I was playing the final level where you fight Kaos and I got to the Kaos battle and I had to let my son take over because it was difficult for me. We were playing on hard mode. It was a struggle but my son beat Kaos. And that was only on hard!!! I can only imagine how difficult it must be on nightmare! How does anyone even beat Kaos on nightmare? By the way, how do you unlock nightmare mode?

Thank you. I might give it a try. I have 120 figures, so I hope that'll be enough to last the whole battle.

I'm going to get Lob-Star & Blades on Monday then I'll set my difficulty to hard and try to beat Kaos with only:
Deja Vu
Snap Shot
Food Fight
Gearshift
Krypt King
Head Rush
Torch
Lob-Star
Blades
Hijinx
Mini-Jini
Eye-Small

Nightmare mode was insanely difficult, forces you to think every move through very carefully, you get hit once and your doomed.
Going into it, have a villain ready, use a ranged attacker and switch to the villain when the lazers start to avoid an endless death loop of switching skylanders that die to lazers, use ranged attacker to deal damage without getting too close. I found that a lazer path drobot works very nicely for that role.

You get hit once and your skylanders dies? Holy crap! I'm scared! Maybe I'll try it on normal instead. Heh heh... Um.. Yeah.

Not all skylanders will get OHKO'd, but normal cores will for sure. I only used cores against him.

False, I know from experience Bumble Blast can take up to 4 hits from Kaos. He only has 1 ohko attack, and that's Kaos bullets, which hit for 9999

Wait the doom raiders have evolved move sets what are they?

I don't know any of them specifically, but I believe when evolved, the Doom Raiders get a new attack mapped to the x button (wii u). I didn't test it much, but I believe I do recall Gulper having a new attack the first time I evolved him. I really don't use villains much, so I may be wrong.

No, Doom Riders have three attacks from the beginning.
Evolving them only increases their timer and changes their look.

I think that what he meant was that in Nightmare mode, Doom Riders, as bosses, will have new attacks to use.

Evolving Villains makes their attacks stronger as well

all you need to beat nightmare mode is kaos, as long as you got kaos it's impossible (or almost anyway) to die, becaus you can heal yourself.

Yup! When I get a fire trap and an earth trap Nightmare mode is going DOWN!

is a huge pain in the *** on nightmare mode.

Pepper Jack > Kaos in Nightmare Mode. His attack are overpowered because of that damned magma!

And its IMPOSSIBLE to avoid

And I thought I was hard on medium :/

Another thing I noticed, while Dreamcatcher and Krankcase weren't any different on Nightmare, Wolfgang's notes have red skulls rather than white, and they stick around a bit longer, and home in on you. I'm also pretty sure Golden Queen's golden wing thingies turn it into Bullet hell.

I found myself relying on Kaos primarily as a meat shield, you just spam the Magic sigil and Doom sharks!

Kaos as a boss on Nightmare seemed similar to Hard, albeit with ridiculously scaled up damage (Yes, those Kaos bullets do 9999 damage to non Kaos characters), AzarianGo made a rather thorough thread on the numbers.

o-m-g... Im terrified to play Nightmare mode... I DON'T EVEN HAVE KAOS YET! But i will use my bumble blast as he is a BEAST!

I'm doing a nightmare mode run only using skylanders as I find their respective soul gems + the 5 reposes from this game (4 because I am missing TW ) and I fear Golden Queen/Kaos
