Molten Crater

Molten Crater is a world set around a lava filled crater. There's also a local Club called the Tiki Lodge that residents can go to for. Unfortunately Rhynocs have taken over the realm and exiled all the residents out of the Tiki Lodge. Help one of the residents get back to the Lodge by clearing the way of Rhynocs.

Guide

Eggs

• Curlie (Help the local resident get to the Tiki Lodge and he'll give you an egg)

• Rikki (Near the beginning of the level, there is a bridge across a lava river. Once you get across, jump across the next lava river and go to the left of the big rock in front of you. There's the egg)

• Ryan (As Sgt. Byrd; Pick up the local residents' heads and place them on their bodies. One of the residents will give you the egg)

• Luna (As Sgt. Byrd; Look for a cracked wall left of the entrance and blow it up. The egg is in there)

• Moira (There's a cave near the Exit Portal. Pay that greedy Moneybags 300 gems so that he will allow you to enter. Remember those annoying thieves from Spyro 1 and 2? They're back, and two of them have the last two Eggs in this level! You see a large raceway laid out for you, so get on there and chase after the Yellow Thief!)

• Kermitt (There's still another one! This Red Thief is faster than the first one, so a local Molten Crater resident will activate the Supercharge Panels so you can catch up. Just catch him like the last one)

Trivia

• You can actually do the Sgt. Byrd level before defeating Buzz, as there is a way of getting into it without completing Sgt. Byrd's Base. There are two logs in different heights. Jump onto the smaller one, then the higher one, then glide (and hover if you have to) towards the Entrance to Tiki Lodge. Watch this video to see how it works!
• Molten Crater was mentioned in the beginning of Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly, when Ripto threatened to send Gulp back where he came from (unemployed in Molten Crater, begging for work from Gnasty Gnorc)
• In the non-Greatest Hits version of Spyro 3, the level Dino Mines shares the same music as this level.
