There's a couple clarifications that should be made: The "true definition" of 100% can vary between people, as some may view the completion % of the save as the only thing that matters, and some may want to do absolutely EVERYTHING the game has to offer. I tried to give a happy medium, talking about what you need to unlock pretty much all of the content. Here's a few IMPORTANT reminders: • If you want to play all heroic challenges available, you will need to buy all 48 unique characters from Spyro's Adventure & Giants • Adventure Packs technically don't affect the "100% counter" of your save for Spyro's Adventure, Giants, and Swap Force, but I still feel like it's wrong to not mention them as they have collectibles, including soul gems (for SSA) • Similarly, the arena battles in Swap Force also don't affect the 100% counter, so you can skip the Arkeyan Crossbow and Sheep Wreck Islands pack, but they do unlock extra content so again it comes down to your definition of 100%'ing the games • In Superchargers, there is no official 100% counter, so it's all about your definition of it. You may even consider that to 100% the game, all superchargers and vehicles are required to play the Superchargers Combo Challenges, but that's up to you. • You can technically save a little more money by using Instant Spitfire and Instant Hot Streak if you use an older portal in Superchargers. • I made a mistake by failing to mention that while you only need either Crash or Cortex to unlock the Thumpin Wumpa Islands level, you actually need BOTH to 100% complete the level. • The Blue imaginite chests don't actually unlock imaginite sets, so they technically aren't needed to 100% Imaginators, unless you personally believe that you need every single item to 100% the game, in which case you need EVERY SENSEI to unlock them all.
@@FROGMEMESINC I would recommend first going for Adventure Packs as they'll give you the most content compared to unlocking some elemental gates. You also should consider how much it costs to 100%, most of the games are fairly cheap to complete
Imaginators: We need you to spend $1000 just to complete our game Giants: Nah bro you just need a giant and some characters you already have from the last game 🗿.
You can technically get only the bottom parts of the Swappers to spend the least money as possible, but i don't exactly know if that's considered a crime.
It's crazy how cheap Giants is. Like I remember them creating a pack for those that had already bought Spyro's Adventure, where it only included the game and Tree Rex.
I was able to find Ro-bow in stores, but I only got Wildstorm sometime this year. Still, I'd rather have to buy Wildstorm nowadays than have to buy Ro-bow
Nah man $1336 is way too much! Just use an emulator like Dolphin of Cemu, these use emulated portals which means you can use ANY Skylander as long as you have its file.
The only issue is that not everyone has a powerful pc or not even a pc at all. The best option is to just get NFC cards since not only can you swap any Skylander you want at any time but can really help you get the things you need especially on Trap Team and definitely Imaginators
@@theTadpolshrimpl3425 Okay that’s true, however, NFC cards do cost money (they aren’t expensive, but they also aren’t cheap), an NFC reader/writes is expensive as hell, and luckily for the people who have a Samsung phone a writer isn’t necessary, but for IPhone users you have no other choice. Your PC does not have to be extremely powerful, even a phone can run dolphin (not on highest settings though), and people who don’t have a pc can use a laptop or an android phone, (you have to Jailbreak an iOS device). The emulators also work with Traps, Vehicles, Creation Crystals, Expension Packs, etc. So don’t;t worry about that. :)
@@Splatoonspyro okay yeah, this is 100% true, even though I play on emulator most of the time, I still collect figures, its so satisfying to fill your shelf. The whole reason why I play on emulator is cause my Swap Force and Imaginators Disks don’t work anymore (I wasn’t that careful as a child), and cause its a 100% free way to get Robow xD (idk why but I can’t get imaginators NFC’s to work). But I think I’ll never stop collecting until there are no more (reasonable priced) skylanders to collect xD
@@theTadpolshrimpl3425 You don’t really need a powerful pc, unless you want to play with the best graphics, and NFC cards do cost money (they are not expensive, but they aren’t cheap either), and iOS users do have to use a NFC writer, which is pretty expensive, android users can use their phone, but you can’t write Imaginators with a phone. Which is also another problem, imaginators are much harder to write, I still haven’t succeeded at writing an Imaginator or creation crystal. And with the way Dolphin works you still can swap swappers, and I believe this is possible with Cemu too, if you have the right files (In dolphin the files are already included). And luckily there is also no issue with using traps, creation crystals, vehicles, items, expansion packs, etc. so there is no problem playing Trap Team and Imaginators, this is because the emulator portals in both Cemu and Dolphin work with slots (up to 16). And for the people who don’t have a pc, they can use dolphin on their Android device, for iOS users it does get a bit harder, however it is still possible (even without jailbreaking your device). The only thing that I’m not completely sure about is local multiplayer (online does not work, but for me that isn’t that big of a deal, as my Nintendo Network doesn’t work anymore), cause I didn’t test it yet, however every time I press a key on my keyboard, or move the mouse while playing on a controller I get the “A to join” message. So these issues aren’t really there (anymore), luckily. However I do get why you want to use NFC’s cause it does feel more like you have a real figure, and you don’t have to remember which figures you have already used (you do have to remember this if you use Cemu; Dolphin remembers it for you), and you don’t have to remember which villain is in which trap haha.
