  • You know, i beat buzz on the second try, defeated scorch on the second, and yet this boss took forever!

  • omg that cello *drools*

  • *Harder

  • This was a ridiculously hard boss, it took forever to beat him, he was even herder than scorch in my opinion :3

  • omg i hated that guy i always tried to absorb his powers and it always went wrong

  • The only Spike I'd like to run into in real life is the one from MLP: FIM.

  • @eddmario Jesus christ, I start returning into my childhood and I still can't get away from you bloody bronies. Seriously dude, if you want to talk about that stuff, could you please do it somewhere it is welcome? Thanks.

  • Comment removed

  • Yes Spike indeed was the hardest boss so I don't get why he was the second one to face, but I could keep on trying because of this AMAZING music ;D

    I always hated having to face him no matter how many times I finished the game, just how a boss should make you feel.

  • Buzz: Warm Up Boss

    Spike: That One Boss

    Scorch: Nightmare Fuel

    The Sorceress: Big Bad

    The Sorceress Round 2: True Final Boss

  • scratch that its 0:43 to 1:22

  • good god this boss gave me trouble took me awhile to learn his pattern of attacks....still I love his music best parts are 0:43 to 1:00

  • i say that spike and scorch are my favorite bosses in spyro 3

    spike does deserve to be the last boss

    i wish spike would make a return as a cyborg rhynoc that would be cool

  • I used to lose all of my lives trying to beat Spike. But after years and years of practice, now he takes no time to beat at all ;)

  • @eddmario,

    Fufufufu. Wouldn't surprise me. HE'S SERIOUS STUFU.

  • Either I'm really good with the Spyro games or everyone else just sucks at them. Seriously, non of the bosses in Year of the Dragon had more difficulty than losing between 1-3 lives, if any.

  • @WHiPCPL Kinda because in the pirated version, you would ALWAYS start with green Spark after losing to this boss once. Because of that, this boss was ridiculously impossible to defeat easily unless you were a fucking awesome player.

  • @HoundBlueDragon Well full health or none, I never had too much trouble with him, but oh well ^^

  • @HoundBlueDragon oh,i remeber it,i had to be a boss on this level,and that gunned bastard want helping at all.

  • Love this song my favorite in this game

  • when i was little i would let spike blast me with that blue and green laser cuz i loved the sound it makes lol

  • I began with 99 lives via cheat code.

    Came out with 57.

  • @Herpderppsyduck Lucky bastard. I used the cheat for 99 lives and almost got a game over during this boss.

  • God I hated Spike. I remember getting very frustrated with him because I could never get away from that blue laser he fires when he gets one of those blue balls.>:(

  • If you listen closely to the backround music in the beginning, you can hear part of Scorch's Pit

  • started playing this again fuck he seems so much hard now then when i was lil kid eating my packet of crisps under the cover in my front room

  • buzz- too stupid easy to outwit

    spike - too good lost most lives on this boss

    scourch- too freaky cause it looks like ur in a whale

    sourceceress- too funny cause with the cannon and ufo shoot stuff at her butt haha

    sourceress(bonus level) -too shooty haha

    sorry for any spelling mistakes lol

  • FUCK i stopped playing the game for a month because of this boss hes was a bitch to beat

  • This is the hardest boss in the game, the rest are too easy

  • I somehow managed to beat this guy without getting hit once.

    And then I lost a million lives on that fucking Fireworks Factory level.

  • I used the 99 lives cheat and lost almost half of them fighting this guy

  • lol I remember my sisters throwing the remote at the tv on this boss, then I picked it up and beat him on my first try. Such memories. <3

  • Spike use to piss me off so bad. -.-*

  • I Hate this boss!

    To this day he's the ardest part of the game..

  • @chipsnever957 *hardest

    

  • Oh, I can still remember this music in my head even I have heard last time 5 years ago.

  • I have this song for Sorceress's lair too :|

  • Oh man, I had to give up the game for a couple days when I was a kid because this boss frustrated me so much.

  • is it just me or was Spike pretty hard for a second boss?? I would spend like an hour trying to defeat him..

  • @AkatsukisBluNinja Ugh, same. That One Boss much?

  • Awesome beat and song!!! Totally epic!!!!

  • Wow it all comes back to you the second you hear this doesnt it?

  • F*** spike, he should burn in hell. I hated this boss.

  • Ripto + Steroids = Spike...

    nough' said....

  • anyone remember the boss that was the WalMart smiley face ?

