Remember “You don’t have to steal, just ask.” - B.O.F.III -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= INTRODUCTION =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Hello everyone! Welcome to my very first walkthrough/FAQ. I decided to create one for myself for many reasons, I want to prove that I can beat a game efficiently, I also want to prove that I can create a good Walkthrough/FAQ, and I also want to share to others what I have done and what have I seen so far regarding the game. I hope I can create this Walkthrough/FAQ well so that you won’t get lost in the game. Honestly, I prefer not to play a game from the beginning to the end using a walkthrough. Just play the game and if you somehow left yourself trapped or stuck in a particular place/event in the game, use this guide to help you. Let’s talk about the game itself. In my opinion, Chrono Trigger is the best RPG ever to appear in the Super Nintendo Entertainment System Console. It has the best sound track of an RPG game in the SNES console. And the storyline of the game is excellent. You’ll feel you’re a part of the game. Each character has his/her own story, and time periods as well. The story might not be clear at the beginning, but once you play through the game, you’ll see how good the story square came up with for Chrono Trigger. In the game, you’ll start off with Crono, a young boy from Truce Village. You’ll wake up at his house. He will go to Leene’s Square to meet his friend Lucca. When suddenly destiny calls upon him by receiving the pendant from a girl named Marle. Thus, the adventures of Crono and his friends through time begin. I won’t spoil the rest of the story for you so you’ll enjoy the game. One last thing, if you find any error at all, wrong places, wrong amount/item/equipments’ descriptions, grammatical errors, etc., please e-mail it to me so I can repair it and post it at once. Thank you and enjoy playing Chrono Trigger. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= CONTENTS =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- i. E-mail Policy I. Updates/Revisions II. Game Information A. Game Controls B. Game Menus C.

GAME CONTROLS ----------------- _______ _______ | L | | R | --------- __ --------- / _ \___|__|___/ \ | _| |_ X | | |_ _| Sel Start Y A | | |_| __________ B | \ / \ / --------- --------- Here’s a not so perfect but efficient image of the Super Nintendo Controller. Here are the descriptions about each button: Start Button - Start the Game - Pause the Game during play Select Button - Toggle Map L and R Buttons - Scroll down/up in menus respectively - Move Time dial in Epoch - There’s a part in the game where you use the L and R buttons to advance to the next story/event Directional Pad - Move the Characters about - Browse Menus/Inventory - Select Dialogue Options X Button - Open the Game Menu Y Button - Change/Arrange Party Members A Button - Action button (talk, examine, view, etc.) B Button - Cancel/Run - Used in Race against Johnny (booster) The XYAB buttons will also be used in various mini-games and events in the game. If you have a turbo button capable Controller then you have an advantage on the different mini-games. I.e. push “A” as fast as you can, whereas in a turbo controller, you just have to hold it. ------------- B. GAME MENUS ------------- There are various menus that you can see in the game. Push the X button to open the menu. Here are the images of these menus and what they contain and do. It’ll also explain to you how to use them. MAIN MENU - The main menu is the little horizontal bar in the middle. ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ | A | B | C | D | E | F | --- --- --- --- --- --- A. Character/Party/Game Information (Picture of Crono) B. Items C. Techs (TEC) D. Configuration (Image of a Window) E. Exchange (picture like the ones denoting recycling) F. Save Menu (Pen and Paper) CHARACTER/PARTY/GAME MENU - you can see here some information about your current party. -------------------------------------- | Char1 LV99 | ---------- Element | ->| HP 999/999 | |Picture of| | | MP 99/ 99 | |character | Name | | A200 D210 | ---------- LEVEL99 | |-------------| | | Char2 LV10 | Weapon | | HP 210/210 | Helmet | | MP 18/ 18 | Armor | | A120 D 89 | Accessory | |-------------| | | Char3 LV50 | pwr. 90 spd. 16 | | HP 850/875 | hit 24 ev. 20 | | MP 27/ 89 | mag 28 stam. 98 | | A190 D101 | M def. 90 | |-------------| | | Time 11:11 | EXP 332124 | | 12232G | NEXT 14344 | -------------------------------------- The 3 boxes to the left are the 3 characters on your party. The arrow point to the currently selected character. You can also view the other characters if you scroll down. The bottom left box shows the time and the amount of money you have. The large box contains information regarding the currently selected character. It has information regarding the character’s Level, Status, Equipments currently equipped, elemental affiliation, and Experience. If you select a character and pressed the A button, you can change the equipments of that character. Just select between the weapon, helmet, armor, accessory, what you want to change. After you’ve selected weapon, for example. You’ll be shown the different weapons you’ve acquired that are compatible for the character you chose in the left window. You can select from the weapon list which one you want to want to equip. As you browse through the weapons, the box below will tell you of the abilities of the weapons. Example, Crono’s Red Katana. The horizontal box that appears below will show “Magic + 2” which is an ability given to Crono. Therefore, Crono’s Magic stat will rise by 2. Also, when you scroll you’ll see some stats of that character become Blue or Gray. If you put the cursor beside a weapon and a stat of your character turns to blue, it means that the weapon where your cursor is, is stronger that the weapon currently equipped, so I advise pressing A button to equip it. If it turns gray, it means the opposite. It is weaker. To return back to the main menu, just press the B or Cancel button. ITEMS MENU - Here, you can see the list of items you currently have in your inventory -------------------------------- | picture Use/Move Organize | |--------------------------------| | Restores 50 HP | |--------------------------------| | -> Tonic :70 ITEM | | Mid-tonic :99 ITEM | | Full Tonic :56 ITEM | | Ether :59 ITEM | | Mid-Ether :57 ITEM | | Full Ether :53 ITEM | | Elixir :24 ITEM | | HyperEther :13 ITEM | | MegaElixir :5 ITEM | | Heal :99 ITEM | -------------------------------- After you open the items menu, the cursor will point to the top item at once. You can see in this menu the items and their quantities. You can see at second horizontal bar the description about the item that is currently selected. If you press the B or Cancel button, the cursor will move to the Use/Move option on top. You can then choose between Use/Move and Organize. If you select organize, the items will be arranged in order from items, Weapons, Armors, Helmets, and Accessories. If you select the Use/Move option, you can choose an item and arrange the items yourself. There are 3 kinds of items, one that can be used only in battles, one that can be used only out of battles, and the other one can be used anytime. There are also the special items that are necessary to the story, like Marle’s Pendant. To use an item, you must press the A button twice. If you pushed the A button once, another cursor will appear. If you move the second cursor to another item and pressed A, those items will then exchange places. So, that’s how the item menu works. TECHS MENU - In here you can view all the techniques your characters have learned so far. You can use some healing techs out of battle also --------------------------------- | char1 Lv99 | | ->| -P- HP 999/999 | 1 2 3 | | MP 99/ 99 | | | MP used |-------------| | | | | Char2 Lv99 | Cyclone | | -P- HP 999/999 | Slash | | MP 99/ 99 | *Lightning | | MP used | Spin cut | | | *Lightning2 | | Char3 Lv99 | *Life | | -P- HP 999/999 | Confuse | | MP 99/ 99 | *Luminaire | | MP used | | |---------------------------------| | Single Tech | --------------------------------- Once you’ve opened the Techs window, the cursor will point to a character. If you press left or right on the directional pad, you can view the character’s Single, Dual and Triple Techs. 1,2,3 Respectively. If you press the A button, the cursor will be brought to the Techs on the right box. You will be shown the ability and the MP requirement of the currently selected Technique. By the way, the -P- before the character is the picture of that character. You can also use some Techs out of battle. For example, Marle’s Aura Tech. Just select it from the Tech list of Marle and press A to use it. You will know if you can use a Tech out of battle if it is colored Yellow. A “*” before the Tech denotes that, that specific Tech uses Magic. CONFIGURATION MENU - you set various configurations of the game. ----------------------- | | 12345678 | | A B | b Fast Slow | | | 12345678 | | C D | d 12345678 | | | | | E F | f Off 1 2 | | | h Confirm A | | G H | Cancel B | | | Menu X | | I J | Dash B | | | Map S | | | Warp Y | |-----------------------| | | ----------------------- You can see many options here.

The lower the number highlighted, the faster it is. - to set the Speed, select B from the left box and the cursor will go to the b in the right box allowing you to modify the speed C. Battle Mode - Toggle Battle Mode to Wait/Active - “Active” mode means that the computer will not wait for you to finish your move. It will continue attacking you even while selecting an item.

While you’re attacking, selecting Items/Magic/Techs, the enemy’s bar will stop. D. Window Color - Change the color of the Menu Window E. Save Menu Cursor - The save menu cursor means the cursor will be where you left it when you exit the menu, when it is off and you exit the menus and then re-enter, it will have the character menu selected, if it was on and you were in another menu when you exited, it will then be that menu. (Thanks to Razer107@aol.com for this info) F. Battle Gauge - Select Battle Gauge type or turn it off. G. Save Battle Cursor - This is almost the same as the Save Menu Cursor. For example, you used a Tech for Crono. In Crono’s next turn, the cursor will be pointing at Tech. In short, it will point to one of the selections in the battle menu, which you used in the previous turn. (Thanks to Razer107@aol.com for this info) H. Control Pad - Toggle Standard/Custom Control Pad Configuration - The Standard configuration for the Pad is Confirm - A Cancel - B Menu - X Dash - B Map - S Warp - Y - if you select the Custom configuration, you specify your own set of configuration I. Save Skill/Item Cursor - Almost the same as the Battle Cursor, except that it will copy the items and Tech you used in the previous battle and it will be used in the next battle. Again, please correct me if I’m wrong. J. Skill/Item Info - Toggle Skill/Item Info box on/off EXCHANGE MENU - Here, all you can do is change the party members’ arrangement in battle. Hence, you can select here who will be the leader of your party. ------------------ | char1 LV99 | | HP 999/999 -p- | | MP 99/ 99 | | A100 D100 | |------------------| | char2 LV99 | | HP 999/999 -p- | | MP 99/ 99 | | A150 D 90 | |------------------| | char3 LV20 | | HP 210/210 -p- | | MP 1/ 24 | | A 75 D144 | |------------------| | EXCHANGE | ------------------ It easy to use, just select the character you want to replace and then select the other character that you want to be exchanged with the first one. SAVE MENU - Besides from saving, you can see the details of the game.

