Effect	Unlocks the doors leading to the Bosses (Ripto's Rage!) Gives Spyro powerful abilities

Orbs are special items that appeared in Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!. Along with talismans, they are energy sources used by residents of Avalar to power their portals. You receive Orbs from doing random sidequests for the people who live in that world, or finding them hidden away somewhere.

Although talismans are the first thing Spyro was told to collect, it turned out that orbs were even more important to the story. The Professor can use the Orbs to help Spyro defeat Ripto. Not only did they break the seal on the castle door (along with other locks across Avalar), they gave Spyro powerful abilities for a limited period of time. Spyro used this to his advantage when facing Ripto. You will need orbs to unlock Ocean Speedway in Summer Forest and Metro Speedway in Autumn Plains, a door in the Autumn Plains Castle, and Ripto's Arena in Winter Tundra.
