The Mountain of Woe is a location that appears in Chrono Trigger in 12000 BC, before the fall of the Kingdom of Zeal. It is a floating landmass suspended in midair, but chained to the ground, effectively keeping it from ascending to the height of Zeal. The area is accessed by climbing up the chain, which is connected to the earthbound settlement of Algetty. Smaller chains link the many fragments of rock together to form its mountain-like structure. Enshrouded in light snow and teeming with residual magical energy, the hit rate of the party is decimated during combat here.

Storyline[]

Zeal, under orders of the Prophet, imprisoned Crono and the gang after losing to Dalton's Golem. Schala and Janus free the gang in hopes to save the Guru Melchior atop the Mountain of Woe for "defying" the power-mad Queen Zeal, who sought the power of Lavos to ascend the Zeal Kingdom to even greater mastery over magic and mortality. After Crono defeats Giga Gaia, (the boss guarding Melchior), the seal that maintains the mountain's magic is broken, and the entire mountain collapses and falls into the ocean. Schala returns to Algetty to inform the Guru of the Ocean Palace's completion. She is apprehended by Dalton at this point, and the Guru, providing the Ruby Knife and then asks Crono to rescue her.
