▷Crash Bandicoot 4: All Hidden Gem Crates & Locations | 1-1: 100% Rude Awakening Guide 🥇

Below, I'll list all the general crates for each zone, but make special mention of all the easy-to-miss crates. Most of the checkouts are just out in the open - I don't need to explain where they are, but I will keep a checking account. All hard-to-find or hidden crates will receive a special entry. You will also find the location of the hidden gem for each stage below. And there are a lot of steps, so let's get started.

1-1: Sudden awakening | All crates and hidden gems

7/104: Outdoors. You can't miss them.

[[Easy to miss] 8/104: Behind a small ruin, you have to jump over it, in front of the two enemies of the crab.

27/104: The Checkpoint block and the following blocks along the way. There are many leading to inner ruin. This count ends at the Checkpoint counter outside the Inner Ruin.

53/104: Inside the ruins. Don't miss the TNT blocks or the two floating blocks near the entrance. One is on the steps leading inside. Three are under the huge set of 15 near the exit.

62/104: On the rope vine. There are 9 of them - jump to get them. Die if you miss and restart at the previous checkpoint.

72/104: Past the vineyard, from the checkpoint - these boxes are easily visible in the village.

Hidden gem: When you reach the top of the village, you will have to slide under a hut. Instead of sliding, crawl under it and jump into the hidden space to collect this gem.

77/104: After the hidden gem, there are four more crates - one, the checkpoint and two under the bonus room.

85/104: 8 crates are in the bonus room. Step on the "? »Platform to access the bonus area. There is no trick to this one. Just hold [Jump] on the rebound pad to gain more lift to reach the raised body.

93/104: 8 other crates are found in the cave. Break them all up to the checkpoint in the cave exit.

96/104: 3 crates are on the circular platforms before reaching the wall.

104/104: The last 7 crates are on the way to the wall of ruins towards the end.
