The game makes it nearly impossible to get a certain orb and few gems without getting the climb ability, but it's possible.



Hard for me considering I did it on my PSP ^^;

That's what I usually do when I play Spyro 2, so that I can get the swimming ability without going into Colossus or Idol Springs.
The way shown in the video is the one I used until I learned how to do a double jump.
Another way to do it without double jump is to, in the outside area with gem lamps, fly along the wall with grass on top of it, near the super fly powerup and hover at a slight corner, to get on top of the hills surrounding the level, from which you can easily get to the other powerup.

You can actually get all of the abilities by entering a secret code too. But that's another way to do it without the abilities. c:

Two words to beating Glimmer 100% the first time:
Double jump.

8 words:

I do not know how to double jump

EDIT: I did the level without learning to climb! It took me 3 times to glide to the powerup, but no matter, i still did it

To Double Jump in Spyro 2, there are many different methods. My method of Double Jumping is first press the X-Button to single jump. Then, while Spyro is still in the air, press both the X-Button and the Square Button simultaneously while Spyro is still in the air. If done right, you should be able to successfully Double Jump.

Note: If my method doesn't work toward Double Jumping, then try other methods of Double Jumping either online or somewhere else.

You kids can't even figure out this? Jesus...

Leave them to it

Urgh, I can't be bothered with the double jump, I'm lazy, I just use the All Abilities code.

Yeah, all the time.

Okay, since I have something worth saying I feel as if I can post here... So you can't report me.

I beat all of Glimmer 100% in two ways:
1. Use the cheat code that unlocks all abilities. That way, you can do your last challenge without having to come back later.

2. (my fave) Double jump! Someone already brought this up, but I thought I'd post it here. If you double jump you can skip Money Bags and do the challenges without having to climb.

To double jump, press the JUMP button and right afterwards press the charge button. He should kick and get higher. You can find plenty of Youtube videos about it. To find the cheat that lets you unlock all of your abilities, just go up to the link on darkSpyro that says "GTG".

I just jump and glide from the big gem. :/

Nope. Never done this before.

*raises hand* I do all the time, whether it's help from the cheat code or the double jump..

I used cheat codes >>

Omigosh paris, you actually put that as your sig?

Im chaning it..

Okay... I was gonna say, a little TMI lulz... X)

Off topicness!

Anyway: you know, with the double jump it's also possible to beat Glimmer with 0%... I've done it before xD

Heh, yeah, ever since I worked out how to double jump, I do things like that often

I don't, it makes the game boring after a while, I just like to play it how it is meant to be played.

Heh, not me. xD I love playing games with as many glitches as possible. Sometimes I search Youtube specifically for glitches I haven't found just to try them,

I've done it once.

Oh yeah I can do that!

Yeah, same here

It's just fun trying out them for yourself
