Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Continue upwards, collecting 4 gems and charging metal crates on the top step for 7 gems.
  2. 2
    Nils is at the top of the steps; he explains L2/R2 control the camera. The Right Analog Stick is not used. L2 rotates left, R2 rotates right. Camera moves faster in active mode. Change camera mode in the 'Options' Menu from the START Menu.
  3. 3
    Glide left to collect a green gem and encounter Mooses, which ram into you. You can charge or flame them. Charging yields a gem but they remain. Flaming defeats them and yields a gem. Both Mooses drop a green gem.
  4. 4
    Collect 3 gems from wooden chests to the right.
  5. 5
    Jump up more steps to the right. Destroy two wooden chests at the top for 3 gems.
  6. 6
    Find a purple-topped chest. Flame it to release a purple gem; jump to collect it before it falls. The chest breaks after.
  7. 7
    Glide right over a gap to collect three red gems and a life.
  8. 8
    Glide over a patch of water (avoid falling in) and collect 4 gems on the other side.
  9. 9
    Devlin is found over the pit of water. He reminds you that hitting X at the peak of your jump allows for a longer glide.
  10. 10
    Collect 5 gems from the wooden chest behind Devlin.
  11. 11
    Defeat a Gnorc Runner (runs away from Mooses, may revive them if only charged, and attacks you after being saved) and the Moose chasing it. Both drop a green gem.
  12. 12
    Go to the back end of the area and collect 9 gems from 3 metal chests.
  13. 13
    Jump up steps at the front end and collect 4 gems from 3 wooden chests behind chickens.
  14. 14
    Collect three red gems on the floor.
  15. 15
    Collect 11 gems from remaining Mooses.
  16. 16
    Defeat another Gnorc Runner for a green gem. Charge three metal chests: two yield green gems, one yields your first gold gem (worth 10 gems).
  17. 17
    Go around the 'Return Home' vortex for 11 gems. Collect any remaining gems in the area.
  18. 18
    Alvar is in the area with the 'Return Home' vortex. He explains there's an Egg Thief in Town Square.
  19. 19
    Go back to the last group of chickens, jump onto the platform, face downstairs, and glide around the wall to the right to find the Egg Thief in a tunnel. Catch him the same way as in Stone Hill. (1/1 Dragon Egg Rescued).
  20. 20
    Collect 7 gems near the start of this section and 4 more outside the tunnel.
  21. 21
    Go up the tunnel, collecting 4 red gems and 3 green gems.
  22. 22
    At the end, go right and collect 8 gems from metal and wooden chests.
  23. 23
    Collect two green gems at the top of this land stretch.
  24. 24
    Glide over and collect 7 gems from two wooden chests.
  25. 25
    Charge through metal chests for 8 gems and collect another 8 gems loose around.
  26. 26
    Glide over the gap towards the last dragon. Collect green and red gems.
  27. 27
    Destroy two wooden chests for a purple and a gold gem.
  28. 28
    Defeat the last Moose for another gold gem.
  29. 29
    Find a spinner chest. Flame it to make it spin. Flame it again for faster spinning, and a third flame breaks it. You can aim the spinner by flaming it while facing a target (like the Moose) to destroy it. This yields the last 10 gems. (200/200 Gems Collected).
  30. 30
    Thor is on the upper area reachable from the thief area. (4/4 Dragons Freed).
  31. 31
    Jump down from Thor and enter the 'Return Home' vortex.
