Several of our villains have lost their "evolved" status while switching them out, it hasn't happened to all of them, just a few. Anyone else have this happen?

Villains' save data are all saved onto the traps. If you have an orb trap and a skull trap for example, and you capture Wolfgang in the orb and finish his quest, that quest data will be saved to the orb. If you switch him from the orb to the skull, you'll simply have to do his quest again in the skull trap. Finish it and his data is now saved on the orb and the skull, and cannot be erased no matter how many villains you trap and evolve on those traps. No big deal except for Hood Sickle; his quest is in the academy and you can't redo it, so if you want to do his quest multiple times, you need to start an alternate save file and do his quest there.

Great Explanaition!

Yeah, that how we were able to put evolved on ultimate kaos trap, them later put regular kaos on regular trap...

I still think Hatterson should have had Hood Sickle's quest available in his shop after the quest is originally completed, so that it would be possible to repeat it without starting a new save.

It sounds like an oversight.

One that should be addressed in a patch. Any news if Activision is going to fix any of these anamolies? I mean, it's kinda funny to say "just don't do that" in response to a legitimate product defect. If it were one or two, sure...but I think we've cataloged several dozen at this point.

read TrapShadowFan post and you will have your answer... no new patch needed.

For the hood sickle quest. Just back up your save before you do the quest and when ever you want to do the quest restore the save. I haven't done the quest in my nightmare play through so I have backed up that save to a usb and if I want to do the quest I recover that save when I need to.

I do believe they should fix it and a reset trap option would be nice. I also think the quests should have unlocked in the Hub after you completed them in the level.

what system are you playing tt on?.. and by the way villains get saved on the trap not the game save..

I know villains save to the trap. I'm on PS4. I was saying you start a new game get up to the point where you unlock hood sickles quest, make sure the game saves. Quit the game go in to your systems memory and copy that save to a USB drive. Then all you have to do is copy the save from the USB drive back to the system when you want to do Hood sickles quest.
