The Brass Lantern, Ancient Amulet, and Fragile Hourglass are three of Halloween: The Game’s mystery items, none of which the game explains very well. It slows down Michael and even when you throw it while he’s knocked down, this causes him to stay down a little bit longer, which gives you time to detain him or escape. Now let’s dig a little bit more into it.

What Does the Fragile Hourglass Do in Halloween: The Game?
The Fragile Hourglass is hands down one of Halloween: The Game’s most useful mystery items because it gives you the upper hand when confronted by Michael Myers. If you throw the Hourglass near Michael, it produces some sort of a gas or fog effect that slows him while he’s getting closer.
That’s not all, though. When you knock Michael down, it prevents him from immediately getting back up, which gives you all the time in the world to prep for detaining Michael or even escape. It can also reveal nearby escape items within a 10-meter radius and that’s a plus when you’re searching for items and whatnot.
Where to Find the Fragile Hourglass in Halloween: The Game
The Fragile Hourglass appears to be a rare mystery item that can spawn around different spots across the map. So it’s more like RNG-based, really. Always make sure to check out cabinets and tables inside the houses as you’re searching for the other items. The good news is that more than one Fragile Hourglass can appear in different matches.
At the end of the day, when it comes to the Fragile Hourglass in Halloween: The Game, you get the upper hand with it when you’re looking to locate escape items and kind of buy yourself a little extra time when Michael gets too close.
It doesn’t guarantee your safety, that much is obvious. But once you understand how it actually works, especially when you use it after knocking Michael down, it can become one of the most useful items you can have when you’re trying to survive or arrest him.
