12 000 B.C. is a weird fucking era... On the ground, there's not much happening. There's kind of an ice age going on, and all I could find was an empty cave, and a weird portal thing. I went through the portal and we found ourselves on a floating island, high above ground level. There's a group of people who live on these floating islands, and they all have magical abilities. They call themselves the Enlightened Ones.
They clearly have a lot of technology, though they all seem pretty rude. I explored a couple of little towns here. Apparently, they use the power of Lavos to power a big machine, the Mammon machine, that helps them lead idyllic lives. There's a brother and sister, Schala and Janus, who serve the kingdom's queen. Schala is mature, and has powerful magical abilities. Janus is super weird, being socially inept and unable to use magic.
Schala has a magical pendant that is very similar to Marle's. She charges it by using the Mammon machine, then goes through a sealed door by using the pendant's magic. Crono goes to the machine and charges his pendant the same way, allowing him to access sealed doors. The team is then attacked by a creature sent by the elite of the Enlightened Ones.
The Golem was a really tough fight, but mostly because I didn't understand it's trick until much later in the battle. The thing is, this guy will copy any abilities that are used against him then he'll use them on the team. After fighting like crazy and losing people left and right, I figured out that if I alternated magic attacks of different types, the Golem didn't hit as hard as before.
I beat him, but was captured by the Enlightened Ones, then sent back through a time portal by them. Schala sealed the portal behind us, leaving us stranded in 65 million B.C.. We had gathered information that led us to the future, where we are supposed to find a special vehicle that can travel through time.
After going through the sewers, we found a hidden ship called the Epoch that can travel through time without going to Time's End. I think I went back to 12 000 B.C., but the pathway to the sky islands is closed. I found a different path where I met with some "normal" humans, who don't have magical powers. I bought a bunch of new weapons, armor and items, and I'm about to enter a beast nest of some sort.
