Ok so roll on with the walkthrough... P.S.: Please forgive any grammar error. As we live in Greece, English is not our mother language and so we have some difficulties expressing ourselves correctly...thank you for your comprehension. /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ ¦•About Us... ¦ \~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/ We're 2 pals though they would write a walkthrough for one of their best game in their collection...We're not amateur at all here are our walkthroughs : •Samy : Toy Story 2 Complete walkthrough for the PlayStation Amerzone Complete walkthrough for the PSX / PC •Dim : Egypt Walkthrough for the PC (must complete it...damn how time flies...!!). You see ?I'm (Samy) some kind of experienced in Walkthroughs and more particularly in Platform walkthrough as I've managed to do a massive 72K walkthrough for T.S 2...Of course we finish ALL of our walkthrough BUT it may sometime take some time as we also have to work...Don't worry, we'll probably finish this walkthrough before the end of the month, if not at the start of the next month... P.S. : We are students at the French School of Thessaloniki (it's in Greece...)and we would like to make a small announcement: WE HATE OUR SUPERVISOR!!! He is a worldwide asshole, he is very ugly, his wife is very ugly, and he also hates all of us! So we (Samy and Dim) decided to create an e-mail where we can express our anger for him. We write to everybody who wants to be a member, we send pictures of our supervisor and his wife, little films of him and this kind of stuff. So if you want to become a member, just write for contributions or letters of encouragement to : antiandre@hotmail.com (his name is Jean-Pierre Andre...).Thanks to everyone. /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ ¦•The walkthrough... ¦ (~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~) ¦ •The controls... ¦ \~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/ At the start of the game the controls are quite easy and simple so here are the basic moves : •D-Pad or left analogue stick : Moves Spyro left or right and makes it dive or rise when he is in the air... •Press to make a charge attack...In the first game there were ramps which you can use to make a super charge attack...No ramps in this second game but power-ups who make Spyro go fast...Really fast...In the latest level these power-ups will be your worst nightmares... •Press X to jump...While in the air press X again to glide...Some power-ups and levels allows Spyro to fly...To fly press X while in the air BUT remember that when you fly the controls are reversed so to rise press down and to dive press up... The X button is the most useful button in the game, you'll soon learn that you can go a tiny bit further when you glide by pressing Triangle at the end of the glide...You'll have to master this technique if you want to come through the last levels or you'll stay behind...Hopefully the learning curve in Spyro 2 is veery smooth so you'll learn it progressively... •Press O for a fire breath attack...This button is almost as useful as the X button as most enemies will go down with only one breath...Power- ups will allow you to do a super fire breath attack or a ice attack ...Use them wisely as you can use them only for a short period...You'll also encounter some spherical things(lava balls, plants and some other stuff...)stand next to them and Spyro will take them in his mouth...Press O and he'll throw them but you can also target your enemies by pressing triangle... •Press triangle to bring the first person view mode on ...You can now look around with the D-pad...You can also target the enemies by pressing triangle when you have a weapon in your mouth... •Press R2 or L2 buttons to rotate the camera around Spyro (hint : The camera can't go through walls so if you want to look forward press triangle...)... •Special moves : Spyro can learn special moves by buying them from Moneybag one in each level... -In Summer Forest you can learn how to swim for 500 gems from Moneybags...He is near the large pool...Press to dive... -In Autumn Plains you can learn how to climb for 500 gems from Moneybags...He is near a ladder at your left from the start...Spyro will climb automatically when he reaches a ladder... -In Winter Tundra you can learn how to head-bash for 1000 gems from Moneybags...He is in front of you at the start of the level...You can head-bash by pressing X then Triangle... /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ ¦•The power-ups... (D)¦ \~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/ There are various power-ups scattered around that will help you obtain some orbs that are hard to get. There are various types of power- ups: •Flying power-ups: these power-ups allow you to fly for a short while (a time bar indicates you how much time left you got). Just remember that while you fly, press up to go down and down to go up... •Flame power-ups: these ones make you spit fire-balls pressing O. You can also aim with triangle. Unfortunately, this power-up is also limited. •Super-charge power-ups: this is my favourite (Dim). It allows you to make a super-charge as long as you keep the charge button. NOTE: this power-up is REALLY HARD to control due to your speed so practice a bit before using it, it may save you a life... •"Jump" power-ups: they make you perform a large bounce to access some areas that are...err...un-accessible. /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ ¦•The game... ¦ \~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/ Key : You'll find a (S) or a (D) at the side of the levels...Well they stand for (S)>Samy has done it ... and (D)>Dim has done it ... This will make it more easy for you (and for us) when you'll E-mail us as we'll know who done what...Just don't forget to add it too... °¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤° 1st world °¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤° /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ ¦Summer Forest (S)¦ \~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/ Orbs : 4 As this is your second world these gems are pretty easy to obtain...(Obtained the text at < www.cheat-elite.com/page2.html > ) 1.Find Hunter near the large pond and he will reveal a series of jumps to perform... 2.Dive down a pool of water to your left where you started the level. Climb the stairs at the end to find the Orb... 3.Once you have learned to climb, go to the large orange circle room. Climb the ladder to find the Orb... 4.There is a door then some stairs in the room where Moneybags lowers a wall. At the top should be a window and a closed door to the right. Glide out of the window and move to the left into another window to find the Orb ( Note : You may need to press triangle at the last moment...) /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ ¦Glimmer (D)¦ \~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/ Well this is the first level. I recommend you practice a bit your moves if this is the first time you play the game. 1.When you get the talisman, do not exit the level but look left and you'll see an open window. Enter and you arrive at a new section. Talk to the kangaroo and he'll ask you to fly and light some gems. Enter the power-up, press X to fly and flame all the lamps. Just remember, press up to go down and down to go up. It is not that hard...When you make it, you will be rewarded an orb (Enter the power-up again to take the rest of the gems...)... 2.Still in the same section, look for a cave and you'll see another kangaroo. Talk to him and he'll ask you to fire rocks to some lizards: it's very easy: just press triangle to aim and then press O to shoot. Every time you get a lizard, the kangaroo will move to another section, so just follow him. There are six lizards to shoot. 3.In the room where Moneybags opened the bridge for you, you will find a ladder. Climb it and you will see a flying power-up. Cross it, fly and light the six lamps that are on the top of the room. NOTE: Enter the power-up again later to take some gems that cannot be accessed without flying. /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ ¦Idol Springs (S)¦ \~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/ Orbs : 2 In this level you have to kill the bad woods in order to proceed to the end... 1.So lets suppose you arrive at the end of the level, now go to the left (the path in front of the gate) and follow the path(you'll eventually need to do a X+X+triangle glide in order to make it to the last edge...)...