Ripto

In the Dragon Realms home there is a ring of stone on the ground, just across the river from where the game starts. After you have at least 70% a dark hole opens in the circle. Drop down to fight Ripto.

Part 1 - 70%

If you watch the background while Ripto is talking you may notice a tree and a tower in the distance.

Use flame breath on his ice shield. The balls will shrink each time you do. You gotta follow him closely (charging) and flame him when he stops, before he shoots.

When the shield is gone it may take a couple hits to finish him off.

• If you do not yet have 85% you will go back to Dragon Realms Home and the portal will be sealed until you have 85%.
• If you do have 85% you will continue to next stage of the battle.

Part 2 - 85%

Use Ice Breath on his fire shield. The flames will shrink each time you do.

• If you do not yet have 100% you will go back to Dragon Realms Home and the portal will be sealed until you have 100%.
• If you do have 100% you will continue to next stage of the battle.

Part 3 - 100%

The third Ripto has 2 attacks and they usually alternate.

First he will smash his club and send out 2 Shock waves. The only way to avoid this is to jump over them. (if you are starting over after dying he will lower his club once without sending out a shock wave, wait and jump when he is about to lower it the second time.)

After that he will raise his club and fire 3 balls at you. To avoid them charge away from and across his path.

Occasionally instead of firing the 3 balls he will lower his club and it will get stuck on the ground. This is when you move in and blast him with your lightning breath. I think you need to hit him like this 5 times.
