   You can exit the Black Omen at any time by returning to the beginning
    and examinging the shimmering dot.
   After Queen Zeal give her little speech and you've defeated the Laser
    Guards, try entering the door.  If you've enter the Omen from 2300 AD
    the door will be shut; exit the Omen and try again from another
    time period.
   Once you're through the door, Queen Zeal will summon Mega Mutant
    which you must fight.  After defeating it continue along the path and
    eventually you'll reach save spot.
   After many fights you'll eventually find a tube of light.  Step into
    it and you'll be transported to another area.  From here go down and
    you'll find a shimmering dot.  Examine it and the whole platform will
    descend.  After a couple fights you'll reach the bottom.  Enter the
    door at the top and then go right. 
   Follow this path until you reach stairs.  Go past the stairs to get the
    chest then go back and up the stairs.  Straight ahead is a door.
    Get the chest to the left and then enter.
   From here go up another set of stairs then go right.  Collect the
    chests then continue up and through the door.  Get two more chests
    then go up where you'll find another pair of chests and a save spot.
    A little past that and you'll find two more chests and a couple Nus.
    The Nu on the left will sell you stuff and the Nu on the right will
    offer to transport you out of the Black Omen.  When you're ready to
    continue examine the back wall to reveal a door.
   Once through the door go left a little ways and you'll have to fight
    a Tubster.  After defeating it go through the door and continue
    forward.  When you reach a chest, get it then go through the door 
    that's on the right.  
   Follow this path (collecting a chest along the way) until you reach
    a fork in the path.  Take either path (they come together). Get the
    chest and continue downward where you'll have to fight another
    Tubster along with 2 Flyclops.  After defeating them go down some
    more to another fight.  After that fight, get the chest on the right
    side of the room then go through the door in the bottom wall.  
   Go past the next door you reach to get another chest, then enter the 
    door.  Step in the middle of the square on top of the pedestal to be 
    transported to yet another area of the Black Omen.  Go through the
    door and then, after going up a little, go left all the way across
    to a chest on the other side.  Then go up as far as you can and from
    there, go right as far as you can.  Once again go up and then left
    to get two more chests.  After getting the chests continue along
    the path and through the door.
   Here you'll find a save spot.  A little ways furthe is Giga Mutant.
    Go through the door when you defeat the Giga Mutant.  Here you'll find
    another transporter.  
   After transporting you'll reach another elevator.  Examine the 
    shimmering dot to start the elevator on its journey upwards.  When it
    reaches the top, enter the door.
   Continue along this path and eventually you'll reach a fight with a
    pair of Tubsters.  Defeat them and then follow the path a little
    further to a door. 
   After defeating 4 Panels, a save spot will appear. Get the chest and 
    then take the path on the right.  A little further you'll find two
    chests but before you can get them you'll have to defeat TerraMutant.
    After defeating it, get the chests then go through the door.  Go up
    the hallway and through another door where you'll find a Lavos Spawn
    (remember not to attack the shell).  Defeat it, then go through the
    door.  
   In this room you'll have to battle 5 Panels to advance through the
    door.  As you enter you'll see what appears to be your companions
    floating in tubes of liquid.  Go forward and you'll reach Queen Zeal.
    First you'll have to fight Zeal.  After defeating her you'll
    immediately go into battle with the Mammon Machine.  And then once
    you're through with that battle you have to fight Zeal again (in
    a different form).
   After defeating Zeal's final form Lavos will awaken and destroy the
    Black Omen.  All that remains for you to do is destroy Lavos.
 
                         =====Fight With Lavos=====

    Party: whoever
Lavos has 3  individual stages.  In the first stage he mimics all the
 main bosses of the game, one-by-one, until they're all defeated.
 The bosses he mimics are:
          Dragon Tank (w/ Tank head and Grinder)
          Guardian (w/ 2 Bits)
          Heckran
          Zombor (Head & Body)
          Masa & Mune (Fused form)
          Nizbel
          Magus
          Azala (w/ Black Tyrano)
          Giga Gaia (Head & 2 arms)
Once those are defeated he fights in his own fighting style.  There is a
 break between each mimic for you to heal and stuff.

After defeating the 1st stage his head will disappear revealing an 
 opening.  Inside you'll find a cave-like area.
     -You'll start at this point if you took the flying Epoch to 1999 AD
      (the Epoch will also be destoryed if you do this).
     -If you got here by going through the Black Omen there will be a
      save spot and a Gate leading back to the End of Time.  If you use
      the Gate you can get back by either going to 1999 AD thru the pail
      or with the Epoch.  It doesn't affect anything if you use the Gate
      and come back.
 Go to the end of the cave to face stage 2 of Lavos.
 Stage 2 consists of a head and 2 arms similar to the Giga Gaia.

After defeating that stage, Lavos will reveal its true self, which is 
 Lavos Core.  It also contains 3 parts: the main body, a healing bit (the
 left one), and an "Active Life" bit (the right one).
 Defeat the "Active Life" bit to defeat the whole thing.

After defeating Lavos you'll get an ending based on what you did or didn't
 do and what part of the game you were in.
