PrinceWatercress plays Chrono Trigger (Super NES) - Part 34 of 70


In this video, we try to stop Queen Zeal, but it ends up bringing the absolute downfall of the kingdom of magic and the floating continent. Also, a prophecy comes true...



When you go through the door south of the save point, you'll find the elevator. You'll have to fight some monsters before you can use it, then you'll have to go up to the switch on the left (the one that's sparkling) to take it back up. You'll have to fight even more monsters before you can finally reach the Magic Tab on the wall mentioned in the last video. Once you do that, don't go back through the door to the north; instead, take the elevator all the way down with the switch on the right so you don't have to go down all those stairs (and fight those monsters) again.

In the next area, you'll need to enter the two doorways to the sides, beat the Scouters and press A to flip the switch on the back wall. When you flip both switches, you can then go to the button across from the entrance to this area and take it downwards to an Elixir and another save point.

In the next room, you'll encounter Dalton. Dalton will not be pleased that you made it all the way here, and from here, you'll face the Golem Twins, which is basically two Golems. Fight them like you did the singular Golem in the throne room, and use a multi-target Fire spell at the start of the battle to make sure they attack with weak attacks after the start of the battle. From there, keep hitting them both with magic. Once again, don't use physical attacks unless you want double the Iron Orbs and double the trouble.

After the battle, Dalton will retreat, citing that he does not want to die before he becomes immortal, then you'll be able to move forth towards the Mammon Machine. After talking to a Nu to get out of the way, you'll encounter Queen Zeal, who has Schala and the prophet with her. Crono will throw the Ruby Knife at the Mammon Machine in an attempt to disrupt the queen's plans, and the knife turns into the Masamune. Unfortunately, Lavos awakens.

At this point, Lavos will completely annihilate you. Thankfully, losing this fight does not lead to a game over. After your party is wiped out, the prophet reveals who he really is: Magus, who summoned Lavos in 600 A.D. in order to destroy it and get revenge over what happened in this era. Unfortunately, even Magus himself is felled as Schala pleads in vain for her mother to stop.

From here, the only way to stop Lavos is to sacrifice yourself. Crono will eventually get up, and you'll have to walk up to Lavos and talk to it with A. Lavos will utterly destroy Crono, and Janus' prophecy comes true. Afterwards, everyone else - minus the queen - teleports back to the Ocean Palace, and Schala teleports Magus and the other members of your party to safety.

After this, Lavos' power shoots upwards into the heavens and blasts through the sky continent, completely destroying the Kingdom of Zeal and bringing the kingdom of magic to a violent end. The falling pieces of the continent are so big that they create tidal waves and flood the earth when they land, leaving most of the world underwater and leaving few survivors.


You'll then end up in the last remaining bit of land left due to the cataclysm caused by Lavos. You'll wake up in a makeshift hut, and the elder of the Earthbound Ones will wake you up. Sadly, Crono is nowhere to be found, and Epoch is behind the trees where you cannot get to it. The elder will tell you that few people survived, and that he will meet you in the nearby commons. From here, you can completely customize the order of your party and put anyone in it that you want.