(((Sorry to interrupt the walkthrough suddenly but I must make sure that nobody will take it besides the approved sites...If you're reading this walkthrough in a non approved site please mail us at : sadi_121@hotmail.com...Thanks again...©SaDi2000))) Now go down(in front of you)and you'll have to complete a challenge... This challenge is quite difficult as you have to pass through the power-up and then, in one lap, manage to hit all the edges...My strategy here was to go in the power up from the right to the left and do the lap in the opposite way of the clock...You'll find this Orb quite difficult but if you try to follow the path you'll probably get it easily...If not, come back later when you improve your skills... 2.For your second orb, you'll imperatively need to learn how to swim...If you paid for it then jump in the water at the start of the level and then go in the underwater tunnel...At the other end talk to the guy there and he'll give you 3 puzzles to solve... Difficulty Rating : ***¤¤ (3/5) •The first puzzle is to turn all the blocks (to your left) yellow. This is an easy puzzle if you sit and think a little...If you jump on a block, this block and the two touching him will change colour. This mean that if you jump on a yellow block and the two other blocks are white then the middle will change white and the other two yellow...Think a little and you'll get it...(NOTE : If you really don't have time to think then the solution is to jump on the down left one, then the upper right one, then on the upper left one and finally on the down right one...)NOTE : If you did a mistake just go talk to the man again and he'll ask you if you want to reset the puzzle... Difficulty Rating : ***¤¤ (3/5) •For the second puzzle, you need to go outside and left of the entrance door... "This idol he's hungry and won't be satisfied until he's swallowed 10 fish. He's got a sensitive stomach, so watch what kind of fish you feed him." Ok so in fact this means that you have to feed him either orange or blue fishes but NO red ones...If you do so he'll throw back 4 fishes including the red one...This puzzle IS NOT difficult if you watch out what fish you're giving to him... Difficulty Rating : ***¤¤ (3/5) •Well this puzzle is easily solved just by proceeding by elimination...Jump on all the stones and see the result...If you don't have time for this again, the solution would be : The down one with star in the centre, the upper one with a at the centre, the left one with a moon inside. The right one with yet another moon inside, and the last one to the left with an O inside...You can now collect the Orb... /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ ¦Colossus (D)¦ \~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/ Orbs : 3 This level is kinda funny, I like it very much... 1.For the first orb, kill enough monsters to activate the power-up, and then jump to the section above. Once there, talk to that "man" and he'll ask you to find and flame six evil spirits that are hidden inside the statues scattered all over the world. Find the statues and flame them (they are not hidden, it's easy to find them...) and the "man" will give you an orb. 2.Go to the section where you fought the yeti and then to the window. You'll see another section whit gems and an arena. You will be asked to play a hockey game with a goalie. You must score five times in 2 minutes. Just approach the goalie from one side, then change side immediately and shoot, it's very funny. 3.After the first hockey game, you'll be asked a second one. This time it's a one on one, you must score five times before he does. Just flame him, take the "ball" and score. Good luck with him. /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ ¦Hurricos (D)¦ \~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/ Orbs : 3 This is a level I really hate , I don't know why... 1. Go to the section with the power-up, having the two big doors behind you, and then go left. You will see a ledge. Jump on it and then jump again to another section on the wall. You will encounter a little man who will ask you to catch ten thieves that are stealing some electrical orbs. You just have to start placing the electrical orbs in the apposite sockets by spiting them. Eventually, an alarm will sound and the thieves will start stealing the orbs. Charge them or flame them before they get away. You will only be able to catch three or four thieves at a time, so take your time with these guys... Once you caught them all, replace all the orbs in the sockets and the little man will give you an orb as a reward. 2. Once you kill enough enemies, the power-up will activate. It's a super-charge power-up. Cross it, brake all the ventilators that are scattered around and push the buttons. This way, the large ventilators will stop. Cross the power-up again, enter the big right door and go right immediately after crossing the door. This way, you will brake a large ventilator and some stairs will appear. Go up and talk to the Electrod who will tell you to make some jumps and reach electric farm. Jump to the building on your right, go on the ventilator and then jump again on the other building. Now look to your left and you will see some steps going in and out on the wall. Wait for the right timing, and jump from one step to the other. Join the other Electrod who will give you an orb. 3.Now you will have to complete some harder jumps: From where the Electrod gave you the second orb, jump from one ventilator to another to reach a platform over the left large door. Don't forget to push triangle before you reach the ventilator or you won't make it... DAMN I don't remember what you have to do right now!! And don't ask me to play the game once more because my parents are going to KILL me!! I will try to tell you what I remember: You should arrive facing a wall with other steps going in and out. Cross them and an Electrod will ask you to push a button. Push it and you will be given the orb. Please e-mail me to tell me if I'm right... /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ ¦Sunny Beach (D)¦ \~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/ Orbs : 3 1.In order to obtain this orb, you must go through the power-up and brake all the metaliccal boxes around the world because some stupid turtles are trapped inside. There are seven of them to brake (did you notice the affection of the turtles in the boxes after you save them...??). 2.NOTICE:You will need to learn how to climb for this orb...In the last section (where you open the last door for the little turtles), you will see a big turtle standing next to a ladder. Talk to her and she'll tell you that a bad bad chef is up the ladder and wants to cook the poor poor turtles. And of course you must save them. So go up the ladder and then into the arena with a cauldron in the middle. Every time the chef rings his bell, three turtles will try to suicide diving into the cauldron(do you think they are hypnotized...???). Flame or charge them to throw them into the water. Then the chef will give you the orb. 3.This is kinda like the second orb...talk again to the chef for another "arena-turtle-combat". But this time there are more turtles and they move faster than before. Just do the same thing as before to get rid of them. The chef will give you another orb (he is really pissed off...). /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ ¦Aquaria Towers (D)¦ \~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/ Orbs : 3 When you complete the level, don't leave but look up and you will see an opening. In there you will find a new section with many gems and all the orbs of this level, so all the places named on the followings are found in that section... 