Time period overview

It is home to Ayla's village, Ioka Village, and the Reptite Lair. 65,000,000 B.C. is also the time period when Lavos crashed into the planet burying itself deep beneath the crust. This ushers in the Ice Age that can be seen in 12,000 B.C. Its layout is reminiscent of the Supercontinent Pangea.

Locations

Template:Spoiler

65,000,000 B.C has only five notable locations. The world is in a primitive part of life and humanity is yet to evolve into modern-day humans. Many of the locations that Crono and gang visit are in the outdoors or close to nature in some way or another.

Ioka Village

The most important place in the world in this era. The tribe of "apes" known as the Iokans live in this village. Their chief is none-other than Ayla, the powerful member of Crono's party.

Laruba Village

Laruba Village is hidden within a forest to the north of the continent. Here the tribe Laruba live, hiding themselves from the Reptites, the enemies of the apes. After the Reptites burn down Laruba Village, Chief Ayla from Ioka offers the Larubans shelter in Ioka Village.

Reptite Lair

The Reptite Lair is an outpost of the Reptites, most likely designed as a front of battle where the Reptites can strike close to the ape's villages. On the outside of the Lair lies the Forest Maze, a jungle that surrounds the Reptite Lair in all directions. This would have been used as a good defense against an attack from the apes. Crono and Ayla come here to find Crono's Gate Key, the only item that can open the Time Gates. After a battle against Nizbel, the powerful fighting Reptite, Crono receives the Gate Key.

Tyrano Lair

The main stronghold of the Reptites, this fortress is set high on a mountain overlooking Volcanoes in a sea of lava, as well as Ioka Village away in the distance. Azala, ruler of the Reptites abides in the stronghold. Crono and Ayla arrive here by Dactyls to free the captured Laruban Villagers. Crono and Ayla climb the fortress and face off against Nizbel again, finally beating the formidable Reptite. Crono and Ayala reach the top of the fortress, where they do battle against Azala and her pet, the Black Tyrano.

Hunting Range

A forest full of things to kill, and a secret Nu that only appears while it is raining. Unlike other battles when you engage in combat, you don't hear the original battle music. Instead, you hear the music that was playing during the "feast" scene in the village. Template:Endspoiler

Beta version

In the Pre-Release version of Chrono Trigger. 65,000,000 B.C had a few different locations that did not exist in the official release of the game. These included an un-named village on the eastern side of the continent, a mountain in the middle of the continent many fans refer to as the "Singing Mountain", which was available in the pre-releases coding.

Unnamed Village: The Unnamed Village's mystery is impossible to decipher. Within the coding, there is no location info or text strings that show the name of the village.

Singing Mountain: The most talked about location in the Beta. The Singing Mountain is practically complete on the inside. Though access is denied from the outside, using cheat codes, one can enter the inside of the mountain, which is filled with lava rivers, a deep maze and a couple of lava falls. Though no events are at work inside, the music is available.
