Blackbird

CHRONO TRIGGER® guide · Infiltrating the flying fortress ✓ Checked against sources

Following their capture by Dalton, the party awakens trapped aboard the Blackbird stripped of all weapons, armor, items, and gold. To break out, players navigate ventilation ducts and corridors to recover their confiscated gear from guarded chests. After reclaiming their belongings, they fight across the airship's wing to defeat the Golem Boss (Golem Overlord) and Dalton Plus, ultimately reclaiming the Epoch.
