From Cosmo2-
In the triple tech section, you confused Blue Rock and Silver Rock.
The locations are correct, but Blue Rock invokes Omega Flare and
Silver Rock invokes Spinstrike.

From Teferi-
You forgot to switch the characters as well.

Magus: Thanks!

3)Walkthrough
---------------------------------------------------------------------
1000 A.D
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things You Can Collect: 200g

It's morning, and your Mum is asking you to wake up...pass this
sequence, and when you are downstairs, talk to your Mum to recieve
200g. Now go outside, and I suggest you head into the Guardia Forest
(to the left) to build your levels up to about 5 or 6. You don't have
to, but it will make it easier for you later on. Once that is done,
head to Leene Square (up the top).

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Leene Square
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things You Can Collect: Silver Points, Marle

There are lots of things for you to do here. First, there are plenty
of mini-games you can do to get Silver Points. These can be exchanged
into money, or used at other mini-games. My suggestion is to either
keep on betting at the races (in the middle of the first screen you
enter) to get Silver Points, the top left screen to fight Gato, or
to go to the top right screen and enter the soda drinking contest.

*********************************************************************
                YOU MUST DO THE FOLLOWING EVENT!!!!!!
*********************************************************************				

Either way, gain up some Silver Points (more than 40 will do) and
head to the tent at the right of the first screen. This is the House
of Horrors. Play the second game, and it is to copy the clone's
movements. This is vital for later on, you'll see why. Once you copy
his movements, you will acquire a clone of Crono. You'll need it if
you want to...oh, I don't want to spoil it for you.

**********************************************************************
Now you can exchange the rest of your SP for money, and if you want
you can buy a Lode Sword from Melchior, in the middle of the first
screen, as it will help a lot. Now go up, and you will bump into
Marle, your next party member. Talk to her, then pick up her pendant
and give it to her. When she asks if she can go with you, answer no.
When she asks again, answer yes. Now follow these steps:

Go to the right, and talk to the girl who is missing her cat. Go to
the left, and talk to the cat once (don't eat the stuff on the
table!!!). Lead it to the girl. Now, if anyone asks, don't convince
Marle to trade her pendant.

Go back down the bottom and talk to the girl on the fountain. Lucca
will have set up her invention, so go up and on the way, Marle will
want some candy. Just wait, and when she is done, keep on going up.
Talk to Lucca, try the machine (left pod unless you are on a super
high level, 80+) and then talk to Marle. She will try it, but
something will go wrong. Go in after her. Now if you are playing a
New Game +, you may want to enter the right pod to face Lavos
straight away! It's the quickest and hardest ending. Good luck.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
600 A.D
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things You Can Collect: Power Glove, Tonic

You'll be warped to a canyon. Go left, into a large screen. Work your
way through to the bottom, collecting two chests on the way, and exit
to the map. Head to the Market (lowest building on the right) and buy
a few Tonics, you can afford it. Then head into Guardia Castle.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Guardia Forest/Castle
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things You Can Collect: Power Tab, Shelter, Tonic, Ether, 100g,
                        Bronze Mail. For the items in Guardia Castle,
                        I suggest returning to 1000 A.D to collect
                        there first before picking them up in 600 A.D

In the castle, watch the scene and go up. Speak with the King, then
if you want to rest, go left and downstairs. If not, go right, go up
the stairs until the very top. Leave the chests alone, open them in
1000 A.D. Go and speak to the Queen, who is actually Marle. She will
disappear and then get out of here. On the way you'll meet Lucca.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Cathedral
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things You Can Collect: Tonic x3, Ether x2, 100g, Revive, Naga-ette
                        Bromide, Maiden Suit, Steel Saber, Speed Belt,
                        Heal, Mid-Ether, Shelter, Defender, Iron
                        Sword

Now get out, and go to the cathedral to the left of the castle. Talk
to the nun at the top left, and they will all turn into enemies. Kill
them, and another one will appear. It will get killed by Frog, your
next party member.

Head to Guardia Forest and build up until you get the Flame Tech for
Lucca, Slurp Cut for Frog, and Slash for Crono. Now rest at the Inn
if needed, and go back to the cathedral. Go up to the organ in the
upper left, and press A to play it. A door will open up, enter it.
Here is another good place to build your levels, 7+ is sweet. First,
go to the right and pick up the treasures. Go up the stairs, enter
the room and collect the treasures, and then go to the drawers and
press "A" to collect a Naga-ette Bromide. Some enemies will rush in,
kill them. Now go up, to the left of the spikes, and press the
skull. The bucket on the left has a Magic Tab. Get it by pressing A,
and return to the bottom floor.

Don't go up the middle yet, go to the right and up the stairs. Go
into the upper door, and try to leave. Beat the enemies, and then
enter the secret door on the right wall. It will be a Magus shrine
(a shrine to me...how cool...kidding.). Pick up the treasures and
leave. You may have to battle the enemies if unlucky. Now return to
the bottom floor and go straight up into the middle door. Save, and
head up the stairs, and slide down the ones on the right. Head up,
press the skull, and go up. Keep going left, and head down twice.
Go up the stairs, grab the treasure, and head into the room you just
opened up.  Defeat the enemies, grab the treasure and play the organ.
Now go all the way around again, except there will be an opening on
the wall. Enter, go up the top, save, and enter the next room. You
will now battle Yakra.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Yakra
---------------------------------------------------------------------

If you are 7+, this is easy. Just keep on attacking, and use Crono
and Frog's X Strike. Also heal with Frog, this one is over very
quickly.

Open the chests (the REAL chancellor is in one), and head back to
Guardia Castle. Go back up to the Queen's room to get Marle back. Go
back to the canyon where you came from, and talk to the blue thing
(a gate) to get home.

Things You Can Collect: Ether x3, Mid Tonic x5+(number of guards you
                        knocked out), Shelter x2, Lode Sword, 1500G,
                        Bronze Mail

You'll land back in Leene Square. Head back to Guardia Castle. That
stupid Chancellor is at it again, and he will send you to jail. But
first, a trial. If you followed the steps I told you to follow in
Leene Square, you should get off okay. Answer the questions
truthfully, and the verdict makes no difference: you will be sent
to jail. There, the Chancellor will change the verdict to execute
you!

In the cell, if you were charged not guilty, you will have a pack
and a mug to take. The pack is an Ether, the mug is a free source of
HP/MP. Now, if you want to gain some levels (maybe) and acquire lots
of items, keep annoying the guards out front until they come in. You
will kill them both and are free to explore. Otherwise, you can wait
until Lucca saves you.

If you do get out, go free and explore. You can kill guards in one
shot by waiting until they face away from you, and pressing A. Search
their bodies for a Mid Tonic, better than beating them. Somewhere,
you will find a prisoner, help him. He will prove useful later on.
Also, there will be a path leading you outside. Scale the walls
downward to get some items. In that room, there is a black hole,
press A to climb down and receive some more items. Eventually you
will find the exit; the supervisor will give up 5 Mid Tonics if you
search him. Go out and face the Dragon Tank.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Dragon Tank
---------------------------------------------------------------------

First, aim all attacks at the head (normal attacks). Heal when needed
too. When the head is gone, start attacking the body. 8+ is a fine
level, and this is too easy.

Now you will run, with Marle, out to the Guardia Forest. Go right and
you will find a gate... go in it, and get transported to...

Q. When i walk into the Trann Dome in Chrono, all I can see is smoke.
Is that how it is supposed to be? It's a ROM. Would that have anything
to do with that, or is that how it looks in the SNES cart? Please
help!!!

A. No, use the 1-5 buttons on the keyboard to change the graphics
settings, it's like that. But when you take the fog off, you can't
see the text. Bummer.

From Xerain:
Rather than turning off the offeneding background using ZSNES, it is
better to change the video mode. Go under config and select video.
Put it to one of the 16B settings.
Use the 640x480x16B VESA2 setting, and if it runs slow, use the
320x240x16B VESA2 for similar effects, but lower resolution.
These are general ZSNES tips for all Roms. I am aware you may know
them (If you even use the rom, that is), but your readers may not.
If I come up with any more tips I'll be sure to let you know.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things You Can Collect: Iron Helm

The year 2300! Whoa! Head outside and to the structure below. It's
the Trann Dome. Buy what you need, rest in the Enertron. Now exit,
and go to hte upper right to reach Lab 16.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Lab 16
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things You Can Collect: Lode Sword, Lode Bow, Ether, Berserker

This is full of thieving rats. So avoid them. This is a great place
to build up your levels as well....there will be chests along the
way so pick them up too. Usually the direction is to go up, if not,
to the upper right. You will exit soon, and meet another huge
structure, the Arris Dome.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Arris Dome
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things You Can Collect: Mid-Ether x2

There will be lots of people surprised to see you. Use the Enertron
before going downstairs. Go to the left, and through the girder maze.
At the end, you will face the Guardian.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Guardian
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Level 9+ is sweet...just use normal attacks, maybe Crono's Cyclone
tech if needed. First, kill off the two Bits, as if you attack the
Guardian first they will all do a super move on you. Once they are
gone (it won't take long), pummel the Guardian with normal attacks.
The Bits will revive, so take them out again, and repeat once more to
kill the Guardian.

Enter the door at the top. You will see a dead person, and grab some
seeds off him. Open the chest, head back to catch the rat. Hold B
down to run, and A to catch it. Once you do, it will tell you that the
passcode is L&R&A.

Go back, re-surfacing to use the Enertron if needed, and then enter
then passcode at the console with a sparkling thing on it. A passage
to the door on the right will appear, enter the door.

*********************************************************************
From Alan Berck:
Hi! I'm here just to say that you have very nice FAQ. I would like to
point out that on some emulators, the keyboard will read the L + R
then A password as the L and R repeting.To make it work, get a
joystick, joypad, any other controller with 2 buttons. then plug it
in, and setL to one button and R to another. then press all 3 in the
correct order.

From Mitchell Mebane:
I read your Chrono Trigger FAQ, it is one of the best, and I've got
a few tips for you.

You stated that many people have said that they can't push the L+R+A
sequence, at the Arris Dome in 2300 A.D. Well, the problem isn't your
ROM, it isn't your emulator (this only occurs on emulators,) it's your
KEYBOARD.I had a heck of a time with this, until I read the ZSNES
help file(ZSNES.FAQ). The problem lies in the way the PC keyboard
sends its data tothe computer. You can only press a certain number
of buttons at a time, orthe keyboard cancels out the others. A couple
ways around this are: assignthe L, R, and A buttons to one key, such
as Page Up. Then, pressing that keyenters the code. Another way is to
assign them to the Ctrl, Alt, and Shiftkeys. Since the PC keyboard
accepts any combinations of the modifier keys,this works also. The
final way, my personal favorite, is to simply use ajoystick. I've got
a Microsoft SideWinder gamepad, and it is SWEEEET! Its buttons are
almost exactly the same as the SNES gamepad. Also, you can connect up
to four SideWinder pads together, this, in combination with the
keyboard, lets you use all the players in a MultiTap game. A Gravis
eXterminator gamepad would work well, too. (I'm not sure if you can
chain them, though.)
Another way to fix this is to emulate on a Mac. The Mac keyboards
don't have this problem (at least the iMac keyboards don't.)

Magus: Which means...assign L,R and A all to one key on the keyboard,
and press that to activate the door! It's so simple! (Lucky I've got a
good keyboard :-)

There's also a combo input button for ZSNES, in the Misc section I
think. Go into Misc, then Key Comb. and muck around there to figure
it out. Thanks Alan and Mitchell!!!
*********************************************************************

Fight your way through this small room, and enter the next big room.
BTW, with the Enertron nearby, this is an excellent place to build
up your levels. No crap. In the big room, work your way to the top,
more on the left side. Enter the door and you see a record of what
happened..in 1999. The destruction of the world by Lavos!!! Now
you're on a mission to stop that from happening.

Go back up to the top, and talk with Doan to recieve a Bike Key.
You'll need it to get through Lab 32 safely.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Lab 32
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things You Can Collect: Race Log

Go to the upper right to reach Lab 32. Inside, talk to the bike
thingy, and robots will come out. Then a racing dude will appear,
fend off the robots and challenge you to a race. This is easy, just
keep circling around him and save your boosts till the end. You can
also walk through the path instead of racing, you will gain some
levels and acquire the item which records your speed when doing the
race.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Proto Dome
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things You Can Collect: None

Now head to the building at your lower right. Defeat all the enemies,
go up and find a robot (Robo), who will be your next party member.
Lucca will repair him and you will have to leave a character behind
(I chose to leave Lucca behind, it's up to you). Then head out and
up to the Factory.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Factory
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things You Can Collect: Shelter, Hammer Arm, Titan Vest, Plasma Gun

At the Factory, use the panel in front of you. An enemy will drop
down, just use attacks to defeat it. Now go up, and to the right
elevator. Take the ladder to the lower floor, go left and grab the
Robin Bow. Now get on the conveyor belt, and get through three rooms
of enemies. Then hold down so you can get off. Go down, and up the
ladder. Go up, and to the right to pick up the chest. Go into the
door, and get the codes (B,B and X,A). Grab the chests, go out, and
into the door on the left. Get through here, and you will be at the
control panel. Enter both of those codes, and then go down the ladder
and left. Go up the door to get another code, XABY. Now return to the
entrance (you may want to go back to Proto Dome for the Enertron).

This time, go into the left elevator. Follow the path, and activate
the panel in the room with the lasers. Grab the chests, and either
go down the ladder or elevator. Enter the code, and turn the power
back on. Something goes wrong, so escape, using the ladder (elevator
doesn't work). On the way out, you'll meet Robo's "friends". They'll
beat him up, and the turn on you. Use Marle to heal, and use Crono's
Cyclone. When they are gone, you'll head back to the Proto Dome.
Lucca will repair Robo, and then you'll head into a gate.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
End of Time
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things You Can Collect: None

Whoa! Weird. Talk to the guy in the middle. Whenever he says "Hey",
he's got something to say. Try to leave and he'll say hey, and tell
you to go into the door above. There you'll meet Spekkio and learn
magic. You can also try to beat him to recieve some items. Once that
is done, you can either go back to your own time, or gain up lots
of levels.

