The geography of 600 A.D. is most similar to that of [[Present]]. These 2 time periods share a majority of major landmarks with only a few exceptions. 600 A.D. has the most places of interest of any time period in the entire game as it is central to many major plot events ([[Manolia Cathedral]], [[Denadoro Mountains]], [[Magus' Castle]]) as well as several side quests ([[Northern Ruins]], [[Sunken Desert]], [[Giant's Claw]]). It also possesses the most locations where enemies can be fought in the entire game.

=== 2nd Visit ===
=== 2nd Visit ===
The second visit to 600 A.D. comes after Crono and friends learn that [[Lavos]] has a direct relationship with Magus. They believe that Magus created Lavos and that defeating him will change the future downfall of the world by Lavos. The heroes find that [[Zenan Bridge]] has been fixed since their last visit and aid the knights of Guardia in defeating Magus' troops there. Afterwards, the heroes scale the [[Denadoro Mountains]] in search of the legendary [[Masamune]] which supposedly has the power to defeat Magus. However, upon reaching the summit, they are only able to retrieve a broken portion of the sword's blade. Upon visiting the [[Cursed Woods|Haunted Woods]], the heroes find Frog's home where he is staying in seclusion. Upon further inspection they find the hilt of the Masamune in one of this drawers. The hilt is inscribed with the word 'Melchior' a reference to its [[Melchior|forger of the same name]]. The heroes then leave 600 A.D. to visit Melchior and determine how the Masamune can be repaired.
