How to unlock the S2 | Duck and Cover achievement in Spyro Reignited Trilogy - Definitive Guide

I can confirm that each of the three runs needs to be flawless. If you get hit by a bomb at any point you need to quit out and restart the level.

Edit - TwinTalisman says that killing yourself (by jumping into the water) restarts the whole challenge and resets this achievement. So no need to quit out and do it all over.

-

Start by clearing out every enemy in the level so the path is safe. This'll also give you enough spirits to unlock the super flame powerup in the gazebo, next to the end portal. Talk to the character next to the portal who will activate the challenge.

It consists of three stages where you have to activate the super flame and shoot at Bombo, who'll be holding the flags you raised through the level. The first time he's at the last flag you raised, the second time the second one, and the last time he'll be at the first flag you raised at the start of the level. He'll come down, talk to you, and then start a sequence where you have to follow him to the gazebo while he throws bombs at you.

The safe method is to take it slowly. There's no time limit, and he never moves backwards. Get close enough for him to throw a bomb and move back while he moves forwards each time. When you get to a certain point he'll throw the flag into the gazebo and move to the next flag.

Here's a clip of me completing the last stage of the challenge.

Is it just me or does Bombo always get stuck when you shoot him for the first time. Restarting the level didn't help.

EDIT: nvm. worked on the third try.

killing myself in the water worked for me too

you can use the raised platforms to push him along a little faster and still be safe from the bombs

This would be a bit harder if this challenge was the same difficulty as the original. I'm fairly sure in this version he doesn't close the doors and just waits for you so that's like half the challenge removed there.

Got hit during the third flag, jumped in the water, did NOT get the achievement.

hmm, didn't get hit and didn't get the cheevo. only thing i can think of is that final thing he shot, i forced him to the cutscene so it took control away. never lost a firefly, but the ball would have hit me during the cutscene?

I was hit on the first phase. I killed myself which restarted the whole challenge, beat it flawless and got the achievement. Fulling exiting and restarting the level doesn't seem necessary.

At the beginning of the level you will have to press a red button to raise a flag, you will have 2 more throughout the level you can't miss them as you have to press them to progress. Once you reach the Return Home portal, don't go through it yet but go past it and keep going up and go through the gate if you have required number of enemies killed, then follow the path to the last flag you raised and you will find Bob near the flag in the air, shoot him and just and avoid all the bombos that he throws at you. If you get hit you can go and and drown yourself resetting the challenge and trying again.Hope this is helpful.

Avoid getting hit by Bob in scorch, or you'll have to start over. You'll take 3 stages trying to get the flag.

After you’ve raised all the flags so that you can then access the main palace, head up and speak to Handel to start a challenge which requires you to shoot down Bombo the Flagkeeper from the previous flag poles. Go through Superflame Gate and head back across the bridge to the previous area. Aim and look up to the flag pole in this section and Bombo will be on top of it; so shoot him down. Once he lands, head over and talk to him and he’ll challenge you to chase him so that you can get the flag back.
 
There is a tactic to this and it's as simply as not constantly chasing after him. Do not Charge, but simply walk/run at him until he throws his fireballs. Once he does, just either step to one side and out of the way or you can just as easily run back on yourself. There is no timer to this challenge or fail scene if you lose him.

Every 1-3 fireballs, as you chase him, he'll have specific stopping points where he'll just do nothing and wait for you. As you get closer, he'll go to the next one and during that he'll throw the fireballs at you. Just take your time and this will be a lot easier than full-on chasing him.