Every game is you buy the initial game. The toys are known to you ahead of time so you pay the initial cost and are therefore fine knowing the fact you could have a better experience and might pay for it.
I was one of the lucky ones who got Ro-Bow around when the Lost Imaginite Mines pack first came out!... Well sort of. It seemed like it was completely sold out in every retail store in Canada, but luckily my mom's friend found one at a British toy store for £20 when she was on vacation in England, and she was kind enough to pick it up and bring it home for me!
Imaginators had one OP combo. Earth imaginators as a Ninja = complete immunity. Take the dig underground earth class and the 5 star ninja class and just dig down, pop up and rapid fire. Pure Khaos
I decided to calculate the cheapest way to get 10 Senseis and creation crystals in order to 100% Imaginators, here is how: Row-Bow (Needed for Mines Level) Wild Storm (Needed for Tiki Level) Crash Bandicoot(Needed for Thumpa Level) Tidepool Flarewolf Starcast Barbella Mysticat Chopscotch Aurora All ten of those combined will give you every element and battle class for all the sensei realms and secret techniques. Besides Row Bow and Wildstorm which are required, they are all reasonably priced for Senseis. For Imaginite Crystals here are the cheapest for each element: Life: Claw Light: Rune Earth: Rocket Dark: Rune Fire: Reactor Magic: Lantern Tech: Reactor Air: Lantern Undead: Fanged Water: Armor Obviously you can select different battle classes on all of them from there. Additionally to complete you are going to need: Lost Imaginite Mines Chest Cursed Tiki Temple Chest Gryphon Park Observatory Enchanted Elven Forest All of this will add up to roughly $994 USD, meaning his calculations are a bit off.
depends on the price values used for each character, obviously wildstorm and robow have gone up the most since this video was released. I also found (at least as of then) it was actually cheaper on average to buy krankcase + king pen instead of tidepool (plus it's just better to get 2 characters lol)
i dont think you need the adventure packs to actually 100% an ssa/giants/ssf save but i may be wrong. also superchargers you probably dont need the racing trophies for superchargers as theyre side content. Also for imaginators you need both crash and cortex to 100% thumpin wumpa islands. edit: you also can use an older game's portal to get instant spitfire and hot streak, so you only need 2 figures to 100% superchargers
*So to 100% each game, you need to buy* - One Spyro's Adventure character for each element (8 in total) - At least one Giants character - One Swap Force character for every element (8 in total) - One Trap Master for every element (10 in total) - One Trap Crystal for every element (except Kaos, unless you really want to) (10 in total; 11 if you include Kaos) - One Supercharger vehicle of every variant (3 in total) - One Creation Crystal for every element (10 in total) - One Sensei for every element (10 in total) - One Sensei for each battle class (10 in total) - Crash Bandicoot or Dr. Neo Cortex - Wild Storm - Ro-Bow - Every single expansion pack the six games have to offer - The Enchanted Elven Forest Imaginite chest - The Griffin Park Observatory Imaginite chest *Afterwards, you need to at least* - 3-star every single level throughout the six games - Associate each of the 10 Imaginator classes with one of the 10 Creation Crystals you bought - Unlock all 10 sensei shrines - Complete every single Imaginite set (this does include beating Imaginators on Nightmare difficulty) *It doesn't matter which toys you buy or how you buy them. As long as you meet the requirements to 100% each game, you're good to go.*
Watching this makes me so happy that I was around during the games so was able to get characters like Ro-Bow and Wild Storm when they came out for a reasonable price
Don’t you need every sensei to 100% Imaginators? because each one has their own imaginite pieces you can only get by doing the shrine and scanning them in
The pieces you get from them doesn't affect the completion % because only the full imaginite sets are required for 100%. But if you want to get EVERY single item, then yeah, you do need all of them!
btw in skylanders swap force: there is an elemental gate with 2 diferent typed. You can use a player 2 and you can use normal skylanders to open the gates. One player with an element and other with another
I got every skylanders during their game release hopefully they will finally return in stores if the next game the Skylanders digital we buy them from online stores like the eshop
I got this Action Replay Quicksaves Amiibo that I THINK could work with skylanders. I still gotta play again. I found Spyros Adventure, Trap Team, and Giants at the thrift store with a portal. I'll be playing Spyros Adventure. Also, your video is really well made and pretty high quality. I wish the best for your channel.
