Jacques is a jester-like fool who served as the penultimate boss in the original Spyro the Dragon game. He resided in Dream Weavers, in a nightmarish volcanic landscape that was populated by lava creatures. Spyro confronted Jacques, and fought him on a series of platforms that levitated above a volcanic crater. The young dragon was able to best Jaques, and leave his realm.

Strategy

Jacques mostly throws boxes at Spyro throughout the battle. As Spyro chases him, Jacques moves from one platform to the next until he reaches and stands on a dark pink box, where he'll stay put and continue throwing boxes. If Spyro flames him, he moves quickly to the next dark pink box (three in total) and repeats the same process. Once Jacques is flamed on the last pink box, he disappears and leaves four purple gems worth twenty-five each just near the exit vortex.

  • Jacques is similar to other Jack-in-the-Box themed video game bosses, such as Mad Jack in Donkey Kong 64.
  • In the June 15th Prototype of the game, Jacques throws boxes textured with a rainbow-colored design.[1]
  • Jacques is one of the two bosses of the game whose realm contains fodder, the other one of the two being Metalhead.
