I looked at the end-of-level Collection screen in egowhity's Soda Springs walkthrough, and I noticed "Legendary Treasures" wasn't on it. If I remember, there's always been at least one of each collectable in every level for the past three games. There was a Winged Sapphire there too, so I think LTs would of been there too.

I can't post the video because I'm on a 3DS.

No big deal for me if they don't return

Winged Sapphire is definitive needed.

Yeah I will care if they don't return

Legendary Treasures were the biggest scam of modifying skylanders I have ever seen. Instead of earning it for the specific skylander, they cheapened toys to life and simply made it a wearable collectable. I do like the idea of having utility to the stuff you do in the game, but I like doing something with the specific skylander to earn those upgrades. I'm pretty sure the Skylander loyalists made that abundantly clear when they released Swap Force. It looks like maybe outfits will do this for us in this game, though.

This is unfortunate. I'm wondering how we're going to increase our Siylanders Stats now.

Perhaps... heroic challenges are back?

It had better be Heroics. I sorely missed those in the last game.

I prefered Legendary Treasures when they were a harder to get Treasure Chest really. At least in Giants and SSA some would have the gold from chests fall out of cliffs, so just being awarded the money amount for both players was really convenient. Not to mention customizing the Dread-Yacht(the one that looks good and doesn't have a horrible paintjob from the get go,mind you) was hilarious.

I would be more than happy, if they decided to bring back Heroics... As long as they let older characters unlock their challenges too.

That wasn't funny at all, in Giants.

I really hope they don't bring back heroics. Having to play the same missions over and over again with each Skylander got so tedious. And it would be even worse now that there's even more characters!

Better than having to deal with a laughable amount of speed boosts in SF. Spending the time to have a Skylander with the stats you want was kind of one of the things they put emphasis for the 'toys with brains' back then.

You never had to do them. You wanted to. I don't understand why people say that they don't want them back because they HAVE or NEED to do them all. Sometimes you act like your addicted to Skylanders in a druggy sort of way.

I really don't care much about Legendary Treasures that much even if they don't return in STT. But what if TfB or Activision forgot to add Legendary Treasures?

I personally hope they don't bring back Heroic Challenges. There is nothing Heroic about repeating a scenario 30ish times over and over again. Personally I think they need to focus on specific traits for each Skylander. Tanks should feel more tanky, DPS should feel more nukey, Healers...well we don't really have healers but you get my point. I don't want the same stats on all my Skylanders. I want each one the feel unique. I've suggested something in the past along the line of a personal mission that would have a random dungeon generator so each time you did it the lay out would change. Each time you completed it on any other Skylander that completed it they would gain a small stat boost. However the Skylander who's mission it was for would unlock, not only bonus stats but a special move. Think WoW Pow but you had to earn it. I also think Skylanders should gain some small stat. increases from the act of leveling. Simply gaining HP is lame. That being said I doubt we'll see something new. It's either Heroic Challenges or Leg. Treasures...Yah!!! for our side.

I totally agree with you. I just can't stand having to play the Heroics so many times as my many different favorite Skylanders. Heroics are the worst, because they kill so much time that I hardly had any for myself or to spend with others.

See I actually felt like the activities I chose in Swap Force were just that, my choice. I'm not saying I overly liked Leg. Treasures but I definitely dislike the way Heroic Challenges were in SSA and Giants. In Swap Force there was so much to do I didn't feel forced to do anything but knew there were ways to improve my toons. There were Charms, Leg. Treasures and Hats. Also completing Portal Master Ranks unlocked further Hats, Leg. Treasures, etc. There was always something to do.

