Default Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock Trophy Guide and Road Map


Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock Trophy Guide + Roadmap


Overview:

-Estimated Trophy Difficulty: N/A (Platinum Difficulty Rating Thread)
-Offline: 47 (32 , 13 , 2 )
-Online: 0
-Approximate amount of time to /100%: 10-15 hours
-Minimum number of playthroughs needed: 1 (2 recommended)
-Number of missable trophies: 3, see Flying Doctor, High IQ and Puzzler. All other trophies can be achieved using chapter select.
-Glitched trophies: None
-Does difficulty affect trophies?: Yes, see High IQ and Puzzler
-Do cheat codes disable trophies?: No cheat codes.

Road Map
Step 1 – Hard Puzzle Playthrough
Play through the game with puzzles set to Hard difficulty. Enjoy the storyline, get to grips with the (sometimes glitchy) control system and AI.

It is recommended that you try to obtain all the collectibles in this step, as well as doing some of the miscellaneous trophies like Soundly Beaten or Beg For Mercy, though you can mop these up later if you’d prefer.

In this step, you will unlock the following trophies for certain:

Crate work
Fast on your feet
On the right tracks
A Plumb Job
Hack Job
Tested to Destruction
The Open Road
No time to hang around
Hello Sweetie
Soundly Beaten
Toxic Relationship
Ye Doctor
Goodbye Blue Boy
Winch Way Next
A steal
Hello Sexy
Sent packing
One in the eye for the good guy
Geronimo!
Universal Destruction Avoided


And most likely:

Smooth Operator
Thorough
Pucker Up


If you played through the game with the recommended parameters above, then upon completion, you will also obtain:

Puzzler
High IQ


You may also unlock the collectible trophies should you attempt them during your first playthrough.


Step 2 – Speed Run

If you didn’t unlock Flying Doctor during your first playthrough (which is likely if you took time to collect collectibles etc,) then play the story again with the puzzle difficulty set to Easy in order to whizz through in as quick a time as possible. Under 300 minutes is an easy time to beat, especially on Easy, so this shouldn’t take long. You'll also likely unlock the rest of the speed run trophies here too, which are:

Clever Clogs
Smart Cookie
Clear Vision
Timey Wimey
Quick Getaway
Deleted
Elementary
Exterminated


Step 3 – Clean Up
If you haven’t acquired all of the collectibles or the trophies for completing certain sections of the game/puzzles under a required time, now is the time to go for these. Set the puzzle difficulty to Easy, and this will be simple. The collectible trophies are as follows:

Head Scratcher
Paper Trail
Short Story
Hat's off to you
Long Story
Diarist
Mad Hatter


Trophy Guide
The trophies in the guide are separated into four categories:
- Story-Related, where you will find trophies that are either unmissable due to being tied to story events, or are best completed at certain parts of the story.
- Puzzle-Related, where you will find trophies associated with completing certain puzzle types in a certain amount of time.
- Collectible-Related, where you will find trophies associated with collecting certain amounts of the Doctor’s hats or River’s diary pages.
- Miscellaneous, where you will find the remaining few trophies, and the Platinum.

Story-Related Trophies
Smooth Operator
Press 10 TARDIS console buttons

When you begin the game, you will be able to press at different consoles in the TARDIS. Press ten times, and this will unlock. You will return to the TARDIS numerous times during the game, so you don’t need to do this all at once, if you don’t want to.

Thorough
Scan 10 objects

When you are in possession of the sonic screwdriver, the Doctor and River can scan their surroundings by using the right control stick to get hints and tips on how to proceed. Scan everything in sight in the first level, and you will unlock this very quickly. If not, then you will obtain it as you progress, since you will need to scan many doors and platforms in order to continue with the game.

Crate work
Use the gold bullion crate to smash your way out of the Bank of England

Unmissable. As you near the end of the first level, Stormy Beginnings, you will unlock this after destroying a grate by pushing a crate of gold bars onto it.

The Stormcage Redemption
Escape Stormcage without being detected.

Complete the second level, Stormcage Escape, without being detected by the guards or the security lights in order to unlock this. Take your time, learn the guards and lights movements, and you should unlock this easily.

The most difficult section here involves a guard patrolling between two consoles, and another guard facing away from you to the right. Wait for the guard to finish with the two consoles - he will then walk towards the camera. When he turns around and heads back to the console on the right, this is the time when you should make your move. You will have plenty of time to sneak over the boxes and kiss the guard facing away from you so that he can open the door.

