Chief's Hut - 65000000 BC
Party: Crono and whoever
You will awaken to find yourself in Ayla's tent. Ayla will leave and
you'll go back to sleep. When you awake you'll find out that Ayla
went in search of Laruba Village. First things first, go to the hut
in the upper right corner and you'll find out that you can trade
your Petal, Fangs, Horns, and Feathers for new items.
Petal + Fang = Dream Gun
Petal + Horn = Dream Bow
Petal + Feather = Magma Hand
Fang + Horn = Aeon Blade
Fang + Feather = Ruby Vest
Horn + Feather = Rock Helm
Once you're ready, go northwest from Ioka village to Laruba ruins.
Laruba ruins - 65000000 BC
Party: Crono and whoever
Here you'll find out what happened and you'll learn Ayla wants to use
the Dactyls to get to the Reptite's hideout. Ayla will leave again.
Go to the Dactyl Nest which is directly north of Ioka village.
Dactyl Nest - 65000000 BC
Items: Mid Ether, Mid Tonic, Meso Mail
Party: Crono and whoever
The way up to the top of the mountain is pretty straight forward.
When you reach the top, Ayla will join you (meaning you'll have to
decide who to leave behind). Once you've decided on your party
you'll fly out of the Dactyl Nest on Dactyls (what else? :). You
have complete control over their flight. Your next destination is
the Tyrano Lair, which is almost directly east of Ioka village.
Press 'A' to land the Dactyls.
Tyrano Lair - 65000000 BC
Items: Mid Ether (x2), Full Tonic, Tonic, CeraTopper (x2), Revive,
Meso Mail, Full Ether
Party: Crono, Ayla, and one other
Boss: Azala and BlackTyrano
Enter the open skill and go down the stairs. After a Reptite fight,
flick the switch next to the bone door, releasing the cave people.
Now continue on (through a couple more Reptites) and down the stairs.
After another Reptite fight talk to Kino through the cage door.
After Kino is free enter his cage to get the chest then follow him.
Enter the skull that Kino opens and go up the stairs. You'll come
to a room with two switches. Pressing the switches will cause the
monsters to fall. First go through the door on the right side, get
the chest on the left (the one on the right will drop you down into
the cage you saved the cave men from and you'll have to make your
way back up), and then return so you can continue through the door
on the left.
After a fight or two you'll reach a slightly darkened room. In this
room are hidden teleporters that will either teleport you somewhere
else in the room or they'll transport in some monsters for you to fight.
All the chests except the one in the top right corner are pretty easy
to get with a little experimentation. The top right chest is a little
more difficult to find; the transporter to get to it is in the bottom
left corner of the room (it's on the right side of that little
section, pretty much in the middle). Once you've gotten what you
want and have made it to the stairs, use them to go up to a balcony.
This balcony has two more doors (besides the one you just came through)
but one is shut at the moment so enter the other one.
Here you'll find two switches. Both will open the skull in front of
you but the one on the left also causes monsters to attack you. Enter
the skull and flick the switch you find on the wall. This will open
the door that you passed before because it was closed. Return to it
and enter.
Walk past Nizbel II and save your game. Now head towards the stairs
in the back of the room. Nizbel II will stop you and attack you. After
defeating it climb the stairs.
Here you'll find another balcony with two doors besides the one you
came through. Once again the door in the middle is closed so you only
have one choice. Inside you'll find 3 switches. The bottom right one
will drop 2 Terrasaurs; the top one will cause a save spot to appear;
and the bottom left one will cause the floor on either side of the
main walkway to disappear (if you fall in the holes you'll end up
falling down a level). To open the skull just examine it. Inside
you'll find a chest and a switch. Flick the switch, then go back
and enter the door that was closed before.
In the back of thise room you'll find Azala. When he's done talking
he'll leave through the door behind him. Get the chests and follow
him. The door leads to a bridge. At the end of the bridge you'll
find Azala and his pet Black Tyrano.
After defeating Azala and his pet, Lavos will crash to earth
destroying the Tyrano Lair (you escape of course).
Lair Ruins - 65000000 BC
Party: Crono, Ayla, and one other
All that is left where Lavos hit the earth is a giant crater with a
Gate in it. Enter the Gate and you'll be in 12000 BC.
