Ranking Every Boss Battle In Spyro: Reignited Trilogy
3. Sorceress
The Sorceress is a great ending to Year Of The Dragon without being truly special enough to top the list. On a one off it probably just falls short of Ripto, even with the Reignited flight controls into the equation. However, the fact you get to fight her again in at the end of the Super Bonus Round manages to edge her back into medal contention.
In terms of her battle style, she’s probably the most intelligent Spyro faces. Her attacks predict where the player tries to escape to, and the usual method of simply charging around the arena is foolhardy against that tactic. The addition of tanks into the equation was risky, but at the same time very suited to Year Of The Dragon’s outside the box thinking. As the final fight in Reignited, there’s a nice sense of symmetry too; Spyro was originally conceived as a tank based game before the dragon took over.
The follow up fight in the Super Bonus Round had Spyro constantly in his flying laser blaster while the Sorceress darts around in hers. It’s a strange retcon of the game’s original ending but at least offers some good fun as a 100% reward.
