10 Video Game Final Bosses You Can Defeat In The Opening Act
6. Lavos (Chrono Trigger)
Like with Heldalf, you have multiple opportunities to kill the famous JRPG villain Lavos throughout the story of Chrono Trigger. In the first playthrough, you're more than likely thrashed royally, but if you play your cards right, you can kill it the first time it tries to take you out.
Doing so, like every other action in this time traveling adventure, nets you a different ending. There's no true ending to Chrono Trigger, not really, but there are tons of good endings, and most of them are - surprise surprise - achieved by taking out Lavos earlier than the game usually allows you to.
Like we said, the only way to actually beat Lavos any earlier than the game typically allows is to do some heavy level grinding, start a new game+, or really know what you're doing. But considering that doing so will net you better and better endings, it's more than worth it.
