Oh, and melchior or however it's spelled is in the castle basement where the shell is

[@MrMilesTV]

Yup! Took me a second to realize that

@MrMiles 1:16 Because you obtained the Rainbow Shell and defeated Yakra XIII, Melchior is currently hanging out in the basement of Guardia Castle 1000 AD. Before going there, go to the Sun *Temple* in 2300 AD. 7:12 Unfortunately, Taban has already given all of the possible gear he gives for Lucca, so there's sadly no need to really come back here anymore... :/ 11:23 Another fine example of this game using time travel effectively. :) 12:29 So, when you don't have any status protection, you can just speak to this one nun for Vigilant's Hats (assuming you have *50000* G to spare). 13:20 And even despite us leaving him in 600 AD for 400 years, Robo didn't even seem angry at the party. 15:26 I guess this one line makes you wonder why the Epoch has very specific time periods that it can go to. 16:03 Crono is a silent protagonist, after all, so of course, he wouldn't exchange any dialogue here, which is why it was still optional to revive him. 17:05 It seems you meant to say "990" (nine-hundred ninety) instead of "1999" (nineteen ninety). 19:10 Well, that was unfortunate. You see, Taban's one true love is, in fact, Lara, which is the name of Lucca's mom. On the SNES version, you literally had to use the L and R shoulder buttons as well as the A button to spell out "L A R A" on the machine for the password. This is very easy to mess up, but at least you read Taban's note on the table before doing so. Something I find interesting about Lucca's motivation to become an inventor is that, whether you did successfully prevent Lara from being crippled, Lucca becomes an inventor anyway to ensure something as dangerous as that wouldn't happen again. But if you still wish to prevent Lara's legs from being crushed, I hope you saved before retrieving Robo in Fiona's Shrine so you could savescum and- Oh, you didn't do that in the end, huh? :/ 20:21 - 20:58 This dialogue exchange is much more different (and shorter) if you DO manage to input the password correctly. 21:06 In addition to finishing this quest, Robo will still give you the Green Dream. I personally don't use this accessory that much despite being worn on any party member, but it is a wholesome gesture to our robot buddy. 23:44 Aaaaaaaaaand this sentence here is kind of a problem with Lucca's side-quest. Because the story gives such a vague hint when speaking to Lara with little build-up, it just makes Lucca's side-quest feel tacked on out of nowhere. Granted, it probably didn't have AS poor execution as Marle's side-quest, but they really could've done a lot more development with Chrono Trigger's main cast except for Frog, Robo, and Magus. It's still a great game nonetheless. 23:55 I guess you probably thought Lara was dead is because...she's just not that memorable of a character. 33:30 Actually, there *were* monsters through the set of stairs on the left, but you defeated them by then. 35:14 Because Delta Storm is considered a "Shadow" element, the Flesh Reapers and Fallen were able to absorb it. Both of these enemies are weak to fire. 44:13 ... Unless you count Crono's revival... 44:23 Ayla doesn't really have a side-quest in this game (I guess her dialogue in the end of time does remind the player of Ruby Vests in 65000000 BC), and because of that, the only "side-quest(s)" she has involves obtaining the Silver Gemstone from that lone Nu in 65000000 BC (which you already did) and the Sun Temple + Sun Shrine quest, which is something that *Lucca* points out, meaning it's *her* "side-quest" instead. For Magus, his side-quest just involved defeating Ozzie, Flea, and Slash at Ozzie's Fort to mellow the relationship between humans and fiends (mostly). 50:57 Because you opened this one chest in 600 AD, it is now empty in 1000 AD. 54:37 Since the Onimaru and Siren's Kiss are effectively weaker versions of the Suzaku and Valkyrie Bow respectively, you can sell the former just fine if you want, but the Nova Amor's ability to negate status ailments in comparison to the Moonbeam Armor's extra magic defense is still quite handy for party members who don't have status immunity. 58:47 As you can see, the Sun *Temple* is a location that resides in 2300 AD. 59:39 You know, I actually feel bad for not ever telling you about each individual Spekkio form, so here's the forms that you challenged: *Second form at levels 10 to 19: Kilwala. This form has 800 HP, 253 defense, and 50 magic defense. He has Fire 1, Lightning 1, Ice 1, and Water 1. *Third form at levels 20 to 29: Dark Blue Ogan. This form has 2200 HP and the same defenses as the second form, as well as the same magic attacks. *Fourth form at levels 30 to 39: Red Gaoler. This form has 4800 HP and the same defenses as the previous two forms. He has the same skills except for Water 1 but also has Fire 2, Lighting 2, and Ice 2. *Fifth form at levels 40 to 98: Blue Masamune. This form has 10000 HP, 127 defense, and 70 magic defense. It has Fire 2, Lightning 2, Ice 2, and Dark Bomb. In addition, it also has Chaos Zone to confuse your party if you don't have any status immunity against it and even an Instant KO tech. 1:05:09 This line indicates that the Sun *Temple* + Sun *Shrine* quest is still available for completion. 1:06:20 Magus could be given a chance to shine again... in the Black Omen (especially at the end of it). ;) It looks like you're now actually making more progress than before. Oh, and something I forgot to mention is that Omega Flare uses *Lucca's* magic stat, so make sure to give her something that can rev up her magic IF you plan on using that attack. As for the triple tech known as Poyozo Dance (from the White Gemstone), you probably shouldn't use it if you are epileptic due to flashing lights. If not, you can give Ayla something that boosts her magic attack.

I didn’t read this comment prior to recording the finale but I’m glad you suggested some stuff that I ended up doing anyway

[@thecowardlytimelord5322]

Yes you can save Lara's legs if you are quick enough to enter the code on the machine but I don't know if it changes literally anything besides adding some animations and giving a happier ending for Lucca.

[@mightymanatee5342]

I think Robo gives her a better gift if you get it right.

[@Loner098]

I'm pretty sure Robo just gives Lucca the Green Dream anyway.

[@MrMilesTV]

Does he give her Robot Legs?

[@Loner098]

@@MrMilesTV Sadly, no.

[@mightymanatee5342]

You had the right idea with the password but ran out of time.

[@MrMilesTV]

sorry Lucca's mom haha
