1. Introduction
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Hi there!

First, let me say that I'm not from an english-speaking country but I still
go to school so my english improves everyday. I hope you excuse me for any
further grammar/spelling errors. I know it may be annoying and so but
please forgive me(hey, I think it's better to write a faq in english
because then the whole world can understand it, not only one country). Ok,
enough about that.

Why a Chrono Trigger Ultimate Equipment faq? Well, first of all, I worship
Chrono Trigger over all other games and I think it's the best ever. And I
definitely wanted to make a faq for it. But there I thought there were
enough "total faqs"(those with walkthroughs, enemy-lists, etc.) so I
thought an ultimate equipment faq would be a better deal. This faq will
tell you everything about the best equipment you can get in CT, how to get
them, how strong they are, where they are, etc. It will NOT tell you about
something else like walkthroughs/gaming help, etc. You have many other
complete faqs for that here already(www.gamefaqs.com) so check those out
instead if you have any gaming problem. But if you want to know everything
about the equipments(which I find interesting, I'm that kinda guy that
wants the best weopons, armors etc.) you may want to check out this faq.

THIS FAQ IS ONLY ABOUT THE EQUIPMENT IN CHRONO TRIGGER, NOTHING ELSE.

If you have any comments, help, hints, anything, send me a mail to my
awesome mail adress based on the tv-gaming series lufia(RPG for SNES)

lufia3@hotmail.com

I'm thinking about updating this faq(I got a few nice new ideas :) so you
can always keep your eyes open if an updated version comes up.

:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:
<>:Info
:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:
Ok, this faq is ONLY concentrated at finding the special and ultimate
equipment you can get in Chrono Trigger. It will NOT answer any questions
about the game(only about the equipments), it will NOT tell you about the
controls, it will NOT tell you how to beat a special place or boss in the
game, the only thing it will tell you is about the special weopons, nothing
else. For each character there will be one ultimate weopon, one ultimate
helmet, and one ultimate suit. I won't include the accessories, since they
are as good for one character as the other.

The faq is for the SNES game Chrono Trigger, the RPG. It's based on Chrono
Trigger for SNES, not a ROM version on internet or something, the real
game.(I hate roms, it should always be the real game, for the real console,
I've never written anything about a rom game, everything I've written is
for the real games).

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
A: Getting started
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
So you want to get all the ultimate stuff in this game? Ok but then I
should tell ya that it takes time and some effort first. And if you want to
obtain the best stuff you often have to be in the end of the game because
that's when first then you can get it. So as you figure you have to play
the game a while before you can go out searching. It should also be said
that the weopons have different functions, like timestop, etc., which make
them different and better/worse.

But I tell ya, it's worth the effort to get the super weopons, they are
really incredible! Especially for all Chrono Trigger diggers, you just need
to get this, no doubt.

If you just follow this faq everything will be okay but itdoesn't harm to
investigate on your own, and of course it doesn't hurt to gain some
experience and level up at some crazy enemies. It's always good to have
strong guys in your party.

I tried to include as much I could about the bosses but I could have missed
anything. If I did, you njust got to tell me.

Ok, let's get started-

One more thing: Some guys will have the sam type of armors, so don't worry
about it. Also you can steal weopons(/armors that is real good. You steal
most good weopons from bosses. Try it out someday.

£££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££

(Personnally I'm most interested in the weopons, it's more fun than the
armors  :) Also this section is the biggest because it's more complicated
to get the swords than the armors/helmets(you got to defeat much more
bosses/enemies, etc.) The different characters also have all different
ultimate

Ok, the ultimate weopons for each character is:

<Frog>---Masamune II
<Robo>---Crisis Arm, Terra Arm(depends on the situation)
<Marle>--Valkerye
<Ayla>---Nothing
<Crono>--Rainbow (sword)
<Magus>--Doom Sickle

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
FROG´S ULTIMATE SWORD: MASAMUNE II
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
To get Frog's ultimate sword you need to first have the masamune I, that
you get after you collected all the special pieces and brought them to
Melchior. He'll create the sword Masamune I. You haven't done that?!? Oh
then you have some stuff to do, enjoy the game!