1.Speak with an hippocamp who will tell you that some babies are trapped inside some towers all over the world. In those towers you will eventually find some baddies and traps. The first tower is opened by the hippocamp. Go in there (it's next to you, stupid...) and rescue the baby. Now the second tower will open, so go there and save the second baby. Don't worry about baddies and traps, because even if you are hit, you can always regenerate by eating butterflies. Every time you save a baby, the next tower will open. After completing this "easy" task, you will be given the orb 2.Talk to Hunter, he will ask you to ride a manta. You just have to follow the hippocamp and entering the bubbles he creates. It is easy, just remember to turn as quick as possible. After a short ride, Hunter will give you the first orb. 3.Talk to Hunter again, and he will propose you a second manta ride. It's like the first ride, but the hippocamp is quicker and you have less time to turn. Don't worry, after a few tries you will make it. You will then be rewarded a second orb by Hunter. /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ ¦Ocean Speedway (S)¦ \~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/ Orbs : 1 I hate the speedways...They are sooooo difficult that they will make you wanna throw the pad at the T.V ...Well I have to do them to finish the game at 100% so here we go for your first speedway, the ocean one... First aim for the rings...Then go on the track...Here Spyro will automatically do a super charge without you doing nothing but steering left and right...Of course you got to aim for the left tunnel...Now when you hit the last car and you hear a sound, double press X and you'll fly...Now continue straight forward you should be in front of the ships...Well here take them as they come to you...So the opposite way they come from...When you hit the last one (assuming you didn't lost one in that case plunge in the water 'cause you won't make it...) you should be aligned with the gates...So take them all (it's really very straightforward)and finish the first part ...Now you have all the gems... Well now that you have all the gems you can go for the orb...At the start of the level go to the left and you'll see a crowd...Go there and talk to the fish in the middle and he will give you a challenge to master... Difficulty Rating :****¤ (4/5) Yep this challenge is quite difficult...The goal here is to follow the winged thing...Easy...?NOT 'cause he always changes direction so the key here to perform a good time and pass through all rings is to follow the winged thing from some distance...Not too much though 'cause the rings will disappear...Well after 10 or 15 tries you'll hopefully manage to get it... /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ ¦Crush's Dungeon (S)¦ \~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/ No Orbs Crush is a relatively easy boss if you know how to beat him...Well he'll run from ring to ring (those circle things on the ground) who are power ups...A blue ring mean that he will do an attack which you'll have to jump in order for you not to get hurt and a red one is the fire attack...The fire attack can be dodged very easily by running from one side of the arena to the other...Well the goal here is to flame his butt when he is changing ring then run away from him and wait until some rocks fall on him...No big deal here...Really... Oh and manage to beat him WITHOUT being wounded and you'll get a skill point... °¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤ 2nd World ¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤°¤° /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ ¦Autumn Plains (S)¦ \~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/ Orbs : 2 1.The first orb is easy to obtain if you're careful...First you have to learn how to climb...Then climb the stairs behind moneybag and go to the top...Now before the stairs leading to the boss are some cracks in the wall which you can ram through. Use the whirlwind, and then the next one to reach the big tower. From here, look ahead and you will see a tall platform in the distance, outside and to the left of the outer wall of the main yard. Glide to it and get the Orb...(thanks to < www.game- elite.com/page2.html > ) 2.From the tall platform (above) , glide the outer wall and make your way to the left. At the end you should see another cracked wall. The orb is inside...(Thanks again to < www.cheat-elite.com/page2.html > ) /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ ¦Skelos Badlands (S)¦ \~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/ Orbs : 3 This level is quite difficult...Well at the start of the level go forward and climb some bones to reach Lumpy...He'll unlock a bridge for you... Difficulty Rating : **¤¤ (3/5) 1.Cross the bridge and go save the villagers... Ok so 2 dinos will pop out of the 2 eggs in front of you. Then yet two others in front of you getting in opposite direction(these you can catch them at the intersection - 2 in 1 - ).Go now Left and kill the first dino. Then the two others pop out at the same time. You now have only on remaining and he is at the start of the area so go back there and flame his ass... Difficulty Rating : ***** (5/5) 2.Man this is no peace of cake like the other one so be VERY QUICK in your movements... Ok so one will pop up just in front and coming on you, continue and climb the ledge for yet 2 other lizards. Now go left and get the three there ( one in the left, one in front of you, and then go forward and circle around the house to the right for the last one )now jump past the chasm and get the lizard there...The last one is just in front of you, use the to go faster... Difficulty Rating : ****¤ (4/5) 3.The third Orb would be the lizard-toad one...At the start of the level go forward and before you enter a giant mouth take a lava ball and use it on the toad at the top of the mouth (this is the most difficult toad to find as he is very well hidden...I've spent an entire day searching for him...Now enter the mouth and you should find an opening to the left...At the end of the path is the second toad...Go back to the main path and continue...Hope that you have 16 enemies killed and use the power-up to the right to get this toad...If you continue now the main path you'll find some stairs to your left...There take lava balls and use them on the bone bars the opposite side...When you destroy it, glide in it to take another bone...Now you've reach an open area...Go left and use the power-up to climb the lava stairs...There should be a toad floating on some vapour to your left...Glide and flame him to get this bone...Go back up and cross the bone bridge ( be careful as they sank if you stay too long ) and flame yet another toad there...Go back to the open area and where the power-up was but now continue the way and to your right you'll find a toad...You can't flame it right now but remember where he is for later...Continue and go down...Jump from bone to bone (be careful with that cat bat) and kill the toad there...Now jump on the ledge to the right and circle to the right from ledge to ledge...You'll eventually find/Kill the last toad for the Orb...Yippee you can now see his friend dancing John Travolta style... /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ ¦Crystal Glacier (S)¦ \~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/ Orbs : 2 Okay so first flame all the ice-builders here and jump on the catapult to reach the opposite side...Here again you'll have to flame all the ice-builders and they'll form some stairs (4 ice-builders). Cross the chasm but be careful with the giant mices the opposite side...Now continue all the way down but don't cross the bone bridge, instead go down to the left and talk to the Shaman tick (Maybe you'll need to cross the bridge as the power-up only unlocks with 15 enemies...) Difficulty Rating : ****¤ (4/5) 1.This challenge is quite difficult as you have to flame ALL the dracklets in one lap...The hanging ones are the most difficult so try to aim for the rope instead of the animal itself. Anyway if you miss one go back to the power-up as you'll be loosing your time... 2.For the next Orb cross the bridge and always go forward...Hopefully you'll find a big thing blocking your way...But behind of it are some ledges...Jump on them and talk to the man there to help him find his leopard (George)... Difficulty Rating : **¤¤¤ (2/5) Yep this Orb is quite easy...The leopard is not far...He is just at your right...Follow the leopard and he'll eventually stop in front of a hole...Now wait until a fish drops out of it and flame it...George while eat it and go visit another hole...He'll do this 3 times and then will follow you...Now just WALK to the Shaman Tok and he'll give you the Orb... /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ ¦Breeze Harbour (S)¦ \~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/ Orbs : 2 1.At the start of the level, kill the 2 guys and flame some wood to use the whirlwind...Then you'll arrive at some canon...Use it to Kill the metal mine to your left then, (difficult part) you have to fire up and past the ledge in front of you. The trick here is to fire once then make the canon go down a little and then fire again...It's tricky but you'll know when you got the mine as it'll explode...Then fire yet some other wood and get in the water. Get out the opposite side and kill all the enemies/Fire at the wood...Here, to your left, is the man who'll give you the Orb if you kill all the mines. Difficulty Rating : ****¤ (4/5) You've already got two so now go in the canon next to him and fire the 2 mines jumping out of the lava and then go back to where you fired the woods