“Oh boy, those Trolls just don't know when to quit. Now they've taken to forging imitations of some very expensive works of art. What's worse is that they are selling them off as originals to unsuspecting patrons. Let's break up this ring by breaking of these imitations as you can. And the more each one is worth, the better!”

– Cali

Break The Fakes! is a Heroic Challenge in Skylanders: Giants, unlocked by Eye-Brawl. The challenge takes place on a map similar in design to the Cadaverous Crypt. The objective is to destroy forged artwork scattered across the map and collect a total value of 999 coins' worth of imitations within a time limit of three minutes and thirty seconds.

Each fake is worth a different amount, with values ranging from +2, +5, +8, +15, +20, to +25 coins. The forgeries include pots, paintings, and other valuable items commonly found throughout the world of Skylands, all replicated and sold by Trolls posing as art dealers. Players are encouraged to prioritize high-value targets to meet the goal more efficiently.

The challenge features narrow corridors, branching paths, and hidden sections. Several walls throughout the area require either a Giant Skylander or a bomb to destroy in order to access valuable sections. Two hidden teleporters can be found beneath specific fake artworks. These teleporters lead to bombs that are necessary for regular Skylanders to destroy the walls. Behind one of these sections, a key can be found, which is used to unlock a gate that guards a secluded area containing several of the most valuable fakes in the challenge.

Efficient navigation, quick destruction of high-value forgeries, and clever use of teleporters, bombs, and keys are key to completing the objective within the time limit.
