The Golem Boss you fight is a joke boss fight. He'll count down from 5 twice, only to do nothing. Then he'll start quivering and talking about how he hates heights. He'll run away if you let him, so go ahead and try to finish him off with your best double techs and single techs, he gives you a fair amount of experience and cash for the trouble.

You'll jump straight from that to a fight with Dalton, which is similarly easy. Just use a few powerful techs, and after casting Iron Orb a few times he'll be history. The epoch will be able to fly, and will blow up the blackbird. Your party will insist on finding Crono before you go anywhere, so explore around and head to north cape. Your party will run into Magus, and you'll witness another flashback explaining the remainder of the events you've seen so far, showing how the three gurus, Gaspar, Melchior, and Belthasar ended up in their respective time periods, as well as Janus/Magus himself. And at this point, you'll have the option to make the first choice which will really influence the course of the game, whether or not to fight with Magus or have him join your party.

If you fight with Magus, if Frog is in your party he'll challenge him alone, otherwise you can take him on as a trio. Frog will turn into a human in the ending if you kill Magus, but Magus will stay with your party and be in the ending if you spare him. For a brief description of how either option affects the two endings you can get at this point, see: [[Chrono Trigger/Endings#The Reunion Ending|The Reunion Ending]] and [[Chrono Trigger/Endings#The Main Ending|The Main Ending]]. Personally I highly recommend keeping Magus in your party, particularly if this is your first time through the game, since he knows a lot of magic which will help a lot. And really, why kill a guy when he just went through all that himself? Whatever your choice is, Magus will inform you that Gaspar the Guru of Time might be able to help you and you'll get Magus's amulet, a gift from Schala if you remember.
