Day after day, Sora, Riku and Kairi talk and dream of new places, new worlds beyond their islands. They ponder the usual questions that adolecents do-about the world outside, about their own existence. Little do they know a great destiny awaits them. One stormy night, a terrible darkness invades the Destiny Islands. Thus, does their journey begin... Sora awakens in another world, in a place called Traverse Town. his hopes of seeing new worlds are realized, but his friends Riku and Kairi are nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, Donald and Goofy have also arrived in Traverse Town. They have come from Disney Castle in search of a "key" and it's owner. Their king, who has mysteriously disappeared, has left them a cryptic message: "Now, there's somebody with a 'key'-the key to our survival... We need that key." What is happening to this world? The "somebody" mentioned by the missing king turns out to be Sora. To find Kairi and Riku, Sora joins Donald and Goofy and embarks on an epic journey.

Some of the things aren't there yet, but they will be soon. 1.10 Tuesday, December 03, 2002 9:39:35 PM Version 0.09 Went to the movies today and saw 8 Crazy Nights. But, still had time to add some new stuff. I started working on Hollow Bastion Part 2 and completed the new Table of Contents. 1.11 Wednesday, December 04, 2002 12:40:21 PM Version 0.10 Stayed home sick because of the movies today, too much popcorn. Anyways, I finished up Hollow Bastion Part 2. 1.12 Thursday, December 05, 2002 6:33:21 PM Version 0.11 Today I did the End of the World section of the game and yes, that means that the story portion of this FAQ/Walkthrough is done with! 1.13 Saturday, December 14, 2002 Version 1.0 My first submission to GameFAQ/Walkthroughs. The story portion of the game is done and so are a couple of the extra things. I'm just working on finishing the extra stuff now. 1.14 Tuesday, December 17, 2002 Version 1.1 I updated the FAQ/Walkthrough today by putting in the Song Lyrics, the Sephiroth and Ice Titan fights, and the credits. 1.15 Friday, December 20, 2002 Version 1.20 Ergh! My file for this guide got messed up! It looked like it's format was converted, so now I'm messed up. I had updated it yesterday, but I forgot what I updated, so I can't redo it! So, I'm stuck redoing things I've already done. 1.16 Wednesday, December 25, 2002 Version 1.40 Merry Christmas! I got Socom, so I'll be playing that alot from now on. Today I did the 100 Acre Woods portion of the FAQ/Walkthrough. I also added in some Quest Items. 1.17 Thursday, December 26, 2002 Version 1.45 I've added a Corrections section in until I get around to putting the corrections in the FAQ/Walkthrough itself. Another update to GameFAQ/Walkthroughs! 1.18 Friday, December 27, 2002 Version 1.50 With the help of JillV, I have created a Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix FAQ/Walkthrough section. Check it out. It's not that easy to navigate right now, it's mostly a cut and paste job for now till I have completed all of it. 1.19 Monday, December 30, 2002 Version 1.55 Today, I finally finished all of the Items! Thank God that's all done. I answered some FAQ/Walkthroughs and put them in. Due to a couple of peoples' wild imaginations and their intent to see that this FAQ/Walkthrough is NEVER, EVER completed, they suggested that I put in the Ansem's reports. Instead of posting each report like they are presented in the game, I've just posted all of them together, when a new report begins, the first word is CAPPED. I also added a CHALLENGES!!! section. If you choose to take place in a challenge and you want to let me know you completed it, please submit a gamesave so I can see it. I am about to start my own challenge of going through the game on EXPERT taking less than my old score of 2709 hits. Ouch...that's a lot of hits! 1.20 Tuesday, December 31, 2002 Version 1.60 Today I did the Magic Spells and Summons list and I did the Dalmation list. I'm getting closer and closer to completing this! Yay! 1.21 Thursday, January 02, 2003 Version 1.70 Happy New Year! Today I did the Kurt Zisa and Phantom battles. Then, I did the Olympus Cups, except for the Pegasus Cup and Hades Cup. I also put in the Solo and Timed Cups help. Then, finished up the day with some Challenges, the Postcard Locations in the Tips section and an update to the Final Mix FAQ. 1.22 Friday, January 03, 2003 Version 1.75 Finally, a friend of mine spent the time getting the Rare Truffle items. I updated those and when I did the Synthesis Items, I noticed my Item List was wrong. I incorrectly posted that there are Frost, Thunder, Blaze, Power and Spirit Crystals. There is no such items. I'm sorry for posting that. The thing is, no body noticed it but me! 1.23 Monday, February 24, 2003 2:16:50 AM Version 1.80 Sorry everyone, but my computer is completely broken, meaning that I cannot type up a new version unless I come to my friend's house, and I am not going to spend hours doing that at a friend's house. As soon as my PC is fixed, the updates will start again, other than that, sorry. Someone was kind enough to volunteer to make a Hades Cup FAQ, and I'll post that in here next time I'm over at a friends, so until we meet again, take care and I hope you enjoy the FAQ. I also posted all the websites that can use my FAQ. Voila! 1.24 Sunday, March 23, 2003 3:32:15 AM Version 1.81 A new website added in and deleted my Yahoo email. I will only reply to Hotmail email, that's all. More bad news folks, my PS2 busted too. So, I have to get my PC and PS2 repaired before I can do anything here. Sorry. If any of you feel sorry enough for me, please, any donations towards PC or PS2 would be greatly appreciated. One dollar, 5 dollars, I don't care. I also don't want anyone to feel that they HAVE to donate. I just have no way of paying for repairs/replacements because I am unemployed right now (and will be for the foreseeable future). So, if any of you can find it in your hearts to donate, please email me at cody_rs_2004@hotmail.com and I will give you my PO Box. Sorry for sounding like a leech, but all my stuff is dying! 1.25 Monday, March 31, 2003 3:49:47 PM Version 1.85 Finally, after what seems to be the longest time, will be an actual update! Yay! Here we go folks, I put in the levels you learn abilities today with the help of ROMANS1017@aol.com aka Ashley, thanks Ash! I might update some other stuff this week too, because I'm staying at a friends and can update, so live on, Kingdom Hearts FAQ! 1.26 Monday, May 26, 2003 12:42 AM Ver. 1.9 There are many ways to contact me, so if you need additional help, or you have some corrections, or if ya just wanna say "hello" you can...just to warn you though, I never will check my Yahoo! email now, so if you email me, try to email me at my Hotmail account.

