If you're having trouble finding a Villain, check out this article first.
In Skylanders Trap Team, the Villains obviously play a big role. In addition to all the regular collectibles you have to find, defeat and trap all the Villains that escaped from Cloudcracker Prison.
While captured Villains do not level up like Skylanders, they do have one single upgrade available. This upgrade is received upon completion of their Villain Quest.
When you complete a Villain Quest that Villain will evolve. An evolved Villain comes with a few perks. These perks include:
- “Evolved” will be attached to their name (i.e. Evolved Kaos, Evolved Hood Sickle)
- Their appearance will change (new color scheme)
- Their attacks will be strengthened
- Their timer will lengthen
Some Villain Quests are completed simply by talking to the right person while others will require you to play a mini-game or explore a new area.
The tricky part about the Villain Quests is that they are not always in the same level that you find the Villain. And since you can't change who is in your Traps during a level you have to plan ahead.
So to help you plan ahead, here is a list of all the Villain Quest Locations. Or if you prefer, here's a printable PDF version of the list.

This is very useful but a minor suggestion would be to add the trap type needed after the villain name. Some people don’t remember all the villains types and some are obvious but some aren’t. Something like:
* Hood Sickle (Undead)
I’ll make the change because it’s easy enough to add.
However, I didn’t add it in the first place, because when you go into the Villain Vault to change out which Villains are in your Traps, it will tell you which element you need.
Could You Make A Chart That Shows Where You Find The Villains?
Just like as in the fritolay hot dog fiasco you can take a picture of the code in the strategy guide book at any store go to the web site listed and join presto you have walk through guide. I do not know why they make it so easy now to get stuff some of us have paid for in the past. Strange but true.
Thank you for putting this all together in one place. Extremely helpful. I cannot find Pain-Yatta’s quest giver Bag O’ Bones. I’ve read he is in “Back Flow Alley” in chapter 10 Secret Sewers of Supreme Stink, but I cannot find it in any of the many walkthroughs or videos anyone else has put up. Hope you can help!
I don’t have access to the game at the moment, but I’ll try.
When you get to the rivers of goo, I think it’s the second river that has barges floating to the left. Hop on a barge and ride it into Back Flow Alley. At the top of the ramp you should find a skeleton with Pain-Yatta’s quest.
Hope this helps!
Yes! Thanks so much!