The info on the upper box tells you where you are in the story now. Example, the info one save slot 1 says “The Final Battle”, it means that you are in the Final Battle of the game. The box below will hold info about the save slot where the cursor is. You can see the Era, or the time period where it was saved. You can also see the Elapsed time, your money, and the number of saves for that particular game. On the right hand part of the lower box, the 3 party members you are currently using. That’s how the save point works/looks. -------------- C. GAME BASICS -------------- Here are the basic things you have to do in Chrono Trigger to finish the game. Moving around the world - Chrono Trigger is an RPG, so like other RPG, you have to go to places, meet new people, seek help from people, defeat the bad guys and emerge victorious. The story is so enticing that you may forget to sleep while playing. There are many ways to explore the land. You can walk, teleport, and fly. Remember while exploring and moving on through the story, get all the items you can see as every one of them will be of help to you. And last but not the least, talk to everyone to gain information on what to do next. Do this if you got stuck. If you’re really stuck even after talking to everyone, use this walkthrough. Attacking/Battle Information - Attacking is the most basic thing you have to do in almost every game today. In Chrono Trigger there are 2 types of enemies. One that will attack you only if you go near them and the other will attack you even if you don’t want to (i.e. bosses). When the battle menu appears, the battle gauge of each character will slowly fill up. Once filled, the character who owns the bar will have the opportunity to attack the enemy (there are cases where you can’t control your character even the bar is full, refer to the status ailments/abilities section later in the walkthrough. When the bar is full, you can attack, use a Tech or use an item. After that character’s turn, his/her battle gauge will be emptied. Be aware that the enemy also has his/her/it’s own battle gauge. Some enemies are so fast that they will attack you right from the start of the battle. - there are also many form of attacks that you can do. There are attacks that damage only one enemy. There are damages that affect every enemy on screen, examples are the Level 2 Magic Attacks. There are attacks that affect only enemies in a line. Example, Crono’s Slash Attack. It affects enemies that form a straight light whatever direction it may be. Equipments - Equipments will determine how strong your character can attack, how can your characters withstand an attack, and how your characters can inflict status ailments at enemies. It is essential in beating the game. So, if you happen to be in a Weapon Shop and have lots of Gs, then I suggest you buy that item/equipment/accessories. Remember also that some equipments have abilities (refer later to the Status Ailments/Abilities section). And the most important thing to remember in equipping weapons, armors, helmets, is that some of them are compatible to one character only. Example, Crono’s weapons cannot be used by anyone else. Items - Items are very important as they assist your battle when your HPs are low and there’s no healer around. Some items are so important that you can’t finish the game without it. Example, Marle’s Pendant. It will be automatically be in your inventory, but imagine if you don’t have it. You won’t be able to reach some important places in the game. ------------------- D. CHARACTER STATUS ------------------- When you open the menu, select the Character/Party/Game Information menu. You’ll see here the Status of your character. Keep in mind that Character Status is different from Status Ailments/Abilities. Refer to the Game Menu section of this walkthrough regarding the different sub-menus. Now, in the Character/Party/Game menu, you’ll see the different numbers in the lower right corner of the right box. You’ll see the following: Pwr. Spd. Hit. Ev. Mag. Stam. M Def. Pwr. Stands for Power. It determines the character’s attacking power using his/her weapon. Spd. Stands for Speed. It determines how fast the Battle gauge will fill up. The faster the Battle gauge fills, the fast the character moves. Hit. Stands for Hit Rate. It determines the probability of you characters to do a critical hit. Take note also that your characters have a success rate of 100% for physical attack. It’s just that the enemies have high evade% that your attacks will miss. Ev. Stands for Evade. It determines the chances of your character to evade attacks. If it says “99”, it means that your character has a 99% chance of evading the attack. Mag. Stands for Magic Power. It determines how strong your character’s Magic Spells are. The higher the Magic Power the bigger damage you inflict on enemies using Magic. Stam. Stands for Stamina. It determines the Physical Defense of your character from a physical attack from the enemy. M Def. Stands for Magic Defense. It determines the Magical Defense of your character from a magic attack from an enemy. Now, you know how strong your character is. Look at the EXP below. It tells you the total amount of EXP your character has gained throughout the game. Next, means the total no. of experience points needed by your character to gain a level, making him/her stronger. Take note that if any of these stats are at **. It means that it is already in it’s Maximum. Here is the Maximum Character Status in the game. Level: 99 HP: 999 MP: 99 Power: 99 Speed: 16 Hit: 99 Evade: 99 Magic: 99 Stamina: 99 Mg Defense: 99 Maximum of Character Status contributed by: Brandon Boucher (TheDOORS66@aol.com) ---------------------------- E. STATUS AILMENTS/ABILITIES ---------------------------- Status Ailments can also be called Abnormal Status in the sense that it makes your character do unnecessary moves or even lower the characters ability to fight. Status abilities, on the other hand, raise the capabilities of your characters during battle. Here are the list of Status Ailments and Abilities. STATUS AILMENTS these make your character’s life miserable. Ailments will hinder you from playing well, especially in battles. Name Effect on Character Cure/Remedy/prevention ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Confuse / A star will show up on top of Chaos The head of the confused party - Use the Heal item member. You’ll lose control of - Equip Status Ailment your character but the Battle protective equipments gauge will continue filling up. - attack that party member When it fills up, the confused to regain his sanity Character will randomly pick One of your characters, or even The enemy, then it attacks.

Stop It stops the battle gauge from - Cast Haste on that character filling halting your character’s to regain his speed. (not movement/turn. yet tested) STATUS ABILITIES Status abilities can help a lot during battle. It raises the Abilities of your characters and some alter some aspects of the game to help you. Some of them are Magic, but you can find most of them in weapons/armors/helmets and especially the accessories. Name Effect on Character ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Absorbs “x” - “x” is any type of element. Every time “x” (elem. Type) is used Hits against you, the damage will be added to your HP instead of Losing it Cuts “E” - E stands for element. Example, Fire. If a fire attack is used - by “%” against that character with the Cuts “Fire” by “50%”, that character will only obtain half, or 50% of the total damage. Evade + x - Increases the chances your characters can evade an attack by x% Haste - Increases the Speed of your character making him/her, attack and turn fast. Magic + x - Increases the character’s Magic Power by x. For the kids, here’s An example. If you see Magic + 2 then x is equal to 2. It means That x will hold the number 2 and therefore raises your character’s magic power by 2. Power + x - Increases the Physical Attack of your character by x. Protects - This will prevent your character from being infected by Status status Ailments. All ailments except for Lock All. Speed + x - Increases the Speed of your character by x. This allow your Character to attack fast. He/she will also gain more turns Than the enemy. Stamina + x - Increases the Physical Defense of your character by x. This will lower the damage from physical attacks of the enemies. Strike + x - Increases the hit Rate of the character by x. This will add to The success rate of an attack Vigor + x - The same as Stamina + x X Evade - Evade is the ability of the character to make an enemy’s attack miss. If X is equal to 2, then the Evade Status of the character will be doubled. ------------------------- F. MAGIC AND THE ELEMENTS ------------------------- As with most of the RPGs, Chrono Trigger also involves the Elements. There are 4 elements in the game, Fire, Lightning, Water/Ice (counted as 1), Shadow. Many enemies, especially bosses, are affiliated with a specific type of element. You can beat the enemy easily by using the opposite element against it. Example, a Fire elemental enemy, use Ice or Water against them to beat them easily. The same also applies for defense, example, you have to use a fire elemental armor to defend against a fire elemental attack. Be aware that you’ll see some enemies where you have to use the same element as they have to damage them. And, last but absolutely not the least. There are enemies that are impervious to Magic attacks. Here’s the list of elemental affiliations with the characters in the game. Crono - Lightning Marle - Ice Lucca - Fire Frog - Water Magus - Shadow Robo - Shadow-like (No Magic abilities) Ayla - no Magic abilities, therefore no affiliation You can learn how to use Magic when you first arrive at the End of Time. The Old Man will tell you to visit the room behind him and you’ll see Spekkio. When you first meet him, he will give your characters’ Magic. Then, he will ask your party if you want to try your magic. If you want to, you can fight him using magic only. Physical attacks are useless. He will have different a different fighting level, depending on the level of your party. If the highest level of your characters is 20 then, Spekkio will be level 20 also and will change form every 20th level. I.e. Level 1-19 he will Spekkio, Level 20-39 he will change into a different monster and will have much stronger attacks and defense. Don’t worry when you lose, the game will not be over. Your HP/MP will be fully restored but you won’t get a prize. The prize you get depends on the level of Spekkio. I’ll try to put up here the different levels of Spekkio on the next update. I’ll repeat the game again! When you face an enemy with elemental attribute, you should always use the magic that is the opposite of that enemy’s element. Example, a monster that is aligned to Fire Elemental, use an Ice Magic attack to deal a huge amount of damage to it. It’s opposite for Defense. If an enemy uses a certain elemental magic, for example Ice, if you have an armor, a helmet or an accessory that is also Water/Ice affiliated. ----------------------- G. HOW TO GET/USE TECHS ----------------------- Techs or Techniques are different abilities you can use during battle which use your MP. When you use a Tech, that character will launch a special attack on the enemy but it requires MP to be used. Example, Crono’s Luminaire, which uses up 20 MPs. If you have 19 MP left, you cannot use Luminaire. However, if it is 20 and above, you can freely use the Tech. Some techs are Magic attacks like Fire, Fire2, Ice , Ice2, etc. Each of the characters has his/her own ultimate tech. Crono has Luminaire, Lucca has Flare, Marle’s is Life2, Magus has the Dark Matter, Frog has Frog Squash, Ayla has Triple Kick, and Robo has Shock. I remind you also that majority of these ultimate techs consume 20 MPs. Marle’s and Frog’s use 15 MP and Robo’s use 17 MP. I you want to unlock a Tech of a character, you must do them in order of how powerful the Tech is. Example, you cannot unlock fire2 without fire. And, each of the Techs can be unlocked by gaining the required number of TP or Tech points during battles. If the TP required drops to 0, you’re character will learn that Tech right away. There are techs that can be combined. 2 Characters can combine their powers by using Dual Techs to deal more damage to the enemy. There are also Techs that allows all 3 of your party members to combine their power to attack the enemies. Some however require a certain item that will activate the Triple Tech. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= CHARACTER INFORMATION -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ------------------ A.

