Crash Bandicoot 4 - 100% Walkthrough - Toxic Tunnels - All Gems Perfect Relic

[@cakedreviews2811]

why you have the best crash walkthroughs: someone who actually shows the crate amount after each section. thank you

[@TayR0C]

yep

[@eanderson9599]

It’s crazy how many crate tutorials there are for this game on KZbin, but almost none of them show the crate amount. Defeats the purpose of the video imo

You gotta take breaks, if you keep dying after an hour, TAKE A BREAK for 10 minutes and let your brain and nerves rest. Also, I am much better in the mornings than at night. Just a pro tip for all of the frustrated Bandicoots out there!

[@bluuangel004]

Ervin Abrahamian I think so too. Been having trouble getting a perfect relic in Crash Landed for a few days but did it in one try as soon as I woke up this morning. Now in Toxic Tunnels and stuck trying to get a perfect relic again. :(

[@hamzahussain7794]

Thanks this is a great tip, I find myself much more relaxed and focused after a break. I have this level, cortex castle and seeing double left. I just wanna prove myself that I can do anything I set my mind to.

This one is definitely one of the hardest. I also spent a lot of time in Rush Hour - the last series of jumps over flying cars ruins your perfect run if you're not precise enough. And the level is long!

[@santimonto26]

Tip for the bonus: the game is very clever in reminding you that if you spin as you land, you won't jump on the metal arrow boxes (this is the first box you break in the bonus). The bonus gets massively easier if you just do the same at the final metal arrow box instead of trying to make the jump missing the Nitro.

[@Gilgamete]

I'm very glad that this mechanic is still present. I abused it all the time back in the ps1 xd

[@neilmiranda6739]

As always, this is an excellent guide by Maka. He's my hero! I would like to offer 3 alternative suggestions for a few of the trickier spots: 2:10 mark - rather than sliding under the electricity and then immediately moving back left, I find it much easier to simply crawl under electricity to the very edge, stand up, and slide jump across the gap from there. You won't be touched. 4:45 mark - I've found it easier to wait for the swinging electric bar to head right. I then slide jump toward the tnt crate, but land on the edge to the left of it and immediately duck. The electric bar will swing left over you. Then just hop on the tnt crate and catch a ride as the bar swings right again. 5:00 mark - The infamous bouncing crate. For this, hop onto the fire seesaw platform on the right and double jump thru the gap at the top of the tnt crates. Now we only have to deal with the bouncing crate once and, hopefully, we held onto our mask But here's the best part. To my eye, it appears that it takes the bounce box a sec to reach full speed. So trigger the tnt and position yourself just far enough to the right to avoid it. As soon as it blows, immediately run left and short jump (if timed correctly, the box should just be bouncing up for the first time as you short jump). I can't say it is 100% full proof but I never gotten hit by the box once I learned this. Hope this helps. Great Vid, Maka. You're the man.

[@erichollingback]

Alot of people don't know there but if you spin as you land on a Iron bouncing crates it cancels the bounce and you can stand stand on it. This makes the bonus level easy.

[@alexanderburkhart4078]

Almost 3 years later, and I finally perfected this level!

[@kris4steph]

Ive just managed to get the perfect relic and ive figured out a simpler method were you can pass the bouncing box on the yellow gem route everytime first try.... When you arrive at the location don't just jump off the rotating platforms and detonate the tnt boxes. If you look first you'll notice a body sized space between the stack of boxes and the ceiling above it. So jump off the platform and go through this gap to the otherside and when yav collected the boxes and fruit detonate the tnt and obviously stand out the way of the explosion. The very very second after the explosion finishes you have a brief moment to jump through before the box drops and starts bouncing like crazy.

[@HusKyCode]

This strat is really easy to pull off. Thanks! edit. Got that perfect relic after several attempts too. :-)

[@mrgrimm53]

I was thinking about that when watching this video for all the boxes. Didn't try it out yet, because I didn't want to go for the perfect relic. I need to get everything inverted first and then I'll go clean up the rest.. But good to know the strategy I had in mind really works.

That'll bring you to 41 crates by the time you reach the 1st checkpoint of this level. Just a random tip. Nice job with the guide!

Not sure if this has happened to anyone else, but the box at 7:49 seems to be glitched. If you die once after reaching the next checkpoint, that box will spawn back.

If you do it correctly, you will be standing right at the edge of the arrow crate. Slide to the left and there you go! Now you've broken the box and the tnt is activated but you have skipped the painful jump over the falling crate! Now go for the hidden gem and complete the level. You can do it!