WALKTHROUGH Just a quick little note here, I'm playing this on the NORMAL game setting. The strategy guide will work for the EXPERT setting, except for that enemies are alot stronger, dealing around twice as much damage as their NORMAL setting counterparts do. One more note, if I use caps for something (Example: TAKE, PICK, ARCANUM, STRIKE.) This means it is a command you use in the command menu, it will appear as the bottom option. 3.1 AWAKENING My Level: 1 CUTSCENE After a slightly confusing opening cinema and my favorite song, you take control of Sora who is standing on a green platform with a picture of Snow White and other characters from that movie. This a just a tutorial for now, so follow the commands as they are presented. Walk into the center of the platform. Three pedistals are presented to you. The one on the left has a shield, the center has a sword, and the one on the right has a magic rod. Each one represents a stat aspect. You are supposed to choose 2 objects. But, depending on whether it's your first choice or second will affect the stat positively or negatively, respectively. The object that you didn't choose isn't affected at all, you will continue to gain more of it's attributes in a normal manner. It is recommended that if this is your first time playing, you choose the power of the guardian and discard the power of the mystic, although I didn't and made it through just fine. Here's the laydown on what each object does. The Dream Shield- The power of the guadian. Kindness to aid friends. A shield to repel all. If you choose the Dream Shield for your first choice, your defense and HP will level up more frequently than other stats throughout the game. You also start the game with higher defense. If it's your second choice, your defense and HP will level up less frequently than your other stats throughout the game. The Dream Sword- The power of the warrior. Invincible courage. A sword of terrible destruction. If you choose the Dream Sword first, your offense will level up more frequently than your other stats, if you choose it second, your strength will level up less frequently than your other stats. The Dream Rod- The power of the mystic. Inner strength. A staff of wonder and ruin. If you choose the Dream Rod first, your MP and AP will level up more frequently than other stats throughout the game.You also start the game with higher MP and AP. If you choose it second, your MP and AP will level up less frequently than your other stats. I usually choose Sword first, Rod second. But, there are other good choices. First time players should choose the Shield and discard the sword. The other choice gives you the best stats overall, supposedly. For this one, choose the Staff and discard the shield. Whatever your choices, after you make them, the platform falls away and you fall onto a second platform that has Cinderella on it. This is your first encounter with a SHADOW. Ooh, scary. Just do what the tutorial tells you and swing at the Shadows for all it's worth. (1 Exp, each to be exact.) After you've defeated them all, you fall down to a third platform that has a transparent door on it. EXAMINE the door and follow the tutorial once again. After this part of the tutorial, go through the door and now it's time for a little Q&A and revisiting old friends. This part of the tutorial affects how quickly you level up during the game, and this is how. To level up... Fast: Choose the top 3 answers each time. The downside is, when you get around levels 60-100, it takes alot of EXP to gain a level. It also takes about 960,000 EXP total to reach level 100. Normal: Choose the middle 3 answers each time. This will give you a normal level up pace, with no major downside. You need about 900,000 EXP total to reach level 100. Slow: Choose the bottom 3 answers each time. The downside is, it takes alot more EXP than usual to reach level 70. The upside is, it takes 120,000 EXP less total to each level 100 and when you get to level 70, you start to level up quicker. Meaning, you only have to gain about 840,000 EXP total to reach level 100. Selphie- "What's most important to you?" Being number one. Friendship. My prize possesions. Tidus- "What are you so afraid of?" Getting old. Being different. Being indecisive. Wakka- "What do you want outta life?" To see rare sights. To broaden my horizons. To be strong. After you've made your choices, you fade away to a fourth platform with Aurora on it. You now must fight 8 Shadows at once, piece of the proverbial cake everyone. Waste 'em. You should level up right here, depending on how you answered the questions. (Congrats!) After the fight, you can make your first game save. Run up the ramp to the 5th and final platform (It has Belle on it) and get ready for your first BOSS fight. BOSS FIGHT: Darkside HP: 240 HP EXP GAINED: 18 XP ITEMS DROPPED: None He looks big, but, he isn't even close to being strong. Darkside has 2 moves he does in turn. First, he clenches dark power in his right first and then punches the ground, spawning 4 Shadows. Watch out for the punch though, it takes out 1/5 of your life bar. This is a good chance to level up a second, and if you have the patience, a third time. Just destroy the Shadows, don't do any severe damage to Darkside, and he'll keep spawning them! His second move is kneeling, drawing dark power to his heartshape on his stomach and then shooting out homing lasers. When he does this, go behind him and hide between his legs, the lasers can't hit you then. Or, instead of hiding between his legs, stand in front of him and when the lasers come near you, hit them back at Darkside for some Tech Points. Strike at his hands or at his head when he kneels and you'll put him out fast. If you get low on health, don't use your potion, just wait for him to spawn Shadows, kill them and then collect the green health orbs. CUTSCENE 3.2 Destiny Islands My Level: 3 After the cutscene ends, talk to Kairi (the girl in front of you). She'll give you a search 'n' find quest for... 2 Logs: One is under the bridge and the other one is on the island with Riku on it. (You can get to the island by swimming out to the water, or going up the stairs inside the Seaside Shack and crossing the bridge. 