Double Speed Chrono Theme
This trick will speed up the 2nd Chronos Theme (When you ram through Lavos with the Epoch) by 2x. This wont affect gameplay, but it is a neat trick to use.
1. First, get in the Epoch and go to 1999 A.D.
2. When you get to the part where you choose whether to fight Lavos or escape, choose to escape.
3. Press B to return to the game, and it will ask you the question again. This time, choose to fight Lavos. When the 2nd Crono theme plays, it will be sped up by 2x.
Not that the music will cut out before the scene ends, but dont worry. Everything will return to normal when Epoch crashes.
Extra Tabs
One tab lies hidden behind Tomas grave in 1000 A.D., after you pour the pop on his tombstone.
Another tab lies hidden against the lower wall to the right of the door, in the room which is above the spot where the robot player fights his old friend Atropos inside the robot factory in 2300 A.D.
Find Magus Best Equipment
To find Magus best equipment, simply go to ozzies fort. When you enter a room where he tempts you to take a treasure, ignore him and leave the room from the upper exit. Right when youre about to exit, he gives up and youre free to steal the treasure. Below the upper exit is a hole in the wall that you cant see. Walk all the way down and take a weapon, helm, and armor for magus. There should also be a magic tab in the same area.
Free Armor and Helms
At Different times in the game if you go back to Luccas house in 1000 a.d. Taban(her father) will have made items her to wear, and usually they will be stronger that what she has equiped and always will have other positive affects. Here is a list of the items Taban makes:
Taban Vest
Taban Helm
Taban Armor
Note: These items may be neither sold nor equipped by any other party member.
New Game +
After beating the game once a new option will appear. If you select it and load one of your saved games youll restart with all the items you had in the previous game. If you beat the game this time youll get a different ending.
How to face Yaraka XXII
Go to Giants Claw in 600 A.D. Beat all the enemys for experience points for when you fight a try and similar to the one in 65,000,000 B.C. Once you beat him, go straight ahead to the rainbow shell and ask Gaurdia castle to help you pick it up. Then go to 1,000 A.D. Go to Guardia castle and when you go their, theres another trial
but this time its against Marles dad. If you find your way to the trial, youll notice a treasure chest thats locked. To open the chest you must face Yaraka XXII to get the key. In the chest the real chancelor awaits you, open it, then, if you decide you want to fight Lavos you will get the moonlight parade for a ending.
Get the MOP!
To get the mop, simply Charm (yes, the spell) the NU at the hunting grounds in 65,000,000 B.C. Unless you get it when youre still early in the game, it will be weak, and worthless (unless youd like to brag about it....)
Power Up for the Future
The chests work logically with the timeline. If you get a chest in the past it will not be there in the future. But, if you get a chest in the future and go back in time the chest will be there with a different item.
However, instead of simply getting the sealed chests from future to past, go to the past, and when you SELECT A SEALED CHEST choose NOT to take out whats inside. THEN go to the future and get that same box. Whatever was inside will become something MORE POWERFUL because you said NO to it in the past.
Heres what the equipment will become in the future:
PAST¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿FUTURE
White Vest¿¿¿¿¿¿¿White Mail
Black Vest¿¿¿¿¿¿ Black Mail
Red Vest¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ Red Mail
Blue Vest¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ Blue Mail
Kali Blade ¿¿ Shiva Edge
Siren crossbow¿¿ Valkyrie
Nova Armor¿¿¿¿¿¿ Moon Armor
Others objects may power-up as well, so check every chest in this manner.
Secret Scene
When you are in your jail cell, take the bag, drink from the cup and save it if you want. Wait in the cell until the day of the execution. When you are about to be beheaded, one of your team members(the one who built the telepods at the fair) will come and shoot all your enemies and save you with her new gun the Zonker 38. Now, the only enemies that should be alive are the big shield things.
Skip Guard Fights
When you are in the prison for kidnapping Marel, if you break out before Lucca saves you you can avoid the fights that have Guards in them; if you
sneak up behind them, and push A Crono pulls out his sword and knocks them out. When they are passed out if you push A next to them you get a Mid Tonic.
