Here it is: the battle with Ripto!
Ripto's Arena
First Form
Well, here were are.
You'll be collecting orbs and using the power-ups to do as much damage on Ripto as you can. Grab three orbs before Ripto can and you'll be able to make Ritpo run away from you like the little coward he is!
The red ones give you Superflame, the blue ones give you Supercharge, and the green ones give you what look like some sort of bio-bomb that you can spit out like a grenade and cause a small explosion. You don't have to grab three of the same color, just grab three as soon as possible. The color of the last one of the three you pick will dictate which power-up you'll have for a few seconds. Avoid his scepter shots, grab orbs, and chase after him with whatever you have and do as much damage as possible.
In case you need health, there will be sheep in the arena every so often. Also, if you die at any point in the battle, you start back at the first form. Lame.
In case Ripto gets three orbs, red gives him a few red shockwaves similar to the Crush battle, blue gives him an ice shield that damages you if you touch him, and green gives him a bunch of green fireballs similar to Gulp.
Second Form
When his health runs out, he'll summon a mechanical version of Gulp and ride on top of it. The battle is still the same, even though Gulp can cover more ground.
The Ripto power-ups are different this time. Red shoots out a homing fire-worm by which the only means of escape is to send it towards Robo-Gulp. Blue shoots some ice balls, while green gives the Robo-Gulp some eye lasers you'll have to jump over to avoid.
Third Form
All the orbs turn gold when they come out of Robo-Gulp after it blows up. Ripto uses his scepter to turn one into a giant bird, while Spyro collects one and instantly starts flying. Also, the floor turns into lava as Ripto tries to shoot at you while you're doing loops in the cutscene. No health replenishment for you!
Keep an eye on Ripto and shot at him as much as you can. Avoid his green fireballs.
Every once in a while, he'll fly behind the entrance part of the wall to temporarily avoid you. Interestingly enough, you can wait for him to come back out from the other side and pound him.
When you empty his health meter, Ripto falls into the lava below. You did it!
When you make it out of Ripto's Arena, Elora and friends will thank you for saving Avalar. Also, Hunter actually does something for once...he returns all the money that Moneybags blackmailed you out of during the game, and if you collected all the gems, you'll end up with 10,000. (For the record, you spent 5200 on Moneybag's services, so if you collected all the gems before you beat Ripto and paid Moneybags for every service he has, you'll have 4800 before you beat Ripto.)
You'll also finally end up at Dragon Shores after the credits roll.
Dragon Shores
Now that we're here, it's time for fun and games. If you get ten tokens, you can watch any of the cutscenes in the game whenever you feel like it.
The first thing covered here is the tunnel of love. It only nets you one token, but it's still hilarious to either see who you get paired up or see Spyro still being alone on the boat. foreveralone.jpg
The target practice area gives you three more. Here, you have to hit all the targets with the Superflame power-up before the timer on it runs out.
There is also the dunking booth. You can get three tokens from this one easy. Just pick up the baseball, use Triangle to aim, and shoot. Just talk to the showman and he'll give you a baseball.
