Bosses
Crush
Floor pads signal his attacks. Flame him during an opening, then move away before he retaliates and rocks fall.
Gulp
Feed him the objects that arrive in the arena — charge barrels, flame bombs and spit rockets — while dodging his shots.
Ripto
Collect three coloured power-ups for a stronger attack; the last colour decides the power. The fight ends in the air.
Quick notes
- Move between Crush's attacks. Crush's floor pads signal attacks that you must dodge or jump.
- Use the supplies in Gulp's arena. Gulp's fight provides objects you can send toward him: charge barrels, flame bombs and spit rockets.
- Collect power during Ripto's fight. Ripto's arena uses colored powerup items.
- Plan the postgame collection. The original adventure contains 10,000 gems and 64 orbs.
After hitting a boss, make the safe retreat part of your attack routine.
