We just picked up the Gamestop exclusive Light trap but do not have the Light Elemental Character. Do you have to have the Light elemental set to trap other villains? When we put the light trap in Eon wont let us put Eye-Five in the trap, saying this is for a new kind of trap I will tell you about later. How can we use this for other Light Villains?

EDIT - You cannot trap any light villains until either trap master or location piece from the light expansion pack is placed on your portal. So, get to buying!

Eye Five - Chapter 7
Blastertron - Chapter 13
Lob Goblin - Nightmare Express Adventure Pack
Luminous - Sunscraper Shire (Light Elemental Pack)

We have Eye-Five in our jail but it wont let us put him in it.

Yeah, I don't think the game registers "Unknown", as "Light" and "Dark" until you put Knight Light/Sunscrpaer Spire on,

That's kind of silly. So do the extra elements appear in the collections screen when the light trap goes in, or does nothing happen at all? I'm hoping this was a programming oversight as opposed to Activision milking an extra expansion pack out of anyone who buys a single light/dark trap.

When you add the expansions, what was listed as unknown, say either light or dark, whether the vault, the villains, the gates, etc. Definitely not a programming oversight by any stretch.

Actually, the Trap Masters unlock them too, even if a single one will only unlock the Gates for that specific Element.

No, the light element does not show up in the collection area when you use the Lob Goblin Trap if you have not used the Liight or Dark expansion pack yet.

I think it is stupid that you cannot trap the villains if you have trap. I understand not being able to go into the portals but come on. Another way to get $50 bucks from you.

You need either a light/dark trap master or the light/dark expansion to "unlock" the new elements. The light/dark trap don't unlock the new elements and therefore won't work unless you have placed before one of the first four mentioned items.

It's good to know this. I was thinking about picking up the Lob Goblin trap so that we can have a light trap, but if you can't use it, then what's the point? We're not ready to buy the expansion packs, and may not be spending that much until my son's birthday in May. This is a horrible joke.

do you mean the trap that has rebel lob goblin in it?

^Yes. you are basically paying $6 for a trap that you can only play as THAT villain, since you can't trap the other compadres without the pack.

I think this is stupid, the trap should unlock everything by itself. It's a dumb money scam :-(

sorry if this sounds silly,

what if we just unlock only the LIGHT element using Knight Light/S.Spire, what happens to the DARK elements stuff? still registered as mystery ??

You can technically trap Dark villains (even if no Dark trap is available in a Single Pack, as of now), but the Dark Gates are still treated as Unknown.

No they aren't. I just got the light pack today without having the Dark pack but all the Dark gates are there.
You only need on or the other for the ? to go away

The sunscrapper spire and the rest of the adventure packs get recorded somehow in the game once you have placed them, in other words, you only need it once, after that, you don't no need to place it again to replay the chapter. That said, borrowing the sunscrapper from a friend and placing it on the portal will give you acces to the expansion (and will also unlock the light and dark elements, therefore giving acces to trap the villains with their corresponding traps). Is just a pity all this thing about peope buying the light trap and not the expansion pack.

Weird...

When I first put Knight Mare on the Portal, and then played Midnight Museum, the Light Gate inside it still had the "?" on it...

Might have been a glitch.

No, I havent tried using it to trap, But It does allow me to put Eye Five inside the trap, and I'd assume it would be the exact same with Blastertron

Now the trap has let us put Eye Five in it but now Rebel Lob Goblin is gone. He doesnt even show up. WTH????

PAL X360 version, and I could use the Light Rocket PERFECTLY before the EPs were even available here.

I don't know if it changes anything, but beforehand I also glitched into and collected everything from the Light/Dark Gates with Spotlight and Blackout's Soul Gem, as well as the one in Future of Skylands...

Try to capture his regular counterpart, it should show up as Rebel, inside that trap.

Or perhaps it had something to do with the console? I played it on Wii so that may have something to do with it.

May be... I'm playing on the PS4, by the way.

Or I simply remember it wrong, and just confused the Light symbol with a question mark...
I was so excited to play the Midnight Museum that it's possible...

No, I played the Nightmare Express and beat Lob Goblin, and it let me put him back in and he was still Rebel

We went ahead and bought the Lob Goblin trap, today, and when we placed it in the portal it unlocked everything. My son went to the villain vault and was able to put Eye Five in the trap. He also found a light gate and it had the symbol on it. The dark villains even had the dark symbol next to their names. So it seems that any item of the new elements will make them "known".

One thing that I wondered about is that there was a small update (around 12 MB, if I remember correctly) the week the element packs were released at Toys R Us. There was a message in the game (a little envelope icon appeared on the main screen) that said light and dark were available to purchase. I wonder if the update lets people unlock things without the element packs since some people say that it doesn't work. Or maybe they're just confused.

^ My X360 was completely unconnected from the net, so it wasn't the update.

OK. It was just a theory since there was so much conflicting information.
