Apologies for the dip in video and audio quality after Trap Team, no idea why that happened (and also the 2 or 3 small editing mistakes at some parts) but thank you all for being so patient and I'll be getting right back to regular sized videos very soon!!!
This video is an experience and a trip as someone who grew up on Skylanders. I collected almost every one until superchargers. I did NOT realize trap team ended in a touhou boss battle.
If I had to rank the nightmare modes in difficulty I would probably say 5. Imaginators 4. Swap Force 3. Trap Team 2. Superchargers(the only land vehicle I have is hot streak so can't cheese the fights) 1. Giants(definitely the game i have most trouble with due to the BS hitboxes, invincibility frames, terrifying enemies i.e. GRENADE GENERALS)
for superchragers when the skylander is dead u dont need to switch the car just put another skylander in with desent helth like giants or eons eletes or trap masters superchragers is pretty ez on nightmare
@@speedrunnercartman2358 i know that. The thing is that superchargers the shield striker and shark tank vehicles can cheese fights as you have invincibility at times. Many enemies are very hard to dodge on vehicle sections and u can die with 2 or three hits. For most of the other games, I feel like I've gained a lot of skill with them so the games have become much easier for me
@@Hypnosniper u dont need the invis the game is pretty ez wel for me ig then i speedrun this game i hold all the wr even the nigthmare ones the only spots where u need to be careful is gladfly glades and darkness realy the other stuf is not hard at all
@@speedrunnercartman2358 I personally have more trouble with vehicle sections on nightmare mode. On hard mode the sections I feel are rly easy as enemies dont do much at all. But its mainly that I'm more confident in using less skylanders for other games on nightmare mode, giants being an exception of course.
@@Hypnosniper if ur having trouble with vihicle sections u can use trap team trap if u have some then deal like 4-5 times the damage than normal vihicles earth trap deals the most then koas trap then air magic undead tech in that order the other elemets are les strong but stil waay better than normal atacks
and the only bypass for them was that magna charge in swap force (idk if this applies to other games) his bottom piece would be able to interupt the spinning move and allow you to pick the enemies up, this also worked on the shielded enemies. magna charge was just built different
I find it interesting how if you put a hat on a sky lander in earlier editions, they would keep it in later editions, despite hats having been removed as a mechanic
I actually tried doing a Skylander Giants Nuzlocke in Nightmare Mode using all the Skylanders available in Skylanders Giants. Most of them are maxed and unfortunately I lost my final Skylander in the final fight in The Lost City of Arkus which is infuriating. However I did finally beat it on my Third try with only FOUR Skylanders remaining. Still I am happy to know that I am not the only one who suffered through the BS hitboxes with the Grenade Generals and Arkeyan Duelists. In all seriousness I am glad that you are back and I look forward to seeing more videos from you.
You know, don't cite me out as weird, but since I had never encountered a fourth wall break in a game before, Trap Team managed to incidentally make gullible kid me believe Skylands was real. Like, I'm not even joking, I actually thought Kaos would pull me through my TV and trap me. But, personally, that just added another level of the love for Trap Team that I have today. It's a very solid game, I don't care what anyone says about it, I will love it to hell and back.
The sheer amount of nostalgia that rushed back to me upon hearing the low health sound 👁👄👁 The way I had forgotten so much of the actual games tho cuz my brain became so filled with the deranged stories my 12 year old self made up with these damn toys
Actually that only happens when you use a flying skylander and u fly, the shockwaves become walls. Also we try not to use villain traps as it kind of takes the challenge out of trap team.
The crashing wii joke brings back so much pain. When I played trap team on the wii 😫, my game crashed so much, especially on kaos doom challenges. Trap team wii is a fate I would not wish on my worst enemy
I don’t know why but I find many of these deaths to be hilarious! Especially the first Shrednaught death, the faces of both Troll 1 and Troll 2 as they chase poor Fling Kong to his death is seriously hilarious!
It’s good to know that after all this time, this game series is far from dead. It’s amazing to see that the community is still this big 6 years after the final game in the series (hopefully just at the moment) was released
Looking back these were indeed some really good games. They would've been received so much better if it weren't for toys to life making you spend so much money to experience all the content.