Cave - 12000 BC
Party: Crono, and whoever
Exit the cave and head east to the Skyway.
Skyway - 12000 BC
Party: Crono and whoever
Step into the center of the circle to be transported to a Land Bridge
in the sky. From there go east to Enhasa.
Enhasa - 12000 BC
Party: Crono and whoever
Talk to everyone and then go north to the other Land Bridge. This will
take you back to earth. Go northwest to get to another Skyway. Once
back in the sky go west to Kajar.
Kajar - 12000 BC
Items: Speed Tab, Black Rock
Party: Crono and whoever
Once again talk to everyone for info. In the top right corner of the
building you should be able to see a shimmering dot above a bookshelf.
To get it, enter the door to the left of the bookshelves and then
search the wall inside that is approximately directly behind the
shimmer that's outside. Inside this room, you'll also learn that
"Water summons wind...wind makes fire dance". There are 3 books that
you can open that, when opened, will either burst into flames, wind,
or water. First open the water book (in the top left corner), then
the wind book (bottom right corner), and finally the fire book (right
about in the middle, next to the Nu that sells you stuff). This will
open a secret door. Inside you'll find a Black Rock. You'll also
find an open book which speaks of a red rock that cultivated dreams.
Now that you know the combination to open the books, return to Enhasa.
Enhasa - 12000 BC
Items: Magic Tab, Speed Tab
Party: Crono and whoever
Once again open the water book (top right corner), the wind book (top
left corner), and finally the fire book (middle, at the entrance).
This will open another secret passage. Inside you'll find a Nu asking
if you want to challenge him. Say yes and you'll have to fight
6 Nus (don't worry, if you lose, you'll just be called a weakling and
sent out of the room). Defeat them and you'll receive a Magic Tab
and a Speed Tab. Examining the book will reveal that "all life
begins with Nu and ends with Nu..."
Now return to Kajar.
Kajar - 12000 BC
Party: Crono and whoever
There isn't anything left for you to do here so go west to the Blackbird.
Blackbird - 12000 BC
Party: Crono and whoever
Here you'll be introduced to Dalton (yippee!! :) From here go east to
a cave.
Cave - 12000 BC
Party: Crono and whoever
Enter the light and you'll be transported to another cave. Exit and
go east to another cave and another transportation. Exit from that
cave and you'll be at Zeal Palace.
Zeal Palace - 12000 BC
Party: Crono and whoever
Start talking to people. Before going to far talk to the Nu that you
can see as you're entering the palace. From him you'll learn the
Nu's scratch point. With that knowledge return to Kajar.
Kajar - 12000 BC
Item: Magic Tab
Party: Crono and whoever
Talk to the Nu with its back to you (it's in the room in the top right
corner of the building). Scratching its back will cause it to open
its mouth dropping out a Magic Tab. Return to Zeal Palace and
continue your exploration.
Zeal Palace - 12000 BC
Party: Crono and whoever
Enter the door in the far right corner. This leads to 2 more doors.
Enter the one on the right. As you enter you'll hear a conversation
between Janus and Schala. Then an aide will enter and call Schala
to the queen. When ready enter the door in the middle of the
main room.
Here you'll see Schala open one of those black doors with her pendant.
Well, you pendant looks like hers, maybe you should try it. Darn,
didn't work. In order to get it to work you pendant must be glowing.
Exit the room you're in and then enter the far left door.
This leads to the Mammon Machine. Search it and it'll make your pendant
glow. Now return to the black door and try to open it. It'll work
this time. Enter when ready.
As you enter, the queen will ask you who you are, the prophet will say
you're troublemakers, and then the queen will tell Dalton to take
you away. Dalton will call on the Golem, which you'll have to fight.
It doesn't matter if you win or lose the battle. Either way you'll
be captured and after a bit you'll be sent through the Gate back to
65000000 BC, which will then be sealed off.
Lair Ruins - 65000000 BC
Party: Crono and whoever
Here one of your companions (it depends on who you have) will give you
the idea of going back to 2300 AD to open the black doors you found.
So go south and hop on the Dactyls, then head west to the Mystic Mts.
