If the Ancient One wakes during the Resolution Phase, is its midnight attack resolved before the final battle?

The rulebook sends the awakened player to the Clock phase, and the midnight rule follows from it.

No. Midnight is only checked in the Clock phase, and an awakening during the Resolution Phase sends that player straight to the Clock phase of the turn. The clock advances then, and the Ancient One attacks only if the clock reaches midnight. Otherwise the battle begins on the next player's turn.