You want help to find Masamune I? Hmmm...maybe I shouldn't include this
here, but since Masamune I and Masamune II is somewhat related(you need
masamune I to get masamune II, actually it's the same sword, it's just that
it gets powered-up) I tell ya:

The quest for the masamune is long and quite complicated. You have to beat
several bosses and play a lot before you finally get it working. You need
three parts to create the sword. I'll divide finding the masamune ultimate
sword in four stages.

----------------------------------
STAGE 1 Getting the broken sword
----------------------------------
The search for Masamune I starts when you finished the village of magic,
you know that cave where a big monster was(Hecran), in 1000 AD. After you
finished that, it's time to start searching. Return to the Millenial Fair
in Leene Square(1000 AD) then head for Lucca's invention(upper right
corner) and warp back to end of time. From there, step into the lightbeam
that transform you to AD 600(upper left corner). You'll notice a few
changes since you were here last time, there'll be different enemies, etc.
Exit the canyon and head for the Village of Truce.Go to Truce Inn and talk
to the people. You hear something about a wild guy called magus :) that
causes trouble. Take the Bronzemail(an armor, not so strong) from the
treasure chest and then head to the castle. Talk to the king and you find
out he is injured. He'll send you to Zenan Bridge, where magus's troops
are. NOTICE!!! But there is no point in going to Zenan Bridge without food
supplies because the king's troops are starving and they need food to keep
on fighting. Go downstairs and to the royal kitchen. Talk to the chief and
then head out of there. You'll get a Jerky that is food for the soldiers.
Then head to the Zenan Bridge.

Here, talk to the commander and he'll ask you if you want to join them. Say
yes and you'll get a gold helmet(quite good helmet). After that, go left
and beat Ozzie and his goons. At the end you'll fight a boss, Zombor. He is
divided in two different parts, the upper body and his legs. Use Ice magic
on the head and fire/lighting to destroy the legs. When you won, you saved
the kingdom...for now. Ozzie and his goons will flee. But there is still
more to do if you want the masamune...

After you defeated Zombor(boss at the zenan bridge) head on down/right on
the map and keep exploring. Head to the Porre Village to hear some gossip
about the powerful sword(whoa, finally something about that d_mn sword!).
After that, go to the cursed woods(lies west in the forest on the map).
Investigate around here and find a hidden entrance in the bushes. Go down
and you find an old friend.....FROG!!! Frog is discouraged and a little
depressed when you find him. He keeps telling you that he is no hero, and
he failed to protect the princess. Don't bother, he's just not in the mood,
ok? Forget him for the moment and head to Denadoro Mountains(the big
mountain on the map). But before you do that, you might want to stock up
with powerup-items like tonic, ether, mid tonic etc. Go buy it in a shop
and then return to the mountains. Here, go on and you'll soon find a little
boy that is chased by a monster. He runs by and start talking. Climb the
whole moutain(really huge mountain), you have to fight many enemies before
you reach the top. Don't forget all the treasures around here! When you're
finally on the top, recover your hp and mp to max and then save at the
nearby spot. Then enter the cave. Talk to the twins. They'll start
fighting. You defeat them easiest by concentrating on one first. When you
beat them, they'll transform into a huge dude which is a little harder to
defeat. Use magic and the Crono's slash technique to stop the boss's
special attack(you know that one when he starts briefing and powering up
for a mighty attack). When you defeat him, they'll transform back into two
harmless boys again and they'll give you the masamune.

Ah, finally you got the precious masamune sword! Sorry to tell you this,
but..yes you do have it, but it's broken and can't be wielded.

Go back to Tata's house in Porre Village and Tata will give you the
medallion(Hero's medal). When you got this, go back to frog in cursed
woods. He'll be surprised but he's still discouraged. Though he will give
you the Masamune's hilt.

Go back to Truce Canyon and go back to end of time. Talk to the old wise
man there and then speak with spekkio. Hopefully he'll initiate a new spell
to ya. After that, head to 1000 AD. From there, go to Melchior's hut.
Melchior explains he needs a rare metal to fix the sword, the dream stone
that can only be found in 65.000.000 BC. Oh no, more to do before I get
that sword!!!

------------------------
STAGE 2 The Dreamstone
------------------------
Go to 65.000.000 BC. and you'll meet a new friend, Ayla. She knows
something about that rock and follow her to the village, where you'll be
invited on a party. You actually win the dream stone from Ayla in an eating
contest. But when you wake up next morning, the gate key is gone! Without
it you can't go back to end of time!

