Frequently Asked Questions

What happens when I collect all gems in a world?
Completing gem collections unlocks bonus content and contributes to 100% completion, but isn't required to finish the main story.

Can Spyro swim or fly freely?
Spyro can't swim – touching water causes instant failure. Flight is limited to specific glide challenges; full free-flight isn't available in this installment.

How do I defeat enemies with metal armor?
Use your charge attack (X key) to ram through armored foes. Flame attacks won't work on them!
