The swimming controls are better in the original game ironically. But even these controls are not terrible at all, people are just not used to them i guess 🤷♂️, either that or just impatient and bad at games.
I think the problem with this level is that it's just so goddamn bland. None of the landmarks stand out, so it's just endless blue-grey tunnels with non-descript caves in-between, which is probably why they had to put giant numbers on the towers so you could tell if you've been there or not.
For some reason, this level scared me as a child, and it makes me feel uneasy now. All that open underwater space makes me imagine some evil Elder God hiding in plain sight.
Even in Spyro, underwater levels are genuinely awful, this one included. Not only are the controls abysmal, but the layout of the level is incredibly confusing as well. At least the music is great though. Anyways, I can’t thank ya enough for this super helpful guide.👍🏽
Heh, the people who thought this was hard need to go play Crash 4. Hard? No. Tedious? I guess. The most difficult part was figuring out there was that area in the ceiling.
At 5:28 you see the face of Death. Outside of shark bait though, not sure why everyone has their pants in a twist on this level. It's not that bloody hard.
Because I think it was fun and the controls aren't bad IMHO. I loved it in the original game as well. Also, I love the ocean and the creatures that live in it so I'm pretty much drawn to water levels in any game.
I love this level, it's my favorite of the entire game, and the soundtrack is so good. When I accidentally discovered the area on the surface as a kid, it was a real blast. Jeez, I loved it.
I feel like the biggest problem for me is when I’m trying to find the gems and stuff even if I use sparks it doesn’t help because he’s just pointing up so now I’m having to watch through this video to see if there’s a secret passage
Roberto 25PL I’m probably late, but I’d wait until you get the infinite fireball power after 100%, then come back and find all the seaweed. There’s none in the 6 towers. Don’t worry
Please, for the love of God, don't let the sharks in your face. Almost dropped my phone at that. Submechinaphobia doesn't make this friendly. I also thought the Southside portion was a fever dream¡
What is with the people complainging about the swimming in this level? Are you guys seriously *that* terrible? Honestly, as far as swimming goes in video games, these are probably some of the best controls you'll ever find; Both in the Original and the Remake.
Gems end at 8:21. Orbs begin at 8:40
YOU'RE THE HERO WE NEED!
finally, i dont give a fuck about the gems
Cheers back fella, I'm on a quest finding 10 more worth of gems!
@@interstellargalactic5959 have you found them yet?
@@gabzOG Yes, indeed, one year later, finally, thanks for asking.
This level was twice as long as it needed to be
Which means it was twice as good…!
@@TomasUjhelyinah this is easily the worst level in Spyro 2
Possibly my least favorite Spyro Level. Terrible controls
Passive camera mode helps
Or is it active? Idk. One of them is way better than the other for swimming though.
I don’t like this level either, but it’s nowhere near as bad as treetops from the first game in my opinion. Absolutely despised that level.

It's probably the only level where the control somehow became worse.

Underwater levels are the WORST great guide though very helpful
The only and I mean the ONLY water level in the entire trilogy that is actually good is seashell shores in Spyro 3
@@robloziscool09 I completely agree, that level so much fun
Whoever put those gems at 4:43 deserves a slap to the face
Thanks, those were the gems I was missing... I swear I had already checked there but I guess not
Agreed
AAA TY IVE VEEN LOOK FOR THOSE GEM FORWVER
no fr cause who would’ve thought to look up there!!😂
TY!! 😍🥰🥳
This level is the worst. Made me feel so sick. The worst. Hello motion sickness 🤮
Try doing it when you have morning sickness 24/7 lol
Gojira563 Incel
It took me way to long to figure out where that 3rd tower was.
me right now
For some reason, this level scared me as a child, and it makes me feel uneasy now. All that open underwater space makes me imagine some evil Elder God hiding in plain sight.

I could never do this level as a kid, those sharks terrified me. Welp, they still do.
beffle haha same! Glad I’m not the only one. I had to have my brother do that part in the old game.
@@rzum81 same here I still don’t want to go near them 💀
They’re metal sharks and they one shot you(eats you alive). Superflame is required.
Same
Saymmmmme
Ah... The origin of my fear of sharks. Man, I hated this level as a kid.
The controls aren't too bad after a gazillion times 😭
4:20 He is blazing some seaweed
Me1232 hahahahahahaha this is amazing
Couldnt for the life of me figure out why. Made me think I missed doing something in this game as a kid
Why is he doing that is there some kind of trophy or something
I have the switch version. It doesn't have trophies. I'm not mad about that
What a hearburning level in such a beautiful game, wow
Hated the sharks as a kid. Still do!
Hated water levels as a kid. Still do!

