The Guidebook, named the Atlas in later installments, is a recurring object in the original Spyro series. It was first introduced in Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!.

Location and uses

The Guidebook is where Spyro can check his progress to see the total number of collectible items in each Home World and realm and how much he has collected. The collectibles shown in the Guidebook depends on the game, although Gems are one of them in every game.

Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!

Elora gave Spyro the Guidebook to help him better understand Avalar and its worlds. The Guidebook lists the number of gems, orbs, skill points, collections, kills, the collected Talismans, and the levels in Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!.

Spyro: Year of the Dragon

The Guidebook was renamed to Atlas. In it, Sparx is used to highlight and select a Home World or realm to view more specific information on it. The total number of gems and Dragon Eggs can be seen for each area. Once you have completed the Sparx Level Bugbot Factory, Sparx will unlocks the ability to warp you into any level using the Atlas.

Spyro: Season of Ice

The Atlas shows the total number of gems collected and fairies rescued on the right pages. The Atlas's first page is headlined "Total Items", and it shows the overall number of gems collected and the game's completion percentage. The individual pages show the name of a Home World and its collectibles on the top. A list of realms and their respective collectibles are listed below the Home World from which they are accessed.

Spyro 2: Season of Flame

Like in Spyro: Season of Ice, the Atlas only shows information for each realm on the right pages. The page layout in the Atlas has changed, and each realm has their own details listed on their own page. The Atlas shows the number of gems and Fireflies for each realm, which also have their own completion percentage shown.

Spyro Reignited Trilogy

In the Reignited Trilogy, the Guidebook is accessible throughout all three games, including the first game. The design on the book shows it has gold letters on a brown cover with gold coverings, and a purple bookmark.
