If you haven't noticed or aren't familiar with Chrono Trigger, there are 13 achievements all corresponding to a different ending. I'll try to keep this as spoiler-light as possible but I'd advise beating the game naturally prior to trying to hunt for all the endings because (mild spoiler incoming) some endings are only advisable in New Game + mode.

The Dream Project

There are two ways to receive this ending, on New Game +, at the millennial fair, go through the right part of the Telepod and then beat the game (you will be taken to the final boss battle), or defeat Lavos at the ocean palace.

The Successor of Guardia

Defeat Lavos and beat the game after returning from 600 AD for the first time (use the right side of the Telepod).

Good Night

Use the bucket at the end of time when you first arrive there, i.e. just after you leave 2300 AD for the first time.

Legendary Hero

Fight Lavos after defeating Zombor on the Zenan bridge but before receiving the Hero Medal.

The Unknown Past

Beat the game after getting the Hero Medal but before going to 65,000,000 BC.

People Of The Times

Defeat Lavos after receiving the Dreamstone but before talking to Frog when you have the repaired Masamune.

The Oath

Complete the game after giving the completed Masamune to Frog but before going to confront Magus.

Dino Age

Crush Lavos after defeating Magus but before defeating Azala and the Black Tyrano in 65,000,000 BC.

What the Prophet Seeks…

Defeat the game after Azala’s demise but before battling Lavos in the ocean palace.

A Slideshow?

Beat the game after seeing Schala use her pendant to open the door to the throne room/Ocean Palace but BEFORE charging up Marle’s pendant at the Mammon Machine.

Chrono Trigger, the iconic 1995 game from Square, has many different endings for fans to enjoy, but none are quite so wild as a secret ending that can only be reached under special circumstances.

Chrono Trigger features one of the most impressive development teams in video game history, referred to by some as the 'Dream Team.' The team combined talent from Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest developers, even including Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama, who had previously worked on Dragon Quest. The members of this team would go on to individually direct many popular RPGs.

The game's plot deserves a mention, too, especially considering how timeless Chrono Trigger has remained after all these years. Chrono Trigger features one of the most memorable villains-turned-heroes, and it also has innovative scenes like Crono's trial, which enforced consequences for the player's actions without warning them beforehand.

The game's story itself starts off simple enough. A young man named Crono wakes up and delightedly goes to a local fair near his home. He quickly gets pulled into a time-travelling quest to save the world from an alien force called Lavos. What follows next is anything but simple.

How to get the secret ending

There are many endings available in Chrono Trigger, each earned by defeating Lavos at different points in the game. Some endings take on a humorous tone, like Frog's wedding to Queen Leene, but fans may have missed the ending that pays tribute to the team that made the game.

To see this ending, players must first beat the game in a more traditional way, unlocking New Game Plus and allowing them to restart the game with all of their gear and XP intact. After beginning a New Game Plus file, players can actually face Lavos much earlier in the game, at the Millenial Fair where Crono first meets Marle. If players interact with a sparkling point in Taban's teleport machine at the fair, they can beam directly to Lavos.

Beating Lavos at this early point in the game, or at the Ocean Palace in an initial runthrough, earns players The Dream Project ending.

A special ending

Chrono Trigger Endings Ranked

The Dream Project ending pays tribute to Chrono Trigger's development team, allowing the player to interact with the developers in the form of various characters from the game. Crono and his team can walk through various environments from the game, interacting with the developers, who each have specific lines of dialogue attributed to them. Some characters joke with the player, following them around, while others quote poetry, reveal secrets about their favorite part of Chrono Trigger, or simply say congratulations for a job well done.

Different Chrono Trigger Endings

Many games have secret endings, but The Dream Project ending in Chrono Trigger is special because it allows players to see the whimsical side of the people who created the game. It also lets players share in the developers' joy over the game they created. Multiple endings give games an incredible amount of replayability and offer fans reasons to keep visiting their favorite games over and over again, and Chrono Trigger is no different.
