In the Reignited Trilogy the list would be 5: Lost Fleet Skateboarding 4: Lost Fleet Skateboarding 3: Lost Fleet Skateboarding 2: Lost Fleet Skateboarding 1: Lost Fleet Skateboarding
I love how you said ALL of the Agent 9 challenges under one level. Yeah, I haven't had a single mission with him that isn't difficult. Hate the ninjas in Fireworks factory. At least I'd gotten good at zeroing in on the boxes so they don't spawn endlessly. For me, the boxing for sure. Sgt. Byrd at Charmed Ridge (damn cat witches!), the snowboard level (I was stuck on that for ages and it took me a while to finish the game because of it), and some others I'm forgetting.
I absolutely expected the slide challenges to be on here somewhere. I never thought Cat Hockey was that hard myself. Yeti Boxing, on the other hand; I ENVY you for never having trouble with it as a kid. I swear the computer can read my mind.
ZehOverseer Agreed. Having played through this game just over a year ago, I can honestly say that yeti challenge is very enraging (especially round 2). To quote the Internet: “The computer is a cheating bastard” I honestly remember Bentley’s brother’s voice line, upon failing this challenge, better than even some of Spyro’s own lines.
I never actually had trouble with Bentley Boxing as a kid but Haunted Tombs cannon one, when you said that I shivered from how often I raged during that as a kid
For the Haunted Tomb one I ran out of lives, so I went to Midday gardens and killed a million of those bunnies so I'd have enough lives. I think got 15 lives and figured that was enough. It took THIRTEEN of them
Tip to beat Demolition Derby without a scratch: Snipe everything you can from as far away as possible. As soon as it starts, I inch forward so it doesn’t trigger the other tanks to move, then I nudge the aim and fire . You have to inch forward eventually, but you can clear out what you can and still be able to snipe what’s far away. You can fire a bunch of times towards the pots they’re hiding behind for trial and error because it doesn’t make them move until you get close.
I do the EXACT same thing!!! Honestly it takes a lil longer but you can get it over with faster without really dying much. Sometimes I would die mainly from flying my canon to close to the sides where the bridges were. People take note! This makes this mini game easier!
My top 5 Hated Spyro 3 Minigames: 5. Blowing Up the Rhynoc Base (Seashell Shore): I can't remember if it was 30 or 60 seconds, but I hate how long it takes Sheila to stomp on the sand blocks and turrets. Also, if you're not careful, you could miss the turret entirely and get hit by a Rhynoc, wasting time! Low on list because it's doable. 4. Getting the Egg From the Ledge in Fireworks Factory: This was the worst for me as a kid. I lost a lot of lives in this minigame because of the ninjas with guns. It's still annoying for me now, but not as bad as it was. 3. Escort the Twins (Spooky Swamp): Like you said, the fact that these guys couldn't walk in a straight path was the most irritating part of this minigame. 2. Rhynocs at the Demolition (Haunted Tomb): I've never beaten this one. That's how bad it is for me. 1. Reach the End of the Tunnel (Sunny Shore and Dino Mines): How did the eggs get to end of the tunnels unscathed so easily? This is another one of the minigames I have never really beaten.
It’s funny, I never really had problems with any of these. Though Cat Hockey always stresses me out to the point where I spend most of my time neurotically re-freezing the other player in order to give myself some time.
I've no idea how I did this but first time I did the boom twin escort challenges I somehow did them both on my first attempt. Your no#1 choice however Miharu...make sure there are no small children or breakable objects in the room.
SCREW ALL THESE. I'm with you on all your opinions on these missions, and you even experienced my demolition derby rage firsthand not too long ago lmfao! Let's hope Toys for Bob have fixed the controls and physics for these challenges in "Reignited," because they certainly deserve tweaking!
Just now noticed the (dis)honorable mentions. Here are some more notes: 1. Nancy on Icy Peak and the tunnels on Seashell Shore were incredibly frustrating, and they're on my top 5 most annoying challenges in this game. Especially Seashell Shore, due to the fact that you need to catch all rhynocs at once. At least in Dino Mines you can take several tries for those chickens, and it's only a bonus for a skill point. 2. The cat witches were also very hard, but the skill point coming from shooting the windows made it much easier (especially after you get the extra hit point from the 3rd Sparx level), since it fills up your hit points. 3. The skateboard racing does have a serious learning curve and took me a lot of time to get used to (now I can beat those easily), but racing the disc yetis in the snowboard course in the super bonus round makes the Lost Fleet races look like child's play. 4. Another thing that just jumped in my mind is shooting those damn submarines in the Lost Fleet acid lake (and the super bonus round). Not only do they turn a lot, but it also takes time for a good enough lock-on, not to mention those damn mines (which are thankfully not in the super bonus round).
I'm only a minute into this video, but I do have a note. The boxing challenge (which I had no difficulty controlling) can only be 2-player if you already have both the eggs of it in your atlas. Otherwise, the big yeti is controlled by AI, even if you have another controller plugged in.
Don't remember the name of the challenge but it was the one where you had to follow the big guy to his secret hideout, and every once in a while he would turn around and try to spot you.
The top 1 really is a pain on my side! But I think you should have talked about the ones with Hunter where we have those skate challenges. I swear, that cheetah really doesn't want us to pass both the orb and egg challenges.