Or, if you already finished the game select the New Game+ Option (for more information about this, head to the New Game+ Information section of this Walkthrough/FAQ). After selecting, you will be asked what battle mode you want. Select active if you want challenge. The enemies here will not wait for you to finish your move. If you want a more strategic battle, select the Wait Battle Mode. This will allow you to make your move first before the enemy does. After selecting the Battle Mode. Name our Hero. For the sake of the Walkthrough, let’s use his default name, Crono. CRONO’S HOUSE (1000 AD) ----------------------- Item/s: 200G The start of the game will bring you to Crono’s room. After Crono wakes up, head down the stairs. Crono’s Mom will forget your friends’ name. For this walkthrough, let’s use her default name, Lucca. Talk to Crono's Mom again before leaving the house for 200G allowance. Exit Crono's House to the World Map. MAYOR’S MANOR (1000 AD) ----------------------- Item/s: 100G 300G Tonic Go southwest a little to one of the houses, and enter the Mayor's Manor. You can learn about Weapons and Items, save points, use of shelters, Techniques or Techs, and tips about how the battle system works and how to use the buttons by speaking to the different people here. Before leaving the manor, take the Tonic in a chest in the lower floor and take the money (100G) inside the chest on the second floor. Don’t forget to talk to the man in the middle TWICE and he’ll give you 300G. (Thanks to Brandon Boucher for the info) Return to World Map. LEENE’S SQUARE (1000 AD) ------------------------ You may visit the other houses to gain more info or just talk. Then, head to the north of Crono's house to Leene’s Square. There are A LOT of things that you can do here in Leene Square. Upon entering, you may be wondering why you couldn't talk to a few characters that are running around (they are busy racing against each other so they won’t bother talking to you). There are also stalls here that sell items, equipment, and accessories. Also, remember that the currency that Leene Square uses is silver points. You can obtain silver points by winning them from the different fun mini-games. First of all, don't talk to anyone yet and head north to the next section of Leene Square. Walk up to the girl that is running around Leene's Bell. Upon bumping into her, check up on her first then take the pendant. Talk to her and let’s name her Marle, which is the her default name. Return her pendant and let her join you. Upon joining, you can now have fun in Leene Square. Note: don't talk to anyone yet. Here are the mini-games that you may play here at Leene’s Square that includes the rules and the requirements in playing. 1. Ring the Bell! Found in the Southwestern portion of the first section of Leene’s Square. Your goal is to time it right that Crono can ring the bell. If you win, you’ll receive 1 Silver Point. Note that this is the second easiest game here at Leene’s Square. 2. Guess the Winner! It can be found in the first section of Leene’s Square. Talk to the person standing in the blue tent, which is to the right of the fountain In the middle. He will let you guess who will be the winner in the next race. The racers’ names are, G.I. Jogger (G.I. Joe), Steel Runner (Armored Knight), Green Ambler (Alien), and Catalack (a Cat!). If you try to talk to him while the race is going on, he will not entertain you. Wait for the race to finish before talking to the man. If you win the man will give you 20 Silver Points as a prize. It’s hard to guess who the winner is, right? Notice the old man near the Starting Line? He will guess who the winner will be in the next race. He will sometimes be wrong but most probably, he will make a correct guess. So, if you’re tired of guessing, talk to the old geezer BEFORE A RACE for a hint. 3. Norstein Bekkler’s Lab Located in the eastern portion of the first section of Leene’s Square. It is in a large pink tent with a skull at the entrance. This place is pure fun. First, select the amount of silver points you want to bet. 10, 40, or 80 Silver Points can be placed as bet. At 10 Silver Points, you get to play a game where you must find a certain person among the 3. They are Vicks, Wedge, and Piette. They will change places fast. To have an advantage, memorize 2 persons only. Example, watch Vicks and Wedge’s movement. When the clown asks you where Vicks or Wedge, you’ll be able to identify the 2. The one whom you didn’t follow his movement will be Piette. If you win, you’ll get a Poyozo Doll to use as decoration for Crono’s House. Note that these Poyozo Dolls play a major role in the late part of the game. It does not necessarily mean that the Poyozo Dolls in Crono’s house will play that important part, you will eventually encounter more Poyozo Dolls on the way. Note also, that the Poyozo Dolls on the second floor of Crono’s house will change the music if you examine it. Tip: Pick the Soldier that is farthest from the two. Credit goes to Brandon Boucher. At 40 Silver Points, you get to play a mimic game. All you have to do is to Mimic or Copy the movement of the clone using the designated buttons, L=Left Arm, R=Right Arm, Y=Laugh, A=Surprise. If you managed to mimic everything, you’ll win a Clone of Crono that you can use also to decorate Crono’s House. Take note that this Clone will play a MAJOR role in the game. If you think hard you’ll know it. At 80 Silver Points, you get to play a Push the monster game. Your goal in this game is to prevent your character, who is hanged just above a flame, and push the 3 coins to be able to put monsters into the door at the back. It’s very challenging. You’re pushing the coins at the same time preventing your character from being fried. If you see a blue light Appear at your left side, examine it to raise the rope a bit, then continue pushing those monsters back. If you win, you’ll get a cat. These cats will be brought to Crono’s House. You can win as many cats as you want. When you go to Crono’s house, you’ll see all the cats you’ve won roaming around the house. 4. Soda Guzzling Contest This is found in the eastern portion of the second section of Leene’s Square. Your goal is to drink up 8 cans of Soda within a certain time limit. Press the A button as fast as you can to drink the cans. Turbo enabled controllers have the advantage here. All they have to do is to hold the A button, therefore making this game the easiest one. If you managed to drink the 8 cans, you’ll receive 5 Silver Points. 5. Beat Gato! In the second section of Leene’s Square, head all the way to the west past the old man until you reach Lucca’s Demo Robot, Gato. This mini- game will train your characters in battle. If you managed to beat Gato, which I’m sure you will, you’ll receive 10 Experience Points and 15 Silver Points. All you have to do is to attack! If you lose, play Another game! Just kidding. :) (Note: If you return here with Ayla, You can charm Gato and receive a Power Meal) Now, back to the walkthrough. After you’ve played these mini-games, you can visit the Tribal Dance. It is located to the Northeast of the second section of Leene’s Square. You can push the buttons to make your characters dance, laugh, and even surprise them. Now, there are certain things at Leene’s Square that you can do that will affect a certain event later in the game. You can do them in any order you want, but this is the best way, I think. 1. Go to Melchior (Weapons Merchant and Swordsmith in the first section of Leene’s Square) who is near a woman. Talk to the woman first then talk to Melchior. He’ll sell his items to you then he will ask if you could persuade Marle into selling her pendant. Say NO! 2. In the western area of the 2nd section, you'll see and old man walking and a pack of lunch/food on a table. Don't ever take it. Just leave it there because you might actually be tempted to get it. 3. Head to the Eastern area of the 2nd Section, you'll find a girl who lost her cat. Remember a cat near the old man? Examine it and you'll hear a mew. It will then follow you wherever you go. Lead it to the girl then talk to the girl and she’ll be glad to have her cat back. Back to the main story. Head to the fountain at the center of the 1st section of Leene’s Square. Talk to the girl sitting there. After talking to her, it will be announced that Lucca and her dad finished their invention. Go north to the 2nd section. Head north. Upon reaching the stairs to the 3rd section, Marle will tell you that she wants to buy some candies. While she is buying the candies, don't push a single button. In other words, don't even try to move away from her while she is busy buying the candy. This certain event will also affect the same event in the later part of the game (the one I talked about a while ago regarding those 3 things you need to do). Then, after buying the candies head north to the 3rd section. Upon reaching the 3rd section, you'll see the introduction of Taban about their invention, the teleportation device (wow! I ought to have one!). Upon regaining control of your characters, talk to Lucca. You will be asked by her to try out their invention. Step into the left pod. All goes well (by the way, you can try and try the device to your hearts’ content). Note: If you are in the New Game+ Mode, you’ll notice a shining dot in the right pod of Lucca’s Device. If you examine it now, you’ll fight Lavos right away in the hardest level of the game. You have to fight Lavos ALONE. :) There’s a new ending waiting for you if you do this. Check out Ending #2. Then talk to Marle. When Marle tries the device something wrong happens. Her pendant reacts to the device and a portal or a gate will appear and will suck her into it. Upon regaining control of Crono, step into the left pod and take the pendant. Crono then decides to follow Marle to find out what happened to her. Lucca tells Crono that she will follow them later after she discovers what caused this event. Crono will be sucked into the gate and will travel through time! Now the real adventure of Crono will begin! TRUCE CANYON (600 AD) --------------------- Item/s: Tonic Power Glove Upon exiting the gate, you will be greeted by 3 imps. You can easily beat them w/ normal attacks. No problem at all. Head northwest to the next section. You will meet a batch of 2 Imps. It’s easy. There are also items that can be found in this area. A Tonic and a Power Glove. When you see imps playing, just pass through them quietly. Don’t go near them and they’ll not attack you. Just head south to exit to the World Map. You’ll see that the place is different from your time, 1000 AD because you’re in 600 AD! GUARDIA KINGDOM (600 AD) ------------------------ You can visit the residents of Truce Village. You can buy equipments/item from the Market. You can also see Lucca’s ancestors in one of the residences here. You can see them forging Leene’s Bell (w/c you saw at Leene’s Square 1000 AD). After talking to the villagers and buying anything you want, head to the Guardia Forest just south of the Castle. NOTE: Don’t go to the bridge as you can’t pass through here yet. Also, don’t go to the cathedral yet. GUARDIA FOREST (600 AD) ----------------------- Item/s: Power Tab Shelter There are also many item’s here. At the first intersection, head left. At the next intersection, w/c is almost right after the first one, head to the lower path. There are two shining dots here. The Northern one contains a Power Tab as for the southern one, you’ll just invite 2 Roly riders. After getting the Power Tab head back to the intersection and take the upper path. Don’t mind the left path of the first intersection, it will meet with the north path of the second intersection. While walking, you’ll notice 2 bushes that are moving. The one on the right will house a monkey-like monster w/c will give you a shelter. You can always exit to the World Map and return here and get another shelter from him and as many time as you like. The other moving bush has monster in