Cola Bottle is AMAZING

It's well worth it to level up to at least 16, load up on the best items from crafting, and have a save file set up right as you're ready to take on the Mammoth King for a 1 in 3 chance of getting the Cola Bottle. Beyond crushing the prehistoric boss with it, you can start as Pogo or head right to him in the final chapter and it trivializes the rest of the game, which I am grateful for on my 3rd and final playthrough now for the plat on PS5.

Beyond that, knowing a thing or two about GETTING THROUGH THE GAME is pretty awesome and here is where to find that out -

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND crafting a ton of "Pretty Flower" before finishing Prehistory.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND "crafting" a ton of "Biker Belt" before finishing Near Future; and at least 2x "Showa Goldfish Launcher" to be used infinitely as items by Akira and his pet robot as needed.

My favorite character is Sundown Kid 'cause, you know, "Your mother's...maybe."

This game is to Chrono Trigger as Final Fantasy Mystic Quest is to Final Fantasy IV in that it's "kinda, sorta similar from some sort of perspective," but VERY DUMBED DOWN, yet beautiful and most importantly ENJOYABLE. I've seen people complain about how nonstop random encounters get annoying in the final chapter and indeed they do, but that's actually a good thing when you reference the achievements "Arbiter of Destined Death" and "Heart's Potential." Running away is quick and guaranteed. The boss fight music will almost certainly get you "pumped." Live A Live is quirky and fun; not up there with the greatest games of all time, but well worth a playthrough.

Final note: I'm pretty sure the Cola Bottle is some sort of reference to the film, "The Gods Must Be Crazy." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gods_Must_Be_Crazy#:~:text=Uys%20chose%20a%20Coca-Cola,ve%20never%20seen%20glass%20before%22.
