Alright I beat Dotd not too long ago and if anyone wants to know what happens keep reading


In the end
you defeat Malefor after fighting him 3 or 4 times and sometime during that Cynder turns evil again but Spyro won't fight her so she asks"why won't you fight me" and Spyro says "because Malefore left me with nothing to fight for" Cynder turns good again and in the end after Malefor is finally defeated Spyro tells Cynder to get away from him because he knows what he must do but she says she will stay with him and Spyro makes a huge bubble to save the earth from falling apart and right before they die you can hear Cynder whisper"I love you"then Ignatius becomes the new Chronicler but he can't find any trace of Spyro in a book where pages on dragons after they die are shown Ignatius then says"where are you young dragon?" after which the game zooms in on a crystal around Ignatius' neck it then shows Spyro and Cynder flying around an area that looks oddly like Avalar and that's how the game ends and yes Ignatius seems to die because his spirit talks to Spyro but i'm not sure if he is really dead or not it is a very confusing ending.

I got Dotd when it first came out in October and beat it in 3 days all I can say is that it suprised me how much happens in the game and yet it didn't seem too long oh well hope spyro continues on.

I have answered my own question. You need to play as cinder and use dark shadow and she goes under the gateways.

I am trying hard to get the last crystal in the ruins of warfang and can't get it. I egnite the electic lever which pulls the blocks into the wall but can't go anywhere. I crash down into the tunnel and keep getting squashed.
