Guide to defeating the Sorceress in Spyro: Year of the Dragon. Learn Agent 9's attacks, cannon strategies, and saucer combat to save the day.
Walkthrough
- 1Hunter's Pursuit: After finding the lighthouse door and supercharging, you'll trigger a cutscene where Hunter reveals he can fly. Chase after the UFO that stole an egg. You must fly through all the gas rings it emits without missing any. This requires high concentration and reaction time. Successfully completing this will cause the saucer to crash, yielding Egg 146.
- 2The Sorceress' Lair: After completing Hunter's Pursuit, return to Midnight Mountain. Glide to the Super Bonus Round portal, then glide back down near the Crystal Islands portal. Make your way to the white building between Desert Ruins and Haunted Tomb and enter. This is the final area where you battle the Sorceress.
Tips
- Sorceress Battle - Phase 1 (Agent 9): You start as Agent 9. The Sorceress has three main attacks: a shower of blue energy balls (dodge by charging), a sneaky fireball that attacks from behind (swerve while charging), and a magical green shield (stay away). To attack, charge around to stall her. Agent 9 will shoot down balloons holding transparent objects and sheep. Shoot the transparent objects to get on a cannon with 10 ammo. Aim carefully, as the cannon shoots upwards. About 5 hits are needed. The cannon disappears if you get hit, run out of ammo, or jump off.
- Sorceress Battle - Phase 2 (Mobile Cannons): After about 5 hits, Agent 9 will shoot down two mobile cannons similar to those in Haunted Tomb. Aim these directly at the Sorceress. You have about twenty chances to hit her with these.
- Sorceress Battle - Phase 3 (Saucer): Once the Sorceress is at 1/3 health, her attacks become more frequent and powerful. Agent 9 will then shoot down a saucer with unlimited superflame ammo. Fly around and target the Sorceress. Avoid flying too high, as she may shoot fireballs at you. Dive down to attack her, firing a final barrage of five fireballs to defeat her.
