- “Acquire the Crystal Eye from the Cyclopes' castle.”
- —Chapter Subtitle
Crystal Eye Castle is the eighth chapter in Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure. It is a stronghold where the Cyclopses contained the Crystal Eye, after which they named their castle.
Description
Crystal Eye Castle is a sprawling Cyclops fortress built atop a sandy, hilly landscape containing a few waterfalls. The castle appears to be partly broken down, but still contains decorative features such as vines, stained-glass windows, and blinking eyeball sentries. Winged Cyclops monsters fly through the background of the level's dusty sky.
Story
As they arrive at the entrance of the fortress, Diggs the Molekin explains to the Skylander that he saw the Crystal Eye at the very top of the castle before he escaped. In order to get up to the top, the Skylander must destroy the two Seeing Towers to open the big gate protecting the castle. Diggs starts to explain what happens after opening the gate, but he is sent flying by a rolling barrel from a Timidclops. The Skylander battles through the fortress, taking on multiple kinds of Cyclopses along the way.
Eventually, the Skylander destroys both Seeing Towers, which lowers the gate blocking the top of the castle. The Skylander enters the Tower of Eyes, where the Crystal Eye remains guarded by several Cyclopses and Crunchers. Defeating all of the enemies, the Skylander claims the Crystal Eye and meets up with Diggs to return to the Ruins and add the Eye to the Core of Light.

Trivia
- This is the first chapter in the series to feature the Cyclopses and Molekin.
- Crystal Eye Castle is the only chapter of Spyro's Adventure to have a Soul Gem next to an Elemental Gate.
- In the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions, the Chompy Pods behind the Undead Elemental Gate spawn regular Chompies instead of Crunchers.
- In said console ports, there is an additional Cyclops Mammoth that appears in the Inner Courtyard. Strangely, this Cyclops Mammoth will act like it is attached to a post, and will fail to attack the Skylander even if they are standing right in front of it.
