(What I think are) Top 5 most hated orb challenges

I've been watching a lot of people play this, and I've gathered the top 5 most hated orb challenges.

#1: Fracture Hills- Break down the door (supercharge challenge.
    I personally don't hate this one, mainly because I did it a lot as a younger kid and have made it easy on myself. I would always try to get the skill point "3 laps of supercharge" and it took forever, but once I got it, I kept trying to do it over and over again until I could run through the entire thing without failing.

#2: Scorch: Retrieve the flags
   I didn't find this one particularly hard either, for the same reason. I'm an only child, so if I had trouble getting an orb, I would ask my mom to do it, until one day she told me I could do it myself. Yeah... I don't think I ever really LET her play spyro again. tongue

#3: Metropolis: Ox Challenge (I forgot what it's called)
   I hated this one. This one always took me hours upon hours to complete. I'm going to have to practice this one more, huh?

#4: Sunny Beach: Keep the turtles out of the cauldron 1 & 2.
   I hated this one too. Never really able to keep them out. I always miss one...

And last, but not least:
#5: Skelos Badlands: Lava Lizards 1 & 2.
   I didn't really mind this one. To help me, I drew a map of the area, marked which Lizards would go where when, memorized it, and it always seemed to help. But I've long lost that paper, and I forgot the order, so looks like I'll have to make it again. tongue

Well, I didn't get this from anywhere but watching youtubers play this game and these seemed to be the most hated challenges among them all. Post the top 5 challenges you hate the most below! big_smile

I remember the 2nd Lava Lizard challenge giving me a lot of trouble too. Other notable ones I can remember are the Agent Zero mission and of course, "TROUBLE WITH THE TROLLEY, EH?"

For me, Spyro 3 had a lot more challenges I always resented doing when I replayed the game.

Re: (What I think are) Top 5 most hated orb challenges

the 2nd lava lizards thing was really bad for me.

it wasn't on the list, but the orb in Molten Crater where you have to fly around was really annoying, too.

THE ALCHEMIST.

i'm surprised it took three posts for him to come up.

Not sure how I forgot the alchemist. That challenge gave me hell as a kid

The second Crystal Orb is the only orb that to this day still can cost me in a speedrun. There is a slight element of randomness which is a speedrunner's worst nightmare :V