To go back, go in the portal which says 1000 A.D. To build up, go
into the 65 Million B.C one, and once in there, go to the map. Go
right and when you reach the village, head to the upper right, you
will find a hunting range. Find the Nu (either at the top platform
at the bottom right, or at the top left or right, it's random). He
will take you down to 1 H.P with his attacks, but he won't kill you.
Everytime you beat him, you get like 30 tech points, and heaps of
EXP, so do this until you think you are ready to move on. Return
here often to build up.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
1000 A.D
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things You Can Collect: Speed Tab, Magic Tab

Ok, barge in on someone's house...Anyway, get out and head to the
south-east, that's where Melchior's Hut is. Before you do, you may
want to look around, first in the Elder's House for some items, then
to the Market to laugh at prices higher than what Bill Gates earns.
Once you reach Melchior, he'll tell you there's a vortex which will
take you back to Truce, so head into the mountains above (Heckran
Cave).

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Heckran Cave
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things You Can Collect: Ether x2, Mid Ether, Magic Scarf, Taban Vest

This should be easy for any RPG gamer to get through, just that in
the middle of the cave, where you can either go into the door at the
bottom left or bottom right, go in the bottom right first to grab
some treasure, then into the bottom left. There, walk through the
water and save. Now you'll have to face Heckran. He's quite easy,
level 12-15 or so is good. Just don't hit him when he challenges
you to, otherwise he'll counterattack. When you beat him, jump in
the whirlpool and go to into Lucca's House, speak to Taban and take
the armor. Now go to Leene Square, and warp back to the End of Time.
Now, you can either go to 600 A.D or be a psycho like me and level
up major in 65 Million B.C (Level 18? Hmm...). Levelling up will
help a lot, though. To Level 16 or 17 is good. Once you've done that,
head to 600 A.D.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
600 A.D
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things You Can Collect: Shelter, Ether, Jerky, Power Tab, Shelter,
                        Gold Helm

Get out of the canyon, and go downwards towards the bridge. Speak
with all of the knights there, and head up to Guardia Castle. Go
right and into the kitchen, speak with all the people there too. Now
leave and when you do, the chef will give you a Jerky. Take that to
the knights at the bridge. Make sure your party is Crono, Marle and
Lucca (with the Ice Sword and Fire Sword techs), then go across the
bridge. You will see Ozzie, and he will send skeletons after you. If
you have Lighting 2 for Crono, this should be too easy. Keep going
until you get to the end, and face Zombor.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Zombor
---------------------------------------------------------------------

As I said, make sure you have Marle and Lucca with you. Use Fire
Sword on the lower body, and Ice Sword on the upper body. The person
which isn't required for a tech can damage the other part or heal,
and the last person to hit him will get all of their MP stolen.

Go to the nearest Inn, rest. If you got the Naga-ette Bromide in the
Cathedral, the north most house on the west block will contain a guy
who wants it, talk to him and then open the drawer for a Tab. Now go
east and enter the Denadoro Mountain.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Denadoro Mountain
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things You Can Collect: Ether, Mid Ether x4, Revive x2, Mid Tonic x2
                        500G, 300G, 600G, Shelter, Hero Medal, Magic
                        Tab, Silver Erng, Silver Stud, Bent Sword


This should be quite easy to get through without directions, but
first, go straight up into the waterfall. There, you should acquire
a treasure of some sort. Then head back and go up the path to the
left, you'll meet Tata, the supposed "Hero". After that, head upwards
and follow the easy trail. Once you reach the two Free Lancers
standing on a waterfall, beat them, and then go down the left-hand
side of the waterfall. Hold left, you'll fall on a platform
containing treasure. Then fall to the right, pick up the treasure,
and head to the right, you'll appear on a path you just went on.

Keep going on past that part, when you reach the Kiwala (white
creature), keep talking to it for a Magic Tab. Keep going on until
you reach a cave, this is where Masa and Mune are. Before entering
though, make sure that you have Lucca in your party (with the Hypno
Wave tech).

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Masa and Mune
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Use Hypno Wave straight away, and focus all your attacks on one
member. Fire Sword and Uzzi Punch worked well for me, this is just a
warm-up battle....

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Masamune
---------------------------------------------------------------------

This is pretty tough. Whenever it says "storing tornado energy", use
Crono's Slash tech to get rid of it. Use one person to heal (Robo
preferably, he's got Cure Beam which cures multiple targets) while
the other two use an attack like Ice Sword or Fire Sword. Robo's Uzzi
Punch once again comes in handy here. It's hard, but it'll be over
soon.

Once you've beaten them, you'll get the Masamune, and get warped
out of here. Go down to Porre, and head into Tata's Home. Get the Hero
Medal from Tata, and go into the Cursed Woods.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Cursed Woods
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things You Can Collect: Shleter, Magic Scarf, Mid Tonic, Bent Hilt

Go all the way up to the top, and go down the bush to get into Frog's
home. Talk to him, but he won't join you. Open both of the apple like
chests to get an accesory and the other part of the Masamune.
Melchior's name will be on the sword, so visit him.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Melchior' Hut
---------------------------------------------------------------------

He'll tell you you need a special stone to forge the Masamune back
together...so head to the End of Time and warp to 65 Million B.C.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
65 Million B.C
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things You Can Collect: Berserker, Third Eye

At first, you'll be attacked by a group of Reptites. Use Crono's
Lightning 2 to take care of them. More will come, and so will
somebody who will beat them up for you. Finish all the rest, and have
a conversation with Ayla (your new party member). After that, head
down the canyon, and left to find the village. Go into the meeting
site, and join the party! Keep talking to Ayla throughout it and she
will challenge you to a "game" to win the Dreamstone. It's a soup
drinking contest, have that turbo A button pressed down! After you
win, you'll kinda fall asleep, and next morning you will find out
the Gate Key is missing!

Before going after the thief, you may want to trade with the
merchant in the bottom-right most hut. You'll need the items he has,
but you need to collect Petals, Fangs, Horns and Feathers to trade.
The easiest way to collect them is to go fight the Nu at the Hunting
Range, he gives you three of each whenever you beat him. Ruby Vests
are critical for some of the bosses which you will fight later on.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Item Name         Payment Needed
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Flint Edge        3 Fangs    3 Horns
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Rock Helm         3 Feathers 3 Horns
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Ruby Gun          3 Fangs    3 Petals
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Ruby Vest         3 Fangs    3 Feathers
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Sage Bow          3 Horns    3 Petals
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Stone Arm         3 Feathers 3 Petals

Once that is done, go south into the Forest Maze.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Forest Maze
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things You Can Collect: Mid Tonic x3, Revive x2, Mid Ether x2, Heal,
                        Shelter

First, you'll meet Kino and have a short conversation. For a maze,
this is easy. Grab all the chests you can see, and if your'e stuck
at any point, search for a vine or a ramp which will take you
lower/higher. Once you get to the very bottom of the screen, first
go up to collect the treasure before exiting.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Reptite Lair
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things You Can Collect: Mid Ether x2, Full Tonic x2, Rock Helm, Ruby
                        Vest, Full Ether

In this place, drop down the holes to get from room to room. Soon
you'll reach a big room with a Reptite guarding some treasure. The
room after that has a path which leads left, unless you want to go
back to the start, avoid that path and head straight. Soon you'll
meet Azala. Whatever you respond won't make a difference, you'll have
to fight Nizbel. I suggest having Robo and Marle in your party.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Nizbel
---------------------------------------------------------------------

First of all, you'll need to shock Nizbel with Crono's Lightning to
deal any decent damage to him. Then whack him with Ice Sword, Ice
Sword 2 if possible, and use Robo to heal or use Uzzi Punch.

After the battle, Azala will hand you back your key. Then you'll
appear back in the village, and say goodbye to Ayla. Head back to
the time gate and warp to 1000 A.D, Medina Village.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
1000 A.D
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things You Can Collect: Masamune

Go to Melchior's hut and show him the Dreamstone. He'll take one of
your other members downstairs to fix it. It won't take too long,
just don't talk to them. Once the Masamune is fixed, take it to Frog.
Finally, he'll join you. Now back to the End of Time so that Frog
can learn magic, and take him back to the Hunting Range in 65
Million B.C to gain some levels, and if your'e good enough, to get
Water 2.

After that, take Marle into your party and go to 600 A.D, east of
the Denadoro Mountain to find the Magic Cave. Enter the Magic Cave,
and Frog will use the Masamune to get through. Pass through this
very easy section and read the soldier's note, something about
Juggler's in Magus' Lair. Then head out, and up into Magus' Lair.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Magus' Lair
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things You Can Collect: Mid Ether x4, Shelter x2, Barrier x2, Magic
                        Tab x2, Mist Robe x2, Slasher, Dark Mail,
                        Revive, Speed Belt, Magic Scarf, Doom Finger

Whoa...Magus' Lair! That's where I got the name of my website from
(shamless plug coming up), please visit it at http://jump.to/magus
:-)

Go inside, and go to the left corridoor first. Go up, collecting all
the treasure on the way, and then go to the right and do the same.
Something strange is going on... a save point will appear in the
middle of the entrance hall. Step on it, and that fat bastard Ozzie
will appear. He'll say something about defeating all 100 of his
monsters. If you think he's lying, I dare you to count all of them.
Defeat his henchmen and then go back into the left corridoor. Go up,
fighting enemies if you want, and soon you'll meet Slash.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Slash
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Damn, he's got Crono's techs! The easiest way to kill him is to use
Arc Impulse (a triple tech, requires Crono's Spincut, Frog's Leap
Slash and Marle's Ice 2) if your three characters aren't hurting. If
they are, use either Frog or Marle to cure, and use a dual tech (if
it's Frog, X-Cut, if it's Marle, Ice Sword 1 or 2). Once you defeat
him, he'll attack again, use the same tactic.

Pick up the Slasher, and then use a shelter at the save point. Then
head to the left corridoor, and talk to the kids surrounding the
treasure. They'll turn into Shadows, easily fried by Lightning 2
(or any other level 2 elemental spell). Grab the treasure and head
up. You'll fight Flea...rather a fake Flea. Be careful, whoever hits
him/her will have their MP drained. Then you'll be taken into battle
with the real Flea.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Flea
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Ouch. She/he's quite hard, as she/he (I'll just call Flea it) keeps
using status changing spells (Chaos, Sleep). This time use Frog and
Crono's techs (Spire, X-Strike) and use Marle for healing and
recovery. It will take a while.

Now go back to the main entrance. You can either head back to where
Slash was to save and restore, or just go on the teleporter in the
centre. Once you do, follow the path until you reach Ozzie.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Ozzie
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Extremely easy, just don't hit Ozzie! Instead move the cursor around
to target the switch chain thingies. Hit all four of those targets
and you'll win.

The right save point is a save point, the left one a teleporter. Head
into the teleporter, follow the stairs and then enter Magus' inner
sanctum, which looks extremely cool. Head into battle with him.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Magus
---------------------------------------------------------------------

This is very hard. He keeps on changing barriers, and whatever magic
he casts is the type you have to use against him. I still used Crono,
Frog and Marle in my party. Attack him with Frog to change his
barrier, and use your most powerful type of magic on him. When he
risks casting a spell, quickly fire up Arc Impulse (Triple Tech), and
then after he casts it get ready to cure. Use Marle and Frog to cure
(Double Cure is great) and then repeat the process over again.

Once you beat him, something will happen, dragging all of you into a
gate...

---------------------------------------------------------------------
65 Million B.C
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey, your'e back in Ayla's place...after a few events take place,
Kino runs in and says that the North Ruins are on fire. Head there,
and listen in on Ayla's conversation. After that, get some new items
at the trading hut.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Item Name         Payment Needed
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Aeon Blade        3 Fangs    3 Horns
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Dream Bow         3 Horns    3 Petals
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Dream Gun         3 Fangs    3 Petals
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Magma Hand        3 Feathers 3 Petals
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Rock Helm         3 Feathers 3 Horns
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Ruby Vest         3 Fangs    3 Feathers

Now head up to the Dactyl's Nest.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Dactyl's Nest
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things You Can Collect: Mid Tonic, Mid Ether, Meso Mail

The enemies here give you some nice amounts of EXP, so level up if
you want. Follow the path, which is usually go up a ladder, around,
up a ladder again... and you'll reach the top soon. Ayla will be
there, with some Dactyl's. Take Frog and Marle out, and add Robo to
your party. Then fly south, and into the Tyrano Lair.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Tyrano Lair
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things You Can Collect: Full Ether x2, Full Tonic, Mid Ether, Tonic,
                        Revive, Cera Topper, Meso Mail

Head in and go down the stairs on the right. Find Kino and follow him
back upwards. He'll open the left path. Get through the easy castle,
using switches (usually skull heads) to get through. Most of the time
you'll have the switch in a room on the right, and it will open up
the door in the middle. There'll be a room coming up with two switches,
and if you press them, monsters fall from the sky =) Exit to the
right. Soon you'll reach a very annoying teleport room, where most
tiles take you to another place in that room. Teleport around to grab
the treasure, then exit via the stairs. Now, fight Nizbel 2.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Nizbel 2
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Easy, just use Lightning like you did with the first Nizbel and
Twister (Triple Tech) if you have it. Follow the steps you did to
take care of Nizbel one and you'll be fine.

After the battle, go outside. There's three switches on the floor,
the top switch is a save point, the left switch makes the floors open
and the right switch summons enemies to battle with you. Enter the
skulls' mouth for a chest, then head in the middle door. Soon, you'll
reach a bridge which leads outside, change Robo with Lucca. Fight
Azala and the Black Tyrano.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Black Tyrano/Azala
---------------------------------------------------------------------

First, concentrate everything on Azala. Fire Sword 2 works very well
here. Once he's done, just attack the Tyrano until he says "Removing
Defense". He'll start counting down, whack him with everything you
have until he reaches 0. Heal, and repeat the process again.

