- “Rescue the Molekin miners trapped by the cave-in.”
- —Chapter Subtitle
Molekin Mine is the eighteenth chapter in the console version of Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure. Here, the Skylanders must save the Molekin that are trapped in a cave-in, and recover the Crucible of the Ages, a component of the Core of Light.
Description
Molekin Mine is a fully subterranean mine supported by wooden beams, lit with lamps, and equipped with train tracks. Rocks and purple Tzo Crystals fill the level, and the mine shakes periodically, creating an unstable atmosphere as dust rains from the ceiling.
Story
Arriving to the mines via train, the Skylanders encounter Blobbers, another Mabu villager rescued from Shattered Island, who was supervising a Molekin digging operation. The Molekin discovered the Crucible of the Ages, an ancient relic needed to complete the Core of Light. However, a cave-in suddenly occurred, trapping the miners. The Skylanders travel through the mines, battling the native monsters and breaking through cracked stone with a pickaxe. After rescuing all seven Molekin miners, the Skylanders find Diggs, who managed to find and grab the Crucible, but had supposedly injured his leg in the process. The Skylanders push Diggs in a minecart to the exit while Diggs holds the Crucible. Reaching the end, Blobbers thanks the Skylanders for rescuing the miners, and reports that the recent seismic activity has opened up a new tunnel with train tracks that go deeper into the mine.

Trivia
- By dashing into it with his Force Field Ball ability, Wrecking Ball can derail the minecart that appears in this level. If all 7 Molekin miners are collected while the cart is off-track, Diggs and the Crucible of the Ages will be placed in the minecart wherever Wrecking Ball pushed it. Nudging the minecart with any movement other than Force Field Ball will push it back toward its track.