  • @MsmscatProductions I believe it was Scorch that coughed that thing up.

  • 0:43-1:14 Agent 9 feeling...

  • Oh god! This is on the scorceress's lair on my version...and it is So creepy I think!

  • "Epic" isn't enough to descripe this masterpiece.

  • Yeah, Spike was a bitch for me to beat. Hell, Scorch was easier.

    And 0:43 - 1:22 is just freakin beast. I don't remember his theme being this epic.

    I guess I was too busy getting my ass kicked to notice. >>

  • What exactly IS Spike anyway?

  • @SurfingSwampert A pain in the arse to beat.

  • @WonkyTonkBotty Got that right.

  • @SurfingSwampert Spike is a Rhynoc that went under the infulence of the Sorceress' magic. He also has a gun that she happened to have lying around.

  • When I was younger, I would get so pissed with this boss because he was constantly kicking my ass. I was convinced he was the hardest villain in this game to complete.

    ....Until I fought Scorch. .__.

  • I'm totally rebuying Spyro 3 and making sure the disc isn't scratched like my old one...

  • Ah, these bring back memories. I remember Spike, I found him to be the hardest boss out of the original three Spiro games. My performance in this battle seemed to vary vastly; as in some play throughs I would trash him without taking a hit, sometimes it would take a hell of a lot of caution... it depended on what kind of day I was having.

  • I used to just stand there not moving whilst continuously shitting myself 

  • In my opinion, Spike should have been the LAST boss. He was certainly the hardest to defeat.

  • i dont understand why ppl dislike the songs. The songs in the game should just be a detail, but insomniac still made some fantastic songs. All respect to Spyro :) !

  • If I would have muted this scene when I was little, it probably wouldn't have seemed so intimidating, the music makes it so much more intense. xD

  • the bosses are epic in this game because they just look around so far that you move even a litle

  • whenever i hear this theme when i'm fighting spike, it feels like i'm fighting a robot

  • This was the only guy I had trouble with when I was little because for some reason I was terrified of him D: Now that I think of it it may have been cuz of the music here, :58, I was always afraid of aliens so who knows. I like it now though! Buzz/Scorch/Sorceress was easy peasy but he, man I was scared

  • Jesus, those damn electric balls would always kill me, then he fry me with the fire power up, when i finally beat him i felt so accomplished:) But then theres Scorch...

  • This song always struck fear into my heart as a little kid. I tried for a week to beat Spike, which I did. Afterwards it took me 2 weeks to beat Scorch and only a day to beat the Sorceress.

    However, I noticed over time Buzz the Frog got easy, so did Scorch and the Sorceress...Spike never really got easy, he always stayed difficult to kill.

  • Despite how painfully difficult this boss is, it is probably the most epic.

  • Blink Blink.........Blink.........Bl­ink

  • this music is legendary to me, i used to play this game 24-7. i always LOVED going to enchanted towers, i think it was because of the dancing skeleton or something. or was it the skate park?

  • The part at 0:58 is the best!

  • Last good spyro game.

  • god look at bentleys messed up eyes sheesh!

  • This sounds like the Boogeyman's Theme from WWE.

  • why at 0:43 it sounds like alien music?

  • Sgt. Byrd: Fight the good fight!

    Me: -frustrated- THAT DOESN'T HELP ME AT ALL! >>

  • lmao everyone scared of him XD...tbh he was probably my favorite as a kid 0_0

  • Comment removed

  • if you were to sum up my childhood in one ord, it'd be spyro loved all the old games- this one in perticular, a complete gem all the way through, i still have my copy :)

  • it took me ages to realise about the lava rocks :)

  • Dear God, even to this day it takes me at least seven tries to beat this boss. Maybe if Sgt Byrd supplied something a bit more useful than red blobs that you have to charge at the guy I'd do better xD;

  • When I was a kid, it took me 2 FREAKING HOURS to beat this guy!!! DX

  • This boss creeped me out when I was a kid, I'm pretty sure I cried once or twice too XDDDD

  • This is such great music for a Boss fight XD. In fact, all the music in this game is epic!

  • I think that after you beat the Sorceress the second time, she should cast a spell before she falls into the lava that summons an even harder Spike. That would be such an awesome final boss.

