You must cast spells, make the balls appear in order of the Lunar Dragon The song is: Earth, Fire, Tree, Water, Gravity, Sky, and Chrono Cross It helps if you build everyone to Slot 8 and have each element in Slot 1 Use healing spells so Time Devourer won't counter and screw up your ball order That's it, you're done.
