Once its hit points have been exhausted, the mouth will fade away, allowing access into the shell. Lavos becomes:Īfter passing all these trials, Lavos will go on the offensive, using its own abilities. Lavos imitates certain bosses fought by the player throughout the game, copying their stats and attack patterns exactly. However, this stage can be skipped by going to 1999 via the upgraded Epoch, rather than the Gate in the bucket.īefore Lavos begins to fight the players with its normal powers, it tests them. Here, it is the first of three final bosses, the next two being its inner forms. Lavos appears a second time at the very end of the game, when the player goes to the year 1999. Unless the player is using New Game +, they are usually defeated quickly.
Here, it is significantly stronger and faster than usual, and possesses three times as much HP. The player fights Lavos twice in Chrono Trigger. Lavos is also the final boss in Chrono Cross, except in the form of the Devourer of Time, the result of the defeated Lavos assimilating Schala in the darkness beyond time.ĭiabolic Whisper / Inflicts random status This becomes the focal point of Chrono Cross, the Frozen Flame. Upon impact, a splinter of Lavos's shell broke off. While the natural " dreamstone" is a substance responsible for the first evolution of human beings from animal apes to sentient creatures, it is revealed in Chrono Cross that Lavos is responsible for the creation and advancement of the actual modern human species. Apparently, the absolute core of Lavos is one of these bits, since it can revive its other parts and destroying it defeats Lavos. The third and final form is Lavos Core, consisting of three parts: a humanoid center, and two floating 'bits'. The second form consists of a large humanoid form with two arms. The first form is the outer shell, which resembles the Peluda, a mythical beast in French mythology. Magus is also after Lavos for destroying his home era of 12000 BC. While traveling in 2300 AD, Crono, Marle, and Lucca see a video of the Day of Lavos which occurred in 1999 AD, and decide to prevent it somehow. However, because of the interference of many of the characters, he was summoned at two other points in time- 12000 BC and 600 AD. In the original timeline, Lavos slept for millions of years, gaining power until 1999 AD, when he emerged and put the world into an apocalyptic state. ĭespite it originally just being in translation, in Chrono Cross, it appears this actually is the case as a large portion of the game involves many layers of time line event controller which all end at Lavos. However, the line is absent in the Japanese version.

Likely absorbs Schala or BFR's her and the Mammon Machine to the DBT or simply kills her, depending on whether this is the same timeline or a different one.Lavos came to Earth with the intention of draining its energy so that it could produce genetically enhanced spawn, which would then continue the cycle on other planets. Alternate Lavos BFRs everyone, Magus included, to various points in space-time. Still 12000 BC/Kingdom of Zeal/Ocean Palace - Original State of the Timeline - This is the original state of the timeline - either before the party interfered or a different timeline altogether where the party never interfered with anything at all. Schala teleports everyone to safety with the remainder of her energy. He also tries to absorb all of them into it along with Schala, but Crono sacrifices himself to protect his friends and dies instead. He easily defeats the same party that would end up killing it in 1999 AD. Still 12000 BC/Kingdom of Zeal/Ocean Palace - Lavos awakens.
