Nikki is one of the trickier characters to recruit in Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition, but don't worry, I'll walk you through it! It involves a bit of a journey, so let's get started.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, you'll need to be in Termina. Head to the left side of town and go down the stairs. Look for some pink steps leading up to a green ship – that's where you need to go. Enter the ship and head through the first door you see.
  2. 2
    Inside, talk to the man standing on the left. Shortly after, someone will burst in looking for Nikki. This person will then point you towards the Shadow Forest.
  3. 3
    Exit Termina and make your way east to the Shadow Forest. Follow the path until you find a man trying to sing to a monster. He'll then run off and get attacked by some Cassowaries. You'll need to fight and defeat these Cassowaries.
  4. 4
    After the fight, the man will jump down into an underwater cave. Follow the path around to enter the cave after him.
  5. 5
    Once you meet Nikki in the cave, simply talk to him and accept his offer to join your team. He'll want to infiltrate Vipor Manor with you, which is the next step after he joins.
Tips
  • Remember to approach the enemies to initiate the fight when you encounter them in the Shadow Forest.
  • When prompted, select ‘Sure’ to have Nikki join your team.
