Complete the game a 100%
To unlock this achievement you need to complete the game 100%. That means all collectables, Armor, Red Health/Green Mana/Light Blue XP Crystals,
Kill all 8 Elites and complete every level. If you are stuck on something or cant find it then use the video guide to help you in your journey. I used the guide and found everything with no effort. When you beat the final boss if you have collected everything then you will unlock the achievement when the cut-scene starts.
(Refer to the video walkthrough link at the top of the guide.)
Entrepreneur - 50 points
Upgrade all your elements to Max Level
Use the Max XP cheat to max out your upgrades above. Once you enter the cheat,
hit the BACK button and you will get a pop up message on the game screen saying
"You have gathered enough experience to upgrade your Abilities" etc.
Once you see this you know the cheat worked, so now press pause and select Elements. You should now have a heap of experience points so just hold the A button and upgrade all of Spyro's upgrade slots. Now press LT to swap to Cynder and do the same as you did with Spyro. Once all the slots are upgraded the achievement will pop.
Buddy System - 50 points
Complete the game with at least 90% of the time in 2 Players Mode
To unlock this achievement you need to complete at leased 90% of the time in co-op (off-line 2 player).
What I'm going to do is go through and 100% the game on single player. Then when you have all your achievements and only this 1 left, do a speed run with a partner and just run through the game. Again use the cheats to make it a bit faster and the walkthrough, this way you are not fighting with the second player when you both try to walk in the opposite direction.
One Large Step - 15 points
Complete one Armor Set
I got this after closing the gate in Dragon City. You have to collect armor pieces which are found in metal chests throughout the game. Just complete one set (a straight line from top to bottom) on either character and the achievement is yours.
(Note that the All Elemental upgrades cheat DOES NOT unlock this achievement and therefore was not included in this guide.)
(Refer to Armory for further tips)
Armory - 15 points
Complete all Armor Sets
To unlock this you need to collect all 18 pieces of armor for both Cynder and Spyro. The armor is hidden in metal chests so use the video walkthrough by DreadArkive found on Youtube to find them all. The last piece will be in the level Burned Lands and will unlock after the little cut-scene.
(Note that the All Elemental upgrades cheat DOES NOT unlock this achievement and therefore was not included in this guide.)
(Refer to the video walkthrough link at the top of the guide.)
Bodyguard - 5 points
Bring the Artilleryman back to his catapult in less than 5 minutes
To unlock this achievement you need to bring the Artilleryman back to the catapult within 5 mins. Basically there is a cut-scene where he gets smashed out of his seat by a flaming boulder. If you are using the cheats then this wont be a problem, just spam your Element Powers. When you get him back in the catapult the achievement will unlock.
Grublin Slayer - 15 points
Kill 225 Grublins
To unlock this achievement you need to kill 225 Grublins.
(Refer to Grublin Bane for further tips.)
Grublin Bane - 20 points
Kill 450 Grublins
To unlock these achievements you have to kill 225/450 Grublins. Grublins are the smaller enemies at the start of the game and shouldn't give you much of a problem, especially if you are using the cheats. Just keep killing the little fellers until the achievement unlocks. Change up the attacks to help with some of the other Element achievements.
If you really want to get the achievement then you can farm them on the City of Warfang level where you have to defend the catapult. Just let the catapult get smashed and it will restart you at your last checkpoint.
Orc Slayer - 15 points
Kill 100 Orcs
To unlock this achievement you need to kill 100 Orcs.
(Refer to Orc Demolisher for further tips.)
Orc Demolisher - 20 points
Kill 200 Orcs
To unlock these achievements you need to kill 100/200 Orcs. Orcs are the red and black enemies with the axes. If you haven't got these before the end of the game then you can farm these at the end of the Dragon City level when you are trying to reach Golem. Another good spot is on Burned Lands, there are plenty of Orcs on this level so you shouldn't have a problem unlocking these achievements.
Last Rampart - 5 points
Close Warfang Gate without dying once
To unlock this achievement you must complete the last chapter of the Dragon City level without dying. Simply use the above cheats and this will unlock without any problem.