You find out that the reptites(evil animals!) took it and you need to trace
them. Follow the footsteps and you encounter the thieves, sooner or later.
Go to Forest Maze(south on map) but before you do this, you maybe want to
stock up with powerful weopons/armors/items. If you want to do that, go to
the north place "Hunting Range" where you can defeat easy enemies and gain
valuable goods you can trade in the village for equipment. When you are
ready, go back to forest maze.

Follow the footsteps and fight your way through(don't forget the treasures)
You might want to have Ayla in your party(you must) but I mean you want to
equip her with Berserk because she'll be really strong then and defeat most
enemies easily. Some enemies(like megasaur) you need to shock with a
lighning blast first, then they'll be easier to vanquish. After you are out
from the forest maze, you find a cave. Save and then enter it.

Inside the reptite lair, it will be neccessary to dive into a hole and
explore underground to find a boss and then retrieve the gate key. So how
do these holes appear? Well, you see that blue dudes, walking around with a
long nose? They will start digging holes in the ground if you just leave
them alone. Try to stay away and wait for them to begin. After they are
finished, dive into the hole. You end up somewhere, depending where the
hole was located. Sometimes you find a treasure chest, sometimes nothing. A
good tip is that you wait until they are completely finished and you choose
a hole far away from the others. Don't dive into holes that lie nearby
where you've been before, the risk is that you just end up in the same
place(time wasting).

At the end of the cave, you find the boss(you don't need to dive into the
holes to get there, I think). The boss will be Azala(small green reptite)
and Nizbel. Use Ayla's Rollo Kick and Crono's Cyclone. Use the lightning
spell Crono has to shock Nizbel so he looses more energy. Keep on fighting,
you'll probably win. After you defeated Nizbel, you get the time key. You
can go home!!!

-----------------------------
STAGE 3 Fixing the masamune
-----------------------------
Go back to end of time, save and talk to Spekkio. You'll learn some new
magical spells. Then go to AD 1000 and talk to Melchior. Ah, finally the
masamune will be ready!! Since you have the Dreamstone and the other parts
of the sword, Melchior can fix it. Now, of course go back to Frog in 600
AD. As Frog spots the sword, he has to think over the situation. You'll
stay there for a night and you'll see an awesome cinema scene!!!
After that, he'll join you. Now you might want to go back to end of time
and give him some spells. So, now you got the precious sword masamune!! You
want to test how good it really is? Then go back to AD600 and to the magic
cave in the east. You'll see a cinema scene where Frog shatters the
mountain...

-----------------------------------
STAGE 4: Powering up the Masamune
-----------------------------------
You want to powerup the masamune? Ok, but that can only be done later, from
where you can choose among the different chapters. I'm talking about the
Hero's grave, where Cyrus(awesome guy) is buried. You still don't know what
I'm talking about? Ok, after you fought Dalton Plus at the Blackbird, the
whole Magic Kingdom will break down. Now you can choose among some things
in the game, you don't have to take them in a special order. To do this you
need to change out Frog from your party so you don't have him and then talk
to him at the end of time(where the characters are located, you can't
travel more than 3 at the same time at the end of time, remember?). He'll
tell you about the Hero's Grave. The legend lives on; When Frog was a young
swordsman his real name was Glenn. Frog/Glenn had a master named Cyrus.
Cyrus and Frog were near friends and they fought together to protect the
kingdom. But one day, the kingdom was threated by Magus(evil wizard) and
Cyrus and Glenn had to protect the king. Glenn survived. He was turned into
a Frog by Magus and knocked out to unconcsiousness.

(If you've played the game, you've seen the cinema sequence, which is a
much better explanation. I love that cinema sequence, it's just soooo
great. This is the best part of the game, at least that's what I think. I
love this story, no I love everything about Frog/Glenn and Cyrus!!!)

Now, 15 years later, Frog decides to go back to his old friend Cyrus's
grave.

