Don't worry, I'll put this behind a big spoiler, even though I don't think I'm spoiling anything per se..this is for the Xbox 360 version..very bummed about this, already tweeted @SkylandersGame, thinking about starting an Occupy Activision movement..

I had some problems during the final boss as well,but it wasn't anything that affected the gameplay.After restarting it,I started hearing some strange noises,and as the battle progressed I noticed it was the sound of Gill Grunt using his primary attack over and over again. Funny thing is,I only used the power hose attack when I used him.After restarting it once again the sound disappeared,though.

(but that doesn't mean I finished it...Man,talk about a hard boss)

ha, yeah, I here you, strange things definitely happen on that last level (from gates not opening right, to those platforms not moving to get the keys)..but maybe it was good karma to finally have posted this, as we just finished it! My son ran downstairs so fast to tell his mother, it was pretty awesome! However, in another unfortunate event, I did not get the achievement for buying all the upgrades for one character and I didn't do any of the stuff to cause the glitch, so on to researching/solving that one now..

Never really had any problem with the last level, beat Kaos with 5 Skylanders and think I went through 3 of them. Did use the bonus Pirate Seas/Darklight Crypt items though.

Sucks about the game glitching though! Hasn't happened on my Wii, thank god that would drive me insane on the final boss.

But yeah once you learn all the Hydra attack patterns it's actually pretty easy. Now that I have most of the Skylanders I just zerg Kaos and ignore most of the battle going on around me and he seems to die pretty fast.

I have a wii too and I never had any glitching issues. I wonder if only the Xbox version has that problem?

i have the ps3 version and completed the last level on the first try(3 characters), no problems... you checked your game disc? maybe you got a bad disc or it is dirt/finger prints. if it is a bug with the game and the x360 version, we will hear more about them in the coming months, i guess...

but now that you have finished the last level, do you still have problems with it?...

I lost 2 times when I first played the last level... (and I had 8 Skylanders).
I finally did it with Whirlwind and 1% health.

Now I've got 11 Skylanders and I still have problems to win. I only won two times yet. I don't know how many times I tried this but I guess more than 20.

have you leveled to 10 and bought all upgrade and done all heroic challenges?... at the end kaos have a few spells that kill you in one or two cast... those are pretty nasty, if you cant get away from them... i got boomer because of the last level and gonna test him. i heard he should do the job easily.

Yes, but at the moment I reseted them to try the other paths. Maybe it's easier then... I think I might have uses the "wrong" path for me so my Skylanders were too week.

yeah but some skylanders can be weak even if they got the good path. because of missing heroic challenges, wrong hat etc.. there is alot of try and error to be done i think.. after a year or so hopefully someone put up a proper guide on the net

I didn't have this problem, although I am using the Wii version (and to be honest, Xbox version is always my last resort console - I've had so many glitches with that darn console....). All I can suggest is emailing customer support, provided you haven't done so already.

I beat the boss on my 2nd try. I was goofing around to much on my first try.

Boomer does rock on the final boss if you have upgraded his dynamite path, you can dodge all the obstacles and just keep chucking dynamite at Kaos the entire fight. Does a decent amount of damage too!

was thinking about going for the dynamite path so that sounds awesome...

I used and kicked his behind, with more than half of my health left. Will still try it with the rest.

I had no problems with the last level of my game. Probably because my Terrafin kicks his butt really fast before they can even begin the glitch!

The first time my kids did have a problem taking out kaos. Now my 5 year old does it for fun on his own. He usually goes through about 4 or 5 characters to do it too. Its on a Wii.

We had the game freeze on the loading screen between the level and the Kaos battle, otherwise no problems.

I've had my game glitch out when i have two characters on the portal and constantly changing it in the middleof fights, maybe its one of those, trying to load too much at the same time kind of deal. Otherwise i've not had any other kind of freezing problem, i have the ps3 version btw.

but i still had a hard time beating the last level, went thru tons of skylanders lol

Are you sure it is glitching? It is a very hard level to finish!
I know it is weird the whole game is pretty simple then you get to a boss fight and all of a sudden it becomes a very difficult game!
The first time I went through all my Skylanders and did not finish it!!!! My Mom's husband is still stuck on this level!

The second time I did it no problem only use one Skylander!!!
I also used the pirate swords from the Pirate sea adventure pack do you guys have those?

Hints: Try using other magic items if you have any??? Make sure your characters are level 10....put some good hats on them too!

Man this game is a smorgasbord of glitches. They need to hire some more testers!

