Title: Lynx in Home World
Post by: fxar99 on September 17, 2005, 05:23:28 pm
I'm with Lynx in Home World and have recruited a few characters. What must I do next?

I'm not exactly sure how detailed of a reply you want, so for now I recommend a trip to Viper Manor. If you've done that already, then head for Marbule.

You need to get the boat from Norris in Viper Manor, if memory serves...

Sorry, didn't use many details. I have Norris (from Viper Manor) and also Starky, Radius and other guys, the boat and have visited Fort Dragonia in Home World (but found nothing special). I've been to Marbule and other towns but still nothing special happens. What now?
Title: Lynx in Home World

Ah, ok. I think I know where you are.

Have you been to Marbule and spent the night there? If not, do so, and things pretty much take themselves off from there

(If you don't know where to go after the sequence, you go to the S.S. Zelbess. But you need to stay the night in Marbule first.)

Huh? Marbule is the town of the demi-humans, right? Is there an inn or something to spend the night? Anyway, I'll try. Thanks  :D

im on my second run of the game sincei bought it years ago; i just got past that point. The town marbule there is a room at the very begining where you can take a nap. Further in town Toma's Decendant will mention fargo's ship and the "sage" so just find his ship and try an find the sage.

after you do some gambeling which you cant win cause fargo is a fuggin cheater go to the magic show twice to become kittie cats and then go to the inn. go get decatted and confront fargo you now have access to the area of the ship where the sage is.

...no. What are you talking about? I never forgot to stay the night in Marbule...

And anyways, I'm in the middle of my second playthrough and am NOT missing the Black Dragon this time (I assume that's what you're referring too =P.)

I already passed this point. Thanks for writing all this anyway...

 Now, the next question - not necessary yet, but I'm curious. If the (1) Red Dragon is in Pyre Mountain, the (2) Black Dragon in Marbule (that was the most tough :D), the (3) Blue Dragon at the Isle where the fairies live, the (4) Earth Dragon north, inside the moving sand, the (5) Sky Dragon on the top of his island, is the (6) Green Dragon in any of the islands around, or do I have to do something else before I manage to find him?  :shock:  I suspect he is in the Dead Sea or something... So, please, answer me with this:
A - He is hiding normally like the other dragons.
B - He is in the Dead Sea or Fort Dragonia or another special place.
C - He doesn't exist or there is a special quest before finding him.
Don't tell me what's going to happen after finding him, though :P

You have to go to the Hydra Marshes. It isn't there, but you have to go there first.

Thanks!  :lol:

I hope I haven't completed 50% of the game yet. Damn, it's much, much better than Trigger (flame, flame!)...  :D
Title: Lynx in Home World
Post by: Kazuki on September 20, 2005, 04:48:16 pm
Flame? Not at all! I applaud your uniqueness  :D . I don't know if I enjoyed it more than Chrono Trigger though...possibly about the same. They're both great games.

I think you may be at the 50-60% mark, since Disk 2 isn't long at all, but I don't know where you are specifically, so....
Title: Lynx in Home World
Post by: fxar99 on September 21, 2005, 01:42:13 pm
Yeah, Trigger had a very easy to understand but still complicated enough plot which made it great. Cross has a style that makes you feel it is a dream (and the music creates a nice atmosphere) which is closer to the style I like.  :)

I agree that the setting does give a successful, enigmatic, and dreamlike quality.

Now, next question!

I have the blessings of all 6 Dragon Gods, I have all the characters I've met, but... From what I know, Steena in Home World should give me the Dragon Tear, or I should find it (Tear of Hate + Tear of Love?) from Fort Dragonia. However, there's nothing in Fort Dragonia, except Draggy. And Steena in Another World doesn't have the Dragon Tear, while I can't access her tower in Home World.

Help! I don't want to face the nightmare of Chrono Trigger. It took me months to complete, because I couldn't go further at some points. I want to complete Chrono Cross this year...  :lol: (Yeah, I know, I'm too bad for RPG player.)
Title: Lynx in Home World
Post by: Solidstar on September 30, 2005, 04:30:31 pm
From what I remember, go to Steena in Home World (I think it's home) and she'll give you the dragon tear.  Then take it to Fort Dragonia in Another and go to where you and Lynx had switched bodies.  You'll get your old body back and the Tear of Love.  That is, if you do have the blessings of all 6 dragons.
Title: Lynx in Home World
Post by: fxar99 on October 01, 2005, 03:53:58 pm
Thanks for the tip, but I found what was wrong: I didn't show that key item exactly in front of Direa, so nothing happened.

Anyway, when I found what was wrong, I went to Fort Dragonia, to the Sea of Eden, to Chronopolis and to Terra Tower. However, it seems that I'll stay there forever, because that Gravitor thing ****s me every time I get near. I think I'll start the game over and steal a Black Plate or something...  :cry:
Title: Lynx in Home World
Post by: Kazuki on October 01, 2005, 05:41:32 pm
Hmm...I never really had any trouble with any of the Terra bosses. Not to insult your intelligence or anything, but have you tried in what is in my mind the flawless strategy of two people healing, one person attacking? You probably know that strategy already, though it took me a while in CC to get fully adjusted to that concept.

No! Never just start over! Or you'll end up like me! :shock:

Aren't your "start overs" forced, though?

And yes, what a horrible fate indeed to end up like Nightmare  :lol: .

I kid.

Well, I thought I had a good team - I defeated Fate with the first time, in 7 minutes without losing - this is not a joke. But Gravitor kills Serge with his first attack (you know, OmegaBlack or something, causing about 600-800 damage, I don't remember). Then, he kills Kid with a few other attacks, before she even manages to load elements. Viper is the only one who resists, but he can't do anything alone...  :cry: Sigh...
Title: Lynx in Home World
Post by: Kazuki on October 01, 2005, 06:42:37 pm
I believe you about FATE....she was a joke.

