An escape tool, not a guaranteed safe landing
The September introduction positions Teleport Crystal as a way out, while warning that escape is not necessarily safe. Check the visible destination and your crew’s situation; no official numeric range or cooldown is published.
September 18 behavior corrections
Crouched right-click use was fixed, the invisible obstacle blocking throws toward Cracken on Ship was removed, and standing on the crystal no longer allows flight. Old videos relying on crystal flight describe removed behavior.
Do not infer combat statistics from collision fixes
The Ship fix establishes that a throw was obstructed, not that the crystal damages or kills Kraken. Price, unlock level and exact effect limits remain unverified in the public notes.
Old advice to check before using the crystal
The distinctions below separate the official change from the observation you can make in your own run. Practical next steps are guidance, not additional hidden mechanics.
| Situation | Evidence or example | How to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Standing on the crystal | Flight from standing on it was removed September 18. | Do not follow a route that depends on that old behavior. |
| Using it while crouched | Crouched right-click received a fix. | Retest on the current build before treating crouching as a permanent restriction. |
| Throwing from Ship | The obstruction toward Cracken was removed. | A clear throw is not evidence of a safe landing, damage or boss defeat. |
| Escaping with the crew | The introduction does not promise safety. | Communicate before leaving teammates or cargo in an unresolved situation. |
| Comparing exact stats | Range, cooldown and price are not supplied. | Use visible in-game information; this guide does not supply a hidden stat sheet. |