A nice hiding spot just in case is when you are about to battle the Troll, look to the upper left corner and you will see a crystal behind a caged door. Use Cynders Shower Power to go under the metal gate and activate the switch with the B button. Just wait a few mins and you will see the Trolls arms at the door so now is the time to start blasting away. Use Spyro's Ice Element until the Troll is dead. Now you have to close the big golden door to finish the level. Once the cut-scene appears the achievement will unlock.
Troll Slayer - 10 points
Kill 10 Trolls
To unlock this you need to kill 10 Trolls.I didnt get this on my first play through but if you load up a stage with trolls (like Burning Lands) and just kill them until the achievement unlocks.
Wyvern Slayer - 5 points
Kill 45 Wyverns
To unlock this achievement you need to kill 45 Wyverns. I myself didn't get this on my first playthrough. Wyverns are the orange flying dragon looking enemy that you first encounter on the Valley of Avalar level when you have to protect the huts.
Just reload the level and keep farming kills until you get the achievement. Another good spot is on the Burning Lands level, when you fly around the flowing lava they seem to come out to attack you. Use Cynders Poison Element and keep pressing RB . Kill 45 of them and the achievement is yours.
Dark Knight - 10 points
Kill 70 Shadows
To unlock this achievement you need to kill 70 Shadows. These are skeleton looking enemy with green eyes. You shouldn't have to much trouble with these guys and if you are using the cheats then it will be a breeze. Just kill 70 of them to unlock the achievement. I got this on the Underground Ruins level after you activate the switch to lower the platform, there is plenty in that level.
Elitist - 15 points
Upgrade one element to Max Level
Use the Max XP cheat above to max out your upgrades. Once you enter the cheat,
hit the BACK button and you will get a pop up message on the game screen saying "You have gathered enough experience to upgrade your Abilities" etc...
Once you see this you know the cheat worked so now press the START and select
Elements. You should have a heap of experience points so just upgrade (hold the A button) one of the Elements until the achievement pops.
Dragon Spirit - 25 points
Find all Elemental Upgrades
To unlock this achievement you need to collect all the GREEN Mana Crystals in the game. This can take a while to do if you haven't got a walkthrough so I suggest you check the video walkthrough above to get them. The last green crystal will be in the Floating Islands level. Collect them all to unlock the achievement, there are 20 in total.
(Refer to the video walkthrough link at the top of the guide.)
Elite Destroyer - 15 points
Kill all Elite Enemies
To unlock this you have to find and kill every Elite enemy in the game. The Elites are recognized because they have a coloured mask over their face. The colour represents what Element you need to use to knock off his mask before you can kill him. Use the video walkthrough link to find and kill all the Elites to unlock this achievement. The last Elite is on the Floating Islands level, there are 8 in total.
Grappler - 5 points
Perform 100 Enemy Grabs
To unlock this achievement you need to do 100 enemy grabs. I got this on the Valley of Avalar level where we had to stop them from burning down the houses (wooden huts). I just kept mashing the B every time I was next to an enemy. Rinse and repeat 100 times to unlock this achievement.
Air Grappler - 5 points
Perform 100 Enemy Air Grabs
This achievement is a little misleading, it states that you need to grab an enemy while it's in the air 100 times and nothing more. To unlock this you in fact need to also kill the enemy with an attack.
Hit the A button to jump in the air then while in the air hit the B button. Once you grab the enemy while in the air still, quickly tap the A button to do an attack, rinse and repeat 100 times to unlock this achievement.
Juggler - 10 points
Throw 200 Enemies into the Air
Again this achievement is a little misleading like Air Grappler with its description. It states that you need to throw 200 enemies into the air, nothing more, nothing less. After using Cynders Shadow Power many many times, the achievement just wasn't unlocking. The idea is you have to kill the enemy also, just like Air Grappler. So to get this achievement you need to use Cynders Shadow Element when you are in a group of enemies.
Press down the RT and when you release the trigger it will send your enemies into the air (now here's the trick) When they are in the air, push the A button to jump and then hit the B button to grab them. Once you have grabbed the enemy push the A button to make Cynder lunge at the ground with a ground pound killing the enemy. Do this to 200 enemies and the achievement will unlock.
(Refer to Orc Demolisher for further tips.)
Combo Maker - 5 points
