Crash Bandicoot 3 Warped: Ring Of Power 1st Cleared Gem

Part of Leave No Gem Unturned (Earn 21 Gems) (GOLD) and Bringing Down the House (Earn 42 Gems) (GOLD) Trophies

There are a total of 45 Gems in Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped. For this trophy you only need 42/45, however to get the trophy “Accept No Substitutes” you will need all 45!

The game has two types of Gems:

Colored Gems (5 total)

Obtained by doing certain actions in the following missions:

Blue: Tomb Wader – found on the death route (must get there without losing a life)
Red: Deep Trouble – hit the “!” exclamation point box at the end of the level. This spawns a dynamite box a little earlier in the level (requires backtracking). Now you can touch the dynamite box to blast away the metal boxes blocking the path. This reveals a secret route. Pick up the red gem at the end of this secret route.
Green: Flaming Passion – found on death route
Yellow: Hang’em High – on the main path at the end of Level 27: Hang’ Em High. To access the level you must earn 10 relics by doing speedruns (after beating a level once you can pick up a stopwatch at the start. Get a best time to earn a relic). Once you have 10 relics step on the orange dot in the middle of the central warp room (where you select levels). It leads to a secret 6th warp room in the basement. From here you can start level 27. You’ll walk into the gem at the end of this level, it’s practically in your way and hard to miss.
Purple: High Time – found on death route

Clear Gems (37 total)

One clear gem per level is obtained by destroying all boxes. In several levels you need colored gems, they open up new paths to boxes that are otherwise inaccessible!

Some levels contain more than one clear gem. If it has 2 gems that means there’s one from destroying all boxes + one from a death route or gem route. If a mission has only 1 gem it will be from destroying all boxes only.

Death Routes are triggered by special platforms with a skull & bones sign on them. They can only be activated if you haven’t lost a life during the level! Get to the platform without dying and step on it.

Here’s a list of missions that have two clear gems (including the location of their second gem):

Level 4: Bone Yard (on Red Gem Path)
Level 9: Tomb Time (on Death Route)
Level 11: Dino Might! (on Yellow Gem Path)
Level 16: Sphynxinator (on Blue Gem Path)
Level 19: Future Frenzy (Go through second level entrance. It’s found in warp room 6, in the basement. Step on orange platform in the central warp room from where you select levels to get to the basement. You must earn 20 relics to unlock this alternate level entrance)
Level 21: Gone Tomorrow (on Green Gem Path)
Level 25: Bug Lite (on Multicolored Gem Path, requires all 5 colored gems)
Level 28: Area 51? (for winning the race)
Level 30: Rings of Power (for winning the race)
Also keep in mind that the two hidden bonus levels contain gems. See trophy “Giving 102%!”.

It’s important that you get all the colored gems first. Without them you can’t get some of the boxes. Gems are level rewards rather than collectibles. To see how many boxes you’ve destroyed during an active mission press the Triangle-Button.