Lavos falls to the Earth...and the Tyrano Lair is gone. Go into the
crater which is left, and enter the gate. Which will take you to..

---------------------------------------------------------------------
12000 B.C
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things You Can Collect: Black Rock, Magic Tab

Reality aside, I think this place looks cool! With all the palaces
and so forth...plus they have some pretty cool music. If I could
live somehwere, it would be here...but enough said, let's get on with
it!

Get out of the cave you are in and head east. Enter the Skyway and
stand on the teleporter to be taken to Zeal, the floating continent.
Sounds like FF3. Anyway, go into the first palace there, Enhasa.
Inside will be three books on tables scattered around the place. You
have to open these elemental books in this order: Water, Wind, Fire.
Water is on the right side of the room, Wind at the top, and Fire near
the entrance. Change your party to Crono, Frog and Marle. Go into the
door which just opened up, near the Fire book. Inside are six Nu's,
beat them by using your second level elemental spells (Lightning 2,
Water 2, Ice 2) and if you have them, use Glacier (Frog and Marle'
dual tech) to really hurt them. You'll get heaps of EXP and two tabs.

If you need to heal find the healing circle (there's one in each
palace), and then head to the next Skyway. Go in, and when you get
out, go west to reach another Skyway, which will take you to the
other side of the Floating Continent. Enter the palace of Kajar and
do the same with the books, although I've forgotten the locations of
them it should be easy :-). A door will open somehwere, go in and
grab the Black Rock from the Poyozo Doll.

Get out, and go in the caves until you reach the main castle. Here,
find the healing circle (should be to the left somewhere) and speak
to the person with the sapling, and tell her to grow it. Do this if
you want to get the *best* ending. Then go to the upper right doorway
and into the room where Janus and Schala are. After the guard comes,
follow Schala, only to find out you can't open the sealed door with
Marle's pendant. Go to the left, speak to the sleeping Nu to get
through, and then go up to the Mammon Machine. Press A to charge the
pendant, then go and open the door you couldn't before.

Before heading on further, put Lucca, Crono and Frog in your party.
Have them all equip Ruby Vests, and then continue on. You'll meet
Dalton, who will summon a Golem to get rid of you.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Golem
---------------------------------------------------------------------

With this trick, this is easy. Whatever attacks you do are what it
does, so just use Fire attacks (see the purpose of the Ruby Vests?),
mainly Fire Sword 2. Use Frog to Heal. But if you win or lose, you
still get captured.

Watch the nice little scene that goes on. But what's not nice is
that the Prophet sends you back to where you came from. 65 Million
B.C. Damn, you can't even get back in! So head to the End of Time,
and talk to the old guy. He'll tell you to go to 2300 A.D, where
there are heaps of doors just like the one you opened in 12000 B.C.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
2300 A.D
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things You Can Collect: Full Ether x2, Power Tab, Hit Ring, Elixir,
                        Wallet, Charm Top, Gold Stud, Gold Erng, Magic
                        Tab, Lumin Robe

Open up the doors with the seals in Bonger Dome, Trann Dome and the
Arris Dome. You should pick up some extremely cool items, including
the Gold Stud (MP use cut by 75%! Sweet!). So don't miss out. When
you've picked them up, head to the Sewer Access, just below Lab 16.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Sewer Access
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things You Can Collect: 600G, Rage Band, Bolt Sword

The enemies here are extremely easy, and so shouldn't need too much
help here. There will be a piss easy boss on the way through, one
shot can kill him. Go through, and exit via the ladder. Then head to
the Keeper's Dome.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Keeper's Dome
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things You Can Collect: Epoch

Ok, there's a weird ass Nu hanging around, talk to him and then go
to the north door. Inside, read all of the shiny things to read notes
on Balthasar and his creation. Once you get around, you'll see his
creation...the Wings of Time/Epoch! The Nu will come around, ask you
to give it a name, tell you the controls, and after that, off you
go!!! Just whatever you do, don't go to 1999 A.D unless you want to
face Lavos. Now remember those seals? There's a few chests just like
that, so let's head back to 600 A.D and grab them.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
600 A.D-1000 A.D
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things You Can Collect: Blue Mail/Vest, Red Mail/Vest, White Mail/Vest,
                        Black Mail/Vest, Power Ring.

There are chests in these locations:

Truce Inn
Guardia Castle
Porre Elder's House
Guardia Forest
Magic Cave

Head to all of these locations and open the chests. If it says,
"Something inside is reacting, do you want to take it out" say no.
You'll get something better in the future. This is what I mean when
I say "upgrading". Now warp to 1000 A.D.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
1000 A.D
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things you can collect: Safe Helm, Swallow

Go to all of those locations to pick the chests up, but there is no
Magic Cave. However, there is the Heckran Cave, where there will be
some chests for you. Also, head to the blue thingy (Forest Pyramid)
above Medina to grab one of two chests. One contains a really good
helm, the other a pretty crappy weapon. Take the Helm, which I believe
is on the left. Also, put Lucca in your party, and visit her home.
Talk to Taban to recieve some armors for her. Now head back to
600 A.D.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
600 A.D
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Go to the chests which you said no to. Open them now to recieve a
weaker type of armor than what you got in 1000 A.D. And then head to
12000 B.C.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
12000 B.C
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things You Can Collect: Power Tab

Go west and enter the Terra Cave. It's the home of the Earthbound
Ones, as opposed to the Enlightened Ones. Don't buy weapons yet, you
need more money. Go down to the bottom and right. Put Ayla in your
party, and either Marle or Lucca. Go up until you reach the Imp and
the Beasts. Fight them.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Imp and Beasts
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Use Ayla's Charm to steal a pretty sweet helm from the Beasts. Now
use Fire on the Red Beast, Ice on the Blue. If you don't have them,
use Lightning or some attacking techs. After you beat them, use Rock
Throw on the Imp and it's all over.


From Ryan Ham:

Hi,
Your walkthru is great, really helping me.  One thing though, on the
part just before The mountin of Woe, about the beasts and the imp.  You
said to use fire on the red, and ice on the blue, I used fire on the red,
ad it did 0 damage, when I used fire on the blue, it did at least 500
damage.  I think you got those two mixed up.

Head back to heal, then go up into the Mountain of Woe.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Mountain of Woe
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things You Can Collect: Shield x2, Barrier x3, Lapis x2, Full Ether x2,
                        Lode Vest, Lode Helm, Time Hat, Shelter,
                        Ruby Knife

This is a top notch place to gain levels. Put Ayla and the person
whose levels and techs you want to build up in your party. There will
be these enemies called the Rubble who only appear once. They will
lock your party down (no techs or items), but with Ayla you can kick
it's arse easily. It gives you 100 tech points, so that's sweet.
Also, you can steal great weapons here, better than you can buy at
Terra Cave.

Explore this area carefully, it should be easy for you to grab
everything. The exits are in the northwest corner for the first
screen, at the very far east for the second, northeast for the next
one and in this screen, there are no enemies, just some stuff. Put
Ayla and Robo in your party. Go north to face Giga Gaia.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Giga Gaia
---------------------------------------------------------------------

I found this quite easy. First, he'll deal some damage, cure with
Robo and Ayla. Then use your most powerful attacks (Luminaire,
Shock) to get rid of the arms. Dual and Triple techs are great too.
Once the arms are gone, pummel the body. The arms should come back,
rinse, lather and repeat.

Hey... what the hell is Melchior doing here? Anyway, the Mountain
will collapse, so get back to the Terra Cave. You'll have a
conversation which involves that Dalton guy coming in and doing
something, along with Janus and Schala. After that, talk to Melchior
to recieve a Ruby Knife, which will help destroy the Mammon Machine.
Get out of here, go east to the Skyway and back up into the
Enlightened World, into Zeal.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Zeal
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things You Can Collect: None

Go into the Mammon Machine's room. You'll find out it's been moved.
So head into the main/middle corridoor, and at then end you'll find
Dalton.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Dalton
---------------------------------------------------------------------

He's too easy. Almost the same as Golem, you should just pound him
with phyiscal attacks and your most powerful magic spells.

After that, you can go back and heal on the healing circle, or just
head right into the gate. Which leads to the Ocean Palace.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Ocean Palace
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things You Can Collect: Aeon Suit, Rune Blade, Star Sword, Shock Wave,
                        Aeon Helm, Demon Hit, Elixir, Sonic Arrow,
                        Kaiser Arm

Okay, before venturing forth, here's a word of advice. Put Crono,
Lucca and Marle in your party. The enemies here are usually Scouts,
and there are three types: Blue, Red and Yellow. You can only use
Ice on the Blue, Fire on the Red and Lightning on the Yellow otherwise
they will heal themselves. Second, you'll most certainly come across
and Jinn and Barghest, kill the Barghest first as it is easier to
kill the Jinn then.

Save, talk to Masa (or Mune?) and then head into the room below you.
The way to go is into the south door, but you want to pick up some
nice treasure. The SW and SE rooms yield some nice items. When going
into the SW room, follow the left edge around to the bottom, and
then keep going right to reach a secret treasure chest. Watch out
and pick up all the treasures, they're awesome.

Once that's all done, go back into that first room and use the south
exit. Save, and then go down the stairs. There will be lots of hard
enemies and large groups of them too, so don't hesistate to use your
best spells. Follow the path all the way down, and you'll find Mune
(or Masa? Probably Mune). Go into the next room and save (use a
shelter, trust me). Then head onto the elevator, and use the
sparkling tab to get down. There are lots of enemies here, use your
best attacks (Delta Force may work nicely).

Once you are at the bottom, go up, and either to the east or west.
Destroy all the enemies in these rooms, pull the switch on the wall
and then repeat for the other room. A walkway in the middle will
open up, cross it. Save and shelter, and then make your party as
Crono, Marle and Frog. Equip the party with Ruby Vests, or things
which protect against Fire. Go up, and face the Golem Twins.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Golem Twins
---------------------------------------------------------------------

With the Ruby Vests, this is easy. Use Fire Sword 2, Frog to Heal and
occasionally Leap Slash. There! That's all to it.

Ok, unequip Crono of the good things he has. Trust me. Go forward,
and up to the Mammon Machine. Crono will use the Ruby Knife, no, the
Masamune, and chaos will rule. You'll now face Lavos. If you want to
beat him, go ahead, if not, read on.

Everyone will "die", and the Prophet will come along, revealing
himself to be the great Magus!!! He'll face Lavos but get his powers
drained. Crono will then wake up, go up to Lavos and press A. Then
Lavos and Crono will disappear, the "Floating Continent" will sink
into the sea, and tidal waves whack the crap out of everyone below.
Whoops.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Last Village to the Blackbird
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things You Can Collect: None

You'll wake up without Crono. Now pick three people in your party
(put Ayla in your party though) and head to the Commons. Dalton will
show up after you talk to the Elder, and capture you and your Epoch.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Blackbird
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things You Can Collect: Your own stuff back

Whoo....you've been captured. Now head up the ladder and climb it.
The air ducts are your way to travel. Press A on top of the lights
to look down. Head to a ladder somewhere near the top left corner
to reach one of your member's equipment. Now use an exit to get out,
and start rampaging around everywhere, entering all the rooms to
search for your items.

If you have Ayla, head south to the door and pretend to be sick.
The guard will come and Ayla will smack him good. Go out, and left into
the room with your money. Exit, go north, and you'll find two doors,
enter the left one, and take your items back. Exit, go north and climb
the ladder, into the ducts. Move all the way east, south, east, then
north. Head west, and climb down the ladder, to get one person's
equipment back. Exit this room via the south door, head east, enter
the door and get another character's euqipment. One more. Climb the
nearby ladder, into the ducts, head west, south at the crossroads,
south again at the crossroads, then west, and climb down the ladder to
pick up the last chest. Exit the room and move north.

You'll enter a new screen soon, the room on the left has a ladder
leading up to the deck. The Turrets here use Lock All on you, but
when you kill them you get heaps of tech points and EXP. Sweet. Get
to the end, and you'll face a Golem Boss.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Golem Boss
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Just attack it. He can't hurt you.

You'll see Dalton flyling below. You'll jump down and fight him.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Dalton
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Use all that you have, even though he's damn easy, it makes it
quicker. He'll call Golem Boss, but he's gone.

Oh no, Epoch out of control!!! Follow the commands and you'll land
back in the Commons. From here, head to the North Cape (which is
north). Go to the shimmering dot and touch it to meet Magus. Here,
you can either get him in your party or fight him. I strongly suggest
getting him, as he has all elemental magic and VERY good shadow magic!
Now he tells you that the Guru of Time can bring Crono back to life.
So head in your Epoch (now controllable!) and fly to the End Of Time.
The Black Omen will rise up, ignore it until the very end. BTW,
always keep Magus in your party from this point onward.

If you didn't want Magus to join...

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Magus
---------------------------------------------------------------------

This will be one of the toughest battles yet. The secret here is to
use Ice 2 and Cure 2 as often as you can, as Ice 2 deals the most
damage and Cure 2 heals you up fully. Whenever the great one attacks,
retaliate with Ice 2, then wait to see how much his next hit does
before killing you. Of course, if you get down below 200 HP, heal.

After the battle, pick up the Amulet, and he'll blabber on about the
End of Time, and how the Guru can help you bring Crono back...

---------------------------------------------------------------------
End of Time-2300 A.D
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things You Can Collect: Chrono Trigger

Get to the End of Time, and talk to the Old Man, who is actually the
Guru of Time! Go to Spekkio so that Magus can learn Shadow magic,
and then try to leave. The Old Man (Gaspar) will talk to you about
the Chrono Trigger, and how to use it to bring Crono back. But
bringing Crono back is a sub-quest, and is not neccessary although
I recommend you do it.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Subquests
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Purely optional, but these quests are damn worth it. And always keep
Magus in your party, not only because he's good, but so he can learn
his Shadow magic faster.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Subquest 1: Saving Crono
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Head to 1000 A.D and pick up the clone of Crono at his house (I told
you you would need it!) and then head to 2300 A.D, to the Keeper's
Dome.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Keeper's Dome
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things You Can Collect: None

Talk to the Nu. It will execute a program, sending three dolls to
help you on your way through Death Peak. After that, turn him off,
and head outside and into the mountain to reach Death Peak. A
suggested party is Robo, Magus and Frog.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Death Peak
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things You Can Collect: Magic Ring, Vedic Blade, Wall Ring,
                        Memory Cap, Giga Arm, Brave Sword, Star
                        Scythe, Dark Helm

The three dolls here will aid you on your journey. In the first
screen, RUN to the first doll and speak to it. It will turn into a
tree, hide behind it until the wind dies down. Keep repeating this
process, remembering to always run otherwise you will get blown off.

