Blinx: The Time Sweeper Cheats and Hints for Xbox

Hints

Easy money
Fight the Boss of Hourglass Caves. He is easy, and can be defeated in under a minute. Kill him, and get as close to the location he was last at when he died. If you are in the correct location, you will pick up all of the money he spits out.

Defeat a boss and collect all the gold coins. When you finish collecting them, immediately use a Rewind. Most of the coins will return, allowing you to get almost double the amount of gold.

On stage 1 round 2, there is a pig on a flying object. As soon as he appears from his hole in the ground, use a pause and get the gold. Then, finish the level. Repeat this as many times as needed. This is helpful when you are trying to get a new Sweeper.

On stage 3 round 2, there is a pig on an airbike. Defeat him and collect all the gold afterwards. After gettung all the gold in the area, there is a "gambling game" nearby. Go up to it, making sure you have things to shoot at it. Use a Slow. When you hit the target at the correct time, lots of gold will appear. Collect the gold, then continue. As you go, use a Fast Forward to make things go faster. After awhile, the gambling game will be spinning again. Repeat the process with the allotted time you have remaining.

To get lots of gold, repeat any level with gold and collect as many of those "circle clock" things without losing them, as at the end of a level they will give you gold.

Duplicating high yield items
For example, in Stage 1 Level 2 you will encounter two time monsters balancing on clock balls. Each of these balls are high yield items. This means each ball if kept in your sweeper at the end of the round will yield 100 gold. Note: Upon entering the level user should have or obtain at least One Record power-up. After killing off all necessary time monsters, make sure to collect and save both time clock balls remaining behind after killing the time monster atop them. Go somewhere in the level with a fair amount of room and make sure both clock balls are ready to be expelled. Use a Record power-up, and while recording, shoot out/expel both clock balls and wait for Record power-up to run out. After the Record power-up has run out, you are rewound and returned to the state previous to expelling the clock balls. You will notice that your recorded self expels/shoots out two balls. If you now look at your sweeper bag you will see that the two original balls are still there. You can now go and pick up the other two balls and have four instead of two. Even better, if you have two Record power-ups, after collecting the first set of extra balls you can then record yourself expelling all four balls. Then, your recorded self will expel four balls and now after collecting those four, you will have eight balls. Note: This will work with any item.

Defeating the Cavern Boss
Use Time Changers wisely. Use Pause when he is just normally attacking you to get behind him easily, and when he does his two-charge attack. When he starts to charge at you in the two-charge attack, use Pause quickly and move out of the way (unless you can dodge it). Another way to avoid his two-charge attack is to use Record. When he starts charging you the first time, use Record and run around. He cannot hurt you, and when you return to normal time, he will follow the recorded version of Blinx instead of the real version. An easy way to hit him without using time alterations or waiting for his normal charge is to shoot any piece of junk at him when you are relatively close. When he sucks it in, run behind him and shoot him.

Defeating the Forgotten City Boss
Use the water in the middle. The Boss for some reason cannot go into the water. If you are in there, you can get to the correct location and hit him from behind.

Finish the stage before this with a Record Control. Fill up your Sweeper (do not use any on him yet). Then, go outside the gates. When he shows up, pick up what you need to get a Pause Control. Make sure you are close to and in front of him, then use your Record Control. Run past him and keep running. When the Record's power up is done, the recording will play. While the boss is chasing it, hit him from behind and repeat as he becomes normal. Next, use Pause in front of him. Run behind and shoot him. This works even better if you start off with multiple Pauses or Records.

Defeating the Momentopolis Boss
When you first start the level, you will see a short intermission sequence, then the Boss will form. After that, time will rewind and you will face the fourth Boss, followed by the seventh Boss, sixth Boss, and finally the eighth Boss. Buy at least one bomb and fill up on retries. Once you get to the final area, the Boss will take all of your time commands (provided you have any) and the fight will start. To damage him, shoot him while he is spawning bombs. During this time he will summon a few hundred crystals and activate the power associated with it (yellow stars for Slow or orange pyramids for Fast Forward). If he summons a Fast Forward, run around and avoid him until the effect wears off. With a Slow, you will get hit by lightning about 99% of the time. Once you hit him three times, he copies himself (sort of Record). They will both spawn bombs and even cause a shockwave. He will then use Pause (blue moons). Once he gets all the crystals, time a jump in mid-air and you will avoid all attacks. The bombs spawned this time are both regular and encased in ice, which will cause the floor to ice for a while. To damage him, you must fire one bomb at either Boss, then fire at the second one quickly. Do this three times and you will move on. This time, he will chase after you and try to chop you. Keep running and jumping to avoid him. To damage him, you must use one of each time command. He will "absorb" it and start losing the outer shell. It is recommended that you get them in your spare time within the first two phases. After you use all five, the entire outer shell will fall off. He will try to ram you. After he does this, he is temporarily vulnerable. Quickly shoot him and he will be defeated.

Defeating the second Boss
As soon as you enter the room, the frog will pop out. Start running in the opposite direction. As you run, the frog will jump at you once. Keep running until you get to the opposite side that you got in at. There be a ledge. Jump up onto it. The frog cannot shoot or jump up on the ledge. Wait until he turns his back, then shoot Note: This will require a few shots.
