For long range attacks, use a crossbow. The Time Keeper moves a lot which is why keeping a distance will be the best option. The hook attack of the time keeper is a long range attack, getting struck by it will deal a lot of damage to you, so keep a look out for it.

After the end of each phase, the Time Keeper’s attacks that include the Sword and Shiruken will increase in numbers. Be aware of these special attacks as any of these combo attacks may take a huge chunk out of your health.

When the second phase begins, the hand of the king will use a transition attack in which small enemies will spawn in the area that you have to defeat. Use turrets and grenades on them to quickly kill all the enemies. The Hand of the king will then re appear and will add one new attack in which he will place red explosive banners. You need to destroy the banners before they explode as they will deal a lot of damage to you. Also keeping in mind that the fighting arena is small and the explosive radius is very big on the banners, so your priority should shift to taking out the banners immediately.

The third and final phase of the fight, the Hand of the King will add another attac which is a hand slam. You can dodge his attacks by jumping over. there is a brief indication of this hand slam when it starts glowing red. Another transitional phase will begin with the elite zombies and small enemies. Clear them out and return to your attack at the boss. The fight ends when your attacks completely deplete all of the health of this final boss.
