Crash Bandicoot 2 Boss FAQ By James "Lagunathemoron" Wardle 21st December 2002 Introduction: Welcome to my Crash Bandicoot 2 Boss FAQ. At the moment, Gamefaqs does not have a Boss FAQ for this old yet brilliant and popular game, and since this game has several challenging bosses I thought to lend a hand. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1) Disclaimer 2) Bosses a) Ripper Roo b) Komodo Brothers c) Tiny the Tiger d) N Gin e) Dr. Neo Cortex 3) Credits 4) Version History 5) Contact -------------------- 1) DISCLAIMER -------------------- Disclaimer: I wrote this FAQ and I don't want anyone to rip off my hard work.

This time, rather than the second boss he is the first, and a bit of a challenge. The area is surrounded by water and you are on a nice big square. Ripper Roo lays down TNT blocks which will explode in ten seconds and nitro squares, which will blow up instantly when touched. The TNT are red whilst the Nitro are green. The trick to get him is to lure him on to the squares, once Ripper Roo lands on one of the deadly squares, he will be knocked out, losing 33.3% of his health. Do this three times to win, but be careful as his attack pattern often changes. ++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++ Second Boss: Komodo Brothers Komodo Brothers Health: 3 These two mean dragons attack one at a time (Usually) so that is one worry off your case. Or is it? Whilst one of them attacks you on the battle field, the other likes to throw knives. When the first brother starts spinning, avoid his attack until he stops and attack him. His brother will take over throwing knives, once he is done, again hit him. The brothers will get quite mad at Crash Bandicoot now and for their final effort they will do a combo, throw knives whilst the other one speeds, just avoid their attack and then attack. This fight is similar to the first fight on Crash Bandicoot against Papu Papu! ++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++ Third Boss: Tiny the Tiger Tiny's Health: 3 Wow! Tiny is HUGE! The area is made up of nine raised platforms. Tiny will chase you around by jumping, and after a certain amount of time, some of the platforms will flash red. These will blow up so quickly lure Tiny on to the platforms, when he does, just at the right time it will damage him. You need to do this around three times to win, but beware that he is much more harder after two hits. Oh and one futher thing, be careful which platforms Tiny destroys when they blow up, once they have blown up, they're gone. ++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++ Fourth: N-Gin N-Gin's Health: 4 This is quite possibly the hardest boss in the game. It is set on one staight platform on a 2D gameplay, and you must destroy Cortex's right hand man, N-Gin. He will start the fight by firing lasers at you, quickly block his lasers with Wumpa fruit. He will then have the TNT timers on him, fire more fruit back at him. Finally repeat the process to win. ++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++ Fifth Boss: Dr. Neo Cortex Ripper Roo's Health: 3 This is it! The final boss. You must chase Cortex through space, avoidng rocks and when getting close, spin attacking him. The final fight is quite easy, Cortex will wait for you if you bump in to any obsticles along the way. Good luck! -------------------- 3) CREDITS -------------------- James Wardle - For writing this Boss FAQ CjayC - For hosting Gamefaqs and for posting this FAQ -------------------- 4) VERSION HISTORY -------------------- 1.0 This is the first version, I have wrote strategies for all five bosses. -------------------- 5) CONTACT -------------------- If you wish to contact me about this FAQ, please send an e mail with "Crash Bandicoot 2 Boss" or something like it in the subject to james@planter.karoo.co.uk and I will try my best to answer E mails.
