Troll Home Security is the eighth Chapter in Skylanders: Giants. The Skylanders go to the Troll Home Security Castle to destroy the Shield Gun (also called the Generator) which is generating a shield around Kaos' Kastle.
Description
Troll Home Security is a black-and-white-checkered Troll castle, featuring several tall towers, red flags, and rows of defensive cannons. Grassy islands surround the base of the castle in a battlefield area littered with explosive shells. This level has a complex sky which is pale purple on the bottom; shades of pink, lavender, and blue take over higher up. Gray clouds cluster at the base of the castle, as well as in the sky above it.

Trivia
- Troll Home Security is meant to be kept secret, so the Generator emits an invisible, silent beam that can't be touched, or tasted.[1]
- In The Battlements, Flynn and Cali will not follow the Skylander until the first two big cannons are destroyed. If the player attempts to advance without them, they will remind the player that they must destroy the cannons first.
- In earlier builds of the game, the Water Elemental Gate in this level used to have a short pillar that Skylanders could stand on. This can be seen in footage from Soul Gem cutscenes such as Trigger Happy's and Bash's. However, in the final game, this pillar is too tall for Skylanders to access.
- Similarly, Soul Gem footage reveals that the tower at the end of the level used to have much larger red flags, which were likely shrunk for the final game in order to obscure less of the final battle.
- If, during the final battle, the player runs all the way across the bridge to the rightmost tower, the battle music will end as if they had defeated all of the enemies.
- Troll Home Security used to have a longer main theme, which is audible here. This extended theme includes a much more dramatic climax and was probably cut for being too intense for regular battle music.
- During the Tilting Tower and The Battlements segments, remixes of Arkeyan Armory's theme replace Troll Home Security's normal music. The cannon run sections and later stages of The Battlements remix Kaos's theme, combined with some portions of Troll Factory's music.
- Early versions of Troll Home Security borrowed Sky Schooner Docks's theme for The Battlements. [2]
- Additionally, the level included a remix of Crystal Eye Castle's theme during one of its block puzzles. [3]
- The majority of The Battlements can be skipped by using Bouncer's guided missiles. By aiming missiles at the final breakable wall and destroying it, a cutscene is triggered that places the player there as if they had destroyed it with a Bomb as usual. Flynn and Cali also appear as usual.[4]
- If the player performs this trick while leaving Flynn and Cali behind as stated above, the player can backtrack and destroy the cannons to let Flynn and Cali through. This results in a strange case where two instances of Flynn can be seen at once: Flynn from before the cannons, and Flynn after destroying the final wall.
- According to one of the Wilikin at the end of Wilikin Village, Troll Home Security has been operating for 35 years.
