Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage! Trophy Guide & Roadmap

World: Summer Forest / Level: Glimmer

This takes place in the very first level, Glimmer. Once you reach the final area (before exiting the level turn left), you will need to reactivate the central rotunda with a big blue gem on top by flaming the 6 surrounding gem lamps. First, you need to farm 10 kills in this level to activate the power-up gate in the area with the rotunda. Once you’ve activated the gate, talk to “Kanga the Gemcutter” who gives you the challenge to light all 6 lamps. Then step through the purple power-up gate, fly around the area and flame each lamp. If you don’t miss any lamp, you’ll easily do this within the 15 seconds time limit. Once you’ve lit all the lamps, Kanga will give you an orb and the trophy will unlock.

This takes place in Summer Forest. After reuniting with Elora and Hunter, you will start exploring this beautiful Home World. When you reach the main hub with the portals to Idol Springs and Colossus, you can see Hunter waiting for you on top of a ledge. Talk to him and he’ll guide you through some basic mechanics of the game, such as jumping, charging, and jumping + gliding. Once you’ve completed Hunter’s challenge, he’ll reward you with an orb and the trophy will unlock.

World: Summer Forest / Level: Idol Springs

This takes place in the Idol Springs level of the Summer Forest World. Before you can do this, you must first pay gems to the “Moneybags” character to learn how to swim underwater (Moneybags is found in the Summer Forest world). With the underwater ability you can dive down the pond at the start of the Idol Springs to find a hidden side area.

In that side area is a foreman who gives you a challenge – he wants you to hop on some jumping pads and turn them all yellow. Simply hop on each of the corner stones one time and the puzzle will be complete (you can reset the puzzle by talking to the foreman again if you mess up). Then he asks you to meet him at the pond so do some backtracking to the starting area. Talk to the foreman and he’ll challenge you to feed the idol fish. To unlock this trophy you must avoid feeding him red fish. If it so happens, the idol will throw up the fish he has been fed and the fish counter will go down a couple of numbers. Restart the level if you’ve fed him red fish by mistake (only blue + yellow fish are allowed). Once you complete this challenge, you’ll unlock the trophy and you can move on to the third and final challenge that will net you an orb.

As the trophy description suggests, this takes place in Colossus. One of the enemy types in Colossus are goats. To unlock this trophy, just charge one of them. There is one right at the beginning of the level after talking to the monk.

This takes place in Hurricos. One of the enemy types in Hurricos are robots charged by huge workmen, called Geargrinders. To defeat a robot charge through them. Defeat them all to unlock this trophy.

This takes place in Sunny Beach. You can only attempt this challenge after you’ve acquired the Climbing skill that you can buy from Moneybags in Autumn Plains for 500 gems. Once you’ve acquired the skill, go back to Sunny Beach, climb the wall that is at the end of the level, and talk to Master Chef. You will need to save every turtle from committing suicide by head-butting them towards the pool of water on the side of the arena. This challenge stretches over two rounds. Once you’ve finished the second challenge, you will be rewarded with an orb and the trophy. You are allowed to also flame the turtles to make them run in another direction. The important part is only that you headbutt them into the pool of water by ramming them with .

World: Summer Forest / Level: Aquaria Towers

This takes place in Aquaria Towers. There is a power-up gate here that gives you the Super Flame power. You must first reach the end of the level and kill 14 enemies along the way to unlock the power-up gate and then retrace your steps to destroy each Roboshark you see in the level. Blow each one of them up and you’ll get this trophy. There are 3 groups of shark in total. One group is in the second flooded area of the level, two groups are in the section where you bought a submarine from moneybags.

World: Summer Forest / Level: Crush’s Dungeon

You can only attempt this trophy once you have all the necessary requirements to access the boss, which are the 6 talismans you should have if you have visited and played through the end of each level in Summer Forest. This trophy requires you to beat Crush, Summer Forest’s main boss, without killing any fodder. Fodder is what keeps Sparx healthy and it can be either flamed or charged through. Just be careful as you face Crush because you might accidentally burn fodder given how the camera is set, so I suggest you always look around before flaming Crush to make sure that no fodder is in the way of your flame. You should know that leaving fodder in the arena will result in Crush eating it to replenish part of his health, making the fight slightly more challenging than in the original game. Needless to say, don’t kill any fodder to replenish Sprax’s health if you get hit as that will void the trophy. If you do by mistake, just quit and try again. Once you have beaten Crush, the trophy will unlock.

