The Crystal Dragon Health Glitch causes [[Spyro the Dragon (character)|Spyro]] to become invincible under certain circumstances. There are two ways to induce this glitch, but there are at least 15 occurrences in the game where this glitch is found. The most common one is found in [[Stone Hill]].
The Crystal Dragon Health Glitch is caused when [[Spyro]] is killed whilst rescuing a dragon in Spyro 1, when this happens, the game will register you dying, but will also play the cutscene of the dragon, after which will end leaving you in a mode which the game deems dead, meaning that any physical properties that Spyro had (drowning, ability to feed Sparx, dying etc.) will be unprocessed by the game.


First, the player must lower their [[Sparx the Dragonfly|health]] by confront a [[Rams|Ram]], [[Shepherds|Shepherd]], or by diving into water. Make sure that Sparx is gone, then find the Ram near the "Return Home [[Whirlwind]]. Also, make sure that the dragon is crystalized. Position yourself in front of the [[Crystal Statues|crystal statue]] so that the Ram charges you into the dragon.
This can be related to the [[Dead Mode]] Glitch that can be found in Spyro 2 and Spyro 3.
 
When you die, the game bypasses this with the cutscene of the dragon. When the scene ends, you are invincible.

The Crystal Dragon Health Glitch is a glitch that only occurs in the original Spyro the Dragon.

Description

The Crystal Dragon Health Glitch is caused when Spyro is killed whilst rescuing a dragon in Spyro 1, when this happens, the game will register you dying, but will also play the cutscene of the dragon, after which will end leaving you in a mode which the game deems dead, meaning that any physical properties that Spyro had (drowning, ability to feed Sparx, dying etc.) will be unprocessed by the game.

This can be related to the Dead Mode Glitch that can be found in Spyro 2 and Spyro 3.

  • You will be able to fly over water without drowning.

Cons

  • Though you can use the Return Home portal, you will not be able to enter any portals (Dark Hollow, Town Square, etc.). However, you can still talk to the Balloonist. Before you perform the glitch, pull up the inventory screen and input the following cheat: Square, Square, Circle, Left, Right, Circle, Up, Right, Down. This will allow you to travel to any homeworld.