Defeating Lavos
First, make sure you have the best (or VERY good) equipment with you, such as elixers, mega elixers, and some other things to heal you, or fill up your magic. Now, the easiest way to kill him is to use the epoch and go to 1999 A.D.
Now you will run into Lavos and you wont have to fight the shell. When you start to fight Lavos, attack him with the Luminaire, or another good spell that hurts. First attack and get rid of the arms. As soon as thats done, attack the body until its gone.
Now, this part, is VERY hard to most players. No matter what you do, you will go to fight the Lavos Core. Attack the middle guy, and kill him. This part it pretty hard, but you should accomplish it. Now, attack the Left guy that is floating. Keep doing it until the 2 guys revive the middle guy. They will do this every time he dies, or until you beat the game. Now, once again, kill the middle, and continue to attack the left bit. Keep attacking, and killing until the left bit dies. As soon as it dies, all three of the guys die!
Crono Vs. Lavos
To fight against Lavos with just Crono, start a NEW GAME +, then when you first try the telepod, go on the wrong side, and press the A button (making sure you have the best equipment on). This will take you directly to Lavos.
HINT: The fight is much easier if you have a gold stud equipped.
Easy Silver Points
If youre going to then fair youre going to need some silver points. Theyre mostly just for fun right now, but later in the game youll need them to get the Crono clone. You can sit there and play the bell-ringing game for all eternity and not have enough, since you only get one silver point-per-win that way. Instead, focus on the races. Pay attention to the old man standing behind the fence to the right of the starting point. He will tip you off to the winner the first three times. After that, its best to just predict the same winner over and over, and you can follow and distract the other racers by trying to talk to them repeatedly. Have fun!
Unlimited Power Tabs
Youll need Ayla in your party to do this. When youre in the Black Omen at the end, in the room right after the two Nus theres a turbo monster. Use charm with Ayla and youll get a powertab. Run
away and go back into the room with the Nus. Go back to the tubo and steal from him again. Do this until you have as many powertabs as you want.
Unlock the Factory Door
If your having trouble with the door on the very bottom floor try this. Whenever you go to the computer and it asks you to enter the code, press X, A, B, Y.
Hidden Room in Yakras Place
In Yakras Place in the room with the fake queen, king and soldier go in and kill the fakes, then run against the right and you should find a room with monsters singing to a magus statue. Right next to the statue there are two treasure chests. Also you can talk to a monster after getting the chests. Talk to a monster and you will fight them.
Hidden Room in Ozzies Fort
At Ozzies Fort in the room where Ozzie tries to get you to get the chest, keep against the walls and you should find a hidden small, thin hallway (its covered in black until you discover it.) The chests there have some of Maguss best armor and also his best weapon.
Easy Tech Points
Go to Mt. Woe and fight rubbles. When you get to the second level (with
the rubble on the top right corner) fight it, then go back to the previous
level. When you go back, the rubble is also be back. You get 1000 exp. and
100 tech points each time you beat it.
Extra cash and loda sword in prison
When you are a captive after "kidnapping" Marle, wait the three days
instead of rushing ahead. From the execution room turn right, go up and
keep going until you reach a cell with a hole in the wall, go out this hole
and climb down the wall. keep going until you see another entrance. Explore
this room until you see a black hole in the floor. Go down by pressing the
A button. There will be a lot of prizes for those who had the patience to
come here. go back up the same way to get back into the prison.
Unlimited shelters
To get as many shelters as you want or 99. Go to Gardia Forest in year
600. Explore or take the first left turn then go north then turn right. Here you
face 2 choices up or across. Go across, youll see some rustleing bushes. Both have monsters in them, green & white, the white one will drop a
shelter,then leave, (or not.) Leave, then go back to the same spot and the monster
will drop another shelter, do this as many times as you want.
Secret Naga-ette Bromide
When you first go to the cathedral in 600 A.D, go to the first room on the left stairway where there are the three chests. Go over to the drawer and open it, and you will get the secret Naga-ette bromide. Dont know what it does, but it is a secret. Be ready to fight once you get it.
