********************* *Chrono Cross * *Secrets and Extras * ********************* by Efrain Gutierrez (Ogtwotone@aol.com) v1.01 12/19 - updates here and there Disclaimer: Be warned that some major spoilers are contained within. This guide was meant to help out those who are a bit frustrated with not knowing how to get certain items and characters. Also, some item and character names might differ from your interpretation, but I have been studying Japanese for some time now and I do feel that I'm qualified enough to make an educated guess as to how to pronounce certain things. ********************* Contents * ********************* I. Characters II. Lv.7 special skills III. New Windows IV. Misc. ********************* Characters * ********************* 1. Poshul(ポシュル) - Give him the bone(ヘケランの骨) you found in the bar. 2. Rena(レナ) - Refuse to let Kid join during the first Karsh(カーシュ) fight. 3. Lucky Dan(ラッキーダン) - Give the shark tooth talisman(サメの歯のお守り) to the kid in the basement where Lucky Dan is. 4. Glenn(グレン) - Opt not to save Kid and then choose テルミナで仲間に. 5. Mamacha(ママチャ) - Same as Glenn. 6. Improved Seed Fio(改良種フィオ) - Seriously. Thats what it means. Anyway, go to the pond in the top most floor of Snake Bone Mansion(蛇骨館) and use the Sparkle of Life(生命の輝き) (the pretty pink flower) you found in the Hidora swamp. 7. Luciana(ルチアナ) - After the event with Kid go back to Snake-Bone Mansion and talk to her once by the pond and again in her lab. 8. Tsumaru(ツマル) - Unlock the cage in Luciana's lab and then catch him on Farga's ship. 9. Doc(ドク) - Opt not to save Kid and choose 治った後で仲間に. 10.Mel (メル) - After the event with Kid and after you catch Mel for stealing Kid's elements go back and talk to her with Kid in your party. 11.Kinoko(キノコ) - Go to Shadow-Cut Forest(影切りの森) in "Home" and in the water way leading to Snake-Bone Mansion scare a little monster into a hole in the wall and get a mushroom item(forgot the name, sorry) and take it back to the guy in the cave under the waterfall. 12.Star Child(星の子) - He's important because the game can't proceed unless he's acquired. Go to the Moon Sea(海月海) in "Home" and get the Star Fragment. Then go to Tenryu Island(天龍の島) and defeat a rather large Star Child. 13.Snef(スネフ) - talk to him after he reverts you back to your normal form. 14.Janice(ジャネス) - beat her 3 times in the Zelbess Grand Slam (easier said than done). 15.Skull(スカール) - Collect all of his bone fragments and after he's complete go meet him at his home in Termina(Another). 16.Orlha(オルハ) - defeat her in battle in Gardov(ガルドーブ) then go talk to her at the bar and you'll receive the Blue Stone Brooch(タト、、・ヨ・。シ・チ). When Serge is reverted back to human form go back to the bar and show her the brooch. 17.Gyadaran(ギャダラン) - Defeat him in Snake-Bone Mansion. 18.Husband Kabu(カブ夫) - once again I kid you not. This one is rather strange. I've heard that Kabu can be acquired earlier in the game but I havent been able to until after I've gotten Lucca's ice gun. In the burned down Solitary Hut(隠者小屋) there痴 a bald patch of earth that reacts when you step on it. The thing is that you have to find a way to cool down the ground and the only way I've found is by using the ice gun there. So, anyway once you've done that go "Home" and use Poshul to pull out Kabu. 19.Miki(ミキ) - damn she's cute. Talk to her on the Zelbess after Slash's concert. 20.Dragon Child(龍の子) - Put the Big egg in the middle incubator. well that's it for hard to get characters. I know there's plenty more but i ain't gotten them yet! ********************* Lv.7 Special Skills * ********************* A lot of characters learn their Level 7 special skills on their own and don't need to be acquired through other methods. But here are the ones that you do need to go out and look for. Note: for most of these events to take place the characters themselves must be in your party unless otherwise stated. 1. Kid - During the Lucca's house event enter L2・△・L2・△ on the machine in the entrance. 2.

