Learn how to access the Black Omen, a floating structure that appears in Chrono Trigger from 12,000 B.C. onward.

The Ocean Palace from 12,000 B.C. will rise out of the ocean and float in the air late in the game. It appears in all time eras from 12,000 B.C. onward, but not in 65,000,000 B.C. because it did not exist then. You must use the Epoch (your time-traveling vessel) to fly up and enter it. You can enter it at any point. To enter, just fly under it and the words "Black Omen" will appear; press the A button to enter.

The inside of the Black Omen is exactly the same in all time eras. This means you cannot beat a boss in one era and then go back to an earlier era to refight it, nor can you find treasures in one era and expect them to be different in another. When you are ready, go to any time period other than 65,000,000 B.C. and enter the Black Omen.

Tips
  • The Black Omen is accessible in all eras from 12,000 B.C. up to the present.
  • Ensure you are using the Epoch to fly to the Black Omen.
  • The interior layout and contents of the Black Omen do not change between time periods.
