Present (1000 A.D.)

Follow the path around the new area, defeating enemies. Walk behind the waterfalls to the northeast corner, then continue north to the next area. Proceed through past dungeons until you reach the cross-shaped room. Take the eastern path to save, then go north to the warp to progress.

In the new cave, follow the path northward. A lava pit blocks the eastern path; head north. Defeat the Dire Rats and take the eastern path (the northern path is blocked by lava). Approach the flame, defeat the Fireball and Dire Rats, then continue north. At the path split, go west into the room. Open the two chests to get an Athenian Water and the Master's Crown, then exit.

Head east and southward. Defeat the Red Ghaj, then head southwest along a hidden path. Pick up the Strength Capsule, then head southeast into a new hidden area. Open the chest at the peak to get a Dreamreaper, then return to the previous room.

Go back through the passage and enter the room to the east. Follow the path northward and east. Defeat enemies and climb down the ladders to the south. When you reach the Fireballs, follow a hidden path in the wall to the southeast and open the chest for a Spellslinger.

Go back out of the passage and continue southwest to the next area. Climb up and down ladders to the north. Where you can climb up two ladders, first go up the west ladder. Check the sparkling spot for a Strength Capsule. Climb back down, then go up the other ladder. Defeat the enemies and climb down the southeast ladder. Open the chest for an Elixir. Climb to the top and enter the next room.

Hit the wall switch to drain the lava. Follow the path southwest and head north to the next room. Go north and climb down the accessible ladder. Enter the small room via the cave opening and hit another wall switch. Exit, climb back up the ladder, then head south and east through the rest of the room. Go through the opening in the southeast corner and enter the next room.

Go north and east, and climb down the first ladder. Collect the Hi-Potion from the chest, then enter the new room. Go east across the land bridge, kill enemies, and step into the warp.

In the grotto area, go east and north to a save point. Rest/save, then continue west and northward through the cave. Ignore the warp that leads outside.

You will be stopped by Dalton. Fight him.

After the battle, go back and rest/save. Continue north and east. Crono will be forced into your party if he isn't already. Set up your party (Magus and Frog are recommended).

In the final area, you will meet Crono's clone and fight the Steel Shade.

After the fight, the clone merges with Crono, permanently increasing his stats. Exit the area.