Now explore your way through, and you will reach a flat area with a
save point. Save, then head into the left cave. You'll face a Lavos
Spawn.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Lavos Spawn
---------------------------------------------------------------------

DO NOT HIT THE SHELL! It will kick the crap through you if you do.
Aim all attacks for the head (Uzzi Punch, Leap Slash and Dark Bomb).
It will go soon, and there are three of these on the mountain.

Go up, to the right, and re-enter the cave. Go down, hit the switch,
then head back to the Save Point. Save of course, then head up
through the middle, and when you are outside again, you'll face
another Lavos Spawn.

Go left, in this screen there will be a doll who says that it's very
slippery or something like that. My advice? Run across the ledge,
as fast as you can. Or you'll end up back at the Save Point. In the
next screen, head down into the next screen and reach the last doll.
I've forgotten what it said, but go down and kill the Spawn, and
push the shell up to the ladder you can't reach so you can climb it.
Up the top of the ladder, enter the next screen, go up the top and
watch a sequence, and you'll have Crono back! Yay! Now you'll arrive
at the End Of Time, talk to Gaspar and everyone but Crono to learn
more about the subquests.

                        Ether, Power Tab, Green Dream

In 12000 B.C, you talked to the woman about planting the seed,
right? Go to 600 A.D and to the continent where Porre is. There will
be a house and a whirlpool in the middle. Go into the house, speak
with Fiona and Marco, then put Marle, Frog and Magus as your party.
Head into the whirlpool.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Whirlpool
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Lots of treasure here...and enemies. Hold run to get most of them.
Head down one screen, and catch Retinite to fight it.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Retinite
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Use Ice or Water magic on the bottom first, as it lowers it's
defense. Then attack it with all you have, and repeat with the top.
Keep curing, don't forget, and Leap Slash is handy here. Don't use
any other magic spells.

After this, grab the rest of the treasure and put Robo in your party.
Speak to Fiona, then leave him with her. Go to 1000 A.D and into the
shrine to pick up Robo. BTW, one of the nuns sells good defense items.

Go out, and you'll appear in a camp. You'll discuss something, and
you'll have control of Lucca. Go right and into the red gate. you'll
be in her room, go down the stairs and into the main room. Her mum
will be there, go to the white panel and enter L,A,R,A to stop her
from dying. Half-dying. It doesn't matter if she dies or not. Go
back into the Gate, you'll meet Robo and grab the Green Dream
(whenever you die, you regenerate. Once).

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Subquest 3: Ozzie's Fort
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Remember that green fat piece of crap? Well, he's still around in
600 A.D. Dump Ayla, Magus and probably Robo in your party, and go to
his fort. It's on an island in 600 A.D.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Ozzie's Fort
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things You Can Collect: Full Ether, Magic Tab, Sight Cap, Dash Ring,
                        Magus' Best Equipment

Head in and Ozzie will see Magus. And run. So follow him, and soon
you'll have to face Flea Plus. It's not really a boss, just whack
him and he'll run after a short while. Next is a screen with monsters
which just come and leave as fast as they came. You'll understand.
After that, you'll face Super Slash. Just attack him as fast as you
can.

After that, you'll be in a room with Ozzie and a treasure chest.
Ignore it, and head to the exit. An Imp will try to take it but die.
Ozzie will run. Grab the chest, and before exiting, go to the very
right wall and go down to reach a secret room with Magus' best
equipment. Now go out and face Ozzie, Flea and Slash.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Ozzie, Flea and Slash
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Don't go for Ozzie! They'll do a triple tech on you. First, Charm an
item off each of them, then pound either Flea or Slash (Flea is who
I went for) and then the other will run, leaving just Ozzie to beat.
Use Shadow magic, Uzzi Punch and your other stronger techs.

Head up to meet Ozzie again. Hit the switch, fall down, and then
just head back into the room. A cat will come in and make Ozzie fall
down a pit.

If you go to Medina Village in 1000 A.D, everything is cheapo!!! Go
there to stock up on items and etc.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Subquest 4: A Ghost Named Cyrus
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things You Can Collect: Toma's Pop, Tools, Hyper Ether, Elixir, Siren,
                        Valkerye, Shiva Edge, Kali Blade, Nova Armor,
                        Moon Armor, Magic Tab

Go to 600 A.D, the Choras village, and go in the Cafe. Talk to the
person drinking beer, and Toma. Then go to 1000 A.D, and to Toma's
Grave. Go behind the tombstone, press A, then go in front of it and
press A. He'll tell you the location of the Rainbow Shell (another
quest).

Now go to the Cafe and talk to the beer drinker who will say you
can borrow his tools. Go into a house nearby and talk to his wife
to get the tools. Go to 600 A.D and give the tools to the guy in
the Cafe. Go to his house and they will get to work at the Northern
Ruins.

Go to it, and defeat all of the monsters but don't open any chests.
Then go back and let them repair it again, at a cost of 2000g. Then
go back to the ruins, to the west wing and into the door there.
You'll get the Masamune upgraded when you speak to the grave.

Go back to the carpenter, he'll fix the rest of it up. Now go
through, not opening any chests but still talk to them. If they
say "something inside is reacting" answer "no" and continue on. Once
you've seen everything, go to 1000 A.D and open all of the chests
here. Then go back to 600 A.D to collect them again.

Now put Frog in your party, head to the Denadoro Mountains in
600 A.D. Go through again until you reach a part where a Free Lancer
is throwing rocks at you, Frog will catch one and it will turn into
a Gold Rock.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Subquest 5: The Sun Stone
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things You Can Collect: Sun Stone/Moon Stone, Wondershot, Sun Shades

Go to 65 Million BC and into the trader's hut. Get a Ruby Armor,
equip that, the Red Mail and Red Vest on your party. If you don't
have them, just equip Ruby Armors. Now go to 2300 A.D and find the
Sun Palace (talk to Lucca at the End Of Time to see what it looks
like). Enter and face the Son of Sun.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Son of Sun
---------------------------------------------------------------------

It's like roulette. Only use physical attacks, no magic. You can't
hit him, only the fireballs around him. But only one of them is the
right one, the one which will deal damage to him. So it's a matter
of guess and whack as fast as you can before he spins them around.
With the Red/Ruby Armor/Vests it should be easy, as if you guess
wrong he'll do a Fire attack which your armor will defend. Otherwise,
if you hit the right one, go nuts and rush it.

After that, go up, and collect the Moon Stone. Head to 65 Million
BC, and find the Sun Keep (on an solitary island). Place the Moon
Stone there, and go to 2300 A.D, and into the Sun Keep. The stone's
gone. Go to the Keep in 600 A.D. It's there. So head into 1000 A.D,
and to Porre. There'll be a sparkling house, go into it and talk to
all of the liars. Go to the Snail Stop, buy the Jerky, and head to
600 A.D. Enter the house and GIVE the Jerky to the woman. Now back in
1000 A.D, the house will still sparkle but the guy will give the
stone to you. Place it back in the Sun Keep, then go to 2300 A.D to
get it back as the Sun Stone (you have to have Lucca in your party).

Now go to Lucca's House in 1000 A.D, she and her dad will forge the
Wondershot (a weapon for herself) and the Sun Shades (attack up by
1/4...sweet).

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Subquest 6: Where Machines Originated
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things You Can Collect: Magic Tab x2, Vigil Hat, Lapis, Megaelixir,
                        Full Ether, Crisis Arm, Terra Arm

Put Robo in the lead of your party and go to the Geno Dome in 2300
A.D. Enter, talk to the machine and you will get access to the Geno
Dome. Now put the characters you want to level up in now, as this
conveyor belt is a top-notch place to build up your levels. Once that
is done, go right. If you talk to the sparkling thing it will ask
you if you want to go down the chute. Do this repeatedly to gain
lots of levels (you end up back at the entrance).

Right in front of you is a pod, press the switch to open it (for
purposes later on). Go to the west , and fight the two enemies there.
But don't go up that path, instead head to the one next to it.
You'll see a computer and some enemies, kill them. Talk to the
computer to grab some info. Next open up the pod nearby, it's a
charging station. Then go to the door on the left, and go up. Hit
the left and rightmost switches, then go back to the charging station
next to the computer. Stand in it until you have this thing wrapped
around you, then RUN to the pod below the switches. You'll open the
door, go in and grab the doll.

Get charged again and RUN to the pod above the entrance. Go in the
door that opened up and grab the treasure (plus 50000G!!) Now go
around and up on the conveyor belt, watch the robot at the top. Then
go back, enter the first room for some treasure and some enemies.
The other room is an elevator, get in there. Once out, you can head
south for a save point. Then go to the door in the north wall, and
go through the passage. There will be a voice speaking to you...
anyway, go up, defeat the enemies, and go into another elevator.

You're back in the main room. Go left just like the robot did and
hit the switch there to change the direction of the conveyor belt.
Then go back and down. Hit the laser switch, and then go back to get
charged. Now RUN as fast as you can, back to the conveyor belt, and
into the remaining pod. You'll open the door, grab the treasure and
make the robot follow you back to the place where you killed the two
enemies when you first entered this main room. Then go up, and place
the robot in front of the other to short-circuit them. Grab
everything and go back to the elevator. Go up, and save. Equip Robo
with the best things you have, and go west. You'll see his girlfriend,
Atropos, and you'll have to fight her with just Robo.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Atropos
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Use either Area Bomb or Uzzi Punch and you've got this one in the
bag. Don't forget to heal.

Run at the switch in the wall above you with Robo, it'll open and
let you in. Then go out and to the west, climb down the ladder,
into the door, through the east and pick up the treasure. Then head
back up, and continue going straight. You'll fight some Laser Guards,
and when they are all gone put the dolls on the green switches, go
forward and fight the Mother Brain. BUT before that put Robo, Crono
and Magus in your party.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Mother Brain
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, full on attacks, nothing else. Use Shock, Luminaire and
Lightning 2/Dark Mist. Don't stop to heal or anything, because it's
just too easy. BTW, don't worry about the two side computers, one
Shock or Luminaire can take 'em out.

When she's dead, you'll get some weapons. The dome will close down
pernamently, and that's it.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Subquest 7: The Rainbow Shell
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things You Can Collect: Power Tab x3, Full Ether, Sight Cap, Blue
                        Rock, Lapis, Mid Ether, Frenzy Band

While doing subquest 4, you should have spoken to Toma, right? He
showed you the location of the Giant Claw, a cave which holds the
Rainbow Shell. Head to it in 600 A.D.

Enter, read the note, and go through the door at the bottom. Hey...
doesn't this look like the Tyrano Lair? Duh...it is! Keep on moving
through it, as it is very easy to find your way around. Soon you'll
reach a screen with three switches, the middle is a save, the left
to open up a pit and the right to drop monsters. You escape by
falling down the pit.

Soon after that, you'll end up at the previous entrance to the Tyrano
Lair. Once you fall down into the cell which held the Laruba civilians
captive, make your way to Kino's cell, save, put on fire protection,
go up, and fight another Tyrano, the Rust Tyrano.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Rust Tyrano
---------------------------------------------------------------------

It will use that stupid countdown attack every now and then, so be
careful. When it's counting, pound it with all you have. When it's
not, just heal and attack. Be careful, the longer the battle goes,
the shorter the countdown gets. And the bigger the damage.

Go forward to grab the Shell, but it's too damn heavy!!! So exit,
and you'll appear in Guardia Castle. The King's soldiers will collect
it for you. Now put Marle in your party and go to Guardia Castle,
1000 A.D.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Guardia Castle
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things You Can Collect: Lapis, Hyper Ether, Elixir, Prism Helms/Prism
                        Dress, Prism Specs, Rainbow

The King's on trial...for selling the Rainbow Shell! Find the
courtroom, and try to get in. You'll fail, so head down to the new
wing of the castle, where the Shell is. You'll need to grab a piece
to show that it's all a hoax set up by the Chancellor. So get to the
Shell, read the note, grab a shard and head back to the courtroom.

They still won't let you in, but Marle will think of a way to get in.
She crashes in through a window, and then the Chancellor will reveal
himself to be Yakra number something. You've gotta fight him.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Yakra XIII
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Use Haste if you have it, if not, just use your most powerful Triple
Techs, and Dual Techs. He'll you some pretty powerful attacks, if
you're hurting, use Frog or Robo to heal and the other two to pound
him.

Watch the scene, and Melchior will come up and ask you to meet him
in the treasury. But, go back in the courtroom, pick up the shiny
thing (Yakra Key), and find the locked chest in one of the rooms
adjacent to the stairway. Unlock it and the real Chancellor will
appear.

Back in the treasury, at the Shell, Melchior will make you either
a Prism Dress or 3 Prism Helms. Dress is the best ladies' armour,
Helms are the best Helms. If you have the Sun Stone, talk to him
again and he'll make you the Prism Specs and Rainbow. Rainbow is the
most powerful sowrd for Crono, Prism Specs ups attack power by
half. Put them on Crono and you've got yourself a war machine.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Subquest 8: The Black Omen
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Things You Can Collect: Megaelixir x6, Magic Seal, 30000G, Magic Seal
                        Vigil Hat, Elixir x2, Nova Armor, Haste Helm
                        Zodiac Cape, Power Seal, Speed Tab x4, White
                        Rock
						
To get in, fly to 12000 BC, 600 AD or 1000 AD, fly under it and get
in. If you destroy it in 12000 BC, it won't appear again, but if you
destroy it in 1000 AD, you can go back to 600 AD and do it all over
again. A very, very nice way to gain some levels.

