{{nihongo|'''Manolia Cathedral'''|マノリア修道院|, Manoria Abbey}} is a location in {{CT}}. It appears in [[600 AD]] near [[Guardia Castle]] as an innocuous cathedral adjacent to a convent. Later, it is revealed to be a hideout for [[Fiend]]s conducting guerilla warfare on Guardia Castle. Manolia Cathedral is the first major dungeon. | |||
==Appearance== | |||
<p style="">Manolia Cathedral is identical in color to the buildings in its era, notably [[Guardia Castle]]. It has a red shingled roof, a steeple, and walls of light-colored stone. Inside, red carpets with gold floral embroidery line the floors. The walls in the halls are of dark stone. There are many statues of humanoid and gargoyle-like creatures scattered throughout. There are also collapsible staircases that link the main floor to a magazzini level.</p> | |||
= | <p style="">Foresets surround the enclosure where this cathedral resides and a lake sits peacefully behind. Nearby locations include Guardia Castle, [[Guardia Forest]], [[Truce]], and [[Truce Canyon]]. Unlike the trip to Guardia Castle, the player does not need to travel through a separate module to access this building; it can be accessed directly through the World Map.</p> | ||
==Story== | ==Story== | ||
If the player listens through the wall of the King's Bedroom in [[Guardia Castle]], it is revealed that the [[Chancellor]] is harboring the missing [[Queen Leene]] in a secret room hidden in the cathedral. A maid in the castle also describes the place as not being quite right. | |||
So [[Lucca ]]and [[Crono]] enter, hoping to save the queen, only to find pews full of nuns. If these nuns are spoken to, they describe Crono and Lucca as "delicious-looking humans", along with other devilish dialogue. | |||
A shimmer on the floor near the altar turns out to be the Queen's coral pin, an object she guards with her life. Immediately after this discovery, the nuns unveil themselves as [[Naga]]. After the player destroys them, another appears, slain immediately by an anthropomorphic frog, appropriately named [[Frog]]. The sword-slinging amphibian is guardian to Leene and asks the party to join him in his search for her. Lucca is terrified of him at first, but eventually agrees. By playing the organ on the lefthand wall, the player can access the rest of the cathedral. The proceeding halls are lined with [[Diablo]]s, Naga-ettes, Bats and other surprises. | |||
The | The Fiend [[Yakra]], disguised as the Chancellor of Guardia, is in control of the cathedral and it's monsterous inhabitants, and holds [[Queen Leene]] and the real chancellor captive there after kidnapping them. When [[Crono]], [[Lucca]] and [[Frog]] discover this, they defeat Yakra and set the prisoners free. | ||

Hidden [[Naga Bromide]] can be found through the door at the top of the left staircase. Search the set of drawers on the left and if you haven't beaten the dungeon yet, prepare for a fight. Later, the Naga Bromide can be exchanged for a [[Magic Capsule]]. | Hidden [[Naga Bromide]] can be found through the door at the top of the left staircase.

One room in the Cathedral contains a decoy [[Commander]], a decoy [[Leene]], and a decoy [[Chancellor]]. When spoke to, they claim [[Yakra]] is pleasant company and that there was never a kidnapping. They change into their true forms and attack when the player attempts to exit the room.

One contains a [[Guardian Bangle]], the other contains a [[Speed Belt]]. | ||
The cathedral is probably destroyed in the war amassed by [[Dalton]] who returns to the main timeline and builds an army in [[Porre]]. Or sometime soon thereafter, as its location has been overgrown by [[Guardia Forest]] in [[1000 AD]]. It is possible the cathedral could have been destroyed as a result of being tainted by [[Fiend]]s. | |||
