Where to go

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Align in the SandDawn of the Infinite · Level 10-80

    So, the timeways, yeah? They're VERY misaligned. And you know how we bronzes hate that! So we need to realign time with these temporal hourglasses. Just plop them down throughout Eon's Fringe. But you know me, always needing to help! So I'll be placing another hourglass nearby.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Chro-me?Dawn of the Infinite · Level 10-80

    One result of your "time realignment" is that it seems to have summoned... me? Well, alternate timeline versions of me. I've never seen so many Chromies in one place! And while they all may be cute, they're playing havoc on the local timeways.

The storyline at a glance

Dawn of the Infinites has 8 steps, from Dawn of the Infinite to Rewind and Reconcile.
