The in-game tool that tracks completion in Spyro: Year of the Dragon is the Atlas.
The Atlas functions as the game’s progress overview. It records collected Gems and recovered dragon eggs, allowing players to see how much of the adventure they have completed and which objectives remain unfinished. This is especially useful because Year of the Dragon spreads its challenges across multiple worlds, side areas, critter sections, and minigames.
The game’s main quest involves recovering dragon eggs stolen from the Dragon Realms. Spyro also explores Forgotten Realms, defeats Rhynocs, gathers Gems, and unlocks playable critters such as Sheila, Sergeant Byrd, Bentley, and Agent 9. The Atlas helps organize that broad checklist rather than serving as a narrative journal or directional compass.
The Atlas is easy to confuse with a Guidebook because earlier Spyro games use guidebook-style menus and collectible summaries. In Year of the Dragon, however, Atlas is the name associated with tracking completion and remaining objectives. The game was later remade in the 2018 Spyro Reignited Trilogy.
