Ending 7: The Viper Orphanage

Learn how to achieve Ending 7, The Viper Orphanage, in Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition. This guide covers the steps after the Dario sidequest and before completing Chronopolis.

Alright, so you're aiming for Ending 7, huh? The one they call "The Viper Orphanage." It's a pretty amusing one, and thankfully, it's not too complicated to get once you know the trigger. Basically, you need to take down the Time Devourer after you've dealt with that Dario sidequest, but before you wrap up the main story in Chronopolis. Easy peasy, right?

You know the drill by now: head back to Opassa Beach. That's your spot for the final showdown with the Time Devourer, armed with your trusty Time Egg. Honestly, by this point, you should be a total pro at beating this thing. If you're feeling a little rusty or just want a refresher, there's a link to more detailed tips if you need 'em.

Party-wise, you should have a much beefier crew now, especially if you managed to get Serge back in the fold. At a minimum, you'll want the Mastermune and at least a few of the Four Devas on your side. With a solid team and that awesome sword, victory is pretty much a given.

The actual ending sequence kicks off similarly to Ending 6, over at Viper Manor. But instead of General Viper rallying his troops, he's giving a speech to the kids at the orphanage. Then, things get a bit wild as Dark Serge and his gang hit up the bar in Termina. I won't spoil the rest, but trust me, it's a memorable scene!
