Glad you enjoyed it! Which ending was your favorite?

Yes, the true solution is the "Everything Lv. MAX - Congratulations" Ending.

It really is! Games like this have a special way of bringing back those nostalgic childhood memories.👍

It’s true, classics like this have a special charm! While gaming has evolved, there’s something timeless about the creativity and simplicity of older games.

It can be found in the easternmost area just outside the Emerald Cave. The cave is maze-like, but finding the emerald isn't too hard.

Your party should be within level range 30 to 45.

Its story, characters, and gameplay are truly memorable. 👍

بله، این موسیقی مقدمه‌ی Saiyuki: Journey West برای PS1 است.

Não me lembro exatamente quantas horas pois já tem bastante tempo que joguei. Mas essa etapa do torneio já é praticamente no final do jogo. Aí não tem menos que 20 horas de gameplay.

This game is a visual novel where you primarily read through the story and make choices. These choices may or may not have an impact on the storyline. Overall, the gameplay is minimal, with interaction limited to a few key decisions that can influence the plot.

You're welcome! I'm glad to hear it brought back good memories for you! 👍 It’s such a timeless game, and the character designs really do stand out. Glad you’re still enjoying it!

This hack utilizes 3D models that were already present in the original game's code. The H-Kabuterimon model was already included in the original game.

First, obtain the Weird Thing on Freezeland 14F. Afterward, talk to Techna-Donna at the Device Dome. Make sure your Digi-Beetle's engine is upgraded-I'm using a Titan Body for this. She'll mention that all models from the City and Device Dome can receive this upgrade. If your Digi-Beetle meets the requirements, she'll upgrade the Power Radar.

@Tritemios thank you so much later I try

@@Tritemios is this item soldable? i think i sold it i not sure, i remember i get this before and i go back 14f i cant found it sad

@@Tritemios oh i found it, inside the IMPORTANT bar , i have the weird thingy and i am admant body already , duno why cannot

Yes, this item is a key item and cannot be sold. Try equipping a different body/tank from the City or Device Dome.

It's great to see interest in this game resurface from time to time, especially with the release of new titles. Journey to the West is undoubtedly a timeless and fascinating story, and other tales inspired by it often carry some of its unique qualities.

You got me

Yes, when the Time Devourer starts following the correct elemental sequence, you should try to disrupt it and prevent him from continuing the sequence after green. Yellow -> Red -> Green -> Blue -> Black -> White

You're very welcome! I'm glad the playthrough brought back memories and reignited your interest in the game. It's great that you're considering emulating it to catch those special battle dialogues yourself-there’s always something new to discover! Thanks for the kind words, and who knows, maybe someday we'll see that sequel. 😄 Enjoy your journey back into the game!

I never played this game back in the PS1 days, but it's definitely a hidden gem that I discovered much later. I'm glad you enjoyed it. 👍

I prefer to trigger this ending before restoring Serge's body because defeating the final boss as Lynx is slightly faster than with Serge.

Yes, defeating Dario will trigger a different ending.

Pois é, esse é um jogo um pouco obscuro. Na época do PS1 mesmo eu nunca cheguei a jogar, só anos depois.

@@Tritemios eu tinha o CD na época, e eu só lembrava das animações, sons e do personagem transformando em mamaco kk

Yes, you can use any strategy to defeat the Time Devourer to get this ending.

Yes, you can postpone until certain point to get a specific item, element or character and still get this ending. However, if you defeat Dario or restore Serge's Body you'll trigger a different ending.

Yes, Nikki needs to be in the party in the last battle, but the third character can be anyone else.

This location is only in this alternative version, not in the original game.

I completely agree! The game's visuals are indeed stunning, and it's no surprise that it's considered one of the best-looking games on the PSX. 👍

Yes, to use DeltaAttack(White) you need Serge/Lv.5, Leena/Lv. 7, & Razzly/Lv.7 techs available.

which is why that tech is crap since Leena/Razzly BOTH suck and ONLY the lv 5 tech Serge transfers to NG+/Continue + runs the lv 7 techs for those 2 don't the weapon Razzly gets with her lv 7 tech doesn't count as a KEY item so it will transfer over to NG+ runs but Razzly is still pure crap with that weapon.