How I would make a Skylanders 7: Traps and vehicles are not required for extra content, maybe they could be used to get accolades but those aren’t required to 100%. There would be gates that only a Giant of the right element could go through, maybe the entrance could be designed around the Giant used to open it (since Giants only have one of each element). We could also have special mini only areas, because one of Trap Team’s gimmick Skylanders was minis and they’re only used for one area in the entire game. Maybe they could even have mini only elemental gates. I just want an elemental gate for every gimmick Skylander in one game. This would fix Trap Team cores being useless as if you don’t have a character from any other element from the previous games you could use them. Dual elemental gates, old Spyro’s adventure gates, Elemental Traptanium (basically different colored Traptanium based on the element Trap Master needed to break it.) Add more Dark and Light characters. Dark and Light Skylanders were introduced really late into the series so there aren’t that many, but the ones we do have are some of the coolest looking and most creatively designed ones in the game. They could add dark and light gimmick skylanders to the old roster, including Swappers, Giants and Minis (Maybe Lightcores? Are Dark Lightcores even possible?). Speaking of Light and Dark Minis, I think Blackout and Spotlight could have very good Mini designs. Spotlight’s could be Spotling, Blackout’s could be Grayout (can’t think of a better name). Have a better story than Imaginators, though knowing Imaginator’s story it won’t be hard. I think in order for Kaos to still be a part of the story, whether he is a villain or not, the events of Imaginators would have to be disregarded as Kaos and Glumshanks are essentially stuck in a jar with no magic to get them out. Maybe Imaginators could be regarded as all being fabricated by the collected imagination of all of the Imaginators Skylanders that you created or something, basically the “it was all a dream” ending. Spellslamzer being the main villain. After defeating him on BattleBrawl Island, it’d make sense for him to want to get revenge. Also, after the events of Skylanders Superchargers, the Darkness, the entity that took so much work for the Spell Punks to summon, was destroyed. Spellslamzer could work great as a villain, he was a small side villain in Superchargers but he literally warps reality and might even be the one who summoned the Darkness, seeing as he is able to create spell punks and has control over them to some degree. He kind of just disappeared after he told the Skylanders some very unhelpful information about the Spell Punk Library, which is sad because he is one of the coolest villains in the series.
The fun thing about Skylanders is the hundreds of fan made challenges and new quests you can take. No matter how much you play this game, there will always be some new way to do it. I would know since I've already done like 5 or 6 locks lol
Bro, im so suprise you are doing so well on Skylanders content still, its surprising to see so many people watching your videos with this one reaching 29k views. Keep you the good work and passion you put into your videos and you could do well in the future. 10/10 Channel.
Swap Force was a complete cheese: "No runnning away from enemies" *proceeds to run away the fire golems* "No intentional cheeses" *proceeds to cheese nearly the entire mesmeralda fight*
Because I don’t have a very big skylander collection like some other skylander fans, I like to do Nightmare Lockes how they work (in my version at least) is you set the difficulty to Nightmare mode, what ever skylander that is compatible with the game you get to use(example you can use sunburn in trap team if it says fire skylanders are stronger in this zone), and finally there are randomly selected bonuses you get at the start of each level; bonuses can be either good or bad, some of the good bonuses I have are use of hats, items, and revives(note that the revives can be used to revive a dead skylander of your choice, it doesn’t have to be random). Bad bonuses include being restricted to using one element(ex: only using water skylanders), being restricted from using a element(ex: no earth skylanders allowed even if it said earth skylanders are stronger in this zone), being restricted to a certain type of skylander(ex: only using cores, only using water skylanders, etc), having to play extra levels, or having to sacrifice a skylander(which is basically just killing off a skylander), note that the skylander can only be sacrificed if you have used said skylander in the Locke at some point. To this day I have never beaten a Nightmare Locke on trap team
I cut up a paper into many smaller pieces, label them, put them in a box, shake the box, close my eyes and take one out. It would probably be more efficient to just search up a wheel generator and put the bonuses/challenges in their instead.
