While all three Gurus are critical to the Chrono Series, I will focus on *Belthasar later. Princess Schala and Queen Zeal’s whereabouts are unknown. However, this wakes Lavos and causes temporal distortions to scatter the Gurus and Prince Janus through time. Relocating it to an Ocean Palace, they activate the machine to draw a higher amount of energy from the being. With her three Gurus (* Belthasar, Gaspar, and Melchior), she utilizes a bio-mechanical creation called the Mammon Machine to absorb the energy of Lavos. The ruler of Zeal, known as Queen Zeal, is ruthless in her quest for power and immortality. The Enlightened Ones left the Earthbound Ones to the eternal blizzard. After the last Ice Age, the Kingdom of Zeal used their superior technology and magic to lift the Kingdom into the air. It was a sky-bound nation that was home to the Enlightened Ones, the part of humanity that could utilize magic. Zeal is where the brunt of history occurred, setting into motion the events that Crono and friends must stop.

It is through this same device that, later, we discover our main mission. A teleportation device and a pesky pendant set the first two protagonists, Crono, Lucca, and Marle, on their first accidental time travel adventure.
The main character, Crono, and his allies scattered through time must come together to stop a coming calamity.

Gamers meet seven playable characters (*one optional) from different time periods. There’s a frustrating mobile port released November 30, 2011, but that shows that the Dream Team struck gold! Chrono Trigger’s StoryĪs for the story, Chrono Trigger involves a healthy helping of time travel in a fictional, alternate Earth.
