What is needed to make all the ? Gates turn dark/light? And to add the symbols to the collection screen?
Will just a dark/light trap work? (I know I need a skylander to enter the gates)
Will a dark/light skylander work? Or is it the Location Piece that unlocks it (I know I need it to unlock the levels)

Location piece.

I think maybe a Trap Works

A character and a location piece work

You put a light a light or dark trap master on the portal then the gates will turn light or dark

Does anyone know if just a Light or Dark Trap will work?

I'm gonna try that when I get them.

I think it doesn't matter what light or dark peice you put on, I got both light and dark packs on dec 21 from toys r us. I enjoy on hearing how it plays out on your end

So what's the scoop on dark/light? If I got to TRU today in a random skylander hunt with my son, are we looking at a 0% chance of scoring either of these two packs?


Also, do you actually find out about light/dark in the game itself? Eon says he'll tell us about it later and we just finished the Painyatta level. Should I wait until the discovery is made in-game? My little one is very intrigued by the mystery gates.

When you put anything on the portal that it is from the light or dark element (including the location pieces) they will transform.

Isn't that amazing? Eon is totally dumb about these unknown elements...and then...suddenly educated on what's going on.

I have a strict rule of allowing rules of logic to be stretched when dealing with floating heads.

They are not unlocked in the game until you put a character from the light or dark elements once you put on either the sunscraper spire or midnight museum you get a cutscene about the elements

When I first put my Knight Light on the portal, I put him near a "? Unknown Gate", then the gate instantly turned into a Light Gate and then the Light/Dark icons appeared on the collection screens. This was before I put in the location piece.

What about the trap?

I understand the unlocking part. What I'm trying to determine is if the light/dark element surprise is worked into the storyline and if I should go further on before surprising my (to this point having no clue about the mystery elements) son.

IE: Would it be a bigger/better surprise to just happen upon them in the store in a skylander hunt? Or to let the storyline play itself out first (ie get further in the game beyond painyatta level) and let the surprise unfold that way first?

It's not mentioned during the actual story. You get the small cutscenes explaining that the breaking of Cloudcracker Prison also unlocked each new element when you place the location piece on the portal for the first time for each respective element.

Looks like the old school hunt will do then. Thanks. Be interesting how long it takes for us to stumble upon these...but I want it to be an in-store discovery. That'll be fun.
