Chrono Trigger - Ch. 10 - The Hero Appears
0CHAPTER 10 - THE HERO APPEARS
In 600 A.D. head through Truce Canyon. Talk to the townspeople to learn about the legendary hero, and go to Zenan Bridge to learn that they need supplies. Head through Guardia Forest and into Guardia Castle. Talk to the people there to find out the king was injured fighting Magus' army, then head into the kitchen and talk to the chef. Let the dialogue play out, then leave the kitchen and head back to the entrance. He'll come running in to give you some Jerky for the soldiers on Zenan Bridge and a Power Tab for your troubles.
Take the jerky to the Knight Captain at the entrance of Zenan Bridge and offer him the jerky. The food rations will give him brightened spirits, but moments after news of a new uprising comes to light. Magus's forces are pushing forward and breaking through - the knight captain orders his remaining men to stand guard, for they have no other choice. If you speak to him, he'll ask for your assistance; if you choose to help him you will receive a Gold Helm.
As you progress across the bridge, you'll watch several cutscenes. In the first, Deceased will kill Guardia soldiers - their corpses will disappear, and Ozzie will make an entrance, say a few words, and then pit you against the demons.
This first group has two Deceased and Ozzie. The trick is to either use some powerful magic attacks, since the Deceased are resistant to physical, or simply focus your energy on Ozzie. Once Ozzie's spell has been broken, the Deceased will simply disappear. There is no difference doing it one way or the other, except that killing Ozzie can sometimes be easier than spending 1-6 turns facing off against the Deceased.
Continue along the bridge to the left, walk in between the two corpses. Ozzie will turn the corpses into Deceased and begin another battle, this time with an additional foe. Again, strike at Ozzie for the quick victory .
Heal up, and get ready to fight a powerful, complicated boss. Ozzie will threaten you, saying, "Thats IT! Now you're finished!" Your second party member will taunt back, and then Ozzie will summon the boss behind you - Zombor, an abomination made up of deceased!
For the head, have Marle use ice and Robo use laser.
For the body, have Lucca use fire and Crono use lightning.
Afterwards, head to the small town just south of the bridge. If you remembered to grab the Naga-ette Bromide in the Cathedral in 'The Queen is Gone' or feel like going back for it, go in the northern most residence of the village just after Zenan Bridge. You'll notice the chest in the top center of the room with the glowing blue dot - if you try to open it, it will say it is locked. Speak with the old man near the table, and trade him the Naga-ette Bromide for "something good." The old man will unlock the drawer, and you'll be able to open it; inside you'll find a Magic Tab.
Head south to Porre, stopping by Fiona's villa to see what's going on with her. Grab the two Mid Ethers before heading down to the Porre market.
At Porre Market you'll find a Power Tab on the floor, on the left side of the room. Head into the Cursed Woods to the north west if you like. At this point you'll have access to either the Dorino Market or the Porre Market; go to one to gear up. You might be interested in the Gold Suits and Berets available in Porre, so don't leave town without checking first!
In the Cursed Woods, there's a sign to the left that says no trespassing, gribbit. Can toads speak? You'll find a Mid Tonic and a Shelter in the chests as you head north. If you attack the snakes here, they'll eat the frogs to restore health, which is handy since the snakes have lower defense and are easier to defeat without using abilities. As you approach the top, you'll hear a rustling sound. There's a single green bush in the center of the area, and it rustles every once in a while. Very peculiar! If you walk around it, you might notice that you can climb down the backside where a ladder exists.
A bedroom? In the middle of a forest? What is this? Grab the MagicScarf in the apple-like chest in the top right, then head over to the left side. A voice will yell down at you, asking who's there. Frog will drop from the ceiling and be as surprised to see you as you are to see him. Upon word of the king, he will walk to the corner and think to himself, saying "'Tis nary a thing I canst do... Please be on thy way." He will sit there, and sad music will begin to play. If you speak to him again, he will claim he's no hero, and won't be able to help you.
Leave him be, for there's nothing you can do here at the moment. It's time to restore his confidence!
