Chrono Trigger/The Millennial Fair: Difference between revisions

----

==Introduction==

After your naming your mute protagonist in the introduction, you'll be treated to a overview of the world map and the millenial fair, and your mother will come wake you up in a scene that will be echoed throughout the game. You'll gain control of a character henceforth to be known as [[../../Characters#Crono|Crono]], amateur swordsman armed only with a wood sword at the start, and according to the menu screen his elemental is lightning. No word on what his sign or favorite color might be. You can play with the drapes if you want or check out the empty bowl of cat food, but head downstairs to get on with life.

You can explore the houses around Crono's house in the village of Truce, head south to the village of Poore, or even take a boat ride between the two cities. You can also head through the forest to Guardia Castle although you won't be able to go inside yet. Once you feel like you've explored enough, head into the millenial fair at the north of Truce.

The Millenial Fair is an event held once every thousand years to celebrate the defeat of Magus 400 years ago. And you get to go. You can buy some equipment and weapons here, although it's not really essential at this point in the game. Take your time exploring and talking to people, but there's a few things you should know:

Silver Points are prizes you win at the fairgrounds, and they can be traded for gold at the rate of 10 silver points for 50G, or used in Norstein Bekkler's Lab to win prizes. I'd recommend saving all your silver points since there are a lot of prizes you can win for each character. Places you can win silver points include:

The prizes for spending them in the lab including a ''Poyozo Doll'' for 10 silver points, which will play your character's theme song and show up at their home. For 40 silver points you get a ''clone'' of the character that shows up in the same place, and for 80 you get a ''cat''. Winning a game more than once gives you ''cat food'' which can help you breed up to 11 cats if you put it in the bowl back home, and later on in the game you'll be able to win ''dolls'' and ''clones'' for each character by putting them at the front of the party.

Without giving too much away, suffice it that anything you say or do at the fairgrounds can and will be used against you in a court of law. If you want to be a good little boy, try the following:

And just so you know, you can't make her run into you, it'll be considered your fault no matter how you go about it, but you can still get all innocent.

Well, just in case you have no clue what I'm talking about, after playing around some you'll want to go to Leene Square underneath the giant bell and bump into the blond chick who looks like a harem girl. You'll both be knocked down, and she'll help you up. Talk to her or don't talk to her depending upon whether you're evil or good, but eventually you'll want to pick up her pendant and give it back to her. She'll thank you profusely, and ask to follow you around. You'll also get to name her, I prefer [[../../Characters#Marle|Marle]].

Crono will volunteer for a teleportation experiment and get transported all of several feet. Marle thinks it's a blast so she tries it out herself, only to have the pendant react with the telportation device and cause her to disappear. When you're ready, pick up the pendant yourself and prepare to begin an epic journey.

This section will explain what happens if you confront Lavos at each point of the game. If you're in a New Game + you can skip straight to Lavos at almost any point by stepping onto the right telepad and pressing {{snes|A}}. If you want to challenge Lavos now you'll get the [[../../Endings#The_Programmer's_Ending|programmer's ending]]. You can do this with Crono alone if you wait until Lucca asks you to help her demonstrate the device, or you can do it with Marle in your party as well if you step onto the right telepad right away. There's no real downside to doing it with Marle unless you just want to prove that Crono can take Lavos on solo. Check out [[../../Bosses|the bosses section]] for more info on fighting Lavos. You can also get this ending by defeating the version of Lavos you're supposed to lose to in the ocean palace as well.
