Endings
Chrono Trigger! You can see different endings depending on
when and how you fight Lavos. During your first game it will be
hard to get some of the endings, since your attack and defense
won't be strong enough. But in New Game+, you will be able to
kill Lavos whenever you wish... Note: there are no frames so
you can print this page without any trouble.
1. The bad ending:
Lose to Lavos in any time period, any method of getting to him. If
you lose the fight against Lavos, you see Lavos coming out of the
earth, the command center in the future collapses.
2. Programmers ending:
Beat Lavos either at the Ocean Palace, or before you rescue Queen
Leene in 600 AD. You end up at the End of Time. Each of the
characters you see represent actual members of the Chrono Trigger
development team. They say a variety of things: from saying hello to
their family, jokes about how long and hard they worked, boasting
about what they did, etc. One of them says: "Legendary
Programming waiting for that Special Someone. Keep those cards
and letters coming."
3. Frog & Leene ending:
Beat Lavos right after coming back from 600 AD and saving the
Queen. You end up at the Fair. Some people tell Marle she is
dressing normally, while others say she is in a costume. When at the
Castle, the King says they have just found a 400 year old wedding
movie. Frog and Queen Leene (or a descendent) are married, and
Marle's father is a frog.
4. Monster slapstick ending:
Beat Lavos right after entering the End of Time through the bucket.
During the credits a Nu and a Ribbit are chasing each other and
doing various antics. The Nu keeps falling asleep while the Ribbit is
harassing it. "THE END" has two 'Z's above it.
5. Robo / Tata ending:
Beat Lavos after arriving in 600 AD, right after returning from 2300
AD. The first scene shows Robo and his wife (or girlfriend) in front
of the Leene Bell in the Future. The next scene shows Tata sitting on
the throne with King Guardia & Leene standing around. Tata jumps
off the throne, runs after Magus, only to find Crono, Marle, and
Lucca laughing at him.
6. War Ending:
Beat Lavos right after getting the Hero Medal from Tata. During the
credits, there are a number of clips of scenes with the various
characters. Most are about scenes that you wouldn't see and
characters you haven't met: Crono, Marle, and Lucca coming out of
the closet in the monster village; Kino & Ayla chasing reptites;
Magus at the cove with his three henchmen; King Guardia & Queen
Leene; Frog in the Cursed Woods; and at the end Robo running
across the screen.
7. Cast of Characters:
Beat Lavos right after returning from getting the Red Stone in
65,000,000 BC. While the credits are rolling, various still
characters are displayed singular or in groups around the credits.
8. Frog vs. Magus:
Beat Lavos right after Frog releases the power of the Masamune in
600 AD. During the credits you see scenes of Frog. He defeats each
of Magus' fiends, and then goes after Magus himself. After the battle
with Magus, you see Frog standing on top of the statue above the
gate to Magus' castle.
9. Reptite ending:
Beat Lavos right after defeating Magus. The opening scene is
repeated, except that Crono and his Mother are Reptites! When you
go to the Millennial Fair, everyone there are reptites as well, except
for the Green Jogger, who is human. After the credits, Azala is alone
on the screen, and "THE END" drops on her.
10. Frog and Magus II:
Beat Lavos right after defeating Azala in 65,000,000 BC. During the
credits, you see a scene of Frog approaching a statue with two
chests.You also see a number of scenes with Magus, Schala, and
Janus.
11. Marle and Lucca's slideshow:
Beat Lavos after Schala opens the sealed door in 12,000 BC. Do not
power up the pendant though.
12. Millennial Fair Moonlight Parade (without Crono and Magus):
Beat Lavos right after beating Magus. If you defeat Magus, he tells
you that you have released the curse on the Frog. However, during
the rest of the game, Frog looks the same. If you use the bucket to
beat Lavos right after killing Magus, but without restoring Crono,
you end up at the Millennial Fair similar to the ending if you don't
fight Magus. However, the only character you see in the middle part
of the square is Lucca. When you go into the north part of the fair,
the other characters (except for Crono and Magus, of course) come
out of the time gate. Except that Frog is now human, and Lucca
thinks he is quite a hunk! The other characters go back for Crono,
and Lucca & Marle go to see the king hand the bell. Then they leave
on Epoch while the king is stuck trying to hang the bell (similar to
the "Family Reunion" ending ) If you crashed into Lavos with
Epoch, the ending you get is almost the same as the regular "No
Crono" ending, except that Magus doesn't appear.
13. Millennial Fair Moonlight Parade (without Crono, but with Magus):
Beat Lavos after teaming with Magus. If you beat Lavos before you
restore Crono, you end up at the End of Time. Everyone is lying on
the ground. You can control the characters, and when you talk the
Guru, and he tells everyone that the gate is closing and they have to
leave. All the other characters except Lucca and Marle leave to their
respective times. Marle arrives at the Fair, walks in the Moonlight
Parade by her self. She then sees the team members throughout the
fair crowd. When she goes back to the north part of the fair, they are
all there. The other characters go back for Crono, and Marle sees
her father, who asks her to install the new bell he has made in her
honor. She is carried off by the balloons while the credits roll. She
lands near a tree like the one on Death Peak, and in the distance you
can see Crono coming. Marle runs towards him and the screen fades
to black.
14. Millennial Fair Moonlight Parade (with Crono, but without Magus):
Beat Lavos after beating Magus and saving Crono. If you killed
Magus, he doesn't appear in this ending, but the rest is pretty much
the same as the next ending. Also, if you didn't get a clone before
Crono is killed, talk to the Keeper and he will tell you to go to the
fair.
15. Millennial Fair Moonlight Parade (with Crono and Magus):
Beat Lavos after teaming with Magus and saving Crono. If you
defeat Lavos after restoring Crono, the opening scene of the game is
shown, except that it is a soldier waking Crono up, saying he will be
executed. The king pretends to be upset, but then praises him for
saving the past, present, and future. If you let the Chancellor out of
the chest after the "Rainbow Shell" incident, he will be there;
otherwise, it will be Pierre, the lawyer. Several characters appear
(Doan, King Guardia from 600 AD, & Kino) saying what the team
members had done. Marle realizes that these characters are her
ancestors and descendants. After the Moonlight Parade at the fair,
the characters assemble at the north side of the fair grounds and
leave.
If you didn't crash Epoch into Lavos, then Crono's cat jumps into the
time gate, followed by Crono's mother. If you got extra cats, they all
jump in together. Crono, Lucca, and Marle take the Epoch to find
them. Meanwhile, the king is stuck trying to hang the Nadia Bell.
If you crashed Epoch into Lavos, then the gate closes after the team
members leave, and Marle, Lucca, and Crono talk to the King, who
shows the Nadia Bell. Marle ends up holding some balloons and
starts to float away. Crono jumps on, and the two of them float away
while the credits roll.
Note: Variations on the Moonlight Parade Endings:
The Fair endings will vary slightly depending on whether or not you
used the Epoch to get to Lavos, and whether or not you saved Lara
from being crippled. It also depends on how many cats you have at
Crono's house.
