For those tackling the "Inventing the Past" quests (part of Week 2's "Echoes of Time"), you'll need Plathinum and Ironyum for Emit. Unlike previous hunts, this one's straightforward.

Finding Plathinum and Ironyum is identical to finding the Special Time Capsule. Look for areas with rocks and dirt mounds—parks are ideal. Pause the game to carefully scan your surroundings. Once spotted, simply walk over and dig. It might take a few attempts, but you'll eventually unearth Plathinum and Ironyum, unlocking the next quest: building the Time Travel Component.

If you're struggling to find suitable digging spots, speeding up time can help generate more rocks and dirt mounds. However, avoid spending too long in fast-forward mode, as you might miss your chance to dig.