So glad to see you have returned! Nightmare mode is certainly nothing to mess around with! Shield Juggernauts are terrifying on Nightmare Mode, you definitely want to hit them with range attacks! It is only in Nightmare Mode where you learn what true pain is and also what enemies are actually very annoying! I noticed the Arkeyans are consistently difficult and dangerous! Ooglers are the enemy I hate the most from any Skylanders game however because they are very overpowered and are hard to avoid or dodge!
I have a friend who tried to beat Trap Team on nightmare mode after being down to mini hex on the final fight against Kaos he rage quit and just deleted the game, that was the first time in my life where I have seen a teenager rage quit at a childrens game. But he was dumb enough to jump straight to nightmare so his fault, he beat Superchargers nightmare mode though since it's so easy I just recently bought Superchargers myself and I'm easing my way up to nightmare mode so ill be better off than he was.
I am a year late to this or so; but this was DEFINITELY a lesson in 'Oh, so this is why people recommend an army of ranged skylanders'. Skylanders is VERY unfriendly to melee characters. My own progression in Nightmare taught me that. ANY character that had ranged was better than any that didn't. Mobility also was key. Also; a fun fact on Chef Pepper - IDK if this was tried, but I found merely sticking to a corner 'baited' his pepper throws on Phase 2, making it so that you only had 25% of the room to work with... But that 25% was still worthwhile.
Good lord, nightmare mode chef pepper Jack was horrible for me,it’s good to see someone else recognising that those goddamn pepper bombs were IMPOSSIBLE to deal with
Trapteam is the hardest and second best game (but not by much) in the series, thank you for putting all of my pain into onr section of a one hour twenty-seven minute and one second video.
Amazing video bro. I don’t know how but you made this whole 1 and a half hour video interesting and funny and made me wanting to keep watching for the entire video. I never had something like that in a video ever. I love your humour to and keep up the great work.
You’re incredible, this video is legendary. Thanks for keeping this series alive, keep up the good work. Playing Nightmare mode this much takes a lot of dedication.
Tbh when you beat and trap the villains in trap team on nightmare mode it feels so badass also i think that story wise nightmare mode is the canonical thing that happend
Also i could beat nightmare trap ream kaos with just dark spyro and any villian, also superchargers on nightmare mode is just insane i was so happy when i beat it also i beat it pretty much only using hot streak it was fun and hard, also i,v played every game on nightmare mode it was awsome, i haven't 100%ed any yet but im still trying
I did a nightmare mode run a while back, i am proud of myself for actually doing it, but it was stressful as i dont have that many toys I have to say, overal, giants is the most difficult while trap team had the hardest bosses, especially wolfgang and kaos
So what I learned from this: Earlier games had a lot more unfair bullshit, but later games just throw a shitton of effects at your screen to make it harder. Seriously the further he got the more I had problems seeing what's even going on. While the graphics improved visual clarity was disregarded completely. I found the original game quite hard for a kids game, especially the last level, which had to do with our small selection of Skylanders as well as the bosses being bullet sponges, which they did NOT change as seen in the video. Skylanders was either too easy or just really frustrating, no in between. Honestly not that sad that Skylanders is dead now, they never managed to make a well balanced game, there always was a lot of pay2win included.
I definitely agree but I have to say this entire project was a ton of fun and I had a blast playing through even the clearly unfair and unpolished parts of the games.
@@kryptkrusher Yeah they can be fun games and aren't that bad, but oh boy can they be frustrating at times, they failed to find a good core to build upon, each game has some sort of issue and they never found a solution for it. But, nice video, I enjoyed it a lot, you got a new subscriber 😁
I love how jawbreaker is the name of a skylander on trap team and at the same time it’s the name of that green guy In Kaos Kastle at Skylanders Giants chapter 9
Beating Nightmare mode in every game is an impressive feat for sure, but I beat every heroic challenge with every SSA/Giants Skylander I own. It took me around a year of work, but I finally did it a few days ago. Disclaimer: Please do NOT attempt this unless you are stupid or have absolutely nothing better to do with your time. This was easily one of the most agonisingly tedious experiences I have ever willingly committed myself to. I had to take frequent breaks and play other games between each session to stop me from going insane. Repeating the same set of 50 challenges an average of 80 times (that's an average of 4000 challenges, correct me if I'm wrong) is not fun and takes a massive toll on your mental health. I literally only did it just to say I've done it. Of course, I am never resetting my Skylanders ever again.
