Learn how to defeat Magus in Chrono Trigger. Magus has 6666 HP and absorbs Light, Shadow, Ice/Water, and Fire magic.

  • Frog equipped with the Masamune.
Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Magus has a magic barrier that only allows one type of magic to penetrate at a time.
  2. 2
    Attack Magus to change the type of magic his barrier allows.
  3. 3
    Attack with the magic type currently allowed by the barrier.
  4. 4
    Whenever Frog attacks with the Masamune equipped, Magus's magic defense lowers, increasing magic damage.
  5. 5
    Heal your entire group (Robo's Heal Beam Tech is useful) every couple of rounds.
  6. 6
    Magus will eventually begin casting Dark Matter, a powerful Tech that can deal over 200 HP damage to your whole group.
  7. 7
    For this phase, use your strongest attacks. If Crono, Frog, and Robo have the Triple Tech "Triple Attack", it will be very helpful.
  8. 8
    Continue attacking and healing every few rounds until you win.
