Good 'ol Goku. He doesn't die when he's killed. You can't beat him, but you CAN join him.

"Can you beat Chrono Trigger with only Crono?" As at least one other comment already beat me to the punch to say, not only yes you can, but to obtain one of the New Game Plus endings (Developers' Room via facing Lavos using the NG+ Telepod portal before taking Marle back to the castle for the trial) it's pretty much a requirement! Through experimentation I found that not only can you trigger this sequence with only Crono solo before going to 600 AD, you can also still get the ending by going through the Telepod's NG+ Lavos portal while Marle is still in your party after you rescue her but before you take her back to the castle to trigger the trial. The Mature Lavos Shell is still an annoying battle with just two characters, but it's way more manageable than Crono by himself, especially since you have a healer.

"Yet another reason why Chrono Trigger is my favorite game of all-time." You and me both, dude.

He also didn't follow the narrative through to completion. The real end run of the game is the black omen, also by going through the black omen and fighting Queen Zeal you skip the boss rush when you face off against Lavos for the last time.

I like how you used various square enix boss music when fighting bosses. I think there was even some persona mixed in too. Well done!

By the laws of power levels and the fact that it's an intrinsic part of NG+ (it's the alternate requirement for the dev room ending, other being beat Lavos in Zeal before Crono's death), yes. Yes he can! With enough levels and tabs, almost anything is possible! My friend Moore once challenged me to solo Lavos with a level 37 Crono, and I did. Still be interesting to see the hiccups caused by trying to do it from the start of the game though.

Purely out of my own curiosity, I have noticed that when you play CHRONO trigger that you don’t “farm” the Nu in 65,000,000BC at the Hunting Grounds while it’s raining. I was wondering if you feel that that’s breaking the game or you just didn’t know about it? Because all of their abilities aren’t level-based, they are tech point based, and he is a great way to farm tech points Very early in the game.

@tantacles

It’s not breaking the game, but generally in these types of runs I try to beat final bosses with the minimal amount of stuff necessary.

24:05 - when I clicked on this, I was wondering if it would even be possible to defeat Ocean Palace Lavos with only Crono if you grinded like mad lol. I suppose we have to assume that it's impossible to beat the game with only Crono

I think status effects are on a priority system, only what the game considers the "strongest" one remains. Well, except for HP leak, that only has a duration and doesn't interact with the other ailments. Also, if you ever do another CT challenge: when you fight masa and mune attack the second guy, only the first one counters, and the battle ends when either target dies. The counter accessoires can counter everything, not only attacks. Like they can trigger counterattacks on phase changes. There's a fun glitch associated with the sword that deals 4x crit damage; if you perform this crit on a counter, the "crit" flag is not cleared until you either perform a normal attack or the end of your next action. So if you get this crit-counter and then use the confuse tech, it'll deal 2x damage because the game thinks you've landed a crit with it.

@apollolux

I always thought the status "priority" was "whatever was most recent," but it's been a while since I actually looked at all the fan-documented stuff on sites like Chrono Compendium and my own research when I was looking into the SNES ROM myself.

I will one day get bored of a Chrono Trigger video. But not Today!

When I was young I replayed new game+ until I had all possible stats maxed to double stars with tabs on my SNES cart. I was able to solo Lavos with Crono, so yes it is possible in New game+ for sure.

I thought you were Manu Ginobili. That's worth a sub.

I would say, after two new game+ ‘s, yes you certainly could solo Crono indefinitely 😁👍🏻👍🏻

If you don't escape lucca comes ot save you and asks if you were really going to let yourself be executed.

Wahoo another video! Today is a good day

The magic is weird in this game. Doors to Destruction and the ultimate Physical and Magical spell Lavos casts seems to just either kill you or be really easy to manage. I'm not sure what the deal with that is.

Could you try a challenege for the game. The Last Remnant? I have a good feeling youd love it if you havent tried it yet

I knew it was 'posible' because i made solo Lavos before, but It was still fun to watch ^^>.

I think Marle should've been Chi Chi (since she marries Crono/Goku in later versions of the game) and Ayla should've been 18 (since she's blonde and strong). But other than that little nitpick about which character should've had what Dragon Ball name, this video was very fun to watch.

Frog-centric parties are super fun on NG+s, though, especially with triple tech rock accessories.
