Advice on a my (damaged) copy of Xenogears Anonymous Wed Jul 14 03:07:11 2021 No.7948009 [Reply] [Original]

So I picked up a copy of Xenogears from a used games shop a while back while I was on vacation and I’ve recently tried playing through it on my ps2. I got through the village and the first gear fight fine but as soon as I encounter an enemy in the Darkmoon Forrest the screen stays black and the music plays endlessly.
After googling it seems like I’m the only one to break down in that specific spot, so I’m guessing it’s due to the scratches on the back of the disc.
I’ve tried wiping them with alcohol, I tried the toothpaste trick, I tried running them on two separate ps1s and it wouldn’t even load.
I really don’t feel like dropping $100 plus for another used copy.
Should I get it refurbished?
Is there a way of not triggering random encounters so I can skip to the next part of the game?