Hmm...so every time you fight him, he gets the drop? I just fought him on my New Game +, and I went first...curious. Well, the only thing I can suggest is possibly trying to pull of a diminish element before he attacks (I.e I suggest Grobyc in your party - It generally helps if one person is not affected too badly by the spells.)
Title: !
Post by: fxar99 on October 01, 2005, 06:52:36 pm
About Fate... I finally downloaded a walkthrough from GamesFAQ. I read that the battle with Fate was the hardest of all in the game. How couldn't I believe it? When Fate attacked me, my computer rebooted (****ing plug-ins!). But, anyway, when the battle began, I was so scared that I released Ultra Novas and Saints and stuff... :P

About Black characters, I'll try... A serious problem is that I don't have many Black Elements - imagine that I defeated the white Terra boss with physical attacks (Serge's weapon is better than his elements  :lol: ). I hope I manage to do something...
Title: Lynx in Home World
Post by: Kazuki on October 01, 2005, 06:56:27 pm
Yeah...almost all of Chrono Cross's GameFAQs faqs are complete BS when it comes to enemy stats/info.

Just curious, did you defeat Dario?
Title: Lynx in Home World
Post by: fxar99 on October 01, 2005, 07:00:48 pm
Dario... Hmmm... No. I think it's an optional battle or something, right? I didn't even fight the Black Dragon  :lol: .
Title: Lynx in Home World
Post by: Kazuki on October 01, 2005, 07:09:32 pm
Wait...how do you have Kid if you didn't beat Dario? I thought it was nescessary to beat Dario, get the Mastermune, and take it to Kid to revive her.

I never fought the black dragon until my third playthrough...kept missing it >_>.

You can use the Chrono Cross
Title: Lynx in Home World
Post by: fxar99 on October 01, 2005, 08:09:32 pm
Yes, it's the Lucca's Orphanage sidequest. It features Kid as ...kid being saved by Serge. It's very touching...

I was probably lucky that I fought some silly Lavaboys instead of fighting Dario, right?  :lol:
Title: Lynx in Home World
Post by: Kazuki on October 01, 2005, 08:22:28 pm
I suggest you do fight Dario...If you win, you get the mastermune which would help alot (I assume you're using the stone swallow.) Although, getting down from Terra tower and up again would be a bitch I can imagine.
Title: Lynx in Home World
Post by: Solidstar on October 03, 2005, 12:33:09 am
Yeah it is, but you can avoid most battles, so it's not too bad.  I actually ended up doing that my first time through... man, I was so unprepared... but yeah, I'd definitely say go and fight Dario and get the Mastermune.  It's a pain in the butt to get, but it's totally worth it.
Title: Lynx in Home World
Post by: fxar99 on October 03, 2005, 03:18:42 pm
Completed! The TimeDevourer was really hard, but ok. Great ending, though.  :lol:
Title: Lynx in Home World
Post by: Kazuki on October 03, 2005, 06:09:21 pm
Hmm...really? I know a strategy against him that works every single time, and if used correctly will suspend his element use for good (well, at least enough time to build up enough power for the Chrono Cross.)

Anyways...congratulations on your hard-earned completion  :D . Now go back through and get Dreamer's Sarong's for each character, which makes for an amazingly easy game (not that it's hard without it...but starting off with level 8 power as soon as you start the battle... :wink: )
Title: Lynx in Home World
Post by: Solidstar on October 04, 2005, 11:44:37 am
Which ending did you get?  Did you use the Chrono Cross or deplete all HP?  Just curious.
Title: Lynx in Home World
Post by: fxar99 on October 06, 2005, 07:18:58 am
I used the Chrono Cross.

Thank you all guys for helping me!

*** Bonus ***
Here's what I learned from the walkthroughs:
-That the second game of the series is called ...Magical Dreamers (!)
-That FATE is the hardest boss of the game (!!)
-That the TimeDevourer (with the 6 Dragons) is the easiest boss after MamaKomodo (!!!)

Don't you mean Radical Dreamers? Or is that the name of it in Japanese?
Title: Lynx in Home World
Post by: Kazuki on October 06, 2005, 10:43:56 pm
He was making a point about the nonsensicality of the walkthroughs featured at GameFAQS.

Yes, FATE really cracked me up how that one author was going on and on about her, and I only healed once and felt no pressure whatsoever.
Title: Lynx in Home World
Post by: V_Translanka on October 07, 2005, 01:47:49 am
As I've said before, I sucessfully used Anti Black on FATE.
Title: Lynx in Home World
Post by: fxar99 on October 08, 2005, 04:42:36 pm
I never figured out... How does +X affect the Element? I've noticed that RecoverAll+3 heals a few more HP than RecoverAll. But, what's the difference between MagNegate -2 and MagNegate? What about TurnColor, AntiColor, etc?

V_T, how did you use AntiBlack on FATE? I thought these elements don't work with bosses - I never managed to successfully use one.

And another question, what does HellSoul and HellBound require in order to work? The TimeDevourer used twice HellSoul on Serge and killed him. I used four HellSouls on the TimeDevourer but didn't affect him. Not fair.[/u]
Title: Lynx in Home World
Post by: Kazuki on October 08, 2005, 06:16:52 pm
Hell soul is one of those elements that typically don't work on bosses (similar to Magus's, "Black hole," or any of the death summons.)

And yes...Anti Black typically shouldn't have worked on FATE...but it did XD.
