Revision as of 18:26, 5 March 2009
In the Nintendo DS version, one exclusive area exists called the Dimensional Vortex. The Dimensional Vortex is a dungeon with that can only be accessed after beating the game at least once. When you return to your saved game, three new Gates will have appeared in separate time periods (12,000 B.C., 1000 A.D., and 2300 A.D.).
Like other dungeons in the game, the Dimensional Vortex varies depending on which time period you're in when you pass through the gate. Each time period specifies the reward from completing the dungeon: a permanent upgrade to one of three characters: Marle (the past), Chrono (the present), or Lucca (the future).
After completing all three different versions of the dungeon, a final, new, boss encounter is unlocked (as well as a new ending).
Dungeon entrance
Passing through any of the three Gates will take you to this area. You'll have to fight (or sneak) your way through several random maps from the game's locations before moving on.
After completing this first part of the dungeon, you'll enter into a room with a save point. Two additional paths lie in the room, one that takes you out of the Dimensional Vortex, and one that leads to the Twilight Grotto. This final area depends on which gate you entered through, and will also determine which boss you fight and which character receives a permanent stat boost.
12,000 B.C. dungeon
A large icy mountain. Special enemy is a Heckran like Snowbeast. At the end, you'll get to the Twilight Grotto where you'll fight a special boss if you haven't already done so. You'll move on to what I like to call the Twilit pool and Marle will say something is calling her in. Move on to fight Alabaster Shade, a Marle look-a-like.

Exit the gate to find... Lavos? And floating above it is... Shala? Lavos will push Magus back into oblivion, and the fight will commence.

Description/Strategy
An upgraded version of Lavos. This time, it's using Schala in place of Queen Zeal. To make things easy, make sure you have Golden Studs equipped on everyone. He'll start off with devouring a few dreams and knocking some HP out of you. This guy can do some nasty moves. You can beat him with Chrono, Magus, and Marle at around level 60. Hammer him with Dark Matter, Luminaire, and use Marle's Haste technique to speed things up. After knocking out 10,000 HP, Dream Devourer will create a protective shield on him. Dream Devourer's shield makes it so magic damage is absorbed into either HP or MP. If you make the mistake of attacking it with magic damage, he'll counterattack you with Mana Reaver. With the Rainbow and the scythe you got in the Lost Sanctum, Chrono and Magus should have fairly high damage. Use moves like Frenzy and have Marle heal while Magus attacks with his weapon. When it does the little fireworks show Lavos core did before Resurrection, it's defense will be lowered while it charges up for an attack similar to the one from the one at the Ocean Palace Lavos (Destruction rains from the heavens). Dream Devourer's defense will now permanently lower more and more each time it charges up for one of those attacks. Eventually it will fire one of those beams it used on Future Magus. | ||||
The Dream Devourer will be ready to take down existence when Future Magus manages to wake up Schala, who warps your party back to it's own time. Schala will give a speech about how shes changed and send Future Magus back to whence he came. Magus will wake up, and decide to recover from his amnesia. Congrats on getting the new ending.