Oh my gosh. I totally agree with #1. I just beat YOTD and I took an hour to complete it. My whole family was sick of me screaming at it. Hoping so many of the frustrating controls will be better in reignited. Totally agree with the list
Nice list, and yes Agent 9 is torture to play At least his mission in haunted tomb was top down so you can at least see all the enemies. Since we both have a love for Spyro I’m wondering if you’d enjoy my lists
"You're doomed!" is honestly one of the hardest eggs aside from Yeti boxing. Ironically the autoscroll does Agent 9 justice against the Bailey Gang and I consider it a cake walk compared to everything else involving him. I always thought the Sheila challenge in Spooky Swamp reminded me of the alchemist orb and the tunnels are up there too because they always take me so long to do.
I think the wack a mole challenge with Bentley got me to rage quit a few times. There were moments the dang gnomes got in my way. (Which is most of the time) the challenge wouldn’t have been bad if it wasn’t for the timer.
#1. Bentley boxing #2+ All Bentley challenges where you have to walk. (So Clunky and slow!) #3. seashell shores sheila (hate her theme too) #4. All escort missions in any game EVER! (at least she got hit with an egg when you won) #5. maybe the Lost Fleet Sub Mission or, Bamboo Terrace rhynocs shooting....I sucked at aiming.
The ones i had most trouble with in spyro 3 were the bentley boxing challenge, any of the agent 9 shooting challenges, and the tank challenge. Oh and protecting nancy the skater.
Bluto's shark submarine mini boss gave me the most trouble. I'd always miss the timing of shooting that rhynoc to stop him rebuilding the subs health as well as fail to outrun those snapping jaws......oh jeeze I can just hear them now in hd
OOOOOHH GOD THE BOXING CHALLENGE! >_< and If if that wasnt bad enough, MediEvil 2 Did had a boxing challenge of its own, and the game was,....Also made in 2000,.... *X-Files theme* Also I ACTUALLY Had no idea you could do that with the 2nd Controller Until now! THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH XD!!! I also really hated the slide in Crystal Islands. T_T
I was just informed the cheat doesn't work until after you've beaten the challenge, which everyone conveniently forgot to mention. So I guess it's pointless.
Finally! Someone who hates the demolition derby as much as I do! Seriously, it was the one task that kept me away from the 100% for about a year, until a friend of mine beat it for me.
I drew this pixel Squirtle Yeah, I get how you feel. I haven’t played this game seriously in over a year now, and I’d like to at least complete the story again before reignited...
My 5 most hated: 1) Hovercraft game in Haunted tomb 2) Agent 9s doom section on Fireworks factory 3) Submarine shooter in lost fleet 4) Bentley’s boxing 5) Bentley’s whack a mole
Once you get the hang of Agent 9 movement and strafing, his missions are a breeze, aside from the Dino Mines autoscroller. Same goes for the hover tank. I think racing the yetis with the skateboard in the bonus world made me the most infuriated. Edit: We could say the whole bonus world is an egg challenge, since the second Sorceress fight drops you an unique egg! If I recall correctly. 🤔
The Agent 9 mission on Fireworks Factory sadly was one of the eggs I couldn’t find when I was a child back in the day. That’s probably why I hold such a grudge on“You’re Still Doomed” I also feel ignorant for never figuring out Jack And The Beanstalk 2 on Charmed Ridge.
Also tip for Agent 9 Fw Factory- Move slow as you can to hit the rhynocs as soon as the doors open, but no closer . You can shoot them before you move. Aim for the ceilings where they will drop. Shoot the walls so bullets ricochet to hit the rhynocs behind walls. Took me ~30 min to get it done this way, but way worth it over frustration I had as a kid. Snipe!!
I don't care how many times I 100% spyro 3, I always dread the sgt. Byrd cat witch mission, the beach & dino mines water tunnels, and especially the tank cannon one!!! Kinda reminds me that that last mission is keeping me from finishing it on my ps3......I just don't feel like doing it again right now....
My hack for bently's 2nd mission was to back out of there twice after getting him down a few notches. The trick was also avoid gettin hit.. And man that was a pain in the arse.. That mission sucked pokeballs compared to others.. Literally chucked my controller onto the floor.
cat hockey is pretty chill if you just keep freezing the rhynoc, and make it a priority to freeze him immediately after he thaws, putting cats in the goal while he's stuck. I found the whack a mole challenge very frustrating.
Every time I see your intro avatar I keep thinking you're trying to hide your chest. My apologies. lol But yeah, this is a solid list of frustrations I'm not looking forward to in Reignited. x-x
For #3..... I remember I was almost on the brink of tossing the controller at the television LMAO. For some reason, I always replayed that challenge over and over back in 2004, but as a 21 year old in 2018.... It was harder than absolute hell...
Did the original have the option where you could move left or right with the r and l buttons in the Egyptian challenge? It’s been eons since I played that challenge in the original. When playing the reignited trilogy, though, I managed to beat that challenge fairly easily because we could move left or right, like you can with Sparks.
I know it's not an egg challenge but the snow boarding race on the bonus round is the worst thing ever. I replayed YOTD earlier this year and wanted to rip my hair out at this. I'm 23 years old for pete sake. That shit takes hard to a whole other level
I think there was a trick to that, but if you get swamped by all the other racers it's fucking impossible. (I think the trick was actually to just always be doing tricks to boost your speed gauge)
I'd say that the Giant Slide egg was worse than the Wack-a-mole. I mean good *GOD* there was no momentum control that damn thing. And whose bright idea was it to put *gems* on that son-of-a-bitch anyway? Ooh... it just gets me steamed thinking about it.
