2. Walk forward to the altar. Talk to the nun near the organ. You will see a shiny object on the ground in front of the altar. Pick it up. It's the queen's hairpin.
3. The four nuns will turn into monsters. These hags will constantly cast Slow on Crono and Lucca, slowing down their ATB gauges. Use Panaceas to cure this status ailment. Use Crono's cyclone ability to attack two monsters at once. Concentrate Lucca and Crono's attacks on one fiend at a time to eliminate them.
4. Afterward a cut scene will introduce Frog. When prompted, elect to accompany Frog. He becomes a party member and the game allows you to name him.
5. Walk to the organ. Press A to play it. This reveals a secret door to the right of the altar. Enter the door.

2. Run forward into the room. You will see the Chancellor talking to Queen Leene. The queen will flee and the chancellor will turn into a monster named Yakra.
3. Yakra has a few methods of attack. Most of them do negligible damage (20 HP or less). He can pounce on a single character. Additionally, he can bounce around the room or pound the ground. Both attacks damage all three characters. At a range he will also spit out a cannonball.
4. His most damaging attack by far (roughly 50 HP) is when Yakra shoots needles from his back. This will target one specific character. Basically his strategy is to slowly whittle down your characters' HP with mass attacks and then finish them off with the needle barrage. Be wary of this and keep your characters healthy.
5. There's not a lot of deep strategy to this fight. It's really a war of attrition. Keep using the double tech between Crono and Frog called X-Strike. It will deal about 175 HP worth of damage to Yakra. Use Lucca to either provide healing items or use Flamethrower on Yakra. Use Frog's Slurp ability to heal if necessary. Keep hammering away at him (while healing) and eventually Yakra will go the way of the dodo.
6. Once you've defeated Yakra, Queen Leene will reappear and invite the trio back to the castle.
7. Search the two chests on either side of the altar. One will contain the kidnapped chancellor, the second a Mid-Ether.
8. Run to the entrance of the room and talk to Queen Leene.

1. Frog will leave your party after a brief cut scene. Talk to the Queen. She will ask about Princess Nadia (Marle).
2. Return to the upstairs room where you witnessed Marle disappear. When you arrive you will witness Marle reappear. When she asks whether or not you would have shown her around the fair, answer "Yes, I would have." Marle will rejoin your party.
3. Run downstairs and exit the throne room. Talk to Frog on the steps. Exit the castle.
4. Walk to Guardia Forest.
5. Navigate your way through Guardia Forest. You will have to fight a few monsters along the way.

2. You will arrive back at the fairgrounds. Lucca will leave. Crono is tasked with returning Marle home to the castle. Head south until you exit to the fairgrounds to the overworld.

1. NOTE: The trial is mostly out of your hands. Just read the dialogue, and answer the questions as described below. This is where your earlier actions at the fair factor into the game.
2. When the chancellor asks "Who was responsible for initiating contact?" Select "I was."
3. When he asks "Her fortune did tempt you, did it not, Crono?" reply "No." He will rephrase and ask the question again. Reply, "Not at all."
4. At this point the jurors will trickle in and render the verdict. In all likelihood you will be found Not Guilty. Nevertheless, you will be thrown in jail (so much for justice).

1. YouTube: Prison Break (Time: 10:22)

2. Crono will awaken in a jail cell. Save your game at the Save Point in the room. The cup in the room will replenish your HP/MP. A red sack will be laying on your bed (this is only here if you were an upstanding citizen). There are two Ethers inside.
3. Walk forward and rattle the cell door. Do this three times and one of the guards will open the door and hit Crono. Once his back is turned, knock him over the head. Run out of the cell and fight the remaining guard. Once he is defeated, exit through the passage behind him (on your right).
4. Run through the next room, up the steps, and down to the other side. Ignore the shield carrying enemies for now.
5. You will be on a walkway. Run to your right and exit the other side.
6. Run through the hallway until you encounter a guard. Defeat him. Unlock the cell he was guarding. Enter the cell. Inside will be a room containing four treasure chests. Loot the chests, then return to the hallway. Exit back the way you came. Before you can leave a huge guard with a mace will block your way. Fight him and he will eventually run off.

11. Keep running down the hall and you will see another guard. Knock him out (or fight) as well. Open the cell door he was guarding. Enter the cell.
12. Talk to the man imprisoned in the guillotine. His name is Fritz. Elect to free him. Open the nearby chest to receive a Mid-Potion. Open the cell to the north and enter the next room.
13. Fight the two skeletons (the Wind Slash attack works well against them). Now collect the Bronze Armor from the treasure chest. Return to the hallway where you encounter the last guard.
14. Walk to the left, then take the passage that heads north. Follow the passage around and fight the guard at its end. Exit.
15. Run across the walkway to the next structure.

17. Return to the room with the Shield Guards. Fight them. Exit up the stairs to the right.
18. Run up the next two sets of stairs.
19. Defeat the two guards at the top of the stairs. Exit through the wooden door.
20. In the next room Lucca will appear to rescue you. She will join your party. Save the game with the save point behind the desk.
21. NOTE: Before leaving, read the note on the floor. It reveals information about the Dragon Tank (a boss you will soon face). It says that the head of the tank replenishes the body and is only vulnerable to swords. Take note of this. Exit up the stairs ahead.
22. Run across the walkway.

1. YouTube: Boss Batlle:Dragon Tank! To the Future! (Time: 10:55)

2. The tank has three primary methods of attack: a will charge that will hit both Crono and Lucca (deals around 35 HP in damage), fire breathe (20 HP), and missiles (roughly 15-20 HP). Once you get the tank down to just the body it will also begin to unleash a laser attack on a single party member (25-30 HP).
3. Focus on the head of the tank first. Keep in mind that special attacks won't deal significant damage to it. Once that is done, focus on the wheel. Disabling the wheel will prevent the tank from charging. Finally aim for the body of the tank.
4. TIP: Use Crono for offense and Lucca for dispensing healing items.

1. Run across the bridge of men to the other side.
2. Run down the stairs until you reach the throne room (stop at the first room you pass and get the Shelter from the treasure chest). Exit once you reach the room with the two guards in purple guarding the door. Run through the guards, they will follow you.
3. Follow the path down and to the right. Run toward the castle's exit. Eventually Marle will appear and intercede.
