Like most new abilities in Spyro 2, climbing is obtained by speaking with Moneybags and paying him a certain amount of Gems. If you’re either a first-time Spyro player or don’t remember from way back when, here’s where to learn to climb in Spyro 2. Superflame and the Plasma Bombs are the most effective Orb attacks against him.The Spyro Reignited Trilogy is a gorgeous re-imagination of the original series, complete with stunning new graphics and some tweaks to its gameplay. Remember that when using Supercharge, it’s best to stand at Robot Gulp’s feet and tap the Charge button to Supercharge into him for a short burst, rather than holding it down and running in circles. However Ripto becomes a much better shot with his scepter, especially in Reignited: you'll need to be Charging and Jumping to have any chance of avoiding them, and you should stay far away at all times. Once Ripto moves on to Robot Gulp, you’ll find it much easier to hit him with any of the Orb attacks because of Gulp's enormous size. Supercharge is also quite difficult to work with in either version due to the way Ripto bounces to and fro whilst running away, and because of how hard it is to keep track of him. The Plasma Bombs in the PS1 version are a bit tricky because they arc in the air and explode, but in Reignited they're actually much worse because the blast radius is a lot smaller.


Of these Orb attacks, Superflame is the best because it travels along the ground, and thus is much more likely to hit Ripto. Charge away to a safe distance.įalling electricity balls.

After you take Ripto down the 70% health, he’ll summon a Robotic Gulp, who like before will eat the items in the arena to gain powerups as well.

Once you collect three, you’ll gain a Powerup based on the colour of the last Orb you picked up. Flaming or Charging Ripto won’t hurt him, but it will cause him to bounce back a bit, which is helpful to stop him grabbing an Orb, or if you're dashing past Ripto to grab an Orb behind him.Ībove you, Hunter will be flying about and dropping coloured Orbs that give both you and your opponent powerup effects, so it's a good idea to keep track of him so that you know where an Orb will drop. Ripto will fire plasma shots at you with his sceptre, so you’ll want to be charging and jumping to avoid getting hit. When you start the boss battle, it’ll be you against Ripto.
