How do you close Hell Is Us Timeloops? Those ominous black orbs greet you when entering most areas, and as it turns out, closing them is pretty important. A mass of intense negative emotion, Timeloops are the reason that Hollows are allowed to respawn even after you dispatch them, so it's vital that you find a way to dispel these anomalies.
You have to juggle a lot in Hell Is Us: mysteries are around every corner, good deeds won't do themselves, and of course, there's the whole Calamity thing you should be worrying about. Part of making the world a better place is closing Timeloops, and we have all the information you could need.
The Hell Is Us Timeloops are those black, spiked spheres that you can see in each of the game's areas. They are ground zero for an act of incredible violence and hatred, and are also the reason that enemies can respawn in that particular area. You can enter a Timeloop to shut it down, but there are a few things you'll need to do first: kill all of the Timeloop Guardians in that area, and have the corresponding Amine Prism on hand.
You won't be able to enter the Timeloop until the Timeloop Guardians have been dispatched. Timeloop Guardians are not visually distinct, and initially, you'll only know that one has been defeated by the pop-up message after you're victorious. Eventually, you can pick up a Guardian Detector from Gildas at the Watcher's Nest that will point you toward the nearest Timeloop Guardian.
Once all of the Timeloop Guardians have been defeated and you're able to enter the Timeloop itself, a scene will play out in front of you. Walking too far toward the scene will cause damage, and eventually death, so keep your distance.
To close the Timeloop, you must interact with your drone and use the corresponding Amine Prism from your inventory. Your drone will drop the prism onto the scene, closing the Timeloop once and for all. Occasionally, you will have to fight a boss once the Timeloop has closed, and you will be rewarded with Glyphs and Relics upon completion.
Each Timeloop corresponds with a different Aime Prism, of which there are three types: Rho, Sigma, and Theta.