@@judasansnrw5765 I'm working on that next! Started yesterday actually. I made sure to start in Swap Force first, as completed quests don't carry over from Giants which is annoying.
I love your videos not only because it really shows that there’s more strategic combat to Skylanders than I initially thought, but also because you always make me laugh.
Brilliant video buddy, the nostalgia really kicking in here about a whole forgotten part of my childhood I played it on the Wii haha, appreciate the funny cut-aways during the content to break it up a bit certainly effective and the video doesn’t feel as long as it is. Keep up the great work certainly earned a sub!
Bro should have grinded with terrafin. He has fast, good damage dealing melee attacks, mean combos, a great belly flop and an invulerability ability to get away. Plus he can deal damage from a distance with his mini sharks. He's also my favourite if you havent gathered.
Hey I love your videos and I’m so glad someone’s keeping the series alive! After watching this i remembered a challenge I did with swap force a while ago and figured I’d challenge you to try it. I called it a skylanders nuzlocke where you start with one random skylander (no giants or swapers) and you play on nightmare mode. Every level you win you get another random skylander (either a normal skylanders or a random swap half) but if one ever dies it’s dead for good it took me quite a few attempts but eventually I beat it.
Bro i thought my trap team disk was broken and not that dream catcher was just poorly made and crashes the wii. I gave up when i was younger and never actually beat the game. Thank you i will now spend the next month on that game
Not to mention a Wii exclusive attack, when I first bought Trap Team I made the mistake of buying it on the Wii so on my Nightmare playthrough of the level I had to restart 14 times before on the 15th try it finally didn’t crash, now luckily o have Trap Team on the Wii U so that is no longer a problem!
@@Kingofportals best part about mine is….I couldn’t. mine just never worked lol so I went with the wii U no problems except for about one or two times when the game crashes, I can never escape that op attack
I have a channel called “BalladPlus” where I have just started my nightmare run for all 6 games. With spyros I threw it in so I could gain experience after years of not playing Skylanders and I had 6 deaths in the very last level only. With giants on nightmare I had 36 deaths and I underestimated how hard it would be even with watching this video, now I’m moving onto the others soon lol. Love your videos man! Keep it up!
You playing this actually reignited a memory of me have a horrifying fear of Trog wanderers. I used to get terrified whenever I saw them and have nightmares about them
Fun fact: mirror of mystery is literally impossible on nightmare mode, because Flynn always kills you before you can kill him, literally nothing works. I’ve tried threatpack and used every elemental ability, but Flynn takes me out in just 4 hits
I think this might be a glitch but on your end because the turret sections don’t get harder on nightmare mode. Kind of sucks though that you payed for bonus content that wont let you win.
I watched this video under a week ago. But now youtube has been spamming me with it after legit every single video and i just decided to watch it again since it’s a good video
I actually just recently finished playthroughs of the Giants to Trap Team on nightmare mode in which I would have to restart the level if I died and I couldn’t switch sky lander mid level unless if it was for opening gates. I also tried not to cheese the bosses in Trap Team.(I used Broccoli Guy). Swap Team was all around the easiest out of the three. In terms of the levels as a whole, Giants was the most difficult. In terms of the main bosses, Trap Team was by far the hardest.
51:29 Im so glad I wasnt the only one. Its sad because this happened so often, I got stuck in the level and never managed to finish the game. Ive tried again recently and it still crashed. Myabe ill try to beat it again, since i love this game, but it wont be the same as before.
