end of the hallway outside the set. Once there, you will find the pages lying on the floor. It should be noted, however, that it is not necessary to read them and they can be completely ignored.

Examine the body[]

By inspecting the dead body, you will collect its tools: the PRS, the TBS, and a gun. The first two occupy the roles of the Angel Lamp (absorb an energy source, in this case that of a SEN, and use it to activate another one, in this case a Lumivista TV) and the flashlight (destroy the enemies’ defenses, thus allowing you to kill them with a fire weapon) respectively. After taking the tools, you will meet the Agent. Once the conversation ends, the next section of the episode automatically starts.

INVESTIGATE THE FOREST[]

Starting in the middle of the forest, proceed down the liner path. After crossing a wooden bridge and climbing two small sets of wooden stairs, you will arrive at a bifurcation. By taking the path on the left, you will find a trailer house containing a Lumivista TV. Supplies can also be found on the cooler outside the trailer.

Find the energy node/Find the energy node at the creek in the forest[]

Going down the path on the right, you will eventually reach the creek mentioned by the Actor’s counterpart. By following it, you will soon find the energy node.

Charge the PRS with the energy node[]

Once you find the node, use it to charge the PRS.

Use the PRS with the TV[]

With the PRS now charged, return to the trailer. On the way there, after finding the corpse of the Actor’s counterpart, you will be attacked by a Time Breaker. This type of enemy behaves in the same way as fadeouts. Once you are back on the trailer, use the PRS to activate the television before using it to proceed to the next section of the episode.

FIND A WAY OUT OF THE HOTEL[]

Starting in a small room in the Oceanview Hotel, exit to the hotel lobby outside, where you will encounter another Time Breaker. The hotel lobby has three exits, each one leading to another version of it in a different time period, with a clock above the exit indicating which version it is. As shown in a set of clocks on the reception, there are three (main) versions of the lobby: the “Entertainment Lobby” (marked with 12 o’clock), the “Tango Lobby” (3 o’clock), and the “Coffee Lobby” (9 o’clock). The lobbies must be traversed in that specific order. While there is also a fourth version of the lobby (6 o’clock), it serves no purpose other than to collect supplies. Supplies can be found on the drawers and toolboxes of the different versions of the lobby. Go to the Entertainment Lobby through the door on the right. There, you will find the Lumivista TV.

Charge the PRS with an energy node[]

Continue to the Tango Lobby through the exit on the center. Once there, you will be attacked by two Time Breakers. Following this, proceed to the Coffee Lobby, once again through the exit on the center, where you will find the energy node. Use the PRS to absorb its energy.

Use the PRS with the TV[]

With PRS now charged, return to the Entertainment Lobby. Once there, you will have to fight three more Time Breakers. After using the PRS to activate the Lumivista TV, use it to continue forward.

Following a cutscene presented in the form of a comic book, this next section of the episode will be based on a beat-em-up arcade game. It will consist of a total of five waves, with there being four enemies on the first wave, five on the second and third waves, and six in the last two waves. As in normal gameplay, you will have to use the TBS on the Time Breakers before being able to kill them. However, you they will only require only one shot. After completing the five waves and talking with Door, look for the energy node to charge the PRS before using television to proceed to the next section.

CONFRONT THE MASTER OF MANY WORLDS[]

Starting this section in front of a broken television, on an empty field of empty energy nodes, you will see the glow of a functioning one coming from nearby. As you approach it, you will soon face a group of three Time Breakers.

Charge the PRS with an energy node[]

Use the node to charge the PRS.

Find a TV and use your PRS[]

After using the node, you will see the dim light of a television coming from afar. As you make your way towards it, you will once again be attacked by another group of five Time Breakers. After killing them, use the television to continue to the next section of the episode.

This final section of the episode takes the form of a text adventure game. While there are multiple paths to take, they will all lead to the same conclusion.
