Now it's mentioned Spyro himself went there and literally tore a hole through Malefor (again), Gained Cynder as a ally and gave her freedom, Hex is mentioned to of defeated Malefor in the end.
Anyone want to make crazy theories on how this happened or went down?.
Personally I find that Spyro encountered Malefor but dealt with Cynder first, during this the two did a number on whatever his so called army was meanwhile Hex saw a chance of backstabbing and decided "Just as planned"