@@degoinator i remember that when i tried to do masker mind's mission, it wouldnt let me walk, but the game wasnt frozen. When I tried it again recently, i had done the mission already, but I went to do it again just for fun and it blocked again. Thanks for the tips, I will try as soon as possible, since it is my favorite game in the series
@@degoinator unfortunatly I have watched walkthroughts already, because i thought i would never get past that point, but this game has so much replayability i dont think it matters too much
@@degoinator im really excited to try nightmare mode, since when I was a child i always just beat the game on normal and waited for the next one to release (and i pretty much got scammed, because who would have guessed that superchargers would be completly different on wii)
You can actually cheese the Chompy Mage and Chef Pepper Jack battles very easily if you use Chopper, High Five, or basically any other new flying skylander. They can literally fly over the shockwaves and lasers so all you have to do is attack the bosses with ease. This works on basically every boss who uses bullet heck.
I'm pretty sure if you do that then the shockwaves increase in height so that you cannot simply fly over them (this may be exclusive to nightmare mode idk)
Apologies for the dip in video and audio quality after Trap Team, no idea why that happened (and also the 2 or 3 small editing mistakes at some parts) but thank you all for being so patient and I'll be getting right back to regular sized videos very soon!!!
Glad you're back

In what way is it like Touhou?
@@exisbiceb8172 The waves of bullets, and the bonus for getting really close to them.

As someone who recently started rebuilding my skylanders collection the giants tip of 'Giants are slow' helped me beat mightmare mode. Thanks krypt
Really bro?😢😢😢
Everyone you can’t lie that Giants is a superior sequel and clearly has the best music
Bro, im so suprise you are doing so well on Skylanders content still, its surprising to see so many people watching your videos with this one reaching 29k views. Keep you the good work and passion you put into your videos and you could do well in the future. 10/10 Channel.
Swap Force was a complete cheese:
"No runnning away from enemies" *proceeds to run away the fire golems*
"No intentional cheeses" *proceeds to cheese nearly the entire mesmeralda fight*
Because I don’t have a very big skylander collection like some other skylander fans, I like to do Nightmare Lockes
how they work (in my version at least) is you set the difficulty to Nightmare mode, what ever skylander that is compatible with the game you get to use(example you can use sunburn in trap team if it says fire skylanders are stronger in this zone), and finally there are randomly selected bonuses you get at the start of each level; bonuses can be either good or bad, some of the good bonuses I have are use of hats, items, and revives(note that the revives can be used to revive a dead skylander of your choice, it doesn’t have to be random). Bad bonuses include being restricted to using one element(ex: only using water skylanders), being restricted from using a element(ex: no earth skylanders allowed even if it said earth skylanders are stronger in this zone), being restricted to a certain type of skylander(ex: only using cores, only using water skylanders, etc), having to play extra levels, or having to sacrifice a skylander(which is basically just killing off a skylander), note that the skylander can only be sacrificed if you have used said skylander in the Locke at some point.
To this day I have never beaten a Nightmare Locke on trap team
Hiw do you get the random bonuses and restrictions?
I cut up a paper into many smaller pieces, label them, put them in a box, shake the box, close my eyes and take one out. It would probably be more efficient to just search up a wheel generator and put the bonuses/challenges in their instead.
This is gonna be so much fun to watch throughout the week
Great To See You Returned Krypt Krusher 👍

So glad to see you have returned! Nightmare mode is certainly nothing to mess around with! Shield Juggernauts are terrifying on Nightmare Mode, you definitely want to hit them with range attacks! It is only in Nightmare Mode where you learn what true pain is and also what enemies are actually very annoying! I noticed the Arkeyans are consistently difficult and dangerous! Ooglers are the enemy I hate the most from any Skylanders game however because they are very overpowered and are hard to avoid or dodge!
I have a friend who tried to beat Trap Team on nightmare mode after being down to mini hex on the final fight against Kaos he rage quit and just deleted the game, that was the first time in my life where I have seen a teenager rage quit at a childrens game. But he was dumb enough to jump straight to nightmare so his fault, he beat Superchargers nightmare mode though since it's so easy I just recently bought Superchargers myself and I'm easing my way up to nightmare mode so ill be better off than he was.
I am a year late to this or so; but this was DEFINITELY a lesson in 'Oh, so this is why people recommend an army of ranged skylanders'.
Skylanders is VERY unfriendly to melee characters. My own progression in Nightmare taught me that. ANY character that had ranged was better than any that didn't. Mobility also was key.
