Clear the Forest
Once Crono's party arrives in the prehistoric Lost Sanctum, they find the entire village deserted. After looking around a bit, the party goes off into the forest to the north and clear it of monsters. Once they return, the Reptites inhabiting the village come out and reward the party with a Dragon Tear.
After clearing the forest in 65,000,000 B.C., they party can now enter the 600 A.D. Lost Sanctum, which had previously been overrun by monsters. Once the elder determines that the party members are the "heroes of legend" passed down in their tradition, and are once again employed to clear the Millennial Wood of monsters. The Reptites will yield a Megalixir when completed.
The Golden Hammer
Once the party clears the woods of monsters in Prehistory, a Reptite in the lower left part of the village requests the party to find the legendary "Golden Hammer." Another Reptite gives the party a hint that sprinkling a sapling with golden sand will cause it to become a golden tree. The party the departs to the Southern Glade to find some of the sand. After retrieving the golden sand, the party, as instructed, sprinkles it on a sapling at the end of the Millenial Wood. The party then departs for the Middle Ages to find the grown golden tree, but instead, they find the Goldhammer, and Ogan that presumably chopped down the tree and already made a Golden Hammer. The party goes on to defeat it and it surrenders the hammer, which is then given to the Reptite in prehistory for a reward.
