Hero's Grave

CHRONO TRIGGER® guide · Completing the quest for Cyrus's ghost ✓ Checked against sources

Located on the island of Choras, this ruined complex houses the tomb of the fallen knight Cyrus and is plagued by monsters and broken floors. To restore passage and lay Cyrus to rest, the party must retrieve tools from a descendant in 1000 A.D., recruit a carpenter in 600 A.D. to complete repairs, and clear the halls of ghosts. Bringing Frog to the headstone triggers a reunion with his friend's spirit that permanently unlocks the full power of the Masamune.