If you trip an alarm by standing in the green lights, or if you are spotted and captured by a guard, pause the game and return to the main menu to retry.

Pucker Up
Kiss 6 Stormcage Guards

During the second level, Stormcage Escape, River will be able to kiss Stormcage guards with her hallucinogenic lipstick by creeping up behind them with and pressing . Do this to six guards, and you will unlock this. There are plenty of guards during the level, and this is cumulative across all playthroughs of the level.

Quick Getaway
Escape Stormcage in 8 minutes

Complete the second level, Stormcage Escape, in under 8 minutes. With the puzzle difficulty set to Easy, this should be fairly straightforward. If not, then replay the level and try to learn the movements of the guards in order to progress quicker and not get caught.

See The Stormcage Redemption for tips on the hardest sections of this area. As an indication of the strictness of this time limit, I was able to get this trophy and The Stormcage Redemption in the same runthrough, so you have plenty of time to be patient and still complete the level in under 8 minutes.

] Fast on your feet
Beat the Cybermen to the Underground refugee camp

Unmissable.

On the right tracks

Unmissable.

Stunning work
Stun 5 Cybermen

When playing as River during the fourth level, City Streets, use the power shot function (Hold ) of her blaster to disable 5 Cybermen temporarily. You can also do this during the fifth level, Ninth Legion Cyberfactory.

A Plumb Job
Re-route the gas pipe plans in Victorian London

Unmissable.
Spoiler! (click here to reveal)


Hack Job
Open the security door in the office block

Unmissable.
Spoiler! (click here to reveal)


Tested to Destruction
Re-route the thermionic consoles in the Cyberfactory

Unmissable. Complete the fifth level, Ninth Legion Cyberfactory, and this will unlock once you have collected the first piece of the Eternity Clock and escaped the factory through the time tunnel.

Deleted
Finish the Cyberfactory in 20 minutes

Finish the fifth level, Ninth Legion Cyberfactory, in under 20 minutes. With the puzzle difficulty set to Easy, this should be fairly straightforward. If not, then replay the level and try to learn the quickest ways to complete each platforming section, and try not to die when the Cybermen are chasing you – this will add to your time.

It is very easy to unlock this trophy, as the time limit is fairly lenient and you should be able to finish the level in under 10 minutes if you are careful. The trap you may fall into is rushing too much, leading you to take risks and get killed by errant Cybermats - take your time, and you will easily be able to unlock this trophy.

The Open Road
Lower the drawbridge on Old London Bridge

Unmissable.
Spoiler! (click here to reveal)


Elementary
Finish return to Victorian London in 15 minutes

Complete the seventh level, Somewhere in Victorian London, in less than 15 minutes. With the puzzle difficulty set to Easy, this should be fairly straightforward. If not, then replay the level and try to learn the movements of the guards and Silurians in order to progress quicker and not get caught out.

I was able to finish this level in under 10 minutes, so the time limit here isn't too demanding. Just don't spend too much time messing around - head straight for the sewers, then get the sonic screwdriver, and head back to the sewers right away. Be careful, as rushing is your enemy and will lead to you running into Silurians and dying, which will add to your time.

No time to hang around
Collect the Stasis Field Generator in the Silence Base

Unmissable. Complete the eighth level, Somewhere in Elizabethan London, and this will unlock once you have collected the Stasis Field Generator inside the Silence ship.

Silently Silencing the Silence
Outwit the Silence without being checkpointed

Spoiler! (click here to reveal)


Hello Sweetie
Wake up River in the tomb

Unmissable. This will unlock at the beginning of the ninth level, Love A Tomb!, after the Doctor and River reunite.

Soundly Beaten
Sonic disarm 5 Silurians

Unmissable.
During the tenth level, Deep Beneath The Earth, River will have to fend for herself against an army of Silurians using the sonic screwdriver. Use the screwdriver with the right control stick and match the waveforms to disarm a Silurian. Do this five times, and you will unlock this trophy.

Toxic Relationship
Defeat Vekkis

Unmissable. Complete the tenth level, Deep Beneath The Earth, and the trophy will unlock.
Spoiler! (click here to reveal)


Ye Doctor
Discover the statue in the Elizabethan quadrangle

Unmissable. Completing the twelfth level, 545 Years Earlier, will unlock this trophy. The Doctor will come across a statue of himself, and be less than impressed. The trophy should unlock here.

