Note, that if you've asked me for permission but don't see your site on the
list above, don't worry about it, as it's a real pain to update each time
everyone asks me to use this guide on their site. So as long as you've
asked me, yes, you can put it up on your site. The sites above are the
ones that don't have to ask to use them.
Chrono Trigger is copyright Squaresoft 1995. Please do not leech any
of this to make your own FAQ out of it. Unless you have MY permission DO
NOT take anything at all from this guide. Don't edit, don't do anything to
it and submit it without e-mailing me with permission first. You can
print it out, but only for personal use, no selling this! Summing it
up, do anything for your own personal benefit (apart from reading it)
without asking me, AND YOU'LL BURN IN HELL!!!!!
---====================---
To get in touch, e-mail me at dc3131@yahoo.com.au
My ICQ# is 34601221
My webpage is http://www.dcmagus.com
My MSN contact is dcmagus@hotmail.com, but any email sent to that
address will most likely be ignored, as I don't check that
account
My AIM name is dcmagus
Be warned that I'm only on the net twice a week, don't expect replies
from me which are ten minutes after you've sent the mail. Here's some
guidelines about sending me mail:
1.Make sure you put the title of the game you're asking about in the
subject. I've made a fair few FAQs, and it's a bit hard to work
things out sometimes.
2.If it's an FAQ, make sure that it's not already in the guide!!! If
it is, I'll do my best to ignore it.
If it's not in there, make sure that the details you provide
are, well, DETAILED, and not sketchy. Examples are "Hi need to know
how to get past this part, i'm in a room and stuck", I need to know
where you are, etc.
3.Ask nicely. So far, most people have, but if your mail goes along
the lines of "Hi, need code for B2, reply within the next hour
otherwise I'll bomb you" will not get you anywhere.
That's it. Sorry for being a pain, but it had to be said.

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.
DC: Thanks!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Party Ratings
---------------------------------------------------------------------
There are 37 possible parties you can make. I'll give you the pros
and cons of each one. Instead of wasting KB, I'll put the character
descriptions here.
Ayla is very strong and fast, can steal things off enemies but her
magic is limited to damage spells, while she does have a heal spell,
but it's not too effective. Triple Kick and Dino Tail are very
useful though.
Crono is a very good attacking character, with not only his sword but
also with his magic (Lightning). There will be more than a few
situations in which you will find his various offensive spells
useful. However, that's about it, the only other spell that doesn't
deal damage is Life, but that's quite useful. If he could heal, it
would be great.
Frog is a very versatile character. He has a great selection of
Water magic, a nice attack power and he can heal when he needs to.
While the effect of Heal cancels out his Frog Squash, both are
useful when used separately. A great all rounder.
Lucca is a good offensive magic user (Fire). Most of her spells
deal damage and it's the later ones that make the difference in
battles (Flare is devastating). But her physical attack strength
isn't that good, and her non offensive magic isn't too useful.
Marle is a versatile magic user. She has healing spells, some
various effect spells, and a couple of offensive spells (Ice). You'll
be wanting her in your party for her plethora of healing spells, as
she won't do much good in the attacking department.
Magus is probably the best offensive magic user (Shadow). Not only
does he have a large selection of Shadow spells to choose from,
he also has the Fire/Ice/Lightning 2 spells, which are invaluable.
He is also a decent physical attacker.
Robo is like Frog, he's versatile all around. Not only can he cure,
he has spells that can deal a lot of damage, and he is also a great
physical attacker. When you've got spells like Uzzi Punch, Shock and
Heal Beam all on the same character, you can't lose.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Ayla, Crono, Frog
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Very good physical attack power. Frog and Ayla can heal to some
extent, so if you're low on HP, you can turn to something other than
items. All three have some power magic spells that they can use.
But I suppose they could do with a better healer. Their triple tech
is great as it deals Shadow damage.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Ayla, Crono, Lucca
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Good magical strength. Ayla can heal to some extent, but I wouldn't
rely on Ayla for healing... Ayla and Crono have good physical power,
but Lucca really isn't the sort of person you'd use for attacking.
All three have their big magic spells that can really hurt. The
triple tech that these guys have is very handy.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Ayla, Crono, Marle
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This party is pretty good as they are strong magic wise. Crono has
good offensive magic spells and is a great attacker, Ayla is a great
attacker and has some damaging magic spells, and Marle is the best
healer in the game. Ayla and Marle can also use their Twin Charm
to good use, and the Final Kick Triple tech is pretty handy as well.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Ayla, Crono, Magus
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This party is not only strong physically, but magically as well.
