To access more areas in Crystalis, you typically need to:
* Progress the story: The game is very linear, with each new area unlocked by completing the current one. Defeat bosses, gather key items, and solve puzzles to advance the plot and open up new paths.
* Obtain necessary items: Some areas might require specific items like keys, special weapons, or magical abilities to access. These are usually acquired through puzzles, boss battles, or hidden locations.
* Learn new spells: As you level up and learn new magic spells, you might be able to open up previously inaccessible areas by using specific spells or abilities.
* Use the map: The map in Crystalis is quite useful. Look for paths that seem blocked, and consider what abilities or items you might need to overcome those obstacles.
Here are some general tips:
* Talk to everyone: Many NPCs will provide clues and information that can help you progress.
* Search thoroughly: Don't just rush through areas. Look for hidden pathways, secret rooms, and hidden items.
* Experiment: If you're stuck, try using different items, weapons, or spells to see if they can interact with the environment in new ways.
Example: To access the desert area, you need to defeat the boss in the Forest of Darkness and acquire the ability to swim.
