Metalhead (アイアン・ヘッド, Iron Head in Japanese) is a giant robot who is the boss of the Beast Makers world.

Metalhead was created by Gnasty Gnorc after his search for recruits to destroy Spyro after he froze all the dragons in crystal.

Boss Battle

He is encountered in the level Metalhead. Metalhead fights Spyro in two large chambers surrounded by swamp water and filled with poles that power Metalhead. Metalhead is too large for a charge attack and made of metal so a flame attack doesn't work. The only way to attack Metalhead is to attack the poles supplying him with power.

Metalhead will start shooting rays out of his arm or by throwing ape like monsters at Spyro, and when he does, make sure you're standing in front of one the poles. Get out of the way before the attack hits you, and the monster/ray will plunge into the pole and destroy it, Spyro can also destroy the poles himself by using his charge, unless they are being used at the time in which case Spyro will just be electrocuted. After destroying two rooms full of poles, Metalhead will be defeated.

Gems: 500

Dragons: 1

Most of the Gems are obvious and are right in front of you as you travel to the fort entrance and are on the platforms where the Bananaboys are thrown from by Metalhead, at the final, outside "Arena" after you defeat Metalhead, there is a stairway on your right-hand side of the door which you came from which has a key-chest on the top of the staircase, but the key isn't very easy to find so, go to the start of the level then go to the Swamp-water river then press the triangle button to look down then there should be a ledge/platform with a busted gate, jump down and go through the gate, look around and the key should be around there somewhere, and after you have found it then look for a whirlwind (DON'T go up the whirlwind until you are ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE that the key is not there) then you should be able to glide to the Gem-crates on the tower...afterwards, go back to the final arena where you faced Metalhead and go back up the staircase which i told you about at the start then go and unlock the chest.

If you followed it all then you should have all Gems in the level

P.S. It took me about 5 plays of the whole game to get and remember it because i haven't played it since 1999...
