Walkthrough:Chrono Cross/Vivi Zidane02: Difference between revisions

Either choice you pick, Kid is saved either by your actions or sheer "coincidence", so don't feel to horrible if you prefer chose not to save her. Explore town, visiting the Shrine Maiden, and of course the element shop. (pro tip, buy several recover all elements and allocate a few in the lvl 1 slot of each character for free healing at the end of every fight) At the element shop, buy some Green and Yellow elements (including antidotes and braces) if saving Kid, and some Blue and White elements if continuing on the quest to fight Lynx. Before you leave, talk to the little girl who exchanges elements for materials for another piece of Skelly, and visit the bar to talk to the dwarves and get the [Green Tinkler] which allows you to use the strange plants in the Hydra Marshes without touching them. After all this, you'll have plenty of Copper to upgrade your arms and armor, so make sure you visit a good smithy or two for your stuff.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The marshes in Another World are highly poisonous, every step hurts, and you won't get far without the [Green Tinkler] from Guldove, if you have the Golem trap element, the centaurpedes will cast it occasionally when the field is pure yellow. Climb the branches on the Western side of the first area, beating up some Green monsters bullying a Beeba, getting something out of it eventually, and continue climbing, fighting as you go until you encounter a bunch of explorers, they'll give you a spare [Hazard Suit] so you don't take poison damage anymore, and let you go on your merry way. Continue to the northern edge where you meet a temperamental vine thing, use the [Green Tinkler] to make it bow in submission, and continue on the the Easternmost area for an explanation of why the forest is so poisonous, and to collect the [Life Sparkle] for Neo Fio.

A very poisonous place filled with lots of green and yellow monsters, the place is vibrant with lots of plant life. Almost all of the monster that are green are poisonous, most notably the bulbous plant that just sits there, it will always cause poison with it's tech skill before it's demise. explore the place, climbing the odd "branch" on the west side of the first area, continue forward encountering an upset Beeba beat him and his friends til he cries uncle, and get his [ Beeba Flute] out of good will, and continue on til you reach a "wide, open space", use the flute to summon the first boss, the Wingapede. This boss is green, so have enough yellow elements to smack it down, healing for his damage, and antidotes for its iconic poison gas tech. After annihilating the Wingapede, walk on the dangerous ground and fall "head on" madam Pentapus, knocking her out. Prepare with Red elements and make sure you're healed up for another boss fight, Madam Pentapus hates her dinner being stolen, but Razzly is worth it! The Pentapus has better physical attacks than the Wingapede, but it's elemental attacks are only effective against Red characters, so hack and slasher her to pieces. After the battle, depending on whether you want Razzly's lvl 7 Tech Skill or a happy ending for the dwarves, put her in your party for a happy ending, leave her out for the dwarves' destruction and lvl 7 tech skill. Continue through the marshes, encountering an ARMY of yellow dwarves, with a total of 3 different types, and a total of 8 dwarves. When fighting the dwarves, use either elements that target them all or pick a type of dwarf and focus fire, otherwise their triple tech skill is a nuisance against your entire party. After that, chase them down, and get ready for a 1 on 3 fight with the Hydra, the protector of the forest. The Hydra is a yellow element monster with high physical damage, uses elements like wave of fear (lowers all defense) and Hires (increases defense) to make it harder to kill with physical attacks, but it's not terribly hard as long as you keep your health up, make sure that no Green character has your revive, and smack it with Green elements and attacks til it falls. After the battle, if you don't have Razzly on your team, the Hydra dies and the Dwarves flee in terror and indignation. If you do have Razzly, she finds a baby Hydra within the dead one, so the forest will live on. Either way, the dwarves flee in terror. Afterwards, head back to Another World to give Kid her antidote!

