Learn how to defeat Robotnik and the Prison Egg in Sonic the Hedgehog 2, including strategies for the Flame Shield and lava hazards.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    When Robotnik appears, he will tilt the lava towards him. If you have the Flame Shield, you can move left and jump across platforms to avoid sliding into Robotnik.
  2. 2
    When Robotnik launches 3 mines, jump on the platforms to dodge them.
  3. 3
    If you are hit by the mines, you will lose the Flame Shield, making the boss battle harder.
  4. 4
    The 3 mines will hit Robotnik sequentially.
  5. 5
    When Robotnik sinks into the lava, he will emerge from the opposite side and repeat his attack pattern.
  6. 6
    When a Prison Egg starts to descend from above, be aware of the surrounding lava.
  7. 7
    Wait for the Prison Egg to reach your jumping distance before jumping to hit its plunger.
  8. 8
    After the lava freezes over again, you can safely cross it to enter Hidden Palace Zone.
Tips
  • If you get hit by Robotnik's mines, you will lose the Flame Shield, making the fight more difficult.
  • Falling into the lava by mistake will cause you to lose Rings or a life.
