All DLC Collectibles In Doctor Who: The Edge of Time, Explained – TheGamer

Ever since it first aired in 1963, Doctor Who has been a staple of television, books, audio dramas, comics and videos worldwide. Following the adventures of a time-travelling alien in a big blue box with a broken camouflage setting,the show has survived as long as it has by switching up the entire cast whenever needed including thirteen different lead characters who are all the same person. It is, as the show is fond of saying - very "wibbly wobbly, timey wimey"!

Doctor Who's big event to keep us all going in the very long year that has been 2020 is the multimedia event 'Time Lord Victorious'. This series has spanned every media that Doctor Who has to offer and even a few new ones! including DLC for the 2019 released VR game 'The Edge of Time'. Here is a guide to all of the Easter Egg collectibles, and where they come from in time and relative dimensions in space.

This is probably one of the collectibles that needs no introduction. If you've watched any Doctor Who at all, you'll probably recognize the toilet plunger manipulator arm of a Dalek relatively quickly. This one, however, is a little bit more like a claw. You should be able to find it with little difficulty near the area where the barrel rolls from in Chapter 2.

Voiced by Nicholas Briggs, the Daleks are one of Doctor Who's iconic villains and have been around since their debut in"The Dead Planet" in 1963; back in Doctor Who's first season! From the planet Skaro, they are devolved organisms called Kaleds who must exist in protective (and violent) metal casings, and are best known for their catch-phrase "EXTERMINATE!"

The Ood are a more modern Doctor Who alien, first appearing in"The Impossible Planet" in 2008. At first glance, this collectible won't look like anything special at all, but imagine it with a tube coming out of it and in the hand of our of these polite, eldritch beings. Got that image in your head? That's right it's an Ood translation sphere, found not too far from the Dalek arm in Chapter 2.

This one in particular comes from an Ood named Brian, who is a little different to others of his kind; although still very helpful, he is also a "ruthless killer". Introduced in the 2020 short story "The Guide to the Dark Times", hedeveloped a split personality between himself and his translation sphere, 'Mr Ball'. He has met with both the Eighth and the Tenth Doctor, and considers the latter to be the closest thing he could have to a friend.

While the writers of Doctor Who often come up with creative names like Raxacoricofallapatorius and Baaraddelskelliumfatrexius beasts, the Time Lords of Gallifrey are not often so colorful with their choices. A perhaps disproportionate number of objects on Gallifrey have the suffix '-of Rassilon', including the Black Scrolls... of Rassilon.

Held in the Tomb of Rassilon and marked with the Seal of Rassilon, these scrolls (first seen in the 1983 serial "The Five Doctors") contain forbidden knowledge from the days before Gallifrey's better known technological heyday. They are, however, not well guarded, which is likely why they can be found in Chapter 2 at the bottom of the lifts; the Master and River Song have both stolen them in the past.

The Doctor himself is not a great fan of convention, but across Classic Doctor Who and in some scenes in the reboot, Time Lords are often seen wearing immense ceremonial collars that look more than a little starched and uncomfortable. Like their robes, these are color-coordinated to match the six different Chapters on Gallifrey; the Prydonians, Arcalians, Ceruleans, Dromeians, Patrexians and Scendelesions.

In "The Edge of Time", this collectible can be found just before the room in Chapter 2 that contains the sleeping Zlysters. These collars hold ritualistic importance, and are a big part of how classic fans picture Time Lords David Tennant, who played the Tenth Doctor, got a chance to try one on during the filming of 2009's "The End of Time" two-parter.

In the Doctor Who universe there are vampires, and there are Vampires. One of the deeds that Rassilon is famous for in the Dark Ages of Gallifrey is the so-called eradication of the Vampires or Yssgaroth, although the Great Vampire got away; in every TARDIS manual, there is a standing note to execute him on sight. Of course, the Doctor finished the job.

With the Vampires' resurgence in "Time Lord Victorious" multi-media arc taking place this year, we learn a little bit about exactly how deadly they can be. And since Rose Tyler has been taken by them, it isn't much surprise that he has a special sonic stake put aside on the mantlepiece in Chapter 3.

Your average Dalek is dangerous in three places; it's brain, it's manipulator arm and most terrifyingly, it's gunstick. Fans of Doctor Who both young and old will recognize the buzz and blue glow of somebody being dematerialized or shot down by a Dalek gun, and very few people ever get back up again if they're hit. (Prominent exceptions include the Doctor, who is narrative armor, and Captain Jack Harkness who... got better. It's complicated.)

In chapter 3, pay attention to the bookshelves when you're collecting candles you'll find the gunstick underneath the third one, and if you're focusing on the mission, it can be easy to pass by.It's a pretty goodguess the Doctor has this one hanging around from his encounters with the Daleks during the Time War...

UNIT rebranded in 2008's episode 'The Sontaran Stratagem' as the Unified Intelligence Task Force is one of the Men in Black-like organizations running around the Doctor Who universe and dealing with aliens when the titular character is busy (and sometimes with him).First introduced in the 1982 episode 'The Invasion', they are a military force to identify and combat alien threats to Earth.

2020's '14682 UNIT Field Log' webcast introduces one of their staff by name; Sergeant Robert Dudley.Part of a team that was monitoring the Time Fracture anomaly created when the Tenth Doctor declared himself "Time Lord Victorious", he was swallowed up by the rift.You can find his file, if you've got a good eye, in Chapter 4 after your first encounter with a Dalek.

First seen in the short story 'The Dawn of the Kotturuh' published in 2020, the Kotturuh are an immortal race capable of altering the natural lifespan of other species. With purple skin, oozing eyes and a very Cthulhu-esque lower half, be grateful that they typically wear robes that cover their body.

The Judgement Stone of the Kotturuh can be found in Chapter 4 on the grand steps up to the bit where you get a bit up close and personal with a Dalek. It features in the Big Finish audio 'Lesser Evils' featuringThe Master, which is a very genre-defying story where the famous Time Lord is not up to his usual tricks.
