Guardia Castle (1000 A.D.)

CHRONO TRIGGER® guide · The trial of the Queen ✓ Checked against sources

Upon arriving at Guardia Castle in 1000 A.D. after securing the Rainbow Shell in the past, King Guardia is put on trial by the Chancellor for allegedly selling off royal heirlooms. The party must fight down into the castle basement to locate the Rainbow Shell, grab a prism shard as physical evidence, and break into the courtroom to expose the Chancellor's plot. Once exposed, the Chancellor transforms into Yakra XIII, forcing a boss battle to rescue the King and clear his name.