Do you not need both Crash and Cortex because both have separate 'missions' which if you do well enough get a treasure chest and the opposing soul gem. E.g. You do Crash's mission and do well enough, you get Cortex's soul gem and a chest
you should have mentioned the absolute nightmare it actually takes to get every single available portal master star in swap force (not counting the collect different skylanders ones imo) it can actually take up to a month or so with on and off grinding and beating the game 4 to 6 times at a minimum on top of every other tedious challenge thrown your way, if you see this as actual 100% then by all means good luck to you as it is TORTURE. I should know as I have had to do it Twice, mostly since my data got corrupted after the first time...
Hey , some time ago you made an nfc cards tutorial Everything works , so thanks But the sunscraper and the midnight museum from trap team dont work i tried multiple times , It directly crashes the game when i put the card on the portal Im 99%sure that im doing everything right
that's interesting, I haven't tested those myself since I own them but in my discord server Lerain has posted an NFC pack which is supposed to be fully tested and working for every dump, it should be pinned in general. I can't check if the Midnight Museum and Sunscraper Spire works rn so I can't be sure if it's the file or something with your game
the dual elemental gates in swap force can be unlocked just by switching skylanders for the elemnts needed for the gate, so you don't actually need a swapper of every element
If you want complete (not the counter) all skylanders spyro's adventure and giants, you should have all skylanders, because there are the titles. In spyro's adventure you need the expansions because there are the title of Soul Gem, and the scrolls. Sorry for the english
I was still lucky enough to get every Giant, SWAP Force, Trap Master, and Swap Force and Trap Team’s Adventure Packs. Now I’m gonna try to get my money saved and boosted for the Senseis, Creation Crystals, and Adventure Packs. eBay is kind of my best bet for doing this, even if it is a bit expensive.
I remember not buying Swap Force because i only had a Wii. Then when i upgraded, i decided not to buy Trap Team because of the amount i would have to spend on it. With Super Chargers, i bought it and was glad that i only had to buy two other things to properly enjoy the story. When Imaginators came around, while i was excited at the thought of creating my own Skylander, yeah it was basically the same as trap team.
Thank you! My priority is making the highest quality videos in the skylanders community with absolutely no fluff.. though that unfortunately means I can't upload as often
I was very lucky to get Ro-Bow. I had heard he wasn't going to be released in the U.S., but I ended up finding him at a Toys R Us in late 2017. Wish I was that lucky with Wild Storm. What's frustrating is that I used to see him all the time. If I'd known how stupid expensive he'd end up being, I would have jumped on getting him ASAP.
Note to anyone who wanted to 100% Spyro's Adventure on Wii, there's a glitch in Sky Schooner Docks that makes it impossible for you to complete the 'defeat all enemies' goal, thus making not only the level, but the whole game impossible to 100% on Wii
you definitely need every sensei for imaginators, because they all have their own imaginite parts you definitely need every skylander and magic item from the first 3 games, for the heroic challenges in ssa and giants, and the collection achievements in swap force, all 256 combos obv you deeefinitely need every supercharger and their vehicle for their supercharger combo quests in superchargers and you forgot the other battle packs, like the fiery forge, scorpion striker, dragonfire cannon, ufo hat + all other magic items for collection in swap force and superchargers AND at least the 10 traps from trap team for the exclusive villain skystones in superchargers, and technically a swap force 100% save file so that you can carry over the legacy hats into trap team to unlock them, or use a superchargers file since it's way easier to get them there.
I find it funny cuz most of these skylanders are gonna stop working within the next few years so if you haven't already gotten a bunch of skylanders, it's gonna be impossible to do unless you have a modded game.
I looked at the battle arena fandom page, and saw you also need the Dragonfire Cannon, Golden Dragonfire Cannon and Scorpion Striker to unlock some Battle Arenas in Giants Other Battle Arenas in both SA and Giants are unlock by the Adventure packs, and some can be "found" in Giants + In Swap Force you also need Fiery Forge to unlock another battle arena
Yes. Some Battle Arenas can only be unlocked with physical battle pack items like the ones you mentioned. None of these are required to 100% the game and simply offer more maps to play 2 player PvP battle arena on. The reason I suggest getting the Arkeyan Crossbow is because it unlocks standard Battle Arena maps for single player.