1 Cloth: Starting from the Seaside Shack, go up the ramp by the shack and head up the second ramp, take a left. When you get to the fork in the path, go up the stairs (they're on the right) and go around that path. Head up the ladder and follow this path. Head into the alcove and on the wall there is a cloth. 1 Rope: Starting from the Seaside Shack, go up the ramp by the shack and head up the second ramp, take a left. When you get to the fork in the path, go up the ladder. You should see Tidus practicing with a sword, behind him is the rope. Don't ask for any help from Kairi and you'll be rewarded with a Hi-Potion after you complete the search and find. Now, before you head back to Kairi, this is a good chance to gain a level or two. Note: I call the following fights boss fights because they are stronger than regular enemies. Save your game in the seaside shack before you do any of the following. BOSS FIGHT: Wakka (Optional) HP: Unknown. EXP GAINED: 1 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: None. Here's the first thing you do. Jump up to the platform to your right, and LIFT the barrel. Lock onto Wakka and THROW the barrel at him. He should be stunned right now. While he's stunned, run up and get a quick 1-2-3 combo on him. Now, keep a close eye on him and strike right after he throws his blitzball. That's it. Save and then go challenge Selphie. BOSS FIGHT: Selphie (Optional) HP: Unknown. EXP GAINED: 1 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: None. Here's the first thing you do. Jump up to the platform to your right, and LIFT the barrel. Lock onto Selphie and THROW the barrel at her. She should be stunned right now. While she's stunned, run up and get a quick 1-2-3 combo on her. Selphie is mostly vunerable from the air, so jump up towards her and swipe, most likely, you'll hit her swing and get a Tech point (which is just an XP) and knock her back a little. Save and go fight Tidus. BOSS FIGHT: Tidus (Optional) HP: Unknown EXP GAINED: 2 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: None. Here's the first thing you do. Jump up to the platform to your right, and LIFT the barrel. Lock onto Tidus and THROW the barrel at him. He should be stunned right now. While he's stunned, run up and get a quick 1-2-3 combo on him. Now, Tidus is a little tricker than Selphie and Wakka. Tidus is a close range fighter, so when he runs in at you, jump behind him and swipe at him with your 1-2-3 combo. If you need to heal, remember, you have your potion (if you didn't use it already) left over from the AWAKENING. BOSS FIGHT: Wakka, Selphie, and Tidus. (Optional) HP: Unknown EXP GAINED: 4 XP (1 for Wakka, 1 for Selphie, and 2 for Tidus.) ITEMS DROPPED/WON: Potion Here's the first thing you do. Jump up to the platform to your right, and LIFT the barrel. Lock onto whoever's closest and THROW the barrel at them. They should be stunned right now. While they're stunned, run up and get a quick 1-2-3 combo on them. After that, focus mainly on Tidus and Selphie first. Those two tend to stay right by each other so you'll most likely be hitting them both at the same time. After those two are done, finish off Wakka. (He's probably taken a hit or two by now anyways.) Individual strategies for these 3 are the same as above. BOSS FIGHT: Riku (Optional) HP: Unknown EXP GAINED: 5 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: Potion Quick note: This fight factors into your foot-race score, so if you lose, your score drops and will probably end up making Riku get the raft (and your Gummi-Ship) be named what Riku wants. This is probably the harder than the 3 on 1 fight with Tidus & company. The trees get in the way, and if Riku falls on down, he gets up by kicking forward, so don't stand in front of him after he falls down. Also, don't fall off the island, or you'll lose. Without the benefit of stunning him with a barrel, you're on your own. Riku likes to jump around alot, so, you should stay on the ground whenever possible. Riku falls down after every 3 or 4 hits, so get ready to run to the side or jump behind him. The best thing to do is hit him twice, run away, hit him twice and run away. When you're ready, save and bring the stuff to Kairi. When asked to rest, say yes. CUTSCENE CUTSCENE During the second day, you have to explore the "Secret Place" (a cave by the waterfall that's by the shack.) have a race with Riku, and do a second search and find quest. Let's get started. You start the second day on the docks. Head back to where you gave Kairi the stuff and go through the door she was blocking before. (Now, if you want to level up a few more times, you can fight the 3 on 1 fight again, or the single fights. Wakka has moved to the waterfall and Tidus is now where you fought Riku.) Riku is right by the door you just came through. When you talk to him, he asks you for a name for your raft (and ultimately, it turns out to be the name of your Gummi-Ship). He thinks it should be called Highwind. You think it should be called Excalibur (or whatever you personally want.) Anyways, instead of solving it normally, Sora and Riku decide to race. Here's what you have to do. Race through an obstacle course and touch a Paopu fruit on the otherside, then, race back. Instead of taking the bridge like Riku, just jump off the ledge, and race down through the water towards the stairs. Go up the stairs and go straight off that ledge. Run around the RIGHT side of the (your) raft and up the slope that curves left. Next, jump from each platform towards the paopu tree. Tag the tree and jump right off that platform back down to the beach. WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T GO THROUGH THE CAVE ENTRANCE BY THE PAOPU TREE, IT'LL MAKE YOU LOSE THE RACE. Go back the way you came, around the right side of the raft, jump up the ledge, race down the stairs, through the water, jump up the next ledge and you're done. What do you get? The raft is named whatever you wanted and you get a Pretty Stone. (The only use I've found for the Pretty Stone is selling it for 30 Munnies once you get to Traverse Town.) Wanna get your first Accessory? Go back to the stairs you raced on against the wall directly behind the box there is a cave, LIFT the box and carry it towards the wall. THROW the box and climb on top of it. Jump into the cave. Inside the cave, there is a Protect Chain, which will raise your Def. stat by 1 point. Kairi is down by the raft now, go talk to her for your next search and find quest. Looks like you're collecting provisions for your upcoming trip! Here's what to find and where to find it. 1 Seagull Egg- Head back to the Seaside Shack (chance to save) and go up the stairs inside. Climb up the thin tree and jump over to the tree that has the egg on it. 3 Mushrooms- A. Secret Place by the doorway. CUTSCENE B. By the raft, there is a rock blocking a cave. Push the rock out of the way and inside is the second mushroom. C. To the left of the tower on the obstacle course in some grass. 