Mystic Mts. - 65000000 BC
Party: Crono and whoever
Work your way back to the Gate that is suspended in the air and jump in.
This will take you to the End of Time. Use pillar #2 to go to Proto
Dome in 2300 AD.
Proto Dome - 2300 AD
Party: Crono and whoever
From here go northwest to Lab32.
Lab 32 - 2300 AD
Party: Crono and whoever
Here you'll either have to race Johnny again or go through on foot to
get to the other side. Once you've made it to the other side go
south to the Sewer Access.
Sewer Access - 2300 AD
Party: Crono and whoever
If you went through here earlier then just use the bridges you made to
get to the other end. If you didn't go through earlier look back in
the guide for directions on how to get through. Once you're through
go south to Keeper's Dome.
Keeper's Dome - 2300 AD
Party: Crono and whoever
Go to the back of the room and open the black door. Talk to all the
glowing things. Eventually you'll reach another black door. Through
the door you'll find the "Wings of Time".
Go to the far end of the room and your companions will talk. Then
start to leave the room. You will be stopped by the Nu pushing the
entrance ramp for the machine. Name the machine (default is Epoch)
and then hop aboard and take off.
To move through time move the dial with the control pad and press 'A'
when you're pointing to the time you want to travel to.
You can rename the Epoch at any time by examining the console at the
entrance of this Dome.
Your next destination should be 12000 BC.
Epoch - 12000 BC
Party: Crono and whoever
From the Epoch's landing position go northwest to Terra Cave.
Terra Cave - 12000 BC
Item: Power Tab
Party: Crono and whoever
Inside the cave you'll find Algetty, the village of the Earthbound Ones.
Climb your way down to the bottom of the village (talking to everyone
one your way). At the bottom you'll find a save spot. To the right
of it is the entrance to the Beast's Nest. Enter when ready.
The first thing to do as you enter is get the Power Tab that's in the
bottom right corner. Then go north. After 2 battles with two Beasts
each battle, go up the stairs to fight the boos of the Beast's Nest -
a Mud Imp and his two pets, Blue and Red Beast.
After defeating them climb the chain (you might want to go back and
save first).
Mt. Woe - 12000 BC
Items: Lode Helm, Shield (x2), Lode Vest, Barrier (x3), Lapis (x2),
Full Ether (x2), Shelter, Time Hat
Party: Crono and whoever
First go north and follow the path to the Lode Helm, then come back
and cross the chain to the left of the entrance. Following this path
will take you up to a chain to the next section.
Go right and follow the path to a save spot. Continue going forward
on that path until you see a chain that you can reach on your right.
Go across the chain and collect the treasure on the other side. Now
go back across the chain and go left as far as you can. Get the chest
there and then return right until you reach a ramp going up a level.
Follow that path, get the Lapis from the chest and go right. You
should now be at a cahin going to the right (you should see the
save spot below you). Cross the chain. Follow the path and eventually
you'll reach a chest and another chain leading right, to the next
section.
When you reach a spot where you can either go up on a chain or right
on a chain, go right first to collect 2 chests, then go up the other
chain. Follow the path, collecting the two chests along the way, and
you'll eventually reach a save spot next to a chain leading up to
the next section. There's a boss coming up so save.
Continue following the path, collecting 2 more chests along the way.
Soon you'll climb a long chain. As you climb it'll get darker. At
the top you'll find a large crystal. Before walking up to it you may
want to switch you characters so that Ayla is in your party (her and
Crono's Falcon Hit attack works very well). Search the crystal
and you'll have to fight Giga Gaia.
Killing it will free Melchior from the crystal prison. The mountain
will collapse into the sea and you'll escape back to Algetty.
Terra Cave - 12000 BC
Item: Ruby Knife
Party: Crono and whoever
A whole bunch of stuff is said and Dalton end up capturing Schala.
Talk to Melchior and he'll give you Ruby Knife to destroy the
Mammon Machine. Exit the Terra Cave and head west to the SkyWay.
SkyWay - 12000 BC
Party: Crono and two others
Travel to the sky. From the Land Bridge you reach go northeast to
the other Land Bridge. Use it to go back to the ground. From here
go northwest to another SkyWay. Return to the sky and go west to
Kajar.