World: Summer Forest / Level: Ocean Speedway

This takes place in Ocean Speedway (part of Summer Forest world), the first Speedway of the game. Speedways are a flying type of realm where you must fly around in an obstacle course, either flaming / charging obstacles or going through them before the allotted time is up. For this trophy you need to fly where the fish crowd and Queen Finny are, which, from where you spawn are directly in front of you on a balcony. For this trophy you literally need to warm up the crowd by flaming the NPCs.

GLTICHED: the trophy may not unlock after flaming the fish NPCs in Ocean Speedway. If so happens, quit and restart the speedway. Then fly to the stands and try again.

World: Autumn Plains

This takes place in Autumn Plains and is arguably one of the most satisfying glides in all of the trilogy. For this trophy you need to complete a very long glide to the island you see in the distance in Autumn Plains. To do this you need to reach the highest tower of the castle. First of all, acquire the Climbing skill from Moneybags for 500 gems and make your way to the gate where Professor is. Make sure to have collected at least 8 orbs to access this new area of the castle. Continue on and towards the end, before reaching the entrance to Gulp’s Overlook, you’ll see a set of stairs. Look to your left and you’ll notice a cracked wall. Charge through it to uncover a new area. Use the following whirlwinds to gain altitude and reach the tower. Once you’ve reached the tower, collect everything on top and prepare for the glide by jumping and pressing  again at the top of your jump. Spyro will perform a sensational glide. As you glide, use the camera to take the world in. Once you land on the island, the trophy will unlock and you’ll be able to collect an orb, which unlocks the trophy. There’s a 2nd hidden orb on the castle walls. After the trophy pops you can glide over to the wall and find another cracked wall at the end, charge through it, and find the 2nd orb of this level behind it for 100% completion.

World: Autumn Plains / Level: Crystal Glacier

This takes place in Crystal Glacier. One of the orb challenges here requires you to kill 18 ferocious, green, slimy spiders found in the large caves of the level while using the fly power-up. The power-up gate is found at the end of the level and you must have killed 15 enemies to unlock it.
You need to kill all 18 spiders (Dracklets) in one glide without touching the ground and without missing any spider. This trophy requires precision and timing because missing even one spider means having to redo the challenge from scratch. This is because these slimy creatures regenerate if you don’t kill them all in one single glide. Bear also in mind that the power-up time limit is not generous at all, meaning that you will only have just enough time to finish the challenge in one go. You won’t have enough time to finish the course if you backtrack because you have missed one or more spiders. This will take some practice and several tries. If you miss a spider, fly in the water to let Spyro drown, then you respawn at the start of the challenge right away.

This trophy requires you to not touch the orange lava while playing through Skelos Badlands. Simply rush through the level’s main path and reach the exit gate (no need to 100% it). If for some reason you touch the lava, quit or finish the level and replay it.

This takes place in Zephyr. You need to pay Moneybags 400 gems to unlock this level. One of the enemy types here are Breezebuilder Parrots that throw TNT at you. The easiest way to unlock this trophy is towards the end of the level. After using the second cannon to blast the door off, you’ll be able to access a new area. Right after you’ve blown the doors away, you’ll see a Parrot ready to throw sticks of dynamites at you. Use the cannon a second time to get rid of him and unlock the trophy.

World: Autumn Plains / Level: Breezer Harbor

This takes place in Breeze Harbor. This is one of the orb challenges of the level and to reach it you must go through the power-up gate at the end of the level (which requires you to have killed 14 enemies). To get the trophy you need to do a clean run with the trolley (Trouble with the trolley, eh?). Clean run means not hitting any of the course obstacles as you collect all 50 gears. If you hit one of the obstacles, you will die and have to start over. This probably will require you a couple of tries.

A few tips to make this easier:

1. Make sure to use the trolley built-in cannon to change the signs and take the different directions you can take during this challenge.
2. Cranes will randomly put Crates or TNT in your way. Jump over crates and shoot the TNT, otherwise you’ll die.

