CHRONO CROSS: THE RADICAL DREAMERS EDITION guide · Serge boards the cruise ship to seek Fargo's assistance

Serge (in Lynx's body) explores the pleasure cruiser to seek Fargo's help and discover a route into the Dead Sea. After falling victim to Fargo's rigged casino roulette, the party must volunteer for Sneff's stage act to transform into cats, slip into hidden crevices, and steal the apparatus rigging the game. Exposing the cheat unlocks the Grand Slam quarters, allowing the party to confront the mop-wielding Sage of Marbule for crucial navigational aid.
