Part 30

Complete Spyro the Dragon Part 30 walkthrough, including how to collect all 300 gems and free dragons.

Continue forwards and jump over the gap to a floating half of a log with three explosive chests on. Flame the closest one and jump back to mainland for safety. Jump back and flame the other two open. They each drop a purple gem. Jump over to the next island where you'll find a Wild Boar. These guys run around, and once you get near them they run full speed at you. They're pretty skilled and fast so be cautious and try to make them run into a flame. This first one drops a purple gem. Grab the 3 loose gems that are also here.

Look around to find that there is an island on either side of you. Glide to the right-hand one and flame the Wild Boar there for another purple gem. Grab the 5 loose gems total on here, where there is also the portal to 'Misty Bog', probably the easiest level in the Beast Makers. Glide over to the island in view to find a pair of spinner crates. Flame them open for a purple gem each.

You can find Cleetus on the biggest island you can glide to from the one with Misty Bog on it. He'll greet you then say that he's gotta go... weird. This is where you can free the 2/2 Dragons.

Run over into the small building on this island to find eight chests each containing a green gem. Now run out and towards the well here. The rest may have confronted you with dirty water when you jumped in, but this one drops down into a secret room. You'll land at 11 gems. Break open the chests to the right of the 'Wild Flight' portal to find a purple gem in each. A whirlwind (a swirling vortex of air that lifts you up) will have appeared where you dropped in from, only it doesn't touch the floor. So, don't think your game is glitched - just jump to reach it and get out. Once out, be extra cautious as we go around the back of the building. Have your camera rotated to view around it, and be ready to flame the Wild Boar that appears before you. A golden gem is your reward. Continue around the side to bag yourself another 9 loose gems.

Now glide back over to "Misty Bog Island" and then to the other one adjacent to it, and finally over to the other big one with a Wild Boar on. Flame it quick for a green gem, then collect the 6 gems nearby here. Run over to the big tree in the distance and get the three red gems from near the tiny tree here in the first gap between the log thingys here. Go over two gaps to the right to find a hidden golden gem, and then over the next log to find the portal to 'Tree Tops', officially the hardest level in the game. Carry on behind it and grab 4 loose red gems.

Run over the bridge ahead and into the next area. Grab the extra life on the left, and then run around the well to the right until you see five metal chests in between the walls, each containing a green gem. Run around the wall to a step, which you should jump up to see a Flame Gnorc (an enemy that shoots fire) playing with the floor. Wait until it's not electrified, then jump up and quickly charge him off for a purple gem. Look to the left and glide over to the next platform, ensuring it's safe when you do. Defeat another Flame Gnorc for another purple gem. To the left is a really long floor between you and the Flame Gnorc. Wait until it's just gone grey, and immediately charge over and into the Flame Gnorc for a golden gem, and thus that's the last enemy of the level. In this last area, grab 5 loose red gems between the two spinner chests to the left, and then break them open for 7 gems.

Scour the rest of this bit for 8 more gems, nearby the 'Metalhead' portal, with my favourite boss battle in. Also check the bridge with the balloonist on for a spare gem. On the tall pyramid-ish building to the right, you'll see some narrow steps. Jump up onto the ledge half-way up to the top, and go to the right to find 8 loose gems. Now go to the corner where the last gem is, and look out into the distance over the swamp muck. You should see some sparkling, and a faint log. Glide to it for this Distant Log, which contains 7 gems.

Look around to find some lower logs. Glide to the nearest one with 9 gems on, then over to the next one, and finally up to mainland again. Run back to where the balloonist was, and jump down. In the corner to the left, next to a whirlwind which takes you back up to where the balloonist is, this is near the corner between some building wall things. This chest contains 45 gems.

You have now collected 300/300 gems and completed the level.

If things are still missing, I recommend exploring the outer edge, going down the well on Cleetus' island, or just generally looking around. Now head back to the island you started on, on the bit near Bruno. Head into Terrace Village.

Extra Notes: Definitely one of my least favourite levels. Annoying enemies, annoying traps, that sort of thing. It's boring too.

Flying into this level, you'll land on a round ledge surrounded my logs. As you walk ahead, you'll see your first Laser Gnorc. When you approach, it'll charge its gun up and then fire a laser at you from it. It's pretty hard to avoid, so flame quick. That'll get you a purple gem. Jump up the st
