Learn how to obtain the powerful Chrono Cross in Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition. This guide covers its location, uses, and importance for endings and recruitment.
Walkthrough
- 1After completing Chronopolis, acquire the Tear of Hate from Fort Dragonia (Another World) and the Tear of Love from Fort Dragonia (Home World).
- 2Travel to Divine Dragon Falls in Another World. This unmarked location is on the world map between Arni Village and Hydra Marshes, towards the north.
- 3Enter the cave at the back of the falls and proceed to the deepest part on the west.
- 4Use the Tear of Love and Tear of Hate on the two pedestals. If you attempt this before Chronopolis, a message will indicate it's too early.
- 5Upon successful use, the Chrono Cross will be formed and added to your Element inventory. Allocate it to Serge.
Uses of the Chrono Cross:
- Awaken Kid: Use it to enter Kid's past when she falls into a coma after the events of Chronopolis. Find her at the burned-out hut in Hermit's Hideaway (Another World).
- Good Ending: Equip the Chrono Cross to Serge's Element Grid when fighting the Time Devourer. Use Yellow, Red, Green, Blue, Black, and White Elements in that exact order. Then, use the Chrono Cross to instantly KO the boss and progress to the Good Ending.
- Recruit Characters (New Game Plus): After completing the game, use the Chrono Cross in a New Game Plus or Continue Plus. Visit Hydra Marshes (Home World), go north one screen, and use the Astral Amulet at the dimensional ripple to return to the Dimensional Vortex. Back at Sprigg’s house, the Chrono Cross will react. Use it via the key items menu to obtain characters from your cleared save file. Note that the Chrono Cross itself does not carry over and must be re-obtained.
