The Millennial Fair Begins!

Your journey commences in the year 1000 A.D., in the sleepy town of Truce. Crono, our silent protagonist, awakens to the bustling sounds of the Millennial Fair. Your first objective is to meet up with your childhood friend, Lucca, at the fairgrounds.

  • Wake Up and Explore:
    • Upon gaining control of Crono, head downstairs in your house.
    • Speak with your mother. She'll offer you 200G. Accept it! This money will be crucial for early purchases.
    • Before leaving, check the sparkling object in the kitchen for a hidden Potion. Every little bit helps!
  • Truce Village Exploration:
    • Exit Crono's house and explore Truce. You can speak to various NPCs for flavor text, but there are no immediate items to find outside.
    • Head east to exit Truce and enter the world map.
  • Journey to Leene Square:
    • From Truce, simply walk south on the world map. You'll quickly arrive at Leene Square, the site of the Millennial Fair.

First Steps at the Fair

Leene Square is a vibrant hub of activity. Your immediate goal is to find Lucca, but take a moment to soak in the atmosphere and gather some essential early game items.

  • Meeting Marle:
    • As you enter Leene Square, you'll inevitably bump into a mysterious girl. This is Marle.
    • After a brief interaction, Marle will join your party. She's a capable healer and will be invaluable in the upcoming challenges.
  • Fairground Scavenger Hunt:
    • Explore the various stalls and areas of the fair. Many NPCs offer mini-games or dialogue, but some hide valuable items.
    • Potion (x2): Look for a sparkling spot near the entrance to the fair, close to where you met Marle.
    • 100G: Head to the northern part of the fair, near the "Norstein Bekkler's Tent of Horrors" attraction. There's a sparkling spot on the ground.
    • Power Tab: This is a crucial early-game stat booster. Win the "Race" mini-game located in the western part of the fair. You need to beat the running man by mashing the 'A' button. Practice makes perfect!
  • Locating Lucca and the Telepod:
    • Lucca's invention, the Telepod, is the main attraction. Head to the large structure in the center of Leene Square.
    • Speak with Lucca. She'll invite you to witness her demonstration.

Once you've gathered the items and spoken with Lucca, prepare for the demonstration. This is where the true adventure of Chrono Trigger begins!