Perform a 70 hit Combo string
Although this may sound like a lot it wasn't hard to get at all. At the start of the game after the cut-scene you will start the game and be linked with another dragon via an electric leash. Enemies will start to come at you both so just keep mashing the X button and it should unlock just before the game tells you about your next move.
(Refer to Combo Master for further tips)
Combo Master - 5 points
Perform a 125 hit Combo string
I got this one pretty easy on the first stage when you fight Golem. Use the above cheats and just use Cynders Wind attack. Hold the RB and with the LS spin it in a circle. This will collect the enemies around you and give you a massive combo. It should unlock before Golem starts his hand attack.
Button Smasher - 10 points
Perform a 300 hit Combo string
Again use the cheats above to make this a lot easier. Use Cynders wind attack and just spam the RB for massive combo's when you are in a group of enemies. A good place to do this is on Valley of Avalar After you defend the huts you get to explore the land.
Looking out away from the huts to your left high up on the cliffs is the Elite Enemy. Knock his mask off and then just spam the RB and it will unlock with no effort. I managed to max out here with a 999 combo so just keep going till you get to 300 then stop to get your achievement then kill him off.
Unattainable - 10 points
Dodge all Golem attacks in Chamber of Retribution
I got this one after the first fight with Golem. Basically you have to get through the fight without being hit. Just dodge his attacks and it should unlock before the cut-scene. A good place to stay is on the left hand side when he is attacking with his hand. You can drop down to the ledge below and he wont hit you. Attack his hand until you get the cut-scene. Also using the cheats will insure that it unlocks as the game doesn't register that you have been hit, even if you do.
Dragon Heart - 25 points
Find all Health Upgrades
For this you need to find every RED Health Crystal in the game, there are 20 in total. This can take a while to do if you haven't got a walkthrough. I suggest you check the video walkthrough above to get them. The last red crystal will be in the Floating Islands level. Collect them all to unlock the achievement.
(Refer to the video walkthrough link at the top of the guide.)
Berserker - 5 points
Launch 20 Fury attacks
To unlock this achievement you need to fill your Fury meter (Purple meter on the top/middle of your screen) and perform 20 Fury attacks. To activate a Fury attack you have to press the X and Y buttons at the same time. This will unleash the Dragons Fury Power for about 20 sec's. The best way to get this is use the cheats and do it on the Burning Lands with the Orcs. Just use Cynders Wind Element and hold the RB to rack up some massive combo's and fill your Fury Meter quickly.
Savior - 5 points
Protect all the Cheetah's houses in the village
When you start the Valley of Avalar level you have to protect Cheetah's wooden huts without any being destroyed by the enemy. Use the cheats above and just use Cynders Wind attack. Sit in front of the first hut and hold down the RB until the cut-scene,rinse and repeat and the achievement will unlock.
Master of Fire - 5 points
Eliminate 75 Enemies with a Fire attack
To unlock this achievement you need to kill 75 enemies with Spyros Fire attack. If you are using the cheats then this will come with no problem. Just hold down the RT with the Fire Element selected and kill kill kill.

RT with the Fear Element selected and kill kill kill.

Army Slayer - 20 points
Kill 1000 Enemies

(Refer to Orc Demolisher for further tips.)
Dragon Mind - 25 points
Find all XP Crystals
To unlock this achievement you need to collect all 99 LIGHT BLUE XP Crystals. This can take a while to do if you haven't got a walkthrough so I suggest you check the video walkthrough above to get them. The last light blue crystal will be in the Floating Islands level.

(Refer to the video walkthrough link at the top of the guide.)
Unlocked Bonus - 40 points
Unlocked all Bonus galleries

Golem Wrecker - 30 points
Kill the Golem without dying once
To unlock this achievement you need to kill Golem without dying. This may sound hard but even without the cheats he is pretty easy to beat. Just keep hitting his hand when he rests it on the ground and you will eventually get the chance to take him out once and for all. I got this at the end of the Dragon City level.
Dragon Assassin - 40 points
Kill Malefor without dying once
To unlock this achievement you need to beat the last boss, Malefor without dying. Again just use the cheats and you will have no problem unlocking this achievement. The achievement should unlock just before the cut-scene starts after you defeat Malefor.