it. So ignore it, or fight it for EXP. Next, continue on until you come to another intersection where one path is to the north and the other to the east. Head to the north, the east past only contains a sealed chest. Exit to the World Map. GUARDIA CASTLE (600 AD) ----------------------- Item/s: Tonic Ether 100G Bronze Mail Upon entering the castle the guards will stop you when suddenly a familiar person will come and lets you pass (it’s so obvious who she is). In the throne room, talk to King Guardia XXI. He will give you permission to sleep in the Knight’s Quarters that is to the left of the entrance then go down the stairs you’ll see. The other path will lead you to the kitchen. After resting, if necessary, head to the throne room and take the right path up to the Queen’s Room. On your way up, you’ll see a chest with a Tonic. Upon reaching the Room of the Queen, talk to the guard and he will give you access to the room. Take the chest with an Ether first then, head to the queen and talk to her. Then, Marle will feel something then she will disappear! She ceases to exists! After Marle disappears, head down to the throne room. On the way, you’ll meet with Lucca. She will tell you that Marle is actually Princess Nadia of the Guardia Kingdom in 1000 AD. And she was mistaken as Queen Leene therefore the King stopped the search for the real Queen Leene w/c is actually held captive somewhere. Lucca explains that Marle disappeared because Queen Leene will be killed by the hostage-takers because they will think that the King has no more interest in rescuing the Queen in which the king only mistook Marle for her. So Marle do not exist anymore (whaaa!). So your mission now is to look for the missing Queen Leene to save both her and Marle. Before leaving the castle, be sure to take a rest at the Knight’s Quarters. Also, to the left of the throne room, there’s a set of stairs leading to the Kings room. On the way, you’ll find a chest with 100G, then you’ll see a sealed chest w/c you can’t do anything right now, and finally a Bronze Mail in the King’s room. You may now exit to the World Map. GUARDIA FOREST (600 AD) ----------------------- Item/s: Shelter There's nothing much here as you have been here already. Just take another shelter then head south and exit to the World Map. CATHEDRAL (600 AD) ------------------ Item/s: Revive Power Tab Shelter 3 Tonics 100G Iron Sword Maiden Suit Speed Belt Mid-Ether 2 Ethers Defender Steel Saber Heal In the World Map, head west to another forest which fortunately, you can pass freely. Enter the Cathedral. Upon entering, it seems like the ordinary church with nuns. But observe the statements of those nuns, they’re not nun-like at all. Speak to them all then examine the shining dot at the altar, which is the coral pin of the real Queen Leene. Then, the nuns reveal themselves as Naga- ettes and will attack your party. After you beat them, another will come in to surprise Lucca. A Frog will then come to Lucca’s rescue. Go with him and name him Frog. After joining, check the organ to open a passageway. Upon entering, ignore the door to your north and head left. Get the 2 chests with Revive and Tonic. Enter the next door you see then head up the stairs and enter the room right after the stairs. Get the Maiden Suit, Tonic, and Ether. Then examine the egg-like thing on the left of the room w/c is a Naga-Ette Bromide. 3 Henches will attack you. Beat them then exit the room. Don’t go down the stairs, head right then up to a chest with Steel Saber. Head left to the spikes and examine the skull to the left. The spikes will be removed and you can now enter the door. Talk to the guard then take the Shining Power Tab. Exit the room then head back the stairs and go down. Don’t enter the door, go left past the Main Hall Way. Head up the next set of stairs. Enter the first door you see and talk to all 3 of the creatures here. Talk to them until the Diablos leaves the room to go to Magus’ Statue. Follow it. Upon entering a room, talk to the king, the soldier, and the queen. After talking to them, get the chests for 100G and Ether. Head to the right door to enter Magus’ statue. Get the chests for Speed Belt and Defender Accessories. Leave the 2 rooms. If you try to leave the room of the king, they’ll turn to Gnashers and attacks you. Head down the stairs and pass through the Main Hallway and enter the door on top. In the next room, use the Save Point. Head up the stairs, don’t enter the door and head left. Get the Chest for a shelter then use the stairs down. Enter the door. In the next room, (with bats) don’t examine the Skull because it will invite 2 more bats. Enter the north door. Move on and get the Tonic and Heal inside the chests. Continue left then down one room wherein you’ll see another room with a skull. Examine it to lower the spikes. Then, head down one room and go up the stairs. Take the door in the middle (I suggest you save). Defeat the monsters and take the chest for an Iron Sword. Examine the organ to reveal a room on the north side of this area that is beside a note. You can take any of the 2 stairs to reach that door. Upon entering the door, you’ll reach another hallway. Follow it then use the Save Point. Enter the Door. Meet the first boss: Boss: YAKRA ############################################################################# HP: 900-1000 EXP: 50 TP: 5 G: 600 Charmed Item: not possible To beat him, use Crono and Frog’s Dual Tech X Strike to deal a big damage to him. Use items with Lucca to heal everyone. If everyone’s HP goes down, Let everyone use Tonics then continue on with X Strike until he dies. ############################################################################# //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// / Please take note that the HP of the bosses are my estimates only, I \ / computed the total damage I did to the boss until it died. So, these \ / HPs are enough to beat that particular boss. \ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ After beating him, get the right chest for a Mid-Ether. Check the other chest, which contains the real Chancellor. Talk to Queen Leene Afterwards then you’ll be back automatically to Guardia Castle. GUARDIA CASTLE (600 AD) ----------------------- You’ll start off in the throne room with the King, Queen, and the Chancellor. After Frog leaves, talk to Queen Leene. She’ll ask you about Marle. Return to where Marle disappeared. After Marle reappears, answer her back with the “Wrong!” Option. I think it also affects a future event. After Marle joins you, go back to the throne room and talk to everyone to hear their reactions about Marle. Then, exit and you’ll see Frog. After Frog leaves (again), take a time to rest in the Knight’s Quarters for free. Then, exit the Castle to the World Map. GUARDIA FOREST (600 AD) ----------------------- Item/s: Shelter Again, take the Shelter from the monster! Exit to World Map. It’s now time to return to the present time. TRUCE CANYON (600 AD) --------------------- Go to Truce Canyon and go to where the portal is. Lucca will show off his gate key that can open these portals so it can be used if needed. You’ll then teleport back to Leene’s Square 1000 AD. LEENE’S SQUARE (1000 AD) ------------------------ Once back, Lucca will leave and Marle will ask you if you can escort her home. After regaining control of your characters, you can play with the games as much as you want, then afterwards exit to the World Map. Note: If you’re in the new game+ mode, you can examine the shining dot in the right pod of Lucca’s Device to fight Lavos. You’ll fight Lavos with Crono and Marle only. The ending here will be quite amusing. Check out Ending #3. MARKET (TRUCE VILLAGE 1000 AD) ------------------------------ You’ll find new equipments here to buy them if you have the G. Exit to the World Map. MAYOR’S MANOR (1000 AD) ----------------------- Item/s: 300 G Head to the Mayor’s Manor and talk to the Mayor on the second floor. He will not only give you hints but also a small amount of 300G. Return to World Map and go to Guardia Forest. GUARDIA FOREST (1000 AD) ------------------------ Items/s: Power Tab Here, you’ll not see the Monster that carries a shelter. You’ll face some new enemies here also. There some new items here also. In the place where you found 2 shining dots, a new Power Tab can be found shimmering near the trees to the left. You can now exit to north because there aren’t any more items here. GUARDIA CASTLE (1000 AD) ------------------------ Item/s: 3 Ethers 1500G 8 Mid-Tonics Bronze Mail 2 Shelters Lode Sword Upon entering you’ll be greeted with a very cold greeting from the Chancellor of this castle. He will think that you kidnapped the princess. You will be detained and taken to court. In this court scene, your verdict will be based on what you did to the princess and the people at Leene’s Square. Remember those things that would affect a future event? This is that particular event. Again, your verdict will be based on a couple of things: 1. After you bump into Marle, check on her first before taking the pendant. 2. Don’t talk Marle into selling her pendant to Melchior (equipment shop). 3. Don’t take the old man’s pack of food. 4. Bring the kitty back to the young girl. 5. Wait for Marle to finish buying her candies. When the Chancellor asks you who started it, tell him it was you. Then when he asks you if you were tempted with her fortunes, tell him “no” and “not at all”. With this, you’ll be proven innocent. But it’s just the same if you were guilty. Here’s what will happen. If you are innocent you’ll be given a maximum penalty of 3 Days Solitary Confinement (the Chancellor with stir up the system and tells the guard that you will be executed even if you are innocent. He wants Crono dead). If you are proven guilty you’ll be detained and executed within 3 days. In the detention cell, you’ll find a cup which will restore your all your HP and MP. If you are innocent, there will be a pack that will contain an ether. You can also use the Save Point. Now, don’t go near the door. Just stand still and WAIT for three days to pass. If you irritate the guards they will attack you and you’re free but you will only be able to meet Lucca before the Boss. If you wait for 3 days, you will be brought to the execution room. When the guillotine is ready, Lucca will come in and save you. You can now use Lucca until you reach the boss. She can gain EXP so the boss will become easier. Here’s the description of the 2 ways on how you can reach the boss: 1. If you break you way out After defeating the Guards, leave the detention hall. You’ll arrive at a place where there are 4 stairs. First, don’t mind the 2 enemies here just pass by them. Just head to the lower right stairs the continue on until you see a guard. Beat him and examine the switch to open the room. You’ll find Mid-Tonic x2, Ether x2. Leave the area and return to the 4-stair room. On your way out, you’ll see Omnicrone. Just deal a certain amount of damage (218 HP) to him and he’ll escape. Then, move on and beat those 2 Blue Shields to gain access to the 2 stairs. The strategy is simple, wait for them to show their bodies then slash away with your sword. Don’t go to the upper left stairs because you’ll only have a fight here. So, head to the upper right stairs. On the small bridge, 2 guards’ll attack you. They’re easy. Beat them and move on until you reach an intersection. Head left and beat another Guard to enter the execution room. Help the man in the Guillotine and he’ll tell you about his shop at Truce Village. Then, get the chest (Mid Tonic) and examine the switch to the north to open the door. Move north and get the chest for a Bronze Mail. 2 Decedents will attack you. Beat them then return to the intersection and head north. Move on until you reach the second 4-stair room. Head to the lower-left stair first and get the chest with a shelter in the right room. Head back to the 4-stair room and beat the Blue Shields again. Head to the upper left stair and exit through the hole in the second room. You’ll now be at the walls of the castle. You can now reach the chest, in which its room cannot be opened, for a shelter. There will be another hole in the ground. Get in and get the chests below for a Lode Sword and 1500G. You can return up by examining the wall where you climbed down. After getting the chests, return to the second 4- stair room. Head to the upper right exit now. Move on until Lucca saves you. You can now see a save point and the Manual which gives info about your next boss. Read it then SAVE. Examine the Supervisor whom Lucca Blasted. You’ll receive 5 Mid Tonics. Go to “Continuation (Trial)”.. 