    This is going to be the big one. I cannot imagine even a decent fraction of people will be able to input the required patience and skill to be able to reach this achievement, as it means that you have to essentially play the entire game perfectly. Including the *cursed* animal sections.

    To get an N.Sanely Perfect relic, you have to break every box in each level without truly dying. Deaths in the bonus rooms do NOT count as true deaths, and are allowed.

    Only the 38 standard levels will give out these relics. Just like the time trials, the N.Verted levels do not count towards this. Boss battles do not give out these Relics, and are thereby unnecessary.

    As you complete these relics, you will also unlock the two following achievements.

    And likely many more. I definitely expect this to be most people's last achievement. Good luck.

    Tucky90Yeah it is the Bear level, and Toxic tunnels that have me worried. 2nd riding level is a pain but control and hit detection feels way better in that level. plus blue path nowhere near as bad as the yellow. Not to worried bout Cortext castle cause the tape is at the end so you have to basically do it without dying for that anyways. O and the alternative timeline for Run it Bayou.

    Tendoman77Sure about that? I found the Yellow Gem path to be easier than the Blue one despite being based on Crash 1's infamous bridge levels, did it in my first try while the final section of the Blue Gem path was a absolute pain to get through.

    Heck if I had to order Crash 4's solo gem paths from hardest to easiest, it be Blue, Green, Yellow, Red.

    Tucky90Suppose that really boils down to individual gamers. But yeah had way more trouble on Yellow (admittedly may have been a bit short on concentration that day). For me its probably, Green/Yellow/Blue/Red.

    Shand Alk3You CAN get the perfect relic in N. Verted mode and it'll count towards getting the relic for that level.

    Maka does every level perfectly and has commentary with it. https://www.youtube.com/c/Maka91Productions

    Tucky90@Shand. Yeah can confirm this, although it is not really an advantage for most levels. The big city at the end though its massive advantage.

    MulgikapsasI have two questing regarding breaking the boxes. When you hit the detonator for nitros at the end of the level, does it break normal boxes adjacent to nitros? I've seen it happen on screen but I don't know if it's the case off screen.
    Secondly, do all boxes need to be broken specifically by Crash? If on a chase stage the boxes are broken by thing chasing crash, does it count?

    Level 75 Noob@Muigikapsas. I know that in the original PS1 games, hitting the nitro detonator did not destroy adjacent crates from earlier in the level. In Crash 4, it does seem to destroy them at least as long as they are somewhat nearby. The flashback levels are a good example. Best to not leave it to chance though. As for your second question, as long as the boxes are broken, regardless of what broke them, they count. You just won't get the fruit from them if it wasn't you.

    Tucky90@Muigikapsas. I can confirm 100% nitro will blow up stuff next to it. I left plenty of annoying boxes next to nitro.

    Level 75 Noob37/38 Now. Hopefully complete soon. Just Toxic Tunnels left. Problem is when I was doing the gems, I got all the way to just after the last checkpoint without dying before falling short of the bushel crate on the side. Haven't been able to replicate that since. Back in my day, the invulnerability mask meant NOTHING could kill you except a long fall or whatever might be chasing you. But the developers just pick and choose certain things that kill you in 1 hit anyway.