Rescue Luccas Mom
There is a way to rescue Luccas mom by entering a strange red portal. Here is how you get the portal to appear. Once you get near the end of the game, go to 600 a.d. Next to Fionas House you should see a whirlwind in the sand. Make sure you have people with you who have water or ice magic. Once you get near the end of this area, you will have to fight a skeleton similar to the one on Zeenan Bridge. You must use water or ice magic to weaken him and then attack him. After you defeat him, go back and talk to Fiona. After you talk to her, go outside and put Robo in your party. Talk to Fiona again and Robo will ask if he can stay and help Fiona. Say yes. Go back outside, and you should see Robo seeding the ground and doing other farming stuff. Fly back to 10000 a.d. Where there used to be a desert, there will be a large forest with a cathedral in the middle. Go inside the cathedral, and near the top, on a pedestal, you will see rusty old Robo. Here comes the red portal part. After you pull Robo down from the pedestal, you and the rest of your party will be talking in the forest. After the party goes to sleep, you will be able to control Lucca. Go to the right side of the screen, and you will enter a clearing in the forest. There will be a portal there. Enter it, and Lucca will be sent back to her house in the past. After a little bit of talking, Lara will begin to get sucked into the machine. Run downstairs through the middle door. It should bring you to the left of the machine. Go up to it, and it should ask you what the password is. After that scene goes away, press L-A-R-A in that order on your controller. The machine should stop and Lara should be safe. If you beat the game after doing this, rather than Lara sitting at the parade, she should be up dancing with Taban.
Unlimited Shelters
In Guardia Forest 600 A.D. look in one of the bushes that moves when you come near it. "Talk" to it and a Spekkio-like monster will jump out, leaving a Shelter as it escapes. Go out of the forest, then back in and look into the bush again. Doing that over and over, youll get as many Shelters as you want.
How to charge the sunstone
After you acquire the sunstone take it back to 65,000,000 BC and place it
in the sunkeep. After that go to present day and you will find it missing. Go around the world until you see sparkles coming from a
house, this is the mayors house. He has the sunstone but he wont give it
back unless you perform a past task. Go to the snail shop in that town and
buy the jerky, then go to the mayors house in 600 AD(where you go in your first time travel experiance) talk to the lady in there and she
will ask to buy your jerky. You will have the chance to sell it or give it
to her. Give it to her then return to the present, talk to the mayor and he
will give you the sunstone. Return it to the sunkeep and go to the future.
Put Lucca in your party and go to the sunkeep,she will take the stone back
to her house, with it she will make her best weapon. Her dad will also make
an accessory that ups attack power. If you take this item and the rainbow
stone to Melchoir in the castle he will make Cronos best weapon,the Rainbow.
Hint: Naga Bromide
Once the bromide is acquired, continue with the game until way after the war is over. Once the game is nearly beaten, go to 600 AD. Visit Dorino. Enter the house with the old man in the left room and the woman in the right. Talk to the man. He will offer you something in return for the bromide. Accept his offer because you wont use the bromide anyways. He will go unlock a drawer in the right room. Go open the drawer after he tells you that its unlocked and you will find a speed tab inside.
Hint: Third Eye
Go to 65,000,000 BC. Then go to the hunting range. Get to the treetop and go to the bottom right part of it. Wait for it to rain. The Nu should appear there. Fight the Nu. Once you defeat him, he will give you 3 of each: petals, fangs, horns, and feathers. He will then retreat into the trees and say "You plenty strong! Here! Take!". You will then recieve the Third Eye. Once equipped to one of your players, it will double their Evade.
You can only do this once per game. Anytime after you get the Third Eye, the Nu will just give you the petals, fangs, horns, and feathers. Also, if you dont beat the Nu the first time, he will be in a different spot in the hunting range.
Hint: Recruit Schala
To have Schala as a party member, fight her mother in an optional battle. Go and clear the game. Select New Game Plus and reach the same part where you fight Schalas mother and opt to flee from the battle.
Now, when the city falls, an island will appear. Go there and you will find Schala crying, and she says she has no where to go, and asks to join you.
Hint: Characters Theme Music
At the End of Time, when youre asked to assemble your party, you can listen to each characters theme music. All you must do is select the character (after accepting their offer to join the party) to listen to the music. They dont have to be in your party permanently, however, so dont fear that if you want to listen to a characters tune without ultimately selecting them.
