Yeah Gaul is the only boss in the series that has actually killed me.
I died about 3 times.
And on the 4th time the battle restarted after i killed him. (Was a glitch)
I was so pissed!

Cynder was quite easy as well. The only boss that I'd struggled with a bit was Gaul.

She meant final bosses in The Legend of Spyro not any of the other bosses from the series.

Gaul was the best boss of the three.

#8765 SpyroVSGanon100 20:01:05 03/05/2011
Well that's your opinion but i still think the final battle is the best boss battle of all time!

TEN is my least favorite of the three. The checkpoints are terrible.

Yea same here. Gaul was much more difficult than Malefor.
