Alternate God Of War appearances: As your characters advance in levels, the God Of War
(who can be found in the back room at the end of time) takes on
different appearances. When your characters reach the higher levels,
it will change into Masamune (the one you fight in the Denadoro
Mountains, only blue instead of yellow). When you take a party
of people who are all at level 99 he will take on a final form
of a Nu. He does all of the highest power magic attacks including
Flare, Dark Matter, and Luminair. He also does Hallation (brings
everyone down to 1 hp), a physical attack, and Salt (which heals
one of your characters completely). Physical attacks do next to
nothing on him, and magic is reduced. If you defeat him you get
10 of each tablet and 10 Mega Elixirs. If he is too difficult,
you can always put someone in your party that is under level 99
he will return back to Masamune.

Fighting Lavos again: It is possible to fight Lavos again easily after completing
the game. Start a New Game +, go to Lucca's telepod machine, and
enter the right telepod. Fight his stage before going through
his shell and verything after that point with only Crono and Marle.
Information in this section was contributed by Pika312.
Fighting Lavos one-on-one: Start a New Game+ and let Marle get on the transporter.
She will get sucked back in time. Then, with Crono, run onto the
right transporter that takes you to Lavos.
Information in this section was contributed by TurcleII.
Facing Lagos with less fighting: When you get to the point where you must either fight
Lavos or do the side quests, take the Epoch to the "Day Of
Lavos". You should get an intermission sequence involving
your characters charging Lavos with the Epoch. You then end up
inside Lavos (with the Epoch destroyed), without having to do
all the fighting at the beginning.

Fighting Spekkio in the Nu form: To get Spekkio to transform you have to get your party's
levels to 99. Use the following trick if you want to fight him
with another three. If you take the three characters with the
level 99 into the room and then press Y (SNES version)
and change characters, Spekkio will stay in the Nu form. It may
be more difficult because their levels are low and Spekkio will
do all the strong spells like Luminar and Dark Matter. If you
are lucky, he will use Salt which is a spell that does the same
as Cure 2 on one of your characters.
Information in this section was contributed by Jay House.
Use the following trick to fight Spekkio in the Nu form with anyone.
After you get three people in the group to level 99 which is represented
by two stars, Spekkio, the god of war, will take the form of a
Nu. If you go into his room without those three who are on level
99, he will be in the Masamune form and you will not be able to
fight. Walk into the room with your three characters then switch
to other characters. When you exit that screen, he should be in
the Nu form. Now you can fight him in the Nu form with anyone
out of your group.

Defeating the final Golem on the plane:
When you are captured and taken aboard the blackbird
after Chrono dies, you will fight the final Golem on the wing
of the plane. Instead of wasting MP and effort fighting him, wait.
After a while, his fear of heights will overwhelm him and he will
run away.
Information in this section was contributed by David Souza.
Defeating Gato: When you start, the fastest way to gain silver points
is to defeat Gato. This is only for when you are just starting
the game; otherwise you will not need it. When the battle begins,
let him hit you once. It will not do very much damage. He will
turn around and walk forward. Wait until he is back there, then
start attacking him or use a technique. He will not be able to
counter it (punch you three times). This gets easier as you get
stronger. You will only gain one technique point. If you want
more, go to the Guardia Forest.
Information in this section was contributed by Alex Garcia.
Defeating the Golem Twins: Have Ayla and Robo in your party. When you face the
Golem Twins, have them cast Bogie. You can now hit them with your
most powerful combos and they will not Mimic. If the spell wears
off, use it again.
Information in this section was contributed by Mac Sample.
Get one or two people to have a red, blue, white, or black mail
suit. Have the same suit of magic that corresponds to the caster.
For example, if the caster is Crono have him wear the white vest,
as it protects against lightning. When you cast a lightning spell,
the twins will copy that magic. Instead of hurting that person,
it will cure them. Information in this section was
contributed by davis208.
When facing the Golem Twins have Robo and Frog with you, and with
Chrono repeatedly use the Confuse tech on the first Golem. It
attacks four times and can average about 1,200 damage per turn.
As support, use Cure Wave, and when everyone has a safe amount
of HP, use Frogs Water magic (since the Mimic Water attack is
weak). Once the first Golem is down, the Triple Threat combo will
speed things up a bit, but it leaves you more vulnerable.