Goodbye Blue Boy
Outwit the Strategist Dalek

Unmissable.
Spoiler! (click here to reveal)


The Eyes have it
Quick-shoot 5 Daleks

During the thirteenth level, Strategic Withdrawal, you will play as River and sneak through a Dalek compound. Use her quick-shoot ability (Aim with the right control stick, tap ) to shoot a Dalek in the eyestalk. It will get angry and spin around, unable to see. Shoot five of them in this way (or the same one five times) and this will unlock.

Beg for Mercy
Power-shoot 5 Daleks

During the thirteenth level, Strategic Withdrawal, you will play as River and sneak through a Dalek compound. Use her power-shoot ability (Aim with the right control stick, then hold until the gun bleeps, then release) to shoot a Dalek in the eyestalk. It will be stunned and unable to move. Shoot five of them in this way (or the same one five times) and this will unlock.

Winch Way Next
Activate the crane winch in Old St. Pauls

Unmissable. Complete the fourteenth level, Old St. Pauls, and this trophy will unlock as soon as you climb the long ladder at the top after completing the perception filter puzzle.

A steal
Defeat the Silence and steal their time capsule

Unmissable. Complete the fifteenth level, Silence Time Capsule, and this trophy will unlock.
Spoiler! (click here to reveal)


Hello Sexy
Find the TARDIS in the Dalek time lock

Unmissable. Complete the sixteenth level, Inside The Time Lock, and this trophy will unlock. This level and the next will seem to blend into one, but once you have reached the TARDIS for the first time after dodging some Daleks, this trophy will unlock.

Exterminated
Finish time-locked London in 20 minutes

Complete the sixteenth level, Inside The Time-Lock in under 20 minutes to unlock this trophy. With the puzzle difficulty set to Easy, this should be fairly straightforward. If not, then replay the level and try to learn the movements of the Daleks in order to progress quicker and not get caught out.

This is another lenient time limit, which you should be able to complete in under 10 minutes at a stretch, although under 15 is more likely. As with the previous chapters, don't rush the sections where you must dodge Daleks, since dying will just add to your time. Be aware that running past Daleks in the background will make this much easier - as long as you keep moving, they shouldn't be able to hit you.

Sent packing
Send the Dalek Supreme to Antarctica

Unmissable. Complete the seventeenth level, Dalek Command Node, and once you have hacked a final terminal and teleported the one remaining Dalek away (complete with cries of NO! NO! NO!), this trophy will unlock.

One in the eye for the good guy
Shoot the Emperor Dalek in the eyestalk

Geronimo!

Unmissable. Complete the final level and defeat the final boss to unlock this.

Universal Destruction Avoided

Unmissable. Obtained when the game credits are rolling after defeating the final boss and solving the final Time Corridor.

Puzzle-Related Trophies


Clever clogs
Complete Data Link puzzle in 60 seconds

A Data Link puzzle is the type in which you must link up tiles with pictures on to join one point to another. The first time you find one of these is in the Stormcage Breakout level, right at the end. With the puzzle difficulty set to Easy, this shouldn’t be difficult.

Smart Cookie
Complete Re-router puzzle in 60 seconds

A Re-router puzzle is the type in which you must change a circuit to light certain lamps. You encounter a lot of these during the Somewhere In Victorian London level. With the puzzle difficulty set to Easy, this shouldn’t be too hard. You can speed up your time here by pressing when you have lit the correct lamps to get the next configuration quicker.

Clear Vision
Complete Mind Map puzzle on Medium or Hard in 60 seconds

A Mind Map puzzle is the type in which you must spin four discs to create a picture. You first encounter one of these in the first level, Stormy Beginnings, right at the end. With the puzzle difficulty set to Medium, this shouldn’t be too hard.

If you attempt this on puzzle difficulty Hard, here's a helping hand: "On Hard mode, move the "first"/middle circle to the right until the that part of the mind map is correctly aligned. After doing so, scroll up once to the "second" (or third coming from the top) movable circle and move it to the right until the image completes itself." (Credit to Bucket for this handy tip!)

Timey Wimey
Complete a Time Corridor in 2 minutes

You enter Time Corridors after collecting pieces of the Eternity Clock, like at the end of the Ninth Legion Cyberfactory or Deep Beneath The Earth levels. With the puzzle difficulty set to Easy, this shouldn’t be too hard.

To complete these puzzles, you must use the and buttons in order to rotate the "wheels" of the corridor so that you have a platform in front of you that "matches up" with the platform you are standing on. For example, if you are on a platform made of the bottom left four squares, then you would require one with the bottom right four squares.

