Gulp's Overlook is the secret arena within the castle of Autumn Plains where Spyro and Gulp fought in Ripto's Rage, also where Ripto sits on his new throne as he watches Gulp chomp his enemies. (NOTE: There are two skill points, one for not getting wounded once and another one if you can hit Ripto with a rocket. Skill Points are sometimes useful)
Battle
Stage 1
The first portion of the battle has Gulp just charging at you. You can't do anything against him by yourself because he is a boss, so just charge away until some pterodactyls drop down Barrels. Once these barrels are dropped, Spyro will immediately charge one into Gulp before he has a chance to pick one up himself. If he does, he'll spew a wave of fire you'll have to jump over.
Stage 2
Next, Gulp starts shooting you with large energy balls from the large cannon things on his back. Keep moving at all times and watch their shadows to see where they are going to land. The pterodactyls will start dropping bombs now, too. Flame them into Gulp, and run away before they explode. If Gulp eats one, it'll cause him to explode balls of fire in all directions, but you can dodge this.
Stage 3
The pterodactyls soon start dropping little rockets. These rockets stay in your mouth and can be shot at Gulp from a distance. If Gulp gets one, he'll shoot it and it will home on you, forcing you to charge away until it explodes.
Stage 4
The pterodactyls start dropping things of all types, and Gulp is going to try and pick things up, destroy them, and use them against you as well because of this you need to hurt him before he hurts you, so speed is the key here.
