Afterwards, accept the aid offer and go to 1000 A.D where you’ll now find a monastery inside a large forest. Enter the monastery to find Robo covered in vines. Lucca will repair him and they will have a small party in the forest. A red portal will open for Lucca while everyone else is asleep. It will send her to 990 A.D. where a tragedy happens to her mother. Stop the machine by typing the mother’s name. Note: The mothers name is a combination of buttons, “LARA” (Left, A, Right A). The machine will stop, and you can leave. When you get back, someone will notice you and you will return to the monastery. Your reward is the ability to buy magic clothes, including a time hat. From now on you will always see Robo working in various forms during 600 B.C.

Go to the castle, then go to the courtroom to find the king being accused. Go to the treasure room, which is downstairs instead of upstairs, and obtain a shard from the Rainbowshell. Go to court again and show the shard as evidence. The chancellor will try to stop you and then transform into Yakra XIII.

Hunt For Your Life

He is strong, but gives a lot of good items that can be traded for a lot of good things. You’ll get lots of petals, horns, fangs and claws, as well as certain speed, strength or magic capsules. After giving ten of each item (excluding capsules) to the elder, you will receive the Ruby Armor (very strong against fire).
The Factory In The South
Go to 2300 A.D. to find a factory. Note: Robo must be in the first slot of the party. This side-quest is annoying due to a difficult puzzle. When you enter, you will have a 5 battles on a conveyor belt. When you are in, go to the upper floor and save. Go through the second floor until you reach another elevator to the first floor. You’ll now be able to disable the laser and reverse the conveyor belt in the middle of the room. Go to the small place to charge Robo (sparks will fly from him) and run to another place next to a door. The one just behind the conveyor belt is the hardest one sine you must run a lot and have little time. After completing them all, lure the green robot to the other green robot to short-circuit them. Then, select the two “dolls” and go to the second floor again. Another Robo (in pink) will interfere with you, whom you must fight solo with Robo. She will heal often. Walk further and place the two dolls on the two white spots to open the big door. The mother brain will appear. Note: Don’t destroy all three screens or she will have a very strong counter. Destroy one or two since she will heal 1200 each turn from one screen.

Go to the carpenter and ask him to renovate again, which will cost 1000 gold. Note: They only repair the ruins when every monster in the area is defeated. Your reward will be at the grave, where the Masamune’s attack power will be increased to 200.
