- “Will you escort me past those Earthshapers?”
- —Alchemist
The Alchemist is a Satyr who is encountered in Fracture Hills, a realm in Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!. He concocted a potion to cure Hunter's feet, which had been encased in a stone-like substance due to the Alchemist's failed experiment to turn the cheetah's boots to gold. As such, Spyro has to guide the Alchemist safely past the Earthshapers, and to where Hunter is.
Like the Professor, the Alchemist wears thick, coke bottle style glasses and appears to be quite nearsighted. This is further evidenced by the unorthodox, roundabout route he chooses for his path to Hunter, who happened to be in a cave only a few yards down from the one he is found in.
After completing the sidequest, if the Alchemist is talked to, he reveals he actually intended to turn Hunter's petrified boots to gold as originally planned.
Quotes[]
- "I've been experimenting with a new potion. I'd like to try it out but the Earthshapers have made going out a bit difficult. Could you kindly offer me an escort?"
- "Great! Just keep those Earthshapers away from me and I'll take this potion to Hunter."
- "Okay, I'll be waiting here, but Hunter will be very angry with me if I don't get this potion to him soon!"
- "Hmm, I really thought my potion would turn that rock into gold. Perhaps a touch more salt..."

Trivia[]
- If the Alchemist wasn't nearsighted, he would have taken a much easier path where you would only need to push one of the Earthshapers out of the way.
- Although he gives the player the orb challenge, he doesn't give out any orbs.