Kajar - 12000 BC
Party: Crono and two others
The Nu that sells stuff has weapons and armors for sale now. Make
sure to tell him the pendant isn't Schala's or he won't sell to you.
From here go right, though the caves, to Zeal Palace.
Zeal Palace - 12000 BC
Party: Crono and two others
Boss: Dalton
From the entrance go straight back all the way to the queen's room.
Here you'll find Dalton. After defeating him he'll escape through
a portal. Follow him in. It'll transport you to the Ocean Palace.
Ocean Palace - 12000 BC
Items: Rune Blade, Aeon Suit, Aeon Helm, Kaiser Arm, Sonic Arrow,
Star Sword, Shock Wave, Demon Hit, Magic Tab, Elixir
Party: Crono and two others
Boss: Golem (x2), Lavos
After talking to Mune you'll get to see what the queen is doing
elsewhere in the palace. Enter the door Mune was in front of.
After getting the two chests in this room enter the door in the top
right corner.
Step on the blue circle. After defeating the monsters that appear go
through the door on the right side of the room. Get the chest and
exit the room through the bottom right door.
Go down and enter the door you find (bottom right corner of the room).
Defeat the Blue Scouts (or sneak past them) and go through the door
at the bottom. Take the Kaiser Arm from the chest and continue
downward. The path will go to the left and you'll find another blue
dot. Step on it and continue left. Get the chest and work your way
back to the main room (the big one with 6 doors).
Enter the door in the top left corner. Inside, step on the blue
circle and the ngo through the door on the left. Get the chest and
exit the room through the bottom right door. You're now back in the
main room.
Enter the bottom left door now. Get the chest and enter the door at
the bottom of the room.
Go left along the wall and you'll reach a spot where you can go
through the wall to get a chest (which you can see) with Demon Hit
in it. Return to the main room and enter the door in the middle
of the lower wall.
After a fight go down the stairs to your left. Continue along this
path (fighting and climbing down stairs) until you reach Masa.
You'll see what's happening with the queen and company.
When the game comes back to you, continue down the stairs. At the
bottom is a save spot and a door. Save if you want and enter the
door.
After a fight examine the shimmering dot on the left side of the
room. This will activate the elevator. On the way down you'll have to
fight a few times. Once you've reached the bottom go through the
door at the top. If you re-enter the door and use the elevator to
go back up, you can get a Magic Tab at the top of the elevator,
but then you'll have to go all the way back down on foot.
As you enter go left and enter the little room you reach. Defeat
the Scouts (all 3 types) and press the switch on the wall. Exit the
little room and then go over to the little room on the right side.
Defeat mroe scouts and press another switch. Now go back to the
main room and step on the blue circle. This will make a bridge
across the lava. Go through the door on the other side.
Take the Elixir from the chest and use the save spot if you want
(there's a boss coming up). Go through the door where you'll find
Dalton. He'll summon a pair of Golems.
After defeating them Dalton will escape again. Go through the door
in the back of the room. Here you'll find the queen and company.
You'll use the Red Knife and it'll destroy the Mammon Machine.
You'll now have to fight Lavos (don't worry it probably won't last
long). After he wipes you out the prophet (who, if you haven't
figured it out yet, is really Magus) enters, then Queen Zeal and
Schala do too. Lavos attacks Magus, but it doesn't harm him. Magus
counterattacks but it doesn't hurt Lavos and Magus is thrown to the
ground. When Crono gets up take him up to Lavos. Lavos attacks
Crono and with his last bit of energy Crono save your two companions,
Magus, and Schala, then he is disintegrated.
Schala then uses the last of here pendants power to send you out of
the Ocean Palace. The land in the clouds is destroyed by lavos and
the pieces fall to the earth causing a tidal wave that wipes out
most of the land.
Last Village - 12000 BC
Item: Magic Tab
Party: anyone but Crono (of course)
You'll awake (without Crono of course) in a small hut. The Elder
enters and tell you what happened and give you the Pendant. You'll
then be asked to pick your party (the choice is yours, but you
may want to take Ayla). There is a save spot in the hut plus if
you examine the hay you can sleep. Exit the hut and then visit the
other two huts. One hut just has some info, the other has a shop.
