How to Do Pearl 5 on The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning

"The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning" for the Nintendo DS has a special puzzle feature that other console's versions of this game do not. As you travel throughout the game, Spyro encounters many of these puzzles, and the game teaches how to use different types of mirrors to light up crystals and complete each puzzle. Pearl 5 is located in the "Concurrent Skies" level, and you must complete it in order to lower one of the stage's many barriers.

Instructions

- 1
  Place one of your three triangle-shaped box mirrors on the square that is two spaces to the right of and four spaces below the left light source. Box mirrors allow the light to pass through them in multiple directions. Make the tip of the triangle face right to cause the bottom-right light source to illuminate both a crystal and a reflective mirror.
- 2
  Place your second box mirror six spaces to the right of the left light source. Make its light-receiving tip face left.
- 3
  Place your final box mirror three spaces to the left of the upper-right light source. Make this triangle face right.
- 4
  Place one of your two diagonal reflective mirrors five spaces below the non-illuminated crystal that is farther to the left. Rotate it left or right until the light reflects upward and illuminates the crystal.
- 5
  Place the final reflective mirror 13 spaces below the final light that is still darkened. You can tell where this space is more easily by looking for the red light that goes horizontally across that row of spaces. Rotate the mirror until the light reflects upward, illuminating the final crystal. The puzzle is completed, and the barrier will lower momentarily.