@@PatrickCervantez my first attempt on the slide (on the new spyro 3) I did it correctly on the first try. Probably because I died SO MANY TIMES in the original spyro, I finally was like, I've got this lol
For me, The haunted tomb second challange was kind of fun for me. The enemy always did the same thing, so after a few tries, i was able to figure out the algorythim of how the enemies moved, so i could hide from one enemy, while beeing able to adjust my aim, so i could kill another, it got me so engaged. I loved it! Although, when i replayed it a few years ago, i realized how clunky and awkward the controlles were, and when you try to rush through the game, its the most horrible challange ever.
Just finished watching. A few more notes: 1. About 1 and 4, I didn't struggle with them at all. The L1 and R1 buttons are good to strafe left and right without changing your face direction, and you can safely shoot from a distance, as enemies either don't attack you, or they're slow enough for you to avoid with strafing. Plus Agent 9's lasers bounce off walls, which made his challenges much easier for me. 2. 2 and 3 absolutely annoyed me. Especially 2. That was the hardest part for me in that 3rd game. 3. One challenge that I'm surprised you didn't mention is protecting Nancy the ice dancer from hockey players, in Icy Peak. It's like another escort mission, but with Ice physics. Annoying as f___.
I found the strafing in the Demolition Derby to be incredibly slow and not effective at all. There doesn't seem to be any safe distance with Agent 9 missions, the enemies all have a longer range than I would think. The Nancy challenge is in the (dis)honorable mentions!
yeah, my gf at the time was also struggling with it like you. I had to complete those for her. Here are a few tips: - Hold on to the shoot button. That'll fire the lasers constantly, which helped a lot because of the bounce-off and the enemies having only one hit point, plus most of the enemies either move too slow, or take too long to even fire a shot (especially those dinosaurs). - For the ninja mission, I've always been shooting from the entrance. When the gun ninjas start shooting, strafe behind the walls, and when the stick ninjas start attacking, move backwards. That's more helpful than it sounds, because they run pretty slow, so hitting them wasn't hard (not to me, at least). - Also about the ninja mission, there's a power-up you can pick up by shooting a red box on the ceiling in one of the rooms. That doesn't bounce off walls, but it shoots much faster, like a tommy-gun.
Another very helpful thing with the demolition challenge is that those tanks are much wider than the pots, and that the rhynocs are dumb enough to only attack you if you come too close, so I managed to get them each easily by constantly shooting and strafing a bit until I get on the exact line to pass the pot and hit them. Hopefully this also helps in the reignited trilogy :)
The Spooky Swamp escort missions are the bane of my existence XD I love the level Spooky Swamp, but those mini games can fuck off. Sorry to put it bluntly, I dread having to do those escort mini-games everytime I play Year of the Dragon.
Speedways were the worst to me. I wanna explore the level but I hate losing challenges. The honey speedway was my favorite one though. Next was any race because Id hit something, lose my speed and lose the race. But all in all, the challenges made everything so much more fun.
The very last one (#1 in this video), I just stand back and angle the cameras/cannon at a point where I don't even have to fight the enemies with cannons. Just keep shooting and eventually you will take them down without really taking hits. Takes a little longer but its fun :) Did this in the old version of Spyro 3 and the new version. I hate the boxing match, the dinosaurs with Agent 9, whack a mole, the fast water tunnel, saving the twins (Sheila), Racing the Rhynocs/Hunter, and trying to save those dang pandas by shooting the enemies around them.
Personally, I kind of like the Cat Hockey. I don't consider so much hard as easy-to-lose. Mildly annoying at best. I do, however, have a lot to say about Agent 9. Or rather, 2 specific complaints to give. 1.) I resent the strafing controls. Particularly, I hate how he won't stop moving (same goes for the tanks and Sparx). It makes combat tedious, and I'm glad Insomniac figured it out for R&C 2. 2.) His controls in Dino Mines. I detest how inconsistent the reticle is in how it controls. Up/Down are inverted while Left/Right are normal. It throws me off every time. Instead of focusing on shooting, I'm focusing on making sure I know which way is which. The face that you can't adjust it really infuriates me. I hope Reignited fixes that. Good video as always!
My list of 5 is probably 1. demolition derby 2. the wack-a-mole game 3. yeti boxing (when trying to get the skill point) 4. the slide in crystal islands 5. the firefly escort mission
when i was a kid i didnt have a ps1 memory card so when i played spyro 3 i had to it all in one run. and agent 9 is the level that would always end my 6 year old self's adventure. even when i finally 100 percent completed the game years later on my psp the agent 9 levels still annoyed me more than any other.
Ugh. The demolition derby. Agent 9 missions. And the sound of those fireflies saying “OW.” Nightmares. I also hate the Sheila challenge with the sand castle.
@@MiharuTheFox Of course! Just to see the world famous bone dance 😂 (which I didn't replay like a million times of course) haha. Greetings from the UK and best wishes for the next few videos :) I'm sure they'll be just as good :) Oh, by the way, you've earned a new subscriber 👍
Spyro: "My bad! I can't beat into some egg challenges it's really luck! Seriously not all egg challenges are easier but some of them are way too difficult to beat!" Sparx: "Yeah I guess you're right, pal! They're unusual! They're really difficult, frustrating and irritating as well!"
Every time I re-start Spyro 3 I think about the hardest bits of the game for me: the skill point in Frozen Altars and the Snowboard challenge in the Super Bonus Round. Oh man...