As you enter the shop, just stand there, and the Nu will move out
of the way allowing you to get the shimmering Magic Tab behind him.
When you're finished go to the Commons.
Commons - 12000 BC
Party: whoever
Talk to everyone. When you talk to the Elder, Dalton and his soldiers
will come in and capture you.
Blackbird - 12000 BC
Party: whoever you picked before being captured
Boss: GolemBoss, DaltonPlus
When you awake you'll be aboard the Blackbird and you'll be missing
all your equipment, items, and gold.
If you didn't put Ayla in your party you won't be able to fight
(you'll have to run if you get attacked, at least I think that's
how it would work). If Ayla is in the party and she dies before the
other two get their weapons back, all will die.
Climb the ladder to see that you are indeed in the Blackbird. Then
climb back down. Search the wall where one of your chraracters
shows you and you'll climb up into the ventilation ducts.
Press 'A' in any of the brightly lite areas to look below you.
Basically just wander around, going from ventilation ducts to normal
corridors and rooms, until you find your missing stuff. Conveyer
belts can be reversed in direction by flipping the switch that's
next to them. In general:
-One party member's equipment is in a room north of your cell
-Gold is in a room to the left of your cell
-One party member's equipment is in a room southwest of your cell
-Items are in a room northwest of your cell
-One party member's equipment is in a room that you can only reach
from the ventilation ducts (from the ladder in the top left
corner, go up the ladder and it'll be the only other door you
can see)
The room with the items in it also has a door leading out onto the
wing (which is where you want to go after you find all your stuff).
Once you have all your stuff go to the door leading to the wing.
On the wing you'll see quite a few Turrets (you can fight them if
you want). At the end of the wing you'll have to fight Golem Boss
(which you can probably defeat without even getting hit).
After defeating it, Dalton will fly in on the Epoch (which has wings
and can fly now). You'll jump aboard the Epoch and have to face
DaltonPlus. When you defeat him he'll try calling the GolemBoss
(but since you just defeated it... :)
Now you're in control of the Epoch. One of your party memebers will
say to hit 'Y'. Doing so fires a laser which hits the Blackbird
and makes it crash.
You'll now automatically land the Epoch outside the Last Village.
Last Village - 12000 BC
Party: whoever
The Nu has new equipment for sale. Once you've got what you want go
to the Commons.
Commons - 12000 BC
Party: whoever
Here you'll learn that someone passed through here looking for you.
Go north to the North Cape to find out who it is.
North Cape - 12000 BC
Party: whoever
Boss: Magus (optional)
Here you'll find Magus (AKA Janus). You'll learn more about him.
He'll ask if you want to fight him. Say NO!! and then walk away.
Magus will stop you and ask to join your party.
You can fight him but you won't be able to have him on your party if
you do (mainly cause he'll be dead :) If Frog is in your party
when you fight Magus, Frog will fight him alone.
If you do defeat him you'll get his Amulet (which he'll be wearing
if he joins you). After you're done here at North Cape return to
and board the Epoch. Now you'll see the Ocean Palace rise out of
the water as the Black Omen.
At this point you can enter the Black Omen, but unless you're
playing this in New Game + mode, or spent a lot of time raising
levels, you're probably not strong enough.
The best thing to do is to go to the End of Time.
End of Time
Item: C. Trigger
Party: whoever
Talk to the old man. You'll tell him what happened to Crono. When
you're done talking attemt to leave. The old man will call you back
and reveal that he is Gaspar, the Guru of Time, and he'll give you
the Chrono Trigger. He then tell you to talk to the one who made
the Epoch. Go back aboard the Epoch and travel to 2300 AD.
Now would be a good time to go on a black treausre chest hunt to
collect treasure.
======Black Chest/Door hunt======
2300 AD
Items: Charm Top, Full Ether (x2), Wallet, Power Ring, Gold Stud,
Magic Tab, Power Tab, Lumin Robe, Elixir, Hit Ring, Gold Erng
Party: whoever
First go to Bangor Dome and open the black door. On the other side
is three normal chests. While you're here enter the gate. This will
take you to the End of Time and opens pillar 8 & 9. Use pillar 9
to go to Guardia Forest in 1000 AD to get the black chest there, then
return to 2300 AD and continue the hunt.
