ratsinthehallway Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I looked around the internet a bit but couldn't find an answer. If I have the Giants starter pack with portal and figures, would I be able to Platinum Spyro's Adventure, assuming I were able to find just the disc used? Thanks.

soihy Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I didn't think that the Giants figures could be used for the original game (could be wrong though)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratsinthehallway Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 (edited) Ah, that makes sense. The Giants starter pack comes with 1 Giant and 2 non-Giant figures. The two non-Giants are Jet-Vac (series one?) and a Series 2 Cynder. If Series 2 didn't work with Spyro's Adventure, though I think it might (just assuming), would a Series 1 Jet-Vac be enough to Platinum the game? Edit: From the trophy guide, looks like I'd need a water skylander, which I don't currently have. Any others offhand?

soihy Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Yeah, you'd need the Gill Grunt figurine to platinum the first Skylanders, which you should be able to pick up second hand pretty cheap (as every man and his dog that owns the first game will probably have one!). Apart from that character, there are no others required for platting. And there's no S1 Jet-Vac either unfortunately! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratsinthehallway Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 Thanks for the replies everyone - very helpful. Now that I know buying it used is an option, I'll keep my eyes open at the local game shops and also try to pick up a Gill Grunt when I have the chance.

Katzii_Yataki Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 You could always use a Series 2 Gill Grunt for this; the only usable figure from the Giants starter set would be Cynder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratsinthehallway Posted August 18, 2013 Author Share Posted August 18, 2013 Thanks. You can pick up a Gill Grunt for $3 or $4 on eBay, after shipping, so I'll probably go with that. I'm not too picky... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilspacecow Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 You actually need at least 3 different skylanders (one of them has to be Gill Grunt) to plat. You have to complete 3 challenges and need 3 characters to unlock 3 challenges. Any series 2 will work for Spyro's Adventure, BUT lightcore ones will not. So your Cynder will work. Also, getting the hats will require a variety of elements to get past enough gates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonSpear360 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 You actually need at least 3 different skylanders (one of them has to be Gill Grunt) to plat.

Also, getting the hats will require a variety of elements to get past enough gates. My lightcore Eruptor (series 2 I believe) works just fine with Spyro's Adventure. My advice would be to google the Series One checklist and see which skylanders work in the original game. For instance, I have Pop fizz, JetVac and Flashwing all from Giants, but none of them work with Spyros Adventure. I platinumed Spyro's Adventure with a series 2 Terrafin, series 2 gill grunt, series 2 Double Trouble and a series two Drill Sergeant! Granted, you won't be able to 100% the game without one of each element, you'll be able to platinum the game with the three in the starter set (all of which you can get on ebay for about 3-5 each used.)

NECROSMOKE_ Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 You can only use Spyro's Adventure characters in the newest series like Giants Swap Force ect. Also you can use a few ew characters in Spyro's Adventure. I used Ninja Stealth Elf and Twin Vladimir Chop-Chop from Swap Force to get trough on life and undead gates( not necessary for the plat) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
