Spyro: Eternal Night (PS2) - Executioner Boss Fight Strategy

The Executioner in the "Concurrent Skies" is a damage sponge with three lethal patterns. Here's the reliable kill strategy.

Attack Patterns & Counters

Optimal Damage Rotation

1. Fire Breath (△) at max range → Aim for head/helmet (2x damage).
2. When he Charges → Glide behind → Charge Attack (□) (highest single-hit damage).
3. During Spin → Pillar dance until he stops → Fire Breath.
4. Collect Gems from destroyed pillars for health refills.

Key Upgrades (Before Fight)

• Fire Breath Range/Damage (Dragon Kata tree).
• Charge Attack Power (Combat tree).
• Health Bar Extensions (from previous dragon challenges).

Phase 2 (Low Health)

He adds a Ground Slam (jump → shockwave). Jump early when he leaves ground. Same pillar strategy.

Stay patient. He has ~3x normal boss HP. 5–8 minutes of disciplined play wins it.