@@juno_98 Wow sai che sono italiana? xD Comunque l'ho rigiocato di recente e ho constatato che è un po' come la sfida dei gabbiani nel Circuito Marino: o parti bene o è finita. Nel caso di quella dello snowboard, bisogna fare un trick che ti dia l'intera barra turbo nel primissimo round, se no è impossibile in modo legit.
@@LadyKappa95 mi ricordo che eri nelle live di Red di Spyro, un po' di tempo fa Comunque sarò io, ma non ho mai avuto problemi con quella gara. La missione in cui bisogna scortare le lucciole d'altra parte... e anche i F****TI carri armati nella tomba maledetta
@@juno_98 Strano, io con tutte queste sfide che dici ho semplicemente imparato il trucchetto e le faccio senza problemi xD La gara dei gabbiani la odio...
I think my least favorite is the Bentley whack a mole mission. Good GOD it is annoying! The first couple of moles aren't hard to get, but once those stupid gnomes start popping up it's a *nightmare* . If the hammer slightly touches one, or if one of them decides to run into it while it's on the ground, you're out. Not to mention they always seem to pop up right next to a mole as soon as it comes out. 😡
They made the Demolition Derby easier in Reignited. In the original game, I couldn't even beat the first round, but in the remake, I beat BOTH rounds on my first try!
I didn't even do any fancy run and punch strategy with yeti boxing, but it was still easy for me. I just alternated between two jabs, then a body shot. By the time the jabs were done, the yeti was blocking his face, so the body shot usually got in. First try 2 rounder
I’m one of the very few who loves the boxing challenge. Yes, it’s challenging and the controls are clunky, but it’s just hard enough to be fun. I love the competitive, you vs. the machine challenges. In fact I look forward to year of the dragon just for that challenge. I also love the cat hockey for the same reason, it’s not an easy, mindless challenge. Frozen Altars is my favorite level of all the Spyro games. I hate the challenges like the beans in charmed ridge and the cowlicks in zephyr where you’re just running around planting stuff. I do hate the tank challenge though. I’m with you on that one.
Ugh, I hated that Bently Boxing thing too, very annoying. And Agent 9, well that guy was my bad introduction to FPS gameplay from playing the original back then heh. Aww I like the Cat Hockey mini game. The Colossus Hocky one I didn't care for that much, only amusing part was when ya flame the appointment and he does this over the top fall back animation. My most hated challenge in Spyro 3, technically not an Egg one, is the Yeti Sled racing in the Super Bonus Level. It took me YEARS to beat that legit without having to use the Blue Star glitch to beat it in the original.
I'm starting to think you and I are the same person. 3 vids are all I watched and each time you managed to bring up a past memory that I struggled withim im the spyro games. And. I agree with you. The Bentley boxing isn't that bad. Actually it was my favorite one for a long time. The dragon you get for the cat hockey is the reason I love that challenge though. But the tank thing in haunted towers can die in a hole. I got so many game overs from that challenge alone.
Check out the Reignited version of this video! ➡️ th-cam.com/video/M8shRU6J-_A/w-d-xo.html
At least the dog doesn’t say, “Trouble with the cannons, eh?” 😂
At this point, they could know what they doing. 😄
He’s Canadian. What ele?
In the Reignited Trilogy the list would be
5: Lost Fleet Skateboarding
4: Lost Fleet Skateboarding
3: Lost Fleet Skateboarding
2: Lost Fleet Skateboarding
1: Lost Fleet Skateboarding
I had this issue yesterday, lost many hours trying to complete this one
It was less the challenge itself and more trying to get that stupid skill point
That challenge made me quit Spyro for a month.
It was the worst challenge for me as kid by far.
O hate it so much because I hate camera angles and movement around with skate. One thing that I really don't like on game.
I don’t like the Crystal Island challenge “whack a mole”
When I was younger it was hard but its easy now it just takes a few tries.
Same!
Fireworks factory
A terrible mission that one is.
I didn't have the original Spyro 3 back then so I only played it in it's reignited form and oh. my. GOD. It was so fucking hard to time it perfectly.
I love how you said ALL of the Agent 9 challenges under one level. Yeah, I haven't had a single mission with him that isn't difficult. Hate the ninjas in Fireworks factory. At least I'd gotten good at zeroing in on the boxes so they don't spawn endlessly. For me, the boxing for sure. Sgt. Byrd at Charmed Ridge (damn cat witches!), the snowboard level (I was stuck on that for ages and it took me a while to finish the game because of it), and some others I'm forgetting.
I absolutely expected the slide challenges to be on here somewhere. I never thought Cat Hockey was that hard myself.
Yeti Boxing, on the other hand; I ENVY you for never having trouble with it as a kid. I swear the computer can read my mind.
That's the thing, I probably did have trouble, I just don't remember it.
ZehOverseer Agreed. Having played through this game just over a year ago, I can honestly say that yeti challenge is very enraging (especially round 2). To quote the Internet: “The computer is a cheating bastard” I honestly remember Bentley’s brother’s voice line, upon failing this challenge, better than even some of Spyro’s own lines.
I never actually had trouble with Bentley Boxing as a kid but Haunted Tombs cannon one, when you said that I shivered from how often I raged during that as a kid
I freaking hate racing the rhynocs with the skateboard
Oh yeah? Try racing HUNTER.
