Walkthrough

1
Dragon Tank: Focus on defeating the two side creatures first, then attack Lavos's head. A strong line of attackers is recommended.
2
Guardian/Pods: Use Crono's Luminaire or Magus's Dark Matter to damage all three parts simultaneously. A party with Crono and/or Magus is effective.
3
Heckran: This form is resistant to physical attacks. Utilize strong magic spells from your party.
4
Zombor: Prioritize defeating the creature in front of Lavos before attacking Lavos's head with strong attacks.
5
Masa & Mune: Include Crono in your party. Attack normally, and when it stores energy, use Crono's Wind Slash to prevent a powerful attack. Continue attacking to defeat it.
6
Nizbel: Use Crono and/or Magus. Employ Lightning to lower its defense, then attack. Reapply Lightning if its defense recovers.
7
Magus: Ensure Frog is in the party with the Masamune. Frog's attacks lower defense. Attack with the Masamune, and exploit elemental weaknesses based on Lavos's barrier changes. Use any attack when Lavos casts a spell.
8
Black Tyranno/Azala: Equip fire-resistant armor. Focus attacks on the smaller creature first, then attack Lavos's head when its defense is lowered. Be prepared for a powerful fire attack when it counts down to zero.
9
Giga Gaia: Defeat the left creature first to prevent a double attack. Then, concentrate on attacking the head in the middle. The right creature's healing is not a major concern.
10
Lavos (Normal): A party with Crono or Magus, Frog, and Ayla is recommended. Use strong Techs like Crono's Luminaire. Frog should heal the party when HP is low.

After defeating Lavos's final form, you will enter its shell. Use the save point and the Gate to return to the End of Time if you need to restock supplies. Prepare your final party (e.g., Crono, Frog, Magus) before proceeding north through the shell for the ultimate confrontation.

Tips

Heal and change your party between Lavos's forms.
If you arrived via the Black Omen, a Gate to the End of Time may be present. Use the bucket there to return to Lavos's shell.
Equip fire-resistant armor for the Black Tyranno/Azala form.
For the Magus form, exploit elemental weaknesses based on its barrier.
