Frozen Cliffs is a location within the Antiquity Dimensional Vortex, exclusive to Chrono Trigger (DS). It is the exclusive, set location of said vortex, reached after going through five random rooms generated from previous dungeons explored throughout the game. After getting through the Frozen Cliffs, the party will reach the Twilight Grotto (a checkpoint of sorts with a Save Point, and a Gate to go back to the era from which the player came), where they will fight the Alabaster Shade, the shadow clone of Marle, in the Castle Dreamscape, a sepia-filtered room reminiscent of her quarters in Guardia Castle. The player will be forced to include Marle in the party for this battle.
Strategy[edit | edit source]
The first part of the Frozen Cliffs is pretty straightforward: beat enemies, and go a bit off the path to find items. When the player reaches a slippery slope, they'll be transported to a room with various caves. Most of them will take the player back, forcing them to go through the first section again. The player should hold the d-pad up to not be dragged down automatically, and then hold it diagonally up in either direction to pick a path. The two "correct" caves are the uppermost ones to the left and the right. The player should pick one, explore throughoutly, backtrack by climbing the cliff to the right; then go through the second one, repeat the process, and follow the path to the far right to continue. The uppermost right cave leads to a room identical to the Winding Passage.
