The Shield of Chronos is capable of reflecting any type of energy. It is stored inside the Grand Core where the Kid is able to retrieve it during Monster of Uncharted Seas.

History[]

Hero acquires Shield of Chronos

The Shield of Chronos is invented by Grand Regent Archimedes during the onset of the Direfolk War. He uses it to burn down the enemy ships during the Siege of the White City.[1] It was preceeded by the Shield of Chronos V1 which served as a prototype.

After its use during the war, the shield is being kept on display inside the Grand Core showroom. At that time, Hero is unable to collect the original and claims the prototype version instead. When the Grand Core lifts up into the skies, the shield is locked up inside for a thousand years. The Kid is the first person to enter the Grand Core after the Catastrophe and he finds the shield still inside the showroom. He claims it as his own and carries it forth on his adventures.

"This is the Shield of Chronos. It was designed by Archimedes before the creation of the Living Fortresses. The Shield of Chronos was used to defend Arcadia in the first Direfolk War. It reflected the sunlight and caused enemy ships to burst into flames. Later Archimedes used the same reflective technology in the Death Rays of the Living Fortresses."
