angryponcho plays Spyro 3: Year of the Dragon - Part 16 of 41


Well, at least the second skateboard area is much easier.

Enchanted Towers


The fodder here are sheep.

Anyway, you have to destroy a statue of the Sorceress and get rid of all the Rhynocs that are forcing the people here to build one.

The flying blue creatures have to be hit with the rocks that come out of the lava. No exceptions. If you walk towards one and try to flame it, it will just back away as quickly as you're coming towards it.

You'll also be dealing with Rhynocs riding on jackhammers as well as Rhynocs with mallets, and they're pretty quick. Be careful and be ready to flame the guys with the mallets and ram the jackhammer guys as soon as you see them.

There are three rockets near the statue. These will be used to destroy it.

Challenge Portals


Enchanted Towers


Once you destroy the Sorceress statue, you'll be able to find an opening below it that takes you to a Challenge Portal. This is the second Skateboard course of the game. This is basically Hunter giving you the tutorial for the skateboard levels. For the last lesson, you'll have to score 500 points on the giant ski ramp, which is really easy. This is the first of two Dragon Eggs here.

For the second Dragon Egg, you'll take on Hunter in a two-minutes-long freestyle competition. You simply have to score more points than Hunter before the time is over. If you can land some complex tricks early on, you should be able to pull this off quite easily. Really interesting strategy from NCS here: wait until the one-minute mark to start doing anything fancy, and Hunter's AI won't magically ramp up and try to keep up with your points total.

Skateboard Controls


X - Jump off a ramp.

Triangle - After jumping off a ramp, hold it down and press different directions on the Control Pad to do tricks. Do a spin off a blue half-pipe ramp for some 360's, 720's and more.


Skill Points


Enchanted Towers


You'll have to get 10,000 points on the skateboard course to get the Skill Point here.
