The '''Black Dragon''' is a boss appearing in {{CC}}. Residing in [[Another World]]'s [[Marbule]], the Black Dragon is one of the six [[Dragon God]]s that [[Serge]] and his companions need to battle to recover the Dragon Relics in order to pass through the Pearly Gates and enter the [[Sea of Eden]], confront [[Lynx]], and re-ensoul Serge in his original body. Obviously, the Black Dragon bears the [[Black Relic]] needed for this purpose. | The '''Black Dragon''' is a boss appearing in {{CC}}.

In ''Chrono Cross'', using [[Fargo]]'s level three [[tech]], [[Pillage]] on the Dragon Gods is the only way to obtain such items. Because of their rarity and usefulness, it is advisable to always bring Fargo along for these battles, as he is the only party member capable of stealing at this point in the game. | ||

It is also possible to obtain the Black Relic without fighting the Black Dragon at all. If the dragon is approached in [[Another World]]'s [[Marbule]], the dragon is sleeping. Go up to it and press X and the player will simply obtain the Black Relic. To fight him, the Dragon must first be woken up by cleansing [[Home World]]'s Marbule as part of a lengthy sequence involving the [[Magical Dreamer]]s. To do so, the [[Song of Marbule]] must be obtained from the [[Sage of Marbule|sage]], and performed by [[Nikki]] and [[Miki]]. | It is also possible to obtain the Black Relic without fighting the Black Dragon at all.

The Black Dragon fight can also be avoided by bringing a party with nothing but [[demi-human]]s. However, avoiding the battle is inadvisable as the party will permanently lose one Star-Level that cannot be re-obtained through optional boss battles, causing a noticeably lower level of stats as the players reach end-game. Additionally, the ultra-rare Black Plate [[List of Chrono Cross accessories|accessory]] cannot be obtained through any other method in the game, and because it can absorb Black elements, it is incredibly useful. However, if this option is tantalizing to players, bring Lynx and two other Demi-humans to avoid the fight and have the Black Dragon willingly relinquish the Black Dragon Relic without conflict. At this point in the game, possible party members that can be brought along to coax this scenario are: [[Irenes]], [[Sprigg]], [[Janice]], and [[Razzly]]. Half-demi-humans such as [[Nikki]] and [[Marcy]] will not allow this option. Although technically an extra-terrestrial and not a Demi-human, the game's coding does recognize [[Starky]] as a Demi-human. Bringing him along will elicit the option to avoid a battle with the Black Dragon. | The Black Dragon fight can also be avoided by bringing a party with nothing but [[demi-human]]s.

Note that bringing two demi-humans (this includes Starky for the aforementioned reasons) along to Marbule in Another World, *before* the island has been cleansed in Home World (which awakens the Black Dragon) and talking to the town's greeter will reward the player with the [[Valencian Cloth]] text-box [[frame]]. This frame cannot be acquired after the Black Dragon has been awoken. | |||