Defeat Magus: Before leaving 65 million B.C. with the red rock, go
to the Dactyl's nest. Go up and down the mountain, defeating all
the enemies in your path. Exit the nest and re-enter it. The monsters
will have respawned. Continue doing this until Crono, Marle, and
Lucca all know their strongest techniques. This will take some
time and patience. After learning the techniques, fix the Masamune
and give it to Frog. When you reach the fight with Magus, you
will damage him significantly with Crono's Luminaire or Lucca's
Flare attack.

Defeating Son of Sun: In the future 2300 AD you have to fight the Son of
Sun in order to get the Moon Stone. An easy way to defeat him
is to get a special armor found in 65,000,000 BC. You will need
ten of each of the following to buy one: Fangs, Petals, Horns,
and Feathers. It is called Ruby Armor and greatly reduces the
terrible attack Flare and the counterattack of the flames.

Stealing from Megasaur: When you steal from Megasaur with a Twin Charm you
will get an Aeon Blade. If you steal with just normal charm, you
get a Lapis*1, which recovers everyone by 200 hp.
Information in this section was contributed by bizkit02.
Stealing from Evilweevil: This is useful when you first enter the cave with Ayla
in 65 million BC. Steal from them to get a Dream Gun. You will
get a Dream Gun with either type of charm used. Use Twin Charm
with Ayla and Marle for better results.

Stealing: Steal from the indicated creature to get the corresponding
items.

Lower MP use: Later in the game when the Black Omen appears, enter
a battle with it with Alya in your party. As you fight through
the ship you will encounter across some Flyclops (small enemies
with one eye and wings). When in a battle with them, use Alya's
Charm tech to get the Gold Stud accessory, which cuts MP by 75%.
Do this with every Flyclops you encounter and you should get enough
Gold Studs for everyone in your party. With it equipped, all magic
attacks such as Dark Matter and Triple Kick cost only 5 MP. Any
other magic will lowered as well.

Chrono: Rainbow Sword (Found in Rainbow Shell Sidequest).
Lucca: Wonder Shot (Found in Sidequest 3).
Marle: Valkerye (Found in Northern Ruins Sidequest).
Robo: Terra Arm (Found in 2300 AD Sidequest).
Ayla: Bronze Fists (Level up in the high 90s and she will learn
it).
Frog: Masume 2 (Go to the Northern Ruins Sidequest, then at the
Hero Grave Toma will take the sword and put all his power into
it) .
Money and tech points
Silver Points: Go to the left of the tent where you bet on the racers.
Talk to the man standing across the track when the runners line
up. He will then tell you the name of the racer that will win.
Run over to the betting tent and place you bet to get an easy
20 Silver Points.

Note: The following trick requires controller with an auto-fire
feature, to allow Silver Points to be collected quickly during
the Millennial Fair. First, reach the point in the game where
you can switch all the characters in your roster around. Go to
the Millennial Fair in the year 1000 A.D., with Magus, Marle,
Robo, or Frog in the first slot and Chrono, Lucca, or Ayla in
the second or third slots. Go to the pop chugging contest, activate
the auto-fire, and walk up the man that runs the contest. Your
first character should stay in place while your second or third
characters chugs. You can now leave the game unattended as your
Silver Points increase.

and Jay House.
Later in the game, repeatedly defeat Gato.

In the SNES version, when you go into the fair, go straight to
your left. You should see a thing where you hit a bell. Go as
far back as possible and press A. If done correctly, you
should go over to a person standing next to it. He should give
you one Silver Point. You can do this as many times as desired.

