In this entry, we face our first boss, explore our second homeworld, and take on another level.
Toasty
All right! We've cleared all the levels, so let's go to the dragon's head in the Artisans Homeworld. This will take us to our first boss, Toasty.
To fight him, though, you'll have to get to him.
The dogs take two hits to kill. Flaming them while they're awake doesn't even faze the dogs the first time around, either. Your best bet is to flame them, then move away.
To beat Toasty, just get rid of the dogs, then flame him. On the second hit (or if you stand there and look at him with the first-person view), you'll find out that Toasty is just a cloaked sheep on stilts. He's defenseless after the second hit. Just watch out for those dogs.
Artisans Homeworld
Well, we're done with all the levels, so let's find Marco the Balloonist. Since we've rescued more than 10 Dragons, we'll be able to fly to the next world.
We're not done with this world yet, though. We'll be coming back a little later. For now...to the Peacekeepers!
Peacekeepers Homeworld
Oh, lord. The guards are just weird. The ones in the blue hats will take you on with their spears, but the ones with the red hats run into tents. Flame the tents to uncover them. If you stand still near the ones that were in the tents, they moon you. Insomniac had a lot of fun making this game.
The fodder here are jackrabbits, in case you have a hard time trying to identify what they are.
Believe it or not, you can move into the cannons to rotate them. Use these to break the metal chests that are completely impervious to both your ram and flame. Aim the cannon by moving to the side to get the camera behind the cannon, then walk into it to aim. When you're ready to fire, flame the back of it to light the fuse and send a cannonball in that direction.
The key here is near the thief, and the key chest is in an isolated cavern near that big blue lake. Now you have a bunch more treasure as well as your third dragon egg.
Dry Canyon
More jackrabbits for fodder. Yay.
You can flame the cacti, but it doesn't do anything except turn them charcoal black.
You also have more guys with shields, which isn't surprising. Just ram them again. Just watch out for their muskets. If you ram the musket balls, though, they won't harm you at all, which is actually quite weird. It won't work with other enemies with guns that you'll see in the game, though.
You'll be able to find the fourth dragon egg near the beginning.
The vultures will try to fly into you, while the big dudes here will try to use a vulture as a club. Whatever. Just flame both of them.
The key is near one of the dragons, and you'll have to glide around the level to find it. Fun fact: the dragon near the key is Maximos, and if you can't tell, he is definitely voiced by the same guy who would voice Hunter the Cheetah in the later games. The key chest is on a platform isolated from the rest of the level.
There are also some isolated platforms that require some height to glide to, especially one with the key chest.
Do not charge the crate of explosives. Instead, flame them. When they explode, you'll get a few gems for your efforts.
