Head south and fight a few monsters so you can use the elevator by selecting the left globe. You'll be in for a long series of fights. You can take Marle and Lucca if you want to have Water and Fire magic handy to kill the different colored scouts, or concentrate on physical attackers. The first two groups will fall easily to Crono's Lightning magic, so equip the Gold stud on him to make things faster, particularly if you have Luminaire. The third group will be three scouters of each color, so hit them with single target magic of their type, or just wear them down with physical attacks. | Head south and fight a few monsters so you can use the elevator by selecting the left globe.

When you hit the bottom of the elevator, go ahead and go in and out to ride it up again, there will be a magic tab in the left middle part of the elevator once you ride it up. If you do ride the elevator up you'll have to repeat the previous area and the elevator ride, so be warned. Anyway, head into the room you land on, and there will be a big switch there that doesn't do anything. Head into the left and the right doors to flip a switch and fight a few scouts, although you can actually skip by the scouts if you're fast enough. Once you've hit both the switches, step onto the big one to reveal a platform into another room with a chest and a save point. After that, get ready to fight the Golem Twins. | When you hit the bottom of the elevator, go ahead and go in and out to ride it up again, there will be a [[Chrono Trigger/Tabs|magic tab]] in the left middle part of the elevator once you ride it up.

Use the same strategy as | === Golem Twins === | ||
Use the same strategy as you did on the single Golem, they counterattack with whatever type of attack you use on them, and they're at their most harmless when they're using fire attacks, so always try to finish off with one of Lucca's fire spells that targets both of them. If you have Luminaire and Flare and have your third party member heal, this will be a pretty easy battle. | |||
Dalton will try to summon the Golem Boss, but realize he doesn't want to risk giving up his chance to be immortal. Head down the hall to prepare for one of the coolest parts of the game. You'll stab the Mammon Machine with the red knife, and have it turn into the Masamune. After, that, prepare for a confrontation with Lavos. | Dalton will try to summon the Golem Boss, but realize he doesn't want to risk giving up his chance to be immortal.

If you actually beat his outer shell, which is much harder than usual, you'll get [[Chrono Trigger/Endings#The Programmer's Ending|The Programmer's Ending]]. However, this is extremely hard since his first attack does massive damage, enough to probably kill you instantly if this is your first time through the game, and he casts chaos on your party immediately, which you probably don't have any protection against at this point in the game. If you do an insane amount of levelling up and IF you do the sunken desert sidequest early to get some status protection you may have a fighting chance to beat him on your first game, but otherwise you'll probably just have to try for this particular challenge on a New Game+. | If you actually beat his outer shell, which is much harder than usual, you'll get [[Chrono Trigger/Endings#The Programmer's Ending|The Programmer's Ending]].

The prophet will reveal himself to be Magus, and try to attack Lavos, but to no avail. Crono will try to stop Lavos singlehandedly, and be disintegrated. Schala will transport you to safety with the last of her pendant's power, and you'll awaken in the remains of the earthbound village. While you're here, head into the middle hut and wait for the Nu to leave to pick up a magic tab, and head into the forest to confront Dalton and have your items, money, and equipment stolen away. Bummer. Choose your party carefully for this part since you won't be able to switch for a while, and remember that Ayla won't need any equpiment to attack with. | The prophet will reveal himself to be Magus, and try to attack Lavos, but to no avail.
