Chrono Trigger: Why is "he" in the woods?

RZetlin · May 7th, 2004

I'm playing Chrono Trigger PSX and I have reached the cursed woods the first time. If you run quickly enough across the woods and don't get into any battles with the monsters, you will catch sight of a blue guy that looks a blub. I find that the blue guy appears randomly in the woods.

As I remember the guy is named Balthazar which you will meet later in the game. If you try and talk to him, he will say some amusing commments.

Why is Balthazar in the woods?

Was he in the SNES version?

He's also in the woods in the 65 billion bc if I remember right. If I remember right, he starts to run like hell when he spots ya, heh heh. And... this'll probably get moved to psx screenshots section, too. Just a guess.

This isn't Baltazar, this is a character/enemy called Nu, Baltazar used one to store his memories and his final program.
The one on your shot is here so that you can make some easy Tech Points (don't talk to him, touch the nearby enemies)

Zer0Soul · May 7th, 2004

Yea, other than that throughout the game are NU's hidden. It's kinda like the Where's waldo of CT.

You forgot to mention that Nu has to be fought as well along with the enemies.

He puts up one heck of a fight. Nu can kill you so easily!

There isn't just one. Nus are creatures, like cats, that appear naturally all over the game. Not really a "where's waldo" thing. You're supposed to interact with them on many occasions.

JanusX · May 7th, 2004

In 2300AD Belthazar places all his thoughts and memories into a machine that looks identical to a Nu. In nearly every era there are wild Nu roaming around somewhere and they are a good source of tech points.

RZetlin, yes, Nu is in the SNES version as well. I have fought him while playing CT on the SNES.
sincerely,

Ah, yes, Nus. I remember those guys. I used to love fighting them repeatedly in 65,000,000 B.C. I remember Crono knowing Luminaire before I fought Magus

. Ah, that was fun.

Where is Nu in 65,000,000 B.C.?

on the Hunting Rage, when it's raining you can find him

The Hunting Rage is not the forest maze right?

BTW, is there a way to beat Magus the first time you try and fight him?

VDDZ · May 9th, 2004

Can't that Nu change your name? Or was that some computer when you have the "other" Chronos? Is he the one who gives you the choice between that helmet and some sword? Ahhh, I can't remember...

JanusX · May 10th, 2004

If by beat you mean kill him in his castle then no. Otherwise you have to win the fight to continue onward

Do you know which part of the Hunting Rage you can find him?

It rains, but I can't find Nu.

JanusX · May 11th, 2004

There are 3 spots in the hunting grounds for him to appear.

Bottom Left Top Left and Top Right I believe. It randomly picks one so just run quickly between them when it starts raining.

Ryu X · May 24th, 2004

I remember that there is one part in the Dark Ages where you can fight about 6 Nus at the same time. They are in a secret room in one of the buildings in the Zeal Kingdom, i dont remember where

The good thing is that you cannot lose that fight, since once they hit you, your HP is dropped down to 1. The next blow will not inflict any damage on the characters.
