Reaching the Tower
The walkthrough reaches the Tower after Desert of the Last Memory and Anchored Wilhelm. Opening the Tower doors corresponds to We’re coming for you, Despair in the community achievement descriptions. No full-collection requirement is established for entry.
The Despair sequence
The endgame has two encounter chapters followed by the escape. Choose the checkpoint matching your current scene:
| Checkpoint | Watch from |
|---|---|
| Tower entry | 06:00:17 |
| Despair | 06:01:24 |
| Allira’s Despair | 06:08:16 |
| Escape Tower | 06:15:00 |
| Credits | 06:19:02 |
These are wolker4’s video chapters, not a confirmed phase-count or attack-name list.
During the fight
The footage covers both encounters. A reliable move-by-move counter list and checkpoint recovery map are not available on this page. Fixed quarter-health transitions and claims that a fall always preserves combat progress should not be treated as established rules.
After the fight
Continue through the Tower escape with Allira. The community description for Stick with me ties the unlock to completing the escape. Don’t go there! describes falling from the top of the Tower; 100% Guides classifies it as story-related, so this is not an instruction to make a separate jump from an arbitrary ledge.
The walkthrough returns to Tick Town after credits. Continue with the completion checklist for music-box hand-ins, cards, shopping and region cleanup.
FAQ
Is Despair the final boss?
Reviews and the full walkthrough identify Despair with the final Tower confrontation. The video separately labels a later Allira’s Despair encounter before the escape.
Do I need every collectible first?
No source used for this guide identifies full collection as an entry requirement. Clock Heart Pieces and Star Core Fragments increase health and Temporal Energy; cosmetic collections have separate objectives.