Press when you have a matching pair, and then use the left stick to move the Doctor onto the new platform. Continue in this manner until you reach the TARDIS. If you spend too long on one platform and it is struck by three bolts of lightning, then it will fall apart and you must retry.

This all sounds very complicated, but once you actually get to do it, it will make much more sense. You can finish one of these puzzles in just over a minute, even with a few mistakes, so this trophy shouldn't be too hard.

Mad Hatter
Collect all the Hats

Throughout the game, you will be able to collect the Doctor’s hats. Your progress can be tracked using the Collectibles menu on the Pause screen. Use the Collectibles Guide, and once you have collected all 40 hats, this trophy will unlock.

Diarist
Collect all the Diary Pages

Throughout the game, you will be able to collect pages from River’s diary. Your progress can be tracked using the Collectibles menu on the Pause screen. Use the Collectibles Guide, and once you have collected all 40 pages, this trophy will unlock.


Miscellaneous Trophies
Flying Doctor (Missable)
Complete the game in 300 minutes

The game isn’t too long, so you should be able to do this quite easily. If you have trouble, set the puzzle difficulty to Easy – this will save you time on some of the more difficult puzzles, as well as timed sections where you must complete puzzles in order to evade capture. Unfortunately there's no way of knowing how long it has taken you in-game, so time yourself with some kind of stopwatch to be sure. (Credit to laticspieman for the tip!)

As a rule of thumb, I unlocked this in just over four hours, and the time limit is five.

If you'd like to glitch through this after playing through once, you can actually just play the first level, Stormy Beginnings, then quit out and play the final level, Dalek Flagship. This will trip this trophy. (Credit to Roughdawg4 and saintdave for finding and testing this out!)

Puzzler
(Missable)
Complete the game on puzzle medium difficulty

Set the puzzle difficulty to Medium and complete each level in the game, and this trophy will unlock. See High IQ for more details.

If you'd like to glitch through this after playing through once, you can actually just play the first level, Stormy Beginnings, then quit out and play the final level, Dalek Flagship. This will trip this trophy. (Credit to Roughdawg4 and saintdave for finding and testing this out!)

High IQ (Missable)
Complete the game on puzzle hard

Set the puzzle difficulty to Hard and complete each level in the game, and this trophy will unlock. This trophy will stack with Puzzler, so completing the game on puzzle difficulty Hard will unlock both this trophy and Puzzler.

The most difficult puzzles on Hard are the Mind Maps, but there's a handy tip that will make them fairly straightforward: "On Hard mode, move the "first"/middle circle to the right until the that part of the mind map is correctly aligned. After doing so, scroll up once to the "second" (or third coming from the top) movable circle and move it to the right until the image completes itself." (Credit to Bucket for this handy tip!)

If you want to do this after the first playthrough, you can also simply select each level in turn and complete it with Hard puzzle difficulty, rather than starting a brand new save file.

If you'd like to glitch through this after playing through once, you can actually just play the first level, Stormy Beginnings, then quit out and play the final level, Dalek Flagship. This will trip this trophy. (Credit to Roughdawg4 and saintdave for finding and testing this out!)

Time Lord
Collect all Trophies

Well done! For completing the trophy list, this is your reward. Now put your feet up and enjoy some fish fingers and custard!

Hi. You probably noticed but I literally just started my trophy guide. However I was simply doing it as no-one else had. As your collectibles guide is so good you deserve to get the guide. If you wish you can copy bits of my guide as long as you give credit.

Nice work

Actually please do use my points as I don't want them to go to waste.

Hi there. I'll have a look through your guide and see what I can use in mine, thanks very much. If you want to link to my collectibles guide then you're welcome to on your trophy guide

Guide is complete for now. If I think of/discover any tips for the speedrun trophies or anything else, I'll edit it in. Feedback is appreciated.

For the Elementary trophy, you mean Silurians

Random tip for Clear Vision trophy/Hard mode mind maps in general (once you list that and the others): On Hard mode, move the "first"/middle circle to the right until the that part of the mind map is correctly aligned. After doing so, scroll up twice to the "third" (or second coming from the top) movable circle and move it to the right until the image completes itself :P

Not sure why I missed the Puzzle trophies, I'd written them up in my Word document and not pasted them over. Thanks for the tip, which I've added in, and I did indeed mean Silurians!

Another note now that you've added them in :P

"With puzzle difficulty set to Easy, this shouldn’t be too hard." should maybe not be listed on Clear Vision since it requires Medium/Hard difficulty ^^
