Reach the Enchanted Forest[edit]

Turn right here for the first spirit gem.

The level begins with the dragons flying through a cave. There is nothing in here and it is impossible to land so keep flying through it until it reaches the end through a waterfall. Immediately turn right and hug the edge of the level until it allows you to move further right to find a spirit gem on a ledge in the waterfall. Carry on to the bottom of the falls for another spirit gem and a save point, but it is inactive until all the grublins have been killed. There is another blue spirit gem next to it. From here fly across the river and kill some more grublins. Carry on down this path and flame or poison the vines to collect a fourth crystal then turn back and fly back across the river. Fight both waves of enemies, the first is the small flying enemies but the second set have shields that make them harder to kill. Spyros electric breath can be used to shatter them and leave them unprotected. When they are all dead a spirit gem will raise from the floor. Now push over the log to create a bridge but do not cross it yet.

Cynder flying above the first magic upgrade. The cave in the top left holds the second and leads to the elite enemy.

Turn around and go up the path to find an armour chest behind the vines. This contains Spyro's offensive tail piece which raises attack speed whilst worn. Go back and go along the other path, still not across the log to find a magic upgrade crystal and some gems. Follow it around to some rocks that look like stairs and have a spirit gem at the foot of them. Climb the rocks to find a second magic upgrade crystal. From this ledge you should be able to see a wind tunnel behind the trees. Fly to this and it will carry you off to the elite enemy, a stronger version of the small red flying grublins that populate this level. Its weakness is always the earth breath, but unless it has been upgraded to at least level two to allow Spyro the use the secondary Earth Missile ability it is not possible to exploit this. There are plenty of health and mana gems around if either is running low. After it is defeated, go behind it and open the amour chest to obtain Cynder’s defensive bracers, which constantly regenerate Cynder’s health whilst equipped.


Jump back down and return to log and walk across it now. Climb the climbing zones to reach the top, but make sure to collect the health upgrade crystal on the left. On the top level collect the seventh and final spirit crystal before approaching Hunter and finishing the level.
