Clear the Forest

Once Crono's party arrives in the prehistoric Lost Sanctum, they find the entire village deserted. After looking around a bit, the party goes off into the forest to the north and clear it of monsters. Once they return, the Reptites inhabiting the village come out and reward the party with a Dragon Tear.

After clearing the forest in 65,000,000 B.C., they party can now enter the 600 A.D. Lost Sanctum, which had previously been overrun by monsters. Once the elder determines that the party members are the "heroes of legend" passed down in their tradition, and are once again employed to clear the Millennial Wood of monsters. The Reptites will yield a Megalixir when completed.

The Golden Hammer

Once the party clears the woods of monsters in Prehistory, a Reptite in the lower left part of the village requests the party to find the legendary "Golden Hammer." Another Reptite gives the party a hint that sprinkling a sapling with Golden Sand will cause it to become a golden tree. The party the departs to the Southern Glade to find some of the sand. After retrieving the Golden Sand, the party, as instructed, sprinkles it on a sapling at the end of the Millenial Wood. The party then departs for the Middle Ages to find the grown golden tree, but instead, they find Goldhammer, an Ogan that presumably chopped down the tree and already made a Golden Hammer. The party goes on to defeat it and it surrenders the hammer, which is then given to the Reptite in prehistory for a reward.

The Prismastone

Returning to Prehistory, the party receives a new quest from a Reptite in the upper left. Her daughter has fallen ill and needs the restorative qualities of the "Prismastone" to be cured. However, in order to procure the said item, the party needs to traverse Mount Emerald, which is guarded by the Nu Guardian, a dark-colored Nu that blocks the way at the base of the peak. After defeating the Nu, the party makes their way to the summit, where they find the Prismastone, which is taken back to the girl's mother for 2 Strength Capsules, 2 Magic Capsules, and 2 Speed Capsules.

In 600 A.D., there is a gem collector who wants the "Saintstone," a gem that can be created by the merging of two Prismastones. The party then returns to 65,000,000 B.C. to place the Prismastone on the altar in the Reptites' shrine. In the Middle Ages, the elder does not permit the party to enter the shrine unless they bear the Reptmark, which the party procures in the woods to the north. After removing the 600 A.D. Prismastone, the party uses the Epoch to return to Prehistory to merge the two Prismastones into the Saintstone, and is shown to the gem collector for a Dragon Arm for Robo.
