Clock Tower and Master’s Quarters route and requirements

Isaac sits in the Heart of the Clock. To reach him, go through the clock on the Clock Tower Bridge with The Shadow (Soul Harvest) equipped, as covered in the route to Isaac. He gives you The Zealot (Chronomantic Dive) and the Chauve-Souris spear.

The Master’s Quarters lie past the Heart of the Clock. You pass through the Sanctuary of Solitude (Mirror of Life, Ferryman’s Wharf, Gloomstone relic), then face Dracula on the Castle Rooftops and in the Court of the Night, with the Dracula fight breakdown covering both forms. Mirrors of Life sit in Foundry Apex, Mechanic’s Ascent, Eastern Summit and the Sanctuary of Solitude.
