Defeating Red's Stupid Snowballs
When Red Shots The snowballs use your fire breath and spin at the same time and it will stop them befor they hit you. dont hit the side of the ring wile doing it though

Moneybags' teleportation pass
When you use a moneybags telepass you can go to other levels within the realm if you have activated the shop pads.

Ineptune
To defeat ineptune is really easy. She opens her mouth and breathes out a green breath. once she is done with that she will close her eyes, then you charge at her purple belt. once she dives under water two platforms will rise up and blue lasers will come out. thats when you use your double jump abillity. Then she will rise out of the water and start throwing green balls. you have to dodge those then she will do green breath again.

Dont use the poles in the 2nd elders house
Instead of using the poles look for a barrel with a bottle of poison next to it, jump onto the barrel and go to the platform above the entrance. then jump to any other platform. it allows access to EVERYTHING in that house without the elders lesson. but after I suggest talking to the elder, because we all know that you NEED the pole spin ability. this is very easy and even a new player could attemp and complete this.

Spyro goes to sleep
Just leave spyro for a cupple off mins like 30min at least

Imatune
The imatune is hard to defete but charge her when she doses of.

Crocoville swamp
In the elders home in crocoville home, after she teaches you the pole trick on your right there should be poles spin on the till you get to land, as soon as you get off the poles charge into the wall on the right. there should be an egg and a fire cracker. after you lite the firecracker jump out of the big crack just above the entrance to the elders home and pole spin across and the gems should be there.

the next is in the elders home aswell pole spin till you get to land jump up to the next peice of land and you will find a light gem.

another cheat that reveals a secret light gem is directly infront of the temple everyone should no the path to go further into the level, follow the path until you come across a blue stone in the wall on your left charge it and should reveal a light gem.

the last of my cheats is at the start with the tower on your right, climb to the top of it and fly to the cannon get on the cannon and shoot the top of the tower two or three times until it breaks it should reveal a light gem.

How to get spyro to sleep
Just do nothing for a while.

Ball gadget
You need 8 light gems to go in the ball gadget! get pick locks and open chests they can open doors or get a light gem!

Last ember egg
For those who have asked about the last ember egg and where do you find it I have a place where I think it mite be

in the sunken ruins after the dark gem where it reveals a whirlwind comin out of a fan fly on the whirlwind until it takes you off and fly straight do that for all the fans and an ember egg is there in a chest or by itself I cant remember. and there is a light gem aswell

Elders
The elder's in spyro are quite hard to find! The one which teahches you to wing sheild is in the cloudy domanation! When you have learned that try to find someone with a baloon! He throwes a boomarang at you! Do the wing sheild and it will knock him of! From Luke

Enamys
Blue crabs you need to do electric breath
