In this entry, we head into the Denadoro Mountains to find the Masamune. Along the way, we see the so-called hero whom everyone has been talking about.
There's nothing else to do and nowhere else to go, so let's head to the Denadoro Mountains to the north.
The Bellbirds will inflict Chaos on a single party member if you don't kill them in one hit, making them a bit of a threat even though you can most likely easily take them at this point.
The main enemies to watch out for are the Ogans and the Goblins. While the Goblins are pretty weak, the Ogans have increased offense and defense with their hammers. However, if you hit an Ogan with a fire spell, you'll burn their hammer down and turn them into a Goblin.
When you go up the ladder at the start, you'll see a boy with a shield running away from the mountain. You'll fight a Goblin, then you'll have to fight an Ogan.
The Free Lancers will hit a single party with a shuriken or with a sword, the latter occurring as a counter attack if you don't kill it in one hit.
Along the way, you'll have a Free Lancer throwing rocks at you. Be sure to run so you don't get hit by them.
Some of the enemy encounters on the cliff edges where you can see the horizon can only be triggered if you move into a very specific spot. These encounters are one-time only, but will net you some extra experience and tech points.
When you reach the large riverbank before the bridge, go down the waterfall from the left side so you can get the Silver Stud along with the Silver Earring. The Silver Stud will cut your MP usage by 25%, while the Silver Earring will increase your max HP by 50%.
After the bridge, you'll find a guy looking at the mountains across the horizon. If you keep talking to him, you'll get a Magic Tab.
Near the end, a Free Lancer keeps trying to stop from you reaching the cave. If you go after him, you can get an extra battle.
Inside the cave, you'll meet Masa and his brother Mune, who are really monsters disguised as humans. You'll have two battles against them as soon as you approach the Masamune. The first one are against Masa and Mune separately, who will encircle you with a whirlwind attack and will also attack with X Strike. If you focus all your attacks on one of them and use your most powerful attacks, you'll end this battle rather quickly.
After this battle, Masa and Mune will combine to become one giant, fearsome creature. Aside from a powerful chop and a tornado attack that will throw one of your party members up into the air and crashing into the ground, he also has an attack that involves storing energy and unleashing it on your entire party for a large amount of damage. If you use Crono's Slash when you get the message that Masa & Mune are storing energy, you will negate the attack. Keep using your most powerful attacks such as Antipode and keep your party healed up to get through this.
Once you beat Masa and Mune a second time, you'll get the Masamune...sort of. You'll get the Bent Sword, which is the blade of the Masamune. You'll also be able to step into the light and ride the wind to the base of the mountain, which allows you to easily leave.
Head to Tata's House in Porre Village and talk to the boy. You'll find out that the boy is Tata and the one that everyone is calling the hero. He will tell you that Frog dropped it in a cafe, and when he picked it up, everyone started calling him the hero and he could not bear to get rid of it. After telling you that he is no hero, he hands the Hero Medal to you.
From here, head back to the Cursed Woods.
At this point in the game, Nu can appear in the Cursed Woods. To fight him, you'll need to run into the T'Pole just before the bush that leads to Frog's House. If you can do that before Nu flees into the trees, Nu will be in the next battle, and you can beat him up like you did in the Hunting Range in prehistoric times for a ton of experience and tech points.
When you head back to Frog's House and talk to Frog, Frog will be surprised that you have the Hero Medal. He will then tell you that he cannot do anything against Magus and that while the Masamune is required to fight him, he has no right to wield it. He will then walk away from the basket that he has been standing in front of, and if you walk up to it and open it, you'll get the Bent Hilt. When you do, you'll notice that Melchior's name is on the Masamune. It seems it is time to head back to Medina Village to have a chat with Melchior.
If you talk to Frog again, he will tell you that there is not a single person who can repair the Masamune, but if there is one thing to know about this game, is that if there is a will, there is a way...
