How to Recruit Lynx

Can you recruit Lynx in Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition? Learn the truth about playing as Lynx and why he can't join your party permanently.

Hey there! So you're wondering about recruiting Lynx in Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition, huh? It's a common question, and honestly, it's a bit of a trick question. You can't actually recruit Lynx to join your party in the same way you do with other characters. Don't worry, though, it's not a bug or something you missed – it's by design!

Here's the deal: After you complete Fort Dragonia in the Another World, Lynx and Serge actually switch bodies. This means you'll get to play as Lynx for a little while. Think of it as a temporary guest appearance rather than a permanent party member.

However, this body-swapping situation is temporary. Once you use the Dragon Tear at Fort Dragonia in the Home World, Serge and Lynx switch back. After that point, you won't be able to control Lynx anymore. So, while you get a brief stint playing as him, he can't officially join your team. It's a unique part of the story, but unfortunately, no, you can't recruit Lynx permanently.
