The Chronophage is a magic device in Sea of Stars. It was placed in the Moorlands by Resh'an. Defeating Elysan'darëlle is mandatory to trigger its monoliths to glow.
Appearance[]
The Chonophage is round and pink with a golden casing. It resides in the center depression of a large round monolith. This monolith is the top of a ring consisting of seven other monoliths, which are vertically-shaped and covered in engravings. These engravings can glow pink.
Main Story[]
The Chronophage is a mysterious magical device seen manifesting into the Moorlands after the player completes the initial ending by defeating Elysan'darëlle. This allows the seven nearby vertical monoliths to have their engravings begin glowing pink when certain activities are completed. The upper-left monolith glows by default, symbolizing Elysan'darëlle's defeat, though the other monoliths will simultaneously begin glowing after her defeat if the appropriate prerequisites have already been met.
If The Chronophage is not fully activated, interacting with the device simply states "The mysterious device is inactive." Monoliths that have not been completed yet can be interacted with to see a vision, a sprite of the character that has a connection with the interacted monolith, on a black background. Five of the seven monoliths are tied to characters who request the party leader's help when spoken to either at a campfire or on The Vespertine after defeating the Dweller of Dread. Once a prerequisite is met, the camera shifts to the Moorlands to display a new monolith glowing.
When The Chronophage is fully activated, the party can interact with it to begin a cutscene. B'st explains that Resh'an briefed him on The Chronophage while he was producing B'st's Living Glass form. The former describes the device as Resh'an's parting gift for Zale and Valere, enchanted to activate to the two's initial deeds as up-and-coming Guardian Gods. B'st knows that the device is safe and that it will take Zale, Valere, and himself to an unknown place, after being provided the memento of a happy memory.
After using the Cookie Jar, the trio find themselves in the time loop created by Resh'an at the Clockwork Castle, the moment before Garl's fatal injury. While Resh'an distracts Aephorul, the party leader grabs Garl. The two Solstice Warriors leave with Garl in tow and return back to the Moorlands, while B'st takes Garl's place, shapeshifting into Garl's form. Later, the party retrieves B'st from underneath the ground beneath the Celestial Willow at Mooncradle.
The Quiz Master describes The Chronophage during a quiz question, stating that Resh'an placed an anchor in time linked to a magic device (The Chronophage) which he would later place in the Moorlands.