2. If you waited for 3 days to pass If you waited for 3 days, you will be taken to the execution room. Just before you are executed, Lucca comes and saves the day. Upon regaining control of your characters, get the chest for a Bronze Mail. Head down to the next room and save the man from the Guillotine. He’ll tell you about his shop at Truce Village. Next, get the chest for a Mid tonic then leave the execution room. In the intersection, head left first. Move on until you reach a 4-stair room. Don’t worry about the upper left stairs. You’ll only see an enemy there. Now, beat those 2 Blue Shields. The lower left stairs will lead you to the detention cell of Crono. You can restore your HP/MP by using the cup and save the game! Next, return to the 4-stair room and head down the lower-right stairs. Move on until you see a door. Beat the guard and open the door. Inside, you’ll see 4 chests with Mid-Tonic x2, Ether x2. Return all the way to the execution room. On the way, you’ll have to fight Omnicrone. Just deal exactly 218 HP damage to him and he’ll escape. When you reach the intersection near the execution room, head north. Move on until you reach the second 4- stair room. Head to the lower-left stair first and get the chest with a shelter in the right room. Head back to the 4-stair room and beat the Blue Shields again. Head to the upper left stair and exit through the hole in the second room. You’ll now be at the walls of the castle. You can now reach the chest in which its room cannot be opened for a shelter. There will be another hole in the ground. Get in and get the chests below for a Lode Sword and 1500G. You can return up by examining the wall where you climbed down. After getting the chests, return to the second 4-stair room. Head to the upper right exit now. Move on until you see a save point and the Manual which gives info about your next boss. Read it then SAVE. Continuation (Trial)... After saving and using a Shelter if necessary, head up the stairs you see. On the way, the ground will shake. Move on and meet the Boss: Boss: DRAGON TANK ############################################################################# Dragon Tank HP: 300 Head HP: 700 Grinder HP: 700 EXP: 40 G : 500 Charmed Item: Not possible Destroy the head first as it has the ability to restore HP to all parts of the Tank. Destroying will ease the battle. Kill the grinder then the body. You cannot use Lucca’s Fire Techs as it will be use if the head is still there. You can use Crono’s Cyclone to damage every part of the Tank making it a bit easier to beat. ############################################################################# After destroying the tank, the bridge will collapse. Don’t worry, the chancellor will lend you a hand. Move on. Get the chest along the way, it contains shelter. When you see 2 guards, walk past them then head to the entrance of the castle. The guards will stop you, but eventually Marle will reason out to her father and joins you in leaving the castle. GUARDIA FOREST (1000 AD) ------------------------ After entering the forest, the guards will quickly catch up with you. They got you cornered and there’s no way out except to the right. Run to the right and you’ll see a gate. Just before you get captured again, examine the gate and you'll be able to escape. BANGOR DOME (2300 AD) --------------------- You’ll arrive at an unfamiliar place, which is advanced in Technology. Your party will notice that you’re now in the future. There’s nothing to do here so leave the Dome and exit to the World Map. And head south and enter Trann Dome. Take into consideration that if you stay too long on the world map, your characters’ HP will slowly deteriorate until it becomes 1. So, if you think you already spent too much time on the World Map, go inside into any of the domes then come back out to prevent HP loss. TRANN DOME (2300 AD) -------------------- You can buy items and equipments here. You can also use the Enertron, which will recover your HP and MP completely. Use it as you please. After doing these, there’s nothing else left to do so leave the Dome. LAB 16 (2300 AD) ---------------- Item/s: Berserker Lode Sword Lode Bow Ether Head north in the world map past Bangor Dome and enter Lab 16. There are a few items here. Just beware of the rats, they will steal Tonics from you if it touches Crono while running/walking. You can get a Berserker when you go all the way to the left after entering the Lab entrance near Bangor Dome. On the way, you’ll see a chest containing another Lode Sword. Now, move on. Again, you’ll see another chest that is in the way of a running rat. Time it right that you reach the chest right after the rat runs the opposite way. You’ll get a Lode Bow for Marle. Move on and you’ll meet a group of shadows. After you beat the 3 Shadows, ignore the big plant-like creature and head south to get the chest for an ether. Now, move on and head northeast. You’ll have to fight the Mutant that you’ll see here. After beating it, exit to the World Map. ARRIS DOME (2300 AD) -------------------- Item/s: 2 Mid-Ethers Head to the Arris dome and enter. You’ll see a small group of people inside. Their leader is the Old Man Doan. After talking to the people, save and buy from the kid if necessary. You may also use the Enertron to save shelters. Now, speak to Doan and he’ll tell you that they cannot get the food from below because of the robots. Head to the ladder you see which is in the middle of the room. Upon entering, you’ll see 2 consoles wherein the one to the right is shining. Ignore it for now and climb up the ladder to the left. There’s a very simple maze here. You have to cross the steel planks to get to the other side. When you see a rat, ignore it for now. Here’s the direction where you should go through the planks to reach the top if ever you didn’t get it. First intersection, right. second Intersection, up. Third intersection, right then fourth intersection, up. On the fifth, turn left. Sixth Intersection, left. Seventh intersection, head up. Eighth intersection, head right then finally, head north. You’ll reach a room with an alarm. Continue walking/running north and another boss will stop you: Boss: GUARDIAN and 2 BITS ############################################################################# Guardian HP: 1300 Bit HP: 200 each EXP: 300 *TP: - G: 1000 Charmed Item: Not possible Try to kill the 2 bits first as they will launch massive attacks like the Amplifire attack. When you beat the 2 bits, the Guardian will start a countdown. When it reaches 0, the 2 bits will re revived. He’s not easy at the same time not hard. In short, average difficulty. You can beat them by physical attacks and Single or Dual Techs. New Strategy: from (Stephen - stephen4188@yahoo.com) To prevent the Amplifire Attack, destroy one of the 2 bits. Doing this, they cannot perform the Amplifire Attack. The guardian cannot Revive the single Bit until both of them are destroyed. So, destroy one bit and concentrate your attacks at Guardian. ############################################################################# After beating the Guardian, head north. Your party will see a deceased man. After regaining control of your characters, examine the man again and you will now know that the rat, which was at the Steel Planks, is not a statue. Get the chest for a Mid-Ether. Head back to the Planks. You’ll see the rat. Now, try to run as fast as you can and catch it. When you think it’s near enough, hit the A button to catch it. He will tell you that, to gain access to the door way back in the entrance (the place with 2 consoles), stand in front of the shining console, hold the L and R buttons then press A. Remember that YOU MUST talk to the rat first in order to move on. You won’t be able to use the code at the console if you didn’t talk to the rat in the first place. Now, go back there and do it. When the new path comes up, you can now enter the right door. Upon entering, don’t go up to neither of the ladders instead, head north past the monsters to reach a chest with a Mid-Ether. Now head back and walk down the stairs to the left. At the end, walk down the stairs. Move on until you see another set of stairs. Walk up the stairs and head north to a door. In here, you can actually take any path you like whether take the stairs or take the right route. When you reach the first Proto 2 (the robot, not the spider looking ones), head left and walk up the stairs. Move on until you enter a room with a monitor and a console. Lucca will operate it and you’ll see the location of the other gate. You will also be shown the Day of Lavos 1999. When the characters talk to each other, select “Okay!”. Once outside the monitor room, you’ll see another console to your right. To reach it, head to the place where you saw the first Proto 2 then go north ignoring the ladder. Upon reaching it, use the LR + A button code you used to enter this place. It will make a path to the sealed door but you can’t do anything as of now but when you come back here later, you won’t have to do it anymore. Now, head back to where Doan was. He’ll be amazed that you survived below. You will give him the seeds you found from the deceased man and he will give you a Bike key you can use later at Lab 32. Use the Enertron, save or buy items if necessary, then head out to the World Map. SEWER ACCESS (2300 AD) ---------------------- Item/s: 600G Rage Band Bolt Sword If you want to make it easier when you come back here later I suggest you head left to the Sewer Access. You have to activate the bridge here so that you can have easy access later. Inside, a guard will pass by. After regaining control, head right, defeat the enemies and get the chest for 600G. Then, head all the way to the left until you see a scene with two frogs talking to each other. Follow them down the ladder. Below, head right. You will see a cat. If you examine it, you’ll have to fight 3 Nereids. Move on. You’ll then see a can and a trash bin. If you examine either of them, you’ll fight 4 Nereids. Next, you’ll see a slice of cheese. If you examine it, you’ll have to fight 2 Nereids and a rat. Move on. Next, you’ll see a save spot. If you examine it, you’ll fight 3 Nereids. Finally, climb up the stairs. Above, you’ll see a gap between a bridge and another bridge to your left. Ignore the bridges and head north. You’ll see a slight opening in between the wall. Go through here to reach a switch, which will open the opposite door. Head back then up. Continue pressing the Up Key until Crono Stops. You’ll now be able to head right. When you see that Crono stops, head down through that door. You’ll see another scene with the 2 frogs. Anyway, just head right then up to get a Rage Band from the chest. Now head right to meet: Mini-Boss: KRAWLIE ############################################################################# HP: 550 EXP: 100 *TP: - G: 500 Item: Mid-Ether Charmed Item: Mid Ether He is so easy. You can beat him with your eyes closed while pressing the A button continuously. * - I haven’t seen it... yet. ############################################################################# After beating Krawlie, move on until you see a ladder. Go past it fast and get the chest for a Bolt Sword. Then, press the switch to fill the gap and the bridge will now be accessible. Now, don’t go back to climb the ladder. Instead, cross the bridge you just activated and you’ll notice that you’ve been here already. Now head all the way back to the ladder which you used to enter this area and exit to the World Map. Note: The ladder at the end will send you to the World Map but it is on a remote island. You can find the Keeper’s Dome and the Death Peak there. But you don’t have to go there yet. LAB 32 (2300 AD) ---------------- Item: Race Log Now, head north to Lab 32. In the lab, head north and examine the Jet Bike (you will automatically use Doan’s Bike key on it). 