9999 damage: There is a way to do 9999 damage to anything in the
game in one strike. As Ayla's levels increase, her weapon (her
fists) also changes. When her levels start getting high, her weapon
will become the bronze fists. With these, her critical hit will
do 9999 damage to anything (even Queen Zeals Hands will suffer
it).
Information in this section was contributed by Cdderek.
Money: Once Ayla is with you in 65,000,000 B.C., you will
be able to trade petals, horns, and feathers for new items. Trade
and equip them on your characters. After that, trade for more
of the items. Then go and sell the items for a quick profit.

After you do not care much about experience, get an item called
the wallet. After the point where you charge up Marle's pendant,
go to the future and check the door behind the first gate you
exited towards the start of the game. Put the wallet on one of
your three party members. All your experience will be added to
the gold you get in the battles.

Go to 65,000,000 B.C. Upon arrival, go to the hunting grounds.
While you are there, kill the three groups of three frogs. They
give you two Fangs, Horns, and Feathers. Go to the trader and
give him three Fangs and Horns. This will give you one of Crono's
weapons, depending on how far you are in the game. Then, go to
any other time period with a market and sell the new item. It
is better to do the above many times before leaving to sell your
items so you can do so in mass quantities and save time climbing
the mountain.

Buy jerky from shop owner at the Café in the present (year
1000), then sell it to the girl in the Mayor's Manor in the year

Go to Leene's Square. As soon as you arrive, go east to the "Tent
of Horrors". Go in, then immediately exit. You will notice
that the racers have just started. Wait until they have lined
up again. Bet on the green ambler. He will win every time that
you do this. Once you get your 20 silver points, repeat the process
as many times as desired. When you want your money, go north and
find the man that exchanges 10 silver points for 50g. When you
think you have enough money, you can also spend silver points
in the "tent".

Tech points: When you get to Mt. Woe there will be a Rubble that
gives you one hundred tech points that keeps appearing over and
over. When you reach the first save point in Mt. Woe, go north
of that save point. There will be a chain leading to the right.
Cross through the chain and a Rubble will be there. Put the accessory
"Berserker" on a character. Fight the Rubble, defeat
it, then go south of the save point. Climb down the ladder to
go to another area, then go back to the Rubble and it will appear
again. Note: It is suggested you have Crono , any other character,
and Ayla in your group. Place the Berserker on Ayla, since she
will induce greater damage then any other character.

Go to the Cursed Woods in the Middle Ages (600 AD) and keep walking
until you get to a pink frog pacing back and forth across the
screen, just before you get to the entrance to Frog's house. Run
from the entrance to that frog to see a Nu walking away. Talk
to him he will say "Stop it you dog". While he is still
on the screen, run into an enemy and he will be stuck in the battle
field. You will get average experience but about 32 tech points.
You will get the same amount of tech points for fighting a Nu
in the Hunting Age (65,000,000 BC), but it only comes out at three
different points, only when it rains. Another place to fight Nus
are in Kajar (1,200 BC) after opening up three books having the
elements of water, wind, and fire (in that order). A door will
open and you will fight six Nus. You can only fight them once.
The Nu in the Cursed Forest is the fastest way to get tech points.
Information in this section was contributed by Jay House.
Experience and tech points: At the bottom of the Ocean Palace in 12,000 B.C. is
a save point guarded by a Jinn and a Barghest. Save and heal here,
then walk down into the blue elevator shaft-type room. Here, you
will encounter two Blue Scouts, two Scouters, and one Mage. Put
one Water caster, Frog or Marle, in your group anyone as the third
person. First, attack one of the Blue Scouts with Chrono, then
have your third person attack the same one. Next, have Marle/Frog
cast Water/Ice on the Blue Scout that has not been attacked --
this should kill it. Then, have your third person attack the remaining
Blue Scout. Hopefully this will kill it -- if not the fight will
take a little longer. If the last Blue Scout is dead, then have
Chrono cast Lighting 2 which will hopefully kill both of the Scouters
and do some damage to the Mage. You can finish off the Mage with
physical attacks. Note: The Mage may cast Lock, which disables
Tech attacks. This battle results in 1258 experience, 40 tech
points, 1550 gold, and 1 Lapis. After defeating them, walk out
the room and re-enter for the same fight.

