Spyro Reignited: 8 Bosses We Can't Wait To Fight
6. Ripto
Obviously as the final boss of Spyro 2, many fans can't wait to challenge this boss again. All three games have their merits, but for a sizeable chunk of the fanbase, Gateway To Glimmer is the cream of the crop. It makes sense then that they're dying to match wits with the king of that castle.
Using orbs within the battle itself was a genuis way to link the entire storyline together. Charging arond the arena, you must beat Ripto to the lobbed in orbs. The first one to get three receives a certain powerup for a limited time. This offers some inventive options, as Spyro and Ripto's battle style must adapt to whatever power the third orb denotes.
It's let down purely because Ripto is a bit of an imbecile. His grating personality actually works for him in the rest of the game, making him a risable villain for us to boo. Here though, he's just frustrating. You want a test, but he makes things too easy. He waves his wand in the air pointlessly for a few seconds instead of just grabbing at the nearby orb, making it pitifully easy to pick his pocket.