4 Proto 2s will attack you. fortunately, Johnny will come and stop the robots from attacking. Instead, he’ll challenge you to a race through Lab 32. you must beat him in order to reach the end of Lab 32. Here’s a tip. You can just sit back and watch until you are close enough to the finish line and push that B Button for a speed boost. You only have 3 boosts and you must use it only if you are in front of Johnny. He will always try to stay in front of you so watch out. Again, if you win, you’ll be at the end of Lab 32. but if you lose, don’t worry. You can always challenge him to the race or you can ignore him and just walk/run through Lab 32. I recommend walking because you’ll gain experience in the process and an item along the way. You can get the race Log item that will record the scores you get every time you race Johnny. At the start of the race your score will start from 0 and will increase during the race. But, if you managed to stay in front and not allow Johnny to even get beside you, when he bumps your back you’ll receive points. But if Johnny is in your front and you bump into him, you’ll lose points. Anyway, once you reach the end in any manner you like, exit to the World Map. PROTO DOME (2300 AD) -------------------- In the World Map, don’t go to the factory yet. Head to Proto Dome first. Inside just move on and use the Enertron if you like. When you see a Robot, Lucca will repair it. Then, you can name R66-Y as Robo (any name will do, we’ll just use Robo for the sake of the walkthrough). Then, you’ll tell him that you need to get to the gate to be transported back to 1000 AD. He will agree to help you in turn for fixing him. Choose from Marle or Lucca who will stay behind. As for me, I left Lucca the first time I played because Marle has Curative Magic. Once Robo joins your party, leave Proto Dome and head to the Factory up north. FACTORY (2300 AD) ----------------- Item/s: 2 Shelters Robin Bow Titan Vest Plasma Gun Hammer Arm 2 Ethers 400 G Mid Ether Bolt Sword Inside, examine the console that you’ll see there and Robo will deactivate the laser in front of the conveyor belts so that you can continue on. Kill the acid that shows up. Use the conveyor belt and use the right elevator first. In here, there are 2 ladders to the south. Go to the ones on the left and get the Robin Bow at the end. After getting the Robin Bow, go back up the ladder and then use the other ladder to the right. Here, move on until you see a door and the conveyor belt. Now, walk to ON the conveyor belt and go to the left. Try to evade the Proto 3s here because if they were able to you, you’ll be taken to another conveyor belt. Now, continue walking to left on the conveyor belt. Get the chest for an Ether on the way. After getting the ether, continue going left and enter the door to the south at the end. In the next area, just move on and enter the door. Next, go to the top of the screen for a Mid-Tonic. And then, go left a bit and enter the door to the north. Here, get the 2 chests for 400 G and Mid-Ether. Now, examine the computer and it’ll tell you about the crane controls. Leave this room. Go left from the door and enter another new room to the left. Inside, get the 2 chests for a shelter and an Ether. Now, exit through the lower left door. You’ll be able to control the crane. You have to push 2 buttons in order to command the crane. First, press B and then A and the crane will remove the barrel. Second, press X and then A and the crane will remove another Barrel. Now, go back to the previous room. Then, use the ladder to the left of the door you just came through. You can pass now as the barrels are gone. At the end, enter the room and get the Bolt Sword from the chest. Then, examine the computer and it will translate the password “ZABIE” into “XABY” meaning, you have to press X A B Y (you’ll see what I mean later). Now, leave this room and go all the way to the right (don’t go up the ladders on the way just use the ones at the end). After getting the items and knowing the clue to the password, leave this area and head back to the first room here in the Factory, then use the left elevator. Below, there is a save point. You can also head north to a chest containing a shelter. After beating the Acid and Alkalines, examine the computer to open the hatch right below the chest and reveal a ladder. Head down. Move on until you see a laser. Enter the door that you see. You can pass through the wall on the left to reach the chest containing another Titan Vest. Then, head right for another chest containing a more powerful arm for Robo, the Hammer Arm. Now, examine the computer beside the 4 lasers. It will deactivate all lasers in the factory. But you have to survive the fight against acids and alkalines. Now head to the elevator to the right of this area. If you select up, you’ll be brought to the floor with the save point you saw earlier. Save if you want to then head to the lowest floor. Here, ignore the ladder to your left. It will lead you back to the computer room where you turned off the lasers. So follow the hallway north. There is a locked door. There is also a chest containing a Plasma Gun for Lucca. To open the door you have to press a sequence of buttons. The clue is “Zabie”. If you pronounce it, you’ll see that it is equivalent to the buttons “XABY”. So punch X,A,B,Y. The door will open. Head north then push the switch. The emergency system will activate. You’re so lucky that you weren’t trapped in. After regaining control of your characters, use the ladder as the elevators are shut down. On the way, you will encounter Robo’s past friends. These robots will beat up Robo pretty badly. Now you have to fight all 6 of them. Together, they are a single boss. Boss: R SERIES ############################################################################# HP: 300 each EXP: 480 *TP: - G: 600 Charmed Item: not possible It’s not that hard. Just use Crono’s Cyclone to damage more Robots in one turn. If you have Marle, have her attack but let her heal the both of them if their HP runs low. If you have Lucca, use her flame attacks and if your HPs are low, let her use Tonics or Mid Tonics. * - Because my party members have complete Single Techs, the amount of TP gained is not shown. I’ll include this in the next update. ############################################################################# After you beat them, whoever is in your party will get Robo and you will automatically go to Proto Dome. You’ll actually see you party members carry Robo to Proto Dome. PROTO DOME (2300 AD) -------------------- Lucca will repair Robo once more then Robo will officially join your party. The door is now open and your party will now use the Gate. END OF TIME ----------- You will arrive in an eerie and dark place. Move on through the door and you’ll meet up with the an Old Man. He’ll tell you that you are at the end of time. And that happened because you are in a group of 4. Only a group of 3 can use the gate at a time. He’ll also tell you that the pillars of light you saw a while ago connects to different times. After regaining control of your characters, you may restore you HP/MP if you examine the shining dot near the save point. Don’t try to use the other shining dot as this one leads directly to the last boss of the game, LAVOS (if you examined the bucket and defeated Lavos, you’ll get Ending #4). I’m absolutely, perfectly, undoubtedly sure that you are not prepared to fight him (unless you’re in the New Game+ mode or you played for DAYS leveling up your characters to 40+). Let’s move on. Head back to the pillars of light. On the way, the Old Man will call your attention. Talk to him and he’ll tell you to take a peek on the next room. Inside, you’ll find Spekkio the Master of War. His form will depend entirely upon your levels, more to that later. Talk to him and if he asks you a question, answer “Strong!”. He’ll the tell you more about Magic. That it was used years before Crono’s time. He’ll teach you how to use Magic if you WALK around the room clockwise 3 times. WALK, don’t hold the run button. After walking around 3 times, talk to him again and he’ll give you the power of magic. Crono/Lightning, Lucca/Fire, Marle/Ice, Robo can’t use Magic but Spekkio will tell him that his laser attacks have a little Shadow Magic. Then he’ll ask you if you want to try it out. If you win, you’ll receive items. Here are the items you can get by beating him: Level 1 - 19 Special Refresher: 1 Magic Tab, 5 Ethers Level 20 - 29 Choice: 1 Magic Tab, 5 Mid Ethers Level 30 - 39 Healthy Choice: 1 Magic Tab, 5 Full Ethers Level 40 - 98 Graceful: 1 Magic Tab, 1 Speed Tab, and 1 Power Tab Level 99 Cheerful: 10 Magic Tabs, 10 Speed Tabs, 10 Power Tabs, and 10 MegaElixirs (Thanks to Brandon Boucher: TheDOORS66@aol.com for the info) If you didn’t win, don’t worry, your HP/MP will be restored. After fighting him, return to the Old Man and talk to him. He’ll tell you that you have to go to your own time first to be able to change what you want. So go to the light pillars and go to Pillar #6 to Medina Village 1000AD. Here’s the sketch of the Pillars: #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 Locations and Time: 1 - Bangor Dome (2300 AD) 2 - Tyran Fortress (65,000,000 BC) 3 - Truce Canyon (600 AD) 4 - Mystic Mountains (65,000,000 BC) 5 - Proto Dome (2300 AD) 6 - Medina Village (1000 AD) 7 - Leene’s Square (1000 AD) 8 - Earth Bound Island (12,000 BC) 9 - Guardia Forest (1000 AD) If you use the bucket, the Old Man mentioned, you’ll fight Lavos. The final boss. If you did, you’ll get ending #4. If you don’t want to fight yet, or if this is just your first game, don’t examine it. MEDINA VILLAGE (RESIDENCE 1000 AD) ----------------------------------- You’ll be transported to a residence of a Mystic in Medina village. When you try to exit, the Mystic will tell you that there is a man who lives west of their place. So head out to the World Map. Before leaving, you can examine the cake here. The mystic will offer it to you. If you accept, it will replenish the HP and MP of your Team Members. MEDINA SQUARE (1000 AD) ----------------------- Go to Medina Square in the middle of the village. Here you’ll learn fact about what happened years ago in the war of the Mystics vs. humans. Just came here to learn, that’s all. The game won’t be exciting without the story right? Go back to World Map again. EDLER’S HOUSE -MEDINA VILLAGE(1000 AD) -------------------------------------- Item/s: Speed Tab Magic Tab Go to the Elder’s House. First, get the shining speed Tab in the kitchen. Now, go to the second floor of the house to get a shining Magic Tab on the desk. Then, head back out to the World Map. If you want to sleep at Medina Inn, you have to fight the Hench and the Diablos first. Pay 200 G afterwards. MARKET -MEDINA VILLAGE(1000 AD) ------------------------------- When you enter the Market, the Mystics will attack you then they will allow you to buy from them. But look at that Price, it’s unbelievable. I’ve got outrageous prices. All the Equipments are at Maximum, 65,000G EACH. The Tonic is at 2,440G, Revive at 48,800G! I guess this is random, or the battle might have an effect. If you’re so strong that you can beat the two with one slash each (i.e. New Game+), the higher the price will be. If you’re quite weak and took a few hits, the price will be lower. I’ve seen also some of the prices. The Tonic is at 470G, 1100G. I suggest that you don’t buy anything because you can’t afford it.

