Cheats & Guides

Spyro: Year of the Dragon Cheats For PlayStation

  1. Extra Lives Trick

    The little animals that inhabit each stage ("fodder") are used to refill the player's health. You may have, occasionally, received an extra life when killing a fodder animal. This is not random - every ten fodder animals killed grants an extra life. Fodder respawns often; one easy way to stock up on lives is to repeatedly kill respawning fodder animals in Midday Gardens and Midnight Mountain.
