Chrono Trigger (SNES) - Part 12: Sealed Chests & Hero's Grave
2Remember all those chests that were sealed? Well we're going to start getting them now. There's a slightly annoying mechanic, but it makes sense in a way. Some of the chests in 600AD have the option to refuse them, and doing so gets you an upgraded version in the future, where those chests still are.
So we're going to 600AD first
Head to Truce Inn and refuse, then make your way too Guardia Castle and head up the W Tower in the throne room and do the same. Jump in the Epoch and head S to the Elder's House by the desert for two more to refuse. Head to the Magic Cave to the NE and grab the chest (no option to refuse).
I head to the Northern Ruins but realise I probably should get the chests first, so head off to 1000AD.
Nab the Chest in Truce Inn then head for Guardia Castle to begin Marle's sidequest, but we're still going for chests so nab the one here and then head to the Manor for the upgraded 2 chests. Then there's the Magic Cave behind the Black Omen with a dual item chest.
There's a choice to be made at the Forest Ruins. I opt for the Sword, Swallow over the Guardian Helm.
Now it's back to 600AD to head to the Cafe in the SE and speak with the man in orange by the bar to receive Toma's Pop, that he requests you pour on his headstone if he doesn't return home. There's another man to the S who has had his tools stolen as well. Head to 1,000AD and in Chora's Inn talk to the man about his tools and then head into the SW Residence to get the tools form his wife. Head back to 600AD and give the man his tools, and he'll start working on the Northern Ruins. Head into the SW Residence and he'll assemble his crew to start working.
Inside the Northern Ruins the E side will have a repaired floor, so head through the new door and put Frog in your party.
Go back and pay the guy to assemble his crew again and then you can reach Cyrus' Grave through the W door. Cyrus appears and tells Frog that he can rest at ease now, and then Masa and Mune appear and the Masamune gets powered up.
Head back and pay again and again, and finally one more time to unlock the E wing fully. Nab the chest in the W room and op to leave the E one and head through the centre door for now. Make your way to the back and choose to leave the two Sealed Chests.
Now fly to 1,000AD and you'll notice the Norh Ruins has now flourished into Hero's Grave. There's a Magic Tab by Cyrus' Grave and a Power Tab in the first room through the E door. Head through and nab the three Sealed Chests then leave and heal and save up to end the part.