On a side note most of us posting on these and other boards are teens, young adults, gamer adults or parents that play. There is a lot of back and forth of "this is a kids game we shouldn't expect much" or "adults are buying and playing too so they need to make it more mature". Looking at Pokemon as an example, I think that is a franchise that makes the perfect execution of having and eating said proverbial cake. Think about it...it does both. Kids get the thrill of the hunt of catching and battling cute and awesome little pocket monsters either with the game or friends. It can stop there and their totally happy. But for the older more complex gamer there's online battling, breeding, shinnies, I.V.'s, etc. The average 8-12 year old might not care but it's there all the same not taking away from either audience's fun or enjoyment. Skylanders needs to "Evolve" (pun totally intended) to stay in the game. There is no reason why they can't keep the little kids happy with the base/core game the way it is but also make us more mature gamers that are looking for a more complex layer(s) happy as well.

I too think Heroic Challenges are broken and I'm a fan of it from the upgrade perspective---but it's too redundant. Legendary treasures are on the opposite ends of the scale--get it once and everyone gets a stat boost. I hope they have something that meets in the middle.

Legendary tresure just added boost to your characters I liked that along adding a hat to ur fav skylander giving little more boost heroics can be annoyed as said above i did all in ssa with warnado and most annoying hearing Cali talk when you go to her or brake them vases I enjoy Tessa voice better. I'm glad Rufus gone -n-

I personally think that legendary treasures are not that necessary. Because with them, all my Skylanders can upgrade really fast and they get crazy boosts etc. I want TT to be super tough for me or else there's just no fun in it

First game they were pointless. Second game they were kinda pointless. Third game they weren't as pointless. But I'm okay with them not coming back.

As long as they are obtained in game, like the Bonus Missions in Swap Force, thats ok. Legendary treasures were cool in giants, to customize the ship. In Spyro's Adventure and Swap Force, not so much. Kinda pointless. I'll not miss them, sincerely.

Now, I really don't like the idea of Heroic Challenges returning unlocked by figure purchases again.

In truth, thats my main concern about this game.

Well, think about it...if you get additional content for the characters you have then there's no cause for concern. That was how they did this for Giants. The only part of that that "breaks" in my opinion is that for ALL characters to have ALL stat upgrades each character had to play ALL of the heroics.

In my opinion, if they unlock ONE heroic that can update THAT character's stats for the game without needing to play everyone else's heroic I think we are in business.

Humm... that's a very good idea indeed! If the heroics are character exclusives that would solve the problem. Even if they are element exclusive, like someone suggested before, it will be better,

I feel there are problems this. If it's just one heroic per character, you would hope that they will boost every stat afterwards. However, then we're looking at the potential of that crappy +1 speed boost from Swap Force all over again. The lack of any speed boosts at all in Swap Force was what bothered me most with the treasures and charms. Doing all the heroics gave many more points to speed and I liked that.

The only other thing is that obviously nobody but the characters featured in this game would have a heroic challenge. That's a lot of past characters that will have no opportunity to get any boosts.

They are returning, look here. http://youtu.be/_He8Sm4yFm4?t=4m51s

So it's not for every level? Odd, but not impossible, maybe they're back to their use from Giants and there's no need for 18 of those.

Guys, the Heroic Challenges were also you're choices. You didn't HAVE to do them over and over again unless you wanted to. Besides, I didn't mind Heroic Challenges. They at least increased you're Skylanders stats rather than those Bonus Missions just giving out money that's useless to a fully upgraded Skylander.

Amen, brother! Nobody forced anyone to play Heroics, so people need to stop saying that they have to do it. You can finish the game just fine without a single heroic challenge. I made the choice to do them and actually enjoyed them since they improved my Skylanders. I never had to: I wanted to.

Yep...including Heroics is nothing but win---don't like it--don't play it. There's still plenty of people that like the idea of doing something with your skylander to upgrade it. If they can improve the deficiencies with the model I'm all for it.

I think they just removed them from being shown earlier. Don't know why they'd bother to do that. But who knows. They removed collectibles before during gameplay videos, so I think that's what is going on here.

I was watching a video from YouTube, and I believe the Legendary Treasures will return. Here's the video I found at 4:51.