Also; a fun fact on Chef Pepper - IDK if this was tried, but I found merely sticking to a corner 'baited' his pepper throws on Phase 2, making it so that you only had 25% of the room to work with... But that 25% was still worthwhile.
Good lord, nightmare mode chef pepper Jack was horrible for me,it’s good to see someone else recognising that those goddamn pepper bombs were IMPOSSIBLE to deal with
Toys For Bob were legit just trolling us with that boss.
Glad to see you back uploading krypt krusher
Beyond Happy to see you return buddy! :)) ❤
Trapteam is the hardest and second best game (but not by much) in the series, thank you for putting all of my pain into onr section of a one hour twenty-seven minute and one second video.
Amazing video bro. I don’t know how but you made this whole 1 and a half hour video interesting and funny and made me wanting to keep watching for the entire video. I never had something like that in a video ever. I love your humour to and keep up the great work.
You’re incredible, this video is legendary. Thanks for keeping this series alive, keep up the good work. Playing Nightmare mode this much takes a lot of dedication.
Tbh when you beat and trap the villains in trap team on nightmare mode it feels so badass also i think that story wise nightmare mode is the canonical thing that happend
Also i could beat nightmare trap ream kaos with just dark spyro and any villian, also superchargers on nightmare mode is just insane i was so happy when i beat it also i beat it pretty much only using hot streak it was fun and hard, also i,v played every game on nightmare mode it was awsome, i haven't 100%ed any yet but im still trying
i found that whirlwind was good against shield juggernauts in giants and just flying around while spamming B worked pretty well for the most part
I can’t wait to get back into these games again. I plan on trying to collect more skylanders on the garage sale weekend of our town.
I just discovered this channel and it made me remember the fun times with this games. Thank you, probably gonna replay them all soon.
I did a nightmare mode run a while back, i am proud of myself for actually doing it, but it was stressful as i dont have that many toys
I have to say, overal, giants is the most difficult while trap team had the hardest bosses, especially wolfgang and kaos
So what I learned from this: Earlier games had a lot more unfair bullshit, but later games just throw a shitton of effects at your screen to make it harder. Seriously the further he got the more I had problems seeing what's even going on. While the graphics improved visual clarity was disregarded completely. I found the original game quite hard for a kids game, especially the last level, which had to do with our small selection of Skylanders as well as the bosses being bullet sponges, which they did NOT change as seen in the video. Skylanders was either too easy or just really frustrating, no in between. Honestly not that sad that Skylanders is dead now, they never managed to make a well balanced game, there always was a lot of pay2win included.
I definitely agree but I have to say this entire project was a ton of fun and I had a blast playing through even the clearly unfair and unpolished parts of the games.
@@kryptkrusher Yeah they can be fun games and aren't that bad, but oh boy can they be frustrating at times, they failed to find a good core to build upon, each game has some sort of issue and they never found a solution for it. But, nice video, I enjoyed it a lot, you got a new subscriber 😁
51:29 brought back way more memories then it should’ve
The only character i could genuinely hit grenade generals with was whirlwind in giants or drobot if i was lucky enough to have him somehow aim upwards
Yes let's go!
I love how jawbreaker is the name of a skylander on trap team and at the same time it’s the name of that green guy In Kaos Kastle at Skylanders Giants chapter 9
Man, that "most watched" bar tells you what everyone wanted to see: Flandre Kaos.
I absolutely loved this game when I was younger, glad to see someone still post this game!
Now this, this is the content we need on youtube.
Beating Nightmare mode in every game is an impressive feat for sure, but I beat every heroic challenge with every SSA/Giants Skylander I own. It took me around a year of work, but I finally did it a few days ago.
Disclaimer: Please do NOT attempt this unless you are stupid or have absolutely nothing better to do with your time. This was easily one of the most agonisingly tedious experiences I have ever willingly committed myself to. I had to take frequent breaks and play other games between each session to stop me from going insane.
Repeating the same set of 50 challenges an average of 80 times (that's an average of 4000 challenges, correct me if I'm wrong) is not fun and takes a massive toll on your mental health. I literally only did it just to say I've done it.