Now head back out to the world map and head to Zenan Bridge. Again, get that shelter from the monster in the forest. This will be the last time I shall remind of this. You can stock up on as many shelters as you want, just keep on leaving and coming right back in the forest.

Boss: ZOMBOR ############################################################################# Upper Body HP: 1300 Lower Body HP: 1000 EXP: 350 TP: 10 G: 1500 Charmed Item: not possible He’s not that hard. I simply attacked the upper part of his body. But beware! After you beat the upper body, he’ll use MP Buster that will steal ALL MPs from one of your party members. For the lower body, it can tolerate physical attacks better than the upper body. So, use Crono’s Lightning Magic or Lucca’s Fire Magic to deal a good amount of damage. After you beat both of the parts, you win! Duh! ############################################################################# After beating Zombor, continue moving left and you’ll exit to the world map in the Village of San Dorino.

PORRE VILLAGE (600 AD) ---------------------- You can also head to the different houses to learn more info about Tata, the supposed Legendary Hero with the Medal. After learning that he moved north, return to the World Map and head north to Denadoro Mountains. Note, don’t go to the Magic Cave yet because you don’t have the Masamune. We’ll go there later. DENADORO MOUNTAINS (600 AD) --------------------------- Item/s: Ether 600G 2 Revives 2 Mid Tonics 500G Silver Stud 4 Mid Ethers Silver Erng 300G Magic Tab Shelter Broken Masamune Hero Medal MirageHand Bring Lucca with you. You’ll need her fire magic in this place. Upon reaching a ladder, you’ll see a kid who is being chased by a Goblin. After beating the goblin an Ogan will come and attack you. With the hammer, his defense rises both physically and magically, but if you use any of Lucca’s Fire Magic, the hammer will burn and you now have a helpless little goblin. Now, don’t go up the ladder yet. To right and go up the stream onto the next area. Here, you’ll see a sleeping Ogan on the top. You’ll be able to get a chest here that contains Robo’s MirageHand. After getting the weapon, go back to where you saw the Kid. Climb the ladder. In this area, there’s a sleeping goblin. Don’t come near him. Instead, move up slowly until the Goblin is lined up with Crono so you can get the chest to the left. Here’s the diagram if you need it: Chest ----------- Crono ----------- Sleeping Goblin | | ladder After aligning the three, push the left button on the Direction-pad to reach the chest on the left for an ether. Now, head to the top of the ladder and do not go down. Walk left then head south until you reach the area where you saw the kid. You’ll now be able to get that chest on the ledge for a Revive. Now head north again. Fight the goblin if you like. If you examine the Goblin he will continue to sleep, but when go continue north, a free lancer with throw a stone to the goblin to wake him up. You have to fight them now. After beating them, head north and cross the wooden bridge you see. Then, climb up the next ladder you see. Defeat the 2 Goblins and take the chest for 500G. Cross the wooden bridge to your right. Now, walk down SLOWLY and when you see a goblin running, time it right that it doesn’t catch you. Head up the ladder and continue to the next area. When the path splits into two, take the upper path first and take the chest for a Mid-Ether. Return to the intersection and head right. Take the chest you see for a Revive. Now, head up the ladder. Get another chest for a Gold Helm. Head up the ladder and continue heading left. When the path splits into 2, head to the lower path first, climb down the ladder and get the chest for a Mid-Tonic. Head all the way up the left to enter the area with a big waterfall. Climb up the two ladders here onto the next area. Don’t forget to get that Mid-Ether on the way. Btw, the free lancer that throws stones at you will give you an accessory. Take a look at the accessories section. In this new area, head up another ladder and get the chest for 600G. Now prepare you characters for 4 continuous fight. It means that, right after you beat a batch of enemies, you’ll have to fight the next batch right away. First batch, Ogan and Goblin. Second Batch, Ogan and Free Lancer. Third batch, Ogan and Goblin again. Fourth Batch, Ogan and 2 Free Lancers. After that fight, head left to the next area. Here, get the chest right away for 300G. Head north. After beating the Free Lancers and the Bellbird, get the chest you see for a Mid-Tonic. Now if you want, you can get a few extra, but VERY HELPFUL items. In the river, if you head south, you’ll see a large waterfall. If the waterfall washes you away, you’ll end up in a new area with one chest. But, there is another way to get an extra chest. So follow, my instructions carefully. First, go to the center of the river. WALK down slowly, little by little and head to the waterfall. When the huge waterfall starts to pull you in, push the left button on the Directional-pad and run until a small waterfall pulls you in. Let this small waterfall pull you in and Jump in the waterfall. You’ll reach a chest with the Silver Stud w/c will cut the MP usage of any Magic/Tech of the character it is equipped with. Example, if Crono can use Luminaire, the Ultimate magic, he uses 20 MPs which is 20% of the MAX MP he can have. But if you equip him with the Silver Stud, he will use only 10 MP or 10% of the MAX MP he can have w/c is 99. If you you’re thinking that there’s a Gold Stud, you’re correct, it can be obtained later in the game. It cuts MP use by 75%. Now, back to the Walkthrough. After getting the Silver Stud, head towards the cliff and jump off the ledge. You’ll land on another area and you can get a chest for a SilverErng. It will increase your Maximum HP by 25%. Example: If Crono has 500 HPs, if you equip him with the SilverErng, his Maximum HP will be raised by 25%, w/c is 125. So, his Maximum HP will become 625. After getting these accessories, head north through the woods and you’ll be brought to another area. Then, in this area head north right away. You’ll be back to the place where you fought 4 times in a row. Fortunately, you don’t have to fight them again. When you reach the river where you jumped off the waterfall, head north and all the way to the left, and get the chest past the ladder for a Mid-Ether. Climb down the ladder and head to the next Area. Here, cross the wooden bridge and you’ll see a monster that looks like Spekkio. Talk to him 4 times and he’ll give you a Magic Tab. Move on to the next area. Here, you’ll finally find a Save Point. Save and Restore HP/MP then head down the ladder on the left. Get another chest for a Mid-Ether then continue heading down. Head down another set of ladders and go right to another area. Here, you’ll see a short ladder. Climb down and they will jump once you reach the end of the ladder. Get the chest you see for a Shelter. After beating the enemies, head north through a cave-like opening. Head north towards the sword and the kid will stop you. If he asks you if you want the Masamune, tell him yes. He’ll call his brother Masa. Then, Masa and Mune will test you and will engage your party. Boss: MASA and MUNE ############################################################################# Masa HP: 1000 Mune HP: 1000 Exp: 400 TP: 4 G: 400 Charmed Item: not possible They are easy. Just keep on attacking them using physical attacks and Techs that do physical damage. If one of them goes down, so is the other. After you beat them you’ll have to fight: Strategy by: Brandon Boucher (TheDOORS66@aol.com) Just concentrate on attacking one of them. It will save your characters HP as well as it will save you time. You don’t have to attack the other one at all. ############################################################################# Boss: MASA and MUNE (combined) ############################################################################# HP: 3500 Exp: 500 TP: 10 G: 1500 Charmed Item: not possible He is pretty tough. You MUST have a healer in your party. Use items with one of your characters or if you have Marle, make her the healer. Use your 2 other members to attack and use dual techs if possible. Strategy by: Lorne Dixon (lornedixon@hotmail.com) To make the fight a bit easier, when Masa and Mune starts to store its power, use Crono’s Slash Tech to dissipate the energy so that they can’t use their most powerful attack. ############################################################################# After you proved your worth to the 2, you can now retrieve the broken Masamune. You now have to find who will fix it then. After retrieving it, Masa and Mune will transport you to the Base of the Mountain. I’m just so glad I will not have to go through the entire mountain again. You’ll be transported to the World Map. If you think carefully, you’ll remember that Melchior, the Swordsmith in Medina Village 1000 AD, is good a sword craftsmanship. But first, go to Tata’s House in Porre. Talk to Tata, the kid you saw in Denadoro Mts., and he’ll tell you that he only got it from FROG who dropped the Medal. Everybody called him hero so he kept it. After talking to him, he’ll give it to you. Now return the Medal to the rightful owner, Frog. Right before giving it back to frog. You can go back to the End of Time and beat Lavos using the bucket, to get ending #6. CURSED WOODS (600 AD) --------------------- Go to Cursed woods and talk to Frog. He’ll recognize the Medal. After telling you that he has no right to wield the Masamune, he’ll move and you shall