Crono and Magus will take care of all of your magic and attacking
needs, and Ayla is great with her fists as well. Just don't think
that you can really heal yourself to a point of safety by using
Ayla's weak healing spell.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Ayla, Crono, Robo
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Quite a useful team. These guys can all attack and use their magic
well. And with Robo in, you can heal with Ayla and Robo to a certain
extent as well. Their triple tech is kind of useful, but it's not
the best triple tech there is.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Ayla, Frog, Lucca
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This party's strength is in Frog's and Lucca's magic, and Frog's and
Ayla's attack power. Otherwise, they're weak at healing, and while
the magic is good, the physical attack power isn't that strong.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Ayla, Frog, Marle
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Quite a useful party. Ayla and Frog can dish out damage physically,
while Marle can heal and damage the enemy magically. Ayla and Marle
can also use Twin Charm when needed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Ayla, Frog, Magus
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Quite a strong team offensively, as Ayla, Frog and Magus can attack
well, and Frog and Magus (especially Magus) have powerful magic
spells they can use. One downer though is that Ayla can't heal very
well, and you really need Frog to be doing something other than
healing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Ayla, Frog, Robo
---------------------------------------------------------------------
A very nice team. They all pack a punch physically, and Robo's
healing spells are better than Ayla's. However, you'll mainly be
wanting Robo to get up there and smack the enemy's lights out, along
with Frog and Ayla, either magically or physically. This team can
do both.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Ayla, Lucca, Marle
---------------------------------------------------------------------
It's the all female team! (Cue Charlie's Angel's music). Here, the
attack power may be a little weak overall, but magically, Lucca and
Marle can really do some damage. Marle is also a great healer, so
that's one problem fixed. Use Ayla to attack, Lucca to cast her
Fire spells and then have Marle heal or use Ice spells.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Ayla, Lucca, Magus
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This team is alright. Magus is a great offensive character magically
and physically, Lucca is great magically, and Ayla is great
physically. However, Ayla can't hea; very well so you'll need to
stock up on healing items.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Ayla, Lucca, Robo
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Here, Ayla can dish out damage physically, Lucca can cast those hot
spells, and Robo can a)dish out damage with his fists, b)cast big
spells, and c)heal when needed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Ayla, Marle, Magus
---------------------------------------------------------------------
A pretty good pairing. Ayla is great with her fists, Marle can heal,
and Magus absolutely canes in the magic department. The only thing
missing here is a good overall attack power.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Ayla, Marle, Robo
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Quite evenly balanced team here. Ayla is a good attacker, Marle can
heal and do some magic damage, and Robo can heal/attack/do magic
damage. A well balanced team.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Ayla, Magus, Robo
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This team is okay. They can all deal good damage physically, and
Magus and Robo work well in the magic department. Robo can heal as
well, but you really need him to be attacking, and Ayla's healing
magic isn't that good.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Crono, Frog, Lucca
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Here, Crono and Frog are great attackers, and Lucca is good with her
magic, and Frog can heal to some extent, but you really want him to
be dealing damage instead of healing. However, Delta Storm is a
very handy triple tech.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Crono, Frog, Marle
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a quality team. Crono and Frog can really pack a punch, both
physically and by using magic, while Marle can heal and deal some
magical Ice damage every now and then. Arc Impulse is also a great
Triple Tech.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Crono, Frog, Magus
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This is also quite a good team, it just lacks a quality healer. Frog
can heal, but he shouldn't be healing when he can whoop some ass.
