THE WORLD OF CHRONO TRIGGER
Living in the seemingly peaceful kingdom of Guardia in 1000 A.D., the
child CRONO was chosen by guardian spirits to save the world from
ultimate devastation. Though Doomsday will not happen until the year
1999, the ancient seeds of destruction were planted long ago by the evil
LAVOS. Your mission in the world of CHRONO TRIGGER is to travel back
and forth through time to change the course of history, and stop Lavos
from succeeding in his dark plan. On your journey, you will battle
monsters and meet many helpful people in both the past and the future.
Some will become your faithful and powerful companions, while others
will give you clues by telling you stories. Pay attention to what they
say, and good luck in your adventure.
FUTURE
In the future, 2300 A.D., the world has almost been destroyed by the
evil Lavos. Those who survive are hungry, hurt, and hopeless. Find
out how to help them, because the future of the world depends on you.
PRESENT
In 1000 A.D., beneath the surface of peaceful surroundings, monsters
from the past are scheming to destroy the world while residents,
unaware of the approaching peril, celebrate in the kingdom of Guardia.
PAST
Back in 600 A.D., humans are at war against monsters controlled by the
evil Prince of Darkness. He has already defeated many Guardia
knights, so in order to help them, you must travel even further back -
to 65 Million B.C. - when Lavos first arrived on earth.
-------------------------------pgs. 06-09----------------------
CAST OF CHARACTERS
In each of the eras Crono travels to, he will be joined by interesting
new friends. Each of them has different special abilities.
CRONO
Crono is a typical teenager whom fate chooses to save the world. He
is a skilled swordsman, and as he journeys on, he learns Lightning
Magic spells.
MARLE
Marle is actually Princess Nadia of Guardia Castle. She grows
impatient with royal life and eventually leaves to help Crono. She is
good with a crossbow, and learns Water Magic during the adventure.
LUCCA
Lucca is Crono's best friend. She loves science and uses her
knowledge to build fantastic machines and very clever weapons.
Eventually she learns Fire Magic, a very useful skill.
FROG
Frog, once a Guardia Knight, was beaten very badly and turned into a
frog. He is an accomplished swordsman who also uses Water Magic well.
ROBO
You find Robo in a collapsed dome in 2300 A.D., trying to remember his
master's directions. He is very powerful and skilled with electric
weapons.
AYLA
Ayla is primitive but strong. She is trying to save her group from
the reptiles. She can break huge stones with a punch or kick. With
her strength, she doesn't need to use magic.

things you will need on your journey. To see whether you made a good

WHERE IS THIS !?
When you arrive you have no idea what era you are in.

Forest. The monsters in this area are not friendly. Be ready for
battle.

THE CASTLE OF GUARDIA
When you get to the castle the guards won't let you in. The Queen

caption: The Queen's guard will take you to her.
caption: Keep your eyes open for treasure boxes throughout the
castle.

caption: Hit the skull switch and the spikes will again disappear.
caption: After you beat the guards, play the organ.

him and get the Queen back.

Chancellor.

caption: If your Hit Points get too low, use Tonic to refill.
caption: After you win, you will meet the Queen.
CAN'T BEAT THE BOSS?
If you are having a problem beating the Chancellor, your levels are
too low. Go to the forest and build them up.
CASTLE AGAIN
Go back to the castle and talk to everyone. When you've learned
everything, you're ready to go back to 1000 A.D.
caption: When you return, everyone is very grateful that you have
saved the Queen.
caption: Marle thinks maybe the group should go back to the future.
caption: These three people [Crono, Marle, and Lucca] think Marle
looks very much like the Queen.
BACK TO THE FUTURE
Now it's time to head back to 1000 A.D. Go back up the mountain and
find the Time Tunnel. From there you will return home. This has been
a very small part of your journey. Good luck with the rest.
caption: Watch out for monsters -- they are still around.

THE WORLD OF CHRONO TRIGGER
Living in the seemingly peaceful kingdom of Guardia in 1000 A.D., the
child CRONO was chosen by guardian spirits to save the world from
ultimate devastation. Though Doomsday will not happen until the year
1999, the ancient seeds of destruction were planted long ago by the evil
LAVOS. Your mission in the world of CHRONO TRIGGER is to travel back
and forth through time to change the course of history, and stop Lavos
from succeeding in his dark plan. On your journey, you will battle
monsters and meet many helpful people in both the past and the future.
Some will become your faithful and powerful companions, while others
will give you clues by telling you stories. Pay attention to what they
say, and good luck in your adventure.
FUTURE
In the future, 2300 A.D., the world has almost been destroyed by the
evil Lavos. Those who survive are hungry, hurt, and hopeless. Find
out how to help them, because the future of the world depends on you.
PRESENT
In 1000 A.D., beneath the surface of peaceful surroundings, monsters
from the past are scheming to destroy the world while residents,
unaware of the approaching peril, celebrate in the kingdom of Guardia.
PAST
Back in 600 A.D., humans are at war against monsters controlled by the
evil Prince of Darkness. He has already defeated many Guardia
knights, so in order to help them, you must travel even further back -
to 65 Million B.C. - when Lavos first arrived on earth.
-------------------------------pgs. 06-09----------------------
CAST OF CHARACTERS
In each of the eras Crono travels to, he will be joined by interesting
new friends. Each of them has different special abilities.

Crono is a typical teenager whom fate chooses to save the world. He
is a skilled swordsman, and as he journeys on, he learns Lightning
Magic spells.

impatient with royal life and eventually leaves to help Crono. She is
good with a crossbow, and learns Water Magic during the adventure.
LUCCA
Lucca is Crono's best friend. She loves science and uses her
knowledge to build fantastic machines and very clever weapons.
Eventually she learns Fire Magic, a very useful skill.
FROG
Frog, once a Guardia Knight, was beaten very badly and turned into a
frog. He is an accomplished swordsman who also uses Water Magic well.
ROBO
You find Robo in a collapsed dome in 2300 A.D., trying to remember his
master's directions. He is very powerful and skilled with electric
weapons.
AYLA

VILLAGE LOCATIONS
Each village has two very important places you should visit - the Inn
and the Market.

will be people to talk to and items to find. Of course, if you sleep
at the Inn, your HP and MP will be completely refilled.
MARKETS
Here is where you purchase Items like weapons, armor, tonic, and other
things you will need on your journey. To see whether you made a good
or bad purchase, look at the color of your attack numbers. Blue
numbers mean you have added to your abilities; white numbers show you
have remained the same; and gray ones mean you've decreased your
level.

Forest. The monsters in this area are not friendly. Be ready for
battle.

CAN'T BEAT THE BOSS?

too low. Go to the forest and build them up.
CASTLE AGAIN
Go back to the castle and talk to everyone. When you've learned
everything, you're ready to go back to 1000 A.D.
caption: When you return, everyone is very grateful that you have
saved the Queen.

looks very much like the Queen.
BACK TO THE FUTURE

a very small part of your journey. Good luck with the rest.