and get on a floating ship. You now have to land the opposite side. There , when you get out of the ship, you'll find yet another canon to your right. Do the same thing as before and kill the 3 mines popping out of the lava...Bingo you've got your Orb... 2.Now go back to your ship but this time search for a second opening to your right...There's a power-up there that will unlock with 15 enemies (maybe you'll need to go on the ship to get the missing ones... At the top there's a man with a challenge for you... Difficulty Rating : ***** (5/5) Yep another difficult challenge...The key here is to turn tight and switch tracks by firing the signs...No real strategy you just need to be lucky...Oh and the TNT barrels can be shot down and the crates jumped...Good luck... /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ ¦Zephyr (S)¦ \~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/ Orbs : 4 Man, this level will take a lot of your time...Make sure you got 1 hour left before trying to get into this level... Ok so from the start, run through the opposite side in zigzag and try to ram as many birds as you can. Then when you get on the canon hit two birds and two doors (one is in front of the other).Get in the one before you to get some gems (These was the one I forgot to take at first...) and then go through the other door...There run and avoid the barrels the animal is throwing barrels at you, then go to the left and again try to avoid this animal... At a moment you'll arrive at another canon, there fire 2 times at the door to open it and kill the bad guy inside...Then glide to it and jump pass the barrels the guy is throwing at you. Here you also have to be careful about the birds flying all around the place and throwing bombs at you...Now pass the bridge go left and then right...Again avoid the barrels here and go for the canon at the top...Here you have to fire the door and, if you have the patience, try to get the two birds here too...If not then try to get there and flame them...You can now exit the level but you'll have no Orbs...Roll on with the Orbs you saw? Ok... 1.Ok so glide down and talk to Bo-Peep (this is the name of the shepherdess in Toy Story 1&2...I don't know why they've put it here...Well who knows...) she'll ask you to find her cow lets. They are five to find for this Orb... Difficulty Rating : ***¤¤ (3/5) The first one is in your area...How to move it ? Simple, you have three choices : -Either you stand behind it and he'll move the opposite way of you... -Or you flame it and he'll go where you flame... -Or you charge it...If you charge it, he'll go far away...This is ideal if you're in a hurry... So get it in the stable and go for the next one the level above and yet another one the level just down...Ok so now go in the cave where you got the last cow let and jump in the chasm...You now have to flame this one all the way to the top of the stairs and then charge it the opposite way...You also have another on just a little more furthest...Do the same thing as above for him too... Difficulty Rating : ***¤¤ (3/5) 2.You now have to find two bonus cow let to get another orb...Well hopefully you've learned to climb so go to your right and climb the ladder... Ok so there you have to glide the opposite side to the ladder and get to the power up...From there, fire the two bird ( they'll miss you if you stand exactly at the power-up...) then use the super fire on the cow lets to make them jump...Do this twice and you practically got your orb... Difficulty Rating : ***¤¤ (3/5) 3.Ok so now go where the fifth cow let was and talk to the professor...He'll give you a magic bean.... Err seed...Now go where the fourth cow let was and use it in the weird ground there...Jump on the newly formed platform and take the seed...Now go back to the professor and use it on the weird ground close to him. Go back, flame the platform and take the second bean to the ground next to your platform...Use the seed there on the last weird ground near the professor and jump at the top of these three platforms...Take the seed and go back down. Use it on the ground closest to the other platforms and repeat this once more and then go back up and glide to your right...From there glide left( you'll need to use the X+X+Triangle glide if you want to make it...)...Bingo, you've got your orb... 4.The professor don't tell you anything but drops two seeds...If you talk to him again (triangle) he'll ask you if you want to reset your seeds...Tell no and he'll give you a : Difficulty Rating : ****¤ (4/5) This difficulty rating is no right as, if you have the right strategy, you can make it in one try. Ok so take one seed and jump on the platform. DO NOT USE IT YET...Instead continue and jump the opposite side...You can now drop your seed and go back and take the other...You now have two choices... -Mine was to jump on the weird ground platform, use the seed then jump the opposite way quickly...I managed to do this with the first try... -IMO the game wants you to go the opposite way and then target (triangle) and fire at the weird ground...The simplest way to make it, if you use the second method, is to stand next to the ledge and fire at the platform, WITHOUT TARGETING...It worked for me though... Anyway, go up and use the last seed at the last weird ground and off you go for the last orb...NOTE : Doesn't Juliet have a VERY masculine voice...???? Ok so now that you have your last orb, you can use the whirlwind in the central court (3rd cow let) to exit the level normally, via the gate... /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ ¦Scorch (S)¦ \~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/ Orbs : 2 Man, this level is easy...And fun...Enjoy your stay... Ok so jump from where you are, to the opposite side...Press the button there and go through the door...Do some clean up here and go to the right up some steps to reach hunter... Difficulty Rating : **¤¤¤ (2/5) 1.This first orb is really easy to obtain. Just try to follow hunter and knock the tree he stands under quickly... If you're lucky, you'll manage to get out of there without being wounded...NOTE: There are six monkey to knock down and NOTE 2 :If you hit a tree without hunter being under to catch the monkey, this one will jump back up so simply re- charge him to get him... Ok so now go back down, fire the button the opposite side (jump on the platform then glide twice)...There do some clean-up again and jump on the platform, then enter the cave, then glide to yet another platform to finally glide and fire the enemies the opposite side...Flame or charge the button to go yet through another door...There, you'll have to climb all the stairs to the top...At the end, you'll find the challenge... Difficulty Rating : ***** (5/5) 2.Another 5/5 challenge for you...This one is really tricky as you have to first fire the flag-keeper and then avoid being hit when you return to the base...You've pushed three switches right ? There will be the flag-keeper...The last one is really difficult so patience is the key word here...GOOD LUCK as I really don't have a strategy here... NOTE : Here I've spent some searching some missing gems...If you manage to win all two challenges, go left from the bridge (before entering the last area) and you'll find a path leading to a whirlwind...This whirlwind will unlock ONLY if you get the two orbs...And all the missing gems are there... /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ ¦Fracture Hills (S)¦ \~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/ Orbs : 3 This is the most difficult level of the game IMO... From the start, save the satyr in front of you ( flame it ) ...He'll tell you that they are 8 of them to save...Continue to the left and move in circle, this way you'll save 7 of 8 satyrs...The last one is a little further on a mountain tip...Now you should have access to the castle where you can exit the level...Ok so now, go back down and where all these earth-shapers are...They can't move but if you get too close, they'll hit you...Search for the alchemist and he'll ask you for some help... Difficulty Rating : ****¤ (4/5) 1.This one is tricky...What you have to do, is to memorise where the alchemist is going and then try to get to the earth-shaper he's gonna walk by and, when this last one turns to aim the Alchemist, charge him...It's tricky I said, as this %#&**$ Alchemist always changes direction so trying to get to the earth-shaper before him is a nightmare...Training ^_^ 2.Talk to hunter for yet another challenge... Difficulty Rating : ****¤ (4/5) You have to head-bash the earth-shapers when they're down...This is quite difficult and, what's more, I don't