“Any advice before this battle?”

– Spyro

“Advice, hmmm... A wise dragon once told me. 'Aim high in life but watch out for flying boxes.'”

– Revilo

“Huh?”

– Spyro

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.
