Gulp
Phase 1: Projectile Barrage

Gulp will be on a higher ledge, and Ripto will be flying around, dropping various projectiles into the arena. These projectiles can be:

  • Green Bombs: Flame these to make them explode, damaging Gulp if he's nearby.
  • Red Bombs: These are dangerous and will explode on their own. Avoid them.
  • Rockets: Charge into these to send them flying back at Gulp.
  • Sheep: Charge into these to send them flying back at Gulp.
  • Superflame Power-up: Occasionally, Ripto will drop a Superflame power-up. Grab it and unleash a powerful flame attack on Gulp.
Your goal is to use the green bombs, rockets, and sheep to hit Gulp. He'll occasionally jump down to the main platform to try and stomp you. Avoid his stomps and continue using the projectiles. Hit him three times.

Phase 2: Increased Aggression

Gulp will become more aggressive, jumping down to the main platform more frequently and performing a ground pound attack. Ripto will also drop more projectiles, including more Superflame power-ups. Continue using the projectiles to hit Gulp. The Superflame is your most effective weapon here. Hit him three more times.

Phase 3: Final Stand

Gulp will be enraged and constantly on the main platform, trying to stomp you. Ripto will drop a continuous stream of Superflame power-ups. Grab them quickly and unleash a barrage of Superflame on Gulp until he's defeated.

Tips: Keep moving to avoid Gulp's stomps and Ripto's red bombs. Prioritize grabbing Superflame power-ups when they appear. The rockets and sheep are good for quick damage. After defeating Gulp, you'll receive an Orb and unlock access to Winter Tundra.
