I gave up on this boss battle entirely, and skipped to the next game. It just didn't seem worth it, and I wasn't having fun in the slightest. Ripto, on the other hand, was a fun boss battle. I didn't even mind when I died, because it just meant I could do it again.
I thought Tree Tops was maddening, but this is ridiculous! I keep falling off the trail and need to start all over again. I dread coming back to this level after taking a break because I get so stressed out! Update: I finally beat it after someone commented that you don't have be right on the tail of Gnorc... He will wait for Spyro on the platform and then just flame him. However, if you can chase him closely, it takes time for him to turn around on the platform to face you and then you can flame him easier. Hope this tip can help some of you out there that are having trouble with this.
This is the level that made me quit spyro for a couple years. It probably took me about 40 tries before I quit trying. Deciding to try again today and beat it on the 8th try. My heart is pounding and my hands are still shaking. Leaving this comment to tell my dragon friends DO NOT GIVE UP YOU WILL GET IT!!!!!
Yeah! If I were them I would’ve put a check point in two parts of the level! 1.After unlocking the path the Gnorc himself abd 2. After you hit him the first time!
Lol I recently broke my wrist and I'm still having a lot of problems with it but😆 this had me raging so bad I slammed the remote and hurt the shit outta my wrist
I'll save myself the controller and an aneurysm. This fucking sucks. They screwed up BAD with this fight, it's not the least bit fair or fun. I win by not subjecting myself to further torture.
This level has caused me to rage so much... I’m screaming in anger right now cause I keep falling off trying to chase him and having to start over!! THERES NO CHECKPOINTS AND IT MAKES ME SO MAD
For reals this could be improved with literally ANY checkpoint whatsoever. Chasing the key guys is so tedious to do over and over again, and when you have to go fast over lava and death water it makes it very likely your going to die at least once and have to do it ALL all over again.
This fight is fustrating me so bad lmfao. I get to the second stage and keep falling in the lava, each time you die you gotta chase those thiefs for the keys again
So I thought spyro was lacking a bit of a challenge. An than last minute they throw this at me. The worst is doing it all over again from the beginning each time.
Tips in Lava, you dont need to run all the time, just run a little bit in the third moving floor then speed down and jump wait a little second and plane, if you plane early you will fall.
Took about four tries, I was confused because there wasn’t a fight, I figured I had to get 100% treasures to get to the real fight, ended way too soon.
The problem is running/camera controls are not perfect making this more difficult then it needs to be, coupled with lack of checkpoints makes it just not worth the time, skipping and going to game 2!
To get keys easy, you can avoid chasing the guys with keys by running and shooting fire just right past the first corners, in the direction they start to go from their original starting points at 0:14 & 0:43. As for Gnorc, you gotta run as often as you can, and hit him on the platform at 1:30 within, like, 2 seconds after he lands on it. Then just carefully jump on the gradually shrinking platforms across the lava (being close to walls helps), and Gnorc will wait at the end. Avoid his scepter blasts and fry him.
I struggled with this level a year ago and stopped playing the game. I came back to it a few days later and struggled heavily until I beat it just last night. I’m pissed finding out that this was the final boss as I had no idea lol
Yeah, like, where are the locked treasure chests? Can't remember the last time in this game using a key to unlock a door, so I forgot that bit of general knowledge for a moment. 😣
I thought since he was wearing metal I had to charge him... I rage quit after a few laps the first time I played but after looking this up I got it first try WITH a skill point. Man
It seems like there's always a delay on the 2nd loop for the enemy. Its super hars to catch on the first unless its a perfect run but they seem to slow down on the later attempt.
They stop for a moment at their starting point, letting you get a bit closer than when they started running as you approached the first time. It's not much but it's enough.
I’m not being horrible but it’s that easy? A few rounds round the board then once u hit him u go through a cave flying to reach on each stone until u reach him then u flame him and then he’s dead
Really? Fucking really? That was the most anti-climactic boss fight I've ever seen in my life. He's literally just running away from you, how is that a boss *fight*? Literally every other boss prior to this was more worthy of a final boss than this.
How do you get the Gnasty Gnorc skill point 'Perfect' ?? I beat him without getting touched at all not once and still didnt get the perfect skill point .. So how do you get it ?? Any1 know ?
Honestly, even though the lava bit is a bit hard the first few times…. It’s kind d of a disappointing finish to a great game. I mean… only 2 hits and he’s dead? Just a tad underwhelming for me. But I still loved playing it
@CJ Almqvist you have to look up the exact cheat.. just Google spryro 99 lives cheat and follow the correct buttons theres also cheats to change spryro color
The fact you have to retrieve BOTH keys every time you die is absolutely tedious, and I despise how the camera in the first game works. Even on PS1. I have fallen into that purple lava chasing Gnorc sooooo many times going down the steps and around corners. I spent so effing long on this game today between Treetops, a few other late levels, and now this. I swear, I won't be happy until it's finished. I am completely soured on it right now. Wonderful for 80% of the game, then the most bullshit levels come one after the other.
Never Uninstalled A Game So Fast In My Life. This Level Was Just Plain Stupid. Ran Around For 3 Hours Tryna Torch This Guy But Every Time I Would Get Even Remotely Close He'd Run Off And Make It Virtually Impossible To Flame Him, Eventually Just Threw My Controller In Frustration, Alt-F4'd And Uninstalled The Game In A Matter Of Seconds.. Legit So Dumb. Great Game, Stupid Fucking Ending.