2 Coconuts- Just strike at all the palm trees and eventually, a yellow coconut should fall down. Do this twice, but not on the same tree. 3 Fish- Go to the boat dock and walk/swim around in the water. You should see fish swimming around, just walk through them and you should collect them. 1 Bottle of Drinking Water (But, not ocean water!)- Go to the waterfall by the Secret Place and just go under the waterfall to collect it. You're done! Last chance to save for a little bit. Last chance to get some XP from Tidus and everyone. Once you're done, head back and talk to Kairi. If your do the quest without asking for her help, you get another Hi-Potion. CUTSCENE CUTSCENE When you get back to the main island, you find Riku and Kairi's boats already landed on the island, and your old friends--Shadows. Your wooden sword does nothing right now, just run to the little island where you fought Riku. (If you did.) If you want to, you can save. CUTSCENE Now, that you have the Keyblade, you can destroy the Shadows. I recommend being at least level 5 before you face the boss, although I usually train up to level 6 or 7. It'll also help alot when you get to Traverse Town if you're level 7. After the cutscene with Riku, go to the Secret Place. CUTSCENE CUTSCENE BOSS FIGHT: Darkside HP: 300 HP EXP GAINED: 60 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: None. He looks big, but, he isn't even close to being strong. Darkside has 4 moves now, and he does each in turn. First, he kneels, drawing dark power to his heartshape on his stomach and then shooting out homing lasers. When he does this, go behind him and hide between his legs, the lasers can't hit you then. Second, he clenches dark power in his right first and then punches the ground, spawning 4 Shadows. Watch out for the punch though, it takes out 1/5 of your life bar. His third is striking with his left hand straight into the ground causing a mini-earthquake that will slightly damage you no matter where you are, but, if you jump,you can evade the hit. His final move is when he pulls his arm out of the ground. He pulls an energy orb with his arm. He raises the orb above his head and it starts raining small energy orbs and they hurt a little. To finish him off strike at his hands or at his head when he kneels and you'll put him out fast. If you get low on health, use your potions or just wait for him to spawn Shadows, kill them and then collect the green health orbs. CUTSCENE 3.3 TRAVERSE TOWN Part 1 My Level: 7 After waking up, you find Pluto staring right into your face. Welcome to Traverse Town, boys and girls, get ready for a ride. Head out of the alleyway and head into the Accessory Shop. Be ready to see a familar face. It's Cid from FF7! Talk to him and then save. There is an treasure chest on a shelf. Jump onto the counter then onto the shelf and get the Mythril Shard. Head back out to the streets and go around back from the shop you were just in. Go through the big doors and go to the 2nd District. CUTSCENE Time to fight again, but this time it's just Shadows again, but now they drop munnie, along with health orbs. Destroy them and then head back to the Accessory Shop. But wait! The 1st District is overrun by Shadows! Finish them quickly. You shouldn't have the slightest problem with Shadows by now. Now, go into the shop and save, then leave. Get ready to meet an old friend. CUTSCENE BOSS FIGHT: Leon (Squall) HP: 120 HP EXP GAINED: 30 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: None. First of all, Leon is extremely agile, and it doesn't matter if you win or lose this fight, either way, the story continues. But, if you win, you get some XP which you need desperately this early in the game. (Well, it's considered alot this early in the game.) Leon likes to shoot fireballs and then come in and strike at you. But, the gunblade attacks are slow, so you can avoid them easily. If you jump at him, chances are he'll jump back to evade and then swipe at you. A good idea here: get outta that small area you start in and head out into the open, you have more room to move and dodge this way. He is most vunerable right after he shoots fireballs or right before he shoots fireballs. When he is charging the fireball, swing just as soon as the fire is launched. This will stun him. Run over and hit him till he revives. Right after he's swung do a 3 hit combo, and then run away. Repeat as much as it takes. CUTSCENE CUTSCENE After the cutscene, walk over to the table and open the chest. Then, save. Talk to both Yuffie and Leon and get ready for some more action. CUTSCENE You now have a second enemy Heartless, the Soldier. They take twice as many hits than the Shadows do before they are destroyed. For a little XP, go the way Leon didn't go, defeat the Heartless, and then go the way Leon went. If you jump up to the balcony that is reachable and then head over to the other balcony, you can get a potion. Head around the other corner of the hotel, past the double doors you're supposed to go through to pick up another potion, then head through the double doors. You should yourself at a fountain, if not, you went through the wrong door. Defeat all the Heartless and then take the first alleyway on the right from the fountain. Once in the alley, turn the next corner and keep fighting and then go through the door straight ahead that leads to the 3rd District. Head to the stairs to your right. CUTSCENE Donald and Goofy are in your party now and with them, this fight is over pretty fast, but now, you've angered someone and you have to deal with... CUTSCENE BOSS FIGHT: