How to Find Komodo Scales

Learn how to find the three Komodo Scales needed to progress in Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition. Includes strategies for the Mama Komodo boss fight.

Alright, so Leena wants you to grab some Komodo Scales from Lizard Rock before she'll join up with you. Don't worry, it's not too far out of the way! You'll find Lizard Rock on the World Map, just between Arni Village and Opassa Beach. You can enter it from either the north or south, but let's head into the north entrance.

Once you're in, you'll see three little Komodo Pups running around. You've got to figure out a little puzzle for each one to get them to battle you and drop a scale. Leena's not joining you for this, so it's all on you!

The First Komodo Pup

Right when you enter, you'll see the first pup. It's a bit shy and dives into a hole whenever you get close. See that purple rock nearby? Push it into the hole to trap the little guy, and then you can start the fight.

The Second Komodo Pup

Keep heading down the path, and you'll find the second pup. This one's a runner – it disappears every time you approach, leaving the area empty. You'll need to backtrack a bit. Look for a green path leading north and exit that section. You'll have to fight a monster to move forward. After that, take the path to the right and then head down the one next to the green path you just came from. This brings you back to the second pup's area, but this time you'll be above it.

The game will prompt you to jump when you reach the edge above the pup. You need to time your jump perfectly to land on it and initiate the battle. Don't miss this jump, or you'll have to try again!

The Third Komodo Pup

The last pup is to the left of this area. It's just running in a circle. This one's pretty straightforward – no real puzzle here. Just chase it counter-clockwise until you catch up. Make sure you're holding the run button, but don't speed up the game itself, just your character's movement.

Mama Komodo

Once you've dealt with all three pups, get ready for a boss fight! Mama Komodo will appear automatically. This is your first real challenge that can actually knock you out, so pay attention. Don't just mash the Attack button; you'll need to be a bit more strategic with your moves. Remember to heal yourself when your HP gets low.

Warning: Some of Mama Komodo's attacks can take away more than half of your HP, so be prepared to heal often!
