The Artisans World, the starting hub in the original Spyro the Dragon, is a delightful place to learn the ropes. But where is the fourth dragon hiding in this initial realm? The answer is that there isn’t a fourth dragon in the Artisans homeworld that you directly rescue. The Artisans homeworld only contains three dragons you can find and liberate from their crystal prisons. It is easy to be confused because each level has four dragons in that world, but you only save three in the hub world. So you can go explore!

While there are only three dragons to actually rescue in the Artisans hub world, misunderstanding can arise due to the way information is often presented. It’s easy to conflate the overall structure of the game, where each world features multiple levels, and each level having a certain amount of dragons, with the homeworld itself.
The Actual Dragons of Artisans Homeworld
So, who are the three dragons you do rescue in the Artisans hub? Let’s recap:
- Argus: Found just behind the portal to Stone Hill, in front of the dragon head.
- Nestor: Located near the starting area, a central figure welcoming Spyro to his quest.
- Gildas: Positioned near the portal leading to Dark Hollow.
These three dragons are crucial to setting the stage for Spyro’s adventure, offering guidance and setting the narrative in motion.