  • This is awesome; definitely fits the boss fight, gets you intimidated and stuff (sure did with me). I still say Spike's one of my favorite bosses ever--and Stewart Copeland is a genius when it comes to making music. :D

  • i remember playing this when i was 7, i had the game since it came out, and i just moved next door to my grandparents in what used to be my home and i was playing this level and i was picking at a scratch on my right arm and i thought if i die i die, ill take it seriously when i pick it off so i was picking at the scratch and just pressed random buttons on the controler, and i heard a noize and i looked up and i had beaten spike! :D i still have the scar from the scratch:)

  • This fight was really hard..took me days to kill him, all because I was about 5 :C

  • @finalsora120 I'm pretty sure my brother had to defeat him for me cuz I could never do it, and he's younger than me lol! Talk about embarassing =P.

  • BOSS FIGHTS: Theatrical!

    STORYLINE: Inspirational!

    CHARACTERS: Unforgetable!

    -Never in my whole life have I had the intense desire to gether gems, collect eggs and to smash boxes and vases...

  • @TheYeldark Cool down, broseph! This isn't Shawshank Redemption....but it IS pretty darn good!!

  • What really pisses me off is that the game automatically sets the diffuculty level based on how you play. I wanted to keep fighting him at normal, but NOOO!

    Who cares? This game kicks too much ass.

  • This music gives me chills

  • DON'T LET HIM GET THE BLUE-

    *zing*

    BLUZURB-BLUZBURB-BLUZBURB

  • @DiseasedMoss OH SHIT RUN FOR YOUR LIFE

  • just wondering!...does anyone know how they made these noises? desides computers?

  • The picture shows the PAL version! (united kingdom and austrailia format) i dont care though

  • It gets EPIC at 0:40!

  • took me a whole to beat this guy and figure how to beat him....by the time i found out hoow to beat him...it was my bed time :(

  • Damn, does this this piece bring back memories or what? Me and my sister tried soo hard for soo long to kick this guy's ass! <3 Spyro, I love ya!

  • Awesome piece of music :) More exciting than scary - buzz's dungeon theme was the scariest lol

  • Theme? Namber 3º!!

  • The sound at 0:41 and  0:50 sounds familiar, i've heard it somewhere before?

  • @TNFPP That part of the song also plays on Agent 9's level, I think

  • Spike is the only boss in Year of the Dragon to not be killed by falling into the lava, surrounding the stage. When he is defeated, he spins around a few times and falls onto the ground, defeated. The rest of the bosses in the game were all submerged in the lava after being defeated.

  • @iAmSasuke1

    Odd, possibly the hardest boss in the game (when you first face him compared to the others), and he's the only who doesn't need to be submerged in lava to be finally taken down.

  • @AngelOfAnEnd That's what I said

  • @AngelOfAnEnd Whoa, I noticed you're right. Buzz drowns in lava after Sheila stomps him, Scorch gets shot down into lava and the Sorceress sinks into lava in both battles.

  • I love the fact that he egnores you until you get to close!

  • My fave part is 0:58

  • yearofthe you have so many vids on here about spyro! I LOVE IT!!!!

  • I remember this! from...2min ago! i still own this game! I'm 13 so I inhereted it from my brother!

  • This guy is the hardest boss in the game for me.

  • His Difficultly for me caught me off guard and I died like 10 times T_T

  • welcome...

    to... MOTHA******* HELL!!!!

  • I think agent 9 came with the professor to the dragon worlds because he is in the handheld games. He just doesn't appear in Enter the Dragonfly or A Hero's Tale.

  • this song is way too epic. and this was one heck of a hard boss. i could never beat him but my brother did it for me xP

  • most epic fight in the game

  • Prob the most epic boss music out of any spyro game

  • BEST boss music :D

  • I remember getting killed the most by this boss. I hadn't died the whole game until I got to him. Boy, I must have lost like 10 lives on this guy.

  • This dude was sooooo an asshole!!

  • i use to be scared by this song and now luv it <3

  • GOOD GRIEF I remember this guy, I had a headahe for a week trying to kick this guy ass

  • @BARONPENDRAGON Even Fighting him recently again He still gave me a Hard time but i beat him.

  • @Tyrik73 Indeed

  • okay...THE ENDING OF THIS MUSIC IS CREEPY! I always defeated Spike before this part, so I never heard it before!!

  • when I was younger this music used to scare me so much! especially at 0:58

  • @MrDaBoss7 That my friend was beautifly said, it is truely epic and scarely at the very least. Man fun times the first three original Spyro games are what we would now call a legendary set!

  • @MrDaBoss7 Stewart Copland, he knows how to make music trigger feelings.

  • I always adored the cello element in this.