Guard Armor HP: 700 HP EXP GAINED: Unknown ITEMS DROPPED/WON: Brave Warrior, 100 munny, Elixir, Magic Spell Fire, Ability Dodge Roll. Just strike at all the body parts, starting with the arms and then legs. After you deal a certain amount of damage, the body breaks up and the pieces do individual attacks, but they reform after awhile. When you destroy a part, health orbs appear, but if you need health, you should have a potion or two equipped in your item menu. Don't bother healing Donald or Goofy, they take care of themselves pretty good, and they even heal you if you really need it. A good strategy is just focus on one body part at a time. CUTSCENE Now, time to do a little more business in Traverse Town. headback to the 3rd District and unlock the door that leads to the 1st District. Then, head down the alley directly behind you from the door and you'll end up at a door with a flame on it. Use your new fire magic to unlock it. Head through the door and then time your jumps just right so you can leap from floating rock to floating rock. Then, go around the left side of the house to enter it. CUTSCENE Now, you meet the house's resident: Merlin. After he returns his house to normal, save and then use the save point to go to your Gummi-Ship. You now have a little Gummi-Ship tutorial to go through. After that head to Wonderland. (The upper path.) 3.4 WONDERLAND My Level: 9 CUTSCENE After you disembark, you find yourself floating down a shaft. After you and Donald have a graceful landing, and Goofy falls on his face, you regain control of Sora. (I've always wanted to say this...!) Follow the White Rabbit. Go through the door at the end of the hallway. CUTSCENE CUTSCENE Go up and talk to the doorknob. Yes, you heard me, talk to the doorknob! CUTSCENE After the talk, go over to the bed and push it, then, go over to the table and drink the drink to shrink. As soon as you're shrunk, jump onto the floor, but watch out! Heartless appear! A new enemy: Red Nocturne. Don't use fire magic on them because they'll just absorb the magic and turn it into health for themselves. NOTE: I will no longer be telling the whereabouts of items in chests, there are far too many and some are too difficult to explain where they are hidden. But, once you see the chests for yourself you can find the way to them yourselves. After the Heartless are destroyed, go through the doorway you opened when you pushed the bed. CUTSCENE After the cutscene, the Queen of Hearts tells you to find evidence of Alice's innocence. All you have to do is find up to 4 pieces of evidence. Another search and find quest, fun. Here's where the evidence is located. Becareful though, Heartless are swarming the area! Before you can start finding the evidence, you must first go through the doorway to the left of the throne. There is also a save point to the left of the entrance of the Queen's Castle. Footprints: Once you enter Lotus Forest, go forward and take a right into the first thicket of bushes, you should see a Blue Trinity Mark and to the right and in front of it you should see a box containing this evidence. Antenna: From the entrance to Lotus Forest, go start through the trees ahead. You should see 3 tall mushrooms, jump onto the lower one, and then to the one on the right. Jump up to the next platform and there is another box with evidence. Stench: From the small mushroom in the last location, jump left instead of right from the small mushroom. Jump to the leaf platform and you should see another leaf across a gap. It may not look like it, but you can make this jump, so just jump across, if you don't make it, just keep trying and you will. Try to get a running headstart and then jump right at the edge of the gap. Jump up to the treetop that has the red jellybean thing on it and then jump down to the leaf platform in front of the jellybean. Follow the curve of the leaves to the left and up to the doorway and go through. You should find yourself in the Bizarre Room again, but you'll be falling from the ceiling and will land on the stove, right next to the evidence box. Claw Marks: From the entrance to Lotus Forest, you should see a Yellow Flower on the left. Give the Flower a potion through the command menu. It will make you big again. Go over to the big tree and target it. Hit it once. Then, go over to the big tree stump by the entrance. Then, target the jellybean thing. Turns out, it was just a fruit. PICK the fruit then EAT it. Now, from the small mushroom in the last location, jump left instead of right from the small mushroom. Jump to the leaf platform and you should see another leaf across a gap. It may not look like it, but you can make this jump, so just jump across, if you don't make it, just keep trying and you will. Try to get a running headstart and then jump right at the edge of the gap. Jump up to the treetop that has the red jellybean thing on it and then jump down to the leaf platform in front of the jellybean. Follow the curve of the leaves to the right and go through the doorway. You should land on a water faucet. Look in the direction Goofy is looking. See the box? Aw...but it looks so far away! Just jump and hope you make it, if you don't keep trying. Again, a running start helps. After you collect all 4 evidence pieces, the Cheshire Cat appears again and teaches you Blizzard magic. Now you can save Alice, head back to the Queen's Castle and save. Then approach the Queen's guards by her podium and give them the evidence. What!? The Queen is just a little off, don'tcha think? Oh well, if you want to keep your head, choose one. I don't think it matters which one you choose, as far as I know, this guessing game is rigged in your favor. After you choose the box, it shows that the Heartless tried to steal the Queen's heart, but she still doesn't believe you. CUTSCENE BOSS FIGHT: The Queen of Hearts and the Army of Cards HP: Varies. EXP GAINED: 100 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: None. First off, don't attack the cards, Donald and Goofy seem to have a preoccupation with taking them out. Attack the Queen first to knock her out, then head for the tower. There are 3 cranks and this is what you have to attack to win the boss fight. An easy way to take care of the cranks is to just have full magic and use all of it against the cranks, if you run out and still need to destroy cranks, when a crank is destroyed, it releases MP