Spike's Arena

Template:PlaceOriginal Spike's Arena is the Boss battle for Midday Gardens in Spyro: Year of the Dragon.

The Boss Battle

To attack Spike at the start, charge into the giant magma balls that Sgt. James Byrd drops and aim them at Spike.

After a while, Sgt. Byrd will start to drop red orbs - Walk over to eat them, and Spyro can use a powered up flame.

After more damage, Sgt. Byrd will then drop blue orbs - After taking these, Spyro will shoot them out and they will swirl around in the direction it is launched.

Spike will try to smash the rocks or pick up and use the orbs himself, so be quick.

After a few more hits, Spike will fall and you can continue your journey to Evening Lake.

Dialogue

Sgt. Byrd

• "My tactical instincts told me the Sorceress would attack you here, so I flew in to help out. It seems my rocket launchers don't affect this creature, but I can assist you by dropping ammunition. Now, get in there, and fight the good fight!"
• "If you charge into the lava boulders after I drop them, they'll explode against anything they hit."
• "Whenever you get low on health, just roast a chicken or two, and you'll soon be ship-shape."
