Welcome to your worst nightmare!! THIS IS THE HARDEST LEVEL OF THE GAME. There are so many ramps and baddies and places to fall-off, that it's almost impossible to survive this level with just one life. And that's just to get all the dragons, let alone the little thief and all the gems. Be prepared to be here for awhile. This detail page is quite extensive because this level is sooo hard.

This all starts out innocent enough The large orange cannibals can be flamed. The little guys that throw magic leaves at you, can be flamed as well if you're quick. Work your way up the stairs and straight through to the balcony. On the way, you'll also notice a walkway to the left from one of the window ledges. We'll get that later. Of course, we hear and see our little friend, the thief, off in the distance, teasing you. Glide over to the stone ledge in the tree. Take care of business inside and free the 1st dragon up top.

Time to get your super charge legs. Down the first ramp, super charge jump to the tree straight ahead [photo below] HOLD THE SUPER CHARGE FOR THE JEWEL CHEST ON THE LEDGE. Go into the tree, flame all the cannibals then super charge again down the next ramp [left photo]. This will take you to the island platform with the building and the RETURN HOME vortex. You can go home from here, if you're chicken, but there's lots more to get. Like getting on the roof top of this building and pegging that annoying little thief. So... Here's how you get up top:
|
 |
From the RETURN HOME island, take the whirlwind back to the last tree. Go up the ramp the wrong way, back through the tree to the entrance. Look left, to the corkscrew ramp going left and up [on the right in this photo]. Glide to that ramp and half way up will be a whirlwind that takes you back to the level entrance. Backtrack to the 1st dragon. Now using the super charge ramp again, this time go to the corkscrew ramp on the right [see photo]. You have to stay in super charge. KEEP HOLDING DOWN THE SQUARE BUTTON ALL THE WAY THROUGH.
|
 |
At the top of the ramp, jump again while in super charge to the next ramp [2 photos above]. Super charge down that second ramp and you are now in DOUBLE TURBO SUPER CHARGE and can easily glide to the rooftop. *taa daa* (rather difficult to explain but the photo here proves it!). Clean-out the top area, get revenge on the thief and then backtrack all the way to the level entrance. This time, go left through the window ledge. Work your way up the stairs, grab the key, past the pillar column terrace, over to the 2nd dragon on the island with the huts.

 |
To get to the 3rd dragon way off on that island to the left, requires more supercharging ultimately taking off from this hidden ramp [see photo]. Super charge down the ramp, GO TO THE ISLAND WITH THE PILLARS. Super charge run and jump to the ramp on the right. NOW TURBO SUPER CHARGE DOWN THE 2ND RAMP, hang a hard right and super charge UP THE WRONG WAY on the next ramp (by the 1st dragon), then over to the lower ramp which leads to the point where Spyro is in the photo. Super jump and at the very top, TAP THE "X" KEY TO GLIDE to the island.

Here's proof that we made it ! [left photo] Clean up all the gems, take out the 2nd thief, and return to the area by the 2nd dragon. Now clean up the rest of the level. From the 2nd dragon, supercharge to the right ramp, supercharge down and fly to the island on the left. Bash the chest then fly to the far island. Now get the rest of the gems, including the chest by the 1st dragon, that you now have the key for, and glide over to the far building. RETURN HOME (finally).

There are 3 dragons to free in this level. Their wisdom is as follows:
ISAAK = Talks about supercharge ramps and how you can fly really far.
LYLE = Explains that you don't have to stop at just one supercharge.
JED = Praises Spyro for the magnificent flying he has done to free him.