Money, experience, and tech points: The following trick only works after/when you first
get Ayla. Start by going to the hunting ground in 65 million B.C.
Then, wait for it to rain and a Nu monster will appear in one
of the four corners of the hunting grounds -- most commonly the
upper two and the lower right. The Nu monster only has one attack
that bring its target down to one HP, so it is impossible to lose
to it. It also gives you 30 skill points. After each time you
kill the Nu monster, it will give you three Petals, Fangs, Horns,
and Feathers. After obtaining your desired amount, return to the
village to trade with the native man. To get the most cash out
of this, trade him Petals and Feathers for Stone Arms that sell
for 3,525 and Horns and Fangs for a Flint Edge that sells for
3,125. You only have to defeat the Nu monster ten times to receive
enough items for a little over 65,000.
Information in this section was contributed by Ben Rowlett.
Go to 65 million B.C., then go to the hunting grounds. Fight monsters
(especially Nu) until you have about 50 of every item (Petal,
Fang, Horn and Feather). Go to the trading hut, and talk to the
man that you trade with. He appears different from everyone else.
Trade all your Feathers and Petals for Stone Arms (worth the most),
and all your Horns and Fangs for Flint Edges (next most expensive).
Go to a market in 2300 A.D., 1000 A.D., or 600 A.D.. Sell all
your Stone Arms and Flint Edges. You will get a lot of money,
and get experience and tech points while fighting.

Before you get the Bike Key in 2300 A.D., go up to the old highway.
Fight the four robots to get 200 gil and a considerable amount
of experience. After you fight them, go up by the "jet bike"
and follow the path to the right. instead of continuing through
the area, an alarm will sound and four more robots (always the
same type) will appear and fight you. Repeat this as many times
as desired. If you get low on HP and MP, go back to the dome to
the south and use the Enertron.

Note: This trick takes lots of time, but is well worth it. To
get unlimited money, tech, and experience points, go to the Gene
Dome in 2300 A.D. where you fight Robos Mothers. As soon as you
enter the dome, Mother traps you and send you down a conveyer
belt, fighting enemies all the way. When you reach the end, go
through the door. To your right, you will see what looks like
a tab on the floor. Search it and you will be asked if you want
to enter the heating duct. Say "Yes" to return to the
entrance. You can then fight the same monsters again. Repeat this
as mahy times as desired.

Crisis Arm: Once you get Crono back, go to Geno Dome with Robo
Leading. Defeat Mother Brain there to receive the Crisis Arm,
along with the Terra Arm. The Crisis Arm is a very good weapon
despite what you may think. Its damage depends on the last digit
of your HP when it is below critical. For example, 10 HP does
0 damage and 19 HP does the most.

catch a Gold Rock instead of being hit. It invokes triple tech
Grand Dream.

Megalixers: When you are looking for the Rainbow Shell in the Giant's
Claw cave, you should find a cave that has two switches by the
door and one in the middle of the room. There should be a skull
that opens up into another small room. If you step on the switch
on the bottom right as you are walking in, you should encounter
two Fossil Apes. Have Ayla use Charm on each ape and you should
get a two Megalixers. If not, try using Charm while Ayla is equipped
with the Charm Top.

so much, then here are some topics to discuss, Nu!" The topics
are "Rainbow Shell", "Sunstone", "Magic
Tab", "Speed Tab", "Power Tab", and "Nu!".
Do this ten times and choose "Nu" every time. Nu will
get tired of it and give you three "Nu Tabs". When you
use them up, their effect are as follows:

