Gate Key: Difference between revisions

Lucca explains that the device does not itself allow the party to time-travel. Instead, the Gate Key stabalizes pre-existing temporal anomalies, creating the temporary passages that the party uses to cross from one era to the next. The exact manner that Lucca achieves this technological wonder is never clearly explained; however, it is possible that Lucca's work on the [[Telepod]] gave her insight into the science of dimensional and temporal teleportation. The Gate Key is arguably the most powerful of Lucca's inventions.

During the events in [[Prehistory]] surrounding the party's search for the [[Dreamstone]], the Gate Key is lost, leaving the party stranded until it is recovered. After the great feast which won Crono the rare red mineral, [[Kino]], mate of [[Ayla]], stole the device while the party slept. Hunting him down, they discover him in the[[ Forest Maze]], moping. It is learned that Kino stole the device out of jealousy for the attention his mate showed Crono, but the device was stolen from him by the [[Reptite]]s.

 

In one of ''Chrono Trigger''''s many [[List of Chrono Trigger endings|endings]], if the [[Epoch]] has been destroyed, the party leaves [[Present]] using the Gate Key.
