Mining for Charms

“Some of the rarest, magical ore is located in this very mine. Collect all of it by breaking the rocks as quickly as you can. But watch it, the locals won't like this at all.”

– Cali

Mining for Charms is a Heroic Challenge in Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure and Skylanders: Giants that is unlocked by Bash. It uses the map of Molekin Mine and requires 5 magical ore to be collected in under three minutes and thirty seconds.

The Skylander spawns right next to a Mining Pick, which the player will need to pick up in order to collect the ore. Drill Sergeant and Earth Skylanders do not need to pick it up, as they can use their attacks to break down rocks instead. Each section of the map has many rocks that the Skylander can break down. The location of the ore in each section is completely random, and there is no way to tell where it is until the Skylander breaks open the correct rock. Once the ore in a certain section of the map is found, there is no need to break down any more rocks in that section (unless they are blocking the Skylander's way to another section).

While there are enemies in this Challenge, they are not at all a major threat and can easily be defeated with one or two attacks. The Undead Spell Punks are an exception, because they have more health.

Trivia

• In Giants, when an ore is found, the announcer proclaims that the player has "revealed a charm".
• This Challenge is unique in the fact that it is one of the only Challenges that forces enemies (the smaller ones in this case) to continually spawn by themselves when the player is not present in certain areas, and this spawning occurs throughout the Challenge.
