Dalton died!?!?!

[Eske]

Okay maybe this is something you guys already knew about or whatever but:

I play through CTDS the first time and King Dalton gets sucked into the Golem Boss black gate like always.  (i think... right?)

Now I'm playing through again and instead of that whole sequence he just dies in that red pixel fashion and the game goes on like normal.

Is that supposed to happen?

For info:  It's New Game + ,  killing blow was a counter by ayla,  and I did Marle's dimensional distortion before going to the Blackbird.  (I did all 3 distortions prior to NG+ as well).

It would be interesting to see if he shows up in Crono's vortex....

[Acacia Sgt]

What?

Wait, what happened during the Golem Boss fight? Maybe that changed Dalton's method of defeat.

[KebreI]

If your strong enough you could kill him before he gets sucked in to the vortex, I've done it, but only on new game +.

[Acacia Sgt]

Then it's just a matter of time, then?

[Eske]

Ah ok.  I can't believe I've never done it before though....
@Acacia Sgt:  yea I killed the Golem Boss before it could run


The first thing I thought when it happened was: wtf?!    But then I was like "oh man that makes sense. that way only one version of Dalton is in the dimensional vortex. that's neat. in the 'new game+' dimension, dalton just dies. awesome - this probably says alot for who Eclipse Magus is too. hell yea"

^ lol all that excitement for nothing

Belthasar:
   That thing...
   the '"King Dalton"'...
   is only a quasi-existence...
   ...A temporary form that
   the real Dalton uses
   in order to appear within
   this dimension.
   The actual Dalton
   was consumed long ago,
   in the distant past...
   Integrated by the entity
   known as Lavos in a time
   on the other side of the
   dimensional darkness.

Ha, I'm just joking.

Ha, I'm just joking.

I was just about to ask where you found that when I read the text quoted above.

[TriforceofEternity]

Good thing too.   He is King Dolton.        Hopefully he sees the errors in his ways in the after-world and improves himself from the power-hungry craze.           

[Shadow D. Darkman]

Doesn't give up his plans for vengeance though.

I'll raise up the greatest army the world's ever seen in Porre, and use it to wipe your little kingdom off the map!

Still sore for losing back on the Epoch.