have no strategy for you...Just try and start from the left and , if I remember correctly, go in circle...Good Luck, you'll need it... 3.Now if you go back to where the last satyr was, and go the opposite way, you'll fall in a little path with a power-up inside...If I remember correctly, you first have to push all the earth-shapers in the lava for it to activate...This Orb is easy and difficult at the same time. It's easy 'cause you have a path on the ground showing you were to go. It's difficult 'cause you go ultra-fast and don't really have time to see the path. You'll have to open three doors before crashing in the last one...NOTE : Be careful with the lava, it hurts a lot...NOTE 2 : You can get some gems by turning left instead of following the narrow path at the end of the section, this way you'll destroy a crate in a cavern with some gems in it...Again, may luck be by your side... /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ ¦Magma Cone (S)¦ \~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/ Orbs : 3 From the start, get down, and climb the ladder...Do some clean-up here ( the big enemy has to be pushed on the red X...) and then climb yet another ladder at the other side. There you'll have to push another big enemy to the red X mark and continue that way...And yet another...Try to find a ladder to your right...Climb it...Now comes the tricky part : You have to make a blind jump to your left and try to land on a rock...Even the small one will do as you have to climb some ladder next... 1.Meet hunter in the cave for your first challenge... Difficulty Rating : ***¤¤ (3/5) What you have to do here to win, is to spot out the vapour between the cracks...Follow them and you'll most surely be were the corn will pop up...If you're lucky you'll manage to get the challenge with hunter only collecting 3 of them ( if you take his ) ... Difficulty Rating : ***** (5/5) 2.Oh man, this one is no peace of cake like the previous...Although, I have a tactic / strategy for you...Of course the hint above works but if you want to win this one, then you have to spot the vapour FIRST and then JUMP...Jumping before hunter catches and not only, jumping to win some time, is the key...Good luck... Go back up and glide to the right...Aim for the platform NOT for the path...Take the ladder, go up and use the elevator to go down...There you should find some stairs ...You have to jump from stair to stair to the left...You also have to be careful with the rocks falling from above you...At the end you'll have to switch between the two last ladders in order to avoid the rocks...Now you can exit the level...DON'T...Instead, turn over and glide to Cheda the faun for a challenge... Difficulty Rating : ***** (5/5) This challenge is difficult and don't handle a strategy...You have to train your skills and eventually you'll make it...Bingo...I found a perfect strategy for here...Have you noticed there's no limit time ?Yep that's right so just take lava balls popping out every now and then and throw it to these ugly...Now here is a Super-hint : Every lap made, you can go back and fly through the power-up and get almost-unlimited time...Superb hint no ?Ok so just take your time and get one Lava Monster at a time...Enjoy... /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ ¦Shady Oasis (S)¦ \~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/ Orbs : 2 I suggest you come here after obtaining the head-bash move...Otherwise you won't be able to finish completely this level... All throughout the level, you'll have to charge trees and feed hippos...Do this and pass the door...Go left and up some stairs... You'll have to jump some platforms to feed the hippo again...Jump some other platforms to the left and pass through another door...Walk until you reach a green ball...You'll have to throw this ball to the tree in order to get past the last door. Talk to the hippo to the right and take up the challenge... Difficulty Rating : ****¤ (4/5) 1.The first thief is just below you, run and jump across the green thing to get him...The second on is the opposite from the first one and is quite difficult to get...Try to jump left from the tall platform in order to get him...Jump on the stairs and follow the path you take to the end of the level...You'll notice a thief just before getting through the last door...This last thief will do either a 8 or a circle...Try to get an inside lane and you'll probably make it... Now go back to where the first thief was and talk to the hippo there... Difficulty Rating : ***¤¤ (3/5) 2.This is no difficult challenge so just head-bash the 8 rocks before they sank in the water...Really an easy orb... /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ ¦Metro Speedway (S)¦ \~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/ Orbs : 1 Humm this one is tricky... First go for the birds...then when you get out of the tunnel go right and kill the bird...Do a reverse and get the jumping mans here...Then go left and take the 2 birds and the 5 jumping mans there...Go back to the first jumping man and go in the tunnel...Land and do a super- charge...You should come to were the workers with the stop signs are...Get them all ( you should go in circle ) and take the last three gates to finish the gem section... The orb is very difficult to obtain...At the start of the level when you kill the third bird you should see a waterfall just to your right ...Go inside and talk to the major... Difficulty Rating : ***** (5/5) Yep really tough this one...what you have to do is wait until Hunter hits a rat ...This rat will throw something...You have to catch that something BEFORE IT GETS IN THE WATER...And there are 12 of these...Good luck...Sorry no strategy here but an advice...Follow hunter from some distance so you can react...Not too much though 'cause you'll not catch the things in time...Oh a trick to keep some distance is to press triangle and then keep hamming X until Spyro gets up again...BE careful with this trick as you can go in the sea in no time... /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ ¦Icy Speedway (S)¦ \~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/ Orbs : 1 This was the first speedway I managed to complete...When you get to the most highest tower jump and glide to the right...You may need to press triangle then tab X in order to lose some altitude and reach the platform... Ok here goes for the tactic : Aim for the 4 guys in the air and immediately after go for the snowmobiles...Now go on the water and do a circle to the right and kill the dragons and the skaters...Finally aim for the gates...You'll notice one going to the centre of the island...If you enter by the upper side then the exit is down and if you enter from the down then the exit is up and in front of you... Now go for the igloo at your left when you start...Head-bash it for the challenge... Difficulty rating : ***¤ (4/5) This is a relatively difficult talisman although you only use the direction pad...Ok so there are three main position of the rings and you have to pass through each one of them...So here are the pos...Left, Right and centre. You won't find any rings elsewhere so be careful and patient... /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ ¦Gulp's Overlook (S)¦ \~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/ No Orbs Gulp is one of the easiest bosses in the game (not to say the easyest...) Just look at his strategy and you'll soon find out why... First when Gulp run at you be courageous and run ( ) AT HIM yes that's right run at him and he will ALWAYS MISS YOU if you don't stop at midroad...Ok this was a quick tip but useful nonetheless as I managed to beat him without being wounded and as you know this gives a skill point... How do I avoid the... -Rockets : Simply run around the arena and it will crash on the wall or on the floor... -Bombs : This will cause a green thing to come up to you so just jump past it... -Silver-Barrels : These are your WORST ENEMIES as he'll make a major fire-fart ...Very dangerous and very tricky to avoid as you have to be lucky and hopefully they'll pass by...Anyway destroy any silver-barrels you see ASAP (as soon as possible)... -Oh and the electrical bullets he throws can be avoided by running left then right then left...etc... Now to hit him just either : -Throw a rocket at him :This is the most easy to do just don't bother aiming with the triangle button just stand in front of him and press O... -Throw him a bomb : This is more tricky as you have to flame (O) it just when it is aligned with him... -Throw him some silver-Barrels : This is the most tricky to do as you
have to ram () the barrel at him...
