37		-* **Description:** It is possible to lose the Forcefield Spell  if Krystal dies with it, or if the game is shut off, before the internal checkpoint is updated; the player is then unable to get it back through normal means because the LightFoot is considered 'saved' at this point and will not reward the player with the spell again.
38		-* **Workaround:** It is advised to switch to Fox once the player gets the spell and to save the game as Fox in order to update the internal checkpoint in the game; this will permanently save the Forcefield Spell to the file. If the spell is already gone, one remedy would be to use the [[All Spells>>https://dinosaurpla.net/Main/Tech/Cheats/#HGeneral]] Gameshark code to enable the Forcefield Spell, though this will have the side effect of enabling all spells. Alternatively, it is possible to go to Volcano Force Point Temple as Fox to get it again; however, the game also puts an inactive DarkIce Mines SpellStone into Fox's inventory, which will require it being placed into Volcano Force Point in order to switch back. The game, especially Swapstone Hollow, will become unstable at this point from doing things out of order, and sequence triggers may fail later, thus this method is generally not recommended.

	37	+* **Workaround:** Use the [[Shield Saving Fix>>https://dinosaurpla.net/Main/Tech/Cheats/#HCodesthatfixproblems]] GameShark code, which prevents this issue. The code can be left running indefinitely. Alternatively, the issue can be avoided by swapping to Fox and saving once the player gets the spell in order to correctly update the internal checkpoint in the save; this will permanently save the Shield/Forcefield spell to the file.

44	44	* **Description:** The guard in Cape Claw that is blocking the cave won't let Krystal past him unless she provides him "something shiny". There are two gold nuggets that the player can find outside of Cape Claw, however the guard is unaffected by these. There is also a third 'Shiney Nugget' that the player can find in a cave closest to them that they can swim into, however the nugget despawns trying to get close to it, and the game will crash if the player enters the cave riding the log.
45		-* **Workaround:** Use the GameShark code {{code language="none"}}Shiny Nugget: 805C4C4F 0002{{/code}} to put the third nugget into Krystal's inventory. Alternatively, if the player would prefer to attempt to collect the Shiney Nugget legitimately, if the log can be maneuvered into the cave without despawning it, it's possible to pick up the Shiney Nugget. However, an item pickup fix code is required at this time, as it'll crash otherwise.
	44	+* **Workaround:** Use the GameShark code [[Shiney Nugget #3 [Cape Claw]>>https://dinosaurpla.net/Main/Tech/Cheats/#HKrystal]] to put the third nugget into Krystal's inventory. Alternatively, if the player would prefer to attempt to collect the Shiney Nugget legitimately, if the log can be maneuvered into the cave without despawning it, it's possible to pick up the Shiney Nugget. However, an item pickup fix code is required at this time, as it'll crash otherwise.
46	46	* **Notes:** The cave crash is a use-after-free in the Krystal DLL caused by the log object being deleted across the load trigger. This results in the log DLL being freed despite Krystal still holding a pointer to it. The crash can be avoided by incrementing the log DLL reference count but this causes the player to get stuck as the object still does not exist. A proper fix would require modifying the game to consider the log a valid object within the cave.