Ok, I say make your party Ayla, Robo and either Crono or Magus. Crono
would be best for this situation as if you have the Rainbow and Prism
Specs you can do a heap of damage. Robo's the healer and Ayla can
Charm a whole heap of good stuff. The enemies to Charm off are the
bosses, Flyclops, Synchrite, Ruminator and Goon. You'll get Gold
Erng and Stud, Megalixirs and Nova Armors :-)

Before you enter, there will be Laser Guards at the door. A good
dose of Lightning 2 or a Falcon Hit will dispose of them. Inside,
you'll meet Queen Zeal and she'll bring out the Mega Mutant.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Mega Mutant
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, it's got lots of very damaging attacks. Every now and then it
will pull off an attack which will take you down to 1 HP, so use
techs which hit both halves of the monster.

Keep going north, and to get a save point, kill all of the monsters
there (don't forget to Charm). Then head north, and kill the panels
to continue. Keep on heading north, fight some hard battles and
step into the teleporter.

You'll be heading down an elevator now, and whenever you move you'll
be fighting a battle (well, for me anyway).Get through this next
room while picking up the very important treasures, and soon you'll
be in a room with two Nus and a save. One of them will ask you
something about do you want to wake up, if you choose wake up, you'll
be sent off the ship. The other one sells items.

Continue heading north, and you'll reach a room with a queue of
Ruminators. Kill them to get through, and follow the path around,
south past that Tubster enemy, and in the room with a teleporter,
ignore it and go west for a Speed Tab. Then go in the teleporter.

Head into the next room, north west, east past those enemies, north
and east to reach some chests. To the west of here is a save, save
and go north to face the Giga Mutant.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Giga Mutant
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Only use magic here, I suggest putting Magus and Crono in your party
for this one. Watch out, the top counters with a MP drain, the bottom
with a Lifeshaver. Just use your most powerful magic (Dark Matter,
Luminaire, Shock, Flare, delta Triple Techs) to get this over with.

Go back and use a Shelter, you'll need to be back to full strength.
Go north into the teleporter, onto the elevator and exit up top.
Continue north until the panels, save and face the Terra Mutant.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Terra Mutant
---------------------------------------------------------------------

My strategy was to just hit the top, as the bottom is healed by magic.
Single magic attacks (Dark Bomb) work nice on the top, otherwise
use dual/triple techs which are only aimed at the top. Don't try
touching the bottom half at all.

A chest here contains the White Rock. Go north all the way to reach
a Lavos Spawn.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Lavos Spawn
---------------------------------------------------------------------

It's twice as good as the ones on Death Peak. Hit the head only with
your most powerful attacks.

Go north, face the panels, and save. Equip some Blue armor (to your
healer) and get ready for a long fight/s. In the next room or so will
be the Mammon Machine, Queen Zeal will appear and fight you.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Queen Zeal
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Having Frog here is quite useful. Pound her to death, and when she
uses Halation, have Frog use Frog Squash and have someone Cure right
after that. Always cure your party, otherwise they'll be wiped out
real quick. When you beat her, she sends you into the Mammon Machine.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Mammon Machine
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Hard. If you physically hit it, it's defense wil go up, if you
magically attack it, it's power increases. It's also got two phases,
dormant and active. Use active to kill, dormant to heal. My tip?
Conserve MP, and use physical attacks (Crono, Rainbow, Prism Specs,
whoo-hoo!).

Now your'e on top of the Omen. If Magus is here you can watch a
battle of words go on, and if you do have Magus there his music will
play in the background of the battle (sweet!). Anyway, you'll still
have to fight her.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Zeal
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Whoa. One head, two hands. Charm the Hands for a Prism Dress/Helm.
Killing the head will end the battle. Heal very often and use your
best attacks on the head (Triple Techs, Antipode, Ice/Fire Sword,
Swordstream, etc.) and when you half-kill it, it uses Halation and
then a MP buster. I suggest using a Megaelixir after that, then
pounding it again. Good luck.

After she's gone, she'll mumble something to Lavos, the Black Omen
will be destroyed and you'll be near...Lavos.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
The Final Battle with Lavos
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, four ways to get here. The first is through the Black Omen,
second the bucket in the End of Time, third the teleporter in Leene
Square and fourth the Epoch. There is also the part in 12000 BC, when
Crono sacrifices himself.

You can fight Lavos at these points in the game to get different
endings:

At the start of the game, through the teleporter
After your first trip back from 600 AD
Just after you get to the End of Time
Before getting the Hero Medal
Between getting the Hero Medal and Masamune
After you get the Masamune, before seeing Frog.
After Frog has the Masamune, before facing Magus for the first time
After beating Magus and before the Tyrano Lair
After Tyrano Lair, before Lavos in the Ocean Palace
After seeing Schala opening the door (don't charge your pendant)
At the end of the game, after the subquests

To hell with that, let's beat him! BTW, if you fight on the Epoch,
you'll lose it in the end. The Epoch, that is.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Lavos Shell
---------------------------------------------------------------------

This part only applies to those who came in any other way than via
the teleporter and at the Ocean Palace, I think. First, it assumes
the form of previous bosses. They are Dragon Tank, Guardian,
Heckran, Zombor, Masamune, Nizbel, Magus, Black Tyrano, and Giga Gaia.
After you beat each one, it will give you time to rest. Go up to the
shell to fight again.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Dragon Tank
---------------------------------------------------------------------

First, aim all attacks at the head (normal attacks). Heal when needed
too. When the head is gone, start attacking the body. This is too
easy.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Guardian
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Just use normal attacks, maybe techs to get it done faster. First,
kill off the two Bits, as if you attack the Guardian first they will
all do a super move on you. Once they are gone (it won't take long),
pummel the Guardian with normal attacks. The Bits will revive, so
take them out again, and repeat once more to kill the Guardian.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Heckran
---------------------------------------------------------------------

He's quite easy. Just don't hit him when he challenges you to,
otherwise he'll counterattack.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Zombor
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Use Fire magic on the lower body, and Ice magic on the upper body.
The person which isn't required for a tech can damage the other part
or heal.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Masamune
---------------------------------------------------------------------

This is pretty tough. Whenever it says "storing tornado energy", use
Crono's Slash tech to get rid of it. Use one person to heal (Robo
preferably, he's got Cure Beam which cures multiple targets) while
the other two use an attack like Ice Sword or Fire Sword. Robo's Uzzi
Punch once again comes in handy here. It's hard, but it'll be over
soon.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Nizbel
---------------------------------------------------------------------

First of all, you'll need to shock Nizbel with Crono's Lightning to
deal any decent damage to him. Then whack him with Ice Sword, Ice
Sword 2 if possible, and use Robo to heal or use Uzzi Punch.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Magus
---------------------------------------------------------------------

This is very hard. He keeps on changing barriers, and whatever magic
he casts is the type you have to use against him. Attack him with
Frog (with the Masamune) to change his barrier, and use your most
powerful type of magic on him. When he risks casting a spell,
quickly fire a Triple Tech), and then after he casts it get ready
to cure.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Black Tyrano
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Just attack the Tyrano until he says "Removing Defense". He'll
start counting down, whack him with everything you have until he
reaches 0. Heal, and repeat the process again.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Giga Gaia
---------------------------------------------------------------------

I found this quite easy. First, he'll deal some damage, so cure. Then
use your most powerful attacks (Luminaire, Shock, etc.) to get rid
of the arms. Dual and Triple techs are great too. Once the arms are
gone, pummel the body. The arms should come back, rinse, lather and
repeat.

After all the bosses, you'll fight the Lavos Mouth, where the
teleporter people end up at. Full scale attacks are required, don't
stop. Keep pounding him with your best spells, and heal if required.

That's one part of him dead. If you came in through the bucket or
Black Omen, a Gate and save are here. The Gate takes you back to the
End of Time. If you want to know which party I used for the battle
ahead, it was Crono, Magus and Robo. Waste all the Speed Tabs on Robo,
Magic Tabs on Magus and Power Tabs on Crono. Now head up forward,
and you'll fight the Lavos Machine.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Lavos Machine
---------------------------------------------------------------------

It will attack you straight away, heal and get rid of the arms as
fast as you can. The right arm has more HP than the left, use your
most powerful attacks and spells on it. Once they are gone, wait for
the body/head to use Obstacle and then you can attack it. Whack it as
hard as you can, as if you take too long it will use an extremely
damaging attack on you. It shouldn't be too hard though. When it's dead,
it will make a speech and watch the scene. After the scene, get ready
for the final battle.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Lavos Core
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Very annoying, your'e in some sort of warp. Watch out for Rock of
Ages and Evil Star, heal right after that. Meanwhile, use your best
group attacks while healing (with Robo). Don't be afraid to use your
items up. The Core is on the right, and the others are the bits (left
is the healer, middle is the body). First, concentrate on the two bits,
and when they are gone go for the Core. It will regenerate the bits,
and then go for the Core. Once that's gone, go for the bits and they
may revive the Core. If they do, just keep hitting the Core until
it dies and go for the bits. The healing bit is a bugger, take that
out too. Persist and it will die. Then you'll be swallowed into a
time warp, and the ending will play....

---------------------------------------------------------------------
4)Endings
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Depending on the conditions in which you fought Lavos, you can get
one of these endings:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
1.Game Over. Lose to Lavos to get this.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
2.Behind the Scenes. At the start of the game, through the teleporter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
3.Something's wrong with Guardia Castle...After your first trip back
from 600 AD and before going into Guardia Castle.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
4.The Nu. Just after you get to the End of Time, and before you go to
600 AD again.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
5.Tata' Discovery. After Zombor, before getting the Hero Medal
---------------------------------------------------------------------
6.Assorted. Between getting the Hero Medal and Masamune
---------------------------------------------------------------------
7.The Gurus. After you get the Masamune, before you give it to Frog
---------------------------------------------------------------------
8.Frog and Magus. After Frog has the Masamune, before facing Magus for
the first time
---------------------------------------------------------------------
9.The Reptites. After beating Magus and before the Tyrano Lair
---------------------------------------------------------------------
10.The Prophet. After Tyrano Lair, before Lavos in the Ocean Palace
---------------------------------------------------------------------
11.The Girls Chat. After seeing Schala opening the door (don't charge
your pendant)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
12.No Crono. Don't revive Crono.
12a Have the Epoch
12b Don't have the Epoch
---------------------------------------------------------------------
13.Complete Ending. Do all of the subquests and revive Crono.
13a Have the Epoch
13b Don't have the Epoch

You get New Game + this way.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
So there are all the endings, I won't spoil them for you. I mean, what
happens in them.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
5)Beat Spekkio!
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Like many other people I know, at first I had trouble beating Spekkio.
So here's a guide on how to beat him and what you'll get after you do.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Crono on Level 1-19
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Spekkio will have 800HP, and will appear as a white Kiwala. Honestly,
this is quite easy. Put Marle and Lucca in your party, and fire up
the elemental spells, and including the Triple Tech. You get 1 Magic
Tab and 5 Ethers for winning.

From RPGenius-
At Level 11 Spekkio is actually a frog. Magus:Okay, I made a mistake
then.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Crono on Level 20-29
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Spekkio will have 2200 HP, and will appear as a blue Goblin. Just
use the same tactic from above, maybe use Ayla. You'll get 1 Magic
Tab and five Mid-Ethers for winning.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Crono on Level 30-39
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Spekkio will have 4800 HP, and will appear as a red Omnicrone. I
suggest using Crono, Frog and Robo. Robo can heal while Frog and
Crono can do some serious damage via Swordstream and Spire. Triple
Raid is good too, you'll get 1 Magic Tab and 5 Full Ethers for your
efforts.

From Cosmo2-
On Spekio Level 30-39, you mentioned that Triple Raid might help,
however, all physical attacks always miss on Spekkio. Magus: I'm
pretty sure that didn't.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Crono on Level 40-98
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Spekkio will have 10000 HP, and will appear as Masa & Mune. It's
hard, now that you have Magus, wait until you get his Dark Matter
spell. Combine that with Crono and Frog and you are unstoppable.
You'll get 1 Magic Tab, 1 Speed Tab, 1 Power Tab and 10 Elixirs for
your efforts.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Crono on Level **
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Spekkio will have 20000 HP, and will appear as a pink Nu. This is
hard. But stick to the Crono, Magus/Robo, Frog formula and you will
be fine. For your efforts you'll get a whopping ten of each: Magic
Tabs, Power Tabs, Speed Tabs and Megaelixirs!!!!

---------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Upgrading is the art of waiting patiently to get better items. I'm
talking about the sealed chests. When you go up to them in 600 A.D,
examine it and choose not to take the object out. Then, go to 1000
A.D, pick up the "upgraded" item, then return to 600 A.D and recieve
the normal item.

And the New Game +. Well, to get it, you've got to complete everything
the walkthrough says, you can't skip a subquest, kill Magus, or not
revive Crono. After you're done, reset the console, and you'll get a
New Game + option that allows you to start a New Game, while retaining
the level and items, weapons, armor etc. of an already saved save
slot. Cool, huh?

11)FAQs
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. How long will this take to finish?

A. Improper, low levels, and no sub-quests will probably be 20 hours plus.
Follow the guide, good high levels and all sub-quests? 40 hours plus, but it's
worth it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. When i walk into the Trann Dome in Chrono, all I can see is smoke. Is that
how it is supposed to be? It's a ROM. Would that have anything to do with that,
or is that how it looks in the SNES cart? Please help!!!

A. No, use the 1-5 buttons on the keyboard to change the graphics settings,
it's
like that. But when you take the fog off, you can't see the text. Bummer.

From Xerain:
Rather than turning off the offeneding background using ZSNES, it is better to
change the video mode. Go under config and select video. Put it to one of the
16B settings.
Use the 640x480x16B VESA2 setting, and if it runs slow, use the 320x240x16B
VESA2 for similar effects, but lower resolution.
These are general ZSNES tips for all Roms. I am aware you may know them (If you
even use the rom, that is), but your readers may not. If I come up with any
more
tips I'll be sure to let you know.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. When I'm in the Arris Dome, entering the password, I enter it but can't seem
to go anywhere, help?

