Ruins

This page can also be viewed at the Spyro Wiki.

The Ruins is the main hub world in the console versions of Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure. It is what remained of the Core of Light after it was destroyed by Kaos. You come here after each level to upgrade the skills of your Skylanders (when unlocked), and complete Heroic Challenges (also needs to be unlocked).

As each of the components of the Core of Light is restored, the Ruins will change in appearance, becoming more lush and vibrant.

Tips

• Easy money collecting tips: each time you come back to the ruins, towards the bottom of the area will be a bunch of brambles. Each time you attack a bramble, it gives you one coin. But be forewarned, this dosen't last forever. Hugo will eventually ask you to clear all the brambles, and after that, only a few will appear each time.
• Wii only: The Hidden Treasure item from the Pirate Seas expansion also works in the Ruins. After you've found the chest, talk to someone and the chest will reappear in the same spot.
• Ghost Roaster is the only Skylander that can die in the Ruins due to his health draining Ectoplasm Mode.
• Near the area where Arbo first appeare there is a tower built out of multiple layers. Each layer has an elemental symbol on it and attacking it with a Skylander of the same element will cause the layer to disapear. When all the layers are gone, the top piece will explode, releasing money.

Trivia

• Most of the characters who take the Skylanders to certain levels, represent one of the Elements: Flynn (Air) Gurglefin (Water), Diggs (Earth), Arbo (Life), General Robot (Tech), T-Bone (Undead), Weapon Master (Magic).
• When a Skylander walks up the stairs from the beach to the plateau, the torches light up in their corresponding element’s color. Magic Skylanders produce purple flames, Air Skylanders trigger light blue, Earth Skylanders make them burn green, and so on. Elemental torches also exist at the top of the bluff in the Ruins and react to each Skylander’s element.
• Each Winged Sapphire appears in a place next to an area that takes you to another part of Skylands. One sapphire next to the cage Gurglefin was trapped in, one sapphire in a hole you need to bust open next to the Hugo and the train etc.
