First thing you'll notice about this level is that it's snowing. This is another new environmental detail that has no effect on the game, but adds flavor. Widgie the Icebuilder and his buddies want to go to the hockey game in Colossus Valley but need to get tickets from Shaman Tuk, so Spyro's job is to free Tuk.

The crystal magician enemies throw snowballs that turn the Icebuilders into ice-cubes and damage Sypro's health. You can thaw any Icebuilder by flaming them but they will just return to ice as soon as a nearby magician throws a snowball at them. FIRST FLAME THE CRYSTAL MAGICIAN in the area, THEN THAW THE ICEBUILDERS nearby. You'll notice that the Icebuilders will do special tasks for you that let you get further into the level. In the first area, they will stab their spears into the rock, and form a human step ladder. Flame all the TNT bottles.

Once you pay Moneybags (yet again) to cross the bridge to the castle, off to the right, the Icebuilders roll a giant boulder down an ice ramp to free Shaman Tuk (who sold the hockey tickets to give you the talisman). Behind one of the far crystal pillars near the castle entrance, is a narrow ledge down one side that leads to a bone bridge to another area where Tok has the 1st orb challenge. All you have to do is find & return his snow leopard George, who likes to stare into those little ponds with the anticipation of eating fish that you catch for him (hint).

The 2nd orb challenge is down below where there are more gems as well. Shaman Tik explains the draclets (funny looking 3-eyed furballs) and how they multiply. Your job is to flame 18 of them using the timer superfly power-up.
This takes a couple of circuits but you can keep going, using the powerup several times, until the counter eventually comes down to 0.
