 If in the **Ocean Palace** you aren't strong enough to defeat [[lavos|Lavos]]'s first form or feel you need to shop more, you can let it defeat you - as intended in vanilla - and then either enter the bucket at the End of Time to re-engage it or crash the Epoch into the shell to skip this phase entirely (obviously, crashing the Epoch is faster, but the save point inside Lavos will not be available in this case). If in the **Ocean Palace** you aren't strong enough to defeat [[lavos|Lavos]]'s first form or feel you need to shop more, you can let it defeat you - as intended in vanilla - and then either enter the bucket at the End of Time to re-engage it or crash the Epoch into the shell to skip this phase entirely (obviously, crashing the Epoch is faster, but the save point inside Lavos will not be available in this case).
  
-On the **Black Omen's** two elevators, you will randomly engage in 0-3 battles apiece. Developers are working on a fix that will make the elevator always choose the same amount of battles within a single seed (currently, two players running the same seed are //not// guaranteed the same number of battles), but still unknown to the player.+On the **Black Omen's** two elevators, you will randomly engage in 0-3 battles apiece. These are no longer randomized within the same seed: all players will fight the same elevator battles.

-At the **start of the game**, your first battle is guaranteed several critical hits. This is because every seed generates a never-before-played copy of the game, and the random number generator is not truly random. Instead it uses how many times the game has been reset or rebooted to determine its "random" values. In the first battle, of the player character turns, the character who goes second, fourth, and sixth will land critical hits.+At the **start of the game**, your first battle is guaranteed several critical hits.

 **Zenan Bridge** If you don't have the magical prowess to clear the skeletons in battle, three attacks against Ozzie (damage doesn't matter, just hit him three times) will end the fight. **Zenan Bridge** If you don't have the magical prowess to clear the skeletons in battle, three attacks against Ozzie (damage doesn't matter, just hit him three times) will end the fight.

 +**Double and Triple** techs can't miss. This can greatly benefit characters with lower hit stats like Crono and Robo.

 +When playing with **battle memory cursor**, use the X (menu) button to automatically register an auto-attack. Holding it down will automatically attack the default enemy without needing to mash; pressing it once will select auto-attack and allow you to choose the target before pressing again.
 +
 +**[[ATB Penalty]]**: Double and Triple techs impede the next ATB bar of one or more participants. This feature was not implemented exactly as intended and is worth learning about.
