Spyro 1 - Gnasty Gnorc

[@MrFooFoo14]

Song is more intimidating than the actual boss.

[@conradojavier7547]

Gnasty: LESS INTIMIDATING?!

[@gavinphoenixballesteros3080]

Gnasty Gnorc: THAT DOES IT!

[@asileitorgamer5598]

haha

[@theskull4106]

Perhaps gnasty gnorc is powerful than spyro but he has small brain like tiny tiger brain

[@Galax395]

@@theskull4106 not at all. Literally, it takes one flame and Gnasty is dead. Spyro literally surpasses him in every category.

[@Gongopod5]

it was that fucking blue dragons fault, he shouldn`t have said that

[@MultiSuperguy101]

Man I remember as a kid finally getting here and I got the key and went up there to fight him only to see him running away from a little dragon. What a whimp! Pretty disappointing boss fight but a great game.

[@just.a.guy522]

MultiSuperguy101 Spyro 1 is known for its non-Boss battles...

[@YamiOkami23]

MultiSuperguy101 I'm playing the game on PS3 as a download & I thought the same thing. So bold to turn all the dragons to stone but runs when he knows he's screwed. I'm so flustered that I'm yelling "get back here you p***y!"😂 Not to forget he gets taken out in 2 hits compared to 3

[@starbrandfan2541]

MultiSuperguy101 Ripto is the best villain anyway, so it does not really matter lol

[@jubjub444]

Ripto made up for that

[@TheRomanBond007]

Well you also have to remember, that little dragon went around freeing all the crystallized dragons, killing his henchmen, and made it all the way to Gnasty Gnorc.

[@swmprt15]

Gnasty was waiting for you for days, weeks or even months Still didn't have enough time to put on some pants

[@GamingCreed47]

Pants are overrated for him apparently.

[@AnkokunoTsubasa]

You know shit is going down when you first hear this track. I don't know why, but facing Ripto and the Sorceress didn't make me feel as hyped as I did when I faced Gnasty for the first time. You feel his evil presence so much throughout the whole game that once you get to the final realm all you can think is "let's finish this, Gnasty". As soon as I saw the dark sky and THIS track started, I was ecstatic. True, his "fight" is too easy. That's the big problem of Spyro 1, an otherwise nearly perfect game: the easy bosses. I agree that the other two final bosses pose much better fights (especially Ripto), but taking Gnasty's ugly ass down is still immensely satisfying thanks to the game's incredible art direction. Say what you want about Spyro 1's gameplay and its shortcomings (some of them objective, some less), but in terms of atmosphere I shall always place it far above every single other Spyro game.

[@dannypalin9583]

Gnasty may have just ran away from Spyro, but his music had this sense of finality to it.

[@CombineWatermelon]

the music in 1 was the best

[@schmumlauf]

There was a good sense of tension build-up with GG that didn't come with Ripto or the Sorceress. There was more dialogue and a more substantial plot in the sequels. The first one was just "oh f you gnorc, I'm coming for you and I'm gonna make you pay'

[@dannypalin9583]

​@@schmumlaufThat’s it. Gnasty is regarded as a serious and dangerous threat, who must be handled with extreme caution, regardless of how arrogant Spyro acts. Ripto is brushed off as a joke from the getgo and the Sorceress is barely in the game.

[@Matt_0716]

If DSPgaming played: Phil: "I pressed Circle!" Gnasty Gnorc: "You're toast, Phil! Hahaha!"

[@solidSnake4580]

If he does play that there will have to be a this is how you don't play video.

+Carl Hart I'm kinda surprised he hasn't. People should recommend it. Some of his playthroughs are suggested by people.

[@superlombax1561]

+Matt Hirsh Really? I didn't think that he actually listened to his fans.

[@CiampaGiuseppe8]

Gnasty Gnorc was like: -"Spyro, finally we meet. Now I can turn you into a statue, like your similar!" *Spyro reaches Gnasty Gnorc* -"No, Wait! I was just jocking!" *Gnasty Gnorc run away*

[@hermanni9032]

[@cozarooni1834]

When I first battled Gnasty I was like why is this so easy, but now that I think of it I remembered that all of the dragons in Gnasty's world are dragons you've already freed once and just got frozen again. They probably went to fight Gnasty and they probably weakened him quite a bit leaving the last 2 hit points for spyro

[@tommywatsspeedruns7019]

Cozarooni true your probably right now that I think of it

[@HeavyRaiden]

That makes sense.

[@itsvairen334]

Just so that Spyro feels like a hero? That's kinda sweet of them

[@asthmaticnightmare215]

Nice theory! Now I wanna write a fanfic of how it went down before Spyro arrived in Gnasty's World lol

[@Forged4War206]

Sadly it's pretty much just because the developers were crunched for time. The fight was intended to be a lot harder and mechanically challenging, but they had to scrap most of it because of deadlines.

