Mount Pyre

CHRONO CROSS: THE RADICAL DREAMERS EDITION guide · Serge crosses the fiery caverns toward the ancient fortress

Serge traverses the scorching volcanic tunnels of Mount Pyre in Another World to reach Fort Dragonia. Navigating the searing lava pools depletes party hit points rapidly unless frozen using the Ice Breath key item. Along the way, the party must defeat several blocking forces, culminating in a clash against the Acacia Devas guarding the exit.