Unknown of what waits, you and your party walks into the ruins of what was
a splendid church before. In here, you don't know that there will be a
mighty sword and a lot of enemies. But before you can walk into the ruins,
you need to get it repaired because it's full of trashed matrial, deep
holes that are like natural pits, etc. You might need to change time from
600 to AD 1000/and vice versa to get this working: first you must go to
Choras Cafe, there you'll find a carpenter but he has no tools. Then go to
Choras Inn and talk to the guy there. He'll lend you his tools, if you go
to his house. When you have the tools, go back to the guy at the bar. He'll
take the tools and go back to work. Head to his residence and the workers
there will team up and repair the ruins(a bit). After a while, go to the
ruins. You'll see that the carpenters repaired a bit but there is still
more to do. But thanks to all ghosts and creeps in there, they can't keep
on working. You need to slay a few and then go back to the house. Talk to
the carpenters and have them working again. You might need to pay 2000 G.
You might need to defeat more enemies and pay more money to the carpenters.
Don't worry, it will all be worth it, trust me! After everything is finally
finished, go back into the ruins for real this time. Be sure to have Frog
in your party.

=========================================
IMPORTANT!!!! >ABOUT THE MAGICAL BOXES<
=========================================
In here(Northern Ruins), you'll fight many dangerous enemies so I suggest
you powered up your level until you feel safe enough to be in here.
Investigate the ruins and you'll find some strange boxes. The pendant will
react. Now a message will say something like "Do you want to take out the
contents?"

SAY NO!!!!

This is a very important piece. If you pick it out, you will be sorry.
Inside you'll only find a quite good weopon. But if you say no instead and
"wait a few hundred years" by travelling back to AD 1000 by end of time and
you go backt to the same place, you'll find out that in the same treasure
chest you didn't open the contents will have been powered up and the new
weopon is much better. Now you can take that weopon and also the other one
back in AD 600. So why can't you take it in the past then(600 AD)? Because
then it will be gone in AD 1000. See? So go to AD 600, investigate the
ruins, say "NO" to all boxes and then travel abck to AD 1000, take out the
contents and after that, go back to AD 600 and take the contents. Thanks to
this, you'll get better weopons plus the ones you were out for before.
You'll also find Marle's ultimate weopon here and the strongest armor you
can have(except Prism Dress), Moon Armor.

To powerup the masamune so you get the Masamune II you need to have Frog in
your party and go to the grave in there. Then Cyrus spirit will set free
and talk to Frog. After a nice cinema sequence, the masamune will be
powered up: YOU KNOW HAVE FROG'S ULTIMATE WEOPON!!!!!!

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
ROBO'S ULTIMATE ARMS: TERRA AND CRISIS
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
To get Robo's ultimate weopons, you must play a bit into the game first.
The first time you can get it when you can choose among the scenarios in
the game. But I suggest you take this section last because the enemies are
quite dangerous and then it could be good that you've powered up your
levels and stuff before you do this.

To ger Robo's weopons, talk to him in end of time. He'll tell you about his
birthplace "Geno Dome". Travel to AD 2300. Then here search for an island
with your ship and enter the dome. Remember, Robo must be in the party.

Info about the Geno Dome:

This place is huge. It's a sort of maze with amazingly many enemies, hard
battles, mini bosses, treasure chests, etc. Before you go here, be sure to
have goods like mid tonic, mid ethers, full tonic, good equipment and maybe
most important; time. This place is so big it will take quite long to
finish it so if you're in a hurry, don't play this section. Oh well.

----------
GENO DOME
----------
Investigate the Dome with the strongest characters you have, plus Robo. Let
Robo fix the computer in the beginning and enter the dome. You can use the
chute in the corner here whenever you want to return to the dome's
entrance. Now, keep going in here, searching everything. At one moment,
Robo will fight his girlfriend(?) that have been reprogrammed by the evil
motherbrain. When Robo finally win this sad fight :( Atropos XR(the robot)
gives Robo a nice ribbon and disappears. Then go on. When you come to the
Mother Brain, defeat her quickly because the computer is loading and
powering up all the time, so it just gets stronger and stronger. Use
Luminaire etc. When you finished the boss, you get the two weopons.
Remember, the dome is big so there's no need to be in a hurry.

The Terra Arm is always strong and the best overall weoponf for Robo. But
when your hp are lower than 10(Robo's) the crisis arm will powerup and get
very mighty! Check it out sometime!

YOU GOT ROBO'S ULTIMATE WEOPONS!!!!!

