How to Reset Skylanders Creation Crystals and Traps (Guide)

[@nightsilent1318]

I just recently reset a couple crystals, using the Giants for the Wii method, and I am so glad it worked! I didn't want to be stuck with a Ninja, and a Sorcerer that someone else made.

[@SheriffCrazy]

Awesome!

[@Supergirl-jj8gt]

I agree I don't want Ninja classes because they are way too small

[@vi5692]

Obviously the DUI method is the most accessible out of all of these and I'm here to say it works perfectly! It wasn't working at first, but that was because I forgot to select "Write Figure" afterwards. After I did that, I put the crystal on the portal and created a brand new Imaginator! Thank you! That's very cool!

[@transyuri4534]

Oh wow. Thanks for posting this. I was kind of worried about the Imaginater thing sense I had some plans, but I was worried that it would be difficult to get the imaginite crystals with clean saves. (Wasn't worried about the traps sense you can just trap a new villain.) I'll probably use the computer program sense that won't cost me extra money.

[@michaelgates3999]

I can't say much for the other methods but the Skylanders Gui tool works ! I only had problems with one creation crystal out of my five but the rest have all been reset at last!!

[@chapintaylor9659]

Fun fact. You CAN reset traps using the 3DS. Take a non-Xbox trap team portal, and the swap force 3DS portal and put the 3DS portal inside the trap team portal. You need to make sure one of the bars/posts with the element symbol is touching the back of the villain vault. Then your 3DS can read traps and reset them for you just like with a CC!

[@SheriffCrazy]

I actually tried too reset traps using the regular 3ds portal and I could (kinda) get it to read but not reset them. Interesting you can put the portals together to make this work. Ill have to try this out sometime soon. Thanks for the tip.

[@chapintaylor9659]

@@SheriffCrazy you might not have been using a non-Xbox portal or Swap Force 3DS portal. It has to be those specific ones in order to work the same way. And then use Giants or SSA.

Yeah that myth is busted. I tried it out myself both the swap force and the trap team portal. It does not work.

[@chapintaylor9659]

@@superpaul583 It is exactly how I reset all of mine. I did not make this up lmao. Maybe check batteries, and adjust the positions of the portal on itself until it reads. It WILL work. P.S. Do not reset variant villain traps, like Riot Shield Shredder or Outlaw Brawl and Chain. It will wipe the variant tag.

You don’t want to reset variant traps or it will remove the variant completely. What you wanna do is move brawl and chain back into the trap int the game and he will be the variant version.

On the gui can you recode a trap? For example having a water tiki and recoding it to be an undead trap

[@skylandercreations3282]

The Skylanders gui wants a key but i Cant find it!

[@superpaul583]

That's because you did not read the golden rule about 3rd party tools. There's ALWAYS a catch to them. EVERY tool they claim it's "free" to _download._ They said nothing about USING the tool for free. So in other words the key that it needs is the one in your wallet.

[@gabagool482]

Thank you so much. I just have one question, I want to replay trap team, basically wipe all the data and such because I know even with reset game and skylanders if I replay it and trap villains I had before they already look like their second quest forms and such. However I only ever used one trap for each elemental (light and dark included) so I only have one of each that I went through on my playthrough. My question is, if I reset all these traps does that mean every villain gets reset as well? or do I have to put each villain in the trap and reset them one by one?

[@undeadskeley1890]

For anyone that is having an issue with their wii or Playstation portals not connecting with the skylanders GUI, try and set up the portal the same way you would for the Cemu emulator. This is how i got it to work P.S. (I used a ps4 trap team portal to do this)

Could you potentially make a tutorial for how to set up the portal for the gui tool? I cant find information anywhere and none of my portals (all non xbox) are able to connect to the software.

[@SheriffCrazy]

That’s really strange. When you have the GUI open it typically auto detects the portal but if not you can go to the tabs and choose connect portal. There isn’t anything else to it. The guide here explains exactly how to make it work. Edit: So your computer should automatically detect the portal and install the correct drivers. I’m wondering if maybe your computer hasn’t done so. PC or Mac?

You can make “new” Skylanders with fresh nfc cards/chips but you can’t rewrite the chips in Skylander figures. I’m not sure exactly how this all works but this is my understanding.

They do not make Skylanders anymore. I guess you can buy new ones still but it’s not from stores because they no longer manufacture them. The large majority of Skylanders you find for sale are going to be used figures.