For the Haunted Tomb one I ran out of lives, so I went to Midday gardens and killed a million of those bunnies so I'd have enough lives. I think got 15 lives and figured that was enough. It took THIRTEEN of them
Pause the game....on a PS4......R2 L2 R2 L2 Up Up Up Up Circle......99 lives
I absolutely agree with your list! I'm glad someone finally mentioned the Haunted Tomb level, literally the bane of my existence as a kid.

As soon as it starts, I inch forward so it doesn’t trigger the other tanks to move, then I nudge the aim and fire .

amazing video as always :D cant wait for the reignited trilogy, only 26 more days
*496 attempts later*
"Finally I shot the last one"
*Get shot in that back*
"What TF!"
*Starts to cry and rage quits*
My top 5 Hated Spyro 3 Minigames:
5. Blowing Up the Rhynoc Base (Seashell Shore): I can't remember if it was 30 or 60 seconds, but I hate how long it takes Sheila to stomp on the sand blocks and turrets. Also, if you're not careful, you could miss the turret entirely and get hit by a Rhynoc, wasting time! Low on list because it's doable.

3. Escort the Twins (Spooky Swamp): Like you said, the fact that these guys couldn't walk in a straight path was the most irritating part of this minigame.
2. Rhynocs at the Demolition (Haunted Tomb): I've never beaten this one. That's how bad it is for me.
1. Reach the End of the Tunnel (Sunny Shore and Dino Mines): How did the eggs get to end of the tunnels unscathed so easily? This is another one of the minigames I have never really beaten.
Escort the twins is easy because they go in the same path each time
Did Eric just insult my viewers?? D:
Miharu The Fox I believe he did.
My god he’s getting revenge from all the dieting work he has to do!
Oh, so now it's my ass on the line?
You've gone too far Eric, I'm taking away your food privileges.
Yes now I can replace him
Also give me the food payment
It’s funny, I never really had problems with any of these. Though Cat Hockey always stresses me out to the point where I spend most of my time neurotically re-freezing the other player in order to give myself some time.
I've no idea how I did this but first time I did the boom twin escort challenges I somehow did them both on my first attempt.
Your no#1 choice however Miharu...make sure there are no small children or breakable objects in the room.
@peter pan This was nearly 20 years ago but don't call me out for lying when I'm pretty sure I did.
@peter pan I'm not expecting you to believe me. Like I said nearly 20 years ago so there's no reason to be rude with me.
I actually loved the cat hockey. Though i can see your point. My least favorite is the boxing, with the tank derby a close second.
Me too, cats were pretty cute!
Boxing is easy if you plug in a second controller.
The cat hockey challenge is pretty damn easy
Agreed.
Great video Miharu!
SCREW ALL THESE. I'm with you on all your opinions on these missions, and you even experienced my demolition derby rage firsthand not too long ago lmfao! Let's hope Toys for Bob have fixed the controls and physics for these challenges in "Reignited," because they certainly deserve tweaking!
Just now noticed the (dis)honorable mentions. Here are some more notes:
1. Nancy on Icy Peak and the tunnels on Seashell Shore were incredibly frustrating, and they're on my top 5 most annoying challenges in this game. Especially Seashell Shore, due to the fact that you need to catch all rhynocs at once. At least in Dino Mines you can take several tries for those chickens, and it's only a bonus for a skill point.

Ah, no wonder it didn't work when Marc was trying to do it. I've never actually tried it myself anyway, I just heard about it.
Don't remember the name of the challenge but it was the one where you had to follow the big guy to his secret hideout, and every once in a while he would turn around and try to spot you.
That was Agent Zero's mission in Spyro 2.
Another Miharu vidoe? WITH memes? Hit me up girl!
The top 1 really is a pain on my side! But I think you should have talked about the ones with Hunter where we have those skate challenges. I swear, that cheetah really doesn't want us to pass both the orb and egg challenges.
Oh my gosh. I totally agree with #1. I just beat YOTD and I took an hour to complete it. My whole family was sick of me screaming at it. Hoping so many of the frustrating controls will be better in reignited. Totally agree with the list
Nice list, and yes Agent 9 is torture to play At least his mission in haunted tomb was top down so you can at least see all the enemies. Since we both have a love for Spyro I’m wondering if you’d enjoy my lists
Lets hope Reignition Trilogy will fix these annoying levels
"You're doomed!" is honestly one of the hardest eggs aside from Yeti boxing. Ironically the autoscroll does Agent 9 justice against the Bailey Gang and I consider it a cake walk compared to everything else involving him. I always thought the Sheila challenge in Spooky Swamp reminded me of the alchemist orb and the tunnels are up there too because they always take me so long to do.
I think the wack a mole challenge with Bentley got me to rage quit a few times. There were moments the dang gnomes got in my way. (Which is most of the time) the challenge wouldn’t have been bad if it wasn’t for the timer.
Here to remind you how much I love your channel :)
Your intro is soo perfect! Nice job!
Funny I recall exactly the same challenges ! Feels good to see we are numerous to share these momeries
It would be the twin dragons for me!
Agree with the demolition that is probably the only Spyro challenge that made me rage as a kid.
#1. Bentley boxing
#2+ All Bentley challenges where you have to walk. (So Clunky and slow!)
#3. seashell shores sheila (hate her theme too)
#4. All escort missions in any game EVER! (at least she got hit with an egg when you won)
#5. maybe the Lost Fleet Sub Mission or, Bamboo Terrace rhynocs shooting....I sucked at aiming.
This entire list is facts! Love it!