The Dario event You can do this little side quest as soon as you recruit Lidele and Karsh. If you want to do the whole thing in order then Go to Snake-Bone Mansion and take the right path(where the Golem used to be) and place all the statues in the slots. Take the Chest from behind. The message inside is from Sugar and Salton to Karsh. Go to Dead-Man's Island and fight sugar and salton. When its over you should have Dario's mother's pendant. Go "Home" and to the tiny secluded Island at the top right corner of the main continent(there should be yellow smoke coming from it) go inside and talk to Dario and prepare for a pain in the ass fight. I'm sure y'all can take it from here. II. Slash's Concert After you've recruited Farga, take him and go to the Zelbess(Home) and talk to that Farga. Enjoy the show. III. "Liberating" Mabure After Slash's concert go to Mabure and kill all the ghost monsters. IV. The Water Breath(ソ螟ホツゥ) When you first get to the Fire Dragon's cave you notice that the magma lowers your HP. To counter act that you need the Water Breath. To get it go to Aruni(Home) and talk to the old man on the pier. He'll take you the Water Dragon Island and from there simply proceed forward. Its nothing terribly hard. When you get to the Water Dragon he'll give you the Water Breath as well as the G-Frog summon. V. Prism Weapons After liberating Mabure go to the Black Dragon's cave and buy the master hammer from the guy on the left. Take Zappa and go to Termina(Another) and talk to that Zappa. (be sure and equip the master hammer to Zappa before hand). Good luck finding the damn items needed to make those friggin things. VI. Getting Janice made easy It is very tough winning 3 in a row with the selection you're given so heres the lazy man's way: If you don't mind waiting a bit, wait until you get an item called (ウミ、ィ、・ト・ワ) I can't remember where I got it but I'm sure it's part of the main quest. Equip it on Spriggan (スプリガン) and whenever you fight make sure that Spriggan delivers the final blow and he will add that enemy's form to his Style Copy skill. A good place to do this is the end of time lookin' place. Some really good ones to get are all the robots from Chronopolis because of their high HP and kick ass moves. As soon as you have enough strong monsters go and kick that little bunny's butt. VII. Spriggan's home dimension To get back to Spriggan's home dimension just go to the second screen in the Hidora swamp(Home) and find the warp. To get back from there examine the Bird Bath type thing in Spriggan's house. VIII. The Chrono Cross To get the Chrono Cross go to Dragon Falls(Another) and use the two blue crystals pieces. As to what exactly the Chrono Cross does? Your guess is as good as mine. IX. Jinjiruks(・ク・・ク・・ッ・ケ) It has a stupid name but there's no doubt about it...this bastard is hard. This thing is like the Omega Weapon of Chrono Cross. Well if you're feeling lucky he'll be in Earth Dragon Island(士龍の島)(Another) as soon as you Defeat all 6 Dragons.If you hit him with any hard magic he'll counter with Earthquake +and+ Thunder Ballet, so be sure and bring plenty of heal winds and recovers and as many revives as you can. If you go to Mabure(Home) after you liberate it and talk to the little blue guy in the front he'll give you an item called "Return" (it revives an ally with full HP and status) its very useful. Whatever you do DO NOT BRING A GREEN MAGIC USER. After much healing, and very little magic use it should give up and you'll get an item called Sun Glasses(ツタヘロ、ホ、皃ャ、ヘ). It's actually a cool little item. Equiping it to a character will raise your entire party's strength by a reasonable amount. X. Name Changing You can change you character's names by talking to the BeachBoy in the secret room where the Epoch is under the library in Snake-Bone Mansion. XI. Combos Finding these things is no easy task. Here are some I've found: White: 1.真龍剣 - Radius(Lv.7) + Jakotsu(Lv.5) 2.ミックスデルタ - Serge(Lv.5) + Rena(Lv.7) + Lazlie(Lv.7) (very cool) Green: 1.ドラゴンブロー - Zoa(Lv.7) + Karsh(Lv.3) 2.カブファイナル - Kabu(Lv.7) + Fio(Lv.7) Red: 1.エックス斬り - Serge(Lv.3) + Glenn(Lv.3) 2.フラメンコ - Miki(Lv.7) + Slash(Lv.7) 3.Wスティール - Mel(Lv.3) + Kid(Lv.3) Yellow:; 1.ドラゴンライド - Lia(Lv.7) + Dragon Child(Lv.7) Blue: 1.ゼット斬り - Serge(Lv.7) + Kid(Lv.5) + Soy Sauce(ダッシュ斬り) note: This is a very powerful attack but you have to beat the game at least once to get it. With New Game+ go to the End of Time place and bring Spriggan (equiped with the ウミ、ィ、・ト・ワ). The back room will now be open. Go in and fight Soy Sauce, Vinegar and Mayonaise. You can add them to Spriggan's Style Copy if he delivers the final blow. Black: 1.ダークスパーク - Gyaradan(Lv.7) + Ishito(Lv.7) 2.ソードストーム - Alf(Lv.5) + Snef(Lv.7) Well that's totally it for now...lemme know what you think...peace. ******************** Credits * ******************** -All names and all the other crap is all property of SquareSoft. -Props to Ohshima-sama for help on combos and the Lv.7 skills.