World: Autumn Plains / Level: Scorch

This takes place in Scorch. This is an orb challenge given by Handel, the NPC at this level’s exit gate. First, you must have unlocked the power-up gate by killing enough enemies and then talk to Handel at the level exit to get his challenge. Go through the power-up gate to get the Superflame. Use it to shoot down the Flagkeeper from the 3 towers – the ones where you had to hit the red buttons to raise the flags to progress in the level. In total there are 3 flags to get from him – you find Bob The Flagkeeper at the last flag tower, then the middle tower, then the tower at the level start. Press to aim at the top of the towers and to shoot down the Flagkeeper with the Superflame power-up. Then you can talk to him and must chase him to the level exit. As you do this, he will throw green bombs. For the trophy you can’t get hit by a bomb. The easiest way is to move towards him to trigger a bomb throw, retreat (run back behind cover), repeat. With each bomb throw he moves closer to the goal so just rinse and repeat (let him throw bomb, retreat, move towards him so he throws the next bomb). You can also swerve left or right when one of the bombs is about to hit you. However, keep in mind he only moves and throws bombs when you get close to him. Once you’ve collected all 3 flags the trophy will unlock instantly even before you get the orb reward. If you get hit, exit the level and replay it.

World: Autumn Plains / Level: Fracture Hills

This takes place in Fracture Hills. To unlock this trophy you need to kill every Earthshaper in the level, huge rocky creatures that are taking the Fauns captive. You can only attempt this trophy once you’ve acquired the Headbash skill from Moneybags for 1,000 gems in Winter Tundra. Once you have, return here and take on the Alchemist challenge. This challenge spans over two parts: for the first part you need to create a path for the Alchemist to walk on by charging the Earthshapers that are blocking his path. Charge the Earthshapers to take them out of the pathway and bring the Alchemist’s formula to Hunter to free him and receive an orb. After freeing him, you can start the second part of the challenge and this is where you will need the Headbash skill to kill the Earthshapers that Hunter will knock out with his bow. Once all Earthshapers are killed, the challenge will end and you’ll get the orb. After this challenge, if you haven’t already, you can go around the level and push the remaining Earthshpers into the lava to unlock the trophy. You can also do this after unlocking the Permanent Superflame power-up at the end of the game.

This takes place in Magma Cone. One of the orb challenges requires you to defeat Hunter in a Popcorn Crystal face-off. You find it in the big climbable tower of the starting area (can glide to a climbable section on the side of the tower and inside you’ll find a frozen underground section). Whereas the challenge to obtain the first orb is rather easy, the second is not as much as you have to collect more crystals. To unlock this trophy you need to follow Hunter until he’s just about ready to grab a crystal (doesn’t matter if you do it in the first or second challenge). Right before he moves his paw to pick it up, intercept him and steal it right before his face.

Similarly to Unburnt, for this trophy you mustn’t touch the hazardous green water in Shady Oasis. Just rush through the main path and reach the exit gate (no need to 100% this level). You should unlock the trophy when you get the talisman at the end of the level. If for some reason you touch the hazardous water, quit or finish the level and replay it.

World: Autumn Plains / Level: Gulp’s Overlook

This takes place in the boss level “Gulp’s Overlook” which is the final level of the Autumn Plains World. To access it, you must have beaten every other level in Autumn Plains World. Just like Conservationist 1, this time you must defeat the second boss “Gulp” without consuming any fodder (represented by sheep in this level). Fodder is what keeps Sparx (the dragonfly following Spyro) healthy and it can be either flamed or charged through. Just be careful not to kill any fodder (sheep) yourself.

The best way to avoid getting hit completely (Sparx is bright yellow color). Then no fodder can spawn. No fodder = no way to kill it by accident. Gulp would only eat the fodder, thus replenishing his health and making this fight a lot longer and harder. If you get hit near the end (Gulp has only 2-3 health points left) it’s okay, just try to defeat him before the birds bring in any fodder.

Boss Strategy:

1. The fight always starts with Gulp charging at you. When he does that, run past his side (hold to run) just before Gulp jumps off the ground. If you time it right he will always miss you. Don’t just run in circles around him, actually stand still and wait until he’s about to jump at you and then start charging to his side.
2. First some barrels will spawn, charge at them to throw them at Gulp.
3. Gulp now starts shooting his green plasma cannon at you. This is easy to avoid. Just retreat to the edge of the arena and stand completely still. When he shoots the laser, walk forward to the right, then walk forward to the left. Rinse and repeat until the birds drop explosives. They will first drop bombs which you must flame.
4. In the third wave the birds will start dropping rockets. Always wait until they have dropped two of them! Pick one up but don’t shoot it yet. Run over to the second rocket. Shoot the one you’re holding at Gulp. Then immediately pick up the other rocket and shoot that at Gulp, too! This way you can take away two of his health points at once, just be quick enough before Gulp jumps up as he will destroy all attack items in the arena.
5. Rinse and repeat. Always pick up two rockets to take down 2 health points at once. Stand at the edge and walk forward right / forward left to dodge the plasma cannon, wait for 2 rockets to drop, repeat. Near the end, Gulp will start shooting 4-6 plasma shots at you but you can use the same tactic of moving right and left to avoid them.