The ones i had most trouble with in spyro 3 were the bentley boxing challenge, any of the agent 9 shooting challenges, and the tank challenge. Oh and protecting nancy the skater.
Ugh I wanted to slap her lol Tell her, stay in my sight!
Bluto's shark submarine mini boss gave me the most trouble. I'd always miss the timing of shooting that rhynoc to stop him rebuilding the subs health as well as fail to outrun those snapping jaws......oh jeeze I can just hear them now in hd
The dragons, were a nightmare and whack a mole.
OOOOOHH GOD THE BOXING CHALLENGE! >_<
and If if that wasnt bad enough, MediEvil 2 Did had a boxing challenge of its own, and the game was,....Also made in 2000,....
*X-Files theme*
Also I ACTUALLY Had no idea you could do that with the 2nd Controller Until now! THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH XD!!!
I also really hated the slide in Crystal Islands. T_T
I was just informed the cheat doesn't work until after you've beaten the challenge, which everyone conveniently forgot to mention. So I guess it's pointless.
Finally! Someone who hates the demolition derby as much as I do! Seriously, it was the one task that kept me away from the 100% for about a year, until a friend of mine beat it for me.
I cant remember a lot of stuff from spyro 3... I really need to play it again
I drew this pixel Squirtle Yeah, I get how you feel. I haven’t played this game seriously in over a year now, and I’d like to at least complete the story again before reignited...
I'm happy that Agent 9's levels are now actually playable on the remake
My 5 most hated:
1) Hovercraft game in Haunted tomb
2) Agent 9s doom section on Fireworks factory
3) Submarine shooter in lost fleet
4) Bentley’s boxing
5) Bentley’s whack a mole
Once you get the hang of Agent 9 movement and strafing, his missions are a breeze, aside from the Dino Mines autoscroller. Same goes for the hover tank. I think racing the yetis with the skateboard in the bonus world made me the most infuriated.
Edit: We could say the whole bonus world is an egg challenge, since the second Sorceress fight drops you an unique egg! If I recall correctly. 🤔
Had to check, the last egg you get from her from the second encounter is unique and contains twins, Yin and Yan. ^^
The Agent 9 mission on Fireworks Factory sadly was one of the eggs I couldn’t find when I was a child back in the day. That’s probably why I hold such a grudge on“You’re Still Doomed”
I also feel ignorant for never figuring out Jack And The Beanstalk 2 on Charmed Ridge.
Frozen Altars is probably my favorite level too! Absolutely love the music and characters!
Also tip for Agent 9 Fw Factory- Move slow as you can to hit the rhynocs as soon as the doors open, but no closer . You can shoot them before you move. Aim for the ceilings where they will drop. Shoot the walls so bullets ricochet to hit the rhynocs behind walls. Took me ~30 min to get it done this way, but way worth it over frustration I had as a kid. Snipe!!
I don't care how many times I 100% spyro 3, I always dread the sgt. Byrd cat witch mission, the beach & dino mines water tunnels, and especially the tank cannon one!!! Kinda reminds me that that last mission is keeping me from finishing it on my ps3......I just don't feel like doing it again right now....
My hack for bently's 2nd mission was to back out of there twice after getting him down a few notches.
The trick was also avoid gettin hit..
And man that was a pain in the arse..
That mission sucked pokeballs compared to others..
Literally chucked my controller onto the floor.
keep up with the good work!
The firefly mission and demolition derby challenges give me anxiety 😌
which ones??
cat hockey is pretty chill if you just keep freezing the rhynoc, and make it a priority to freeze him immediately after he thaws, putting cats in the goal while he's stuck. I found the whack a mole challenge very frustrating.
I'm happy about the fact, that I'm not the only one having trouble with cat hockey! I rage more to that than boxing..
Every time I see your intro avatar I keep thinking you're trying to hide your chest.
My apologies. lol
But yeah, this is a solid list of frustrations I'm not looking forward to in Reignited. x-x
Ugh! All these challenges were a pain! And we're going to experience them again soon!
The demolition derby is why I never 100% this game
For #3..... I remember I was almost on the brink of tossing the controller at the television LMAO.
For some reason, I always replayed that challenge over and over back in 2004, but as a 21 year old in 2018.... It was harder than absolute hell...
Luckily it's easier in Reignited. Helps to know the pattern too.
Did the original have the option where you could move left or right with the r and l buttons in the Egyptian challenge? It’s been eons since I played that challenge in the original. When playing the reignited trilogy, though, I managed to beat that challenge fairly easily because we could move left or right, like you can with Sparks.
I know it's not an egg challenge but the snow boarding race on the bonus round is the worst thing ever. I replayed YOTD earlier this year and wanted to rip my hair out at this. I'm 23 years old for pete sake. That shit takes hard to a whole other level
I've never beaten that challenge and I don't care to since I know what the end "reward" is anyway.
That shit seems to only get harder with age. And that challenge is really annoyingly hard.
I think there was a trick to that, but if you get swamped by all the other racers it's fucking impossible. (I think the trick was actually to just always be doing tricks to boost your speed gauge)
Zuzu Covert Its a must to boost all the time to win. The hard part is to not fall off the course while doing all dem flips.
PoeticWhisper I did it yesterday and I agree it sucks
Your #1 was the one time I got a game over in this, so we're in agreement there.
Wow. No whack a mole? I loathed whack a mole.
It's in the dishonorable mentions.