Poorly played, Insomniac. I expect better of you. Was there some miscommunication here? Did someone at the company decide that the worst part of the game, chasing after green thieves, should also be the last boss fight? And if you screw it up, you get to do the whole thing over again? No. Just no.
This is the most annoying fckng boss ever, with weird control. I tried ~100 times, than I quited and uninstalled this piece of... I will never try again.

Pov: you're here because you just ragequitted after falling into the lava during the disappearing platforms
Damn. Way to call me out like that..
Lmaooo my palms were so sweaty. F the lava
I didn't even get to that part 😭
Wasn't expecting to get called out lmao

Ripto, on the other hand, was a fun boss battle. I didn't even mind when I died, because it just meant I could do it again.
I’m going back to Artisans world so I can feel good about myself again.
that's where I farm for lives
Literally me right now
They couldnt have botherd to atleast add a check point after you get the keys? Dealing with those damn green twerps over and over is pure torture.
The first one you can get instantøy and the 2nd one you can get at the 3rd corner. No need to run the laps with them 😂 use your flames
@@WendiKoffyou got to time your flames right as those thieves runs pretty fast.

@Shisimocha3 Thank you for the tip😊😊

What about a single checkpoint? Naah, "make no checkpoints so it seems this level it's hard lol"
EXACTLY
Yeah! If I were them I would’ve put a check point in two parts of the level! 1.After unlocking the path the Gnorc himself abd 2. After you hit him the first time!
Guess i’m not finishing the first game
Us: please just one checkpoint😥 them: no,we're good😁
They're not good. They're evil.
@@jessragan6714I agree. Having a checkpoint is crucial. You don’t know how frustrating it is when you’re forced to start all over if you die.
What a bs way to end a great game...
I've had it for about 3 years, who said anything about ending It
I agree completely!!!
That's what we call bad level design.
This boss fight was one of the most frustrating things I’ve ever played, I threw my controller in rage lol
Lol I recently broke my wrist and I'm still having a lot of problems with it but😆 this had me raging so bad I slammed the remote and hurt the shit outta my wrist
Seriously?? Maybe I was blessed took me about 10 attempts and no controllers demolished lol
I'll save myself the controller and an aneurysm. This fucking sucks. They screwed up BAD with this fight, it's not the least bit fair or fun. I win by not subjecting myself to further torture.
i keep fallin in lava, came here for a break lmao
Same need help
Just completed this omg! 20 years since playing the original on PlayStation and I finally defeated gnorc!