Ok thanks @@theSkylandeer Oh and I wanna say thanks for when I was in a store looking at some Skylanders, I saw the Arkeyan Crossbow and regonized it from your video
this game was so ahead of its time i remember i collected nearly every single one not sure what happened though i think i had it in storage and now its all gone sadly but i had nearly everything i loved the game lol
@@theSkylandeer and I have this weird thing where every time I get back into Skylanders I always have a dream of a liminal Walmart like store and I always see my childhood so stuff like Skylanders
@Cashcorn LMAO no worries dude, I lost count of how many other people said the exact same thing! and thank you for being a long term viewer of the channel
Just wondering where you buy your Skylanders from cause I'm trying to get back into the game and am looking for anything, presumably on the cheaper to fair price range
I already have everything to 100% the first 4 skylanders games and I'm only missing 2 trophies for superchargers, but imaginators? Yeah, I'll just spend $50 to make some nfc cards, thank you very much
its easy to 100% a game when your using an emulator like dolphin or rpcs3 since they come with a feature that lets you emulate the portal, which basically means you have access to every Skylander. then again the video is about doing it with legit Skylanders. just thought I'd mention it.
do you have any advise on how to get the games themselves for cheap? I only have superchargers and imaginators for xbox one with a superchargers portal. I wanna get swap force and trap team the most.
definitely get swap force and trap team on xbox one, it's worth it, although you will need to buy a trap team xbox one portal.. be patient and check sites like ebay and mercari
Hey what’s the best way to play Spyro adventure for nostalgic purposes I know there’s a PC version I have my portal but I don’t know how to get it in my Wii is broken I still have all my figures I still have all my portals and funnily enough I have everything for trap team from when I was younger lol including chaos trap stopped playing when super chargers came out though
I would recommend using emulators! you can play all of the skylanders games and use your pre-existing figures on PC! plus you can upscale the graphics and go above the 30fps limit (although sometimes it can cause issues)
If you think that 1300 dollars is a lot, remember that back then we paid a lot more to get the figures when they came out It was like 680 bucks for SSA in 2011 for all figurines And after this I don't want to imagine how much mom has spent 😬
Ah, you used the element Backrounds, from where are these awesome spinning elements symbols? Edit: Also how did you make that Wave effect in 5:00 ? Intro 10/10 btw
@@theSkylandeer I want to inform you that I found higher quality versions of the Backrounds, that ripped streight from the official website. If you want to find them google "Skylanders Super Chargers Elemental Backrounds (Tablet and Desktop)"
So im confused, you say u need 1 of each element and battles class of sensei, then say you also need crash/cortex, wild storm and ro-bow Couldn't you consider these 4 sensei as part of the 10 elements/battle classes required for base game? That in theory could drop the price by 50-100 dollars depending on who gets cut
you kinda can and I included that in the cost to complete the game; those 4 are the only REQUIRED senseis as the rest you can kinda pick and choose as long as you hit that goal of 10 per element/battle class but keep in mind that robow and cortex are the same battle class and it's still going to be more than 10 no matter what
@@theSkylandeer interesting, I also was completely unaware just having a wild storm/ro-bow meant a free extra lvl as opposed to needing the adventure packs from SSA/Giants
Really sad I sold my entire collection, I had every exclusive back until some of the giants stuff, and basically every character you could get even the “DLC” dark and light guys when they released. I had easily $2k worth of sky landers, if I held on to them I would probably make an extra grand down the road. Also sad I can’t play, lol. Sky landers were my childhood and I miss it.
I had no idea Ro-bow was so expensive, lol. I've got them all stored in a cabinet above my desk, and when you mentioned the price I just looked up and locked eyes with it 😂😂
There's a couple clarifications that should be made:

• Similarly, the arena battles in Swap Force also don't affect the 100% counter, so you can skip the Arkeyan Crossbow and Sheep Wreck Islands pack, but they do unlock extra content so again it comes down to your definition of 100%'ing the games
• In Superchargers, there is no official 100% counter, so it's all about your definition of it. You may even consider that to 100% the game, all superchargers and vehicles are required to play the Superchargers Combo Challenges, but that's up to you.
• You can technically save a little more money by using Instant Spitfire and Instant Hot Streak if you use an older portal in Superchargers.
• I made a mistake by failing to mention that while you only need either Crash or Cortex to unlock the Thumpin Wumpa Islands level, you actually need BOTH to 100% complete the level.
• The Blue imaginite chests don't actually unlock imaginite sets, so they technically aren't needed to 100% Imaginators, unless you personally believe that you need every single item to 100% the game, in which case you need EVERY SENSEI to unlock them all.

Lol, beat me 2 it
Or just use dolphin..
.
I guess that's technically true lmao but most people don't want a bunch of half completed swappers and that would be harder to find
900 IQ
I don’t think many people sell ‘just’ the bottom halves of swappers
It's crazy how cheap Giants is. Like I remember them creating a pack for those that had already bought Spyro's Adventure, where it only included the game and Tree Rex.
