Raggs Plays Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage [31] [CURSE YOU SHADO!]

Between Possk and I playing these games, she takes great pride in causing poor Spyro pain (see Part 1 of Crystal Glacier and Glimmer and Spyro 1 or 2 fail reels). SHADOWSMIFFDEMON MUST BE STOPPED!

No laughing at my lack of math skills. This isn’t the first time I’ve mixed up numbers.

Yes, I’m convinced that Fracture Hills was designed to include everything that could piss the average Spyro gamer off. Here are some points (some not discussed in the video).
-Large enemies that can’t be destroyed with Spyro’s own power (flame, charge, rock, headbash without Hunter)
-LAVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
-Music that doesn’t sound so fitting (well, I think that at least)
-Deadly plants that usually don’t look threatening until they attack *glares at bush/tree/whatever*
-Need to use supercharge for almost everything
-Bodyguard challenge (not bad in games unless you’re protecting the unlogical Mr. Alchemist)
-Valley-girl fauns *strangles*
-Often difficult supercharge track that you need to use in 3 instances (skill point, gem chest, orb) (yes, the supercharge is mentioned twice)

The only thing missing here is a cliff, a skate/snowboard, or respawning ninjas.

In this video:
-Me going blahblahblah
-VERY few gems in Fracture Hills

Raggs Plays Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage [30] [ISSA KITTY!]

Raggedstar loves her George-kitty as you can see *cough*.
(damn, no George thumbnails? Weak…)

Wow, this level went by really fast. Not counting the parts in the video where I stood around or died, I think I did this level in roughly 14-15 minutes (the entire recording was about 16:30). I know it’s easy, but I’ve never done any level 100% that fast. Oh well.

In this video:
-Both orbs in Crystal Glacier (finding ubercuteGeorge and cleaning out the draclets)
-All gems in Crystal Glacier

Yep, not much to this level. At least it’s a nice easy break before I head into Fracture Hills (even though I won’t be sticking around for long).

Raggs Plays Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage [29] [The Icebuilders Are CANADIAN]

Honestly, who else would go through all this for the sake of hockey tickets?

Possk can be relieved that me making fun of her will no longer be my featured video on my channels lol.

PS: Gravity is not my friend.

In this video:
-some gems in Crystal Glacier
-Crystal Glacier Talisman
-instance of pure Raggedstar-brand stupidity

Death Count 2:
-1 Skelos Badlands (mystery bottle glitch)
-1 Crystal Glacier (dropped into hidden abyss)

Raggs Plays Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage [28] [Let’s Point And Laugh At Possk]

Just sending another reminder to Possk that you can swim in Spyro 2. I get too much amusement making fun of her lol (but I love my Possk anyways *hugs*).

Ugh, and this is my last day of winter break. Back to horrible college tomorrow.

In this video:
-Breeze Harbor Talisman
-Last orb (trolley challenge)
-All gems in Breeze Harbor
-More Possk failure

Raggs Plays Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage [27] [Tired…]

I blame it entirely on Eternal Night.

For those that didn’t read the comments, I have a correction to the contest. LittleKitsune DID technically get it right in regards to thinking first death will be in the Skelos Badlands, but ButterflyIllusioned had the better answer since it was the only level she said (LittleKitsune said Skelos Badlands and Magma Cone).

In this video:
-Whining about Eternal Night
-Most gems in Breeze Harbor
-One orb (destroy the mines)

Recorded January 8th, 2010.

PS: I’ve been asked a few times on my opinions of TLOS series. Seeing as since I got my PS2 (I’m sorry, but there are hardly any PS3 games I’m interested in. My tv doesn’t support HD anyways), I’ve played a few games, including the first 2 TLOS games. I will give more detail when needed, but I more or less summarized my my major gripes with the second game, Eternal Night. A New Beginning was easy while Eternal Night was too hard for it’s own good. Being more difficult than ANB isn’t a bad thing, but when you consider how awkward the platforming/jumping is, the repetitive/long battles, and poor lighting, the game really dishes a lot of cheap shots. In the grove (before the ice dream. It’s somewhat of a “second level”), I timed myself only taking 10 seconds to be killed because of how overpowered the enemies are sometimes (had to burn a fury just to get through). There are good things about the game, but the things I mentioned just suck the fun out most of the time.
I can give more detailed opinions if asked, but I haven’t played a lot of Dawn Of The Dragon (only finished the first level). First two are fine.

