Of the Gurus of Zeal, only one has a well-defined fate.īelthasar, the Guru of Reason, c onstructed Chronopolis, learned of Schala’s fate and orchestrated Project Kid - an elaborate plan to free her by splitting the universe in two and engineering the creation of an archipelago and its culture over thousands of years. Schala then lay dormant until much later - when Serge ventured to the Darkness Beyond Time and used the Chrono Cross to free her. The storm also brought down Chronopolis’s defense systems, exposing the Frozen Flame to heal Serge who became its Arbiter as designated by the Prometheus Circuit.

Schala heard his crying, and somehow caused a raging magnetic storm that blew Wazuki and the boy to Chronopolis. Serge was eventually wounded by a panther demon. Her mind at this point was being warped by Lavos. Through Belthasar’s probably machinations Schala cloned herself and sent a copy of the baby into the world to be found by Lucca (who at that point was running an orphanage out of her old house). She remained helpless until Project Kid - the plan to save Schala, was well under way. This abomination would someday have the capacity to devour all space-time. There, presumably after its defeat at the hands of your party, Lavos found her and fused with her creating a new being called the Time Devourer. The game’s events are centered around her imprisonment by the remnants of Lavos in the Darkness Beyond Time.ĭuring the Ocean Palace Incident of Chrono Trigger, she was sucked into a dimensional distortion with the ruined Mammon Machine, ending up in the Darkness Beyond Time. Schala has a very important role to play in Chrono Cross. Today we’re going to look at what happened to each of the key players from Trigger and how they may be represented in the DIRECT sequel. The question of whether the heroes of Chrono Trigger are dead or not stems from a bit of uncertainty around the timeline proceeding Chrono Cross as well as the ghostly children in Cross’ Dead Sea. It’s a complicated mosaic of themes and ideologies, but the world itself is firmly rooted in what was introduced in Trigger ( here’s a list to demonstrate). That Cross is a spiritual successor rather than a direct sequel.ĭescribing Cross’ story as “obtuse” would be generous. The more common criticism I hear of Chrono Cross as a follow-up to Chrono Trigger is that the ties that bind are weak.
