Walkthrough
| Area or target | Route |
|---|---|
| Lab and Butler | Lure the robot to the electric machine at the south of the room. After the Peephole malfunctions, the Professor asks for the land hearts. Ripto steals the device and sends you to Dragon Shores. |
| Dragon Shores | Speak to Elder Terry northeast of the pineapple on the map to start his toy quest. Moneybags sells a Spyro action figure for 300 gems. Elder Hedgewick gives the separate toddler hunt. |
| Fairy Library | Flame the beetles in the foyer and press A to hop off above each target platform. Light the boiler, then learn ice breath from Doodles. Use it to put out the burning books in the main hall. |
| Return trips for hearts | Return to Elder Terry when the toys are complete. In Cheetah Spot Spa, check above Moneybags’ vault for phoenix tracks and claim the heart from Cheetah. Moneybags’ Mansion requires all area gems and charges 3,500 gems. |
| Chateau Ripto | Return through Rhynocs n’ Clocks and past the former Rhynopede arena. Use the matching super breath at each statue: red fire, green lightning, blue ice. Lure Ripto’s countershot into the statue you just activated. |
Collectibles and optional routes
| Area or target | Route |
|---|---|
| Colored chests | Collect two halves of the same color. Flammable Ripto banners and gems dropped by first-time Rhynoc kills are easy to overlook. |
| Moneybags’ Vault | Find it north of the second beach in Dragon Shores. Press both red buttons before the timer expires. |