[@minichinchilla3635]

Why were the boss battles always easier than the flights? xD

[@blaria95]

+MiniChinchilla , That's a great question. Maybe the creators wanted to make the boss battles much easier for the children players.

[@minichinchilla3635]

+emma butcher Suppose that makes sense. Thanks for pointing that out ^^

[@blaria95]

You're welcome.

[@LUMINIZEDOG]

certainly helped when i was 3 lmfao

[@gorzCondensate96]

Just nothing tough for the dragon 😎

[@Sternertime]

Given that spyro is a game with a heavy stylistic emphasis on magical things, i always found it interesting how a character like Gnasty Gnorc would be given such a conspicuous name. After all, Gnosis is an essential part of magic. i wonder if anybody else has come accross this interesting thought.

[@ekhozo6850]

An interesting insight, what you say may be related to his name, but, as far as I know, the name Gnasty is a pun on "nasty" and Gnorc is the combination of gnome and orc.

[@Mythical444]

Steward Copeland is a genius for this one.

[@mountain9421]

This felt more like chasing a thief on steroids than an actual boss fight.

[@pentumplementgum]

This song means business!

[@thefatass500]

But the actual fight doesn't.

[@DirtyDan1]

It means that Spyro is bout to beat gnasty gnorc's ass

[@superlombax1561]

Gnasty Gnorc appeared! Go, Spyro! Gnasty Gnorc fled! *roll credits* Trainer: What the heck just happened?

[@Gyaruta]

XD

[@gavinphoenixballesteros3080]

Super Lombax That’s basically the entire fight

[@mcalpha3]

Was so upset as a kid because I couldn't reach the Gnasty Gnorc battle. When I finally did when I got a bit older I remember feeling so let down by how easy it was. You basically chase a couple thieves and then chase Gnasty for a bit until he stops and you flame him once. It was pathetic.

[@CallofDutyBlackOps28]

that feeling then Spyro at the beginning of the game could easily just beat Gnasty then and there.

[@EliteWizzerd946]

Toriel the motherly monster *_"You have much to learn first."_* Spyro: I could literally just flame him twice. It's not a big deal.

[@huckmart2017]

Lol I know. For whatever reason though i was the first out of my brothers to beat the game. I remember hearing my biggest brother yelling at the TV during this fight. Not sure why he thought it was so hard

[@superlombax1561]

Huck Mart I guess they must’ve kept accidentally falling into the instant death water around the main chasing area.

[@Ninetails2000]

That awkward moment when you realize he's wearing a leotard in promotional art, but forgot to wear pants to the bossfight in-game...

[@michaeldunlap1032]

Don't you just hate it when models look different in promo art and in-game? It's kinda annoying if ya ask me.

[@superspyro8940]

UGLY? THAT DOES IT *turns every dragon to crystal*

[@RockStoneLee19]

Your toasted Gnorc! HAHA!

[@blaria95]

If you think about it, Gnasty Gnorc was more of a coward than he was a villain. He ran from Spyro MAJORITY of the boss battle.

[@Crrruuissinn]

This fits a boss level for sure. I just wish that gnasty gnorc himself wasn't such a joke of a boss. The most challenging boss in the game was dr. Shemp. Gnasty was like just as easy as blowhard or Jacques. The gliding from platform to platform over lava was the most challenging part.

[@Treetops27]

The challenging one was metalhead.

[@DrShemp]

Crrruuissinn I agree. Dr. Shemp is the best

[@telusdark7550]

When you hear Gnasty Gnorc beats on his chest he's not playing around

[@TravistheDragon]

Am I the only one who thinks this music is so epic?

[@otigalaivoj1994]

Spyro reignited trilogy hype!

[@SparkyMK3]

"You're toast, Gnorc!" --Spyro T. Dragon, c. 1998

[@asthmaticnightmare215]

Best boss theme of all 3 games, I used to play this level just to hear this theme

[@blaria95]

The people saying that the boss battles don't count as boss battles because they are easy, well in a way it makes sense to have them all be so easy because the main age group of Spyro one is meant for little kids and little kids don't like to have things too difficult because they get overwhelmed and upset. I've never minded the boss battles.

[@Ninetails2000]

It also makes sense from a story perspective as a tragic end for a villain who really wasn't. Gnasty Gnorc only crystallized the dragons because they publicly humiliated him on live TV completely unwarranted. It only fits that he would end up completely brutalized by a dragon as revenge for a feud he didn't even start.

[@blaria95]

@Ninetails, Very true.

