For those of you who have got to the Cutscene where Ignitus dies, there is a surprising one after the credits, if you get there. Akso, if you got to the end cutscene where spyro sacrifices himself and cynder says "I love you", watch on! for more info go to my Official Guide to defeating Malefor:

Dont worry, they will!

He'll probably just get lost for a long time. I bet spyro and cynder name their kids after the GAURDIANS.

I wonder if
Spyro and Cynder ever see Sparx again.

#6531 supermalefor 15:13:58 31/12/2008
I wonder......What would Spyro and Cynder name their kid? And what would it look like? Then that would make Sparx the "uncle". Well i think Gaul is gay. I would say Malefor but if you say it to his face.....well, you know the rest.

Ya. This game had 11 SHORT levels!!! It takes me like 15 to 30 minutes getting past the 6th level! ( Hi supermalefor! I'm doing great! How about you?) And now it takes me 5 to 10 minutes to get past the 2nd level!