Rainbow Shell: The Rainbow Shell is fairly easy to get. Walk and fight
your way through all the Dinos that lived after Lavos landed on
their home. After getting the Rainbow Shell to the King, go to
the Present and return to the castle. Some events will pass by
as a trial of the King is ongoin. Get the King's daughter in your
group and go to the court room. After the talking and such, go
to the basement, which is overrun by monsters. Get the Rainbow
Shell piece and return to the court. After awhile the man will
transform into Yakra XIII. Defeat him and later go back and take
the key on the floor. Look for a locked chest and find the real

Sun Stone: Have Magus join your party and have him learn the Black
Hole technique. Get into the fight with the "Son of Sun"
(in 2300 AD) and use Black Hole to actually kill the two flames
in front of the "Son of Sun". If it does not kill both
of them the first time, wait until he uses Roulette Shuffle and
use it again. You can now easily find the flame that hurts the
"Son of Sun".

To get the Sun Stone, you must go through several steps. First,
defeat the Sun of Son's in the future, 2300 AD. He is hiding in
the Sun Palace in the south. You need the Flying Epoch to reach
him. When defeated, he will give you a Moon Stone. Travel to 65,000,000
BC and venture to the Sun Keep. Leave the Moon Stone there. Go
to 1000 AD. The stone will be gone. Travel to the southern town
of Poore and enter the house in that has sparkles are coming out
of the roof. Talk to the Mayor -- the greedy father. He says he
has not heard of the moon stone. Go to one of the houses and talk
to the bartender. Buy the Jerky from him. Return to 600 AD and
go to the same house that the greedy father lived in. Talk to
the mother at the sink and give her the Jerky. She will reply
that she will teach her children to share. Go back to the same
house in 1000 AD. Talk to the former greedy father. He will say
someone left the stone here and give you the Moon Stone. Go back
to the Sun Keep in 1000 AD and leave the Moon Stone. Time travel
back to the future, 2300 AD, with Lucca in your party. Go to the
Sun Keep. The Sun Stone will be there and Lucca will make her
ultimate weapon, the Wondershot, with it. You will also get the
Sun Specs. If you have obtained the Rainbow Shell from Giant's
claw in 600 AD, go to the basement of the 1000 AD Castle. Give
Melchior the Sun Stone to get Chrono's Rainbow and the Prism Specs.

Black Rock (Marle, Lucca, Magus - Dark Eternal) Obtained in Zeal by opening the wind, water, and fire books
in the correct order to open a secret door behind the Nu in one
of the first two cities.
Blue Rock (Lucca, Robo, Magus - Omega Flare) Obtained in Giant's Claw. The chest is half hidden by a rock
wall nearby a door on the bottom of the screen.
Silver Rock (Robo, Frog, Ayla - Spin Strike) Obtained by talking to the Nu in the Laruba Ruins in 65 million
B.C. The Nu will not appear until the later stages of the game.
White Rock (Marle, Ayla, Lucca - Poyozo Dance) Obtained in Black Omen. The chest is half hidden in a corner
in the room with the line of Ruminators running through it. If
not found here, keep looking elsewhere else in the Omen.
Gold Rock: (Frog is only needed - Grand Dream) Obtained in the Denadoro Mountains. Later in the game, place
Frog as the leader of the party and go to the area where rocks
are thrown at you. Let Frog get hit by one and he will catch it
instead. To be able to do Grand Dream, you will need to go to
visit Cyrus at Hero's Grave so that the Masamune will power up.
Go to the Cursed Woods in the Middle Ages (600 AD) and keep walking
until you get to a pink frog pacing back and forth across the
screen, just before you get to the entrance to Frog's house. Run
from the entrance to that frog to see a Nu walking away. Talk
to him he will say "Stop it you dog". While he is still
on the screen, run into an enemy and he will be stuck in the battle
field. You will get average experience but about 32 tech points.
You will get the same amount of tech points for fighting a Nu
in the Hunting Age (65,000,000 BC), but it only comes out at three
different points, only when it rains. Another place to fight Nus
are in Kajar (1,200 BC) after opening up three books having the
elements of water, wind, and fire (in that order). A door will
open and you will fight six Nus. You can only fight them once.
The Nu in the Cursed Forest is the fastest way to get tech points.