Of course, I am never resetting my Skylanders ever again.
Glad I’m not the only insane person in this world! Did ya also do all the quests in giants and swap force already?
@@judasansnrw5765 I'm working on that next! Started yesterday actually. I made sure to start in Swap Force first, as completed quests don't carry over from Giants which is annoying.
Just don't play imaginators, afaik its glitched and can potentially remove your progress on heroic challenges
I love your videos not only because it really shows that there’s more strategic combat to Skylanders than I initially thought, but also because you always make me laugh.
Grate job, the kaos trap team will always be the hardest boss fight. You proved it by dying 11 times lol 💜
Time Town is genuinely the most empty level in Trap Team ever
my guy made a full on movie-length skylanders video
now that's respectable
ITS A MIRACLE HE UPLOADED
The opening is a perfect representation of how it is to play nightmare mode sometimes.
Caddicarus had his ultimate video game challenge with 101%'ing Crash Bandicoot 4. This is your version of that.
I will say about the barrels in the lost city of arkus, if you use Terrafins dig ability, you can go underneath and be fine
Brilliant video buddy, the nostalgia really kicking in here about a whole forgotten part of my childhood I played it on the Wii haha, appreciate the funny cut-aways during the content to break it up a bit certainly effective and the video doesn’t feel as long as it is. Keep up the great work certainly earned a sub!
I have actually watched this whole video 7 times
I’ll edit it when I completely watch it again
I loved that bit where he said "Now I know it's not the most dignified way" to instant cut to next level
I was expecting a “but” but I didn’t get one.
i’ve missed your content so much,i hope you continue making videos cause your vids are amazing
I love the giants low health sound effect because the faster it goes, the more it reminds me of how bad I am at the game
Bro should have grinded with terrafin. He has fast, good damage dealing melee attacks, mean combos, a great belly flop and an invulerability ability to get away. Plus he can deal damage from a distance with his mini sharks.
He's also my favourite if you havent gathered.
Hey I love your videos and I’m so glad someone’s keeping the series alive! After watching this i remembered a challenge I did with swap force a while ago and figured I’d challenge you to try it. I called it a skylanders nuzlocke where you start with one random skylander (no giants or swapers) and you play on nightmare mode. Every level you win you get another random skylander (either a normal skylanders or a random swap half) but if one ever dies it’s dead for good it took me quite a few attempts but eventually I beat it.
Bro i thought my trap team disk was broken and not that dream catcher was just poorly made and crashes the wii. I gave up when i was younger and never actually beat the game. Thank you i will now spend the next month on that game
Nice to see you uploading again krypt!
I find dream catcher an annoying boss when she uses her game crash move it’s super effective lol
Not to mention a Wii exclusive attack, when I first bought Trap Team I made the mistake of buying it on the Wii so on my Nightmare playthrough of the level I had to restart 14 times before on the 15th try it finally didn’t crash, now luckily o have Trap Team on the Wii U so that is no longer a problem!
@@Kingofportals best part about mine is….I couldn’t. mine just never worked lol so I went with the wii U no problems except for about one or two times when the game crashes, I can never escape that op attack
Man, your humor is impeccable. I'm chuckling out loud every other second. GG Krypt, you're Skylander's strongest soldier.
Dude I litterly remember watching the gill grunt vid like it was only like 2 months BUT ITS BEEN 8 MONTHS!!!
I beat nightmare mode Giants with just a maxed Drill Sergeant, no dying, still respect man 😄
Awesome video and great to see you back Krypt! :)
THE LEGEND HAS RETURNED.
41:16
*“GOD NO!”*
Broooo I canttt 😂
I have a channel called “BalladPlus” where I have just started my nightmare run for all 6 games.
With spyros I threw it in so I could gain experience after years of not playing Skylanders and I had 6 deaths in the very last level only.
With giants on nightmare I had 36 deaths and I underestimated how hard it would be even with watching this video, now I’m moving onto the others soon lol.
