Chapter 05Time Dojo
This chapter 05: time dojo walkthrough turns the current chapter into a fast-reference tool first, then backs it up with fuller spoiler-light guidance. It covers 3 clean puzzle routes so you can clear the chapter without brute-force rewinds. You also get 3 missables and every relevant lock point before the chapter closes. Start with Moses Time Dojo: Swordmaster Frostbite if you only need the highest-pressure decision page. Moses is the fastest character route to cross-check from here.
Player Intent
Players usually land here to clear puzzle gates without brute-force rewinds, keep missables safe, and open the right choice guide only when the checkpoint actually matters.

Open authority pagePuzzle solutions & clean clears
These are the puzzle gates that most often force players into rewind spam. Each block gives you the clean route, the linked authority choice page, and the exact failure state to avoid.
Puzzle route
Swordmaster Frostbite answer
Use the clue on the figurine base to answer Moses correctly.
- Rewind after taking the card from Moses
- Go upstairs and inspect the schoolgirl statue base
- Rewind again and answer Mina Hiramatsu
Failure states
- Answering without checking the statue clue stalls the sequence
Puzzle route
Locked cabinet mug test
Retrieve Moses' mug without leaving the cabinet broken.
- Take the screwdriver and open the cabinet once to see the mug break
- Rewind and collect the cushion from Moses' chair
- Place the cushion under the cabinet before opening it again
- Pick up the mug and rewind so the cabinet is intact
Failure states
- Opening the cabinet without the cushion breaks the mug again
- Talking to Moses before rewinding the cabinet state can block completion
Puzzle route
Kettle fire test
Use the floor marker rewind and upstairs route to stop the fire.
- Stand on the X marker on the floor
- Rewind as soon as the kettle sparks
- Run upstairs immediately and unplug the kettle
Failure states
- Waiting too long downstairs lets the fire trigger again
Missables & lock points
Use this section when you only need the collectible-safe route. Every card tells you what to grab, what closes the window, and why the missable matters.

Deeper chapter guide
Chapter 05: Time Dojo
Puzzle-heavy Moses chapter built around clue checking, environmental rewinds, and the chapter's two highest-intent solve pages.
This page is intentionally split into a tool layer and a reading layer. The modules above help you clear the chapter fast; this section explains how the chapter behaves as a route node inside the larger walkthrough. If you are returning after a mistake, use the roadmap first, then come back here once you are safe again.
The chapter's main friction points are Swordmaster Frostbite answer, Locked cabinet mug test, and Kettle fire test. Treat those moments as execution checks instead of experimentation sandboxes, especially if you are trying to keep Time Fatigue low. The collectible pressure comes from Gourd Day to You photo, One Giant Leap photo, and Podcast Overload #1, and each lock point above is there to help you avoid a replay.
