Unstable Watch

The Unstable Watch is a item in Risk of Rain that can pause time for 7 seconds.

Item Synergies
Using Unstable Watch with 8 Rapid Mitosises shortens waiting time to 6.7 seconds which makes it possible to freeze time forever. Considering this, runs with Command artifact are significantly easier. Remember that Providence's second phase (Wurms) is immune to this effect!

Bugs
In multiplayer, if one player dies and the other uses this item near their corpse, the dead player's character will appear temporarily as if alive, but unable to move or use abilities. Disappears when effect ends.

If the Unstable Watch is activated in the same second an Imp Vanguard starts spawning (eg. exactly on the 10 minute mark), multiple portals will appear, spawning multiple Purple Imps and Imp Vanguards. Be careful if you decide to do this as a massive group of imp spawns, if killed all at once with Area of Effect damage can cause the game to crash due to too many entities being spawned at once.

After the Providence fight if the player uses the item and activates the teleporter while under effects of the item the ticking sound will continue throughout the final scene, the credits and the main menu. The sound will play until you start a new game which will stop the ticking sound as if the 7 seconds was over and slowly start playing the level music however the game can still glitch out such as spawning bosses and some parts of the stage may not load correctly allowing one to pass through some platforms and the ground sometimes making the teleporter unreachable.
