Orb #1: Cowlek Corral I
Difficulty: 3
The Challenge can be started by talking to Bo Peep directly under the building with the Return Home Portal in it. She asks you to return her five Cowleks (those funny spotted elephant-looking things) into the pen behind her. The first Cowlek be found nearby. A Cowlek can be moved by hitting it, but the method of hitting it will affect the arc it flies. Flaming gives a medium-length arc that’s of fair height, while a Charge will send them away on a long arc of short height. It’s also important to remember that Cowleks will in general walk directly away from Spyro. The second and third Cowleks can be found on the other side of this field area: use Flame to get the lower one up the steps.
The last two Cowleks can be found past the end of the tunnel on the other side of the area, where you do the Sowing Seeds Challenges. The first Cowlek can be found in the ravine where you first enter, while the other can be found in the spot where you originally talked to the Professor. To get the Cowleks across the ravine, you’ll have to Charge them or they won’t make it. Get them both back into Bo Peep’s pen for the Orb!

Orb #2: Cowlek Corral II
| Difficulty: 3 |
| Climbing Required |
This Challenge asks you to find two more Cowleks to total seven. These two have been saved until last because you need Climbing to get to them. If you haven’t learnt how to Climb yet, you’ll need to return to the Autumn Plains Home and talk to Moneybags at the base of the ladder; he’ll teach you it for 500 Gems. You'll also need to kill at least two enemies to activate the Superflame Powerup
The Cowleks will be found at the bottom of the ravine that can be found by Climbing up the ladder close to Bo Peep's Cowlek pen. To get them out, you'll need to use Superflame to launch them up the high cliffs with short but very high arcs. Get them back into Bo Peep’s pen for an Orb!
Orb #3: Sowing Seeds I
Difficulty: 3
This Challenge can be found on the other side of the lower area where Bo Peep's pen is for the Cowlek Corral Challenges, directly below the exit of the tunnel that leads to the start of the upper area. Go through the tunnel there, Glide across the gap, then head foward and go up the steps on the right side and talk to the Professor.
As he explains, you’ll need to plant seeds to make your way to Juliet. Pick them up in Spyro’s mouth, aim them with Triangle/Y, then Spit them into the fertile soil spots nearby. What grows isn’t determined by the seed, but in fact the spot you plant them in. To turn a plant back into a seed, Flame the plant.
You actually don’t have the required seeds here when you initially start the Challenge. Pick up the seed the Professor gave you and leave via the steps you entered here with. Head forward a bit and then turn left down the steps into the ravine, where you should see some soil on your left; plant the seed here to reach a ledge with the second seed. Take it and the seed you planted to reach here back to the Professor's location.
Once you're back at the Professor, plant a seed in the soil patch closest to him, and another in the patch in the middle-most of the three patches. Use the two plants to reach a ledge with another seed. Glide back to the second plant and Aim to Spit into the third soil patch, growing a plant that will help you reach a new platform.

Grab the seed on the platform and then go to the left-hand edge. Look down from here and spot another patch of soil you can spit this seed into. Hop across the plant to reach the bridge with the two TNT Throwers here. Once you’ve dispatched them, pick up the seed and look down from the bridge to spot the patch of soil to plant this seed into. Glide to it, then Glide right to the ledge with Gems on it. Turn left and Glide to the next ledge, then across to the Professor (how did he get here???). He'll give you an Orb if you talk to him.
Orb #4: Sowing Seeds II
Difficulty: 4
This next section gets into outright puzzle territory. First, carry both seeds across the platform with the soil and to the area on the other side. Go back for the other one and cross back across the platform, then turn around and plant it into the soil to grow a plant. Take the other seed and go up to the top of the steps and jump across the plant you grew a second ago. On the other side, plant the second seed into the soil at the end of the walkway, then jump up the plant to “rescue” Juliet! You’ll get an Orb as your reward.
