End of Time

CHRONO TRIGGER® guide · Meeting Gaspar

Arriving via the Gate from the Proto Dome with four members causes a spacetime anomaly that drops the party at the End of Time, a realm where excess travelers must wait. Players meet an old man standing beneath a streetlamp who explains the hub's Gate pillars and instructs them to visit the room behind him. Inside, the entity Spekkio unlocks magic for compatible characters, after which the party must reduce to three active members before using the Gate network to journey onward.
