    XvalgurXI had to reset Stump Smash back to none, then fill him up with $ using Skylanders Giants Money Glitch, then do first 3 chapters (collecting Stump Smash Soul Gem in Chapter 2) until I can upgrade him. Then buy Soul Gem upgrade BEFORE buying any other upgrades, then buy rest of them, to pop the achievement. Worked for me!

    After completing the level Sky Skooner Docks you will be able to begin upgrading your Skylander with Persephone the fairy who is to the left of the hot air balloon.
    To get this a single Skylander requires to have every skill purchased for them. Most have 8 skills that need to be purchased and will set you back a bit of money but even if you switch a lot you should have this prior to completing the game.
    The trickiest part of this achievement is that every Skylander requires a soul gem to be found in levels that unlocks a final skill for them. To see if you have the soul gem for a character go to 'Collections' in the pause menu and then 'Skylanders' if the circle around your character is decorated with a 10 point star it means you have found it.
    As a bonus you can find Winged Sapphires (Blue Butterflies) around the island and each gives you a 2% discount on upgrades. There are 10 in total and you can only get a new one every major chapter break or so.

    Winged Sapphire Locations:
    1. Next to Persephone after Stormy Stronghold
    2. At the gate that opens on the beach after getting the Eternal Water Source
    3. Inside the cave opened by oiling a robot on the beach
    4. Up a series of bouncy pads in the water to the east of the bridge
    5. Under rock where Arbo came from
    6. Inside fence next to the Train opens after getting the Eternal Undead Source
    7. Inside a cave near the Train, blow it up with a bomb
    8. Inside a hole near the Train, blow it up with a bomb and then jump in
    9. Oil the Train
    10. Inside the prison by the docks after getting the Eternal Magic Source

    Backstory:
    This is a guide to all those getting the glitch where this achievement won't pop. After reading all kinds of complaints about it I can say with 99.9% certainty that the glitch is caused from using the skylander on multiple systems. Most of the people complaining say they use the skylander on the 3ds version or the web version. I personally used mine on my 3ds and xbox, not the web. I registered all my characters on the xbox360 first and the 3ds second. I completely bought all the skills on one route for 3 characters. The achievement wouldn't pop. There are some people saying you have to completely delete your entire save files. My first thought was like hell (already put 20hrs into it).

    Solution(I used and it worked):
    Start a brand new save file. Load a chop chop and completely erase it. Register it to this profile. Load a spyro and completely erase it too. Register it to the profile too. Then quit the new game. At the main menu start another new game. Load the chop chop and spyro to this brand new game. Register both of them to this profile. Now your ready to start. In the first level play with chop chop and get as much money and xp as possible. At the turtle section near the bridge you can continue to push the turtle to the left. This is where you need the spyro to open the magic gate. Go in and get chop chop's medal thing. This is where it gets crappy. You need to play with chop chop until you can buy all his skills. From this point on I only used chop chop. ------No other skylanders to open there respective element gates.----- It took me roughly 3 hours to completely level chop chop and buy all his skills. Make sure to get all treasure chests and legendary items to get as much money as quickly as possible. I decided to go the sword route with his skills. The only hard part I ran into was the water element level where you have to beat the three evil skylanders and sharks at once. Had to play that level through at least six times for money. Wasn't able to win until i had the strongest sword and my guy was level 8 at that point(didn't do any skill challenges). After that its easy as pie to get the last of the money needed. I waited and bought the medal skill until the end. Then the achievement activated.

    Notes:
    -All the file character eraseing stuff was to make sure the xbox didn't see any 3ds info on the skylander. If your gonna take the time to do this might as well be thorough.
    -I don't know if you'll be able to win that water boss battle if you go the shield route.
    -If you don't get this achievement you won't get the everything achievement. This is better than having to completely start over.
    -It worked for me so it should work for you. Good Luck!

    Mrs DutRankI guess I'm that .1%.
    Only used my Legendary Trigger Happy on the Xbox 360 version on the same save.

    RoRoRacingSame here, I bought the xbox 360 pack and have only used my Spyro on this system. I have bought all of his upgrades including soul gem and no achievement. I chose to go the flame route, so I think i'll try to reset his stats and buy all of the upgrades for the other route and see if that gets it to pop.
