The Black Omen is the most difficult and well-guarded area in the world of Chrono Trigger, and a scourge to all but the earliest of eras. Fashioned from the ruins of the Ocean Palace with the use of Lavos energy and the most arcane magic, it sails the sky as a dark presence - the polar opposite of Zeal, it is a shrine to Lavos and a testament to his destructive power. Queen Zeal is its primary architect, apparently resurrecting the Palace and filling it with incredibly powerful guardians and monsters. Its halls are dotted with automated defenses and robotic enemies, as well as horrific monsters unique to the Omen; these include a slew of Mutant bosses, who pose a serious threat to the party. A Lavos spawn also is available on-command; like many other enemies, it is summoned through the use of magic. These obstacles and the sheer length of the Black Omen make it a test of the heroes' endurance and stamina; its corridors are seemingly endless, as every inch is threatened by monsters. At the end lies the Mammon Machine, torn and battered from its previous incident in the Ocean Palace (though its dimensional equivalent in Keystone PD-1 is operational and combative). Upon the throne of the Omen is Zeal, fully corrupted by the power of Lavos and the presider over this nightmare. She reigns atop the Black Omen, whose surface provides a stunning vista of the planet below and the moon.
There are two saving graces for the Omen; firstly, a wide range of treasure is available. These items should not be missed (especially the Haste Helm and White Rock). Additionally, the endless Ruminators the haunt the main, blue corridors yield unlimited MegaElixirs when charmed, providing more than enough supplement to complete the dangerous Omen. Secondly, a rest point exists midway, occupied by two Nu. One offers a trip out in case the player prematurely assaulted the Omen; the second runs a small shop that includes HyperEthers.
