Ripto's Arena

Ripto's Arena is the last Boss Realm in Spyro 2. It is the site where Spyro battles Ripto, in addition to a Robot Gulp and then a giant bird, summoned by Ripto later in the battle to assist him.

Battle

The first stage of the battle is between Spyro and Ripto and takes place on the arena floor on top of the castle of Winter Tundra. Spyro must dodge Ripto's attacks while collecting orbs before he does. When Spyro collects three orbs he can use a special attack, which damages Ripto.

The second stage of the battle is basically the same except this time Ripto is on Robot Gulp and he is slightly harder.

After this, Spyro moves onto the final stage of the battle.  Ripto destroys the arena floor, and Spyro must fight Ripto as he flies on the back of a giant bird. Spyro defeats Ripto with his superflame powerup.

Orb Types

Spyro must collect three orbs before he can use them to attack.  The type of attack Spyro uses depends on the type of the last of the three orbs he collects.

The Orb Effects for Spyro

• Red Orb: Spit fire
• Blue Orb: Super-charge
• Green Orb: Spit a green energy ball

The Orb Effects for Ripto

• Red Orb: Spit red electricity (from Ripto's scepter)
• Blue Orb: Super-run
• Green Orb: Spit a green energy ball (from Ripto's scepter)

The Orb effect for Robot Gulp

• Red Orb: Spit fire with a worm shape
• Blue Orb: Light-blue electricity ball (out of Gulp's horns)
• Green Orb: Laser-vision

Trivia

• Hunter uses his wings to fly around the area and drop orbs. After the Gulp Bot explodes, however, he is seen hitting the wall of the arena and falling into the lava. Apparently, he somehow survives.
• During the Robot Gulp fight, if you make him swallow a red orb last, he will shoot a blas of worm-shaped fire. If, during this, Spyro manages to approach Gulp and then move swiftly to the side, the fire will hit Robot Gulp and it will take damage. (The same thing can be done against the real Gulp.)
