Portal and figures
Place a compatible figure on the Portal of Power. Spyro belongs to the Magic element. A colored elemental gate needs the matching element. If you lack the figure, follow the main route first and mark the gate for a return visit.
Walkthrough
| Area or target | Route |
|---|---|
| 1–4: Shattered Island → Stormy Stronghold | In Shattered Island play the village rescue route, then follow Flynn through Perilous Pastures and Sky Schooner Docks. Stormy Stronghold is the first longer objective chapter. Return to the hub after each chapter if the next objective is not shown yet. |
| 5–9: Oilspill Island → Stonetown | Progress through Oilspill Island and Dark Water Cove to Leviathan Lagoon. Crystal Eye Castle and Stonetown cover the next Core of Light objectives. Check side paths with matching elements before using the chapter exit. |
| 10–14: Treetop Terrace → Battlefield | Cross Treetop Terrace and Falling Forest. Work through the switch and combat sections in Troll Warehouse, Goo Factory and Battlefield one at a time, and rotate damaged figures before later arenas. |
| 15–19: Crawling Catacombs → Lava Lakes Railway | Crawling Catacombs, Cadaverous Crypt and Creepy Citadel form the spooky stretch. Then head through Molekin Mine to Lava Lakes Railway. Wait for the next safe standing point around moving hazards. |
| 20–22: Quicksilver Vault → Lair of Kaos | Clear Quicksilver Vault and Arkeyan Armory. In the Kaos fight, defeat summoned enemies and change position between attack waves. Have several available figures before the finale. |