It's the "new" version available on the Eyezmaze website.

Nikki has a few lines if he's in the party when you first encounter Marcy and Fargo. 👍

It's a classic! 👍

You can get this ending with any guide/route to Viper Manor. They don't need to be in the party, though.

Correct but Pierre is still crap and on a FIRST run I chose Guile.

Serge is the epitome of the silent protagonist.

Yes, you need to recruit Razzly for one of the endings. 👍

But you also NEED Nikki for that same ending but that Nikki and Razzly join ending I used Serge Poshul and Nikki against the last boss AND still did the CC sequence for it to never attack you Nikki CAN use Vigora on Serge to easily make sure the last boss never attacks you.

His arrogance and thirst for power ultimately led to his downfall.

Yes, but Lucian plays a significant role in this, constantly shifting perspectives.

I completed every fight with the Time Devourer in all endings without using the elemental sequence trick because it gets monotonous watching everyone just attack for 10 minutes straight. Pierre was in every battle during the Pierre route, and Nikki was in every battle of the Nikki route. I also showed every outcome, including with and without Razzly, in the Hydra battle.

Well I'd rather not have it attack and yes IT CAN use Black Hole to kill everyone and MOST of the time when I had it use Iceburg/Deluge I had it at least Freeze 2 party members that's why I'd rather NOT have it attack at all for EVERY ENDING that is NOT the Good one. On my Pierre route 3rd run of the game I'll immediately ditch him for Glenn and Poshul.

To the Time Devourer use a black element, you need to start the element sequence: Yellow > Red > Green > Blue and let him go after Blue. Since I’m not trying to complete the sequence, it usually sticks to Green most of the time. It has never used BlackHole for me, only OmegaBlack in rare ocasions when I trying to do the element sequence. But, if BlackHole is bothering you, you can equip a Black Brooch to protect against black status effects. Also, I’m not replaying the entire game; I’m just using Continue+, because I already made the saves at the right spots to get the different endings.

I had it attempt Black Hole at least once but I won''t equip the Black Brooch at all despite stealing it but I'll still do the entire sequence so that it never attacks you eventually the boss itself will attempt the CC sequence anyways and if it does it still won't attack you once it uses the White element IF it does the entire sequence. But IT can use Ultra nova for its white turn but I tended to let it use that over Black Hole.

The music in this game is amazing! I love it too! 👍

Pierre has some of the worst stats, but if you equip him with rainbow gear and sunglasses, he can actually deal significant damage to the final boss. His level 5 tech and critical hits can reach over 400 damage.

Not really he still SUCKS with the Spectral Sword equipped on a 1st NG+ run so he's still crap with it euqipped AT Star lv 99 so on my 3rd route after he joins I ditched HIM immediately after beating Lynx with Glenn don't have Kid route or Poshul + any 3rd party member as long as its NOT Leena/Mojo those 2 also SUCK on the Save Kid route.

Chrono Cross element doesn't carry over in the Continue+ or in the New Game+. You can't use the Chrono Cross element if you didn't obtain it previously in that playthrough.

No but you can still DO the ENTIRE Crono Cross sequence WITHOUT actually OWNING it and as soon as the last correct element in the Sequence HITS the final boss it will still NEVER attack you AT ALL so its still best to get EVERY single Ending that is NOT the GOOD ending if the final boss NEVER attacks you at all.

At the start of the battle, the boss will switch its Elements as the player uses the correct ones needed for the sequence. If you begin with a Yellow Element, the boss will try to counter with a Blue Element on its next turn, since Blue opposes Red, which is the next needed color. However, if you follow the Yellow with a Red before the boss acts, it will attempt to use a Yellow Element instead, aiming to disrupt the sequence by opposing Green, the next needed color. If it manages to interrupt the sequence, it reverts to using Green Elements, as Yellow is needed next in the sequence. When the boss is low on health, this pattern changes. It starts using the correct Elements needed for the sequence on its own. Since the Chrono Cross has no opposing element, if you complete the sequence, the boss won’t take any action.

That's why I only attempt to get the NG+ endings AFTER it can never Attack any more before that I'll green plate and Green Brooch at least Serge, though Leena is CRAP she's the same Elemental type AS Vigora so you could have her use Vigora on Serge to have him do the entire Crono Cross Sequence in 1 turn but not before it uses at least Carnivore or Tornado at least once.