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
MARLE'S ULTIMATE BOW: VALKERYE
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
You get Marle's ultimate weopon at the same place where you get frog's, at
the Northern Ruins. If you want to know how to get it, "check the Frog's
ultimate weopon section" above and read about powering up the magic boxes.
There's how to get the ultimate weopon!

YOU GOT MARLE'S ULTIMATE WEOPON!!!!!

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
CRONO'S ULTIMATE SWORD: RAINBOW
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
Ok, Crono's ultimate sword is somewhat related with Lucca's ultimate weopon
also. There is a link between them because you need the same "magic
shell"(the materiel) to create it. What I'm talking about is the rainbow
shell and the sun stone.

It's quite complicated to get the stones because you need to beat several
bosses, stages, etc. But it's worth it.(And also, it's a part of the game!)
I divide finding Lucca and Crono's way to the weopons in four parts. I
suggest you find the sun stone before the rainbow shell, because you get
better weopons then. Just follow this faq step by step.

======================
PART 1: The sunstone
======================
To do this, you need to at least have the epoch ready for flying as you
want(after you defeated dalton plus at the blackbird).

Go to 2300 AD. Fly around until you find a small island with a cave called
"Sun Palace". In here will be a very "fiery" boss, it's the son of sun!
He'll use strong fire attacks. Before you fight him you might want to get
some protection(good armors). If you think you might need it, go to BC.
65.000.000. Go to "Hunting range" and collect some fangs, petals, horns,
etc. and trade them for strong armors that can take fire(like Red vest,
ruby vest or the best Ruby Armor) and use them against the boss. Equip them
and you'll be better prepared for the boss. Go back to Son of Sun and fight
him. You'll see a core and six flames around him. Now hit the flames(not
the core). If you hit the right one, he'll die a little. If you picked the
wrong one(5/6 chance) he'll cast flare. Thanks to the armors you
equipped(ruby armor) the damage won't be severe. Keep hitting the right
flame until the boss dies. This is the only way to defeat him, you can't
use any magics! After you defeated the boss, cross the bridge and pick up
the moon stone.

======================
Part 2: Uploading it
======================

Take it back to the sun keep in 65.000.000 BC and leave it at the sun
keep(small island at the west). If you leave it here the power will be
regained because you travel back to 1000 AD and then the sun would've been
shining on it for 65.000.000 years. When you go back to AD 2300 you find
out that the Sun Stone was stolen in year 1000 AD. Go back to AD 1000 to
find the culprit! You see a house where some shining stars stream out from.
Could it be that the sun stone is there?!? Go down and talk to the owner.
He'll say he doesn't know anything about "some sun stone". What to do now?
Go to snail stop at the same village and talk to the kilwala café owner.
He'll sell you a Jerky for 9999(weird, why not just 10000?). Buy it and
head to AD 600. Go back to the same house where the sun was shining. Talk
to the woman and GIVE her the jerky(seems nuts, huh! Just giving away 10000
like that?). Now go back to AD 1000. The housekeeper will give you the
stone back. Why? Well, the reason is because his grand-mother -"- -"-
taught her kids good manners and not to steal and then the influence was
that the dude was honest when you came back. You got the Sun stone, Yay!!!

Put it back in the Sun keep and head back to AD 2300. The sun stone will
now be full-loaded. With this sun, you can create Lucca's best
weopon(Wondershot) and you'll also get an accessory.

YOU GOT LUCCA'S BEST WEOPON!!!

==================================
Part 3: Getting the rainbow shell
==================================
Ok, now you got a bit of the sun stone you need to make Crono's nice
weopon, but you still need more. You need to obtain the mighty shell.
Of course you can only get it after you defeated Dalton Plus(blackbird) and
after The magic kingdom was destroyed.

Go and talk to Gaspar at the end of time and you'll know what's up. You can
put Marle in your party now already because she'll be needed later(cause of
the castle). Then go to AD 600 and head for the café. Go talk to Toma, the
adventurer. He'll talk some about that shell and give you the "Toma's pop".
Then go to AD 1000 and head to west cape, to see Toma's grave. Stand next
to the grave and pour "Toma's pop" on it with pressing button. When you do
this, Toma's spirit will set free(like Cyrus at Hero's grave). He'll tell
you where the treasure is and open up the cave. Go to the island and enter
the cave.

