I am at 88% complete, but suddenly have a problem with the "enemy goal" portion of the completion in the later levels. I have searched this forum, but not finding anything conclusive. I have seen posts saying that you have to kill every enemy (done that), and that you have to wait and let enemies spawning minions kill an unspecified number of minions before you kill them. I have tried both strategies, but still missing this in my completion. The levels that I am currently missing this on are Cadaverous Crypt, Arkeyan Armory and Quicksilver Vault. I have gone through each of these levels a half dozen times, but still no luck. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

Honestly, I normally reach the "Enemy Goal" without even noticing it. You got it right when you said you have to kill EVERY enemy in the stage, but apparently it's more like killing a certain amount of enemies. A good way to "cheat" this is if you have Sonic Boom. Spawning her baby Griffins and having them die while fighting (or just die in general) counts towards the Enemy Goal. I've only had to use this method once and it was on the Empire of Ice. It works. So if you have Sonic Boom, give it a try.

From what I've seen, even if you have the things that spawn other creatures go on for hours, it won't count; the main spawn thing counts.

A lot of the enemies are scattered out onto the extra areas of the level. Specifically, Arkeyan Armory I believe you have to destroy ALL of the orange bot..things.

For most of them, just take a look around and keep an eye out for things that are moving, and get to them.

Play as Sonic Boom. When her babies die, it seems to count as enemies toward the enemy goal. I used this tactic to beat the seemingly glitched Empire of Ice enemy goal on PS3.

I've never had a problem with the enemy goal. I've found that it just means kill every enemy in the main section. If there are enemies in elemental gates for example, they don't count.

I didn't have this issue on the earlier levels! Quick correction, I don't have the enemy goal issue with Cadaverous Crypt. That one only lacks time completion, which I forgot to go back and do. The issue with the enemy goal is in the other two levels.....

Taking a quick break, and then going back to try one of them again. I just hate playing a specific level for fifteen minutes, to be sure I have killed everything, after spending so much time trying to open all levels and get the other completion goals. I know it's part of the game, but not doing anything different from what I did up to the 88% that I'm at, and still no success. Uggh!

Unfortunately, I don't have Sonic Boom, but thanks.

Edit button please

I would say that if you're having problems and have already beaten the levels, to use the walkthroughs on this website. They've, without fail, gotten me to 100% completion.

I have the same problem at the Quicksilver Vault with the Enemy Goal. That's the only thing I need to get 100%. I have three stars everywhere else. I don't have Sonic Boom yet, so that's not an option (just got the game about 3 weeks ago). It really sucks, because I am a perfectionist and I hate not having three stars everywhere. I guess I'll have to wait until I see Sonic Boom somewhere and pick it up. I do think its rediculous, if it really only is beatable if you use Sonic Boom.

I know I got the enemy goal at Quicksilver without Sonic Boom. I'm trying to remember if there are any enemies that can do friendly fire damage like they can in Empire of Ice (which I know is another problematic level for Enemy Goal). I know making sure enemies don't take each other out is a factor too.

If you figure out how you did it let me know, I waited for the electronic thingies to shoot those electro balls and did that for ten minutes, that didn't work. I dont think I had enemies take out other enemies, was pretty fast lol.

Maybe trying another character that spawns additional *expendables* besides Sonic Boom if you have those?? Terrfin with his mini sharks, Double trouble with his clones....Maybe try Ghost Roaster where he turns fallen enemies into ghosts where you can turn around and eat them??

I'm having trouble for the enemy goal in Quicksilver Vault - I'm fine for every other level though.


Also, I had no idea of that Sonic Boom trick.

ok I will try double trouble and terrafin later. I'll let you guys know if it worked

EDIT: I used double trouble and kept poppong them out and it worked... thanks

Yay! Glad to hear it worked.

I don't have double trouble, but do have terrafin. I will try him in a sec. I just spent a good 20 minutes going through it with drobot, but got the same fail. I even let many of the enemies live longer (taking longer to kill them), just in case that had anything to do with it. No such luck. Will do terrafin and update with result. Wish me luck! Really tired of this level already......

Still no enemy goal after using Terrafin..... Going to watch the walk through now. Losing hope on getting 100% completion. This is really aggravating!

I guess it is glitched then without using Sonic Boom or someone to an extent. Is this exclusive to PS3 or does it also happen on 360 also?

Sorry for the delayed response (been busy). I am on 360, not PS3. I have tried to complete this four times since I posted last and still no luck. I used a different character each time and spent at least 30 minutes going through and killing everyone. I even "toyed" with the enemies, letting them live longer before killing them. I am at 93% now, and still have a couple chapters to do. Gonna move on and come back to this when I am done with the others.

I did the EXACT same thing for EoI on Xbox 360. We played that dang level 4 or 5 times, killing EVERYTHING we could find. Finally I said, okay I read on the dark spyro forums that if you play as sonic boom, let her babies die and it'll count towards it... sure enough we went through it again, and it worked! So I'm convinced it does count.

