Ending 5: The Rebirth of Marbule

Learn how to get Ending 5: The Rebirth of Marbule in Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition. Defeat the Time Devourer after recruiting Lynx but before saving Riddel.

Alright, so you're aiming for Ending 5, huh? This one's called "The Rebirth of Marbule," and it's a pretty heartwarming one to see. To snag this ending, you'll need to take down the Time Devourer, but here's the catch: you have to do it *after* you've gotten Lynx on your team, and *before* you rescue Riddel. It's a specific window, so pay attention!

When the time comes, just head back to Opassa Beach. You'll see that dark-colored distortion there – use the Time Egg on it, and bam! You'll be teleported straight to the final boss battle. If you're feeling a bit shaky about fighting the Time Devourer, don't sweat it; there's a dedicated page that'll walk you through that fight in detail.

Now, about your party. It's going to feel a little limited since you've lost about half your crew at this point, but honestly, it's not too shabby. You've got Lynx and Harle, who are both Black Innates. That's super useful because they can dish out some serious damage to the Time Devourer with their special techs and Elements. Plus, you can totally bring Sprigg along. If you do, you can have her Doppelgang into some seriously powerful monsters you've collected from the endgame. I mean, you could even have her transform into one of the trio from the Bend of Time – Ozzie, for example, can put in some nice work with his regular attacks.

Once you manage to thwart the Time Devourer, you'll unlock this ending. You'll see Lynx and Harle hanging out in Marbule as it's being restored, which is pretty cool. Meanwhile, over at the Dead Sea Ruins, a pretty intense confrontation is brewing.
