Let's Play Chrono Cross #113 - Terror From Above

[Richkard665]

Anti-gravity devices displace the pressure around the field it eminates

[Dorgengoa2080]

i dont get it...i dont get who that face is =S or the voice that has been talking..is it FATE? or is it belthesar?

[frankifyed]

I'm sure that this has been asked before but what is auto-crit?

[Wolflord99]

Nostrum is a false or a scheme of, medicine.

[kerplop]

I've played this game several times and I still don't know who that face is.

[8889]

@kerplop i have a feeling it might be lucca..? idk

[Kohox]

Watching Bailly beat this game makes me wonder how in the world did I beat it when I was a kid without internet or walkthrough books! This goes for other RPGs too! Geez, the plot never tells you where to go.

[MissingnoTheGreat]

@Kohox

Probably by derping around. That's how I beat Paper Mario.

[314Marvin]

HOHOHO!You suck...

Where did you get that from?!

[GodOfPlague]

you have a sail for motion no engine required, plus AG device probably self powered propulsion unit as well.

[stuffyworld10]

Bomo!Bumomomo!Buuuuumooooo!

[TyrannusBestia]

Loved the Calvin and Hobbs thing you did last episode. Was great. XD

[Wolfie200]

Nostrum:

A medicine whose effectiveness is unproved and whose ingredients are usually secret; a quack remedy.

[TheKevinWalker]

Lolwhut at 3:46-49? The game's Attack mechanic is all about Combos!

[milesmeloro]

lmao, Olmec

[chuggaafan100]

it's not a device it's a boat-device

[SolAtomizer]

Ochre is actually a color.

[BygPhattyPlus]

You know, I think I sense a M. Night-style twist coming up.

[RiiidgeRaacer]

Is it me or does that robot look a bit like Lavos's humanoid 2nd form from the end of chrono trigger?

[manuelito1233]

I wonder... If you use Starky's level 7 tech.. will you play 3oh3 in the background?

[ButcheredAtBirth77]

from the sound of it nostrum sounds latlin with the ending

[Creator743]

Why does repling to other people's comments only SOMETIMES work.

[Tsukiyo165]

Terra Tower is the last of my favorite places in this game. Its cool looking the boss fights have cool music and also more cool plot development.

[ZZDaikun]

"Now...

How will you fight, Serge..."

Um... With a sword?

[MrMinkStar]

A swallow, not a sword.

Silly guy.

[ZZDaikun]

African or European?

[MrMinkStar]

Oh, well, I don't know that!

*Zooom*

[shinrainc88]

If you translate Nostrum into German you can translate it back to English like "Secret remedy" or "Special remedy".

[ThePigKnight]

I think Nostrum is a refrence to Nostradamus maybe?

[xitstylerrevival]

HCBailly, will we be finding our answers in the shrine of the silver monkey?

[CelesChere694]

Would have been cool if they had a variation of the Black Omen music for this area.

[drunyon214]

I just find it funny that even though they have a flying boat, they landed at the very bottom of Terra Tower. Great planning, guys.

[mejercit]

There is a reason they did not land on top, a reason that will be revealed a few episodes from now.

[drunyon214]

I realize that. They still could have landed very near the top, such as on the wings of Terra Tower, for example.

[mejercit]

Where there were patrolling enemies...

[FenrirWeapon]

Viper manor had an epoch-like vehicle, it would seem perfect to have used it

[vlad48329reborn]

man, the floating boat has about as much sense of direction as the gull in terranigma.

[cofingp]

The boss looks like the Green Gigas from Skies of Arcadia. Does anybody get that?

[flarestorm21]

@cofingp He's smaller and yellow-er than the Green Gigas, but I see the resemblance too.

[cofingp]

No, HCBailly. A one shot in this game is using X-Strike against a blue boss with a red field.

[TheMelnTeam]

Aw cmon, equip the crono cross so we hear different sounds depending on element cast!

Ding!

I actually never bothered with the rainbow equipment, but I'm more a fan of cherry-tapping than one-shotting ;).

[183Jonah]

Voice...that you talked about before...?

Uh...Maybe I'm being forgetful, but I don't know which voice you're referring to. Which episode?

And lol, the Giant Face was talking to Serge.

I heard that they were gonna have a party member be recruitable in Terra Tower, but they changed him into the giant face instead.

[MuroKhan]

3:27

I sould say what would count as one shotting would be what you did to that jellyfish and the X-Strike, despite the hits that did 0 damage to it.

[88blair88]

HCBailly if you were strong in chemistry, you should know that ochre is a type of powdery red mineral.

[SomeGuy712x]

I typed "nostrum definition" into the Google search box and got this:

"Web definitions for nostrum

panacea: hypothetical remedy for all ills or diseases; once sought by the alchemists"

[DonHoraldo]

1:01 stop killing the catgirls.

[speyeker]

Landing the ship right where you want it to is as easy as landing a seagull in Terranigma.

[Cyric1983]

gold? g-money? how about G-G-G-G-UNITS!!

[xValis77x]

i really love those field items.

[MWaser]

anti-gravity wouldn't be very useful in space with no gravity.

[passtheketchup123]

Are you talking about "The Day the Earth Stood Still" with the giant robot?

[Paulygon104]

They called it Gort.

[melonheaddd]

Funny, I was just talking about the Olmec civilization in class today. Of course, I thought of HCBailly immediately. Never knew Olmec existed outside Legends of the Hidden Temple.