I've never seen this character in other Grow games.

​@@Tritemios This monster has horn and the drum-like things on its back. This monster seems to be based on the Raijin(雷神), the Japanese mythological god.

Yes, this game isn’t very good at guiding you on where to go next. You’ll often find yourself stuck, having to talk to every NPC or inspect every corner of all the dungeons to figure out how to move forward.

The final boss never uses Blackhole. It can use Iceberg and Deluge, but it's very unlikely to freeze the entire party at once.

Last boss if it uses Black Innate move to screw up the Crono Cross sequence IT CAN use Black Hole but I COULD still have iceburg/Deluge freeze the ENTIRE party at once IF either one IS used. But its still easier to get the bad ending after it never attacks you once any more and it won't one the entire Crono Cross sequence is used even if you NEVER use the Crono Cross itself for the good ending or don't even own it.

Poor Sir Dynas is destined to die no matter what happens. No matter what you do, some fates just can’t be changed.

Nice! If you enjoy puzzle and strategy games, it's definitely worth checking out. 👍

This Grow series has some great games! 👍

Yes, the final boss often uses green elements, which usually throws off the pattern needed to get the good ending.

As for the Good ending setting all the elements TO A LV 1 SLOT Serge only AND VIGORA Fargo to a LV 8 Slot allows you to use all 7 elements at once but Serge still needs the Green Plate equipped before Fargo can use Vigora set to a lv 8 element on him while having a elemental power lv of 8 on Serge before using Vigora.

Vigora and other stat-altering elements (like EagleEye, BatEye, Weaken, LoRes, etc.) don't change in power or duration based on the grid level you equip them on. It's best to place them on the lowest grid level since it doesn't make a difference if they're on a higher level.

No they do I only had Vigora LAST long enough to do the ENTIRE 6 Crono Cross sequence WITHOUT the last boss messing it up if Vigora is ONLY set to a lv 8 slot any lower and I would have the last boss screw up the CC sequence after doing only 4 of the 6 elements after using Vigora set to a lv 5 slot.

I feel you! The game and its ending are unforgettable. It’s a masterpiece that sticks with you long after the final credits roll.

Use Diminish and Imbecile to reduce elemental damage. In this battle, Tornado only did 90-142 damage because I used both of those beforehand: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4SXhYlnlq52mqM Equipping everyone with plates isn't the best strategy in this battle since plates have lower Magic Defense than Stone Mail. You'll absorb one element but take more damage from all others. As you can see, Kid is taking significantly more elemental damage than the others because she's equipped with the Blue Plate. In this battle, the boss didn't get a chance to use Blackhole because Serge, equipped with the Mastermune, was dealing critical damage every turn. However, if you don’t deal enough damage to change his element to white, he will use it.

Well even with the Mastermune I STILL had it use Blackhole but I would still take even MORE damage WITH the Stone mails so yes I'd rather STILL absorb at Least 1 element by the ENTIRE party I'd rather just TRAP Tornado I could still have it do enough damage even WITH dimish used but I'd rather just kill each form as quickly as possible. Kid actually SUCKS at this point Fargo is STILL the better STEALER of items that I'll never use Kid once you beat FATE. I prefer using the White Black and Red Plates though the Blue dragon boss is easy enough the Blue plate really won't be needed especally with Kid NOT being used at all. The LAST boss at FIRST spams Carnivore/Tornado/Omega green until it loses half of its HP so I still used the Green Plate + Null poison effect so that at least Serge won't DIE until it loses half of its HP can't KEEP the Mastermune/Einlanzer for Glenn so before the LAST boss fight actually MAKE the Spectral Swallow and Sword NOW at least those DO transfer to NG+ runs.

The attack pattern of this boss when it's in the Black element is: FreeFall → HolyLight → OmegaBlack or Genius + Imbecile + BlackHole → Attack ×2 So before using BlackHole, the boss will go through all these other elements first. Stone Mails give +12 MDEF, while the all plates only give +4 MDEF, so you'll take significantly more elemental damage when using the plates. The last boss's attack pattern is random, though it tends to use more green and yellow elements.
