go to the mystery gate in know-it-all island and use hood sickle to teleport through and you can get a new hat and well the second thing... just read the title

Just curious, when you unlocked his Soul Gem, did it also unlock the light and dark traps in the collection's screen?

so you can get behind mystery gates without the mystery adventure pack now??..

@kung fu man have not looked yet will get back to you on that but the skylanders did not appear

@countmonebone only the one in chapter 2

Hood Sickle was probably supposed to be a dark villain

Interesting. I'm going to record this but I can't upload it.

OMG! It works! It really works! Blackout looks amazing (Dark dragon WOOT!) I cant wait until he comes out! Does anyone know if Hood Sickle can open the other Mystery Element Gates?

what is the specs on the hat?... what system did you do this glitch on?..

I will have to test this on every other ? gate

^ It works on all system. The stats for the hat are: +5 Armor

okay, not much of worth then...

Just did it and recorded it. Won't upload it though but at least I can see it again.

Does it work with any other skylanders like hoot loop or night shift?

Unfortunately it doesn't, just checked. And you also can't look at the Soul Gem again, unless you start a new save.

We cannot obtain the hat because it requires us to flip a switch which glitches out and won't flip.
EDIT: Nevermind, guess it might be on my system.

Has anyone tried all the other unknown gates yet? I tried the Soda Springs gate and it didn't work.

Just tried Monster Marsh's mystery Gate, it didn't work either.

Chapters 1, 5, 7, Nothing still trying the others

Guess it only works for Soda Springs.

Might be worth trying with other teleporting characters too, and with other gates. Would be interesting to see if some of the really tiny ones can be gotten around (there's a particular life one that needs you to open it just so you can go around a wall in the same room IIRC...)

There was a similair glitch in ssa
you needed hex and stealth elf, stealth elf had to be in front of hex then hex had to make a bone wall so stealth elf could jump over those spike things in the ruins

Works in The Future of Skylands level, but only a hat.

How many Skylanders have teleporting abilities, and who are they?

I think [Night] Shift has the highest chance of getting through the gates because he doesn't have a shadow/similar when teleporting (I think). I've tried a similar thing with Scratch, but it didn't work.

If Hood Sickle's Teleport attack had a longer range, then it might be possible to get through the gates. However, Bruiser Cruiser can punch faster when (primary) is repeatedly pressed quickly (similar to Wallop), so maybe there's a way to extend the range of the Teleport, too.

Worked on Chapter 3: Magic Gate.

I hate that we have to go through stupid measures just to see everything in this game. I miss being able to see everything in story mode 100% like you could in SSA and SG.

It's pathetic we have to do stupid stuff like this, just to have a feeling of playing a complete game. Now, when it comes to Adventure Packs, that's a different story. Those were never needed to 100% the game.

@ GameMaster78: Really? I didn't try the Magic Gates I was more focused on the Mystery Gates.

All the gates should be tested, truthfully

Yeah, I got curious to try on the Magic Gate while I was trying to complete the time on Chapter 3. Honestly, this game is totally killing my buzz about Skylanders. I love the franchise and won't quit it, unless those who make the game go to outlandish lengths to do something so stupid it makes me scratch my head and say, "what the heck were they thinking?"

I hate the fact I spent 15 bucks a piece (actually spent 4,000 on 16 of each) on 14 Swap Force Skylanders and they're useless in this game. No Swap Zones, no reason to swap. I hate the fact I spent 15 dollars on Giants that do nothing but move a rock in this game, when they could have given us new Feats of Strength. I hate the fact the Skylanders I bought in previous games have no use in this game. They can't open Elemental Gates, so we all have to wait on the release of a Magic Trap Master just to see what we should have been able to see on launch day.

Now we're going through hoops just to see new stuff from new elements that should have been revealed to us when they announced the game, which would have created good hype for Trap Team. That way, maybe they would have at least given us Spotlight and Blackout on day 1, so we could truly 100% the main story of the game (ie see everything outside of Sunscraper Spire and Midnight Museum.

I'm just complaining, I guess. I just thought it was sucky that I couldn't see everything in Swap Force until 2 months after it released (needed a Sneak Skylander). Here we are again, playing a waiting game for a Magic Skylander, so we're willing to do what we shouldn't be able to, in a desperate need to see more of the game, while at the same time, we don't know if we can even mention the Light and Dark elements or face getting in trouble for it (not a way to boost consumer confidence in my opinion).

I like secrets, when it's in the form of something like an expanding hub (ie the secrets of Skylanders Academy). Hiding aspects of the game, right down to selling incomplete products (game's main story mode, poster, and Trap Storage box), eh, not too wise of a move in my eyes.

I just don't want this franchise going the way of Guitar Hero, which was mired by a ton of bad choices as the franchise went along. Keeping customers from seeing the whole game from the get-go will end up being a bad thing.

There's a much better way of extending the longevity of a game, and I made a huge post about in another topic earlier today.

Wow, he looks awesome!

Able to use gearshifts flip and get behind the magic gate in lvl 17 with re-spawn but I cant figure out how to get the bridge to come up.....


side note Also you can use hoodsickle to skip the bad juju fight and skystones

hood sickle is OP confirmed...

So it works with just specific gates, not mysterious gates exclusively

I did this a a few hours ago. It was on Instagram for about 5 hours now. He is pretty cool but meh. Not my favorite but I am trying to get every character this year.

It also works with Night Shift

Do any of the gates have hats that are worth it?

Ok, that's better, Thanks

Wow, they is so much fail at multiple levels on the mystery gates...

• knowing that someone would interrogate the file system and find it
  
• not testing/patching the game so simple BUGS in the final product allows you to see it
  

If they can't try hard enough, why should I as a consumer.

Aura......... do you have any pics of the hat? lol

No, but wdrumz posted a video on the hat in his look inside the Dark Gate -

Quote: Buuzer

Thanks! I've just unlocked a new hat + blackout Soul Gem but you can't see him again. the dark and Light elements needs a patch to unlock in the game.
If you make a video about that on YT, Activision will take down your channel.

Unless you have proof, I highly doubt a patch is needed, that would be a bad decision regarding the type of game this is. I have a feeling that it's as simple as adding one of the new element to your collection, then the element is unlocked and the gates changed, much in the way an adventure pack unlocks a level. I know it's not necessarily on topic, but hearing this just sounds really silly to me.

This game is so buggy (at least on co-op I ran into well over 110 issues with glitches ranging from funny to really annoying, people tell me it's better single player), but it REALLY feels like no one at TFB actually played their game.

I've heard from game testers that sometimes developers will just hand it straight on to testing, and then ignore feedback anyway (too costly, too much work, consumers will deal with it). I really don't want to believe this is the case for TT, but it really looks like it is.

Ah ok, it seems the later gate ones have debatable hats at least.

Reducing my consumption of all toys by 50% this go around. Next time I'll make a decision to buy or no buy after the "real testers" tell me the verdict. It's really my fault, I ignored my judgement to go ahead with purchase this time. Won't happen next time (I'll be honest---I currently have faith in VV's ability to execute).

I know how you feel on the last line, GR. After I've had time to let TT sink in, it really pales in comparison to Swap Force. It was subtle things VV did, along with much more overall content that gave Swap Force quite an edge on the other games in the series.

You can do the same with the Mystery Gate at the beinning of Future of Skylands. It's a Light Gate; has some platforms that move when you walk on them, checkboard floors and the collectables are just a Treasure Chest and a Hat (shame there was no Soul Gem). The music is the same as Sunscraper Towers from the OST.

I've tried to get into every other Mystery Gate, but I couldn't reach any more.