Surprise!!! Your old friends, the reptites still live in this cave, as a
hideout. They've been hiding in here for 65.000.000 years and now you
discovered their secret lair "Giant's Claw". Go into the cave and search
it. The cave is not that big, but you have to fight a few enemies. At the
end you'll fight Rust Tyrano, if you remember that big dinosaur-monster,
this is one of that sort, just a little stronger. You might want to equip
your party with strong fire-defending armors(like red vest, ruby armor,
etc.) As the first dinosaur, this one is also counting down from 5 til 0,
until he makes his breath-attack. I'd recommend having Marle, Crono and
Magus in your party. Let Marle heal and Magus/Crono make some powerful
spells. After the boss you find the rainbow shell in the background. When
you're about to bring it back you find it's very heavy, definitely to heavy
to carry. You will be teleported back to the castle to get help.

Go back to AD 1000 to see what happened. You'll find out that the king is
being tricked by the chancellor, accused of stealing from the treasure
chamber. The rainbow shell is gone, and that's why the king's accused. If
you can find the shell and prove for the judges that the rainbow shell is
still there, the king will be released.

Go down to the basement and you'll find some new stairs that wasn't there
before in the castle. Take all the treasures you find. You notice one chest
that won't badge? Well, keep playing and everything will be fine. Follow
them. You have to make some fights but the enemies are really weak. At the
end of the tunnel, you find the rainbow shell. Take a piece of it and
return to the trial. You'll prove that the king's innocent. Then the
chancellor will turn into a boss, Yakra XIII. You must fight the boss, do
your best because he is pretty tough and he has a lot of hp. When you win,
you get the "yakra key". You can use that key on the chest that you
couldn't open before. And guess what's inside: the chancellor!!
(You don't need to set the chancellor free if you don't want).

====================
Part 4: The weopon
====================
Go to the rainbow shell and find Melchior's there. He'll create strong
armors and most important of all, the rainbow sword(because you got the sun
stone). You'll also be choosing among three prism helmets or a prism dress.
I usually take the prism dress instead of the three helmets, because I
think the dress is better. The helmets get surpassed by some other helmets
later, but the dress holds forever(I mean it's the best for Marle). But
don't bother, you can steal all of these stuff later in the game so take
whatever you want, the important thing is the sword you get.

Aooooh!! You got the rainbow sword, cool huh! I love this blade, it's so
nice!

YOU GOT CRONO'S ULTIMATE WEOPON!!!

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
MAGUS'S ULTIMATE SICKLE: DOOMSICKLE
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
Magus ultimate weopon is actually hidden somewhere, and it's not easy to
find without some help(I found it by a co-incident). Meanwhile you're
looking for the Doom Sickle you'll find a lot of other weopons/armors here.
You can take them but we're in for the Doom Sickle.

As usual you need to have defeated Dalton Plus at the blackbird(so you have
the epoch).

Talk to Gaspar at the end of time and he'll show you a new place in 600.

Go to AD 600 and head for Ozzie's fort. I suggest you have Magus in your
party because the storyline will get a little better(you know Magus was a
Ozzie's homie before, but now he turned to the right side, so Magus and
Ozzie will have a little chat which is better than nothing). Also you're
about to find his weopon so I think it's fair to hook him up in your party.

As you enter the castle, you soon find Ozzie and his goons Slash and Flea.
First you got to fight them one on one, but after you defeated Slash and
Flea once, you have to fight them all together! They are a bit stronger now
and can use more dangerous attacks. I suggest you have Ayla in your party,
then you can steal the valuable hat "Ozzie Pants" from Ozzie.(You can also
charm the weopon "Slasher 2" from Slash but it's not that good as the
rainbow-sword). When you beat them, keep going into the castle. Pretty soon
you'll find Ozzie standing there, winding a chain that leads to traps. As
you step under the axes they'll hit you several times and you'll lose all
your energy but 1 hp. So try to keep out of it, ok? Run quickly under it to
the other side. Keep running through the castle. You also find Ozzie in a
room where a treasure is, with an axe above. Don't take the treasure chest,
it's just a trap that Ozzie laid because the guillotine cuts your hp down
to 1. Instead keep running on and Ozzie will flee. In this room you'll find
the Doom Sickle. Look at the end of the room where the wall is. Search the
wall down and you'll find a passage way to the secret room where a lot of
treasures are.
You find the Doom Sickle, Gloom Cape, Gloom Helm.

