This is it. We are getting to the end of Skylanders Trap Team. Today we take on chapter 17 which is the second to last chapter in the game. We attempt to capture the Bad Juju and the Golden Queen. Find out if we have what it takes, and if we have enough Skylanders to survive the Lair of the Golden Queen.
Today we play Chapter 16 of Skylanders Trap Team: The Golden Desert. We make our way through the level trying to get to the Golden Queen’s Lair. Along the way we capture Bone Chompy, and Grave Clobber. Eventually we end this level with an Arena Battle thanks to the Golden Queen, who we will most likely catch in the next level.
Today Lias and I take on the second set of Trap Team Arena Battles called Dreamquake. These arenas all come from the Monster Marsh level where you fight against the Dreamcatcher in her arena. (Though this is NOT the level you trap the Dreamcatcher.) In these battles the floor will constantly split (due to quakes) leaving areas separated by gaps. In addition, each arena battle we play has it’s own set of rules. We used a couple of mini’s that we only had at level 6 to begin with and found that a couple of the arena battles were pretty tough. After playing two sets of Arena Battles so far in Trap Team, I think they have done a better job of making each arena challenge different and more challenging.
Well we are starting down the final stretch. Today we play Skylanders Trap Team Chapter 15 Skyhighlands. We only have one villain to catch again in this level and it’s Tae Kwon Crow. Unfortunately he’s another “mystery” villain, so we are not really able to trap him. Also, he’s the second villain to spend the entire level with a different name, only to take on the new name right at the very end. I’m not really sure what the point of that was this time. It at least made a little more sense with Threatpack. I tackle the level with Hog Wild Fryno, and Conner uses Lob-Star. Give it a watch and see what you think of Skyhighlands.

Today we play Chapter 14 of Skylanders Trap Team: Operation Troll Rocket Steal. I start off as Gearshift as Conner starts with Bushwhack. After we upgrade our characters a little, we head off to try to find and capture Grinnade and Threatpack. On this level we find that we have a couple problems with the co-op jumping puzzles. One of the puzzles may have also been made harder by using Trap Masters. Give it a watch and see how we do.
Today we go into the future with Chapter 13 – The Future of Skylands. See what Skylands looks like 10,000 from now. I start by using Head Rush and Conner uses Legendary Blades as we try to capture the two villains on this level: Blaster-Tron and Wolfgang. Check it out.
If you notice spots in the gameplay that go quiet with the gameplay audio, I had to remove three songs from this level to avoid copyright claims.

Today the boys and I tackle Trap Team Chapter 12 – Time Town. This chapter only has one villain Cross Crow, and it is possible to miss him. Despite having only one villain to catch it didn’t seem too short. There are a lot of areas to find, elemental gates, and even a challenge or two, but those weren’t very hard. Conner starts as Bushwhack while I play as Deja Vu. Watch to see if Conner runs through all of the different Trap Masters again and enjoy SkylanderNutts plays Trap Team – Time Town.
