Resource Priorities

Recommended Progression Strategy

  • Priority 1 (Health Flasks): Purchase Health Flask +1 in Tick Town as soon as you gather your first batch of Upgrade Gears. Having 4 charges dramatically eases early boss encounters like Wrath and Guayota.
  • Priority 2 (Clock Hearts): Keep an eye out for Clock Heart Pieces tucked in early platforming challenges. Reaching 6 pieces (+2 full hearts) gives you substantial breathing room before the Sea Path.
  • Priority 3 (Rainbow Ingots): Bring all found Rainbow Ingots to the Tick Town anvil to customize Minutero and increase weapon damage.

How many Clock Heart Pieces are required for a full heart container?

Every 3 Clock Heart Pieces assemble a complete heart container. Finding all 12 pieces across exploration zones grants +4 permanent heart containers and unlocks the Gold trophy 'A Clock Heart Piece a Day…'.