YOU GOT MAGUS' ULTIMATE WEOPON!!!!

(To end the dungeon you just have to go on and then fight Ozzie at the end.
He'll cover himself with a solid ice block, seems impossible to shatter.
But hit some of the switches around instead. If you hit the right one a cat
will appear and send Ozzie to death. Keep playing, you'll find out pretty
soon).

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0oo0o0o0o0o0o0oo0o0o0o0o0oo
YOU GOT EVERYONE'S GREATEST WEOPONS NOW!!!       0_0   :)

C: Armors
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
The armors are real good to have. They protect the characters a lot from
all damage and sometimes they have different abilities like some are
cutting down lighting damage, other takes down fire damage, etc. If I made
any mistake here(it's not easy to keep control over all these armors) you
can mail me at lufia3@hotmail.com and tell me what's wrong. Of course I'll
edit it. Thanks, and enjoy the armor section!

The ultimate armors for each character is:

Frog---Moon armor
Robo---Nova Armor
Magus--Gloom cape
Crono--Nova Armor
Lucca--Taban Suit/Nova armor
Ayla---Nova Armor
Marle--Prism Dress

///////
Frog:
\\\\\\\
To Find the Moon Armor you need to go to the northern ruins(hero's grave,
where Cyrus is buried). From here you need to find the magical boxes, say
no when it's asking you about the contents and then travel back to AD 1000
to open the treasure chests. You find that Nova Armor have been powered up
to Moon armor. Got any questions, problems? Then check Frog's
masamune(ultimate sword) section, there's more about the powering up of
weopons. Equip Frog with it.

//////
Robo:
\\\\\\
The Nova Armor is a quite good armor, the best one you can get many
of(there's only one moon armor in the whole game). To get the Nova Armor
you need to go to the Black Omen(that big black flying ship, doesn't matter
what time it is) and you need to charm the big enemy GOON, using Ayla's
special tech. If you're lucky you got a Nova Armor. If not, try again.
Equip Robo with the Nova armor because he needs the defense and there sure
is no better armor for him(except moon armor but that one is already
equipped for another fella).

///////
Magus:
\\\\\\\
The Gloom Cape is just about as good as the Moon Armor. The Gloom Cape is
better than the Nova armor, but just a little. You find the gloom cape in
Ozzie's castle(AD 600) in a hidden room(You find Ozzie in a room where a
fake treasure is, with an axe above. Don't take the treasure chest, it's
just a trap that Ozzie laid because the guillotine will cut your energy.
Instead keep running on and Ozzie will flee. In this room you'll find the
Doom Sickle. Look at the end of the room where the wall is. Search the wall
down and you'll find a way to the secret room where a lot of treasures are.
You find the Doom Sickle, Gloom Cape, Gloom Helm.) Equip Magus with the
Gloom Cape.

///////
Crono:
///////
To get Crono's armor, just do the same as for Robo(go to black omen and
charm goon to get the nova armor).

(((((((
Lucca:
)))))))
Lucca got two avarage armors to choose among: the taban suit or the nova
armor. The Nova armor is slightly stronger(protects more) but the Taban
Suit(that was made by her own father) increases the speed with 3+ "Fire
guard up". It's up to you to choose which one you want to use.

To get the Nova armor you just do exactly as in Robo's section(charm the
enemy goon inside the black omen). To get the Taban Suit you need to go to
Lucca's house and talk to her father after a long while in the game. He'll
give you the Taban Suit.

((((((
Ayla:
))))))
Charm the goon inside black omen. You'll get the nova armor.

(((((((
Marle:
)))))))
You can get the prism dress in two ways; either you steal it from the boss
Zeal inside black omen; or you choose to create it by the rainbow-shells
power instead of the three helmets, you're choice. If you choose the prism
dress instead of the helmets, you already got it. If not, go to the black
omen(hope you're prepared and stocked up with items, this place is tough)
and head for the boss. Have Ayla in your party and charm his body. You'll
get the prism dress(really REALLY good armor!).

YOU GOT ALL THE BEST ARMORS!!!!

