Spyro the Dragon / Completion

From the first egg to 120 percent

Audit the original collection, find the hidden flight course and open Gnasty's Loot.

Edition covered

Original 1998 English PlayStation game. Controls, collection rules and routes exclude Spyro Reignited Trilogy.

Use the inventory as a collection map

The main game reaches 100 percent with 80 dragon rescues, 12 stolen eggs and 12,000 gems, together with defeating Gnasty Gnorc. Check each level's inventory rather than estimating progress from the story. Make a short list of incomplete levels and tackle one kind of omission at a time: a missing egg suggests a thief, a missing dragon suggests an unexplored route, and a small gem deficit suggests a local sweep. The rescue count includes later re-crystallized dragons, so do not interpret it as a list of 80 different individuals.

Revisit routes above and below the obvious path

Stone Hill rewards searching its beach and upper walls, while Town Square's thief route asks you to reach ledges beyond the ground-level loop. Tree Tops calls for linked supercharge routes to distant platforms, and Haunted Towers hides a route that goes beyond the initial approach. Practise those movement puzzles independently before sweeping their gems. In Artisans, jumping on the five stones beside the waterfall reveals Sunny Flight. Flight courses use full flight and timed target sets, so plan an efficient circuit, keep moving between targets and retry with a route adjustment when the timer expires.

Open the treasure finale

After the main collection and boss requirements are complete, return to Gnorc Gnexus and rescue the final dragon to open Gnasty's Loot. This reward level adds 2,000 gems, bringing the original game's total to 14,000 and its displayed completion to 120 percent. Its keys and platforms gradually expand how high you can fly, so follow the unlocking sequence before trying to reach every treasure pile. Save after finishing the main collection and again after the reward. Treat remake skill points and trophies as separate systems; they are not part of this original PlayStation completion target.

FIELD NOTE

Gnasty's Loot is a reward for the complete main collection; its 2,000 extra gems are what take the original game to 120 percent.
