Silly thought, but is this possible?

Can one reach Crystal desert in Pre by exploring? Solo??

I'm enjoying the view, doing quests here and there and taking my sweet time before I move on to Post.

Sorry, but you're confined to just those 4-5 areas.

No, in pre-searing you can just wisit a few of the explorables (5 to be exact) around Ascalon City.

Thanks. I'll stop banging my head against the rocks or trying to cross rivers for nothing then!

I appreciate the quick response.