Raggs Plays Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage [26] [My Cat Killed Ratchet]

Ya, he’s the reason why the lombax race went poof.

Finally done this nameless level. IT DID NOT HAPPEN!

*cough* So, voting is open for the next levels. There is currently 1 vote for Fracture Hills. Since I will only be spending a minute or two in there, I’ll combine it with Metro Speedway.

In this video:
-All gems in level
-Last orb in the level(collecting bones)
-Epic skeleton dance
-Raggs picking mushrooms in her emo corner (brownie to those that get the reference as long as your name isn’t Possk or Skerz)

Raggs Plays Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage [25] [Ugh, Just Kill Me Now]

Oh wait, a glitch beat me to it. Yes, my first death is in true Raggedstar fashion: random, stupid, and full of fail.

Although the concept of this glitch isn’t NEW, this is the first time it happened to me (figures, now of all times). I know Exploit1080 had similar stuff happen to him in Fracture Hills during his Spyro 2 LP (hitting the satyr in a weird way and falling into the lava during the cutscene). Apparently similar situations happened to others.

Look at 4:04

I think ButterflyIllusioned said Skelos Badlands. I checked through my videos and I couldn’t see any more for this level. If I’m wrong, tell me roughly which video and I’ll correct myself next video.

In this video:
-Most gems in Skelos Badlands
-Bone collecting
-Skelos Badlands talisman
-2 skill points (flame the cacti and beating the catbat quartet)
-WTFGLITCHDEATH!

Death Count: 1 (Skelos Badlands. DAMN YOU GLITCH!)

Raggs Plays Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage [24] [Let The Failure Begin!]

And it only gets worse…

In this level:
-Some gems in Skelos Badlands
-2 orbs in Skelos Badlands (both DINOSAUR challenges)

Recorded December 31st, 2009.

Raggs Plays Spyro 2: RIpto’s Rage [23] [BOOM! HEADSHOT!]

Just not as epic without the machine gun *sigh*.

Uploading this sooner than planned because I’m not going to be around for a few days. It wouldn’t make sense if I uploaded it when I came back. After that, I will satisfy you poor, demented souls and do the Skelos Badlands 0__0.

Contests are still open. Here is a complete list…I think.
-When is first death?
-How many videos? (should be a good start for guesses seeing as we’re halfway through the game)
-How many deaths?
-How many lives remaining? (at the end of all boss battles, skill points, etc)
-How many attempts at the Fracture Hills supercharge to get 100% and skill point? (will be done during backtracking)

I think that’s it. Suggestions for other contests are open.

In this video:
-Scorch talisman
-last Scorch orb (getting the flags)
-ALL Scorch gems (well, could’ve been worse)

Recorded December 23rd, 2009.

Raggs Plays Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage [22] [First Death…IN SCORCH!?]

No, but that would’ve been messed up (especially in one of the easiest Autumn Plains challenges).

Halfway there! The game is officially at 50% completion after finishing Magma Cone.
(as a note again, I only use save states to save where I begin just in case of recording problems)

Due to not being online due to holiday stuff, I’ll upload the second part tomorrow instead of waiting until I get back. You’ll have something to chew on until then.

ALSO, though I forgot to say it, I might create an intro for my Spyro videos. Post your opinion on if I should have one, and if so, which idea. My current ideas are:
-my current AMV intro, “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)” by The Beatles (see my main channel)
-beginning of the first FMA second opening, “Ready, Steady, Go” by L’Arc En Ciel
-chorus of “Higher We Go” by Stratovarius

In this video:
-showing 50% completion
-telemarketer rage
-some gems in Scorch
-orb in Scorch (knocking the monkies out of the trees)
-skill point (charge the palm trees)