bubbles or you can attack the cards. Every now and then the Queen will revive, go over and knock her down again, then go back to attacking the Tower and cranks. After it's demolished, a cutscene starts. You have to find Alice and the kidnappers! Save really quick and then head back into Lotus Forest. CUTSCENE Get ready for a new enemy: Large Body. This guy is only vunerable from behind, so dodge around him and make your attack. When he glows and slaps his stomach, run away and let Donald and Goofy take this blow. After that's done with, head straight through the forest, following the path and then go through the doorway at the end. You'll end up in the Tea Party Garden. (Sit down in all the chairs for some neat items. But, if you sit in the wrong chair, Heartless appear. To get the table back, exit the room and reenter.) Go through the door on the left. What you have to do now is turn on the two lights. Just defeat the Heartless as they appear and then jump up to the lights and TOUCH them. Now, go back the way you came and go to the right-side-up Bizarre Room. Make sure you save on the way through the Queen's Castle, because you have another BOSS FIGHT: Trick Master HP: 600 HP EXP GAINED: 150 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: Ifrit's Horn, Navi-Gummi Piece. He looks tricky, but he isn't. Still, I recommend being at least level 10 before youre face him. If you need to level up, just go back to Lotus Forest. To finish Trick Master off, just keep using fire magic and when that runs out, jump up and attack him. Eventually, he'll start to droop, making it easier because you don't have to jump to attack him anymore. But, after awhile, he'll stand again. After a certain amount of damage, he'll walk around the room, if you have to, jump on top of the table and then leap at him. But, if you stay camped out on the table, he'll bat the table down into the ground, taking your advantage away, it will return to normal after a few seconds though. When he starts his pins on fire, cast Blizzard on them, that way you won't take any extra damage. Keep this pattern up and he'll fold in no time. Now, you'll seal your first "Keyhole." CUTSCENE Once you return to your Gummi-Ship, fly counter-clockwise around the ring. (You have to make a pit-stop at Traverse Town, but you don't have to disembark. But, this is a good chance to gain and level or two before you continue on to Olympus Coliseum. 3.5 OLYPMUS COLISEUM PART 1 My Level: 14 All Olympus consists of is just this one Coliseum. Head straight through the big doors in front of you. Once inside go up and talk to Phil. CUTSCENE Try to move the pedistal. When you say "It weighs a ton!" Go back and talk to Phil again. CUTSCENE Save, then talk to Phil again. You now have to go through 2 trials. TRIAL 1 Barrels: 20 Time Limit: 30 Seconds Run foward, hit the three barrels till they break. Run to the next group, if there are any left. if not, jump up to the next group and strike them. Finish off any remaining barrels with Fire, Blizzard, or normal strikes. TRIAL 2 Barrels: 25 Time Limit: 1 Minute First off, run around to the left, strike the barrels, turn around the corner, LIFT the single barrel, target the barrel along this straight part, THROW it at the single barrel, run around the next corner and you're almost at where you started. There is 2 barrels stacked on top of each other and a single barrel. Target the single and rotate the camera around so the you and the single barrel face the stacked barrels. Strike until the barrel flys at the stacked ones. Jump up to the next set, break them with Keyblade hits. Jump up to the next layer and there is a single barrel and 2 stacks of 2. Same plan as before. Finish the remaining barrels with hits. Jump up, another single and 3 stacks of 2. Same plan as the last 2 sets. Finish the next barrel with your Keyblade and then there is one left. It is on a platform in the air that you can't jump to, use fire magic. CUTSCENE REWARD: Magic Spell Thunder But, Phil still won't let you in the games! Alright, forget him, leave the coliseum. CUTSCENE Ooh, what's this!? An Entry Pass! Go back and show Phil who's who! Be sure to save your game when you reenter the coliseum. Now, it's time for the preliminaries! Even though it's against my policy this early in the game, give Donald and Goofy potions. (Have you customized their preferences yet? Set their HP and MP items usage to "Only in Emergancies"!) PRELIMINARIES--7 Seeds Match 1: Shadow Scout 4x Soldiers 3x Blue Rhapsodies Use fire against the Blue ones. This is simple stuff right here. CUTSCENE (Yeah, that's right, that's Cloud from FF7!) Match 2: Sinisters 3x Blue Rhapsodies 10x Shadows Fire against the Blue things, you should know how to handle Shadows by now! Match 3: Heat & Freeze 5x Red Nocturne 5x Blue Rhapsodies Fire against the blue things, ice against the red. Make sure you know which type you're locked onto! If you've run out of magic, use normal hits. CUTSCENE Match 4: Shadow Platoon 3x Red Nocturne 3x Blue Rhapsodies 2x Shadows 2x Soldiers Take care of the magic spitters first, then the Soldiers. Finish off the Shadows last. Match 5: Blue Revenge 10x Blue Rhapsodies Normal hits or fire magic. CUTSCENE Match 6: Big One 1x Large Body 4x Red Nocturne 4x Blue Rhapsodies Go after the Large Body first, and then finish the magic spitters off. Dodge Roll (You have it equipped, right?) around to avoid the Tummy Slap of Death thing. Match 7: Final Match BOSS FIGHT: Cloud HP: 300 HP EXP GAINED: 80 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: None. First of all, you don't HAVE to win this fight. This is the same as the fight with Leon, you can lose and still progress. But, for those of you who want to beat Cloud down, here's what to do. Use normal attacks, he seems to be fire proof. Or you can use Blizzard and Thunder, but your MPs won't last long. Save your potions for you. Donald and Goofy (depending on how good you did) should still have some left for themselves and you. You should still have all 3 of yours. When he leaps up and then impales the ground, be sure to Dodge Roll out of the way. Cloud also likes to stab forwards while sliding, and then doing a 3 hit combo. Just Dodge Roll out of the way. If you jump at Cloud to hit him from the air, he'll most likely jump back to avoid and possibly counterattack with that slide/stab thing. If you can, strike at the same