As players make their way through the Shadow Forest inChrono Cross, they will encounter a large sleeping monster. This monster is a Quadfidd, and fans will not be able to continue their journeys until they awaken it from its slumber. This guide will detail exactly how that is done and help players pass the Shadow Forest sleeping monster inChrono Cross.
Chrono Cross: Shadow Forest Sleeping Monster
The first step toward passing the Shadow Forest sleeping monster is to collect theAroma Pouch. Fortunately, this key item is found very near to the monster, andclassic JRPGfans should direct their attention to the small waterfall in the bottom-right corner of the screen. Indeed, there is a cave under this waterfall, and the Aroma Pouch is in a chest that is situated at the back of that cave.

As a brief aside, players can also collect one ofChrono Cross’s Skelly boneswhile they are in the cave under the waterfall. This is done simply by reading the note that is sitting on the ground next to the Aroma Pouch chest and opting to pick up a bone from the pile of bones. This action will trigger a short piece of dialogue from Skelly, in which he will reveal more of his backstory, and fans will be free to proceed as soon as that dialogue comes to an end.
Armed with the Aroma Pouch, fans should return to the Shadow Forest sleeping monster and interact with one of the three spherical trees on the screen. This will cause an orb to appear next to the player’sChrono Crossparty, and that orb can be used to bring a slime creature with a matching color to the sleeping monster. For full clarity, here are details on the positions of the three slime creatures, and fans should walk slowly when leading them:
Upon returning to the sleeping monster, the beast will stir and eat the slime creature. If the blue or green creatures were brought, then a battle with the Quadfidd will ensue, and fans will gain passage through the Shadow Forest after dispatching the foe. If the red creature was brought, fans will not need to rely onChrono Cross’s battle system, as the sleeping monster will shrink, run away, and award the Skull Duggery Frame.