  • @HotBlackDiasto Just to ask what is a cello? (a musical intrument?) Also, can you tell me which parts are the cello e.g. like 1:00-1:03? (this was just an example if you could tell me it would be appreciated)

  • Good theme, despite it's softness. It reminds me of Ratchet & Clank...

  • @GastrodonAmy

    Yeah, it should, since Insomniac Games made both Spyro series and Ratchet & Clank series

  • this guy scared me the first time more than buzz did...

  • Oh god, I'm still scared of this boss. He can predict your moves, going after rocks to smash you and the rock, his projectiles are fast and he doesn't give you time to react, he moves too fast and often...the problems go on.

    He's like the Gulp fight in the last fight, only after losing weight and using a more simple gun.

  • epic 0:44

  • Insomniac tried to make "The legend of Spyro" better than the original spyro series. You can't beat the original! I wonder if their making anymore like the original.

  • @dagameplayer30 Insomniac doesn't make "The Legend of Spyro", they sold the rights to Spyro after this game.

  • The most epic boss batle music XD

  • this boss was almost impossible for me, when i was younger. i would get pissed off and leave killing sheep just to take my mind of off him -.-

  • Sgt Byrd pissed me off at this level. He would drop the power up all the way at the other side of the arena, WHERE SPIKE WAS!!! 

  • Sgt Byrd attempts to drop another gernade. Spyro appears.

    Spyro: Well! I'm he-

    Spyro explodes.

    Sgt Byrd: 0.0

  • This guy....What a bastard.

  • I used to NEVER be able to beat this boss until I learned of the cheat codes for this game. Not that I minded, this music was too epic not to want to listen too.

  • ...most likely the best boss music ever developed... but like i've said on many Spyro feed...

    1. A Hero's Tail

    2. Year of the Dragon

    3. Enter the Dragonfly

    4. Every Other Title

  • this series reallty needs to be revived

  • The Spyro games for PS1 were all awesome, I think the new ones aren't too good.

  • In the version I have this is also the theme for The Sorceress. This theme suits her.

  • @Weavile461

    Nope, suits Spike...

  • @omegalavender Shut up, it's my opinion!

  • @Weavile461

    girl, hush your mouth, freedom of speech bitchcakes, deal with it...

  • @omegalavender You make me sick! For the last time, IT IS MY OPINION! I am allowed to have opinions!

  • is it me or is the japenees/europees boxversions (the picture on the box) always more friendlyer then the american ones?

  • I always get this boss on first go, however; the first one for my opinion is "hardest". Moreover, there are speed-tricks.

  • Where did Agent 9 and Sheila go? I'm pretty sure they died

  • @screaminggingin83 Sheila & Bentley continued to live in their homeworlds after the Sorceres was defeated. Sargent Byrd went on to train with the hummingbirds and continued to practiced training. (Which would explain his re-apperance in A Heros Tail.)

  • @yearofthe Also, Agent 9 stayed in his homeworld too.

  • @yearofthe He also appeared and was playable in spyro attack of the rhynocs

  • @Tyrik73 Playable?

    oh my god my childhood wish just got fullfilled.

  • @yearofthe What happened to the sorceress ? Because I remember her arm comming out of the Lava-pit

  • @iAmSasuke1 You have to fight her again in the Super Bonus Round world, you need all the gems and eggs in the game to open the portal. Once there, complete all the challenges for the final battle. An anticlimactic battle, and kind of easy, but the final battle nonetheless.

  • @priceofeggsinchina You ever done it ?

  • @iAmSasuke1 Twice, actually.

    One was when I was little, and the me, my brother, and mom all played the same game to beat it, I think, or some of the challenges were too hard. Whatever. Super Bonus Round has an extremely hard race, a friend of mine finally beat it for me. Second time I did it all on my own, but had to cheat in the race to win. It is really so freaking hard, one mess up, one flinch, and you basically lose. Be ready for a challange if you go there.

  • @priceofeggsinchina What a'bout the sorceress ?

  • @iAmSasuke1 Pretty easy, compared to the freaking snow board race. She flies around on a saucer, and you have a saucer too, and have to shoot her down or something. It was anticlimactic.

  • @priceofeggsinchina What happens after ?

  • @iAmSasuke1 You win. Thats about it.

  • @priceofeggsinchina lol, is there a lava pit this time ?

  • @iAmSasuke1 Yeah, I think pink lava is all over the floor, if not pink lava, some kind of deadly pink goo.

  • @priceofeggsinchina lol, like in Super Mario Sunshine
