Well I'll hold from giving any real hints then beyond I would recommend going for the key first.

Yep. Getting the key is essential. I have a pattern down where when I unlock that door with the 13 charms, those are the ones I need to reach the goal.

So today I was trying to do the heroic challenge with all the jump pads and magic gems/charms in it. (You'd think I could remember what they were called after listening to Cali drone on and on about them before each run. Wish you could skip that).

Still wish you could skip the challenge preamble before each run though, that DOES frustrate me.

You can...at least in Wii...you hit the "c" button on the numchuk and it skips her pre-challenge speech. Unfortunately though you cannot skip her post challenge commentary.

It's actually not tough to do any of the Heroic challenges once you go through them once to get a feel for the layout. I've done all of them on Whirlwind(my personal favorite) and most of them on others, my son gave up on them though, he will only try Stump Smash's heroic challenge now.

i had real trouble with those labyrinthine earth elemental challenges, holy cow. where the heck is everything?
i just looked up a youtube guide and did what they did (except faster)

my legendary trigger happy beat all the challenges i have so far, now on to trigger happy

Don't give up my friend! I have the Wii version, and I've completed every Heroic Challenge there is with Spyro, Voodood, Dino-Rang and Zap. All it takes is to simply memorize the challenge, and it's easy flying from there. For those who are having trouble, I'll post some videos on Youtube to help you out. :-)

this.

Has anyone else been unable to complete Lightning Rod's challenge? The final teleport pad will not appear, even after I defeat all the enemies. I'm using the PS3 version, if that makes a difference

This is a known glitch - please search the forum for a solution which seems to work (but I have not had a chance to try myself yet).

Yeah, there's a whole topic about Lightning Rod's challenge. I got around it by starting a new game in which only Lightning Rod had ownership on the file (keep the others with ownership locked to your current file), and unlocked the Challenges, and did all of Lightning Rod's on that file.

Alright... First off, these challenges aren't hard, it's just certain ones that are annoying.

Secondly, you're going to have to reset those characters who have upgrades that have automatic attacks(Zapper Satellites, Ghosts, etc) and go through these challenges at LV 1.

Third, going through Zook's challenge with himself, isn't hard either.


Tips

1. Start at LV 1, with no upgrades whatsoever, and ONLY do speed challenges, first

2. With Zook going through his own challenge, try to lure the trolls to you, that run after you, away from the pots. Also, when taking out the grenade troll, try shooting MIRV's at him, from a lower position. Also, you can try shooting those trolls at different positions, that rocket shrapnel doesn't hit the pots. Experiment with different positions.

3. With Drobot's challenge, when chompies surround you. just make green chompies follow you, and take 'em out one by one.


You shoulden't just give up at somethin', just cuz it doesn't go your way. Be flexible.