Yep, the portal owner's pack was literally all you needed to 100% the game assuming you could beat SSA
Portal's owner pack my beloved
I like how he went right to the point instead of any intros
that's my style man, no extra filler!
It'd weird cause i want each character to unlock content but at the same time I don't LOL

In swap force u could just connect 2nd player mode. Even with two usual sky's u can open the gates, so swappers aren't so necessary in this case.
Imaginators had one OP combo. Earth imaginators as a Ninja = complete immunity. Take the dig underground earth class and the 5 star ninja class and just dig down, pop up and rapid fire. Pure Khaos
I decided to calculate the cheapest way to get 10 Senseis and creation crystals in order to 100% Imaginators, here is how:
Row-Bow (Needed for Mines Level)
Wild Storm (Needed for Tiki Level)
Crash Bandicoot(Needed for Thumpa Level)
Tidepool
Flarewolf
Starcast
Barbella
Mysticat
Chopscotch
Aurora
All ten of those combined will give you every element and battle class for all the sensei realms and secret techniques. Besides Row Bow and Wildstorm which are required, they are all reasonably priced for Senseis. For Imaginite Crystals here are the cheapest for each element:
Life: Claw
Light: Rune
Earth: Rocket
Dark: Rune
Fire: Reactor
Magic: Lantern
Tech: Reactor
Air: Lantern
Undead: Fanged
Water: Armor
Obviously you can select different battle classes on all of them from there. Additionally to complete you are going to need:
Lost Imaginite Mines Chest
Cursed Tiki Temple Chest
Gryphon Park Observatory
Enchanted Elven Forest
All of this will add up to roughly $994 USD, meaning his calculations are a bit off.
depends on the price values used for each character, obviously wildstorm and robow have gone up the most since this video was released. I also found (at least as of then) it was actually cheaper on average to buy krankcase + king pen instead of tidepool (plus it's just better to get 2 characters lol)

*Afterwards, you need to at least*
- 3-star every single level throughout the six games
- Associate each of the 10 Imaginator classes with one of the 10 Creation Crystals you bought
- Unlock all 10 sensei shrines
- Complete every single Imaginite set (this does include beating Imaginators on Nightmare difficulty)
*It doesn't matter which toys you buy or how you buy them. As long as you meet the requirements to 100% each game, you're good to go.*
For swap force you dont need a swapper for every type, because if you use co-op you can also open the dual type gates.
mentioned at 1:31
I only really focus on the main story chapters when it comes to 100%, anything else feels optional or skippable but this is still really helpful!
I would recommend getting the adventure packs, they're pretty good value in terms of new content
3:33, this isn't an option, both are required to 100% the level
I can confirm this as there is mini levels that you would need to do in order to 100% that level
Sorry, you're right, I forgot that you need both to 100% the level itself, I only thought about what you need to unlock the level!
Watching this makes me so happy that I was around during the games so was able to get characters like Ro-Bow and Wild Storm when they came out for a reasonable price
extremely lucky!
Don’t you need every sensei to 100% Imaginators? because each one has their own imaginite pieces you can only get by doing the shrine and scanning them in
Ha! Found ya.
The pieces you get from them doesn't affect the completion % because only the full imaginite sets are required for 100%. But if you want to get EVERY single item, then yeah, you do need all of them!
@@theSkylandeer is this the same with the superchargers vehicle element things
The DLC are optional in SSA, Giants and Swap Force but Trap Team and Imaginators is another story, grateful to complete Trap Team 100% one month ago
Yep! You're right that they're not required to see the 100%, but I still included them since most people want all the main content in the game.
btw in skylanders swap force: there is an elemental gate with 2 diferent typed. You can use a player 2 and you can use normal skylanders to open the gates. One player with an element and other with another
yep this is mentioned in the video
@@theSkylandeer 👍
1:29 doom stone is literally the only swap force skylander I don't have, and that's including all the special editions
I keep meaning to get him but, honestly other stuff grabs my interest beforehand
doom is really fun because of his shield
I got every skylanders during their game release hopefully they will finally return in stores if the next game the Skylanders digital we buy them from online stores like the eshop
This is why i have NFC’s of wildstorm and ro-bow
I got this Action Replay Quicksaves Amiibo that I THINK could work with skylanders. I still gotta play again. I found Spyros Adventure, Trap Team, and Giants at the thrift store with a portal. I'll be playing Spyros Adventure.
Also, your video is really well made and pretty high quality. I wish the best for your channel.
