How to defeat Malefor for PS2
You will have three fights. In the first fight, be sure that Spyro and Cynder are in their gold armor. You may want to put Cynder in Black Armor, because her Fury Breath is ten times better in that one. Depending on how you are playing ( By yourself or with someone) Use Cynder's poison or fear scream to stun Malefor, then use Spyro to hit him. If you do it right, green magic gems and red health gems will fly out of Malefor. He will then zoom past you and start throwing those damn fire balls at you. Use your spinning action ( L1) to spin around them. Do the same thing, using Cynder's posion and Spyro's electricity to fight him. It really is key to actually HIT him and not use just magic. At the bottom right hand of your screen, you should see Malefor's health begin to deteroiate. When it gets low enough, it will go to a cutscene, where you will have to press different buttons. If you do it correctly, the world will begin to destory and that leads to the 2nd fight. In this fight, it took myself and my boyfriend ( we played it as two player) forever to pass this part. Malefor will shoot ice and purple fire balls at you. Again, use your spin action to get around these. Be careful though, because the purple balls will target either Spyro or Cynder. Use your magic from time to time, but this is when you really want to HIT Malefor. Use Cynder's poison and Spyro's electricity, BUT Use combos, ( Mainly the Square button) and really just beat the crap outta Malefor. Towards the end, you will want to go into Fury Mode. If you dont know how to do this, hold the triangle and square buttons together . Just hold them, dont press them rapidly, just hold them. Spyro and Cynder willl form purple and blue balls around them, then shoot beams of power out of thier mouths. ( You need to press L2 to shoot the beams) (( Malefore's health needs to be low enough for you to do this). It will then go to another cut scene. You will have to press the buttons in the order they appear on the screen. Okay, now you are at the last fight. Malefor will have a purple bubble around him. HIT THE BUBBLE TO REBUILD YOUR FURY METER. Once your fury meter is full, go into Fury mode again and then it should go into another cut scene. Press the buttons in the order they appear on the screen and there you have it. It will show the ending and then the credits. Wait after the credits for a special scene. Hope this helped you alot, I know my boyfriend and I searched EVERYWHERE on the internet, but no one seems to have info on PS2. Just PS3, Wii and XBOX. But good luck and have fun!

The gate problem
When you are at the dark place at dragon city(malafores traning area) to get in the gates you use cynders shadow element to get under the gates

How to defeat an Elight monster
Hint: to defeat a elight monster you need to see its helmet what ever color the helmet is to determin what element to use and you have to knock off the helmet.and then the monster is able to be hit by any thing.

How to beat an elite enemy in less than five minutes
Of course, knock off the enemy's protective helmet using the Element that matches the color of the helmet (i.e., Green=Cynder's Poison, Blue=Spyro's Ice). If not already available, upgrade Cynder's Poison to allow her to perform Toxic Scorpion Strike. Repeatedly hit the enemy with Scorpion Strike, now and again using Snake Skill to evade attacks. It will only take about four or five Scorpion Strikes to reduce the enemy's health to 50%.
Switch to Spyro. If not already available, upgrade Spyro's Fire to Blazing Comet Dash. Repeatedly hit the enemy with the Dash, and there you have it.
Hint: if you run out of experience points but still want to upgrade, replay the very first level. Take advantage of those random vases or piles of wood you find laying around and harvest Blue Crystals from there. Pretty much anything that isn't nailed to the wall can be useful.

How to fight without fighting
Just upgrade the shadow breath to the last then use it in battle by using shadow fire then blast it on enemies by puting it on them

How to get fury mode very fast

Elite Beasts - Help
You can find elite beast counts through the "Chapter" option under the menu. You must have beat the level to unlock playback mode. An elite beasts has a shiny helmet that the color will vary. A health bar will appear with a demon face. You can only beat it when its helmet is knocked off. The color tells the element:

(Spyro and Cynder's Rage Beam counts as universal)

Red- Fire
Yellow- Thunder
Brown- Earth
Blue- Ice

Green- Poison
Gray- Wind
Purple- Darkness
Red- Fear

Once you knock off the helmet, the monster will fight back then make a run for the helmet. You can kill it before it gets the helmet.

