Part 2

RETURN TO THE UNIVERSITY

Going back in time, Jack returns to the Project Promenade lab just in time to see his earlier self and William escape the lab. Forced to take another route, Jack now must intercept William before he does. He knows that if William makes it to the library, he’ll be killed when the demolition charges go off and the building collapses on top of him.

In a desperate dash, Jack fights his way to the library. At the last instant, he manages to use his abilities to rescue William—it looks to observers as if William was killed, but in actuality, Jack manages to get him out of harm’s way.

With his brother alive, Jack hands over the countermeasure. But William says they can’t use it here. It won’t work. Something will go wrong. Jack already knows it won’t work, William says, even if he has trouble accepting it; he knows how things will turn out, and one of those things is the Fracture progressing. No, they’ll have to go back to Jack’s time, to a point when it can work—or, to put it another way, to a time when they don’t know it won’t work. It’s a slim hope, but it’s better than nothing.

They must return to the future. And for that, they need William’s machine at the Bradbury Swimming Pool.

Find Will

The level starts back in the original Time Machine room where you helped Paul at the start of the game.

**Optional:** There’s a time echo from Act One/Part 1 here of Paul and Jack activating the corridor.

Head down the path toward the ramp to the entrance. Two Monarch operatives approach from the elevator. Kill them and continue.

The doors at the top of the ramp are shut, so use the elevator.

**Chronon Source:** Before heading back down the ramp, use Time Vision to reveal a Chronon source near the lab coats.

Head back down the ramp and enter the elevator to ride it down.

Walk through the narrow doorway and confront more enemies: two technicians, two LMG techs, and a few operatives.

You’ll catch two technicians by surprise as LMG techs and operatives start heading your way.

**Mandatory:** Once the enemies are taken care of, run through the room toward an unstable roll-up door. Use Time Stop/Time Shield to prop the door open, then run through.

**Chronon Source:** After walking outside, climb the forklift and use Time Vision to reveal a Chronon source.

**Optional:** Jack can Interact with the forklift.

After exiting the loading dock through the unstable door, you see a few Monarch operatives and a shotgun tech stuck in a stutter. You can grab weapons from these guys if needed.

Turn around and climb the side stairs to the upper parking lot. There are strikers guarding this area.

**Optional:** Jack can Interact with the campus map in the parking lot.

**Mandatory:** Kill the strikers in the parking lot.

Look around for the tail light streaks of a bearcat entering a parking garage. You can rewind time here.

**Mandatory:** Rewind the bearcat and enter the parking garage.

Remember to stay out of the way of the bearcat, as it will crush you if you’re in front of it as it returns to the parking garage.

Once Jack is spotted, the enemies inside begin attacking.

**Mandatory:** Kill all enemies in the parking garage.

Once the enemies are dead, get the gate code to proceed. To do this, head to the center of the room and look for an echo.

**Mandatory:** Trigger the echo and follow it closely (you may need to watch the echoes move a few times to get the pattern down). Once it arrives at each destination, Interact with the echo again and continue to follow it. After successfully following the echo, you’ll obtain a gate code.

**Mandatory:** Once you have the gate code, head to the gate and open it up.
**Find Will:** To the library

Head through the opened gate.

**Chronon Source:** Before riding the escalator up, use Time Vision to reveal a Chronon source to the right, near a TV screen on the wall.

**Mandatory:** Take out the three Monarch operatives.

**Collectible:** Before disabling the dampener switch, Interact with the note right next to it to unlock a document.

Ride the escalator up into the lobby. There’s a Chronon Dampener active in there.

**Mandatory:** Turn off the Chronon Dampener.

After disabling the dampener, the power goes out and more enemies show up, including two LMG techs. These guys don’t have dampeners equipped, so use Time Stop.
