PrinceWatercress plays Chrono Trigger (Super NES) - Part 5 of 70


It's time to head to the Cathedral to find Queen Leene...and something sinister is afoot.



There's no other place to head to other than the cathedral, so head there.


When you enter the cathedral, talk to all four of the nuns. You'll notice that they act rather odd. You'll then see a twinkle on the floor at the front of the cathedral. If you press A while moving towards it, Lucca will notice it is Queen Leene's hairpin, which has Guardia's royal crest. The nuns will then approach you and turn into Naga-ettes.

The Naga-ettes will scratch at you and try to hit you with a Slow spell to slow your battle speed down. Coming into this battle with Fire Whirl is well-advised, as you can hit as many as three Naga-ettes with once with it and make the battle much easier.

Once you beat the Naga-ettes, another one will suddenly show up, but a mystery swordsman shows up and kills it. Crono and Lucca then notice that the swordsman looks like an anthropomorphic frog. Lucca admits she is not a fan of frogs, but agrees to the frog swordsman - who goes by the name Frog for now - helping them.

From here, you'll need to get deeper into the cathedral. To do that, walk into the organ in the upper-left corner and press A to play the organ and reveal a door.

While going through the first half of the cathedral, you'll find some armor and weapons for your party, such as the SteelSaber for Crono and the MaidenSuit for Lucca. Make sure you equip these because you're going to need them.

When you go through the door, you'll be in a chamber where you'll face a few new enemies. The Diablos will kick at you either from up close or from far away, and the Gnashers will try to, well, gnash and bite at you.

Further to the north of the more narrow passage, you'll meet the Gnasher, but you'll also see two doors to the wet, two more to the east and another door up ahead to the north. North leads to the next area, but if you check the doors to the sides, you'll find some things.

The upper-left door will lead to two soldiers who are trying to rescue Queen Leene, and you can find a Power Tab in the pot to the left. As for the lower-left door, you can find the MaidenSuit for Lucca, and if you press A at the desk drawers, you'll find the Naga-ette Bromide. Yep, it's a sexy picture of a Naga-ette (or something). If you do this after you rescue Queen Leene, you won't fight any monsters, but if you do it now, you'll fight three Henches. Use Fire Whirl if you can to absolutely destroy them, as a Hench can smack your around and even hit you so hard that you physically get moved back because of it.

The lower-right door is the first door you should enter on the east side. Here, you can talk to the monsters here without having to fight them, as they think you are monsters still in human disguise. When you talk to everyone, the Diablos in the room will head to the upper-right door. The upper-right door has a soldier, King Guardia XXI and Queen Leene, and if you talk to all of them and then try to leave the area, they'll turn into three Gnashers. Meanwhile, there is a passage to the east in this room, and it leads to a shrine to Magus. After the three Diablos and two Naga-ettes in the room pay tribute to Magus, you can open the chests to find a Speed Belt (which increases Speed by two) and a Defender (increases Stamina by two) before talking to the Diablos who is now in the middle to start a fight with all the monsters inside. It's an optional battle, but the experience and money are worth it.