A. A door opens on the top right-hand corner, and a platform should drop. Hold
L,R and then press A, that might work. I've had many questions about this, it's
usually just the way you're pressing the buttons.

From Alan Berck:
Hi! I'm here just to say that you have very nice FAQ. I would like to
point out that on some emulators, the keyboard will read the L + R then
A password as the L and R repeting.To make it work, get a joystick,
joypad, any other controller with 2 buttons. then plug it in, and set
L to one button and R to another. then press all 3 in the correct order.

From Mitchell Mebane:
I read your Chrono Trigger FAQ, it is one of the best, and I've got a few
tips for you.

You stated that many people have said that they can't push the L+R+A
sequence, at the Arris Dome in 2300 A.D. Well, the problem isn't your ROM,
it isn't your emulator (this only occurs on emulators,) it's your KEYBOARD.
I had a heck of a time with this, until I read the ZSNES help file
(ZSNES.FAQ). The problem lies in the way the PC keyboard sends its data to
the computer. You can only press a certain number of buttons at a time, or
the keyboard cancels out the others. A couple ways around this are: assign
the L, R, and A buttons to one key, such as Page Up. Then, pressing that key
enters the code. Another way is to assign them to the Ctrl, Alt, and Shift
keys. Since the PC keyboard accepts any combinations of the modifier keys,
this works also. The final way, my personal favorite, is to simply use a
joystick. I've got a Microsoft SideWinder gamepad, and it is SWEEEET! Its
buttons are almost exactly the same as the SNES gamepad. Also, you can
connect up to four SideWinder pads together, this, in combination with the
keyboard, lets you use all the players in a MultiTap game. A Gravis
eXterminator gamepad would work well, too. (I'm not sure if you can chain
them, though.)
Another way to fix this is to emulate on a Mac. The Mac keyboards don't have
this problem (at least the iMac keyboards don't.)

Magus: Which means...assign L,R and A all to one key on the keyboard,
and press that to activate the door! It's so simple! (Lucky I've got a
good keyboard :-)

There's also a combo input button for ZSNES, in the Misc section I think.
Go into Misc, then Key Comb. and muck around there to figure it out.
Thanks Alan and Mitchell!!!

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. I've noticed that sometimes in battle the screen will flash when I make an
attack, and the damage I do will be much more.  How do I do this; is it
random or am I doing something to make it happen?

A. It's called a critical hit. This is random, although there are some items
which
up your critical hit rating (see the list).
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. Is there a certain level you need to be on to defeat a boss?

A. No, not really, but from the last boss you fought till the next one, you
should
at least gain 3 or 4 levels, if not 6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. Where's the Frenzy Band?

A. Good question. Anyone know? Send in to shinra9@yahoo.com

From Prodius72:

I have some info regarding your FAQ you recently posted about Chrono
Trigger.  It's a great FAQ, and i wanted to contribute, so here it is:  im
pretty sure i know where to find the Frenzy Band.  i have it right now in my
game and i have narrowed it down to a few possible places that i could have
gotten it from, so this could drastically narrow your search:  It could be
in 600 ad in the mountain castle where you get the rainbow shell in a chest,
or it could be in 2300 AD in either Geno Dome or one of those small domes
where you just walk in and open the door w/ the pendant.  It could even be
in a dome w/ people, but its definately not in the sewer access or anything
like that.  Sorry, i cant remember the exact location, but if your still
looking for it this should narrow your search.  Later.

Magus: It's in the Giant's Claw of 600 A.D, in the room to the left of the one
where there are the monsters and switches, you'll know when you see it.

From RPGenius-
This item gives u a 80% chance of counterhit, just like the Rage band except
Rage band is only 50%.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. If you have the Chrono Trigger (CT) instruction booklet, you'll notice that
under The Weapons List there is somthing called the Fleaver. Being one of
the best CT players I know, I have come to think that it is for Crono, IF by
any chance it's real. I've found everything in the game, so I'm really anxious
to find something new, and also to see what color it is (cuz' I only keep the
coolest looking swords/weapons!)

A. I'm pretty sure (from other sources) that the Fleaver was changed at the
last moment to the Slasher. Any know the real story? Or am I right?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Q.How do you get in the basement in 2300A.D. from the Arrisdome?

and

Q.Hello, i would like to say that you have a great sight and your SDIII and CT
guides are without a doubt, the best out there, however, i did not write you
just to kiss your ass, For i have just spent the last half hour playing
Chrono trigger for the Snes9x trying to enter in the damn password for the
console in the underground dome. (the one with the two consoles and the rat).
i know that the code is L+R+A but when i go to the right console, it just
doesn't work. In your guide you say, "it's how you push the buttons" but
beleive me, i have tried every possible way there is and have not gotten any
results. Is it the Snes9x? Am I just a big idiot? Does God hate me? How have
others solved this problem? Any further help you could give me would be great
because im desparate to finish this masterpiece. Thank you for your time and
keep writing those great game guides.

A.Okay. This is the question that EVERYONE asks. HOLD L&R (L, not left, R, not
right), then press A. Do this at the right booth. A door should open up in the
top right hand corner! Enter!

From Alan Berck:
Hi! I'm here just to say that you have very nice FAQ. I would like to

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Q.Hello. I've recently downloaded Chrono Trigger for my ZSNES player and it's
working great, except that after I press the Y button to go to the Character
Swap screen, it freezes when I try to quit the menu. Do you have any tips for
me to get around this? When Ayla joins the team, you are forced to get her on
your team via this screen, so I can't further my game until I can figure out
a way around this problem. Thank you for your time. (This problem encountered
by two people)

A.Okay, first sorry for the late response. These two mails got lost in the
mountains of mail I recieve a day.
Now this seems to be a really common problem! The only thing I can think of
that is wrong is that the site where you got this from has a dodgy ROM. If
you could both tell me the site from which you acquired the ROM, and if they
are the same, that's probably your problem.

From Tabitha Jensen-
You've got to play with sounds on (find the option in your emulator).
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Q.This may seem like a dumb question, but is there any way to save Schala?
I've noticed that if you have Magus, one of the ending variations is of him
searching for her.  I thought maybe because of the subquest where you're
supposed to save someone close to you that your supposed to save her.

A.I'd love to save her, but unfortunately you can't. Sorry!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Q.i was just wondering if you could tell me more clearly how to get
Crono back.  i went to his house, but his clone wasn't here.  thanks

A.This part is detailed at the start, at the Leene Square fair.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Q.Hello I was looking at your faq and when i was told to enter domes
the dome was just blanketed in cloudes and i couldnt see the players.
But I'am using an emulator since i missed the cahnce to buy chrono
trigger iam just wondering if i could take away these clouds so i can
see what to do when iam in a certain dome thanks alot

A. Okay. Here it is again:

Use the 1-5 buttons on the keyboard to change the graphics settings, it's
like that. But when you take the fog off, you can't see the text. Bummer.

From Xerain:
Rather than turning off the offeneding background using ZSNES, it is better to
change the video mode. Go under config and select video. Put it to one of the
16B settings.
Use the 640x480x16B VESA2 setting, and if it runs slow, use the 320x240x16B
VESA2 for similar effects, but lower resolution.
These are general ZSNES tips for all Roms. I am aware you may know them (If you

more
tips I'll be sure to let you know.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. just wondering some thing , i use to always go with Crono Alya and
marle..but is Frog good enough to replace alya? i mean i would have to
start giving him some magic tabs but my frog is at lvl28 while alya
is at lvl 29 and im at the Zeal Place...

A. Sure! Just build up those levels!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Q.Also i dont get it ....useing the stones like the black or gold stone
to pull off a triple tech...but crono isnt in it and i forgot...couldnt
you not get rid of crono outta your party?

A. Well, Crono is unavailable for a while at the end...
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Q.b4 you enter the right door in the way back where you see the Nu
and a guy trying to make "tabs" i forgot how you make the Nu talk to
you or give you some magic tabs.........but what really werid is before
you enter the room to the right there are two book Caes and the 2nd one
above that theres something Sparkling..wondering if i could get it?

A.Hmm...I don't think so. For either question.

From JDemon14:
hey i just wanna say that your FAQ is great.  i was looking at the
questions and 1 of the questions was about a shining object on top of
the double bookcases and you said you doubt it can be reached but it
can.  to get it you have to go in the room with the people making the
tabs and check the wall on the bottom right and you'll get the object.
the object is a tab but i don't remember which 1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Q.where can i get  a doom sickle for magus?

A.In Ozzie's Fort. It's right here-
After that, you'll be in a room with Ozzie and a treasure chest. Ignore
it, and head to the exit. An Imp will try to take it but die. Ozzie
will run. Grab the chest, and before exiting, go to the very right
wall and go down to reach a secret room with Magus' best equipment.
Now go out and face Ozzie, Flea and Slash.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Q.Do you know what Level ** for chrono is or means. I used the game
genie code because i was curious.  Does it mean that he stays the same
level because he never gains levels, hp, or mp.  i heard it means that
he's on level 99 but why doesn't he hav enough hp and mp. i don't get
it. can u help me out?

A.I think it does mean level 99. as for the hp/mp thing, I think it's
because of the codes, that you can't make them higher.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Q.Arg, with the subquest where you revive Crono, the first part,  the
first doll thing that helps you when it turns into a tree.  Ok, well
the problem is I get behind it, but the wind still blows me away.
I've even leaned against the tree.  Is there any reason for this?

A.Push up against the tree. Keep moving up against it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Q.i need help i am in 2300 a.d and the than dome and the arris dome
are all fogged up and i cant findgaurdian

A. Okay. Here it is again (AGAIN AND AGAIN!!! DO PEOPLE READ AT ALL?)

Q.Hello. I just got back Chrono on CT but i have a question... In your
FAQ it said that to have Magus in your party u have to NOt fight him
when youu meet him at that one plac in 12000 BC.  Before reading your
FAQ i didnt know better and i fought him anyway.  Is there a way i can
get Magus on my team besides doing a plus game?

A.Sorry, but I think you're stuffed. I believe there's no way to get him
back.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Q.ok ok ok .. i know chrono trigger is a very old game but i still
think it rocks!!! (Magus: HELL YEAH!)

so anyway ... during "the fated hour" if you talk to the old man at
the end of time he'll tell you of different quests and stuff you can
do to get more exp and shittos like that ... but there's one i did not
find on your walkthrough at GameFAQs ... what is the solution to the
subquest where the old man says "one of you is close to someone in
danger, find this person FAST"

A.That's the Black Omen/Zeal Palace/Queen Zeal quest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Q.sorry to bother you but, I am here in the game

2300 A.D
Enter the door at the top. You will see a dead person, and grab some
seeds off him. Open the chest, head back to catch the rat. Hold B down
to run, and A to catch it. Once you do, it will tell you that the
passcode is L&R&A.

Go back, re-surfacing to use the Enertron if needed, and then enter then
passcode at the console with a sparkling thing on it. A door on the
right will open, enter it.


any way i am using the snes9x emulator and whenever i try to press in
lr then a nothing at all happens! u know why?

Please reply as soon as possible if needed. Thank you and God bless.

and

Q.Sup dude.  This is kinda wierd (actually just sad) but I just recently
downloaded SNES's Chrono Trigger Rom for my pc.  I am in some futuristic
world called Arris Dome and I kinda need your help.  I talked to all the
people there, bought some good stuff from that merchant, went down into
the hole, killed the boss with the 2 little minions, found the dead man
with the seed/secret of the rat, caught the rat and know the password.
Unfortunately, when I go back to the computer console, I can't type in
the password.  I know that the password is Left, Right, A but the game
isn't allowing me to enter it in.  Do you what I am doing wrong?  I
tried it for like 30 minutes, but it just won't let me, and without it
apparently I won't be able to get any further because in your
walkthrough it says I need to find out that the world is going to be
destroyed in 1999 and that when I tell this to Doan, he will give me the
key to the bike.  I would appreciate any help you could offer.  Thank
and I appreciate it.

P.S.:  Attached to this message are the saved games.  The first 2 saved
slots is after I killed the boss, found the dead man with the
seed/secret of the rat, and finally caught the rat.  As you can see (if
you want) I can't input the password that the rat told me.  The third
slot is after I killed the boss, and found the dead man with the
seed/secret of the rat but not catching the rat.  As you can see (again
if you want) at this point Lucca still tells me that there is a password
needed for the console to open the right door.  So basically when I
catch the rat and learn the password I lose the ability to use that
information to enter into the computer console for some reason?:(


A. Finally! I've got your solution!!!

From Alan Berck:

Thanks Alan and Mitchell!!!

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Q.Hello, Magus
I was seaching through Gamefaqs, and i found your document. I've got
a question to ask you aobut chrono trigger: Currently in my game, all
my characters are unable to learn future TECHS, such as Magus can learn
only up to Dark bomb, cuz the next tech requires 60000+ tech points,
which will take forever. So everyone's tech has stopped tracks, which
means i have not seen any of those dual or triple techs. But anywayz,
do you have a clue why its like this?

A.Yes. It's called a challenge. Don't stop building up those tech
points, it is possible!!!

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Q.Hi Magus.  First off, thanx for this awesome walkthrough of Chrono
Trigger, it's seriously helped me.  Right now, I'm on Zeal, and that
MP buster is seriously hurting me.  I don't know how to equip items
like Mega Elixer to save my MP.  How do you eqip items?!?

A.Equip items? No, when it's your turn to make a move, instead of
hitting attack or tech, select Item, and then you'll have a full list
of your items. Select the item you wish to use, and voila.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Q.Hey Magus, what's up?  I have a question about Chrono Trigger.
I can't find the Crono clone!  I'm using your guide to the game.
The only thing I might have screwed up on is that I got the clone after
I lost Crono, not before,in the very begining of the game.  I've
searched all over the game world, but to no avail.  Help me out here!

