Your guide to navigating Mount Emerald in Chrono Trigger! Find treasure, defeat enemies, and grab the Prismastone on your way back to the village.

Alright, you've made it to Mount Emerald in 65,000,000 B.C.! It's a bit of a trek, but there's some good stuff to find if you know where to look. Let's get you through it.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, head north and you'll run into a Nu blocking your path. You'll have to fight it – it's called the Nu Guardian. If you're having trouble, definitely check the Bosses section for tips. Once you beat it, it'll move out of the way.
  2. 2
    Head up the ladder you just cleared and take on the Jadewing enemy. After that, go east and climb down another ladder. Keep going down the second ladder you see, and you'll find a chest with 10,000G! Nice!
  3. 3
    Head east across the bridge. More enemies are waiting for you here, so defeat them and grab the Shelter from the chest.
  4. 4
    Climb the next ladder and cross another bridge. There's a chest waiting for you on the other side with an Elixir.
  5. 5
    Now, go down and then up the next two ladders. Follow the path as it winds around the area until you spot the save point in the northeast. It's a good time to save and maybe rest up if you need it.
  6. 6
    From the save point, head west into the next section. Just keep pushing forward, fighting any enemies you encounter. After you deal with the second group of enemies (they're Hercules Beetles and another Jadewing), climb down a ladder. There's a chest right there with an Aeonian Helm.
  7. 7
    Continue heading north and east. Open the next chest you come across to snag a Hi-Potion.
  8. 8
    When you reach the top of this area, look for the eastern chest. Inside, you'll find an Aeonian Suit.
  9. 9
    Now, head west and climb the last ladder to reach the summit. Take out any enemies up here and save at the final save point on the mountain.
  10. 10
    Keep going east into the last area. Head north and you'll find the Prismastone. Grab it!
  11. 11
    With the Prismastone secured, it's time to head back down the mountain. Make your way through the swamp and then return to the village. You're done with Mount Emerald!
Tips
  • Don't forget to grab all the treasure chests – that 10,000G and the Aeonian gear can be really helpful.
  • The Nu Guardian can be a bit tricky, so don't be afraid to use your best attacks or healing items if needed.
  • Save whenever you see a save point, especially before tough fights or after finding good loot.
