Skipping the entire Angry Sea section in Crystalis (NES) - A Wild Glitch Appears! #shorts
1,137In Crystalis for the NES - which is a great game that's often considered a "hidden gem" - there's a way to skip the entire Angry Sea chapter of the game by ummm jumping into the ocean kind of.
In a normal playthrough of the game, you ride your dolphin toward the great beyond only to eventually find that your access to the world is limited. You will find that essentially you cannot access the northern sections of the world map because there is this crazy whirlpool that blocks your path, and you have to do an ENTIRE QUEST to get rid of it. It involves going through a sea cave, finding a broken statue, fighting multiple bosses, and fixing that broken statue with goddess magic or something.
But there's a real simple trick you can perform to skip like 45 minutes of gameplay. If you ride your dolphin out to the island with the altar where you would normally fix the broken statue, you precisely time a jump to the left which will cause your character to mysteriously fly.
Equip the Rabbit Boots (and nothing else that would occupy the A button) and swim with your dolphin until you are vertically aligned with the little sand triangle that sticks out from the island. Now swim north until the very frame that your dolphin touches the land, and immediately jump to the left. If you did it correctly, your character should now be flying above the water (as if you were using the FLY spell, which you won't access until much later in the game).
Now you can fly over the waterfall to access areas you aren't supposed to travel to until after the Angry Sea is tamed. Note that if you fly toward the back of that whirlpool that blocks your path, you will learn the Barrier ability, which is very important.
Anyway, now you can go on with the game as if you just did all the Angry Sea quests and stuff, even though you didn't!
