The dragonfly can point to treasure???

[Kill Me Faster]

Wtf I 100%ed the first two games and am in the second world of the third and I JUST learned there is a button to make the dragonfly point to the gems. Aside from a couple levels I never had any real issue getting every item but man, there was that damn underwater level that took me almost an hour to find the last 2 gems lol. WHY WAS THERE NO TUTORIAL THAT EXPLAINED THIS? lol

That happened to me 15 years ago when playing spyro 2. I discovered that for the last 2 gems. I then played spyro 1 swearing not to make the same mistake... but the first game didnt have that feature.

This was never a thing in the original Spyro 1, only to be added in the Reignited Trilogy version. The original PS1 version of Spyro 2 always had this feature available right from the start, it just never told you about it outside of the instruction manual.

There actually was a tutorial that explained how to use the ability in the original PS1 version of Spyro 3. In that game, the gem finder was an unlockable upgrade you earned after beating the second Sparx level, and Zoe would explain how it works when you return to the home world.

They removed the upgrade in the Reignited Trilogy version, but kept it in the game as a permanent feature available right from the start, which honestly makes no sense to me since now the second Sparx level doesn't give you a single upgrade at all while the other ones do, and unlike the PS1 original, it also doesn't tell you how to use it unless you go into the controls menu.

I never learned until recently either. Haha
