Skylanders Swap Force Walkthrough

Skylanders Swap Force is the third part of the Skylanders series, and the follow-up to the incredible Skylanders Giants and the BAFTA-winning Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure – Best Video Game.

In Skylanders SWAP Force, Portal Masters embark on an all new adventure in the mysterious Cloudbreak Islands, home to a mystical volcano that erupts every hundred years to replenish the magic in Skylands. During an epic battle, a brave group of Skylanders were caught in the volcano’s eruption, which blasted them apart and sent them to earth. But, the magic of the volcano gave these heroes a remarkable new power – the ability to swap halves – turning them into a special team known as the SWAP Force. Meanwhile, Kaos is back with a new evil plan. And now, Portal Masters everywhere must reassemble the SWAP Force – in their original form or in new combinations – and send them back to Cloudbreak to save Skylands!

Skylanders SWAP Force features new abilities – such as flying, climbing, digging, bouncing, or teleporting – which can be used in previously unexplored areas of Skylands centered on these play mechanics.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to “Save” the game without losing progress?

When saving the game Skylanders Swap Force (on Wii and other systems), it should be the same as it was in Skylanders Giants. That means there are two things to keep an eye on if you want to continue playing the story all the way to the end…

Saving Tip #1: You have to finish the chapter you’re on, after the chapter is finished you have to press the + button on your Wii Remote or Wii U Controller (I call it the Wiimote) and then select Main Menu for the game to save your progress. Then you can safely turn off the game.
Additionally, if you’re playing on the Xbox 360 or PS3, you need to make sure you’re signed in with your username/avatar before you start playing the game, as well as picking the storage device and then the game will auto-save on at the end of each chapter. Same for the Wii and Wii U versions the game will auto-save.

Saving Tip #2: After turning the game off, when you turn the game on again the next time, most people try to continue by going to chapter select, but don’t do that! Instead you need to talk to (depending on the chapter you’re on) Captain Flynn or anyone who can be found in the Woodburrow hub, like the Chieftess or Tessa. This should continue the story where you left it last time.
