angryponcho plays Spyro the Dragon - Part 2 of 21

We start collecting everything in the worlds of the first Spyro game, bit by bit!

Stone Hill

I remember this world from the demo. This stage is pretty fun.

The sheep, as mentioned in the Ripto's Rage guide, refill your health.

The rams can be destroyed with either the flame or the charge attack. The shepherds can be charged, but it's better to flame them as they can hit you with their staves.

Close to the exit is a beach area that you wouldn't usually be able to notice unless you looked around on the wall behind it. If you enter the cave there, you'll find the key. This will come into use in the well at the beginning of the level. The key will unlock the chest and you'll be able to get all the treasure that's inside.

At the edge of the level is some guy in blue running around. If you get near him, he'll change direction. Run into him with the charge attack and you'll get the first of several Dragon Eggs. Apparently, these guys are thieves of some sort.

Artisan Homeworld

When you return back, you'll find out that the enemies have respawned. When you beat them up, you'll find white orbs in the place of gems. When you get one, it will appear near the spinning golden Spyro head where your lives are. When you collect enough of these, you'll get an extra life. Nice.

Town Square

The fodder here are chickens.

The bulls can either be charged or rammed. If you ram them, you'll have to flame them while they're stuck to the ground to get rid of them. You're better off using just the flame in the first place. The matador guys are also easy to defeat.

The little gold things that look like boxes with the blue gem-like tops are called Jump Chests. Ram or flame them, then jump over them and get the gem that pops out. The chest will then disappear. Since they're a bit confusing (unintentionally, of course), they never appeared in any of the sequels. Perhaps that's for the better.

It should be noted that red gems are worth 1, green are 2, blue are 5, and gold are 10.


The white chests with the metal spinning thing on top are spinner chests. Flame them three times to destroy them and get the contents.
