Trouble with the trolley, eh?

I absolutely loathe that you have to speak to that silly seagull every time you crash the cart during the challenge in Breeze Harbor. It's not helped by the fact that the challenge is difficult and requires several attempts to complete, thus maximizing the replay. . . My brother and I have grown so tired of hearing the line that we've begun using it anytime either of us is frustrated. XD

So yes, this thread concerns your least favorite/most difficult tasks you have to complete to obtain orbs. I'm currently replaying the game from start to finish again, and I'm remembering all of my old aggravations!

Another challenge I disliked was the one with Hunter in Magna Cove. It required you to move so quickly, but the camera was infuriatingly slow to catch up! Also, it was too easy to ram or jump right "through" a crystal at the wrong angle without collecting it. I feel as though I beat it out of dumb luck rather than the use of actual strategy.

Anyone else left grumbling at the television screen after a certain challenge?

The challenge in Scorch, where you have to avoid the bombs of the flag thief. I used to just jump around randomly, and sometimes it paid off.. other times it didn't!

Also, another one would have to be.. erm, the target shooting in Canyon Speedway. I reckon that was Hunter's hardest challenge, but yesterday I tried it again and did it first time! big_smile

"Trouble with the trolley" is definetly an infamous phrase in the gaming community.

The one mini-game I will forever hate is the final bonus skateboard round at the of Year of the Dragon. The rollercoaster in Dragon Shores can also get mind-numbingly frustrating. Also, I forgot where it is, but in that one underwater level in Midday Gardens in YotD with the seals and stuff has that mini-game where you have to get to the egg at the end of a current without hitting bombs and killing all the rhynocs. While it doesn't take that long to beat after a few tries, I lost so many times because of the super awkward controls and speed.

In this game though, getting the hockey skill point is the one I will agree with being the hardest thing in the entire game.

I also don't like the task of getting the four skill points in the speedways. (doing it under a certain time). I'm currently playing Spyro 2 now, everything 100%, with 64 Orbs and 10,000 gems, and I have 11 skill points. I just need the speedway ones, but it's hard.. sad

I actually liked the trolley one and the one with Hunter in Magma Cone. The one i hate is that one in Scorch how you have to shoot the guy off the flag pole and then dodge his bombs. I stupidly couldn't see him on the flag pole a couple of years ago and I would stand there and stare and stare and I still couldn't see him roll

By far the worst challenge is were you have to save the villagers from the dinosaurs.

How can you find it easy!

I lost half of my life to that challenge XD

MoneybagsFan25 · Jan 17, 2009 5:31 PM

Im not sure if it was Spyro 2 or 3, but I remember a quest involving a little guy from the Haiku level (probably more likely to be Spyro 3) who always went
"Owwwwwwwwwww
I went boom again"

That for sure was up there with
"Trouble with the trolley eh ?"

The chaallenge in Magno Cave with hunter and the bit with the alchimist and the earthshapers and dinosaurs in Skelos Badlands, the rollacoster in Dragon Shoers and the trolley.

"The Magma Cone challenge was really annoying too. I wish you could just have flamed Hunter out of the way or something. "

it's good to know how to hack...

That's why I like to use the swimming glitch to get those stupid gears instead. XD Another way is to double jump onto the track.

The hardest challenge for me would have to be the Hatching Dinosaurs challenge. I can never ever get it. x_x
That and the secret agent mission at the wizard place. That guy is so annoying.

I don't like the alchemist minigame in Fracture Hills. Why is the alchemist always going into the ...stone men (I can't remember their name). I've done it on 15th try, but if you have the super flame it is easy.