I'd say that the Giant Slide egg was worse than the Wack-a-mole. I mean good *GOD* there was no momentum control that damn thing. And whose bright idea was it to put *gems* on that son-of-a-bitch anyway? Ooh... it just gets me steamed thinking about it.
YES! I AGREE!
@@PatrickCervantez my first attempt on the slide (on the new spyro 3) I did it correctly on the first try. Probably because I died SO MANY TIMES in the original spyro, I finally was like, I've got this lol
For me, The haunted tomb second challange was kind of fun for me. The enemy always did the same thing, so after a few tries, i was able to figure out the algorythim of how the enemies moved, so i could hide from one enemy, while beeing able to adjust my aim, so i could kill another, it got me so engaged. I loved it! Although, when i replayed it a few years ago, i realized how clunky and awkward the controlles were, and when you try to rush through the game, its the most horrible challange ever.
Anyone else notice that the fireflies in Spooky Swamp *had NO eyes?* I never noticed that until _just_ now. Holy Moly.
Just finished watching. A few more notes:
1. About 1 and 4, I didn't struggle with them at all. The L1 and R1 buttons are good to strafe left and right without changing your face direction, and you can safely shoot from a distance, as enemies either don't attack you, or they're slow enough for you to avoid with strafing. Plus Agent 9's lasers bounce off walls, which made his challenges much easier for me.
2. 2 and 3 absolutely annoyed me. Especially 2. That was the hardest part for me in that 3rd game.
3. One challenge that I'm surprised you didn't mention is protecting Nancy the ice dancer from hockey players, in Icy Peak. It's like another escort mission, but with Ice physics. Annoying as f___.
I found the strafing in the Demolition Derby to be incredibly slow and not effective at all. There doesn't seem to be any safe distance with Agent 9 missions, the enemies all have a longer range than I would think.
The Nancy challenge is in the (dis)honorable mentions!
yeah, my gf at the time was also struggling with it like you. I had to complete those for her.
Here are a few tips:
- Hold on to the shoot button. That'll fire the lasers constantly, which helped a lot because of the bounce-off and the enemies having only one hit point, plus most of the enemies either move too slow, or take too long to even fire a shot (especially those dinosaurs).
- For the ninja mission, I've always been shooting from the entrance. When the gun ninjas start shooting, strafe behind the walls, and when the stick ninjas start attacking, move backwards. That's more helpful than it sounds, because they run pretty slow, so hitting them wasn't hard (not to me, at least).
- Also about the ninja mission, there's a power-up you can pick up by shooting a red box on the ceiling in one of the rooms. That doesn't bounce off walls, but it shoots much faster, like a tommy-gun.
Another very helpful thing with the demolition challenge is that those tanks are much wider than the pots, and that the rhynocs are dumb enough to only attack you if you come too close, so I managed to get them each easily by constantly shooting and strafing a bit until I get on the exact line to pass the pot and hit them. Hopefully this also helps in the reignited trilogy :)
honestly i never got to play the 3rd spyro but hopin with the trilogy remake i can try it myself cause i only played a demo
The Spooky Swamp escort missions are the bane of my existence XD I love the level Spooky Swamp, but those mini games can fuck off. Sorry to put it bluntly, I dread having to do those escort mini-games everytime I play Year of the Dragon.
I have the same thing I hate the challenges of Frozen Altars but I love the level
I enjoyed playing the challenges in Spyro trilogy but yeah they can be annoying after trying so many times to complete them without having success.
I didn’t know boxing was multiplayer, explains why I don’t remember it, we always had both controllers built in
0:53 *I really wished I knew about that trick when I tried to 100% Spyro 3*
Speedways were the worst to me. I wanna explore the level but I hate losing challenges. The honey speedway was my favorite one though. Next was any race because Id hit something, lose my speed and lose the race. But all in all, the challenges made everything so much more fun.
I used to hate those speedway levels then when I got older I learned how to do them and they were easy.
Speedways I usually do last in all the Spyro games :D
@@articgoneape me too
The very last one (#1 in this video), I just stand back and angle the cameras/cannon at a point where I don't even have to fight the enemies with cannons. Just keep shooting and eventually you will take them down without really taking hits. Takes a little longer but its fun :) Did this in the old version of Spyro 3 and the new version.
I hate the boxing match, the dinosaurs with Agent 9, whack a mole, the fast water tunnel, saving the twins (Sheila), Racing the Rhynocs/Hunter, and trying to save those dang pandas by shooting the enemies around them.
Personally, I kind of like the Cat Hockey. I don't consider so much hard as easy-to-lose. Mildly annoying at best.
I do, however, have a lot to say about Agent 9. Or rather, 2 specific complaints to give. 1.) I resent the strafing controls. Particularly, I hate how he won't stop moving (same goes for the tanks and Sparx). It makes combat tedious, and I'm glad Insomniac figured it out for R&C 2.
2.) His controls in Dino Mines. I detest how inconsistent the reticle is in how it controls. Up/Down are inverted while Left/Right are normal. It throws me off every time. Instead of focusing on shooting, I'm focusing on making sure I know which way is which. The face that you can't adjust it really infuriates me. I hope Reignited fixes that.
Good video as always!
You didn't finish your comment
Hopefully some of the controls are fixed in the remakes.
My list of 5 is probably
1. demolition derby
2. the wack-a-mole game
3. yeti boxing (when trying to get the skill point)
4. the slide in crystal islands
5. the firefly escort mission
1:18 God, for fucking 2 hours I was frozen stuck on that Agent 9 level.....