Common Help
There are many common puzzles that have to be solved throughout the game. This will show how to easily get past it.

Lock Wheels, Armor Boxes and Levers
-Go up to two purple spheres by a wheel, iron case or a lever. Press circle then square rapidly. How long you have to depends on what you're working on.

Tuning Forks
-Switch to Cynder and press "Left". Use R2 to scream Fear at the forks. They will spin to a speed then let off a quick show of energy.

Dark Gates
-Switch to Cynder and press "Down". Hold R2 and go through the gate. Dark gates have dark energy on the bottom.

Torches
-Torches are the bowls with two dragon heads. Switch to Spyro and press "Up". Hold R2 until the bowl is fully lit.

Teamwork
-There are common puzzles that need to be done with teamwork, usually on dragon graps something and the other flies.
>>The Raft- go to any dragon. Press Circle by the prongs in the middle. Switch to the other dragon and go airborn. Fly in the direction you need.
>>The Dam- go down the dam. There is a place where you need weights. Grap one, and fly out and to your left. There'll be vines. Climb up to the top with the light dragon. Switch to the heavy dragon and press circle to grab on to the vine. Climb up and jump onto the wood balcony. Get the other dragon off, too. Drop the weight in front of the wooden tube on top. Grab onto the prongs and switch to the other dragon. Start flying until all four wheeles on the wall start spinning. Repeat on the other side.
>>Gate Lift- in Dragon City behind the gate, there is a lift. It works like the same as the raft.

2P Mode: Easy Beat Elites (and large enemies)
If you have Spyro's Lightning element, use it to paralyse the enemy while your partner beats the tar out of it.

Especially easy when the Elite wears a lightning mask - 17 or so hits with R2 ought to knock the mask off and the enemy can't fight back while being electrocuted.

Entrances to special items {Avatar world}
Hint:Ok. So once you defeat all of those enemies that attack the avatar clan {Hunter's place} The leader finds that one of their pack members have disappeared {Meadow} So of course you go to the nearest waterfall and save him and defeat the level. right?
Well, there are also entrances to armor chests. Examples:

*At the largest waterfall
*At the waterfall where you save Meadow. Beside it are vines on which you climb.
*At the Hermit's cave

Malefore Help
Malefore is the last boss. I'll tell you how to easily beat him.

>>Stage 1: Sky

Fly towards him and use Square to weak claw him. Don't waste your time with powerful attacks, he'll take advantage. He has tricks up his sleeve:

Fire ball- If he launches, just move out of the way
Homin Fire Balls- Keep moving. Attack and move around Malefore
Dark Spheres- Keep moving. Once they pass after homing, attack Malefore.
Rage Beam- Not like yours. Just attack from behind when he uses.

Just claw him until his health empties. It's not the end, though.

>>Stage 2: Falling

Again, it's the same, only he has 2/3 health. He remembers the moves from stage 1. Just claw him quickly. He has a new trick, though.

Poison Sphere- When he spirals and flies up, press L1 and pull L3 down. One's the sphere is gone, it's safe.

Just claw, he'll die.

>>Stage 3: Volcano

He has 1/3 left, and now a shield. Switch to Cynder and use her wind attack as Tornado. The rage will go up quickly. Once the purple bar starts glowing, press square and triangle. Switch to Spyro. Use the rage beam to blow apart the shield and kill him.

>>Ending: Cutscene

Now that he's gone, he's still alive and well. You'll reach the heart of the planet. The scene shows his executed dragons pulling him into the Underworld. Spyro "sacrifices" his life to pull the planted to floating islands. But, Spyro's not dead, because the story must continue.