[UltimaKeyMaster]

Oh man, that brings back so many memories.

That was such a great game show, it still feels awesome to watch those past episodes today.

But, Serge meeting Olmec? Now that was something I didn't expect!

Hey wait...SERGE, WATCH OUT FOR THE TEMPLE GUARDS!

[HolyWtfftw]

nostradamus

[Kidlink77]

Calvin and Hobbes ftw!!

[Wingblades]

hey its Omec from the Legends of the Hidden Temple.

[Team0SuN]

Ochre or Ocher is term for both a golden-yellow or light yellow brown color and for a form of earth pigment if you really want to know,just Google it ;D I personally liked those...Blob...Bubble..Bosses. But i would have preferred to fight them in Bubble Form,...kinda like in Final Fantasy X.

[EruditeDragon]

HC, I have to agree with you on having different battle music / ambient music for this part of the tower (I think the music changes at some point, but it's been a while since I played this.). Personally, i would have loved it if the theme from the "Ochre" boss would have continued playing throughout both Terra Tower itself and the random battles.

[RadRetro]

Wait a minute. They won't all fit in Starky's ship, so they fly to Terra Tower, on a f***ing dingy? What the Hell man?

[Skyshattered]

Aw I was hoping for an Eazy E reference when Sparky said "Eassy does it" :( I guess HC is not an old school gangsta rap fan :(

I actually use Eazy E's name for my forum alias on HC's forum :D

[Creator743]

I personally hope that HCbailly isn't a rap fan at all but...

*mumbles* Retards Attempting Poetry *mumbles*

[BLOODBANE678]

Serge: *decides to go* *imitates Captain Falcon* YES!!!

[LordBaruch]

Ochre is a color: golden brown, if I remember right.

[blackswan707]

Last dungeon, eh..why do I get the feeling this game could have had the subtitle "Revenge of the Reptites" or "Reptites' Revenge", haha.

Remember Serge, the choices are yours and yours alone! (Now that FATE isn't screwing with you..)

[MGNSMG]

Haha, Olmech...really miss that show. It seems strange that that face is on the underside of something that's supposed to represent the Reptites...unless they sort of put that face there on the underside as a mockery of humans..

[SchlossRitter]

That Ochre colored boss just absorbs the party into an alternate zone, eh?

Wait, the boss and the regular (white) enemy both had the same name.

[berserk2112]

no sunglasses HC Bailly?

[Tonberry2k]

So who is the face?

[speyeker]

I'm not sure either, but I'll send you a message with my guess (warning, MAJOR SPOILERS!)

[gikey5]

Yeah, I've beat this game, but I never figured who the voice was. Must have missed it. I hope you'll refer to whom it is, when the game points it out....or just tell us now!! lol!!

[pontyfaxjr]

I love your Calvin and Hobbes references.

[Wanderingsage7]

engine wouldn't fit, thrusters would've burned up the boat.

[mejercit]

What was the power source for the anti-gravity device?

[Wanderingsage7]

weapons grade uranium? moondust? the awsomeness of Norris? Sparky's iq? serge's Muteness? wait i got it. Kid's plot armor.

[RaikouGilgamesh]

How did the Dragonites or Reptites have robots? Why, HCBailly, you should know by now. You even said it yourself in FF5 and Chrono Trigger. "As we all know viewers, ancient civilizations are FAR more advanced than PRESENT civilizations."

[SoulOfFenrir]

Nostrum is an ancient dark magical spell that is basically like an absorb spell, it takes the life from something else and gives it to you.

[Slobad88]

Ocher is a$ color I think it is sort of a brownish color but not sure.

[OtherRealmer]

Ocher is a brownish red color.

[DarthLampe]

Olmec! Is Kirk Fogg hiding around as well?

Hehe, landing permit? Another Star Wars reference Mr. Bailly?

[NocturneTempest]

Would've been cool if we could use the ship to Gaia's Navel

[vorpalseraph]

I like how Guile doesn't have, like, any elements.

[Turbotails08]

I know and Guile's supposed to be one of the best mages lol.

[noname4menow]

His grid is backwards, it as little lower levels and many higher level slots. So really late, late, late game he probley has the best grid of all characters.

[CookieCrumb23]

1:00 If we knew how that would work, I think we would be halfway through the universe already :D

[mejercit]

You do not have the Chrono Cross equipped?

I am surprised you did not bring in Turnip and NeoFio to fight the Terrator.

The Reptites were from the future; that is why they had robots.

[Treble120]

how much more of the game is there

[LionHeartGriever21]

@Treble120 This is the last dungeon. Not terribly long.

[Amerac133]

@Treble120

Maybe 10 more parts AT MOST 15, but that is my estimate.

[theauthorman123]

Nostrum mean 'ours' in Latin. I think.

[jrpow09]

The dictionary on my computer says:

"a medicine, esp. one that is not considered effective, prepared by an unqualified person. "

[mawknation]

I'm getting more or less the same definition. Guess it's an ironic name, then.

[Slagomancer]

and honestly, in terms of music, the dark and foreboding is SO awesome

[royoroyal]

ochre is a color, kinda like brown

[mejercit]

The hills near Grapevine Canyon in Kern County, California turn ochre in the summer.

[Slagomancer]

Iron Giant maybe?

[jedisociety]

this game is endless

[speyeker]

It's almost over, seriously. The main game, anyway. Then there's the New Game+ and all the endings. =P

[MorticonZX]

Woor!

[DosKanonos1994]

In the 7th hour, we got cheese.
