Learn how to defeat the tough trio of Flea, Ozzie, and Slash in Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition and solve the Dreamer's Sarong riddle.

Alright, so you've made it to a pretty interesting part of the game where you'll face off against a familiar trio: Flea, Ozzie, and Slash. Don't let their past appearances fool you; they can still pack a punch, and there's a tricky riddle to solve afterward. Let's break it down!

Boss Battle: Flea, Ozzie, and Slash

These three might not be the absolute strongest bosses you've faced, but there's a catch: Ozzie's 'Max Defense' ability. This isn't a direct damage threat, but it makes your party unable to damage them. So, while they're in this defensive stance, just keep up with standard attacks and accept that you'll be missing.

Strategy & Tips:

  • Preparation is Key: Before the fight, make sure to equip your party members with Red Brooches. This is crucial to protect against Flea's 'The Stare' attack, which can confuse your characters and really mess up your planned strategy.
  • Target Priority: Your main target should be Ozzie. He's the one who uses 'Max Defense.' While he's using it, you can't damage the enemy, so just keep attacking and missing. It's the perfect time to build up your Elemental Power for emergency healing.
  • Watch Out for Omega Elements: Towards the end of their attack patterns, all three can unleash 'Omega Elements.' These hit hard, but if you've been keeping your party's HP topped up, they shouldn't be too much of a problem.
  • Consider 'Diminish': If the damage starts piling up and you're struggling to keep everyone healed, casting 'Diminish' can be a lifesaver. It halves the damage from Elements, giving you a bit more breathing room before you go back to whacking them with standard attacks.
  • Stealing Opportunity: If you're a completionist and want to snag some rare gear, try to steal from Flea. The main prize here is the 'Flea Vest.'

Once you manage to defeat this formidable trio, you'll be rewarded with three pieces of rare gear: the 'Slasher' (or 'Third Eye'), 'Ozzie Pants,' and the 'Dreamer's Sash.'

How to Obtain the Dreamer’s Sarong (The Riddle Game)

After the boss fight, you'll need to speak to the giant blob again. This starts a riddle game where the blob thinks of a random number between 1 and 20. You'll have four attempts to guess it correctly.

Gameplay:

  • To submit your guess, you need to run a specific number of laps around the room. For example, if you think the answer is 4, you run 4 laps and then talk to the blob.
  • The blob will give you hints after the first three guesses. If your guess isn't right, it might tell you to
