Try to avoid the rats, they steal Tonics and money. Head to the right to pick up the '''Berserker''', an accessory. Make sure you grab the '''Lode Bow''' for Marle and the '''Lode Sword''' for Crono (if you don't have it yet) from the chests along the way. There will be some shadows in the next area who you'll need to kill with Lucca's fire attack. Additionally Crono's Slash technique works against them. Try to attack clumps of enemies with Fire Whirl if you can. | |||
Once you've fought your way past some mutants and one chest with '''Ether''', you'll reach another outdoor area where you'll find the Sewer Access, Lab 32, and Arris Dome. The sewers aren't strictly necessary until much later in the game (although the rewards within are very worthwhile at your level), and you can't go through Lab 32 until you complete a quest in the Arris Dome, so head there. | |||

| | |text=The boss is the Guardian, which has two helpers called Pods. The Pods periodically attack you, and if you attack the Guardian itself while the Bits are alive, they'll do a combination counter attack. If both Bits are alive, a delta attack will be used that damages the entire party. If one is alive, the Bit will ricochet its laser off of the Guardian to amplify the laser against the attacker. Concentrate on killing the individual bits, then attack the Guardian while it's counting down to regenerate the bits. Use Aura Whirl with Crono and Marle to restore health during the countdown if you're damaged. After a few rounds of Bit elimination, it will fall. | ||

If you're | If you're a high enough level at this point, its recommended that you attempt to clear the Sewer Access to get extra experience and higher equipment. You can come back at a later time, but if you wait too long the rewards won't help. Also, doing so now compared to later will be more difficult and slower to get through. The difference between clearing it and not clearing it is really just a boost to the next few areas you go to. | ||