Why does it have to be a chase level?
"Derp! You know those scenes where you have to chase after green thieves that everybody hates? Let's make that the entire final boss stage!"
So I thought spyro was lacking a bit of a challenge. An than last minute they throw this at me. The worst is doing it all over again from the beginning each time.
Fun fact for fans of totally spies, the actor plays Gnasty Gnorc plays their most reoccurring villain in the show, Tim Scam
ah yes, the "It pissed me off more than most dark souls bosses" moment
I couldn’t catch him for the life of me until I started jumping/cutting the corners and speeding, then it was extremely simple
It's literally that last little bit with those sliding platforms that go in the wall... What a cheap trick.
I get so frustrated by this level every time I almost have it and then I fail
Got to the point where I keep falling off the track so came here for some tips and didn’t realise what lies ahead . Wish me luck
3rd try 🤷♂️👍
Now it’s forcing me to watch the credits
I’m talking to myself I need help
What a pitiful final boss.
Fuck this level.
I want to cry.
this boss fight is so hard fml
@Super Mario Blake SMB yeah I was able to do it after about 50 attempts
Agreed
@Super Mario Blake SMB No the platforms/timed segment
Just picked up the game on the Switch, this boss fight is pissing me off so much, why are there no fucking checkpoints???
What the hell were the developers thinking when planning this level out???
So gnasty gnorc freezes all the dragons but when Spyro comes along, he runs away.
I don’t get it 😆
He’s a coward.
Tips in Lava, you dont need to run all the time, just run a little bit in the third moving floor then speed down and jump wait a little second and plane, if you plane early you will fall.
He doesn't even turn that sharp 4 me and buddy runs off the platform b4 I even get to torch him my inner child is screaming
Took about four tries, I was confused because there wasn’t a fight, I figured I had to get 100% treasures to get to the real fight, ended way too soon.
I cannot. For the life of me, unlock whatever he is standing on. Everytime i try. I die
You need to get the two keys from the small guys first and then you just go straight to his platform without getting hit by him
The problem is running/camera controls are not perfect making this more difficult then it needs to be, coupled with lack of checkpoints makes it just not worth the time, skipping and going to game 2!
The controls are definitely worse than they were in the original.

I beat this on my first try I thought it was pretty easy. But I can see why it can be hard for that last bit with the shrinking platforms
Yeh mate not bad at all imo
I hate this level. I can’t do it. Lol
Did you ever beat it?
Did you ever beat it?
You can actually beat the lava part without sprinting at all if you are quick about it.
Why tf isn’t there any CHECKPOINTS 😭
Been trying to get past this one for MONTHS, finally getting it has me on a high right now lmfao
I’m not being horrible but it’s that easy? A few rounds round the board then once u hit him u go through a cave flying to reach on each stone until u reach him then u flame him and then he’s dead

Nah just whyyyy… and the first time I did it IT DIDNT SAVE so I had to do it again💀💀
Thanks this'll help me a lot...
i think i died in that level 3 times on my xbox
im doing this with messed up joycons so im silently raging hard atm
I take it you can't get to the next level until you have defeated gnasty gnorc. I can't do it at all.
This stage is so stupid due to the fact of spyro weird camera control and stupid bumping into the wall with slightest bad turn
I’m ending the game here. I hate a chase level. To me, I’ve finished it. Haha
How do you get the Gnasty Gnorc skill point 'Perfect' ?? I beat him without getting touched at all not once and still didnt get the perfect skill point .. So how do you get it ?? Any1 know ?
You need to also have all of the gems. This also counts if you already got the gems on a prior attempt, and then go back to do it hitless.
9 attempts before I passed. tree tops is still worse imo 💀
Honestly, even though the lava bit is a bit hard the first few times…. It’s kind d of a disappointing finish to a great game. I mean… only 2 hits and he’s dead? Just a tad underwhelming for me. But I still loved playing it
This was great Thank You
66 Lives for Spyro, no way.
There a cheat for 99 lives
@CJ Almqvist you have to look up the exact cheat.. just Google spryro 99 lives cheat and follow the correct buttons theres also cheats to change spryro color
There's a little something I like to call 'enemy farming'
Ol' Dreäddy I’m doing that too. Before you can do it with butterflies.

Is this seriously the last part of the game? Then, it’s over? Lmao
The fact you have to retrieve BOTH keys every time you die is absolutely tedious, and I despise how the camera in the first game works. Even on PS1.

HOLY SHIT I DID IT 😭
This level 😤😤😤🤬
2 hits and boom...what a boss lmao
Getting to him though.
1:53 KNOCKOUT!!
Thanks for the info, i beat this on my v first attempt, didn't even need the sprint skill over the lava part haha
😂 i died 10 times😂