Thank you

My son and I were on our last figure (of 19) on the life source boss fight (he's 7 and I'm old LOL), but by the time we got to Kaos, we breezed through it. We lost 1 Skylander, MAYBE 2. I can't remember.

Ignitor was kicking some serious butt in that fight, as I recall.

Thank you

It may not be the testers fault, but they are apart of the QA department and if they cannot relay the info to design/engineering then really, what can you expect?

Out of all the problems in the game, one would think the stopping before #23 would have been found and fixed.

Did you read the article? They do relay the info, afterward they can't do nothing more you know...

They can vocalize how disastrous the problem is and insist that the problem be fixed before shipping the game. I know the trend has been to rush to market even if there are a few problems in the game. But for consoles, there is no "we will patch it later" as you cant patch a console game.

Ok smart girl, how do you alter the code on a CD ROM or a DVD ROM?

These patches are downloaded on the game console itself. It's pretty hard on a wii, but really common on a PS3 and X360.

In 90% of the games with multiplayer content there are patches.

You can still get patches for games via online connection just like you can download a patch for a PC game. The patch for the PC game isnt magically added to the existing CD either its placed into the installed files. In the case of the console game it reads them when it plays the game from the Wii/PS3/360s hard drive.

We had the game freeze on the loading screen between the level and the Kaos battle, otherwise no problems.

Same here!What consle are you on?

I'm on a PS3, Drobot

I've never gotten glitches on the last level...

But I did have to replay the final battle with 8 Skylanders at the time. Threw my weakest ones out first; then my "strongest"/more upgraded ones when nearing the end.
I think I replayed the last level about 4 times.

We've gone through that chapter at least 3 times and have not experienced any glitches. We are playing on the Wii version.

The main problem I found is the darned lifts OF SPIKES!

I was playing co-op with my brother, we got so annoyed, I dropped out as he did the whole lift thing

can anyone help me? i cant replay the last level anymore, one of the big gates (the one after the big door with three locks) wont open, im just stuck there. i really want to fight kaos again...

Thats not good!

@SparCrux1101: Did you gather the keys to open the gate? Should be to the right of the gate...every time you go through the level, you'll need to do it again.

Yeah, and it's a lot worse than you think when it comes to that. If a game has a release date for the holiday season, it WILL ship on that date, unless there's a game-breaking bug that can be replicated 100% of the time.

And let me tell you how easy it is to test a game when you've got a team of eight people, the final build is provided to you six days before the game goes gold, forcing you to re-test the game from start to finish on FOUR DIFFERENT VERSIONS of the game, each of which have their own unique bugs. You don't sleep much that week.

And when it's all said and done, the result of reporting the bugs to the people in charge ends with: "This game WILL be on the market before Black Friday, and that's final. Besides, you can't make that crash happen every time, right? So the game still CAN be completed. If it keeps happening, we'll roll out a patch in the first couple weeks. How many gamers are actually going to complete the game in the first week?"


This particular example obviously isn't about Skylanders, and was from a game released a few years ago, but I imagine the release of Skylanders was very similar. The last comment also shows just how out of touch the people funding and releasing the games are with actual gamers!

Really its the time limit for me

yeah i had the same glitches where I would defeat the three minions but once they go into the cut scene ready to be absorbed by the next 3 minions they would come and attack me. but still managed to win with just 1 skylander

a drobot would do the trick i completed that level easy pasy lemonsquezey

i finally figured out what was wrong with it, near the end, a couple sets of enemies arrive on floating platforms attack you, but imstead of fighting them, they would usually fall off.

on my 360, you can always make the knights fall off if you stand as close as possible to where they walk off the platform.
this kills them, and counts them as dead, so I do this often.

You can do it in the PS3 version as well. It's such a fun glitch.

I had a glitch on the PS3 version were one of the 2 floating islands got stuck (the left one I believe) after fighting the knight minions etc. and wiping them out and returning to the island to float back with the key..It wouldn't move..we(in co-op) kept getting killed (with those stupid fangs that do lots of damage) trying to get on and off the platform to try to make it float back. It wasn't until I thought of going all the way back to where you fought the knight minions etc. and ran around that empty paltform and then returned to the floating island that it finally launched. We were down to our last couple of skylanders before we figured that one out and we had all the skylanders and a variant. Talk about "sitting ducks".

I haven't had any problems at all with Kaos or Kaos's Lair... But what you're experiencing is far out of my range... o_-