Well that's about all the strategy for this boss but DON'T FORGET to
aim (triangle) and fire (O) a rocket at Ripto...You can do this the
first time you have the rockets as not only this awards you a skill
point but also gives you an extra life...Anyway don't mind if you lose a
life if you're killed as you won't have to do this again 'cause the game
will have it in memory so just concentrate on Gulp...

¦Winter Tundra (S)¦
\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/
Orbs : 3
In winter tundra the orbs are very easy to find...
1.The first one can be obtained right after learning the head-bash
move...Search for the bigger/larger rock in the area and head-bash
it...Bingo...
2.The second one is to your left when you use the whirlwind in the
courtyard of the castle...You can also glide from the window of the
castle if you're courageous but it may be a little more tricky...
3.The third orb is, again, quite easy to obtain...Use the whirlwind
and this time go to the right, you should see a waterfall...Fall in the
water and swim underwater...You should find the orb just before another
waterfall...You can also see the orb from the canyon speedway(that's how
I figured out were it was...Again if you're courageous, you can jump
from the window, pass through the opening between the rocks and the
castle and fall in the water...Well it is just a challenge...
/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\
¦Mystic Marsh (S)¦
\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/
Orbs : 3
Can you imagine that I forgot to do this level...?Well one level was
missing for completing the game at 100% but I was really dumb as I was
searching everywhere but the most obvious...The main area of winter
tundra...Well roll on with the Orbs...
1.The first Orb will be given to you if you find the sleeping
worker...There is no point in telling you that the worker is at the end
of the level...
2.Your second task would be to catch the four thieves so go talk to
the man near a jeep (it's near the worker and you'll have to unlock the
power-up to go up there...)...
Difficulty rating : ****¤ (4/5)
This Orb is kind of tricky to obtain...Well first get down to where
the power-up was (not down down though...) then jump on the trees in
front of you and chase the thieve there...Don't forget to jump X But
NEVER let go the other way you'll lose him...
The second thief is down on the ground and shouldn't be that
difficult to obtain but remember no to let go the and try to flame him
(O)...
The third thief is where the end of the level is (worker) and you can
get without too much trouble just by gliding over the water and flaming
him...
The last thief is the most difficult (if you don't have a strategy)So
go for him but don't follow him and jump on the power up directly from
the elevated path were you are...Hopefully you'll come there just with
him and once up you can flame him with ease...^_^
3.This third Orb is the most easy although the difficulty rating says
something else...So use the whirlwind(in the tree) but don't go on the
other tree and aim the opposite way ...In a tree should be the
professor...
Difficulty rating : ****¤ (4/5)
Talk to him and take the egg he throws you...Now go where the end of
the level is and jump on the box near a tree...There aim (triangle) and
throw the egg in tree...The bird there will throw a grain to you so get
it and go near the river to your right...Use it on the pot and the plant
will give you a duck...The river in the northern part of the level have
ducks so simply throw it near them...Now you have an oignon...Go to
where the last thief was and use it in the black thing there...Now you
have a coin ...Go see the fountain at the start of the level to make a
wish (throw the coin inside)...And bingo, here is your pen for the
professor...
/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\
¦Cloud Temples (S)¦
\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/
Orbs : 3
Ok, so from the start, dodge the star the magician throws to you and
flame him...Pass the -before- floating bridges. There be careful, all
the statues will be some alive. Flame is my advice...Go and pass another
bridge to the left and use the whirlwind there...Glide pass the two
large "holes" and kill yet another magician...Now pass the newly opened
door and go left...Kill the magician there...
1.Now I recomand you go left and try to do the Agent Zero challenge.
Difficulty Rating : ****¤ (4/5)
The game gives you a MAJOR hint...Hide behind the tree...In fact you
have to stay behind Agent Zero, not touch him and hide behind every tree
you'll find...Don't forget : Don't show besides or in front of him and
don't touch him...
NOTE : After you climb some stairs he'll stop...Be careful not to
touch him then...After that, he'll jump to a tree to the right...Don't
go there, instead, go to the tree on the left and hide behind it. He'll
then come there so you may circle around so he don't sees you...
2.Now go back and enter the castle you didn't entered yet. Kill the
magician to the left and jump the other side...Flame the three enemies
there and go left...You'll have to flame your last magician and exit the
game with your second orb...Of course, if you want the last orb, go back
to the last castle.
3.If you go right instead of left, you'll find a guy there with an
ice power-up next to him.
Difficulty Rating : ***** (5/5)
I hate those 5/5 challenges, they are soooo difficult and almost
impossible to accomplish except if lady luck is by your side...This was
my case and, with that, managed to get all of them with the first
try...I'll explain : First enter the power-up and freeze the trolls in
the temple. Climb on him to go up.
SECTION 2 : In this section aim for the guy jumping at the same place
to the left...You've gotta flame it when he's in air and you'll have to
glide + Triangle to make it there...Also you have to freeze the troll
there and charge the bell...The last troll will go down and
jump...Freeze this last one and wait for the other to be in front of
him...Now jump on these two and freeze the last one...Charge the bell...
SECTION 3 : Your task is not over yet, and here comes my lucky
part...Entering the power-up and using the whirlwind, I managed to flame
the troll in front of me and jump on him in the same time...The game
although wants you to flame this jumping troll and then the running on
in order to go up and charge the bell...If I were you, I would use the
whirlwind over and over until I make it...