time as Cloud so you deflect his attack. This causes him to stop and you can get a good combo in on him. (Combo Plus, you have it equipped, right?) After you do alot of damage to him. He changes his lunge attack. Instead of doing a 3 hit combo after the lunge, he does a 180 turn and then lunges again,180 turn and lunges again. He does the lunge/180 thing 5 times. Just jump over his attacks the first 4 times. The 5th time, however. he slide/lunges and then 180's and jump/stabs the ground. Dodge Roll this one. After you do enough damage, he does the jump/stab ground thing repeatedly. Just keep Dodge Rolling and striking him when he pulls his sword out of the ground and he should be finished quickly. CUTSCENE Save first, now you have a choice. A. Save Hercules or B. Run away and level up. If you are level 15 or higher, you should be safe, if not, choose B. Either way, make sure you saved, make sure you reequip the 3 of you with HP and MP healing items, and then do what you chose. If you choose to "Go from Zero to HERO!" you get a CUTSCENE BOSS FIGHT: Cerberus HP: 600HP EXP GAINED: 200 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: Inferno Band, Hero License, Ability Sonic Blade. Let Donald and Goofy do most of the damage until they get K.O.'d. Watch out for Cerberus's bites, they do alot of damage. Dodge Roll around and jump at the heads. Use Thunder magic to cause a lot of damage. Cerberus shoots meteors out of it's mouths, so be sure to Dodge Roll or jump over them. A good tactic is to get behind Cerberus and then try to jump onto it's right heal and then onto it's back. Run up it's back and then Lock-On and strike the heads. When Cerberus rears up and slams it's paws on the ground be sure to jump the second before the paws hit. When Cerberus shoots dark energy into the ground, Dodge Roll around to avoid the energy pillars that crash out of the ground or jump onto it's back. CUTSCENE Once that's over, go back inside, save and then leave. Wait, is that... Cloud on the steps there by the exit...? CUTSCENE Now, leave for real this time. CUTSCENE If you want, head back to Traverse Town. Personally, I always take a trip back to Traverse Town and make one run through the 2nd District, Hotel, Gizmo Shop, and 3rd District for some XP. If you go to the Item Shop, you can buy some new weapons for Donald and Goofy. This is also a good chance to level up. Whatever you do, the next level is... 3.6 DEEP JUNGLE My Level: 17 NOTE: DURING THIS LEVEL, SABOR, THE LEOPARD, WILL RANDOMLY APPEAR AT TIMES. AS FAR AS I KNOW, THERE IS NO SET PATERN FOR HIS APPEARENCES OTHER THAN THEY TEND TO HAPPEN AFTER A CUTSCENE. I AM PUTTING IN WHERE I HAVE SEEN HIM APPEAR. YOU MIGHT NOT NECESSARILY SEE HIM AT THE SAME SPOT THAT I DO. What's this!? You and Donald fight over the controls for the Gummi-Ship, you want to check out the jungle for Riku and Kairi, but he doesn't think that the King is there. The Gummi-Ship crash lands on Deep Jungle. CUTSCENE BOSS FIGHT: Sabor HP: 90 HP EXP GAINED: 15 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: None. Again, Fire magic is your best friend. Lock on and shoot the fire till your MPs run out, then switch to sword hits. When you build your MP back up, use Fire again. Sabor likes to jump around and then follow up with a claw swipe or two. So, just stay on the ground during the jump and then Dodge Roll away. CUTSCENE First thing you want to do is change Tarzan's preferences to what I recommended earlier. (HP and MP items used only in an emergancy.) Then, if you want to, (This is what I usually do.) steal all of Tarzan's items and accessories. but, you don't have to, it's just fun and gets you some neat stuff sometimes. Now, just jump off the same way Tarzan did. Now, you have a chance to save the game, either jump down the tree trunk and "surf" down the tree branches like from the movie or, jump up the two platforms. If you choose the tree trunk, you'll end up at the camp site right away, then just head into the tent. If you choose to go through the doorway by the platforms, go through the door, through the next door, now from the platform you're on, jump down to the next level and fall down the hole to your right. Then, just jump off that tree top and you'll land in some water. Swim to the ramp and go on that platform and head in the direction you were facing when you appeared in this room. Now, take the door on the left and you'll end up at the camp site. Enter the tent. CUTSCENE Save your game and talk to Jane. Oops! She lost the slides, guess you have to search and find them! Here's the locations. Slide 1: On top of the tent with Jane in it. Beside it is a globe and some boxes. Jump onto the boxes and then onto the tent. It's laying right in the center of the tent and you can't miss it. Slide 2: From the top of the tent, jump off into the little clearing surrounded by tents, on a green dresser there is a slide. Slide 3: This one is by the art easel, which is to the right of the boxes you used to jump up onto the tent. Slide 4: On top of the huge stack of boxes in the middle of the area. (If you can somehow miss this pile, it is directly in front of the tent.) Slide 5: Go back to where you found slide 1, jump onto the long stretch of tents, it is in the middle of the very last tent. Slide 6: Behind the globe on the boxes you used to jump up to slide 1. Once you have collected them all. head back into the tent and save. Then, EXAMINE the projector. CUTSCENE Get the feeling Mr. Clayton is up to something? Me too... Oh well, make sure you have Goofy and Tarzan in your party. Donald is usless right none basically because he has such weak HP. After this is set up, save again if you want and then leave the tent. But, as soon as you get outside... BOSS FIGHT: Sabor HP: 90 HP EXP GAINED: 15 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: None. Again, Fire magic is your best friend. Lock on and shoot the fire till your MPs run out, then switch to sword hits. When you build your MP back up, use Fire again. Sabor likes to jump around and then follow up with a claw swipe or two. So, just stay on the ground during the jump and then Dodge Roll away. Between the three of you, Sabor shouldn't last more than 30 seconds. After Sabor runs away again, tail between legs, go around the lab table and out that doorway. Now there are two ways you can go again. The easiest is the second, because the vine