How to Get the Time Stone in Thanos Simulator: Complete Beginner's Walkthrough
By Alexander Ross
Dropping into the arena pit triggers the Doctor Strange boss encounter. The sorcerer carries a massive pool of 120,000 HP and cycles through three distinct attack phases. Walking in with pure brute-force melee swings guarantees a quick wipe.
During Phase One, Strange hovers out of standard melee reach, throwing spinning energy discs. Keep your sprint toggled on and circle the arena clockwise. The discs track your trajectory slightly, but changing direction abruptly causes them to crash into the stone pillars.
Phase Two begins when Strange drops below 50% health. He splits into four mirror duplicates. Damaging the illusions deals zero damage to the actual health bar and inflicts a brief stun on your avatar. Identify the genuine boss by checking his chest: only the real target displays the glowing green talisman. Focus your heaviest area-of-effect Titan abilities directly on him.
Phase Three is the most dangerous window. At 15% health, Strange attempts to activate his chronal loop, creating an expanding green dome across the arena floor. If caught inside this radius, your character freezes in place while taking rapid tick damage. Jump backward toward the perimeter walls immediately. Use ranged blasts or a lunging ground-slam to interrupt his casting stance. Once his health reaches zero, the boss dissipates, leaving the Time Stone floating directly above the altar.