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
D: Helmets
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Helmets can be good to have, definitely. They protect a bit and if you
don't think you need the helmets, you can always sell 'em for money :)
Just kidding, of course you need the helmets. Here are the ultimate helmets
you can get, for each person. Enjoy! Oh another thing; if you see
anything's wrong here(hope not) you can always mail and tell me. Thanks.

And the ultimate helmets for each character is:

Crono---Prism helmet/vigil hat
Marle---Ozzie Pants
Ayla----Prism helmet
Lucca---Haste helmet/prism helm
Magus---Gloom helmet
Robo----Prism helmet/vigil hat
Frog----Prism helmet/vigil hat

@@@@@@@
Crono:
@@@@@@@
Crono needs a strong defending helm, either Vigil hat or Prism helmet.
Choose which one you want. You find the Vigil hat in the black omen, or you
can buy it in a church in AD 1000 in Fiona's Shrine(if you replanted the
dead forest). And you can also find it in a treasure chest in Geno
dome(which is more trouble than buying it). The prism helmet you gain
either if you choose the three p.helmets when creating them from the
rainbow shell or you can steal it from the boss Zeal at the black omen.
Equip anyone you like.

%%%%%%%
Marle:
%%%%%%%
You want to get the Ozzie pants? Well then, go to Ozzie's castle, have Ayla
in your party, fight the boss when they are three and steal the Ozzie pants
from Ozzie. You got it! The Ozzie pants got great defense but it'll start
you crazy in the beginning of the battle. But don't worry, after you're hit
you'll be normal with a great helm on ya!

++++++
Ayla:
++++++
The same as for Crono(the vigil hat or the prism helm). Check out his
section.

=======
Lucca:
=======
Thanks to Lucca because she's so slow(no offence) she might need the haste
helmet but the prism helm will also do. The haste helmet is plain good
because it's pretty strong plus it will increase the speed rate by 50% in
battle(cool huh!). It's a little weaker than the p.helm, but equip which
one you want. You find the haste helmet in a treasure chest in Black omen.
And the p.helmet you know how/where to get(just check another dude's
section).

(((((((
Magus:
)))))))
Magus might want his own helmet, that was DESIGNED for him. It's also a
good helmet, about as good as the vigil hat, prism helm, and the ozzie
pants. You find the cool helm inside Ozzie's castle, hidden in a secret
room. You find Ozzie in a room where a fake treasure is, with an guillotine
is above. Don't take the treasure chest, it's just a trap that Ozzie laid
because the guillotine will cut your energy. Instead run on and Ozzie will
flee. In this room you'll find the gloom helm. Look at the end of the room
where the wall is. Search the wall down and you'll find a way to the secret
room where a lot of treasures are.
You find the Gloom Helm.) Equip Magus with it.

""""""
Robo:
""""""
You do exactly as in Crono's section.

,,,,,,
Frog:
,,,,,,
And you do exactly as in Robo's section(like Crono's).

WHOOOOO-HOHOHOOOOOO!!! You got all the amazing helmets, right?

£££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££
E: Summary
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
(This section is more like a summary of the stuff and some chatting around
the weopons, like how to use them, what's good with them, etc.)

Well, if you did everything like this faq now, you should have all the
ultimate stuff in the game. Cool huh! If something doesn't work out, just
mail and tell me, I'd love to help if I can. Figuring about the best weopon
of all the ultimate weopons would be Wondershot Lucca has. It's the
strongest one, even stronger than the rainbow sword Crono has. But if you
count Ayla's fists as a weopon, I guess that's the strongest one. But it
all depends on if the character gets a double hit(when the character either
strikes or shoots two hits instead of one, I bet you've seen it sometime).

The best weopon's wondershot.

So what's the best helmet then? Well I'd say it's the prism helmet, even if
it's not the best one. How come?!? Well it serves you a long time(from when
you get it from Melchior) and it's quite strong even when the better
helmets appear. Another advantage is that every character can have it. And
there are no weaknesses with it(just that there are a few helmets that are
slightly stronger).

So the best armor?!?

It's a tough competition between Moon armor and Prism Dress, but I'd vote
for the P.Dress. The defence is solid, and you also get 1/3 cut of all
magical attacks on ya. It's really good.

So does the ultimate weopons/armors really increase the characters'
strength in battle?

YES, of course. Just try to beat Lavos using the worst weopons/armors and
then try with the best ones.