If you didn't save Kid, instead of Korcha joining you with his boat, Macha joins your party instead, and Glenn will join shortly after arriving back in Termina. At this point you have total control over Korcha's prized boat, so you can sail anywhere. But whatever you do, don't go to Isle of the damned yet, and if you do, don't fight anything unless you want to see the GAME OVER screen. The monsters there are ridiculously powerful for this level, and the only thing worth grabbing is the more of Skellys' bones on the eastern side in a little bone cave thing. To continue the quest take the boat and head into the fog blocking Mt. Pyre.

As you enter the fog, you end up on a mysterious ghost ship, encountering several suits of armor, and pirates! After the pirates appear, you fight Polly, then get knocked out by Captain Fargo and tossed into the brig. During the night, a REAL ghost ship shows up, and tons of undead Black monsters infest the ship, namely Wraiths, Skeletons, and Dead Beats, their elements are moderately powerful, but their physical attacks hurt, so make sure you keep your health high as you travel across the ship. When you reach the galley, talk to Pip until its cornered to let it join your party and fulfill its dream to see the world. Pips' innate attribute is White, but it's form and element can change depending on what elements it casts and has cast upon it. Please check out Pips section for his evolutionary potential.

 

Head up and if you feel lucky, get "healed" by the pirate with the mysterious brew, save and prepare for a few waves of monsters followed by Dead Head. Dead Head is a Black attribute boss that favors status such as diminish (which cuts elemental effectiveness in half) and status effects with his Bad Breath tech skill, so keep at it with physical attacks and healing, he'll fall sooner or later. After watching the Dead Head fall into goop, Fargo rewards you with information about Mt. Pyre, a place to stay, and access to ship (monster free). If you want to avoid lots of damage and get the easiest summon available, go to Water Dragon Isle (Home World) and get the ice breath and Frog Prince* element from the Water Dragon. You gets lots of iron from these losers, so make sure you upgrade you're favorite characters equipment to Iron stuff to make things easier. I recommend picking up some trap elements of each type (especially Holy Light, get several of them for a particularly handy boss), trap elements will be explained at Mt. Pyre through the antics of the Shaker Bros. (look forward to it), but first, back to Home World.

Mt. Pyre is dangerous for one major reason, the lava everywhere, but before you freeze everything, check for chests in the fire, because if you miss them now, you'll never get them, so make sure you keep some capsules and tablets for some firewalking. After collecting the treasures interspersed through the lava areas, use [Ice Breath] to permanently freeze it, making it impossible to be burned again, continue fighting the hotdoggitys and cat burglars til you reach the Shaker Brothers again. This fight is a tutorial fight as usual, and teaches the power of trap elements, as shown by the example of Solts' black hole trap and Peppors' black hole element, traps are consumables and allow you to collect elements from monsters that cast it.

 

After knocking them senseless (Hit Peppor first, he's SUPER upset at Solt and will smack him for you), continue on, collecting stuff from lava til you hit the save, get your Blue stuff ready for your encounter with the little Red Dragon. He casts fire breath, which hurts for now, but mostly watch out for his physical attacks, keeping some healing on hand. After sparring with him, he lets ya go on, only to be stopped by the 3 Dragoons, Karsh, Marcy (who REALLY REALLY hates you for some reason) and Zoah. Pick one and stick with them, preferable Karsh, Marcy, then Zoah, because Karsh and Zoah have a combo tech, and Karsh loves his lvl 5 tech skill which hits everyone. Marcy uses weak physical attacks with strong elements, Zoah attacks hurt but he only has single target techs and elements. After beating them, Harle advises against entering Fort Dragonia (please ignore her), make sure you pick up a few tornado and iceberg trap elements from Marbule, along with the Holy Light traps, and a few free fall and inferno traps or you might regret it.

As you can tell, this is it, there's tons of bosses, lots of chests, and a lot of puzzles. The enemies in Fort Dragonia tend to be Yellow, Black, and Red, but make sure you have a smattering of everything and plenty of recovery stuff. After entering the large room with the four weird lines and circles, pick one, I'll put the puzzles and how to solve them in separate paragraphs.
