Phase 1: Riding Gulp

Ripto will start by riding Gulp. Gulp will stomp around the arena, and Ripto will shoot fireballs. Similar to the Gulp fight, Ripto will drop various projectiles:

  • Green Bombs: Flame these to damage Gulp.
  • Blue Orbs: Charge into these to send them back at Gulp.
  • Superflame Power-up: Grab these for powerful attacks.
Focus on hitting Gulp with the projectiles. After enough hits, Gulp will be defeated, and Ripto will be knocked off.

Phase 2: Riding Robo-Gulp

Ripto will then summon a robotic version of Gulp, which is more agile and has a laser attack. Ripto will continue to drop projectiles, but now there will also be:

  • Red Bombs: Avoid these.
  • Supercharge Power-up: Grab this and use it to charge into Robo-Gulp for massive damage.
Focus on using the Supercharge power-up to hit Robo-Gulp. Avoid his laser and stomps. After enough hits, Robo-Gulp will be destroyed.

Phase 3: Ripto on Foot

Ripto will now be on foot, flying around the arena on his scepter. He will shoot fireballs and occasionally summon small Rhynocs. The arena will have power-up gates for Superflame and Supercharge. You need to use these power-ups strategically:

  • Superflame: Use this to hit Ripto when he's flying.
  • Supercharge: Use this to hit Ripto when he lands or is close to the ground.

Ripto will also occasionally summon a large, invincible orb that chases Spyro. You need to lead this orb into a Supercharge gate to destroy it. Keep hitting Ripto with Superflame and Supercharge attacks until his health is depleted. This phase requires quick reflexes and good timing with the power-ups.

Tips: Always keep moving. Prioritize grabbing power-ups. Learn Ripto's attack patterns. The final phase is a test of endurance and strategic power-up usage. After defeating Ripto, you'll save Avalar and complete the main story!
