Summary
Chronos XI is a big laser-shooting, fireball summoning, bomb-throwing clock with two large, floating hands that are capable of tearing apart the map.
It is found in the Chronos Dimension.
Background Story
Older survivors littered within the remaining pockets of humanity reminisce of a common youthful dream they had of beating up a giant clock with just pillows. Many assumed that it was just a metaphor for something, something about time being their greatest enemy in the apocalypse. However, after hearing the story repeatedly (entertainment is limited in the apocalypse after all), more and more survivors had a dream. They didn't tell each other, of course, as the dream remained childish, but eventually speaking of clocks became a rarity as everyone subconsciously avoided them. This was that dream.
A dream of a time god so powerful, he triumphs over all, with his unblinking expression, his large clock-like body, and the empty void within which he resides and rules. A time god so powerful, he seems like a Lovecraftian Elder God.
Time is ticking.
Your brethren will fall, one by one.
Everything that you fight for remains insignificant.
For what you fight for, others suffer for it.
There is no escape from the insanity. No words. No redemptions. Only actions.

Tips
- Pay attention to the sound that plays when he uses his slam attack, its animation is short and can easily lead to your death.
- Always move while you shoot! You can even jump on falling ground, but if caught off guard because you're standing still, your chances of survival are drastically lowered.
- Watch out for trollers who like to put a Propane right in front of your face while you're shooting. Moving makes it harder for the trollers.
- Try and stay behind Chronos, but be ready as he turns very fast.
- Sometimes Chronos will turn around and perform his Slam but instantly preform Spinning Bomb, failing to complete his animation. Be prepared for the ground to be destroyed by seemingly nothing.
- There are NO weak spots on Chronos XI.
- The hole is nothing but an aesthetic look.
- Don't automatically shoot Chronos XI when you spawn, he will have a forcefield for the first couple seconds of the round starting.
- The forcefield will disappear when Chronos XI uses his first Laser Storm attack.
- It is a good idea to save up your stamina until Chronos XI launches one of his attacks. Using your stamina for sprinting is not a good idea, as there is a chance that Chronos XI could use his Slam attack to wipe you out when you have low stamina.
- Never stay near Chronos XI, the Laser Storm will kill you.
- However, there is a rather small area where you can stand near him, and not get killed, while still being on his pedestal. But this is extremely hard to get right, and it's not recommended to do this since Chronos XI can knock you off with his hands.
- Third-person mode increases surrounding awareness, remember to use it to your advantage!
- When Chronos XI unleashes the Fire Storm, you can stand on the platform he is standing on.
- After the Fire Storm attack, try to get off his platform right after the attack is over in case he uses the Laser Storm attack.
- Chronos XI will throw classic sphere bombs around the map which break up the ground. Try to run away as soon as you see him spinning around and holding the bombs!
- You can stand on the platform Chronos XI is standing on during this attack.
- Quickly get away from where the bombs will detonate, or else you'll fall into the void
- The bombs will explode upon impact with the ground, meaning you have to be really careful.
- Sometimes they will explode extremely close to Chronos XI, which means almost none of the platforms will be destroyed.
- The bombs will only break the ground though. You don't have to worry about the knockback.
- The edge of the map is the safest place as the bombs will most likely not reach that far.
- Bringing the Tactical II vest or Scout armor may come in handy as they give extra stamina for dodging attacks from Chronos XI.
- The bombs will explode upon impact with the ground, meaning you have to be really careful.
- Bring automatic guns that can be refilled, especially the M249 if you have it, and the Steyr M as a secondary as the Minigun cannot be refilled, so you want a gun that is sustainable in the long run.
- Only do this when the server is relatively inexperienced - experienced players will enable you to bring many Miniguns, ending the fight quickly before ammo runs out. Inexperienced players will lead to you running out of ammo before Chronos XI dying.
- Wearing Tactical I or Bulldozer I is useful when you use an ammo-draining gun, and there aren't any Ammo Stations nearby. It allows you to shoot for longer.
- You could save the Minigun when the boss reaches his rage mode, to finish the fight more easily.
- You can also bring the Bandolier to get one extra clip for the Minigun.
- Whenever Chronos XI gets to very low health, he will crouch and then do Laser Storm which heals him.
- After he does this, he becomes much more aggressive and active.
- Most of his moves will destroy usually destroy more than 75% of the map.
- His Laser Beam attack will often lag the map, causing the blocks to randomly disappear a few seconds after the attack has ended. If you are damaged by the lasers, then chances are, the blocks under you will fall.
- It is best to finish off Chronos XI at low health to avoid his rage mode by attacking at his Spinning Bomb move.
- If Chronos XI uses his Laser Beam attack, you can try to dodge it by repeatedly jumping and moving until you land on a stable piece of his arena.
- Attempting to bring a Hammer will turn the Hammer into Vitamins.
- Chronos XI is the only boss that does not have Explosive Immunity, as confirmed by multiple videos and PlaceRebuilder himself.
- Despite popular belief, every other boss after and before Chronos XI do have an Explosive Immunity.
- Chronos XI attacks are completely random. Remember that it doesn't matter if you shoot or not, he will still attack you.
- The Laser Beam attack prior to rage mode will go from one direction to another and back.
- When going back, the Laser travels farther than the first swipe, so keep that in mind.
- The Jetpack will make the fight much easier due to the fact most of his attacks are about falling into the void.
- The Pumpkin Bot is recommended on this boss as it can allow for more damage when you have run out of ammo.
- Similarly, equipping the Duck Mount is highly recommended (even more so than the Pumpkin Bot, provided you have no shortage of ammo) as the jump ability can be used to easily traverse the highly destructible map.
- The Toy Plane mount is also effective, and can be used to avoid any attacks for a short period of time, provided there is enough space to both take off and land.
- Similarly, equipping the Duck Mount is highly recommended (even more so than the Pumpkin Bot, provided you have no shortage of ammo) as the jump ability can be used to easily traverse the highly destructible map.
