Brawl Stars Find Gus Clock 3:00: How to Get the Starr Drop

Brawl Stars Find Gus Clock 3:00 is a hidden Stage 3 reward that only becomes available after the Laboratory gives you a tool the original Hallway did not have. That timing is important because the grandfather clock was already part of the October 3 puzzle, where a different time setting advanced Damian’s story. Players returning to the room can easily assume the clock is finished or keep repeating its old solution without triggering anything new.

The Find Gus Clock 3:00 reward uses the repaired Hallway state together with Belle’s lightgun from the Laboratory. You are not looking for another pendulum or a second clock component. Instead, Stage 3 changes an object above the radio into the trigger that makes the old clock worth revisiting. Before trying the hidden reward, finish the main Hallway story, make sure the pendulum is installed, and complete enough of the Laboratory to keep the lightgun in your inventory.

To solve Find Gus Clock 3:00, return to the Hallway with Belle’s lightgun and use the gun on the wall candle above the radio. The candle lights up. Set the grandfather clock to 3:00, with the hour hand pointing at 3 and the minute hand pointing at 12. Then tap the lit candle to pull it. The clock face opens and reveals a Starr Drop that can be collected.

1. Finish the original Hallway route and make sure the clock has its pendulum.
2. Build Belle’s lightgun in the October 5 Laboratory and return to the Hallway.
3. Use the lightgun on the candle above the radio.
4. Set the clock to 3:00, with the hour hand at 3 and minute hand at 12.
5. Pull the lit candle and collect the Starr Drop from the opened clock face.

The order matters because the Find Gus Clock 3:00 secret is not triggered by the clock setting alone. A player can move the hands to 3:00 repeatedly and see nothing if the candle has never been lit with the Stage 3 tool. Treat the candle as the new switch and the clock time as the combination it checks.

Why 12:00 does not give the Stage 3 reward

The original Hallway solution uses 12:00 during Damian’s story progression, so that time remains strongly associated with the room. Stage 3 deliberately reuses the clock with a different answer. Find Gus Clock 3:00 requires 3:00 for the hidden Starr Drop, not the midnight setting used earlier. If you are following an October 3 walkthrough, it may be correct for the main Hallway but incomplete for the October 5 return visit.

This is also why Find Gus Clock 3:00 can appear solved before you find the new secret. Stage 2 completion does not remove the object. Once the Laboratory lightgun exists, the candle above the radio becomes relevant and gives the repaired clock a second purpose. The new reward is optional and separate from the Chaos Drop you already earned for finishing the Hallway story.

What if the candle does not light?

First confirm that you are carrying the actual Laboratory lightgun. The Find Gus Clock 3:00 interaction depends on the tool assembled from the three parts around the Laboratory’s right-hand workbench. Finishing the earlier Entrance and Hallway rooms cannot substitute for it. If the tool is missing, return to Stage 3 and check the electrical device beside the mixer, the tall coil on the right and the drawer beneath the bench.

If the lightgun exists but the candle still gives no useful result for Find Gus Clock 3:00, check the Hallway’s original progression. The clock should already have been repaired with its pendulum during Stage 2. A room that was only partly completed may not be in the state expected by the bonus. Finish Damian’s main route first, then return to Brawl Stars Find Gus Clock 3:00 after the room has settled into its completed state.

How to set the clock hands correctly

For Find Gus Clock 3:00, the short hour hand points directly at 3 and the long minute hand points at 12. Use the clock’s triangle controls until the face clearly shows that arrangement. Do not confuse 3:00 with 3:30, where the minute hand would point at 6. Brawl Stars Find Gus Clock 3:00 checks the exact whole-hour position before the candle interaction opens the hidden compartment.

After setting the hands, tap the lit candle rather than repeatedly tapping the clock face. The candle acts like a pull switch once it has been charged by the lightgun. The front of the grandfather clock then opens and the Starr Drop appears. Claim it before leaving the room so you know the secret has actually registered on your account.

Other Hallway reward to collect after the Laboratory

While you are back in Stage 2, use the same lightgun on the repaired radio. That unlocks Brawl Stars Find Gus Radio Channel 10, which triggers another scare and removes the closet on the right. A four-colour wall safe appears behind it. Set that new safe to Red, Yellow, Purple and White in reading order to collect 100 Power Points.

The two Stage 3 Hallway secrets are independent. You can collect the Brawl Stars Find Gus Clock 3:00 Starr Drop without opening the wall safe, and the radio reward does not require the clock compartment to be claimed first. Doing both in one visit is simply the fastest route because they share the same prerequisite: finish the Laboratory far enough to bring Belle’s lightgun back into the Hallway.
