Performing AARC in the Valley of Avalar.
The Air Attack Roll Cancel (AARC) is a glitch in The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon. It can be used to drastically increase Spyro or Cynder's air mobility in any place they can fly. This glitch can be performed on all console versions of the game, although the Wii is significantly harder due to motion controls being used for strong attacks and rolling.
Performing the Glitch
While flying, execute a strong attack (Y/Triangle) and roll forward (Left Bumper/L1) once you begin the spinning animation. The roll will propel you forward at an impressive rate, but your speed will reset to normal once the roll ends. To avoid losing speed, you can continuously roll in the same direction to retain your momentum.
Applications
AARC is an indispensable tool for traversing large open areas quickly. However, there are a few applications that one might not consider at first.
Valley of Avalar
- Can be used to skip the Cheetah Village fight by entering a checkpoint trigger near the center of the valley.
Ruins of Warfang
- Can be used to skip multiple sections on both the top and bottom levels.
The Dam
- Can be used to enter the elevator early, eliminating the need to raise the water level.
The Destroyer
- Can be used to get out of bounds and enter the loading trigger for the second area of the Destroyer early.