This takes place in Icy Speedway in Autumn Plains. Pay the character “Moneybags” to open up this level. In this Speedway one of the obstacles you need to charge and flame are 4 Snowmobiles and 4 Hang Gliders respectively. For this trophy charge through all 4 Snowmobiles BEFORE flaming all overhead Hang Gliders. To unlock the trophy you must kill one more Hang Glider after defeating the 4 Snowmobiles.

This takes place in the other Speedway level in Autumn Plains, Metro Speedway. For this trophy you need to flame all pigeons first before flaming or charging through any other obstacle in the level. This is very easy as pigeons are, predictably, the first set of obstacles Spyro will get rid of based on the position in the level where our hero spawns. Once you’ve flamed them all, the trophy will unlock.

World: Winter Tundra

In the third Home World in Avalar, Winter Tundra, Spyro will learn his last and final move, the Headbash. To learn this skill you need to pay Moneybags 1,000 gems. Once you’ve learned the skill, you will need to head-bash all 6 rocks in the starting area (all are found in the yard where Moneybags stands, before entering the courtyard). Jump and press to use headbash.

World: Winter Tundra / Level: Mystic Marsh

In Mystic Marsh, the first world you’ll visit in Winter Tundra, are 8 monkeys. They are hanging from trees and buildings and will throw apples at you. Charge through every Monkey in this level to unlock this trophy. Make sure you do NOT flame them.

1. On a tree left of the level start
2. On a tree right of the level start
3. On a tree in front of the level start (behind power-up gate)
4. At the end of the spawn area, on a tree by a cliff where an elephant is. This one is easy to flame by mistake if you flame the elephant. Be sure to let the elephant charge at you to lure it away from the monkey.
5. On top of the towers.
6. On top of the towers.
7. On top of the last tower.
8. On a tree in front of the level exit.

As per trophy description, do NOT charge through or flame any of the sheep in Cloud Temples. This means white sheep (fodder for Sparx, the dragonfly that follows Spyro). You are allowed to kill the purple goat enemies throughout the level, just not the tiny white sheep. If you stay strictly on the main path you won’t encounter any sheep at all, they are only found in optional side corners of the level. If you kill one by mistake, quit the level and try again. This trophy should unlock when you receive the final orb at the end of the level. So in case you replay it, don’t make the mistake of stepping through the exit gate right away, make sure you actually talk to the orb giver before the exit gate.

World: Winter Tundra / Level: Metropolis

This takes place in the Level “Metropolis” of the Winter Tundra World. To access it you need 25 orbs.

In one of the orb challenges you need to beat a bomb-throwing ox. To kill the ox you have to flame the bombs he throws at you back at him. While the first bomb he throws at you is easy to flame back since it comes straight at you, the following ones are thrown in all different directions. Simply stick to right side against the wall. He can’t hit you there but when he throws a bomb to the right you can easily flame it back at him. If you get hit, let yourself die to retry the the challenge.

It’s easier to do this after unlocking the Permanent Superflame power-up at the end of the game. After you have the Permanent Superflame, go back to Metropolis and you can kill the Ox without even starting the Orb challenge! In fact, you can kill the Ox and not even touch the ice! Once you’ve beaten the ox without taking any hits, you’ll unlock this trophy. If it doesn’t pop you can replay the level.

World: Winter Tundra / Level: Robotica Farms

This takes place in Robotica Farms. Throughout this level are Robo Bees. To kill them you will need to spit rocks at them by using  to go into first-person view and to shoot the rock. Kill all Robo Bees this way (do NOT ram or flame them) and you’ll unlock the trophy.

This take place during the final showdown against Ripto. You will probably net this trophy without too much effort. During the fight, Hunter will drop red, green, and blue orbs into the arena from the sky. Each orb gives you a time-limited power-up that you can use against Ripto. Red orbs give you temporary Super Flame, green orbs temporarily enable you to spit green rocks of scolding lava, and the blue orb allows you to temporarily Supercharge through the enemy. Use each orb at least once during the battle to unlock this trophy. If you somehow miss this, you can always fight Ripto again or quit and try again.

This takes place in Canyon Speedway. During this Speedway, one of the set of obstacles you’ll have to charge through are Buggies riding mortorbikes. Charging through them instead of flaming them as you fly is a sure-fire way to unlock this trophy. Charge through at least 5 of them and you’ll net this trophy.
