lavosforms

42. Lavos "Shell" (1999 AD) This is your first step into the final battle. You must now face the many forms of Lavos. Try to have Gold Studs as accessories and wear the best armors you have. These are the forms that Lavos takes:

1.Dragon Tank 2.Guardian and Bits 3.Heckran 4.Zombor 5.Masa & Mune (second form) 6.Nizbel 7.Magus 8.Black Tyrano & Azala 9.Giga Gaia 10.Lavos' true form

The last form has approximately 10,000 HP and is rather easy to beat, using Luminaire, Flare and Shock/Dark Matter. The other forms are just like their regular counterparts.

43. Lavos "Core 1" (1999 AD) Now that the outer shell is broken, it's time to attack the inner core. We advise a party consisting of Crono, Lucca and Robo with Gold Studs. Luminaire, Flare and Shock are about the best spells to use against the final forms of Lavos. Lavos has three parts to it. A central part, and two arms. In order to defeat the center, you need to defeat the arms first. Lavos will start with a powerful attack before you can get a move off. You may need to heal afterwards. The left arm appears to have less hit points than the right arm. The left arm has somewhere between 7000 HP and 8500 HP. The right arm appears to have between 8500 HP and 10,000 HP. Be careful about this, because when the left arm is gone, the right arm will cast a spell that will remove all of one characters protective magic, even that which is invoked by armor such as the Vigil Hat. When you beat the right arm, wait till Lavos casts a spell called Obstacle, which is a Chaos type spell. Then the main body's defense will decrease a lot. So now use Luminaire, Flare and Shock till it dies, healing with Robo when you need it. The central core may use Obstacle against you several times during the battle, or something called Flame Battle which is fairly powerful. The central body has about 20,000 HP. You get nothing for winning.

44. Lavos "Core 2" (1999 AD) This is it, the final showdown with Lavos. Lavos has three parts. A central body, a left bit, and a right bit. Be sure to have Crono, Lucca and Robo (in this order) with Gold Studs. The central body provides a protection for the right bit (the real core): so use Luminaire, Flare and Shock till the center dies. The bits will sometimes heal the central body, and the bits can also attack you. The central body will cast Time Warp which seems to enable itself to cast different spells depending on the time period you are in. After you've destroyed the central body, wait till the right bit shuts off his defense. Since there's no central body, the bits will counterattack each time you hit the left one. So you must only hit the right one: use Crono's Confuse and Lucca & Robo's DoublevBomb. Since Robo is next to the right bit (if you've made sure to put him in third place), DoublevBomb will do major damage to the right bit, doing more than 7600 damage at level 99! When you need it, cure the party with Robo's Heal Beam. If you don't have anymore MP, use a MegaElixir. The right bit will eventually revive the center body and the left bit if you killed them. The right bit will now raise its defense again. You need to repeat the process over again. The left bit has about 1500 HP, the center has about 10,000 HP, and the right bit has about 30,000 HP. Killing the right bit will kill the other parts of Lavos, thus beating the game!
