PrinceWatercress plays Spyro the Dragon - Part 21 of 21

Here it is...the final battle with Gnasty Gnorc and beyond!

First | Previous

Gnasty Gnorc

This isn't going to be easy.

To lower the platforms that Gnasty Gnorc stands on and shoots at you with magical lasers from beyond your reach, you'll have to look around and chase after thieves. Every time you flame a thief (they're pretty fast), you'll get a key.

Of course, the first key isn't going to unlock the platform where Gnasty is standing. Instead, it opens a door. Open the door and you'll immediately find another thief. Get him and you'll get the key to the platform. Turns out it's a wall that acts as a stair when you use the key there. From there, charge after Gnasty, and flame him as soon as he turns around. After that first hit, you'll be chasing after him again.

This time around, you'll be gliding. Your gliding skills are going to be put to the ultimate test. Don't bother keeping up with him. Instead, just focus on jumping from one platform to the other, which all slowly move into the walls, and don't stop for even a moment. If they sink into the walls, you're boned. When you meet him one more time, flame him again. Gnasty Gnorc is gone in just a mere two hits.

Whatever you do, don't lose a life. Otherwise, you're starting this whole level over again. Once you beat Gnasty Gnorc, you'll get the credits.

Gnorc Gnexus

After beating Gnasty Gnorc, you'll return to Gnorc Gnexus. You'll find out that there is another trapped dragon in the center. Free him, and you'll find out that you'll have to have 100% in order to enter the final level. Of course, if you've collected everything up until this point, talking to him actually gives you 100%. 

Anyway, it's time to show this sucker off.

Gnasty's Loot

At first, it may look like you're stuck. But when you glide into the pool at the beginning of the level to kill yourself, you'll find out that Spyro can fly.

Yes. You can fly in this level.

You can only fly as high as you've gotten in the level, so use that as a hint about where you should go next.

As expected, you'll be beating up thieves in order to get the keys that open doors in this level. Some of them will be in planes that you will have to flame down in order to get the key. The second plane will take a little bit of work and some keen flying, but he can be taken down. Just keep flying, and he'll eventually mess up and make it easier for you to hit him.

Once you unlock the last door and collect the gem on the other side, you can fly anywhere in the level! All that's left is to look around the top of the level and flame all the firecrackers to open up the impenetrable metal chests! From there, find the exit and follow the path of gems to find the second half of all the treasure! Once you've found all 2000 gems, you've finally done it! You've beaten the game! Congratulations!
