In Deltarune’s first chapter, a two-stage Clock Puzzle challenges players within the Dark World’s Field of Hopes and Dreams. Success hinges on precise activation of pressure plates to unlock pathways. While the initial phase is solo, the latter demands teamwork with acquired allies.

Clock Puzzle Solution Guide

Mastering this challenge demands proficiency with Overworld mechanics, particularly sprinting to navigate timed sequences.

First Puzzle Segment

The initial puzzle features three timed switches beneath a wall-mounted clock. Activate the mechanism via the timepiece, then rapidly step on illuminated panels using sprint controls (default X key or Auto Run setting). Correct execution lowers defensive barriers, enabling progress eastward.

Second Puzzle Sequence

After progressing through the Field and encountering opposition, players face an expanded version of the clock challenge requiring Susie’s assistance. Trigger the chronometer and coordinate with allies to activate plates in sequence. Successful completion unlocks a doorway, though subsequent progression involves tactical combat instruction with your new companion.