I have all figures and items from ssa to trap team with some rare colours
Do you not need both Crash and Cortex because both have separate 'missions' which if you do well enough get a treasure chest and the opposing soul gem. E.g. You do Crash's mission and do well enough, you get Cortex's soul gem and a chest
yeah you're right, I did get that part wrong. you need both
you should have mentioned the absolute nightmare it actually takes to get every single available portal master star in swap force (not counting the collect different skylanders ones imo) it can actually take up to a month or so with on and off grinding and beating the game 4 to 6 times at a minimum on top of every other tedious challenge thrown your way, if you see this as actual 100% then by all means good luck to you as it is TORTURE. I should know as I have had to do it Twice, mostly since my data got corrupted after the first time...
Hey , some time ago you made an nfc cards tutorial
Everything works , so thanks
But the sunscraper and the midnight museum from trap team dont work i tried multiple times ,
It directly crashes the game when i put the card on the portal
Im 99%sure that im doing everything right
that's interesting, I haven't tested those myself since I own them but in my discord server Lerain has posted an NFC pack which is supposed to be fully tested and working for every dump, it should be pinned in general. I can't check if the Midnight Museum and Sunscraper Spire works rn so I can't be sure if it's the file or something with your game
the dual elemental gates in swap force can be unlocked just by switching skylanders for the elemnts needed for the gate, so you don't actually need a swapper of every element
explained at 1:31
If you want complete (not the counter) all skylanders spyro's adventure and giants, you should have all skylanders, because there are the titles. In spyro's adventure you need the expansions because there are the title of Soul Gem, and the scrolls. Sorry for the english
I was still lucky enough to get every Giant, SWAP Force, Trap Master, and Swap Force and Trap Team’s Adventure Packs. Now I’m gonna try to get my money saved and boosted for the Senseis, Creation Crystals, and Adventure Packs. eBay is kind of my best bet for doing this, even if it is a bit expensive.
it's certainly expensive to get senseis, good luck!
@@theSkylandeer Thank you!
I remember not buying Swap Force because i only had a Wii.
Then when i upgraded, i decided not to buy Trap Team because of the amount i would have to spend on it.
With Super Chargers, i bought it and was glad that i only had to buy two other things to properly enjoy the story.
When Imaginators came around, while i was excited at the thought of creating my own Skylander, yeah it was basically the same as trap team.
yeah, Wii was rough after Giants, and the games became harder and harder on your wallet too
dual element gates in sf can actually be unlocked with 2 landers in multiplayer
oops
Bro the production on this video is fire
Thank you! My priority is making the highest quality videos in the skylanders community with absolutely no fluff.. though that unfortunately means I can't upload as often
This is pretty sick, I was thinking of something like this not too long ago for imaginators since most of the figures are pretty damn expensive
i got the frito lays purple fire bone hot dog on ebay a couple years ago and now it goes for over 500 dollars via sold listings on the site
WHAT??? I swear they were like $200
@@theSkylandeeryep
@@theSkylandeeralso be in mind i had to pay Australian dollars for it since i am from there and it shipped from there also
ohhh that does make a bit more sense, australian dollars aren't worth as much as USD
There Are NFC cards for trap Team and Imaginators out there
I was very lucky to get Ro-Bow. I had heard he wasn't going to be released in the U.S., but I ended up finding him at a Toys R Us in late 2017. Wish I was that lucky with Wild Storm. What's frustrating is that I used to see him all the time. If I'd known how stupid expensive he'd end up being, I would have jumped on getting him ASAP.
yeah but at least you got the more expensive of the two lol
@@theSkylandeer True.
4:44 funny window and nooo
Note to anyone who wanted to 100% Spyro's Adventure on Wii, there's a glitch in Sky Schooner Docks that makes it impossible for you to complete the 'defeat all enemies' goal, thus making not only the level, but the whole game impossible to 100% on Wii
this is incorrect misinformation that SGTV spread in a video ages ago because he missed some enemies on his playthrough. SSA wii can be 100% completed
you definitely need every sensei for imaginators, because they all have their own imaginite parts
you definitely need every skylander and magic item from the first 3 games, for the heroic challenges in ssa and giants, and the collection achievements in swap force, all 256 combos obv
you deeefinitely need every supercharger and their vehicle for their supercharger combo quests in superchargers
and you forgot the other battle packs, like the fiery forge, scorpion striker, dragonfire cannon, ufo hat + all other magic items for collection in swap force and superchargers
AND at least the 10 traps from trap team for the exclusive villain skystones in superchargers, and technically a swap force 100% save file so that you can carry over the legacy hats into trap team to unlock them, or use a superchargers file since it's way easier to get them there.
That's one way of looking at it, if you truly wanted to have EVERYTHING the game offers, but that isn't required for the 100% completion to show up.