The 2 dragons in fireworks… getting smacked by them and dying when they hit you too many times… horrible… just horrible…
I think the controls will definitely be better in the reignited, so these challenged will still be challenging but more fair
when i was a kid i didnt have a ps1 memory card so when i played spyro 3 i had to it all in one run. and agent 9 is the level that would always end my 6 year old self's adventure. even when i finally 100 percent completed the game years later on my psp the agent 9 levels still annoyed me more than any other.
The fireflies challenge was really easy once you learn the path that they take, since they always take the same path
Yeah, same goes for the Alchemist. But it's the tediousness of learning the path that contributes. Just glad they made it easier in Reignited.
Ugh. The demolition derby. Agent 9 missions. And the sound of those fireflies saying “OW.” Nightmares.
I also hate the Sheila challenge with the sand castle.
Number one always made my brother go crazy, he always saved it for last when it came to completing the entire game!
What challenge are you looking forward to doing on the reginited trilogy in spyro 3? Love all your spyro related videos ☺ Great work 👌
That's an easy one, Sgt. Byrd bone-collecting in Enchanted Towers, of course!
@@MiharuTheFox Of course! Just to see the world famous bone dance 😂 (which I didn't replay like a million times of course) haha. Greetings from the UK and best wishes for the next few videos :) I'm sure they'll be just as good :) Oh, by the way, you've earned a new subscriber 👍
Thank you!
Spyro: "My bad! I can't beat into some egg challenges it's really luck! Seriously not all egg challenges are easier but some of them are way too difficult to beat!"
Sparx: "Yeah I guess you're right, pal! They're unusual! They're really difficult, frustrating and irritating as well!"
Every time I re-start Spyro 3 I think about the hardest bits of the game for me: the skill point in Frozen Altars and the Snowboard challenge in the Super Bonus Round. Oh man...
Non credo di aver mai capito questa avversità contro lo snowboard nel livello super-bonus, mi pare uguale a tutte le altre gare su skateboard
@@juno_98 Wow sai che sono italiana? xD Comunque l'ho rigiocato di recente e ho constatato che è un po' come la sfida dei gabbiani nel Circuito Marino: o parti bene o è finita. Nel caso di quella dello snowboard, bisogna fare un trick che ti dia l'intera barra turbo nel primissimo round, se no è impossibile in modo legit.
@@LadyKappa95 mi ricordo che eri nelle live di Red di Spyro, un po' di tempo fa
Comunque sarò io, ma non ho mai avuto problemi con quella gara. La missione in cui bisogna scortare le lucciole d'altra parte... e anche i F****TI carri armati nella tomba maledetta
@@juno_98 Strano, io con tutte queste sfide che dici ho semplicemente imparato il trucchetto e le faccio senza problemi xD La gara dei gabbiani la odio...
I think my least favorite is the Bentley whack a mole mission. Good GOD it is annoying! The first couple of moles aren't hard to get, but once those stupid gnomes start popping up it's a *nightmare* . If the hammer slightly touches one, or if one of them decides to run into it while it's on the ground, you're out. Not to mention they always seem to pop up right next to a mole as soon as it comes out. 😡
Most accurate list on yt.
They made the Demolition Derby easier in Reignited. In the original game, I couldn't even beat the first round, but in the remake, I beat BOTH rounds on my first try!
Surprised you didn't include the Fireworks Factory twin dragons quest.
Because I like that challenge in the original. In Reignited though... ugh.
I didn't even do any fancy run and punch strategy with yeti boxing, but it was still easy for me. I just alternated between two jabs, then a body shot. By the time the jabs were done, the yeti was blocking his face, so the body shot usually got in. First try 2 rounder
And I did it first try in Reignited but it doesn't make it any less annoying.
Hahahahahaha that Home Vids reference was hilarious
Weirdly, I actually remembered really liking agent 9's levels when I was 8.
I’m one of the very few who loves the boxing challenge. Yes, it’s challenging and the controls are clunky, but it’s just hard enough to be fun. I love the competitive, you vs. the machine challenges. In fact I look forward to year of the dragon just for that challenge. I also love the cat hockey for the same reason, it’s not an easy, mindless challenge. Frozen Altars is my favorite level of all the Spyro games. I hate the challenges like the beans in charmed ridge and the cowlicks in zephyr where you’re just running around planting stuff. I do hate the tank challenge though. I’m with you on that one.
Ugh, I hated that Bently Boxing thing too, very annoying. And Agent 9, well that guy was my bad introduction to FPS gameplay from playing the original back then heh. Aww I like the Cat Hockey mini game. The Colossus Hocky one I didn't care for that much, only amusing part was when ya flame the appointment and he does this over the top fall back animation. My most hated challenge in Spyro 3, technically not an Egg one, is the Yeti Sled racing in the Super Bonus Level. It took me YEARS to beat that legit without having to use the Blue Star glitch to beat it in the original.
I hope they refine and polish the Gameplay a bit in Spyro Reignited.
I'm starting to think you and I are the same person. 3 vids are all I watched and each time you managed to bring up a past memory that I struggled withim im the spyro games. And. I agree with you. The Bentley boxing isn't that bad. Actually it was my favorite one for a long time. The dragon you get for the cat hockey is the reason I love that challenge though. But the tank thing in haunted towers can die in a hole. I got so many game overs from that challenge alone.
When i get my flippers on that rotten bear...
Whack a mole was my favourite.
because i cracked myself up for whacking those Gnomes!!! XD
