FINALLY got my PS2 to load the game past the Golem in Dragon City, here's some problems I STILL have though...

1) Missing one of the Ruins of Warfang spirit gems (dark's walkthrough didn't help)

2) Missing armour (I believe that's what it was) in The Dam and The Destroyer.

Suggestions? Preferrably of the picture/video variety?

You only ever see Ember once for a few seconds, in LoS you see Cynder pretty much now and then through the whole series, and all the time in DOTD smilie