One of my bucket lists is to get the entire collection and they are out there
it's possible but very expensive lol
What is the quickest way to level up in skylanders imaginators. Im trying to max out my custom character but i cant find the quickest way
there really is no efficient method to my knowledge, at least compared to the previous games
I remember when I went through all my skylanders toward the end of Imaginators and I had over 350, was the best game of my childhood
wow, sounds like you had it good 😅
Also to add, one of the cheapest things to do is get the trap team portal. Since they work in every game, you don’t need to buy too many.
actually, the Superchargers portal doesn't work in Trap Team
@@theSkylandeer I thought it did, just not sound? Huh, nvm then
I find it funny cuz most of these skylanders are gonna stop working within the next few years so if you haven't already gotten a bunch of skylanders, it's gonna be impossible to do unless you have a modded game.
@Dinosnake76 not true honestly, there isn't evidence that their chips will die soon. some figures are
I looked at the battle arena fandom page, and saw you also need the Dragonfire Cannon, Golden Dragonfire Cannon and Scorpion Striker to unlock some Battle Arenas in Giants
Other Battle Arenas in both SA and Giants are unlock by the Adventure packs, and some can be "found" in Giants
+ In Swap Force you also need Fiery Forge to unlock another battle arena
Yes. Some Battle Arenas can only be unlocked with physical battle pack items like the ones you mentioned. None of these are required to 100% the game and simply offer more maps to play 2 player PvP battle arena on. The reason I suggest getting the Arkeyan Crossbow is because it unlocks standard Battle Arena maps for single player.
Ok thanks @@theSkylandeer
Oh and I wanna say thanks for when I was in a store looking at some Skylanders, I saw the Arkeyan Crossbow and regonized it from your video
Parental extortion avoidance guide. Very good.
haha thank you
Dont know if anyone said this, but you need crash and cortex to get each other's soul gems.
yeah, corrected that in my pinned comment
this game was so ahead of its time i remember i collected nearly every single one not sure what happened though i think i had it in storage and now its all gone sadly but i had nearly everything i loved the game lol
it was ahead of its time and now the world has moved on to the far worse business of scummy microtransactions. Thankfully people still care about it!
I saw cheap and my ears pricked up 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 vid
uranium...
Once again, great video deer!
Thanks, and thanks for the E3 Spitfire haha
I’m collecting skylanders now and there’s a retro store that sells skylanders for 10$ or less
that might be a good deal for the rarer ones, do your research to see how much they usually go for and compare it to the store's pricing
@@theSkylandeer and I have this weird thing where every time I get back into Skylanders I always have a dream of a liminal Walmart like store and I always see my childhood so stuff like Skylanders
have you ever livestreamed from xbox 360 to youtube when playing spyro’s adventure or giants? if you did can you tell me how.
yeah you will need a capture card
@@theSkylandeer does it have to be expensive
not really, just look for like a 1080p60fps one
@@theSkylandeer is it hard to set up? am i gonna need to HDMI cables
Why is the land trophy in superchargers so expensive?
I got the nfc program working thanks
good job!
1:03 OR you can use 2 core skylanders in 2 player mode
That method is mentioned like 10 seconds later 😂
@@theSkylandeer didn’t watch the rest of the video 🤭
@Cashcorn LMAO no worries dude, I lost count of how many other people said the exact same thing! and thank you for being a long term viewer of the channel
I will just get that card you can program to emulate any of the toys to life.
Swap Force accolades require you to own every SSA Skylander. The only thing these accolades do is "portal master rank."
yeah I'm not really counting those as swap force also would want you to collect every lightcore, repose, giant, magic item.. yeah you get the idea lol
Just wondering where you buy your Skylanders from cause I'm trying to get back into the game and am looking for anything, presumably on the cheaper to fair price range
I have the perfect video for you on this: ua-cam.com/video/5p1o6NLQTd8/v-deo.htmlsi=QVNabZ1DL8k2M-TF
Is there an NFC thing I can get to spoof the entire franchise?
actually saw your video on nfc cards, yeah that sounds better.
yep lol it's the cheap way to get everything basically
You should rank all skylander games in a video
So what you're saying is I really need to sell my Skylanders because holy
I mean you don't have to but some are worth a lot
Cheapest way is emulate the game and emulate the characters and changes
3:06 then giants requires 40 orange base skylanders
You should do one for the most expensive skylanders
I already have everything to 100% the first 4 skylanders games and I'm only missing 2 trophies for superchargers, but imaginators? Yeah, I'll just spend $50 to make some nfc cards, thank you very much
considering how expensive imaginators is, I would recommend it!
