How to Win 10.000 Points on S.S Zelbess

By Wash

Hey everyone! On this new version/port/remaster of Chrono Cross, they disable the option do Pause the game during the Roulette mini-game on the S.S Zelbess, and because of that, the trick where you could pause the game, see where the needle/compass was and then unpause the game to always hit Jackpot is gone!....Or is it?!

In this new version, it's a little trickier but the same can be applied! All you have to do, is press ESC while the compass/needle is spinning, until you see (will be a little difficult because this ESC Menu makes the game a little dark to see) the red pointer in this area between West and South!

After you see the red pointer is in this area, and this part is tricky, press ESC again while holding X (Playstation Controller) or A (Xbox Controller) that will make the input to stop de needle/compass, making you hit Jackpot if you get it right!

Your points will start to double, and in no time you'll get 10.000 points and the achivement!

The above method(s) did not work for me on the Steam Deck, however I found a consistent way to increase the odds in your favor. When you select to spin again, if you hold down A instead of releasing it, the timing of the compass will always land on the direction just after the last direction it was on, e.g if it last landed on West, it is now guaranteed to land on North. It isn’t much, but it does give you a slight edge and should help you get over 10,000 points more quickly than blindly guessing.

How do you do this on PC without a controller? I tried the windowed mode and clicking out of the screen, but it doesn't work. Pushing X/A/Enter just takes me into settings.

What about the version of the game on PS4/PS5? There's no ESC there.

The amount of luck I had with this one on xbox to 100% that version was rough, this just saved so much time for this version.

The same effect can be done by putting the game in window mode and clicking out of screen. this pauses the game, once in the S to W position hold X/A/OK and then click on the game and it works every time.
