Navigate the challenging Part 43 of Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! This guide covers collecting gems, defeating enemies, and completing the final flight level, Icy Flight, and the boss fight against Jacques.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the start, head right through an arch and down a hole, returning to the supercharge slope room. Take the steps guarded by the first metal door and hit the GG for a red gem.
  2. 2
    Glide left to a platform with a pool. Flame open the strong chest for 33 gems. Destroy the green and gold-topped chests further along the edge.
  3. 3
    Collect the extra life. Glide back to the area before the supercharge slope. Flame the two piles of armor for 7 gems.
  4. 4
    Flame the strong chest by the dragon platform for 33 gems. Cross the bridge and flame the four piles of armor on the other side for a gold gem each.
  5. 5
    Return to the supercharge slope, enter the whirlwind, jump up steps, go down the supercharge slope, and enter the nearest door on the right.
  6. 6
    Go right, glide diagonally across the gap to the MK, flame it for a green gem, and then flame the two GGs for 3 more gems.
  7. 7
    Flame the armor/MK to the left for another green gem and the GG ahead for another. Break the metal chests by the wall for 4 gems.
  8. 8
    Flame the remaining three MKs for 8 gems. Behind one, find the SW responsible for the havoc. Flame it for a golden gem and smash the wooden chest behind it for another.
  9. 9
    After collecting all gems and completing the level, jump into the 'Return Home' vortex.
  10. 10
    Exit to Dream Weavers Home. Head right, up the whirlwind, and glide across islands to the largest one.
  11. 11
    Jump up the stairs at the front middle, glide to the ledge, hit the two Fools, and jump across the resulting platforms.
  12. 12
    Glide from there to Icy Flight.
  13. 13
    Icy Flight: Ignore the first train. Flame the first two lighthouses straight ahead.
  14. 14
    Continue to the next two lighthouses, lighting the left one, then the fourth.
  15. 15
    Light the fifth lighthouse, then go behind the cliff to flame four chests on platforms (+2 seconds each).
  16. 16
    Navigate a figure-eight path to the middle chest, then head straight for a lighthouse.
  17. 17
    Go up and over to the seventh lighthouse, then around the tower for the last one.
  18. 18
    Fly opposite the direction of the passing train on the track and flame all four trains (+4 seconds each).
  19. 19
    Do a 180 flip and defeat the five heli-gnorcs, adjusting altitude as needed.
  20. 20
    Fly along the track to the next area and defeat the last three heli-gnorcs.
  21. 21
    Return to the starting area, turn right, and fly straight to the chest on the platform at the end of the path.
  22. 22
    Turn left for the next chest, then left again, hugging the right wall, to flame the final object, a chest.
  23. 23
    After collecting all gems, choose 'No' to exit the level.
  24. 24
    Exit to Dream Weavers Home again. Look right over the edge to see the bridge to the balloonist. Glide there.
  25. 25
    Follow the bridge backwards to the portal on the left, leading to Jacques.
  26. 26
    Jacques (Boss Fight): Upon landing, you'll see a Metal Claw Monster. Charge it (it's armored) for a purple gem.
  27. 27
    To the right, a Fat Claw Monster will approach. Flame it, as charging is ineffective due to its speed and protection.
  28. 28
    Follow the wall backward to charge open two metal chests for 4 gems.