[@Willy2537]

For those struggling at the TNT/Fast bounching metal box part around the 5:00 mark, I think I might found an easier solution to get through this: The gap at the top of the box stack actually can be jump through if you time your slide-jump from the swinging platform right. You can get through to the other side WITHOUT detonating the TNT first. After you grab everything there, destroy the wooden box to allow the TNT to start counting down. RIGHT AFTER the TNTs exploded, there will be a tiny window where the metal box at the top will fall slower than usual and won't damage if you happen to contact with it. Use this precious window to jump through the gap (after making sure that you stay some distance away so you don't get blown up by the TNTs beforehand). I managed to do pull it off twice in a row in my N-Sanely Perfect Run and both times they actually worked. I personally found it much easier than having to time my jump through the bouncing box perfectly lol, otherwise I have to guarantee that the mask I picked up along the way during the Red Gem section stays with me until this part so I could be guaranteed to take one damage here lol. At any rate, thank you so much Maka for this video. :) After almost three hours, I finally achieved the N-Sanely Perfect relic at long last. Felt so awesome right now xD. If I can take on this insane level, I think I can take on everything now lol. Practice really does make perfect. After a while, you really get to know when and where to jump so you can avoid all the traps and enemies in your way and don't fall to your deaths. I used to do so much double jumps in the Gems section but that actually is quite counter-intuitive there. Most of the obstacles in the Gems section only require a single jump to avoid, especially the mine cart sections. Doing double jumps could make you overshoot your landing area and fall off the platform and/or land right in front of another running cart with no time to avoid it.

For anyone who keeps missing a box, theres a pesky hidden box in the green gem gauntlet. Once you slide jump away from that tight space close to the wall, you'll want to slide jump on top of it, since there is a box just hiding there.

At 4:57 you could carefully double jump off the moving platforms and go over the metal boxes and tnts. It would save one jump through the bouncy boxes and the first bounce right after the tnt has exploded is slow allowing more time to jump through.

[@Virttreks]

5:00 if you still need help I got you Just like him, jump on top of the metal box to get past it, but what I did was jump before I blow the tnt crates up. So go on the fire pedestal after the flames die down (obviously) then jump over the metal crate and get the 4 bouncy boxes. After that is done there’s one of two choices. A) if you have a mask just jump and spin into the tnt boxes, you’ll lose your mask, but you won’t have to time the jump and die. You’ll already be back on the other side. B) if you don’t have a mask to spare, go ahead and hit the bottom box, and do what he did. This is tricky. (I did option A, so I don’t have any advice for option B, sorry) good luck and play on brother.

Ty for the good guides. Going for perfect relic will take some time.. got a easy tip of you found Makas way a bit hard, it's on the first electricbeam on the Green elevator. Instead of sliding and jumping and have good aim, just jump and press Crash against the wall above the beam and then release your joystick. Now you are as close to the beams as you can, then just do a slide jump . Easy and you don't need to do any precision slide jumping

Despite the constant fails in the gem route and some silly mistakes. I managed to get the perfect relic. Some things I did different to this run was: Crouch jump from the platform with nitros and the rat. I always reach the swinging pole this way. Perform a sorta glitch trick on the bouncing crate near the end of the yellow gem route. You have to keep jumping at a certain angle and the game will think you are standing on the edge of a crate. Then slide past the wooden crate and reach the other side as the tnt start counting down. Lastly I cleared the rats out of the mines after beating the bonus round. Makes that section way easier.

4:55 - For those, like me, who struggled with the jump at the end of the yellow gem, there's a more consistent way to do it. Carry your mask to that part, use the moving platform right at the top of its pattern to slide over the metal crate so you're on the other side. Once you're in, get the fruit, smash the 4 crates and spin through the TNT. You'll land on the other side. Keeping the mask isn't easy, but it's much easier than the stupid jump required.

Yellow Gem Bouncing Crate Strategy: 1) Slide from the top of the flame platform *over* the stack to enter the wumpa fruit area. Collect everything and trigger the tnt’s to blow the stack. 2) Set Up: While remaining on the ground, walk crash left into the arrow crate. Then, pull the stick diagonally down and left so he walks toward the camera into the corner of the box. Don’t worry, an invisible wall is preventing him from walking off the edge, so get real snug. 3) Now that you’re wedged in the corner, hold the stick left. 4) At the instant the box bounces, do a tiny jump. (You can use the audio cue of the box bouncing to help time it. I do a few practice taps before sending it. tap-tap-tap-GO) 5) don’t jump straight off the edge once you make it through!!! (You will, but don’t, but you will, but seriously don’t)

Definitely one of, if not the hardest level in the entire game. I must have died/failed at least 50 times before i got it.

[@mrbenzema4030]

After 3-4 hours for the perfect Relic i feel proud but also pain in my head 😂

[@TheKinglaharl]

If anyone still looking. An alternative way to get through the fast metal crate. If you can keep the mask, Jump over the boxes the first time without breaking the wooden box. Spin jump your way through the TNT on your way out. It burns your mask. But it's a LOT easier than timing the jump through the metal crate

[@VigilantWings]

I did it 5th try and got the perfect relic thanks to your video 😭😭 so happy

[@bigal6261]

The part at 5:10 in the end of the that section where you have to time the jump through the bouncing metal crate… I found an easier way. Keep a mask to that point and then jump over the whole stack then on the way back jump spin right through the tnt and you’re all set

[@hmzagd12333]

the colored gem path level took me 70 deaths i struggled so much but i finally 100% the game

[@sandiegotrafficlightstrain354]

And the worst of it is that theres no checkpoint.

