Platinum Chest in Giants? Other Magic Items in iOS?? [CLOSED]

OK, so I bought the app, but not the iOS portal yet...

SO:

What does the Platinum Chest do in the console version of Giants?

What happens if you try to use other magic items in Battlegrounds? (Ghost Swords, Sidekicks, Volcanic Vault, Etc)
They are not in the game's menu to buy with gems, but I'd think SOMETHING would happen...

I'd like to know more about this as well. I am new to Skylanders (have had Giants for about a week) and only have SG figures, but I bought the Battlegrounds app from the app store and I'm wondering if I bought the iOS starter kit, if its treasure chest would be of any use in SG or not. Otherwise I don't think it's worth it to me just for the bluetooth portal, because we aren't normally going to pack the portal around with us to the places we would play Battlegrounds at.

I wonder the same thing about the other magic items that aren't marketed for Giants, too. Like the ones from Spro's Adventures, are they useless in SG or are they still helpful there.

I really wish they sold things more individually (i.e. JUST the bluetooth portal by itself or just the disc for Spyro's Adventures so we can make more use of the figures we have without buying more redundant hardware that we don't need)

I don't know yet, but I have a feeling it'll probably just act like the treasure chest from Pirate Seas - maybe you'll get a larger bonus loot than the regular one? Or maybe it'll be exactly the same, but because it's a different item it's like you can use the same item twice in 1 level? Maybe it gives a loot bonus like it does in the iOS version?

Those are the things I can think it might do.

Been confirmed by several users Platinum Chest is just regular in Giants and doesn't even show up "Special". Bummer.

I wish I knew what that was. lol Maybe I'm just not far enough into the game to have found one.

Does that mean that when you put the plat chest on the portal in giants it makes a chest appear with treasure in it or something?

It works exactly the same as the Dragon Treasure from the Pirate Seas Pack outside of Battlegrounds.

Keep forgetting to check but I imagine the other items don't do anything.

I was speculating that the Anvil Rain might give you a few anvils or the ghost swords would give you a few of those sword upgrades or something.

Platinum chest is a normal hidden treasure on giants and, no, u cant place both in the same run. So just useless to have both.

No magic item from ssa or giants works on battleground.

Thats too bad smilie
