Chrono Cross

Hint:
In Viper Manor, in the battle screen with LI'L BOXER. When you choose attack, a side box appears that describes your apponits stat's. Also in this box are Male & Female sign's, always attack the Female and you'll get the prize everytime.

Treasure Chest Trick:
Throughout the game, especially in the Viper Manor, there are many decoy treasure chest which are actually enemies. When you encounter them they tell you, you only have "one chance" to attack the correct one to recieve the prize they have. All you have to do to ensure yourself the prize is to randomly attack one. If you do not choose the right one the first time, just "run away" and repeat. You can do this as many times as you want at no cost.

Easy way to beat Dario:
This is a very easy way to beat Dario and get Serge's most powerful weapon. First you have to go battle the Black Dragon and use Fargo to steal the armor called the "Black Plate". Next equip the black plate on
Serge after having beat all of the other dragons except for the White Dragon. To be able to fight Dario you have to battle Peppor and Solt where Garai once was. After the battle they give you an item used to
make Dario regain his memory. One you have the item (again make sure that you have the Black Plate on serge, and Riddle in your party) go to the tiny island to the northeast of the big island called the Forbidden
Island. Go in the hut and then battle Dario. The battle should be semi-easy as all of Dario's magic when cast at Serge will heal him. Once the battle is over you should receive the Masamune. Side Note: Dario has about 3800 hp.

How to get the Chrono Cross:
To get the Chrono Cross go to Dragon Falls (Another) and use the two blue crystals pieces. Its only purpose is to get you the best ending.

Get All Characters:
Once you've beaten the game, use new game+ and play through until you get the Chrono Cross again. Next, go to Spriggan's home dimension using the portal in the Hidora Swamp and use the Chrono Cross as soon as you get there. You will get all your characters back from your previous saved games.

How to get the moon glass's:
After getting Glenn into Termina, move him and another party member (I used Guile) to hermit's hideaway, and there you'll fight Harle. When the battle begins, hit her with every white element you have, "X strike" is nice here, but the point of the matter is to kill her before she use's "Moon Beams", if you do this, you get the Moon Glass's when you defeat her. They half all physical damage.

How to beat Dario w/o any special equipment:
All you have to do is have enough IceBlast elements to equip on every slot of each characters element grid, then use whatever attack combo you prefer, then use your strongest available IceBlast. This causes
Dario to use Weaken, which takes up his turn. You can just keep doing this until Dario is defeated, without having one HP taken away from any of your party members!

How to get Harle permanently:
To get Harle permanently without losing her... do the following: Beat the game three times getting each set of characters (Guile, Nikki and Pierre). Don't forget to alternate in saving and not saving Kid. Remember to beat the game with Harle in your party. This means you have to beat the game before you lose her. The forth time you beat the game, use the Chrono Cross and you'll get Harle back permanently!