There are several stones that show up as accessories are secrets
to gaining new Triple Techs. For every stone there are only three
people who can equip one. Those are the people you need to have
in your party to do it (Chrono cannot do any of the Triple Techs
gained by way of the stones). These Techs work like any of the
others except for the gold stone, for which you need the powered
up Masamune to be able to do the tech.

Get three of each stone: Use the following trick to get three of each stone
(black, blue, sliver, white). The game has an option to use the
data from the saved game in your new game (New Game+ option).
In time you will have all the desired stones. Note: This also
helps you keep any spells and levels all characters have gained
during the game, and to get more of any item that you normally
can only get one of. This also give you all the items in your
item slot.

Before Mt. Woe and after Terra Cave, there is a small cave with
Beasts in it, and a Mud Imp, Blue Beast, and Red Beast guarding
the chain to Mt. Woe. Before you fight the Mud Imp and Red and
Blue Beasts, fight the Beasts. Charm them with Ayla for some Rainbow
Helmets. You can Charm them repeatedly. After you have enough
to equip your party, you can continue to Charm them for more,
which you can sell for 8,000 G. After you defeat the Mud Imp and
companions, you cannot do this anymore. However, when you get
on the Mountain, you can Charm the Bantam Imps and Man Eaters
for an Alloy Blade for Chrono and a Pearl Edge for Frog. You can
Charm them continuously for many of these. Fill up to get 99 of
both, then go down to Terra Cave. Sell them until you have 999,999
G. Each Pearl Edge is worth 11,000 G and two Alloy Blades are
worth 21,000 G. Go back to the Mount, and Charm the Bantam Imps
and Man Eaters until you have 99 of both again, then repeat. Extra
money, items, and new weapons for Frog and Chrono.

Make Nu surrender items: In the prehistoric hunting grounds, if you catch a

Now, collect all the treasure chests here. Then, travel back to
600 A.D. and re-collect all the treasure chests. Since you collected
them in the future, they are still here in the past. You will
get two of all the rare items in the castle. This trick also works
with the other black boxes that are scattered around in 600 A.D.
and 1000 A.D. (in the grove in Guardia forest, various houses,
etc.)

This will turn off the machine and Lucca's mother will keep her

at the moonlight parade. She will be scolding her husband for
not dancing with her.

Be innocent at court: When you are captured and taken to court, there is
a way to get a not guilty verdict. First, never eat the old man's
lunch on the table in the Pink Sack. Second, locate the cat behind
the table next to the table with the old man's lunch. Talk to
the cat and it will follow you. Take it two screens to the right,
to the screen with the pop chugging contest. Talk to the little
girl there and she will thank you for bringing back her cat. Third,
when Marle is getting candy, do not move. Wait for her to buy
her candy. Finally, when you talk to the sword merchant and he
asks about her pendent, do not offer to sell it.

When you bump into Marle, talk to her. Get her pendant to give
to her. Do not talk in the Pink Lunch. Talk to the cat so it will
follow you to the little girl on the right side of the fair by
the table. If you talk to the weapon merchant, answer "No"
to selling Marle's pendent. When Marle is buying candy do not
move at all. Note: The councilor may still try, saying you are
to be executed in three days

Revive the Forest: Go to the Dark Ages and go to the Commons. There will
be a girl standing next to a pot with a plant in it. Tell her
to take care of it. After this, go back to 600 A.D. and go to
Friona's place. There will be a whirlpool in the sand. Enter it
and fight all the monsters. The Boss here is somewhat difficult
to defeat. First, attack the center using physical attacks. When
it is dead have Magnus or Frog cast a Water2 or Ice 2 to freeze
the monster. His Dex will fall, allowing you to get some good
hits with Robo's Shock or his multi-hit attack. After you hit
him, his Dex returns. Repeat this strategy and you will eventually
win. Leave to see Friona with Robo in your party and allow him
to stay. After this, go to the Present and go to Friona's shrine,
where you can get Robo back.