Anyways, I can’t thank ya enough for this super helpful guide.👍🏽
I 120% spyro, came onto this and wanted to never play again
The only problem I had with this level was not seeing the hole on the ceiling!
Hate so much water levels, thanks for the video. Couldn't even know about the "open sea" area
I enjoy water levels but this one was way too difficult for me
I did this blind and it took me 40 minutes complete
It’s so horrible controlling the water physics and I could not tell landmarks Apart
this level was so frustrating omg
All those metal underwater tunnels give me strong Super Mario 64 Dire Dire Docks vibes.
He should be a water dragon because how longer can hold his breath underwater for that long
Heh, the people who thought this was hard need to go play Crash 4. Hard? No. Tedious? I guess. The most difficult part was figuring out there was that area in the ceiling.
Is it open or do you need to do something to get it open? mine is sealed; :o
@@noyezz3690 Can you give me a timestamp? It's been way too long since I've played this.
4:42 hardest ones to find
Legend
Glitch for me; I got all seaweed but i didn't get the skill point, and I didn't die once in the stage. how?!
Me too! I was just about to comment about that
The open water section terrifies me... makes me feel uneasy...
Thanks for the guide, I had no idea where the orbs were.
At 5:28 you see the face of Death.
Outside of shark bait though, not sure why everyone has their pants in a twist on this level. It's not that bloody hard.
I hate this one cuz you swim and it sucks major balls
I actually love this level, it's my favourite out of the Spyro trilogy. I also appear to be one of the few that enjoy water levels in general.
But why?
Because I think it was fun and the controls aren't bad IMHO. I loved it in the original game as well. Also, I love the ocean and the creatures that live in it so I'm pretty much drawn to water levels in any game.
Mark Trigg I liked it a lot too. Had to come here to figure out how to get to the sharks before my fire meter ran out lol but still fun. And pretty!
Mark Trigg join the club we have a pool
I hate underwater levels with such a passion, thank you for this video
This level gives me anxiety, tbh especially when you get to the large open water
Then stay away from Man Eater
This level gives me extreme simulation sickness 🤢🤮
4:42 is what I missed. All but 10 xP -_- thank a bunch!
This freaking level really gives me so much angst 😭. If not for the cheat code I think I would have shamed my joy con ages ago
The only problem i had with this level is not finding ten gems😂
I love this level, it's my favorite of the entire game, and the soundtrack is so good. When I accidentally discovered the area on the surface as a kid, it was a real blast. Jeez, I loved it.
My favourite level in original Spyro 2 but in remaster level swim control is terrible. Huge disappointment. Much better in original than remaster.
I was going to say the opposite. The swim controls are so much more manageable now, the level plays so much more smoothly.
The swimming controls aren't that bad.... Thr camera can be quite the asshole tho
Anyone here playing on PC and having issues moving manta ray up or down?
Moneybags submarine interaction at 2:30
I LOVE YOU
Prefer flying goals than water
6:34 you're going outside, I don't know how to open that sealed sealing door. And I didn't see you open it, wth? :)
If you hold all 4 l and r buttons sparx will point towards the closest uncollected gems
I feel like the biggest problem for me is when I’m trying to find the gems and stuff even if I use sparks it doesn’t help because he’s just pointing up so now I’m having to watch through this video to see if there’s a secret passage
I did this one pretty easy thanks to this video thanks
Why tf did they decide to make the fucking water level one of the most open levels in the fucking game🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Great guide!
How can u get sparks to show where the gems are
Press down on the L3 pad
Thanks bro
@@captainds17 *button
David Kahl is that for ps controller or xbox?
Literally the most helpful comment 😪 i hate being stuck because I'm 1-10 gems short and have to hunt for them 🙏🙏 thank youuu
even with this guide i still physically cant jump out of the water onto the platforms like he does wtf
Thanks a lot
wait, how do you get the little map in the corner?
this game at 60fps would make it much nicer
The manta ray part is absolutely abyssmal and god awful. The controls are already bad, but the camera makes it even worse.
the worst level i hate it
I honestly don't like this level for one reason:
It's fucking boring
Am I the only one who thought about Bioshock whilst playing this level?
How do you get the talisman?
Bruh
4:07 in the video
What happens with all the purple coral if you get it
I got all the seaweed but I didn't get the skill point, does anyone know how I can fix it?
how to get the skill point?
Roberto 25PL I’m probably late, but I’d wait until you get the infinite fireball power after 100%, then come back and find all the seaweed. There’s none in the 6 towers. Don’t worry
It’s very long yet enjoyable
I feel like the difficulty scale is opposite what it should be.
Not until 6:52 AM
YOUR ARE A LIER AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
Getting the the seashorses out is awful. For some reason the doors aren’t blowing off
Coolbean94vevo are you doing it in order?
you have to do it order, 1 2 3 4 5 6 otherwise it wont work
4:57
I hate this stage
Every time I have to complete this stage. I dread it so much because it makes me feel so sick 🤢 worst stage of spyro!!!
This level is just ridiculous. Idk how this is a kids game!
I can't find any gems this level is so big
Please, for the love of God, don't let the sharks in your face. Almost dropped my phone at that. Submechinaphobia doesn't make this friendly. I also thought the Southside portion was a fever dream¡
They really fucked up the level design back then..
Algum br da like quem é e da like quem acha o spyro fofo
Worst level ever!!
Nothing compared to BS in spyro 1
This level isn't really that hard but the controls make me nauseous 😢
What is with the people complainging about the swimming in this level? Are you guys seriously *that* terrible? Honestly, as far as swimming goes in video games, these are probably some of the best controls you'll ever find; Both in the Original and the Remake.
DefinitelyNotaPervert you must not play many games if you think these are some of the best controls you’ll ever find 😂 🤦🏼♀️
Doesn't matter how well it's done. It's still unneeded and less fun then the standard gameplay.
i lost 10 gems i can't find them
On Xbox if you press the left toggle sparks will point to lost gems
I feel like this level is too damm long
Man I will say this new Spyro reignited, the second world/part of the game absolutely sucks
This is the worst level in the fucking world
Swimming controls are shite
This level is the worst of spyro 2. Spyro 2 has a lot of shitty levels to be honest. Spyro 1 is much more fun but a bit too easy
I hate this stage
