If you're going to be going through a game of Chrono Trigger and trying to pick up as many endings as possible, one thing you can do as soon as you reach the End of Time is take the bucket to battle through all of Lavos's outer forms, and once you go inside the shell a time gate will send you back to the End of Time where your game can proceed as usual. The best way to challenge Lavos to get one of the endings is normally through the right gate at the millennial fair. In general it's best to wait until the New Game + to try for the endings so you can have some of the best equipment in the game, it would require an incredible amount of leveling up without it. After you defeat the first form however, the rest of the battles proceed as usual.įor information on fighting Lavos, see Lavos' phases. Lavos will be much stronger than normal and unless you're in a New Game + you'll likely have no protection against chaos or other status ailments. The one other fight with Lavos you can get into is the one you're expected to lose, when Zeal commands Lavos to attack you when you reach the end of the Ocean Palace and before Crono dies. You will also have to fight through all of Lavos's forms with this method. Fighting through the Black Omen is necessary to activate the New Game +. You will find a time gate on the inside which will take you back to the end of time in case you want to do some more questing. Fight your way through the Black Omen and fight Lavos's outer shell after defeating Zeal.This is necessary for any of the main variations without the Epoch. You'll destroy his first form and skip directly past the outer shell. When the Epoch is able to fly, take it to 1999 A.D.A time gate will appear to take you back to the end of time after you beat the outer shell. This isn't strictly necessary for any of the endings, and you will have to battle through all of Lavos's "pre-forms" before you fight his first body.

There are basically four ways to challenge Lavos: A couple "mini-endings" can also be seen by losing to Lavos in a normal fight with him or losing to Magus. If you challenge Lavos after Crono's death and the Black Omen's rising, the ending will depend upon three factors: whether or not you saved Crono, whether or not you spared Magus, and whether or not you lost the Epoch by ramming it into Lavos, thus allowing for eight variations total. The ending you receive after you beat Lavos depends upon what point in the game you are at, or what the save file reads when you save your game. The Queen is Gone ( A Vanished Princess 600 A.D.
