Chrono Cross Traps Guide - Get the Best Elements and SUMMONS 

Love seeing comments like these! Glad it helped! Let me know anything else you have questions about. I'll try to answer them the best I can!

Thank you for subscribing! Did the video help you at all? I think that Traps aren't the most understood in this game, but I'm not sure if many people wanted to even know this information or learned anything at all! That said, thanks for the subscription and comments!

That's awesome! It's so crazy, you're REALLY pushing me into learning how to run the game! You do any speed boost runs yet? Can't wait to see how much time that cuts off!

@@JRPG-Mickey If youre interested, you deff should! Very fun run! Also I have not, Im not too immediately interested in battle boosts/speed up categories personally haha. At least not enough to route it out lol But i might do one just to try it after it is routed!

However if you MISS Frog Prince and are on a NG+ run despite that a Frog Prince Trap does exist NOTHING with actually use it not even Aquator the Blue Tower of Terra Doll boss end of game will ever use it. On the remaster Bunyip Red innate form no longer uses Volcanno the games AI replaced that turn with Magma Burst instead so that it never uses Volcano while you can trap the lv 7 summons off all but Frog Prince off of Aquator the Tower of Terra is the final dungeon so I'd rather trap the lv 7 summons off of the normal enemies. However on NG+ runs NO normal enemy will ever use Frog Prince so its still the only missable summon.

Glad it was helpful! I know that she's got better Doppelgangs, but thankfully these ones teach the elements that are trappable. Any guides you'd like to see specifically?

@@JRPG-Mickey A Drop/Steal guide, I looked at an old Chrono Cross guide for stealing and it didn't seem accurate. Hard to find good info. Most "guides" list boss fights but I am sure there are some good trash mobs, especially early on worth stealing from, or farming for drops.

@@T0beyeus I'll keep that in mind! Thanks!

I appreciate the feedback! How it helps! Any guides in particular that you'd like to see?

Thank you for the comment! Was the video helpful for you, or did you already know how to use Trap elements?

IMHO Sprigg SUCKS as is NEVER in my party ever upon getting Norris to join besides the Cuscus's CAN'T COUNTER with Black Hole the only element worth trapping off of them IF it kills them instantly with it and it CAN. I had The STINGERS on the way to the Green Dragon battle Home world only use Sonja the Bulbs don't really have enough HP to survive your physical hits before you can trap it.

Serge, Glenn, and Harley are like the top 3. Leena, Guile, Riddle and Razzly are great magic users. Leena is good in general, Razzly can do a lot of dmg when you get her and her fierce attack can hit all enemies, and Guile just has tons of magic dmg when you get him (but his grid starts off really slow but gets way better later) Pierre is also good late game when you get his gear (Serge, Glenn and Pierre for lots of critical hits) But the problem with tier lists is the RNG factor on level ups characters missing out on stat gains, so they'll probably have to catch up to early game characters. But any tier list that doesn't have Glenn and Serge at the top is questionable. Their X-Strike dual tech will kill EVERYTHING with ease, and they get the best weapons in the game. Dual Einlazers and Mastermune gets like 100% crit rate or something. Harley is the best magic user and has great techs, but you have to beat the game 3 times to use her for more than just the Lynx section.

Oof. The only way I know to get the Black Hole trap was from Marbule! Fortunately you can still learn Black Hole from the Tragedienne's or Doppelgang Total Chaos when you GET the Trap!

Except if you don't have any Black Hole traps you can't buy any until AFTER you beat Miguel so that leaves only the Total Chaos Dopplegang method and ONLY if the Cuscus enemies SURVIVE it Black Holes instant kill effect CAN work on Cuscus but I'll never use Sprigg for the entire game anyways just so fight the Undead Hydra boss Another World only requires full Black Field.

You can get carnivore from fargo in NG+ with the carnivore trap he will use it once, but only in NG+ since trap elements are not available till after the pirate ship event. THe earliest you can trap is in fort dragonia iceburg off of the gloop boss using two fire skills.

Also the water boss in fort he will case iceberg if you used two fire elements in row

bunyip can also cast Volcano so make sure to trap it as well, it begins using inferno although it could start by casting volcano know the spells before either one is used for the correct trap.

Not in the remaster version

@@lorddiethorn Yeah it can I got it playing it.

@@sora6748 well it didn’t for me and an lot of people his attack patterns change then

Or is there more stuff you have to do ?

Plenty of game left to play

Kinda late but at that point in the game no one else in the party has Black Hole. Transforming into Total Chaos lets you use black hole even if you don't actually own the element.

That's just it, the level 7 and 8 elements can generally ONLY be obtained by Trapping them.

I disagree, forcing you to choose pathways that will lead you to some but not all locations/characters gives it an enormous replay value, especially on new game+ where you can then go back and make all of the choices you didn’t pick the first time through, it’s almost like 1.5 games in 1

I just finished once , i too, me 45 hours, if you want all in the game , you really can't without a guide. Just broing to repolay same game for littles add. The game is very good , but the story is a really bad point for me its incomprehensible... i have to read things on the internet A game must make you understand the story, going to see the explanations of the story spoils the flow of the game when you discover it, you arrive at the end without really understanding the purpose because they got lost in the explanations, the game tells you balances a lot of information only at the end of the game it's just undrinkable@@samsonhaze6595