NOTE : I received several E-mails asking how to get the strong boss
in this level...It's in this last section, you have to freeze the
running troll just when he passes the platform to the left...Now manage
to freeze and freeze it all over again until you run out of freeze-
balls...Now quickly jump on him and flame the rocket there...Normally
you can't go up this platform so just flame and you got the missing
gems...
/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\
¦Robotica Farms (S)¦
\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/
Orbs : 3
This is the most annoying level as it is really perturbing...Every
part of this level seem the same, and trying to get all the Orbs, is a
real NIGHTMARE...Well, I have to do it anyway so I can post the update
tomorrow...Lets cope with that...
All this level is based on some little yellow balls you have to
collect in order to get all these Orbs...So if you see one, then an
enemy is near...
From the start, kill the flying enemy and proceed jumping over the
barrels...Normally, this shouldn't be too difficult...Charge or Flame
the enemy that is pushing the barrels, you choose...
There is a sheap on your left here, but if you're not hurt, don't
flame it as they are some kind of rare in this level (you may see a
platform on your right... Remember its position as it will transform
into a valuable whirlwind later...)...Instead, proceed forward and jump
over some other barrels... Here too you'll have to do something about
the enemy...
You may encounter some other kind of enemies on the ground... These
enemies MUST be head-bashed twice in order to kill them... Proceed
always forward and use the metal swing thing to get on the platform...Do
this twice, and pass the windmill... Maybe you're now wounded so go at
the start of the level to get the sheap you left...
Talk to the man in front of you for the first Orb...
Difficulty Rating : ***¤ (4/5)
1.This first Orb is a piece of cake. Don't worry if the difficulty
rating says 4/5, it should 2 or 3 /5 if you know how to do it... You
have to chase them around in circle ( clockwise ) and jump from the
little protuberances out of the ground... You'll need to glide just
behind them and flame them... If you don't do this quick enough and
don't get all of them in one or two laps, then they'll come back and
you'll have to flame all of them all over again... It's really not that
difficult and, if you're lucky enough, you can get the three flyes from
the start and immediately after get the last on a little further...
Training is, here again, the key...
2.To your right, you may see another guy throwing barrels... In fact,
you can charge the barrels he's throwing to you on him and kill him
easily... Anyway, follow the path this way to the end (pass one metal
swing) , and get on the metal swing there... Go the other side of the
swing and turn over. Now you can see a windmill... Your goal is to jump
and glide in order to get in the windmill (not so easy eh ?)... From
there, jump on a platform to your right and kill the enemy (easy if you
pass from the left...In fact, this enemy looks around but don't see
you...Humm, Insomniac must have worked the AI of the
enemies...)...Continue the path (get some sheaps if you have to) and up
some stairs...Here you'll get an Orb for completing the level
(yippee)...BUT if you want the LAST Orb, read bellow...
3.Now, all the techniques you've learned during your journey through
the world of Avalar will come handy... In fact, you have to charge (run)
and glide to the platform on your left and talk to the man there...You
may also see a whirlwind to the right (Remember ?)...Of course you could
use it to go up there, but it ain't the same satisfaction...
Difficulty Rating : ****¤
This challenge should have a 5/5 rating... Yep, this is no piece of
cake like the other and, what's more, I don't have a strategy to clean
the tractor path...Well it seems that you have to practice (again) and
you may make it...
NOTE : You also follow the path without the supercharge only by
gliding and, by this way, collect the missing gems more easily...
NOTE 2 : If I remember right, you also have a crate to supercharge
somewhere... Or maybe not... I really can't tell...E-mail me if you
remember something...
/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\
¦Metropolis (S)¦
\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/
Orbs : 4
Ok so from the start, go forward.( NOTE : This pig can be killed by
gliding and firing or just charge the opposite way he fires...)
Head-bash the lift to go down...Your second kind of pigs, can be
killed by firing...This works fine when there're a bunch of them as on
flame will make all of them explode...
Make your way through some kind of tunnel and to your left, climb
some stairs...Glide the stairs to your right and, at the top, should be
your challenge...
Difficulty Rating : ****¤ (4/5)
1.This first Orb is quite easy to obtain...The first bomb that comes
to you, flame it and you got 1 point...You now have to do this 4 more
times and OX is off...
Ok so now go back down and onto the elevator...Head-bash to go down
again...Use yet another elevator to go UP.
2.You're now at the main area, where you'll get all three orbs
remaining...Kill the pigs and go left...Kill yet another pig .BE
CAREFULL, as behind him is another one...Go left again and search for
the elevator...At the top you'll get an orb for just getting at the end
of the level...Then a challenge will be given to you...
Difficulty Rating : ****¤ (4/5)
3.This second challenge is easy as the one in magma cone...You
remember right...The hint here is to get through the power-up each lap
made as there's no time limit...Another advice here, would be not to
chase the UFO from behind but instead from the side or better from the
front...
Difficulty Rating : ***** (5/5)
4.This second way is exactly as the previous one so use the same
tactic and the 5/5 rating should drop down to 3/5 rating...
/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\
¦Canyon Speedway (S)¦
\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/
Orbs : 1
This Speedway although it is the last one, is the most easy speedway
of the game...Follow my strategy and, not only will you take all the
gems but you'll also take the skill point...Yep, that's right the first
time I've played this speedway, I've completed all the tasks but also
exploded the speedway record as I've finished it with 1:05.10 and the
limit is 1:10...
First go for the Rams...When you arrive at the point with some bikes
jumping, ignore them and go for the Rams...When you have all the Rams,
aim for the rings...These rings will bring you automatically to the
road. Here land and maintain the pressed. You'll find out that not
only you go more quickly but you also ram the bikes more easily...Now,
after the bikes, you'll arrive in a wide area with some vultures flying
in circle. Flame them as quick as possible and bingo...
1.To get to the Orb, simply follow the steps above. But when you
arrive at the vultures go left and try to find hunter in an opening.
Difficulty Rating : N/A (Hunter doesn't provide a difficulty rating
here. Maybe this is because it's so difficult that the game can't handle
a 6/5...Well who knows...)
Yep this is difficult orb to get...One of the most difficult
challenge in the game too...Well practice, training, try to remember the
positions of the balloons and 'careful with the inversed controls...Good
luck...
/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\
¦Ripto's arena (S)¦
\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/
No Orbs
Ripto is EASY ...Don't be impressed with his magic stick 'cause he
won't make too much problems...
The goal here is to get three Orbs before he do...Be careful because
if you get hurt you lose one Orb...You'll also see some sheaps rolling
around...Don't forget to flame them down they'll reveal very useful when
you run out of energy...