[@y64]

Thank you so much man. Your guides were the reason I got the platinum trophy today! :)

[@Amy-tw3zh]

The hardest level for me was crate escape, however this one is beginning to frustrate me as I am on the 100 death mark 😤

[@danielderobleskaloyan1280]

Just got the perfect relic!, took me the entire day, somehow i managed to have 2 aku aku’s masks at the last part with all the bats, have 37/38 perfect relics just cortex castle to go😩

[@MegaJoanna1988]

Also on the bonus level it makes it easier if you spin right as you land on that metal bouncy box to avoid being bounced into the nitro. Once you do that you can slide and jump over to the end platform.

[@zurgswornenemyofbuzzlighty2512]

I made it to the end without dying trying to get the insanely perfect relic and missed one box then it took me 5 hours to get to the end again and get that one box I missed. I got it though

[@TheAce24]

Happened to me too. I got to the end after 4 hours ecstatic because I thought I got the perfect relic, only to have my soul crushed when it said I was missing two boxes… It took me another 4 hours to finally do it and get the perfect relic…

[@CosmicVoid420]

This level kicked my ass and was bullshit the first time I played this game. I did everything perfectly but accidentally got fucked up by the very last bat because of the shitty depth perception. But after practice and when you already have the relic the level is alright. I already have 106 percent and I like to revisit this level and go for the N Sane relic again.

[@azliljon]

For the stack of tnt on the gem portion, you can jump right after they explode to clear it. The box falls the slowest right after they blow. Worse case, if you can’t get it down, I would say try burning a mask to just spin jump straight through. This was probably the hardest portion for me until I figured it out.

[@azliljon]

Oh this is if you jump over the stack first before blowing it up

[@tachyomatic4318]

I wondered why I stopped trying to go for the platinum and booted up crash again a couple days ago and quickly remembered why I stopped trying to attempt this perfect relic. I'm downbad but I'm hellbent on finishing this shit, yellow gem is a bitch

[@natethegreat3320]

I will take a break after getting all the gems and platinum flash back tapes. Im burnt out

[@unknownperson5904]

I missed one box...ONE BOX... One box after several hours of pain. Thank you, Toy for Bob, I'm giving up on life.

[@officialFredDurstfanclub]

I have ZERO idea how I got through this on like my third or fourth try. Was absolutely nerve wracking but this guide was a massive help

[@ThunderboltAJK]

I have a platinum in all Dark Souls games, Sekiro and Bloodborne…and I still think this level is ridiculous. Everything about it is bad from enemy placement to layout and design.

[@cheetahlko986]

The platinum trophies of soul series are much easier than this game, I think.

[@Batman-jc5uc]

I agree. I stopped playing the game here. This level was too poorly designed and just beyond hard. It was sadistic.

[@131x]

This was fantastic thank you. Just got the n. sanely perfect relic took me like 3 fucking days. Im already having nightmares about the platinum time trial.

[@saraspolnik4282]

Fuck this level... i gave up once you said that theres no check points in the GEM levels. I just completed it with no boxes or fruit...

[@elzicgiic3639]

Died 14 times with all crates. Practice makes peefect

[@saraspolnik4282]

@@elzicgiic3639 i have other things to do than to try and do this level with all boxes completed. Im not going to spend hours upon hours trying to do it. Good for you though being able to do it!

[@Sergio-sr6ed]

Thanks for your guides, it's very helpful By the way, in this video, At every checkpoint, the boxes you showed us were one less than what they should have been.

[@NoName-dt2st]

Awesome detailed video but I think Ive pulled all of my hair out twice with frustration playing this..they made this game way too hard. I used to love all the old crash games though

[@Wyatt_Nichols_]

Hey guys. I knew from the start I might regret starting this game. Im leaving this comment to come back to after I finish this level. It’s my last one before being completely finished. I will let y’all know how it went if I still have my sanity

[@genki1164]

Still sane, or n.sane?

[@armandbireaud9281]

I can't believe it but I just got the perfect relic. Didn't get hit once but lost my 1st mask by dying in the bonus level. My hands are shaking right now. Now cortex castle

[@leecoetzee2402]

This is my last perfect relics before I platinum the game... what a journey? I nearly stopped playing it about 100 times but I persisted....

[@leecoetzee2402]

Just got the ps 4 platinum for crash 4.... I wonder how many guys have the platinum trophy for both versions?

[@Nosoulnopower]

10:00 What I do for here is that I stay in that back area as the carts go by and when the ones with the rats are approaching, I double jump onto them and I spin them away as I'm landing on them, clears up all the carts to make things easier.
