Timequest Hints

How do I defeat Vettenmyer?

  • 1 of 20: You have very little time before he comes in and overpowers you.
  • 2 of 20: It would help if you could stall a bit.
  • 3 of 20: But it would be just as nice if you went back in time.
  • 4 of 20: Have you read the sign in between the two platforms?
  • 5 of 20: Get on the right platform to travel back in time.
  • 6 of 20: Now, you'll have to go back to the future to stop Zeke.
  • 7 of 20: There is only one time when you can do anything, so experiment.
  • 8 of 20: Get on the left platform at 7:59 so you appear at 9:01.
  • 9 of 20: Vettenmyer has been knocked down, so you have a little breathing room.
  • 10 of 20: Don't try to stop Vettenmyer now.  Just stop his machine.
  • 11 of 20: Put the key in the keyhole and get out.
  • 12 of 20: Stand on the right platform.
  • 13 of 20: Now, you'll be strapped down.  You have to guess the right number.
  • 14 of 20: If you did things properly, the other you already gave you the number.
  • 15 of 20: So say that number to survive.
  • 16 of 20: Somehow, Vettenmyer knows what's going to happen, so he turns around to wait for you to appear at 9:01.
  • 17 of 20: Now, you'll have to re-create the scene that was set when you arrived.
  • 18 of 20: Vettenmyer was on the ground, so kick him now.
  • 19 of 20: The case was open, so step on the remote control.
  • 20 of 20: And don't forget to say the magic number you heard before.
