The update also includes a new set of levels they're calling an Episode Dungeon (it will only be available to play until April 11th so don't hang around!), many changes to lots of existing Skylanders and a lot more changes and fixes.

Guilds in the mobile game Skylanders: Ring of Heroes just got their first bit of actual content, Invasion!

[User Posted Image]

If you're in a guild then once a day you can take on a Dark Doom Raider in an attempt to inflict as much damage as you possibly can, the more damage you do before it defeats you the better your score and the better your reward.

Your individual score will then be combined with your fellow guild members' scores to give your guild a total score. That's used to compete against other guilds on your server with rewards given out at the end of each week based on your guild's ranking.

The game has also seen a new patch that updated a fair few things like adding in the ability to have private realtime arena battles with your friends instead of just randomly selected opponents.

As they continue to prepare for a wider release, Skylanders: Ring of Heroes today updated to add a real time friendly arena mode that lets you fight against other randomly selected players. There's no ranking in this mode so no penalty for losing and there is not yet a way to battle a specific opponent but that is apparently on its way in a future update.

[User Posted Image]

They've also kicked off a couple of new events. The "Create Your 5* Dream Team" event asks you to use the Ultra Premium Summon (800 Gems) and they'll then give you a Legendary 5* Skylander (or 50 Soul Stones for it if you already own it) on the 3rd time, the 10th time, and the 20th time you use the summon. The event lasts 14 days but that's an awful lot of gems to spend....

[User Posted Image]

The second event they've started is "Hugo's Portal Master Mission Book" which is a lot more manageable and gives you smaller rewards for completing a variety of basic tasks. Every three you complete will get you a bunch of bonus gems. This one lasts until the beginning of April.


And there were also a whole slew of other changes as detailed in the full patch notes below:

Today a patch was released for Skylanders: Ring of Heroes that added a whole new type of dungeon to the game: the Cave of Gold.

[User Posted Image]

The Cave of Gold is a new source of coins giving you several thousand gold each time you successfully complete a floor, the catch being that you can only enter three times a day across its five floors so you'll have to be cautious not to venture too high for your Skylanders' abilities. You'll also first have to complete level 2-4 on Normal difficulty to unlock access to the dungeon.

It's still in a limited launch in Australia, New Zealand, and Canada but as it's rapidly approaching Christmas the brand new mobile game Skylanders: Ring of Heroes has started its first in-game event.

[User Posted Image]


Running until the 3rd of January this event simply requires you to complete three very basic daily missions and then spin a wheel to win a prize. There are extra bonuses for every five times you do that up to 30 times so with a limit of three spins per day it'll take at least ten days to earn the final reward of 800 Gems.

It doesn't look like there's anything exclusive to win, just in-game currency, so those not yet able to play won't miss out on too much.

Beta Test Participation Event Coupons

Anyone who took part in the beta earlier this year should check their emails for their coupon, make sure to check your spam folders as that's where it ended up for me. While it says it won't expire until the 30th of June 2019 your email provider might delete the message a lot sooner if it's left sitting in your spam folder unnoticed.

The Reignited Trilogy is finally out so it's time to start covering the new details. To begin with I've created a new page for the brand new Spyro the Dragon Skill Points and one for all of the Spyro the Dragon Achievements/Trophies complete with a couple of maps to help you find certain hidden items. I'll be adding more for Spyro 2 and 3 soon.

In the meantime don't forget that all the old walkthroughs for Spyro the Dragon, Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage (and Skill Points), and Spyro: Year of the Dragon (and Skill Points) still work just fine for their reignited versions (but I will of course still be updating them with new details in the days to come).
