The only achievement I am missing, to unlock the final got all achievement, is the achievement where you avoid the lasers during the Creepy Citadel boss fight.

Anyone have any surefire advice, because I always get hit. I consider myself to be a darn good gamer, excellent even. However, those darn lasers get me somehow.

Any videos around the net or any tips?

The best tip I can give is in your avatar - use Terrafin and fully upgrade all of his burrowing abilities. The lasers themselves aren't too bad to dodge, but if you burrow under them, it doesn't count as being hit, as long as you do so BEFORE they turn red.

When it comes to all three minions at the end, damage all of them as much as you can before killing any of them, so they only have a sliver of health; the lasers only come after one is killed. When that's done, burrow underground and use the Pirate Swords item - that should finish them off.

Good luck!

I actually find dodging the lasers to be the easiest part of this boss.

I use Legendary Spyro, and just keep moving. Though Sunny seems to have much better advice, haha.

You just have to really watch and figure out the pattern!!!
There is a point in the 2nd batch of lasers where staying in the middle is good and perfect spot! Everything will go around you.
I would use a fast character like Stealth elf or Flameslinger...you do have a few seconds to get out of the way while the lasers are white!

So I can get hit by red lasers, but it won't count so long as I went under before they turned red? My Terrafin has fully upgraded burrowing abilities. Thanks again.

You can get hit by them while they're white. When you see the white come up to show where the lasers are going to be, burrow underground before they go red - if you're burrowing, the red lasers don't cause damage.

It may take a few tries to get there, but it's easy once you know how the lasers are going to go - this video has some good hints on the laser patterns:

Yeah, I saw that video. However, I saw the beams hitting the dorsal fin while he was burrowed, so I assumed Terrafin could take damage while burrowed. I assumed you could take damage if it shows the white lasers hitting the dorsal fin in that video.

If Terrafin is burrowed, the red lasers don't cause damage - it's only if the damage counter comes up that it counts as being hurt and therefore makes you ineligible to get the Achievement - hope that makes sense! If I get hit, I then put a low-level Skylander on and kill them so I can restart the boss fight.

I thought that until I got an XBox, now I am getting addicted to buying my old games to play again to get achievements (I'm looking at you, Lego game series...)

I like playing Wii exclusives for fun, but I generally get multi-platform games on my PS3 since they tend to look/control a bit better.

GameMaster, did you ever get the last achievement?
