Time Runes are the DLC’s main collectible. There are twelve, and gathering them all opens a secret area under Horloge with one last scene. Nine come up naturally as you play through the chapters; the other three are best left until after the credits, when the party is strong enough. This page covers those three, the secret ending and a list of all twelve with links to the chapter where each one is ticked off.

After the credits: three more runes
- Once the ending is over you’re back in Horloge, free to explore.
- Time Rune IX: the battle challenge
- Go to the tent on the east side of town, the one where you handed over the Certificate of Balloonery back in DLC chapter 2.
- The fight is still tough even now, but it’s winnable. Kill the Cog Flowers first: they can heal every enemy on the field.
- Winning gives Time Rune IX.
- Time Rune VI: the northeast tent
- Go to the northeast part of town and enter the tent that you couldn’t use on your first visit.
- Inside, move the ladder to the left with the Mule Drone and climb it. The puzzle up there is about pushing blocks into the right places. We don’t have a step-by-step order for it, so it takes some experimenting.
- The reward is Time Rune VI.
- Time Rune I: Wheels
- Go to the tent southwest of the big clock in the middle of town. Three Wheels players sit inside.
- Beat them at a Champion Game to earn Time Rune I.
The secret ending
- With all twelve runes, go to the big clock set into the ground in the middle of Horloge and press its purple button.
- The runes are placed on the clock, and it sinks down into a hidden area. Walk north down there to see the secret scene.
- That’s everything the DLC has to offer. Congratulations!
