PrinceWatercress plays Chrono Trigger (Super NES) - Part 16 of 70


Our exploration of the southern continent in the Middle Ages shows us an old town that doesn't exist in the present day and reunites us with Frog.



In the southern continent, there are a ton of places you can go to.

At the residence on the north end of Dorino Village, you can talk to the old man more than once if you have the Naga-ette Bromide from the Cathedral (which you can still get if you haven't already). He will notice the Bromide, and if you give it to him, you can open the dresser to get a Magic Tab.

At the Dorino Inn, you'll find out that the enemies with hammers in the nearby Denadoro Mountains can be disarmed if you use Fire magic on them to burn their hammers. You'll also find out that the hero that everyone is talking about is in Porre Village to the south.

If you go to the Elder's House in Dorino, the town chief will be talking to Toma, telling him to find the mythical Rainbow Shell. Toma will head to the Inn, and if you talk to him there and pay his tab, you'll find out that some creepy, dangerous frogs have taken over the forest to the south.

Talking to the chief afterwards will lead to learning that the Rainbow Shell allows for the creation of some reflective armor.

On the north end of the southern continent is the Denadoro Mountain, which we'll head to later. At the eastern peninsula is the Magic Cave, and while we can go there, we can't do anything there yet. Between Dorino, the mountains and the cave is Fiona's Villa, where Fiona is waiting for her husband Marcos to come back from the war so she can work on saving the forest around her home. You can find two Mid Ethers in the nearby chests.

The market in Dorino has the usual healing items, but the market in Porre to the south has Gold Suit and Berets, so be ready to buy those for whoever needs them and sell off your old armor.

At the Elder's House in Porre, the woman at the counter will be wanting some Jerky. Keep her in mind for later. You'll also find out from the village chief that the Magic Cave lies under a mountain east of Denadoro, but you won't be able to go in there for a little while.

Tata's House is at the south end, and you'll find out that some kid is in possession of the Hero's Medal there.

If you head to the Cafe, you'll find Toma again. Pay his tab, and you'll find out that he has found out the Rainbow Shell is on an island, but he has no idea which island. Meanwhile, he has spent all of the money that the chief of Dorino Village has given him. Meanwhile, the old man at the far right will tell you that Frog has been here.


Northwest of Porre is the Cursed Woods. The Gnawers are more powerful versions of the Gnashers from the Cathedral, while the T'Poles are frog enemies that can hit you with a rain attack and counterattack by trying to flatten you if your attack doesn't kill them.

Interestingly, counterattacks cannot trigger counterattacks, so if anyone is equipped with the Rage Band, they won't get a free strike in if they're hit with the T'Pole counterattack.

Along the way to the green bush to the north, you can find a Mid Tonic and a Shelter. You'll eventually see the green bush at the north end shaking, and if you walk into it from the north end, you'll find Frog's house. Frog will show up happy to see you, but when you talk to him, he will find out that the king has been injured. Frog, once again having confidence issues much like he did after he left your party the first time, will start having confidence issues again, feeling that he can do nothing for the king and that he is no hero. You're done here...for now.