Love your videos man! Keep it up!
trap team becomes laughably easy if you have koas, he does so much damage and can restore his own timer so there is never any downtime
Kaos is pretty much the prime reason for my no villain rule lol
Krypt king was actually supposed to be a Giant in skylanders Giants that’s why he is so tall his figure always resembles me of a Giant
The Graveclobber death reenactment got a good chuckle out of me. :)
You playing this actually reignited a memory of me have a horrifying fear of Trog wanderers. I used to get terrified whenever I saw them and have nightmares about them
My nightmare mode rating:
5. Imaginators
4. Super chargers
3. Swap Force
2. Trap team
1. Giants
doing this as s1 sprocket is on .my bucket list
Don’t worry, forgetting you’re a TH-cam is normal. It happens to the best of us.
This made me realise I've played every game in the series front to back dang
The Air Geargolem and Tech Geargolem in Swap Force was the bane of my existence when trying to no damage Super Evil Kaos, that and the Brain part
man i love these games so much i miss them so much
I loved that the Kaos fights were actually tough
Fun fact: mirror of mystery is literally impossible on nightmare mode, because Flynn always kills you before you can kill him, literally nothing works. I’ve tried threatpack and used every elemental ability, but Flynn takes me out in just 4 hits
See, he was always so cocky, but it turns out he WAS the best pilot in all of Skylands.
I think this might be a glitch but on your end because the turret sections don’t get harder on nightmare mode.
Kind of sucks though that you payed for bonus content that wont let you win.
I watched this video under a week ago. But now youtube has been spamming me with it after legit every single video and i just decided to watch it again since it’s a good video
I haven’t played since ‘Giants’ you’ve given me a new love for the series!
Ayy nice to see you back man, loved the intro lol
Amazing Video Krypt 👍 (next basically should be Snaper Craker)
I actually just recently finished playthroughs of the Giants to Trap Team on nightmare mode in which I would have to restart the level if I died and I couldn’t switch sky lander mid level unless if it was for opening gates. I also tried not to cheese the bosses in Trap Team.(I used Broccoli Guy). Swap Team was all around the easiest out of the three. In terms of the levels as a whole, Giants was the most difficult. In terms of the main bosses, Trap Team was by far the hardest.
Now try beat giants 100% on nightmare mode, trust me chapter 14,15 and 16 have insanely difficult time requirements
The return of the King
i love playing skylanders to this day i started when it first came out im so happy to still see skylanders content coming out
You are a mad man
36:23
Ancient gear golem sheds a tear every time this guy gets a kill, proving his sons are better than he is
51:29 Im so glad I wasnt the only one. Its sad because this happened so often, I got stuck in the level and never managed to finish the game. Ive tried again recently and it still crashed. Myabe ill try to beat it again, since i love this game, but it wont be the same as before.
@@degoinator i remember that when i tried to do masker mind's mission, it wouldnt let me walk, but the game wasnt frozen. When I tried it again recently, i had done the mission already, but I went to do it again just for fun and it blocked again. Thanks for the tips, I will try as soon as possible, since it is my favorite game in the series
@@degoinator as for the elemental gate, i think I can recall the magical elemental gate giving me trouble too. When I do it, ill tell you how it went.
@@degoinator unfortunatly I have watched walkthroughts already, because i thought i would never get past that point, but this game has so much replayability i dont think it matters too much
@@degoinator im really excited to try nightmare mode, since when I was a child i always just beat the game on normal and waited for the next one to release (and i pretty much got scammed, because who would have guessed that superchargers would be completly different on wii)
@@degoinator i did not. Im excited to try nightmare mode, if i beat telescope towers. I meant i beat the other games in normal, as generalized
I love Skylanders saga in general and I absolutely love this video
You can actually cheese the Chompy Mage and Chef Pepper Jack battles very easily if you use Chopper, High Five, or basically any other new flying skylander. They can literally fly over the shockwaves and lasers so all you have to do is attack the bosses with ease. This works on basically every boss who uses bullet heck.
I'm pretty sure if you do that then the shockwaves increase in height so that you cannot simply fly over them (this may be exclusive to nightmare mode idk)
If only we had DK from Superchargers with his legendary barrel.