A.Yup, I reckon you've stuffed it big time, as the clone is only
available at the start.

From Blank Sinatra:
-You can go back and play the house of horrors game, and aquire the
clone after chrono goes to the big Gate in the sky.  Just build up
those silver points and practice your mimicing skills.  After you win
the clone itll be sitting in chrono's bedroom.

From Urs:
-It appears to me that the clones availability depends on which part of
the game you are in. I got it after some serious action, after I defeated
Magus for the first time in 600BC. It is now in my room and ready and
waiting to help me revive Crono (or so I think as he just vanished 5
minutes ago.) At an earlier point of the game I went back to the present
and completed the 2nd house of horrors game without getting the clone, so
I tried again later and-Bingo-there it was.

From MoleHybrid:
-I'd just like to say, you CAN get the Chrono clone after the beginning
of the game. When Belthasar's clone (the Nu) tells you about it,you can
win it afterward.Go into the tent of horrors, and give the guy the silver
points. You just have to pay money if you mess up this time, more if you
mess up earlier.

Q.Hey i Jus was Lookin throuGH my old rpgs and i Picked Up CHroNo
trIggER. i started playin it again and i got to magus at the north
cape(second battle.) Well i have always gotton him before when beating
the game but this time i decided to fight him. well i killed him and i
was wondering when the FroG(glenn) would turn back into a human. i have
looked through all the walkthroughs and none of them say n e thing about
when the frog turns bak to glenn if u fight magus. pLeasE write bak
thank your so much.

A.I think he turns back into a human in the ending.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Q.I have Chrono Trigger on my Computer and I'm using Snemul.  I read
your Faq and thought you might be able to help me.  Whenever I get in
a battle, Magus attacks one of his own team members or he attacks
without me telling him to.  He has that funny star on his head too and
he won't stop until I heal him or he gets attacked.  What is the
problem and how can I solve it?

A.This means he's in Chaos mode. You're probably wearing the Ozzie
Pants, if you're not, then you've been hit with a status change by the
enemy. The item Heal will fix this.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Q.I have a question for your Chrono Trigger FAQ:
Where is Marle's best weapon, The Valkerye?

A.Northern Ruins (A Ghost Called Cyrus quest). It needs to be
upgraded however.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Q.How do you open up the black boxes?

A.You need to charge up the pendant in 12000BC first.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Q.After defeating Son of Sun, I can't seem to get the Stone in the
door!!!

A.There's no door...it's on a platform.

11)Tips
---------------------------------------------------------------------
From Benjamin Han:

There is actually a easier way to beat twin Golem. First you cast boogie.
Then cast twister two times. then use boogie again then repeat step two.
Keep on doing this until you kill it. (twister does over 2,000 points of
damage).
---------------------------------------------------------------------
From Matthew Pace:

I'm sorry but this Benjamin Han person is stupid (Magus:a bit harsh?).
The easiest way to kill the Golem Twins is for Chrono to use Luminaire
and Lucca and Frog to use Frog Flare. This takes a lot of magic but you
can get it back before any more real major battles.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
From Cosmo2-

Sorry to send you another mail, but I thought you might like to tell
players the following about Lucca and Marle.  Lucca's attack magic is
second only to Magus's.  I recently started over complete, New Game-not+.
Lucca, who is now Lv24, has about 35mag, while everyone else only has
from 15 to 20 (except Marle, who has 27).  This makes up for the fact
that her shots are weak until very late in the game, about when you
lose Chrono, and her Wonder Shot can do some kick&%$#@ damage. Mine
once did 4000+ with one hit, but since the damage is random, it
sometimes does a measly 25-50.

Also, even though Marle's HP and physical stats are low in the first 50
or so Lvls, she's still worthhaving along for your high MP and her array
of curative magics.

I have a suggestion for Blackbird.  With Ayla and two others, as you
said, take all the good EQ off your party members, so that all your good
Eq is in your Items list.  The items chest is one of the easiest to find,
and once you do find it, you have the best armor and weapons for all three
people.  The thing is, once you find the actual chests containing the
weaker armor you had earlier, you have to re-equip the good armor.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
From MettleGoblet:

If you manage to kill the lavos spawn shell on death mountain it gives
MEGA experience because it has 20,000 hp and it may also give you a
prism edge
---------------------------------------------------------------------
From Alan Berck:
Hi! I'm here just to say that you have very nice FAQ. I would like to
point out that on some emulators, the keyboard will read the L + R then
A password as the L and R repeting.To make it work, get a joystick,
joypad, any other controller with 2 buttons. then plug it in, and set
L to one button and R to another. then press all 3 in the correct order.

Also, on the black bird, if you don't get any of the stuff back, you'll
find most of it on the Epoch.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
From Mitchell Mebane:
I read your Chrono Trigger FAQ, it is one of the best, and I've got a few
tips for you.

You stated that many people have said that they can't push the L+R+A
sequence, at the Arris Dome in 2300 A.D. Well, the problem isn't your ROM,
it isn't your emulator (this only occurs on emulators,) it's your KEYBOARD.
I had a heck of a time with this, until I read the ZSNES help file
(ZSNES.FAQ). The problem lies in the way the PC keyboard sends its data to
the computer. You can only press a certain number of buttons at a time, or
the keyboard cancels out the others. A couple ways around this are: assign
the L, R, and A buttons to one key, such as Page Up. Then, pressing that key
enters the code. Another way is to assign them to the Ctrl, Alt, and Shift
keys. Since the PC keyboard accepts any combinations of the modifier keys,
this works also. The final way, my personal favorite, is to simply use a
joystick. I've got a Microsoft SideWinder gamepad, and it is SWEEEET! Its
buttons are almost exactly the same as the SNES gamepad. Also, you can
connect up to four SideWinder pads together, this, in combination with the
keyboard, lets you use all the players in a MultiTap game. A Gravis
eXterminator gamepad would work well, too. (I'm not sure if you can chain
them, though.)
Another way to fix this is to emulate on a Mac. The Mac keyboards don't have
this problem (at least the iMac keyboards don't.)

My other tip is a way to get TONS of money. When you're leveling up on the
Hunting Range in 65,000,000 B.C., wait until you've got 99 Petals, Fangs,
Horns, and Feathers. Now, go trade them for stuff (it doesn't really matter
what.) In the hut with the trade guy, it's the top right one, you can buy
stuff from a guy (with regular money, not the trade stuff.) Sell the stuff
you traded for to this guy. Since the trade stuff is practically useless
later on, except to get the Ruby Armor, this is a GREAT way to get rich.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
From JDemon14:

hey i just wanna say that your FAQ is great.  i was looking at the
questions and 1 of the questions was about a shining object on top of
the double bookcases and you said you doubt it can be reached but it
can.  to get it you have to go in the room with the people making the
tabs and check the wall on the bottom right and you'll get the object.
the object is a tab but i don't remember which 1.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
From Lone Jester:
-I have something else I have to add to your strategy
guide on Chrono Trigger.  In your FAQ, there was a
question about the Nu and the sparkling tabs in Zeal.
There is a way to reach that sparkling tab.  From
where you see the tab,, simply walk in the room and
search the wall, and be happy when you find a brand
new magic tab.  As for the Nu that is in the same
room, just go to Zeal Palace and talk to the Nu on the
walkway in the middle of the room.  He will ask you to
scratch his back.  When you are done, that music that
plays when you find a tab will sound and the screen
will say "Found the Nu's scratch point" or something
like that.  Now head back to the Nu in the library and
talk to him.  You will scratch his back and he will
eventually turn up a magic tab. See you around.

-You ever notice in Chrono Trigger that when
Lucca gets the Wondershot, her damage she deals to
enemies varies a lot (sometimes over 3,000 and other
times under 100)?  Well, instead of giving Chrono the
Prism Specs, give them to Lucca and the Wondershot
will live up to it's name by dealing over 5,000 damage
to enemies, all depending on what her level is and how
many tabs she has been getting (for me, I was at level
86 and the power stat was maxed out.)

---------------------------------------------------------------------
From KC135E-

Hi, I'd just like to say nice FAQ.  However regarding your steal list,
if  you Twin Charm Yakra XIII you get the Wolf Lobe Blade.
Unfortuneatly its not in your inventory when you go to equip it, but
its cool to see it just show up on the status bar.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
From Lord999:

Contrary to popular belief, there are TWO ways to get programmer's
ending.

-1.  The way you described, by beating up Lavos right at Mellinial
Fair.

2.  There is one other way, and it's for the suicidal.  The first time
you face Zeal in the Underground Palace, she summons Lavos.  (It's the
part where Chrono gets killed).  This fight is near impossible without
the best armor, but you can beat Lavos in this  form.  I believe he
has 65,665 hit points. This is near impossible, but I've been able
to do it.  I'll send you a Zsnes snapshot if you want to prove my point.
Oh, and I do own the real game, both PSX and SNES.  The same trick
works on PSX.

-1.  That sparkly thing I think is a power tab.  This is damn trick
that the game plays on you but here it is.  Go into the room above the
shiny thing. Talk to the Guru and he'll say that those Nu's have hidden
some stuff around.  Now, go to the middle part of the right corner of
room (directly above where you think the shiny thing is) and press A.
You'll get a Tab.  If you don't fumble around, it's there.

2.  Frenzy band.  You find it in the Forest Maze in 65 BC.  You can
steal off those jerks in Black Omen too.  It's worthless.  All it does
is make you beserk forever.  Get the Third Eye instead.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
From Owen Yates:
I have had extensive experience playing Chrono Trigger, considering I
bought it just after it came out.
(That's a big achievement down here in Australia (Magus:YES! Aussies
rule the world! Well, I'm Chinese, but I live in Australia...that's
good enough! Whoo!), I had to pay $130(@ $104 US) for it, and I have
never regretted it. Anyway, as I consider myself to be somewhat of an
expert on the game, I thought that I would offer some alternative boss
strategies.

Dragon Tank: I usually attack it with Crono's Cyclone attack, and get
Lucca to shoot it in the head

Black Tyrano: I usually use Crono, Ayla & Robo in this battle. I keep
attacking Azala, and get Crono to cast Lightning 2. When the Black
Tyrano gets to the countdown thingy. I usually use Crono & Ayla's
double tech Volt Bite which does around a 1000 damage. As well as Robo's
Robo Tackle which does around
500.

Golem Twins: I usually use Crono, Ayla & Robo for this fight (my
favourite team :) ). I get Ayla & Robo to cast the Double Tech boogie,
which freezes both of the Golems (not always first time). Then I use
Ayla & Crono's Falcon Hit attack, to hit both of them for around 1500
damage.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
From Patrick:
I notice that you state that the Rubble's in the Mt of Woe can only be
fought once.  Not so!  If you fight a Rubble and head to a save point on
that  SAME level then you will be able to fight the rubble over and over
if you reset after you save.  Apparently the game brings back all
monsters as long as you do not change levels.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
From Wvyern437:

