20 Glitches That EASILY Unlock Difficult Trophies

19. The Ultimate Gem Path - Crash Bandicoot

Beating the original Crash Bandicoot is anything but easy, but for completionists, Naughty Dog's crate-smashing platformer feels like an exercise for futility. To unlock a secret epilogue and receive The Ultimate Gem Path Achievement, Crash needs to collect every Gem. To earn these Gems, the titular marsupial must destroy every crate in each level and reach the goal without dying.

Even though Crash loyalists can accomplish this task for the most part, The High Road level proves to be the biggest roadblock. The tight camera and foggy terrain make it difficult to see what obstacles lie ahead, causing Crash to run ahead blind. The bridge has breakable planks and slippery ice, so plummeting below is guaranteed. The wacky bandicoot needs to bounce on tortoise enemies to reach out-of-reach places, which requires pixel-perfect jumps and cat-like reflexes.

And remember? If Crash loses a life or miss one box, it's back to square one.

Fortunately, there's a way to make The High Road more manageable. By simply hopping on the side ropes, Crash can stroll through the hardest sections of this infuriating level. 

The Gem can be claimed in two minutes with this strategy, turning the hardest part of this Achievement into the easiest.