From Bangor Dome go south to Trann Dome. Here you'll find another
black door with two more normal chests on the other side, plus a
shimmering Magic Tab.
Next , find the black door in Arris Dome. Through that door is 4
regular chests and a shimmering Power Tab.
Now go to 600 AD.
600 AD
Items: Speed Tab
Party: whoever
Go to Truce Inn and examine the black chest, DO NOT take it's contents
though.
From there go west to Guardia Forest. Go ahead and get the black
chest here.
Next, examine, but don't get, the black chest in Guardia Castle and
the two black chests in the Elder's house in Porre.
From Porre go northeast to the Magic Cave and get the black chest
that's there, then go to 1000 AD.

Elixir, Red Mail, Full Ether, HyperEther, MegaElixir,
Shelter, Black Mail, White Mail,Blue Mail, Taban Suit,

Party: Marle, Lucca, and whoever
First go to Heckran Cave, which is near Melchior's hut, and get the
black chest there.
The ultimate black chest is in the blue pyramid call Forest Ruins,
which is north of Medina. Inside the ruins you'll find a regular
chest and a blue pyramid which will be unlocked by the pendant.
A Nu will appear and offer your choice of two black chests: the
right one contains Swallow, the left one contains Safe Helm.
Next go to Guardia Castle. If you enter without Marle the guards will
chase you away. Enter with Marle, and the Chancellor will come
out to greet you. Go talk to the king in the throne room. He and
Marle will have a fight and the king will go up to his room. Go
up to his room to talk to him (collecting both the normal & black
chests on the way up). Go back to the throne room and talk to the
Chancellor. He'll tell you the king likes Jerky. First explore the
castle and get the chests you find then go to the Snail Stop in
Porre village and pay the 9900 G to get the Jerky.
While you're in Porre go to the Mayor's Manor to get a couple black
chests and a normal chests. Then return to the castle.
Climb the stairs tot he left of the throne room to get back up to
the king's room. Talk to the king and Marle will give him the
Jerky. At first he'll be pleased that you'd give him something but
then he sees what it is and gets mad at Marle for giving him Jerky
when she knows he has high chlorestoral.
Since the king will no longer talk to you, you might as well continue
your hunt for black chests.
The final chest to get in 1000 AD is in Truce Inn. Get it then
take Lucca to visit her dad for Taban Suit and Taban Helm. Next,
go back to 600 AD.
600 AD
Items: Blue Vest, Red Vest, Black Vest, White Vest
Party: whoever
To finish off the hunt get all the black chests you only examined
before. They are in Truce Inn, Guardia Castle, and two in the
Elder's house in Porre. Now go to Keeper's Dome in 2300 AD to
continue your quest to save Crono.
=====End of Black Chest hunt=====
If you want to skip bringing Crono back, you can skip directly to the
sub-quests.
Keeper's Dome - 2300 AD
Item: Magic Tab
Party: whoever
Go to the back and open the black door. Once through the door head
towards the other black door (keep an eye open for a shimmering
Magic Tab a little before the 2nd black door).
In front of it you'll find the Nu that Belthasar has place his
memories into. Talk to it and it'll tell you what to do next.
You'll need a clone of Crono to continue. If you won one earlier
at the fair go to Crono's house and it'll be upstairs. If not,
go to Norstein Bekkler's lab in Leene Square. Either way you need
to return to the Epoch and go to 1000 AD.
Truce Village - 1000 AD
Items: Clone
Party: whoever
If you won a Crono clone earlier go to the upstairs of Crono's house
to get it.
If you need a clone go to Leene Square. Norstein Bekkler's Lab is
on the right side of the bottome section of the Square. Bekkler will
offer you a challenge - the longer you stay in his game the less
he'll charge you for the clone. You need 40 Silver Points to play
(if you need points go fight Gato, the Robot Battle Trainer). The
game he has you play is the mimin the clone game (see earlier
in the guide for description). If you have enough money, the price
he charges you will be deducted after the game and the clone will
be at Crono's house. Go there to get it.
Now that you have the Clone return to the Keeper's Dome in 2300 AD.