notice the pot is now glittering. Examine it and you’ll see the other half of the Masamune Blade. You will then discover that the word “roichlem” is written. It’s Melchior! :) Now leave the cursed woods and go to Truce Canyon and teleport to the End of Time. END OF TIME ----------- Now, do what you should always do here. Restore HP/MP, change party members if necessary and save. After that, use pillar #6 to Medina Village 1000 AD. When you reach 1000 AD, head to Melchior’s Hut. MELCHIOR’S HUT (1000 AD) ------------------------ Talk to Melchior. He’ll be surprised that you have the Masamune Blade. He will then tell you to get Dream stones, which are not around anymore for a long time. Did you guess it? Yup. You have to go to the prehistoric era to get it. So go to the Residence and use the gate. Do the thing you normally do at the End of time then finally, use pillar #4 to Mystic Mountains 65,000,000 BC. MYSTIC MOUNTAIN (65,000,000 BC) ------------------------------- Item/s: Berserker Third Eye Right after you are teleported, you’ll fall right away. There will be reptites roaming around and they will attack your party. The technique in beating these reptites is for you to use Lightning Attacks. After beating these Reptites, more will come your way. But then, a cave-woman will come and beat some of the reptites. All leftovers are for you to deal with. After beating them, the woman will return and introduce herself. Her name is Ayla. After some talking, she tells you to follow her to her village, Ioka. Quickly, follow Ayla. On the way, you’ll see a green chest. Take the first one for a Berserker. When you have returned to the World Map, head east to see the village. You’ll see 4 huts. Enter the Lower Right Hut first. You can talk to the woman here if you want to drink some sweet water that will replenish your HP and MP. Next, you can visit the Upper right hut and trade your G and your items (specifically the petals, fangs, horns, and feather) here are the items you can trade for and the quantity you need. Remember that you must have Ayla join your party first. Item/Equipment Requirements Ruby Gun = 3 Petals and 3 Fangs Sage Bow = 3 Petals and 3 Horns Stone Arm = 3 Petals and 3 Feathers Flint Edge = 3 Fangs and 3 Horns Ruby Vest = 3 Fangs and 3 Feathers Rock Helm = 3 Horns and 3 Feathers Note: If you are in need of these items, head to the hunting Range North of Ioka Village. If it rains, quickly roam around the Hunting Range and find that Nu (Blue Monster) it’ll give you a good quantity of all items. All enemies here have items here are the items that you can get from a certain monster: Group of Amphibite, Croaker, Rain Frog = 2 Feathers, 2 Fangs and 2 Horns Group of Ion and Anion = 2 Petals and 2 Feathers Nu = 3 of every trading item (as a bonus, he’ll give you a Third Eye) Let’s Continue. One of the people in this hut will sell you a Tonic, Mid- tonic, and Heal. Now, head to the chief’s hut. Talk to Ayla and the scene will automatically be brought to the Jurassic Party! You can talk to anyone here. To continue the story. Speak to your party members, including Ayla, until Ayla offers you the Jurassic Soup. When you regain control of Crono, talk to your party members and drink the soup. Talk to your party members again until Ayla brings up the topic regarding the Red rock. She will then challenge you to a soup race. Gulp as many soup as many you can by tapping the A button as fast as you can. If you lose to her, start again until you win. After you win you’ll a good night sleep. But when you wake up, you’ll notice that your Gate Key is missing. The footprints on the ground suggest that Reptites are the crooks. Your party will then agree to meet Ayla. In Ayla’s hut, wake her up. She’ll join you in your search of the Gate Key. When you leave, you can now trade your petals, etc. for equipments. The items and their requirements are written above. You can go to the lower right hut and the man in the middle will give you a Tonic. Now, go to the lower left hut and talk to everyone here to know where to go next. Now, head south of the village and enter the Forest Maze. FOREST MAZE (65,000,000 BC) --------------------------- Item/s: 3 Mid Tonics 2 Revives 2 Mid Ethers Shelter Heal After entering the Forest Maze, you’ll see Kino. He’ll tell you that he took the Gate Key because he is jealous. Then, he’ll also tell you that the Reptites took it away from him. So, to get to the Reptites Lair, follow the footsteps and go through any path available to get extra items. If you somehow weren’t able to cross to another part, use a vine as a ladder if you see one or use the fallen trees as bridges. Just follow the footsteps and you’ll never be lost. On the way, you’ll find chests that contain, Mid-Tonic x3, Revive x2, Mid-Ether x2, Shelter, Heal. After following the footsteps, you’ll exit to the world map near the Reptite Lair. Enter the Lair. REPTITE LAIR (65,000,000 BC) ---------------------------- Item/s: 2 Mid Ethers Elixir Ruby Vest 2 Full Tonics Rock Helm Full Ether Inside, head through the cave to the right to the next area. In this area, you’ll see evilweevils roaming around and digging holes. If you want treasure, wait until all Evilweevils, the blue shark-like monsters, have finished digging. For your information, once an Evilweevil digs, he’ll disappear from the area mainly because it fell down the hole. Now, after waiting for them to finish. There will be 5 holes in the ground. Don’t worry about it because these are at random. The holes lead to different rooms/route below, but the ultimate goal here is to arrive in a big room filled with reptites running crazy around. There are 4 routes to take. Example, if you take route 1, you’ll be passing through a set of rooms unique to route 1. It means that, the hole in route 1 leads to a different path from the holes in route 2, 3, and 4 and vice-versa. In short, you can take any route you like to reach the big room. Each route has different treasures in it. Here’s something interesting, you can actually get ALL of the treasures and pass through ALL routes. It means that you can pass through route 1 and after you reached the big room, you can actually go back to the room where the evilweevils are digging and take another route. I’ll explain how later. Here’s the graph of the routes you can pass through. So, if you want to use route #2, jump in the hole created by the EvilWeevils, which is to the North Easternmost. If you want to use route 3, jump in the hole that is on the South Westernmost. I you don’t know which route is which, I have a graph of the rooms of the routes after you jump in from the first holes. Note that if the EvilWeevils didn’t dig the holes properly, i.e. they dug holes wherein the holes they created can’t give you access to the route you want to take. If this happens, head out to the world map and re-enter the Lair. ------------- ------------- | | | | Route 1 | Route 2 | | | | ------------- ------------- | | | | Route 3 | Route 4 | | | | ------------- ------------- Here are the different info about each route, refer to this mini-guide about the enemies and treasures you can get: Route 1: In the first room, you’ll have to fight 2 EvilWeevils in order to jump down the hole. Take note that you always have to defeat the enemies first before jumping down the holes. In the next room, you’ll face a Megasaur. To weaken it, use Crono’s Lightning magic. Then attack it continuously until it dies. Head down the hole. You’ve now reached the big room! Skip routes 2, 3, and 4 and Go to The Big Room. Route 2: Note: if you wait for the evilweevils, one of them will dig at the bottom right corner of the screen. This will lead you to a room with an Elixir. In this room, you’ll have to fight 2 EvilWeevils and 2 Fly Traps. After beating them, get the chest for a Mid-Ether then jump down the hole. Here, you’ll have to fight a Flytrap and 2 EvilWeevils. Get the chest for a Ruby Vest. Head down the hole to reach the big room! Skip routes 3 and 4 and go to the Big Room. Route 3: In the first room, fight an Evilweevil and a flytrap. Get the chest for a Mid- Ether afterwards. Jump down the hole. In here, another pair of EvilWeevil and a Fly Trap. Get the chest for a Full Tonic and jump down the hole. Voila! The Big room! Skip route 4 and go to the Big Room. Route 4: I the first room, you’ll fight an EvilWeevil and a Fly Trap. Then, get the chest for a Full Tonic. Jump down the hole. You may be familiar to this room. It is the same as the second room in route #2. The enemies here are 2 EvilWeevils and a Fly Trap, and the chest contains the Ruby Vest. Jump down the hole to the Big Room! The Big Room: Here in the Big room, you’ll see those running Reptites, defeat them for EXP. Then, there are 2 Reptites guarding 2 chests. The lower chest contains a Rock Helm and the upper ones contain a Full Ether. After getting the treasures, leave through the northeast exit. Here, you’ll have to fight the Winged Ape and a Shitake. After beating them, head north. You’ll have to fight another batch of monsters. After beating them, you can take the left cave-like opening and it will bring you back to where the Evilweevils dug holes. You can therefore, take another one of the routes. You can always use any route as many times as you like to gain exp or G. But remember that, on the way, you’ll meet up with a winged ape and you must beat him in order to jump the hole to reach the EvilWeevil room. If you want to go to the exit of the Reptite lair, move straight ahead and don’t enter the cave that will bring you back to the evilweevil room. You’ll encounter a Megasaur and 2 Reptites. After beating them, a s