Sounds like I have GOT to get Sonic Boom to complete this level. Oh well...... It will be worth it!

Okay. Spent a week looking for a Sonic Boom with no luck. Finally gave up and bought one off of Ebay. It came today. Put it on the portal and went straight to Quicksilver Vault. Played once, spawning the babies and letting them fight and get killed. Didn't do any of the extra areas. Five minutes later, I had at last achieved the enemy goal for this level. FINALLY! Now I get to see 100% completion when I load my game! Still only have the Pirate Seas adventure pack and haven't completed all of the heroic challenges, so I still have stuff to do. Just so nice to be done with the main story portion of the game. Thanks for everyone's help with this!!!

^yes
I have had problems with a few enemy goals too. Use Sonic Boom or Double trouble.....they seem to work the best!!!

Seems like such a cheap way to get 100%

Well when you run through Empire of ice 7 times and do not get the goal??? Something is not right!!!
I used Sonic Boom once and got it on the first try!

I hate the word glitch, but this HAS to be a true glitch. So glad I finally got it. And I am definitely going to keep the Sonic Boom, after hearing you had the same issue with Empire of Ice!

My son and I got the enemy goal on our first run through EoI. Without using Sonic Boom.

I am sure I never missed anything running through that levels 7 times???
Normally I had no trouble with too many of the goals ....got most on first try???? Someone on here suggested Sonic Boom and it worked!

I hate to parrot what everyone has been saying, but I had a few levels where I was unable to achieve the enemy goal (molekin mine, arkeyan armory, quicksilver vault) and I dropped Sonic Boom on the portal and gave each level another go and got the enemy goal on one run through of each level. I dropped a boat-load of 'boom babies' while going through each level (they are quite good at working over the enemies) so if there is some sort of 'sonic boom glitch' to assure reaching enemy goal, I was sure to get it.

If you do not have Sonic Boom, just subscribe to zoolert.com and set up a/some custom tracker alert(s) (email, text) for that figure and you should be able to acquire it shortly.

Edit: Yes - I am playing on an XB360....

Happy Skylandings! (sorry, couldn't resist...)

Are you both playing on the 360? I am, and from what I've read this issue only happens with the 360. Replies that I have seen online (not just here) seem to show that people with Wii, PS3 and 3DS don't have the issues we have. As for the last post, I had trouble with Molekin Mine and Arkeyan Armory as well. Got those somehow, but could NOT do Quicksilver Vault without Sonic Boom. Bet I tried it 50 times.

Xbox 360 for me! Maybe it is an issue with a certain system. I wonder... hey Himeward what system you on?
Would be interesting to find out.....thought I was going crazy a few times! haha

We have a Wii. So that seems to explain it.

On The crypt, let the spiders form for 8 years. Just kidin'. Well, dont destroy the sack until you are sure about that you have defeated all that you can on chap 17

I had tried that, trust me. The last time I played it (before buying Sonic Boom), I spent a good 30 minutes letting the minions spawn. Still didn't help. From the looks of your profile, you are on Wii. We believe this to be a 360 issue only.

You know you have to kill the enemies in the elemental gates too.

Should be. I have it on a LOT. The others I was like swing swing swing swing with and HAVN'T got it, yet

YES! I got mostly, um, 85% Enemy goal for the 26 levels (MINUS DP)

There have been a lot of theories about this issue, but I researched them all and here's the story:

There are a few stages of Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure where even if you kill all the enemies, it's still not enough to get the Enemy Goal accomplishment. Specifically, the stages Molekin Mine, Quicksilver Vault, and Empire of Ice.

But there is a way to get the Enemy Goal on those stages. The character Sonic Boom has an attack where he has babies. If those babies get killed by the enemies, then their deaths count towards the Enemy Goal. Similarly, the character Double Trouble has an attack where he creates mini versions of himself which explode against the enemy. Those deaths count towards the Enemy Goal too.

If you replace one set of Sonic Boom's babies by creating a second set, then the fact that the first set was replaced does not count towards the enemy goal. If you have Sonic Boom hatch babies into lava, that doesn't count either. The babies must be killed by the enemies. Although the Empire of Ice stage has an area where bombs are dropped on you from above, and it'll work if those fall on the babies.

Terrafin's babies and Stealth Elf's copies do not count towards the Enemy Goal. And having Ghost Roaster eat the enemy's ghost after he kills the enemy does not count as a second kill towards the Enemy Goal.

The Molekin Mine has an enemy called Lava King who spawns Flame Imps. If you leave the Lava King alone for a while and give him time to spawn several Flame Imps, that will be enough to get the Enemy Goal.

The Quicksilver Vault has an enemy called Arkeyan Blaster who launches Projectiles. But killing those Projectiles doesn't count towards the Enemy Goal.

Letting the Imps hit you does not destroy the Imps. You'll still be able to kill them after they hit you. So you don't have to worry about letting them hit you.

This bug has been confirmed for the XBOX 360. I'm not sure if it exists on other systems too.
