Ending 6: The Last Stand

Learn how to trigger Chrono Cross's Ending 6: The Last Stand by defeating the Time Devourer at a specific point in the game, right after rescuing Riddel.

Alright, so you're aiming for Ending 6, huh? This one's called "The Last Stand," and it's a bit of a tricky one to snag because you have to do it within a *very* specific window. Seriously, it's a tiny timeframe!

Here's the deal: you need to defeat the Time Devourer, but only *after* you've rescued Riddel. The catch? You can't have met up with the crew at Hermit's Hideaway yet. If you miss this window, you'll have to wait until your next New Game Plus playthrough.

So, what you'll want to do is backtrack to Opassa Beach. Once you're there, use the Time Egg to summon the final boss. Go ahead and give it everything you've got! If you're struggling with the fight itself, don't worry, there's a dedicated page that can help you out with the boss mechanics.

For this ending, your party might feel a little limited, kind of like with Ending 5. But don't sweat it, you've still got some solid options. A good setup would be Lynx, Sprigg (especially if you've got some endgame Doppelgang monsters ready to go), and Harle. Plus, you'll have Orcha and Grobyc joining the fray, so you're not exactly underpowered.

The ending itself kicks off in Viper Manor, showing General Viper rallying his troops for an offensive – just a heads-up, this isn't Ending 7, so don't get them confused! After that, the scene shifts to the S.S. Invincible, where a fierce battle is unfolding. Meanwhile, things are also heating up over in Marbule…