Ok so when you have three orbs you have an UNLIMITED power-up so keep
hamming O and run after Ripto...Do this until the time's up...Hopefully
you'll manage to hit him 2 times (three if you're lucky)...With this
technique it should be easy to beat him...
Now Ripto call's up a mechanic Gulp...Don't be afraid 'cause it's
exactly the same thing as before so use the same tactic...
Finally he'll go in the air with a bird...Here is the most
easy/enjoying part as you have unlimited super-fire power-up so go for
him...Don't stay behind him and keep hamming the O button and then turn
over so you don't get hit...
Now you have beaten the game so enjoy the almost thirty minutes of
very nice cinematic sequence...(Or was it Final Fantasy VIII...)...

No Orbs
No Orbs to collect here, but tokens... All the following were taken
from IGN at : http://guides.ign.com
Coaster:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Showman Gnigel bosses over the Dragon Shores roller coaster. Earn
tokens here by surviving the course and popping all balloons.
1st Ride : Pop all the balloons (25) to win a token. Jump over
creatures on the tracks and other coasters carts.
2nd Ride : Pop all the balloons (50) to win a token. There are more
creatures and the track splits (like in Breeze Harbour level).
3rd Ride : Pop all the balloons (50) to win a token. This time, your
sled is equipped with a cannon to get the red zeppelins. These are
tricky. Some need to be shot when you round corners, others you have to
jump for. Practice makes perfect.
Shooting Gallery :
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Visit Showman Gnelson for another contest of skill.
1st Round : Shoot 10 ducks in the time allowed to win a token.
2nd Round : Spyro 2's version of Gopher Whack. Shock Divers pop up in
random places. Nail 8 of them in the time allowed to collect your token.
3rd Round : Peg off 10 lizards to gain a token. These guys are mobile
and don't stick around long, so Spyro's gotta be on his toes.
Tunnel of Love :
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Visit Showman Norm at the Tunnel of Love. He gives you a token just
for riding. This one is mainly just a catalogue of characters you've
encountered in various amorous combinations. Ooh la la!
Dunking booth :
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Showman Gnick gives you the opportunity to dunk some of the game's
biggest, worst baddies. Slurp up the baseball and spit them at the
target to start the fun. You can sink three creatures for three tokens
here.
Dragon Shores Theatre :
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Conquering all these events unlocks the Theatre, in which you can
watch all the cut-scenes from the game. Check out all the classics. From
"I'm a Faun, you Dork!" to "Gulp, Lunch Time!" this cinema's got 'em
all.

\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/
In the game, you'll have to accomplish various tasks in order to get
some Skill Points...One or more Skill Point will unlock the Epilogue
section of the game in the guidebook and if you get ALL 16 Skill points,
you'll be able to see the monster created but not putted in the game
(they have some angel wings...)...Oh, I would recomend you obtain the
unlimited super-fireball power-up by finishing the game at 100%...This
power-up will prove inreplacable with those bosses as well as in some
levels...Ok so here are the locations and some notes as how to get
them...
1 : In Colossus, get a perfect score.(5-0) while playing hockey 1 on 1.
This is the most tough S.P to obtain but still if you take a point, you
can reset the game by talking to the man on the land...
2 : In Idol Springs, glide and land on the big idol next to the hula
girl...This one is tough too...We're talking of the area where you took
your first orb in this level...With the super charge power up...Well
you'll imperatively need to do a X+X+Triangle glide to make it...
3 : In Fracture Hills, charge through the supercharge lap three times
without stopping. Here, I would recommend having the unlimited super-
fireball...You can, that way, easily get rid of those giants (like with
the hunter and the alchemist...^_^ )and open the wooden doors...
4 : In Skelos Badlands, destroy all the Cacti...This one is easy...NOTE
: You don't have to go to the village and save the villagers as there
are no Cacti there...
5 : In Skelos Badlands, kill all the flying CatBats...This one means
that you have to kill ALL the enemies in the level...
6 : In Aquaria Towers, all seaweed...You have to search all the aquaria
for all the seaweed...Don't bother going through the orbs challenges as
you won't get any by this mean...
7 : In Hurricos, destroy all the windmills...
8 : In Scorch, knock coconuts out of all trees...You'll have to replay
the hunter challenge and knock 2 or 3 trees there too...
9 : Defeat Crush without being wounded...This one should be easy if you
have the unlimited super-fireball...
10 : Defeat Gulp without being wounded...Again, the power-up is really
helpful here...
11 : Defeat Ripto without being wounded...Once again you can do this
relatively easily with the power-up...From the start run to him
firing...Do the same thing with the metal Gulp...
12 : While fighting Gulp, shoot a rocket at Ripto...Do this as you
fight club for the first time, as if you die the game will keep it in
his memory...
Look in the walkthrough for some tips on the Speedways...
13 : Beat Ocean Speedway in under 1:10 !
14 : Beat Canyon Speedway in under 1:10 !
15 : Beat Metro Speedway in under 1:15 !
16 : Beat Icy Speedway in under 1:15 !

¦•Miscellaneous Tips... (S)¦
\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/
- The most useful tip : If you press L1, L2, R1, R2 at the same time
during the game, then Spike the will point on the closest gem on this
level...This is particularly interesting when you're missing a gem to
finish the level at 400/400...
-Don't worry if you give all of your Gems (well ok not all but a
major part) to Moneybag as he'll give you all the Gems he's taken from
you when you finish the game...
-You may not now that, but for each 10 butterflies Spike eats, Spyro
earns a bonus live...This means that you have to hit all of the little
animals running around each level even if you're in a good
health...Don't mind if you change level meanwhile as they all count for
one...This mean that if you eat 9 butterflies in one level, and then eat
1 in another, you'll take the life nonetheless...Enjoy...(Personally I'm
at 54 lives and I keep eating)...
-You get to "Dragon Shores" after defeating Ripto. All 10,000 gems
and 64 orbs are required to enter the door at that location. A permanent
Super Fireball power-up is inside...
-After completing the game and receiving 100%, pick up the Permanent
Fireball ability, finish "Dragon Shores" and exit the game. Then,
without turning off the PlayStation, overwrite the character that was
just used to complete the game. Restart the game and it should allow you
to keep the Fireball ability from the very beggining.
NOTE : DON'T mail me saying it didn't worked...Please don't do
that...In fact I've not tried it myself and think it's quite unlike to
work...What you should do, to be sure not to loose your 100% data is
either save on another memory card, or save on another block in the
Spyro 2 block...If you have any info on how it works ( or not ) ...
