Delivering the Pendulum is a talk-only step in the middle of the Ludibrium Clocktower chain. The Ludibrium Clocktower has stopped, and Olson the Toy Soldier on the 100th floor of Eos Tower asks you to take the Pendulum to Grandpa Clock deep in the clocktower. Once Grandpa Clock has put it back, he sends you back up to Olson, and all you do is talk to him.
The clocktower chain
- The Broken Clocktower (Olson the Toy Soldier, Eos Tower 100th Floor, level 33): bring the Pendulum to Grandpa Clock in Lost Time <1>. Olson's journal says the Pendulum comes from the monster disguised as a dollhouse. No reward of its own.
- Grandpa Clock's Crisis (Grandpa Clock, level 33): bring him 1 All-purpose Clock Spring from the Tick-Tock monsters. 45,000 EXP. The spring drops only while this quest is active, about 0.7% per Tick-Tock (the level 40 and level 84 Tick-Tocks both carry it).
- Delivering the Pendulum (Grandpa Clock, level 33): he fits the Pendulum and asks you to tell Olson. Go back up to Olson and talk to him. The reward is listed below.
- The Clocktower Headache (Grandpa Clock, level 34): defeat 80 Ticks. 32,000 EXP and 120 Blue Pills.
- The Clock Workers' Batteries (Grandpa Clock, level 39) continues the line.
Different from the original game Grandpa Clock's Crisis pays 45,000 EXP, where the original game paid 4,000 EXP. The Clocktower Headache pays 32,000 EXP, where the original game paid 7,000 EXP.
Walkthrough
- Talk to Grandpa Clock in Lost Time <1> and accept the quest. There is nothing to carry.
- Go up to the Eos Tower 100th Floor.
- Talk to Olson the Toy Soldier. If he shows a menu, pick Delivering the Pendulum from his quest list. His row "Ask about the Doll's House" is his usual Doll's House service and does not finish the quest.
- Olson asks you to choose a scroll. Pick one; the success rate is 60% for every scroll on the list.

Common problems
- "Olson only opens his menu." Pick Delivering the Pendulum from his quest list, not "Ask about the Doll's House"; talking to him is the whole hand-in.
- "Grandpa Clock won't give me the quest." Finish Grandpa Clock's Crisis (the All-purpose Clock Spring) first.
- "The All-purpose Clock Spring never drops." It only drops while Grandpa Clock's Crisis is active, and it is rare.
- Other talk-to-NPC hand-ins were fixed the same way: Moony in Amoria, Cassandra, Zhen Long and Mr. Jo in Yu Garden, Fabio in Edelstein and Wang Ching Ying now accept a talk step on the first talk too.
