Decide between Nikki, Pierre, or Guile before infiltrating Viper Manor in Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition. Learn how to recruit each character and their unique entry path.
Alright, so you're gearing up to storm Viper Manor, huh? This is a pretty crucial decision point in Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition because who you bring along can actually change how you get into the place. Let's break down your options so you can pick the best buddy for the job!
If you Choose Nikki
First things first, you'll need to recruit Nikki. Head over to the big ship docked at the western harbor in Termina. Make your way to the backstage area and find the person chilling in the top-right corner. Miki will pop in, and bam! You're roped into her plan. Just agree to help her out.
Once that's sorted, hop back onto the world map and set your sights on Shadow Forest, way over to the east. Keep pushing west until you stumble upon Nikki, who's in a bit of a pickle with some monsters. Take care of them, then follow him into the waterfall cave. If you've done this right, he'll join your party!
With Nikki in tow, you'll be heading into Viper Manor through the underground tunnel. This path is pretty straightforward once you've got him.
If you Choose Pierre
To get Pierre on your team, you'll want to find the smithy in Termina. From the town entrance, go east one screen, then north one screen. The smithy is there, and you'll need to sneak around to the back room to find Pierre.
After chatting with him, head out towards the back garden. There's a kid running around – talk to them to snag the Hero’s Medal. Now, take that medal back and show it to Pierre.
Pierre's path into Viper Manor involves barging right through the front gate. Honestly, you might wonder if he was even worth the trouble for this particular infiltration!
If you Choose Guile
Guile, the mysterious masked dude, can be found chilling at the bar near the Termina town entrance. Just strike up a conversation with him, and he should be convinced to join your crew. That was surprisingly easy, wasn't it?
Choosing Guile means you'll be entering Viper Manor by scaling the nearby cliff. It's a bit more of a direct, dare I say, 'climactic' approach.
