Tips

  • Flame cacti for a visual effect; they are not required for progression.
  • When fighting Bird Bullies guarded by Birds on posts, prioritize flaming the flying Bird before it attacks.
  • Be cautious when fighting Blaster Gnorcs near cliff edges to avoid falling off.
  • Flame explosive chests and immediately back away to avoid damage from the explosion.
  • Pink gems are rare and worth 25 gems each.
  • Dry Canyon rewards skilled gliders; look for opportunities to use gliding.
  • Dragon Eggs: 4 (Conan, Ivor, Boris, Maximos)
  • Gems: Various (Green, Red, Purple, Golden, Pink)
  • Extra Lives: 2
