– Chapter Subtitle

Cadaverous Crypt is the sixteenth chapter in Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure. Here, the Skylanders visit to retrieve the Skeleton Key, which is needed to enter the Creepy Citadel to find the Eternal Undead Source.

Description

Cadaverous Crypt is, as its name would suggest, a musty stone crypt. Spiked coffins, movable candlesticks, ram-skull gates, and bone decorations line its gloomy hallways. Much like Crawling Catacombs, Cadaverous Crypt is positioned above a subterranean lake and takes place entirely underground.

Trivia

• 

  The dragon skeleton resembling Spyro

  A skeleton resembling Spyro can be seen in the floor of the Story Scroll's room.
• In the PlayStation 3 / Xbox 360 version, when collecting Trigger Happy's Soul Gem, the upgrade is called "Infinite Hellfire".
  • Additionally, when completing the challenge behind the Tech Elemental Gate in the PlayStation 3 / Xbox 360 version, the announcer voiceline for completing a Heroic Challenge plays.
  • T-Bone's character portrait doesn't change after he puts his head on the Skeleton Key in the PlayStation 3 / Xbox 360 version.
• A golden Skeleton Key appears in the 3DS version of Skylanders: Swap Force. It resides in the Samurai Islands, and can open every door in Skylands.
• When this level appears outside of the games, in Return of the Dragon King and the TV show, its name is incorrectly pluralized to "Cadaverous Crypts." Both spinoffs also greatly change its appearance, portraying the crypt as either a dark labyrinthine cave or a wasteland.
