The Artisans Homeworld is the first homeworld in Spyro the Dragon and its remake in the Spyro Reignited Trilogy. The Artisans dragons are tranquil and take a calmer approach to most problems. The world consists of a pleasant countryside and ornate castles.
Being that there are no enemies that try to attack Spyro, Artisans is the easiest homeworld in the game. This world has the least amount of gems in the game at one hundred (100), but it compensates with its large amount of dragons at four (4).
The Artisans Homeworld is Spyro's lush, green homeworld. The residents pride themselves in their homes, which is a vast meadow of healthy green grass, several tall trees, and gentle waterfalls feeding into many different ponds in the area. Statues and intricate portals dot the landscape, as well as some marble hallways running through the tall hills. Homes here are made up of small castles, large stone buildings, and the occasional high towers. Flower gardens can be found among the gem-encrusted stone walls, as well as within a few private meadows. Up above, the sky is always blue, with a small bit of pink on the horizon.
Portals[]
Each homeworld has specially designed portals. The portals in the Artisan home are simple arches crafted out of stone, like the arch of a bridge. There is a large gem at the top of the arch. It is suggested that the dragons of the world created them.
Race[]
For a special race held by CTR, a news channel in Crash Bandicoot's realm, Artisans was briefly rebuilt beautifully with a race track across the landscape decorated with stone dragon-statues and special portals with a direct link to Magic Crafters, as well as the Dark Hollow realm of Artisans. The main castle was also opened for the event. This particular race track is called the Spyro Circuit.

The Artisan dragons are extremely peaceful and tranquil, taking a calmer approach to their problems (up until Gnasty Gnorc arrived). They provide other dragons with artifacts of culture and beauty in the forms of songs, sculptures, and poetry. The dragons of the Artisans realm are social, smart, and very civilized, and their home is still the most peaceful, even after Gnasty's invasion. They love nothing more than to frolic with the other dragons and create beautiful masterpieces.[1]
The leader of the Artisans, Nestor, is the first and nearest dragon to Spyro, and he explains the main objective of the homeworld in order to proceed to the next. Spyro himself is part of the Artisan dragon species.
In Reignited, the Artisan dragons are typically depicted as having traditionally medieval and Renaissance-era professions such as carpenters, painters, clockmakers, sculptors, bards, shepherds, bartenders, bakers, and butchers. Dark Hollow is home to professions such as scribes, librarians, and actors, indicating a literary division of the artisan dragons.
Legend has it that a strange and wonderful world is hidden on the other side of this wall. It is a mysterious place where young dragons must go to become adults.
From the top of the hill, take a running start and make a big jump! Then, at the peal of that jump, jump again! This should help you get the treasure chest. Keep trying until you can pull it off.
Press the ∆ Button once to move the camera behind Spyro. Press it again, hold it down, and move the directional pad to look around while staying in place.
The four pillars are at different heights. When climbing up places like this, use the L2 and R2 Buttons to rotate the camera and decide where you should go next before you jump.
Follow the stone road underfoot and you'll come to the beach. There you'll find the Balloonist, whose travels around the world have taught him many things. He'll tell you what to do next.
Before you start your adventure, you should take a look around to get a solid idea of what's there. The enemies here are a weak bunch and won't attack you, so you can practice all kinds of actions.
Walkthrough[]
Spyro the Dragon 120% Walkthrough - 1 - Artisans Homeworld
Spyro himself is part of the Artisan dragon species, as Artisans is his homeworld and place of birth. In the credits of the Spyro Reignited Trilogy, Spyro is seen participating in activities and professions of his Artisan foster fathers searching for his 'artistic voice'.[2]
The official backstory for Spyro in the Japanese version of the game explains that both Spyro and Sparx's eggs were recovered from egg thieves, though the dragons expressed confusion surrounding the origin of the eggs.

There are some major differences in the two earliest demo versions when compared to the final game. Firstly, the background music is different, playing the title theme instead. All of the Artisans dragons use different cutscenes and have some slightly different dialogue and voice acting. Argus' cutscene is in the code and can be reactivated by hacking, but it cannot be seen as his dragon pad has been removed from the demo versions, presumably to avoid confusing the player, as Toasty is inaccessible. Town Square and Sunny Flight are also inaccessible, and the balloonist says that he can't take you to the other worlds until the full game is released (the exact wording changes between the two demos). Some of the enemies also make a different sound when hit.
In the three later demos - which were all built after the game was finished - the portal normally linked to Stone Hill instead takes the player to Town Square. Only Town Square and Sunny Flight are accessible, but the sound emitted by portals can still be heard when the player is close to where they normally are.
In all demo versions, the player can use collision glitches to get Spyro inside the dragon head containing Toasty's portal. In the earlier demos, the portal is blocked off and inaccessible, while in the later ones it can be entered. Entering the portal causes the game to softlock, as Spyro never reaches the level.
After reaching the Gnasty's Loot exit vortex and the 120% completion, Spyro will magically transport back in the Artisan Homeworld after the post-credit staff roll.
A door leading into the main Artisans castle was in an early version of the game but was removed entirely in later builds. This door was later added in the Spyro Reignited Trilogy.[3]
The stones at the waterfall don't light up till you jump on all of them and unlock Sunny Flight. However, if you save the stones till after you save Lucas in Wizard Peak, when you go back and jump on the stones, they light up and give off a tone that rises in pitch with every stone you jump. Since players can already figure out the stones on their own for the first time, the Spyro Reignited Trilogy had the stones glow and make a noise without talking to Lucas.
Reignited Trilogy[]
The mysterious door - which first appeared in early versions of the original game - was added to the main castle in the central area in Reignited. The door can be charged into, but it won't budge. In the cover art of the Reignited Trilogy, the door is seen open with light coming from within the castle.
Unusually for a first homeworld in a game, Spyro can die in this homeworld by drowning, for example in the pool near the entrance to Sunny Flight.
Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled[]
In the Artisans part of Spyro Circuit, the door to the main castle opens at the beginning of the race to reveal a library similar to Dark Hollow's in the Reignited Trilogy.
