Tips and Tricks

Winning Dash Rings and Magic Seals accessories at the Choras auction house.

Early on in the game, the player can choose to take the ferry to Choras and go to the auction house and get Mid-Ethers and rare accessories. Make sure to go to the future 2305 AD at the coliseum and fight 3 Nus for 8 BP and trade them for Elixirs and Megalixirs which can be sold for 10,000 gold and 25,000 gold. Then when you get the the auction house the auctioneer will usually present Mid-Ethers and will randomly present Dash Rings and Magic Seals accessories which you can win as much as you want. The Dash ring will help characters like Robo, Lucca has 6 speed points and Marle 8 speed points give them 3 speed points up to 9 speed points.

Quick and easy XP/battle points and money early in the game!

When you start the game, make sure you keep Crono, Lucca, Marle, and later on Robo, Magus, Glenn in your party at all times for the XP/AP/.

When you arrive in the future, exit the dome/lab and head over to the western continent and head to the coliseum.

Make sure Crono, Marle, and Lucca have their aoe elemental magic!

Ask to fight in a TEAM battle under the HARDEST difficulty!

You will fight 3 Nu's. The Nu's attacks have a chance to inflict a random damage type. The types are as follows: A) Current hp -1, in other words it leaves you with 1 hp. B) 1 Damage. C) 0 Damage.

Heal when your hp is 1 while inflicting aoe magic damage.

Revive dead characters.

When you win your battle against the 3 Nu's, make sure you exit the coliseum, or you will die against Spekkio if you choose to continue! And you will win 8 BP 60 Tech points and 496 exp every time.

Repeat for great and easy xp/ap/battle points and money.

You can also trade the BPs for elixirs and megaelixirs for money and sell them for 10,000 Gold and 25,000 Gold allowing you to buy supplies and win accessories including Magic Seal and Dash Rings at the Choras Auction house.

You can even use your battle points to buy the Rainbow sword 250 BPs for Crono and Dream Team accessory 160 BPs each, for an extra fighting edge. Also, you can equip the Dream Team on your character for an auto life making it useful for fighting the 3 Nus in hard mode coliseum if the player chooses to fight alone. The Dream Team can be useful if the enemies kill your ally and allows for an auto revive which is used one time per battle.

The strategy above isn't game breaking because the game is still epic hard.

Bugs and Glitches

• Character gets stuck between the treasure chest at the Choras Auction House: Warning Save your game before performing this glitch. Early on in the game, there is a game breaking glitch which can cause your character to get stuck between 2 people on the chest. To do this run right up to the treasure chest between 2 people and then your character will be trapped in the treasure chest. There is no way out and you'll have to reset your game from the last save point.
• Robo's tackle tech in Ocean Palace will lock the game: Warning Save your game before performing this glitch. Early on in the game, when the party has to investigate the Ocean Palace ruins, if you have Robo in your party, have him perform the Tackle tech. Sometimes the game will lock up at random which will freeze the game. There is no way out and you'll have to reset the game from the last save point. Do not perform the Tackle tech in the Ocean Palace ruins and you should be able to get through the game.