What’s is the total figures after 💯 % each Game
its easy to 100% a game when your using an emulator like dolphin or rpcs3 since they come with a feature that lets you emulate the portal, which basically means you have access to every Skylander. then again the video is about doing it with legit Skylanders. just thought I'd mention it.
yup it's a great way to save money
I literally just spent about 1k on getting a wild storm by itself (already have his blue chest) and a ro-bow new in box
dude, that is crazyyyy
do you have any advise on how to get the games themselves for cheap? I only have superchargers and imaginators for xbox one with a superchargers portal. I wanna get swap force and trap team the most.
definitely get swap force and trap team on xbox one, it's worth it, although you will need to buy a trap team xbox one portal.. be patient and check sites like ebay and mercari
Your editing and thumbnail is sooo good
Thank you! I always aim for the best quality possible
One day Activision has to release gold editions of these games... right?
maybe..
I really like the chanel it was on my for you page for a reson keep up the good work
My bleeding credit card after this video
🩸🩸🩸💳💸💸
the sad reality of skylanders lmao
Crazy how I could actually pay that to
I just emulate the games on a custom cemu build that has an emulated portal
yeah that works too for the people who have a computer but a surprising amount of the community does not
what is the song on the trap team part?
Where is the Lego Dimensions NFC tutorial
Consider trap team for ps4 is £70 minimum for just the game, starter packs are well above £100
yeah the game is really expensive on ps4 but the characters and stuff aren't
Crazy idea but try playing the game on a different system
and then for the sensei's shrines It's not enough to have Kaos that has all the battle classes?
nah, kaos has no effect on completion (same for the kaos trap)
Hey what’s the best way to play Spyro adventure for nostalgic purposes I know there’s a PC version I have my portal but I don’t know how to get it in my Wii is broken I still have all my figures I still have all my portals and funnily enough I have everything for trap team from when I was younger lol including chaos trap stopped playing when super chargers came out though
I would recommend using emulators! you can play all of the skylanders games and use your pre-existing figures on PC! plus you can upscale the graphics and go above the 30fps limit (although sometimes it can cause issues)
@@theSkylandeer I swear if if this game was made by Nintendo they would get the opps out also I’m guessing I would have to rebind my controls
Can’t you have two skylanders of the corresponding elements stand next to the elemental gate in swap force?
yes, it was mentioned at 1:31
@@theSkylandeerahh, my bad I missed that.
If you think that 1300 dollars is a lot, remember that back then we paid a lot more to get the figures when they came out
It was like 680 bucks for SSA in 2011 for all figurines
And after this I don't want to imagine how much mom has spent 😬
oh yeah they were pricey back in the day of course, though I think some of the games might be more expensive now because of characters like robow
I’ve been waiting for a vid on this!
I'm glad it was helpful!
Ah, you used the element Backrounds, from where are these awesome spinning elements symbols?
Edit: Also how did you make that Wave effect in 5:00 ?
Intro 10/10 btw
I found the element symbols on reddit at one point, I forgot who made them or I would credit them here. I made them spin myself
@@theSkylandeer I want to inform you that I found higher quality versions of the Backrounds, that ripped streight from the official website. If you want to find them google "Skylanders Super Chargers Elemental Backrounds (Tablet and Desktop)"
@@theSkylandeer How did you make the wave effect in 5:00?
or you can use a nfc card for some of the expensive stuff
Yo skylandeer when is your next video am dying for a new one please 🙏 btw I joined your discord server.
trap team is the expesnive part to complet but still the best skylanders part in my opinion
So im confused, you say u need 1 of each element and battles class of sensei, then say you also need crash/cortex, wild storm and ro-bow
Couldn't you consider these 4 sensei as part of the 10 elements/battle classes required for base game? That in theory could drop the price by 50-100 dollars depending on who gets cut
you kinda can and I included that in the cost to complete the game; those 4 are the only REQUIRED senseis as the rest you can kinda pick and choose as long as you hit that goal of 10 per element/battle class but keep in mind that robow and cortex are the same battle class and it's still going to be more than 10 no matter what
@@theSkylandeer interesting, I also was completely unaware just having a wild storm/ro-bow meant a free extra lvl as opposed to needing the adventure packs from SSA/Giants
You have forgotten about the collection part
Can I play team swap force on the Xbox series x?
yep
@@theSkylandeerthank you so much for the information! 😄
Is that E3 spitfire a custom or a chase?
A custom
Really sad I sold my entire collection, I had every exclusive back until some of the giants stuff, and basically every character you could get even the “DLC” dark and light guys when they released. I had easily $2k worth of sky landers, if I held on to them I would probably make an extra grand down the road. Also sad I can’t play, lol. Sky landers were my childhood and I miss it.
that's rough man, but you didn't know and you can't go back. If you want to play them again, maybe get some nfc cards or use an emulator
I had no idea Ro-bow was so expensive, lol. I've got them all stored in a cabinet above my desk, and when you mentioned the price I just looked up and locked eyes with it 😂😂
you are insanely lucky to have one! I'm surprised you didn't know as he is infamous for being expensive 😂
