Spyro Reignited: 8 Bosses We Can't Wait To Fight

8. Crush

Crush was the first boss of Spyro 2, and good indicator of what's to come in this sequel. His boss battle begins with a flashback that gives more detail on the story of Glimmer too, so fans are understandably excited not just to fight Crush, but to see this backstory in beautifully rendered HD as well.

As boss battles go, this one uses old tropes to great effect. As has been done in like likes of Batman Arkham and Tomb Raider, the key to defeating Crush is to enrage him rather than go toe to toe. Landing hits will make him stomp and clobber the ground with his club, sending an avalanche of rocks onto him to eat away at his health.

The basic idea of Crush getting various powerups depending on where he's standing is used by other Gateway To Glimmer bosses as well, with battles more varied this time around. Whether dodging voltage beams or fireballs, the player must stay far enough away to avoid them, but close enough to chase Crush down as he pounds to the next power pad.