These three are all strong magically and physically, and you should
be able to whoop some ass with this group.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Crono, Frog, Robo
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a very handy team to have. They are all strong physically
and can all whoop some ass magically. Robo and Frog can heal as well,
so it's more versatile than having to wait for one character's turn
all the time. And Triple Raid is very effective.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Crono, Lucca, Marle
---------------------------------------------------------------------
What this party lacks is a good physical attack base, as you've only
got Crono to do that for you. However, Crono, Lucca and Marle all
have some nice elemental magic, and Marle can heal. Plus you've got
the very nice Delta Force tech.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Crono, Lucca, Magus
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The party would be good if Lucca was a good healer. This party is
very strong in terms of magic, decent in terms of physical attacks,
but in terms of healing, suck because there are no healers here.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Crono, Lucca, Robo
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This team can really give out a whipping by using their powerful
plethora of magic spells, and Crono and Robo are good attackers as
well. Robo is your healer here, but you really need him out there
kicking some butt instead of healing, so maybe use Lucca and some
items. Fire Zone is a decent Triple tech.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Crono, Marle, Magus
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This team is pretty good. Both Crono and Magus can really kick some
arse magically and physically, and Marle is there to heal and join in
the magic fest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Crono, Marle, Robo
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a pretty handy team to have. Crono and Robo are good
attackers and magic users, while Marle and Robo can heal, so if one's
not free, you've always got someone else to rely on. The triple tech
Lifeline can really save your butt in most situations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Crono, Magus, Robo
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This team is all power. They can all deal some great damage
physically and magically, and Robo can heal. It's hard to see you
failing with this team...but sometimes Robo can get tied up healing
instead of dealing damage.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Frog, Lucca, Marle
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This team is OK. They lack in physical attack power but they make it
up for their strength in magic. Marle is a great healer and can deal
some damage with her magic, Frog can attack and use his magic well,
plus heal if needed, and Lucca is great with Fire magic. Many of
this group's dual techs really kick butt.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Frog, Lucca, Magus
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This party is very good in the magic department, Frog and Lucca have
great Water and Fire magic, and Magus is a magic powerhouse. However,
your only healer here is Frog, and when he's healing you might be
needing him to attack or use magic, so that's a drawback.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Frog, Lucca, Robo
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Once again, this party is strong in the magic department, as all
three are capable of casting big damage spells. Frog and Robo can
also deal good damage with their weapons, and both of them can heal,
so you've always got one person to back the other up.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Frog, Marle, Magus
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a very destructive team. While Marle sits back and heals
(occasionally use her Ice spells), Frog and Magus can cut sick either
physically or magically.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Frog, Marle, Robo
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Kinda the same as the Frog-Lucca-Robo party, except that now you've
got three healers. You should mainly use Marle to heal, and just
attack with Frog and Robo, dipping into your magic inventory every
now and then.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Frog, Magus, Robo
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a power team. These three all all pretty good in physical
attacks and magic, and both Frog and Robo can heal, so you don't
have to keep relying on one person.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Lucca, Marle, Magus
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a decent team. Here, you have Lucca to use her powerful Fire
magic, Marle to heal and use her Ice magic, and Magus to attack and
use his Shadow and elemental magic. The thing that lets this team
down is that their physical attack rating isn't too good.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Lucca, Marle, Robo
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This team is kinda like the one above, except this time, Robo has a
better physical attack power but less variety in magic.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Lucca, Magus, Robo
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a very strong team. Magically, you have three very capable
characters that can hurt the enemy real bad. Physically, Magus and
Robo should be able to handle the situation. Robo can heal to some
extent as well.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Marle, Magus, Robo
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This is like the team above except that now it's got a main healer,
so you don't have to worry about breaking Robo's attack pattern.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
Wvyern's Tactic:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Yakra
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Crono, Frog, Lucca
Have Crono/Frog use X-strike and Lucca use Flame Toss.
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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
1000 A.D
---------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
Wvyern's Tactic:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Dragon Tank
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Crono, Lucca
Use regular attacks on the head until it dies, then use Cyclone or
Fire Whirl.
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...
---------------------------------------------------------------------
2300 A.D
---------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
Wvyern's Tactic:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
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.)
DC: 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.
Wvyern's Tactic:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
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 Grounds. 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.
Wvyern's Tactic:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
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.
Wvyern's Tactic:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
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....
Wvyern's Tactic:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Masa and Mune
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Crono, Lucca, Robo (sigh)
Use Hypno Wave to put them out, then concentrate on one. They can't
operate apart.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
Wvyern's Tactic:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
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.
Wvyern's Tactic:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Nizbel
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Crono, Ayla, Whoever
Stun him w/Lightning and kill him, it's not rocket science.
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 Grounds 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.
Wvyern's Tactic:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Slash
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Crono, Frog, Robo
Triple Raid and you'll be rewarded with his nifty sword.
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.
Wvyern's Tactic:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
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.
Wvyern's Tactic:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
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.
Wvyern's Tactic:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Nizbel 2
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Crono, Ayla, Frog
Use physical/lightning techs like Spire and Volt Bite. Charm for a
3rd Eye.
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.
Wvyern's Tactic:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
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.
Wvyern's Tactic:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
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.
Wvyern's Tactic:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Dalton
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Crono, Frog, Ayla
He's easy, just smack him with powerful techs. He counterattacks
with Iron Orb.
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.
Wvyern's Tactic:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
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.
Wvyern's Tactic:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Lavos
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Doesn't matter.
You're gonna die.
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.
Wvyern's Tactic:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
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.
Wvyern's Tactic:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Dalton Plus
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The Blackbird folks.
He uses opposite magic attacks on you, and a Slash-like attack, along
with Iron Orb. Not too tough.
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.
Wvyern's Tactic:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
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.
Wvyern's Tactic:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
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.

Aeon Helm, Muscle Ring, Memory Cap, Full

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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
