smilie Cail_Border_08. OK. You will need cynder for this part. You know the part were there are doors with know switch to. The door kinda looks like a face? OK. Of you use cynders shadow attack to where she goes under ground, you can go under the gate and puul the switch. Do that to every door you find. Now once that is done, go back to the electricty thingy. Get spyro to breath on it till the meter fills up. Then get spyro the climb the leafy wall and when you jump of the wall, immeadiatly press circle, this will make you grab on to the big bow. if its done correctly, you will be upside down. Now Quickly switch to cynder and fly to the other side of the cave. The box thing will connect to the other one and you will have the other crystal. I hope this helps, and if your still stuck, ask me again. smilie

smilie Anynomus. Okay, your going to need Spyro for this part. When the doors are closed, go to the side of the screen and you will see like a bowl thing on a platform. They have little dragons on them, breath fire on it until something happens. You will know when something happens. There a bowl on the other side too. Breath fire on that. This will activate the lock. Now, all you have to do now is keep the door closed until the lava looking tubes meet in the middle. Then you will be finished with that level. If you ave anymore questions, ask me again. I hope this helps you. I had that problem to when i first played it. I eneded up maxing out everyone breaths until i figured out what to do. Hope this helps. smilie
