Before you Play the Chrono Trigger game, you will definitely want to know these simple but useful tips and tricks. If you have any tips feel free to share with us!
Things to Know Before Playing
- There’s really no way to screw yourself permanently. Most of these tips are just about convenience.
- The Soda Guzzling game is a good way to build up a lot of Silver Points/money early, especially if you have a turbo controller. There’s a man in a tent over by Lucca’s sideshow that trades your Silver Points for Gil. You can then use the Gil to buy a Lode Sword from Melchior before you visit Lucca’s sideshow.
- When you get the ability to open the mysterious black boxes, go to them in the past first, say “no” to opening them, then go to the present and open them. You get an upgraded version of whatever was inside. You can then go back to past to open the black box. Although it should cause some kind of time paradox, you get to keep both the upgraded and original item.
- There are multiple sidequests in 12,000 BC that can be lost forever past a certain point in the story, so try to do those first.
- Directly after the Ocean Palace, put Ayla in your party.
- A certain enemy appears in several places in 65 Million BC when it rains and he drops great stuff to forge with.
- You’re going to get asked at one point to open one special chest; a chest containing a weapon, or a chest containing armor. Take the armor.
For the DS version only
After you beat the Ocean Palace, there is a new dungeon that opens up called the Lost Sanctum. It’s a pretty awful sidequest to be honest – the best rewards you get from it are right at the beginning and right at the end. So if you want to do it, do just the start, or all the way through. Be warned, the rewards completely break what’s already a fairly easy game right in half.
Other than that, it’s pretty much the same with an improved translation. The Dimensional Vortex part also helps bridge the gap between CT and CC.
