Learn how to defeat The Sorceress in Spyro: Year of the Dragon. This guide details her attacks, phases, and strategies for each weapon you'll use.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From Harbour Speedway, glide to the Super Bonus Round portal, then glide back down near the Crystal Islands portal.
  2. 2
    Make your way to the white building between Desert Ruins and Haunted Tomb and enter.
  3. 3
    The 100 Egg door is open. Enter the arena for the final battle against The Sorceress.
  4. 4
    You start as Agent 9. The Sorceress is in the middle of a gloomy arena with raised ledges around the edge.
  5. 5
    Phase 1 (Agent 9):
  6. 6
    The Sorceress has three main attacks:
  7. 7
    A shower of blue energy balls (charge around to avoid).
  8. 8
    A rare, sneaky fireball that attacks from behind (swerve while charging).
  9. 9
    A magical whipping green shield (stay away from her).
  10. 10
    To attack, charge around to stall her. Agent 9 will shoot down balloons holding transparent objects and sheep.
  11. 11
    Shoot the transparent objects to create cannons with 10 ammo each. Aim carefully, as the cannons shoot upwards and disappear if you get hit or run out of ammo.
  12. 12
    Get about 5 hits on her to trigger the next phase.
  13. 13
    Phase 2 (Agent 9 - Haunted Tomb Cannons):
  14. 14
    Agent 9 will shoot down two mobile cannons similar to those from Haunted Tomb.
  15. 15
    These cannons allow you to fire directly at the Sorceress. Aim carefully, as you have only twenty chances to hit her across both cannons.
  16. 16
    Get at least five hits to proceed.
  17. 17
    Phase 3 (Agent 9 - Saucer):
  18. 18
    When the Sorceress is at 1/3 health, her attacks become bigger and more frequent. Agent 9 will shoot down a saucer.
  19. 19
    The saucer has unlimited ammo and fires superflame bullets.
  20. 20
    Fly around and pin down balloons for storage. Avoid flying too high, as the Sorceress will try to shoot you down with fireballs.
  21. 21
    Dive down at the Sorceress, firing. Aim for one final attack with five slender fireballs to defeat her.
  22. 22
    The Sorceress Returns (Final Phase):
  23. 23
    After her initial defeat, the Sorceress returns, now in a saucer herself.
  24. 24
    Bianca will warp in to cheer you on.
  25. 25
    Hop onto the saucer to your right and fly into battle.
  26. 26
    The battle takes place in the air. The objective is to defeat her.
Tips
  • DON'T get cornered.
  • Be patient and charge around stalling the Sorceress while Agent 9 prepares to shoot.
  • When using the cannons, aim good but quick.
  • Escape the cannon as soon as she stops pacing and fires.
  • Make good use of the mobile cannons and try to get at least five hits.
  • Try not to over-do it with the saucer, since you may just miss her.
