Tyranno Lair

CHRONO TRIGGER® guide · The final battle with Azala

The party flies Dactyls into this prehistoric fortress in 65,000,000 BC to rescue Kino and captured Laruba villagers. Inside, players navigate switches, traps, and teleporter puzzles before defeating Nizbel II and confronting Azala alongside the Black Tyranno. Once Azala is defeated, the Lavos impact completely destroys the stronghold, permanently locking the area.