**************************BOSS LIST**********************************

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Yakra
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Crono, Frog, Lucca
Have Crono/Frog use X-strike and Lucca use Flame Toss.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Dragon Tank
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Crono, Lucca
Use regular attacks on the head until it dies, then use Cyclone or
Fire Whirl.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Robot Dude
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Crono, Lucca, Marle
Kill the bits with normal attacks, then concentrate on the body.
Fire/Lightning do 0 damage. Hitting the body while the bits are still
alive results in a delta counter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Robo's Pals
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Crono, Lucca/Marle (Lucca works better)
Use Fire Whirl on the center of each line. Two per line should wrap
it up.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Heckran
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Crono, Lucca, Marle
Use Lightning and Antipode. When he says, "Go ahead and attack," wait
for a counterattack break or you'll get a waterwave down your throat.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Zombor
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Crono, Lucca, Marle (the robot sucks!)
Use Lightning on the bottom (?) and physical attacks on the top. Heal
up, this guy's a pain.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Masa and Mune
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Crono, Lucca, Robo (sigh)
Use Hypno Wave to put them out, then concentrate on one. They can't
operate apart.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
MasaMune
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Crono, Lucca, Robo
Use Dual Techs like Fire Punch and Fire Sword (if you've got it) and
Slash when he stores his Tornado energy.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Nizbel
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Crono, Ayla, Whoever
Stun him w/Lightning and kill him, it's not rocket science.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Slash
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Crono, Frog, Robo
Triple Raid and you'll be rewarded with his nifty sword.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Flea
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Crono, Frog, Robo
Be careful! This chick/dude uses status-effecting magic. Store up on
the Heals and Triple Raid or X-strike whenever possible. She doesn't
have much HP.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Magus
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Crono, Frog, Marle
This is by far the hardest boss yet. Hit him repeatedly with the
Masamune, and wait for his barrier to switch to Water. Then, use Ice
Water, Ice Sword, and Swordstream to bring his HP down. When he starts
casting a spell, hit him with physical attacks until he casts Dark
Matter, then heal up and do it again. He'll die eventually, i promise.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Nizbel 2
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Crono, Ayla, Frog
Use physical/lightning techs like Spire and Volt Bite. Charm for a
3rd Eye.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Azala&Black Tyrano
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Crono, Ayla, Frog
Arm Fire armor, if available. Use magic on Azala till she dies, then
wait for the Black Tyrano to lower its defense. Attack it with your
most powerful techs, and brace yourself for the flame attack it uses
when the counter hits 0. It also bites you to steal HP.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Golem
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Whoever
Good luck, you'll need it. You don't have to kill it, but it really
helps in the EXP. department. It copies attacks, physical being the
worst, so don't hit it. Change up elemental magic attacks as quickly
as possible, because you have a short gap between when it copies and
when it attacks.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Sir Krawlie
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Your best.
Hit him hard, he's really easy. Watch out for his attack, though. It
lowers you to 1HP.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Dalton
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Crono, Frog, Ayla
He's easy, just smack him with powerful techs. He counterattacks
with Iron Orb.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
GolemTwins
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Crono, Frog, your most magic-resistant character.
Arm Crono and Frog with White Mail/Vest and open up with Lightning2,
then concentrate on each Golem with Spire to chew away the HP. The
third person, unless it's Ayla, should simply sit there and heal
themselves so they can gain EXP. If it's Ayla, you can use Volt Bite.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Lavos
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Doesn't matter.
You're gonna die.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
GolemBoss
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Whoever's on the Blackbird.
Hit him as hard and as fast as you can, because he never attacks and
eventually gets away. He's worth a nice chunk of EXP.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Dalton Plus
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The Blackbird folks.
He uses opposite magic attacks on you, and a Slash-like attack, along
with Iron Orb. Not too tough.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Magus
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Frog alone, or three others.
This is an optional battle, and I suggest you don't fight it if it's
your first time through the game. Magus will join you if you spare him,
and his Dark Matter attack is oh so sweet. But if you do choose to
battle him, use Frog, and forget the Masamune. Use a Bravesword if
you've got one. Wear magic-absorbing armor (doesn't matter what, he
uses everything equally it seems) and equip the Frenzy Band. It works
beautifully.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Lavos Spawn
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Magus, Ayla, Marle
Charm it's head for an Elixir and use Cat Attack and regular attacks
on the head. Hitting the shell will result in a nasty needlespin
counterattack.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Retinite
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Magus, Frog, Crono
Kill the core with Confuse and use Ice/Water to destroy the leg/body
defense. Then use Confuse and alternate from Magus to Frog weakening
its defense. Cast spells between every Confuse and it'll drop like a
fly.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
AtroposXR
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Robo
I hate Robo and I never use him, and I pay for it now because he
knows Heal Beam. Here's how you beat Atropos with this crappy robot.
Arm the Black Mail to absorb her Laser Spin attacks, your best Hand
and Safe Helm if you've got it, and a Frenzy Band. Works perfectly;
you might have to heal up with the beam thingy if you don't have the
Safe Helm. You're rewarded with her ribbon, which ups his Speed by 3
and Mg. Defense+10.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Mother Brain and Display
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Robo, Magus, Ayla
Charm the Mother Brain for Blue Mail and use a 2nd level element
spell to knock out the Displays, then kill the Mother Brain with
your best techs. You'll get the Terra Arm (Robo's best weapon) and
the Crisis Arm (which sucks but is said to do 9999 damage on a
critical hit; never seen it myself).
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Son of Sun
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Magus, Crono, Frog
Arm Red Mail/Vest/Armor, you'll need it. Use Black Hole to off some
of the flames. It's a guessing game, pick the right flame with a
normal attack and it'll hurt him. Pick the wrong one and he'll
counterattack. Hit him and he'll counterattack with Flare, the most
powerful Fire type spell in the game. So don't do that.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Rust Tyrano
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Magus, Crono, Ayla
Just like the Black Tyrano, without Azala. Don't wait for it to drop
its defense, it's already down. Hit it with Triple Kick, Luminaire
and Dark Matter (basically, go for the throat). Charm for Red Mail.
Heh, coulda used that BEFORE you fought him, right?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Yakra the Somethingth
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Marle, Ayla, Lucca
Charm it for something good, I forget. Twin Charm it for some dummied
item (rumor?). Well, use Antipode2/3, whichever you've got, and use
Cube Toss (best Ice attack in my opinion).

i forgot where i left off, so let me just finish up...i noticed a
glitch in the tips section on some CT websites; when they say,
"Destroy the left bit first", the player automatically assumes their
left, but sometimes they mean the left of the enemy. It's never too
clear, so for future reference, I always mean the character's left or
right.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Lavos
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Crono, Magus, Ayla or Marle
This is the easiest boss yet. Lavos will copy previous bosses up to
the Black Tyrano; that means HP, defenses and attacks. Easy. Even
easier if you fly the Epoch to 1900 AD, but i'm sure that's no mystery
to anyone.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Lavos Again
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Crono, Magus, Ayla or Marle
 Be sure to have your status-protecting gear on, and don't bother
equipping the Charm Top on Ayla, if you've got her. She can't charm
Lavos. Instead, give her PrismSpecs or the Greendream or something.
He's a bit annoying, but not too tough, even for first time players.
He'll open up with mass destruction, so heal up with Ayla (Marle
works better). Return fire with Luminaire and Dark Matter, and Triple
Kick at every opportunity. When the arms die, wait for Lavos to cast
Obstacle (lowers his defense) and lay in on him with your muscle techs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Lavos Core
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Whoever you beat Lavo Again with Lavos Core can be quite difficult.
Whatever happens, do NOT cast a mass destruction spell when you first
get in the battle. He'll counterattack with something nasty like
Crying Heavens, which does somewhere around 1000 damage. Instead,
Triple Kick the left (that's your left) bit. It should die. Wait for
the right bit to lower Lavos' defense, then attack with your Luminaire
and Dark Matter. The core is only the muscle of the team, the right
bit is the brains. Kill the right bit and your worries are over.
It'll revive the others after a time, so be quick about it.

Another possible strategy, if you've killed off Magus...
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Lavos Again
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Crono, Ayla, Marle
I picked this combo because of their triple tech, Final Kick. It's
quite a damage dealer. Marle comes in great handy with her curative
magic and Life2 (you should have it) is just what the doctor ordered.
Use Triple Kick and Luminaire until you've done in the arms and he
uses Obstacle, then use Final Kick (It's a good idea to have Ayla or
Crono equip the Gold Stud...I hate stopping to refill MP). Keep
Marle's turns open as much as possible as well...don't do anything
stupid like shoot Lavos with her crossbow. Her spells don't really
cut it in the damage department, so leave her open to play nurse.
That way you can go fight the Core with full strength.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Lavos Core
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Crono, Marle, Ayla
Not much different...use Triple Kick on the left bit and Luminaire
when it drops its defense. If something should happen to Ayla, a
single crossbow shto and Confuse should do the job, if you have the
Valkerye equipped. When it gets down to the right bit, use Final
Kicks whenever possible.

From RedScarlet-

Hi there.  I was looking at my faqs on Chrono Trigger and saw you updated
yours as well.  I read through those tips, and didn't see a little strategy
I use, so I guess I'll tell ya if you want to add it.
   One really easy way to get past those 2 annoying Golemtwins is to have
Lucca in your party.  Use her, Crono, and Frog (preferably), and make sure
to equip any fire protection armor you have.  Going through the game the
first time, you should have 1 Red Plate (absorbs 100% of fire damage)and 1
Red Vest (absorbs 50% of fire damage), if you did the 'Black Box upgrading'
trick.  Equip those if you have them, and then equip the remaining character
with either a Ruby Vest or Ruby Armor (traded in Ioka for
Petals/Fangs/Horns/Feathers).
    Now, your characters have extremely high protection against Fire, so
have Lucca do her best Fire attacks over and over, Fire 2 or Flare, if you
have it, work well.  If you don't have Flare, have Lucca and Frog do their
Double Tech 'Line Bomb', which will hit both Golemtwins at the same time.
The Golemtwins will always mimic the last elemental attack done to them,
which would be fire, and you should have either 50%,80%,150%, or 200%
protection against it, which should make them die without having to heal
even once.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
From Khinath

First off, let me congratulate you on your mad writing skillz used when
writing your Chrono Trigger FAQ for www.gamefaqs.com. It was a pleasure
to read something that wasn't dry or un-humorous like some of the FAQ's
I've seen. I would like to point out something of a flaw (or mix-up, or
bad taste in accessories, or something...) made by dear ol' Lord999 in
the following passage...


2. Frenzy band. You find it in the Forest Maze in 65 BC. You can
steal off those jerks in Black Omen too. It's worthless. All it does
is make you beserk forever. Get the Third Eye instead.

Methinks either:

1) He got Frenzy Band confused with Berserker, or...
2) He doesn't realize the TRUE power of the Frenzy Band.

What the Frenzy Band does is, like in the item description, gives one
character an 80% chance of counter-attacking an enemy hit. While
Berserker makes one attack the moment their combat guage is filled,
Frenzy Band is a much better alternative. You know how some
bosses/enemies use counter-attacks when you attack them, right? Wish I
could think of a better example, but the best I could think of is the
Lavos Spawn. If you hit the Spawn's shell, it does a nast needle attack
thing that hurts like HELL...but it can then attack again almost
immediately. It seems unfair that he gets a free hit like that, and can
attack immediately afterwards. That's exactly what the Frenzy Band
does. Let's say you sacrifice wearing the Prism Specs on Chrono to
equip the Frenzy Band, then head to the Black Omen to take on some of
those blasted flying things I hate (I can't remember if they're Goons or
Flyclops, but they look like giant dogs with wings that appear rather
early in the level). Anyhoo...let's say one of the things decides to
whack at Crono when Crono's battle guage is say...half full. Crono
automatically hits the thing right back (Think about it: Rainbow
sword=70% chance for critical hit) doing a good piece of damage
(especially if he gets a critical hit)...PLUS his attack guage is still
half full, meaning he can attack again in a matter of a couple of
seconds. As an added bonus, any time you counter-attack an enemy
attack, you are not susceptible to being counter-attacked yourself by an
enemy counter-attack. *Reads last sentence* Alright...this calls for an
example...(and now that I think about it...probably the best way to kill
the shell of the Lavos Spawn). Please keep in mind the following scene
is PURELY HYPOTHETICAL. I haven't tested it, but if it works, it'd be
kick-ass. If someone wants to test it, then by all means go for it!

Lets go back to the Lavos Spawn. You equip everyone with Frenzy Bands.
If you have enough HP and a high enough defense rating, have some brave
soul whack that shell! When it does its multiple person counter attack,
everyone gets a free counter-whack at the shell...without being
counter-attacked! Now, you've just hit the Spawn four times, using one
character's turn! Have someone in your party heal everyone, and then
have the third person in your party attack, so he counter-attacks, then
you counter-attack his counter-attack...I think...and so on. The only
reason I could see this not working is if the Frenzy Band doesn't react
to counter-attacks the enemy performs on you, and only reacts to normal
attacks.

I hope you are able to get the word out about the difference between the
Frenzy Band and Berserker, as the Frenzy Band is VERY useful to beating
down most of the smaller monsters that usually take 2-3 hits to kill, as
well.

P.S. I'm too lazy to proofread

---------------------------------------------------------------------
From Flamen:

I also have a good way to beat Giga Gaia. If you have a low level
(like 20 -25) Have Marle, Crono, and Ayla. Have marle be the Healer
and crono and Ayla keep doing Falcon Hit. Use Falcon Hit on the arms
first then when they die use it on the head.
It does a HELL of alot of Damage (1000-2000!!!) It'll take him out
in like 5-10 rounds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
From l2anmachan:

About the L+R+A thing, All of them are wrong. The only reason L+R+A
isnt working, is because you are using an emulat0r that runs in
Windows. Windows doesnt read more then three keys pressed down at a
time. DOS, however, can read as many keys as you want to press. A DOS
emulat0r will let you do L+R+A with no problem.

From ryan:

-hi, i downloaded chronotrigger for my zsnes, and i wanted a walkthrough,
and i came across yours.  i noticed that throughout your walkthrough
people would submit tricks that they had, so i wanted to submit one that
i found.  in 65,000,000 bc, when you fight the nu, i noticed that you
get a lot of feathers, horns, etc.  eventually, i found myself with 99
of each, and i noticed that the aeon blade sold for 6000 some g, and the
magma hand sold for 5000 some g, so i cashed in all of my extra items
that i had gotten from the nu, and turned them into aeon blades, and
magma hands, and when i sold them, i had about 300,000g!!  with that
money, i then went and bought 99 full tonics, and  99 revives, and still
had a ton of money left.  i also did this when i first went to
65,000,000 bc, and i bought a demon edge. my prior strongest weapon gave
me about 55 or 65 attack power, and the demon edge raised it to about
95, so i was very powerful. i just thought that this trick, being very
useful, was worth mentioning.  i also wanted to mention that your
walkthrough is one of the best ones i have seen.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
From Loren Jones:

-First I wanted to congratulate you on writing a REALLY good FAQ to (IMHO)
the single best RPG (and probably comsole game) of all time. I was hoping I
could help address some of these questions for you. Just a bit of
background, I have the actual cart (not a rom) that I have played through
(New Game +) at least 7 times. All of my characters are at ** level (Except
for Magus who's at Lvl. 91). I'll put the original question with my two
bits. =)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Q.Do you know what Level ** for chrono is or means. I used the game
genie code because i was curious.  Does it mean that he stays the same
level because he never gains levels, hp, or mp.  i heard it means that
he's on level 99 but why doesn't he hav enough hp and mp. i don't get
it. can u help me out?

A.Lvl. ** is the same as level 99. When your character hits that point they
WILL (barring any cheat codes) have 999 HP & 99 MP. As well as a few other
maxed stats.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Q.Arg, with the subquest where you revive Crono, the first part,  the
first doll thing that helps you when it turns into a tree.  Ok, well
the problem is I get behind it, but the wind still blows me away.
I've even leaned against the tree.  Is there any reason for this?

A.When you walk against the wind on Death Peak you stay in place. When you
run you move. Once you've found a nice safe place behind one of the trees
stop running and you'll stay in place instead of slipping around the trunk.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Q.Hey i Jus was Lookin throuGH my old rpgs and i Picked Up CHroNo
trIggER. i started playin it again and i got to magus at the north
cape(second battle.) Well i have always gotton him before when beating
the game but this time i decided to fight him. well i killed him and i
was wondering when the FroG(glenn) would turn back into a human. i have
looked through all the walkthroughs and none of them say n e thing about
when the frog turns bak to glenn if u fight magus. pLeasE write bak
thank your so much.

A.The only time you get to see Glenn as a human again is if you finish the
game immediately after defeating Magus. Otherwise he remains a frog. (I
still haven't figured out how that works.) That's the ONLY time you'll see
him as a human. A really kick ass guy too. Too bad you can't fight as him.

If you want feel free to post my e-mail address for questions and write me
if you have any yourself. I've spent far more then my fair share of time on
that game. =) Later.
