Lavos is an alien inside an alien inside another alien.
All the 3 aliens go under the name Lavos, but are all of them the same lifeform? Or is the inner layer Lavos a parasite controlling the other 2?

If the inner Lavos is unique, them the threat is over.
If it is not, then Crono's team just managed to prolong the inevitable.

There's no indication that Lavos died, only that he left behind his shell to become a mountain.

it could be after this portion of his life cycle is complete, he no longer requires it.

I think the outer Lavos shell is a chrysalis or the shell of a larval form, like how a cicada leaves behind a husk of its baby self when it matures. It's worth noting that the giant shell is mostly hollow on the inside, as if the original tissue inside had been used up. Presumably after destroying the Earth in the original timeline, Lavos molted into his adult form as a Dragon Ball Z villain and took off back into space.

It's scary to think about, isn't it? That out there amongst the untold billions of galaxies, there might exist a being that has amassed near-unstoppable power, and is in the process of consuming entire worlds to feed its engines.

It's pretty unlikely that any two things on a cosmic power scale are close enough for it to not be a curb stomp, unless there's some controlling factor imposing a cap.

However, I think the cap is "eat the sun and convert all matter in the solar system into spores of yourself" and if such creatures meet, there won't be anything left to watch the fireworks.

Given the immense size of the universe and the proven ability of life to adapt to extremely hostile environments, I would expect that some form of large spaceborne organism probably does exist somewhere, but FTL travel is still impossible as far as we know, so it won't be moving very far. I suppose if it was like some kind of photosynthetic creature adapted to live for an extremely long time and to spend most of that time hibernating after accelerating in the direction of the next star it could get around, but then it'd need to be capable of calculating celestial mechanics to plot a course instinctually in its head.

>> No.4637886

Death's Peak was likely created as a result of Lavos erupting from the ground (no clue if it's intended to be the remains of its shell), but the game never says one way or the other, as far as I know.

The eruption site in 1999 is extremely close to where Death's Peak stands in 2300, though it doesn't match up exactly.

No.

Same reason I don't think there are little green men in spaceships fucking with us. It doesn't make sense. Any species that is technologically capable enough to go from one star system to another has absolutely no reason to fuck with an inferior species like us, unless we're truly unique for some reason.
Also, there's no reason to send your meat body somewhere when you can send a drone for a teeny fraction of the cost. Technology increases at an exponential rate, so while yes, we ourselves would love to go to mars and mess with any microbial life we find there, by the time we can get to a planet in another solar system, we can create whatever life we want here. Why kidnap a monkey from a planet 50k lightyears away when you can grow one in a lab? Why go mine gold on the monkey planet when you can create it from stardust from your own sun? Why do anything at all when you can create AI smarter than you that can do anything you can do and more, but faster and better? Why even bother with meatspace when said AI can create a virtual world for you that's better in every way from the one you inhabit, and can take care of your meatspace concerns better than you ever possibly could?

About the only possibility that makes any sense is a species on a planet that is about to go extinct (like their sun is about to explode or something) slapping together a last minute plan to get their DNA off the planet to survive somewhere else, and even then it's a stretch. There could be von neumann probes, but they wouldn't be organic, and they'd work a lot faster than lavos.

First time I played I spent hours on Dark Omen, dying 10 times to every single boss, all because I tried to beat it right after getting the Epoch.
The game expects you to do some side quests, hinted by the old man in the End of Time, before going to Dark Omen.
If you do everything the end game will be a breeze.

Don't forget to steal speed tabs from enemies that you already beat and are not going to respawn and get haste helmets.

Alternatively replace Ayla with Marle and double up on your healing. Chrono by himself should be able to dish out the 20k it takes to beat her but it's a battle of attrition.

I'm saying all life capable of getting itself to here from there would have about the same goals and drives. A singularity can be good or bad. A good one would either not bother us or it would be like an altruistic god come to help us.
