The Mystery of the Black Nu in CT DS

[Dark Serge]

Has anyone noticed the strange Black Nu in the TGS2008 trailer on the Japanese Chrono website? It appears in the new content of the trailer.

[Romana]

Huh... wonder if it's an addition to the main game or part of the extra ending quest.

[Boo the Gentleman Caller]

He could be blocking that bridge... Then again, maybe he's just standing there.

[mav]

Well, it's shown as "Extra Content" on that video and we know you can level up your creatures in that battle mode, maybe he's just a high level, shadow creature? If you watch any of the videos showing the Arena of Ages you'll see some of the enemies in other color palettes...then again, this thing is on a bridge, not in the arena...

I also saw a some strange purple enemy and a yellow ogre in there...this video is full of good stuff.

[Prince Janus]

 I think the purple enemy in question is a blob, as seen aboard the Black Dream. Or at least a recolor of one.

[Romana]

...Makes me think Enix won't give up the chance to throw in a trainable Slime cameo... especially considering Rocket Slime had the 'Chrono Twigger'.

Speaking of which, when I went to Cursed Woods (near Frog's residence) I encountered a Nu running around.
Has it always been there?

yep, as far back as the snes version.  It's not always there, its a chance or triggered thing,  but if you try to engage him alone, he just keeps running.  If you engage one of the other enemies in the forest when he's close to that group, he'll be a part of that battle.

[mav]

Right, he lurks around in the back, if I'm not mistaken.

[Eket]

Isn't that part of the lost sanctum quests? Apparently one of the bosses you fight during it, is a black nu. I can't confirm this though, just something i read somewhere ^^;

[justin3009]

Yea it is.  It's in the Bestiary

[mav]

Makes sense, but does that gold Ogre have something to do with that Golden Hammer side quest?

[Prince Janus]

Front, actually. He should practically be there as soon as you walk in. Just don't get ambushed by Nagas hiding in the trees.

[mav]

I could have sworn there was a creature that lurked around a bush, but I'll take your word for it, Captain.

[Prince Janus]

 Yeah, he should be coming out of a bush.
