After finding a secret passage, they find themselves in the underground Grimly Kingdom, inhabited by the Grimlies. While on their way to the lair of the Grimly King, they come across a goofy-looking Grimly who challenges them to a fight. Oddly enough, the Grimly doesn't fight back and is beaten by Crash and the gang. The Grimly sobs loudly to their surprise and admits he is not as mean as the other Grimlies. He introduces himself as Grimmy and explains that because of his kindness, King Grimly banished him and he became an outcast. Crash and the others feel sorry for him and decide to let him join them on their quest to get back at the other Grimlies. He gladly accepts and says he knows a shortcut into the king's lair. He shows them his abilities, like levitating over dangerous obstacles and turning invisible to hide from searchlights. Soon, they manage to enter the throne room of King Grimly, who is surprised to see Grimmy back after his banishment and having joined up with the enemy.

Grimmy decides to continue traveling with Crash and show the upper world that even Grimlies and normal people can get along.
 * Epilogue 8: After learning about the Grimlies' defeat and that Crash has a Grimly on his side now, Uka Uka is furious that Cortex has failed to defeat them. He tells Cortex to send N.Tropy to guard the last crystal. Cortex happily agrees, since N.Tropy is much more competent then the others.

After solving many clues and puzzles they find the entrance and confront N.Tropy. After a long and frustrating battle, they manage to defeat him, and collect the final crystal, the Ice Crystal! Now they can go to Cortex's lair and defeat him once and for all!
 * Epilogue 9: N.Gin tells Cortex that Crash and his friends have collected all the Elemental Crystals and are probably on their way here now. Cortex worriedly says that is not possible and the doomsday machine isn't fully completed yet. But then he realizes that Crash will just bring the crystals to him and he will use them to complete his plan. Coco and Crunch text Crash once more, just as they are caught by Cortex and N.Gin. Crash and the others don't get the full message and realize that Coco and Crunch are in real danger. They head back to Kangaroo Village and the elder shows them a shortcut to Cortex's lair. He uses a portal to send them to the entrance of Cortex's volcano lair.
 * Chapter 9: The Final Confrontation: Crash and his friends have finally reached Cortex's secret lair and realize they will have to work together and use all their special abilities to save the world and everyone they love. They are treated by Cortex's foot soldiers and other minions. After fighting henchman, solving puzzles and overcoming various obstacles, they meet up with N.Gin who is holding Coco and Crunch in a spherical cage above them. N.Gin fights them with a laser gun, bazooka and even a robot suit, but he ends up being defeated anyway. After his defeat, the cage lowers down and Coco and Crunch are freed by Crash and the others. Crash and Aku Aku introduce them to Kango, Dripper, Klunk, Glowy, Nelson, Belle, Dingo Dan and Grimmy. Coco tells them that Cortex is expecting them on the top floor and is planning to use the crystals to power his doomsday machine. Crash and the others realize that they must think of a way to trick Cortex and destroy his machine. When Crash and the gang reach Cortex's quarters, he takes the crystals from them and puts them in the Doomsday Machine. But instead of powering up, the machine short circuits and eventually explodes. Coco has switched the real crystals with rock candy replicas and a furious Cortex vows he will destroy them for this. He goes into a giant robot resembling himself and fights them. After many frustrating hours, Cortex is finally defeated. His robot explodes, launching Cortex far away on another island far from the volcano. Crash and the others decide to head back to Wumpa Island for a celebration where they invite all their friends and family to join the fun. Meanwhile, Cortex is revealed to have landed on an island inhabited by a tribe of kiwis who take him prisoner.