[@Nathan55411]

emma butcher To be fair, the second game had much harder bosses which puts a pretty big contrast on the bosses in this game.

[@blaria95]

@Nathan, Very true.

Favorite track of the trilogy.

[@Calmminded94]

Badass boss Music :)

[@Ajz092]

I'm really struggling here. As a kid, I thought my favorite Spyro game was the 3rd one...then I realized I actually liked the 2nd game better when I got a little older. But recently, I've been watching gameplays of Spyro 1 and I'm torn. If they had swimming, climbing, hover & headbash in Spyro 1, I don't think it'd even be a contest. But since Spyro 2 had more diversity within levels, better boss fights and the levels were also longer, AND the entire game had more mechanics...it's hard to choose between the two.

[@i-am-goose8428]

[@MC3520]

Man, as a kid I remember never being able to beat this level.

[@Mr.Feather130]

Gnasty Gnorc:You can’t defeat me because I have the high ground! Spyro:No U Gnasty Gnorc:(Surprised Pikachu Face) (Spyro ends up get to the high ground and gnasty Gnorc runs like a Coward) Spyro:You’re toast Gnasty!

[@DarkVoxis]

I don’t know why so many people are complaining about how easy this boss is/was. I am an OG player, played this game when I was 7 21 years ago. This boss isn’t meant to be all meaty and hard. This boss fight was always meant to be a puzzle. Sure, it was simple, but it was also frustrating in the sense that, if you died, you had to start ALL OVER. THAT is what made this boss fight challenging. This boss fight is also super iconic in the video game industry, so there’s also that.

[@asherzerbib3461]

Isn’t the same without hearing Gnasty roaring and blasting at you.

[@amberwright3518]

I loved the upbeat song for the simple fact that this boss fight was so anti-climatic. Three hits??? lol but loved it as a child

[@demonfox1995]

Actually it took two hits.

[@brandonweierke8939]

I think the bass rift of Bob by Primus is the perfect embodiment of none other than Gnasty Gnorc.

[@Stefanonimo]

The most disappointing boss "battle" in the history of games. You fight through the entire game just to see a giant monster like Gnorc that escapes from a little dragon and he gets killed by 2 shots...

[@DarkPurpleDude]

That's the only problem I have with Spyro the Dragon. The game is great, but the "bosses' almost don't even qualify as bosses.

[@svarthert8450]

+Stefanonimo that's the point of all the game : Gnorc is a coward who uses minions and tricks. they have retckoned that in a game where he reapperead and where is almost a badass.

[@svarthert8450]

***** health is not stamina :p

[@skelemama]

The fight is pretty similar to the final boss of Crash Bandicoot 2, Cortex just flies away from you instead of fighting and you only hit him 3 times.

[@FunkyGhost37]

well, it was nice to see him again for a change

[@hetalianotaku7103]

Oh man Gnasty Gnorc. He was a fun fight. when I got the hang of it I could beat him within minutes.

[@darkman2807]

sin those drums arent in the remake. even bigger sin they removed some of gnastys attacks (he fires beams on the racetrack if he's ahead of you and crushes you if you get too close to him in the original instead of just standing there!)

I have to admit, this was a very good boss theme. I wish they did a remix of this of some sort, maybe metal. Or using either Megaman X or Super Metroid instruments for it, I don't know.

[@Tyrik73]

@03bgood That is a Good idea.Maybe two versions of it(one of Original Spyro(where he meets his younger self and one for Los spyro(where he meets his Younger self).Only problem would be what time Period for the Current selves to meet their younger selves.

[@six-stringphantom1402]

I'll be honest. This whole time I thought the first second of this song was Gnasty growling at me

[@623mcgee]

I remember when Spyro was the greatest thing in existance "TROUBLE WITH THE TROLLEY EH!??!!" Those games made up my childhood, and I'm glad I was born in a time era where I could play them [even though the first game came out when I was 4]. Enter the dragonfly had potential, and the music was fantastic [Copeland ftw] but greedy universal and their time constraints sent spyro to the grave. I hope that there are no more horrid spyro games It's really just beating a dead corpse at this point.

[@EmperorXaozx]

@Greenstonetiki For me and my cousin, we both kept charging off the path into the liquid.Then again we were really young.O_o

[@Tyrik73]

@peppercat1515 I don`t think four was properly tested etc and it was kinda rushed becuase it was supposed to be out in 2003 but some people pushed the devs to realse it early.Also you know of the new spyro game spyro kingdom?

Gnasty Gnorc is entirely pathetic in every possible way. The actual encounter with him is terrible & anticlimactic. He literally only says 7 words in the entire game. And you only actually see him twice. Once in the opening cutscene & once when you get to him.