rope jumping is a huge pain, so I won't even bother explaining that part and I'll just go with the easy path. From where you enter the Hippo's Lagoon area, turn right and jump onto the first hippo, then over to the grass. Go to the right of that platform and jump across onto the next platform. Turn left a little and you should see another platform, jump to it then turn left again, you should se a small tree, jump on top of it, then up another tree top, and then finally a third. Jump down onto the platform (or directly to the hippos back) and then jump onto the little island with a treasure chest on it. Climb up this vine. CUTSCENE Now, head back to the tree house. A quick way back to the tree house is this: once the cinema ends, turn to the left and you should see a vine, climb it and you should be in a room called Climbing Trees. Follow the path around and jump to the platform across from you. If you are on the right platform, you should see a blueTrinity mark on it. Go through the door behind the Trinity mark. CUTSCENE Now, head back to the campsite, using the same path you did the first time. But, when you get back to the campsite... BOSS FIGHT: Sabor HP: 90 HP EXP GAINED: 15 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: None. Again, Fire magic is your best friend. Lock on and shoot the fire till your MPs run out, then switch to sword hits. When you build your MP back up, use Fire again. Sabor likes to jump around and then follow up with a claw swipe or two. So, just stay on the ground during the jump and then Dodge Roll away. Between the three of you, Sabor shouldn't last more than 30 seconds. After the fight with Sabor, head into the tent again. CUTSCENE Save the game and go see what Clayton fired at! CUTSCENE (But a very short one!) Quick defeat those new monkey Heartless to save the gorilla! Now it's time to go to an area that you haven't been to yet. The Bamboo Thicket. Leaving the tent, take a right and head into the Bamboo. Another group of Heartless! Good job, you saved another gorilla, head through to the next room. More Heartless, finish them to save another gorilla. Now, head back to camp. Finish off any Heartless you encounter along the way. You probably will have another encounter in the Bamboo Thicket and after you destroy the first wave of Heartless, you'll face a second wave with another new enemy: Power Wild. (The other monkey thing is a Bouncy Wild.) Be sure to save when you get back to camp. When you exit the tent, you might encounter a mushroom thing that is white with a red hat. DO NOT ATTACK THEM. Pay attention to what they do. If you play their little game of charades 3 times, you'll get some cool items. Right now though, you can only do 3 magic spells so cast a certain magic on them after they do a certain thing. Thunder: A light above it's head. Blizzard: On their knees begging. Fire: Shivering. And for later on... Cure: Laying down on the ground. Aero: Spinning in circles. Stop: They don't move. Gravity: Floating in the air. Now, after the mushrooms, head to the Treetop room again. (The room you went through to get to the tree house.) When you get to the tree top room, you have to fight more Heartless. Another gorilla saved. Head to the tree house. Once inside the tree house, another fight commences and another gorilla is saved. Head back to camp, head into the tent, save, and then leave. CUTSCENE Head off into the thicket again. (The direction of the gunshot.) CUTSCENE BOSS FIGHT: Sabor HP: 180 HP EXP GAINED: 150 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: White Fang. Ooh, Sabor's back and he has some more HP now...oh well, use fire again to start off. Once it runs out, go in close and attck relentlessly. Sabor likes to jump around and then follow up with a claw swipe or two. So, just stay on the ground during the jump and then Dodge Roll away. After you hit him enough, he'll jump into the trees and you'll lose your lock on. Just wait for him to reappear, which is usually on the otherside of the thicket. He also has a new attack. He headbutt lunges at you. Just jump when you see him lower his head. CUTSCENE That is the last time you have to worry about Sabor. But, hurry! Get back to camp and check on Jane! Take care of any Heartless in the area and then head inside the tent. CUTSCENE Save quickly and run back to the treetop area where you can get to the tree house. But, when you get to the tree top area, you find Jane and the gorilla captive! Just destroy the big black fruit because the Heartless just keep respawning if you don't. Head back to the campsite again once you're done. Destroy any Heartless and then head inside the tent. Save your game and then head to the thicket. Once there, head into the area after it. (The Cliff area.) NOTE: You may encounter Heartless in the thicket, if you do, use a Tent, Cottage or Camping Set to heal yourself. CUTSCENE BOSS FIGHT: Clayton HP: 250 HP EXP GAINED: None. ITEMS DROPPED/WON: None. Clayton has a group of Heartless that you'll wanna take care of first. Clayton just LOVES to heal himself after you do any damage to him, so you'll have to be quick. Also, his shotgun does alot of damage, depending on how close you are to him. But, he stops after every 3 shots to reload or use a potion. He will also swing his gun around and strike you with it. Do not use any magic on him yet, you'll need it later. CUTSCENE BOSS FIGHT: Stealth Sneak and Clayton HP: Stealth Sneak: 750 HP Clayton: 250 HP EXP GAINED: Stealth Sneak: 30 XP if first defeated, 240 XP if second defeated. Clayton: 30 XP if first defeated, 240 XP if second defeated. ITEMS DROPPED/WON: Magic Spell Cure, Navi-G Piece, Jungle King, Red Trinity. To get to Clayton, you must first knock him off his mount. Target the Stealth Sneak and use fire magic on him. (You listened to me when I told you to save it, right?) Now, Clayton shoots from his mount (till he falls) and then, the Stealth Sneak also shoots twin lasers out of it's hands and twing homing lasers out of it's eyes. When the two seperate, go for the Stealth Sneak first, then finish Clayton off. Stealth Sneak will also headbutt you, this is a pain when trying to heal and you get interuppted. CUTSCENE Head up into the cave and make your way upwards by jumping from platform to platform. Once you reach the top, go through the top cave entrance. Now, you'll seal your second "Keyhole". CUTSCENE CUTSCENE CUTSCENE (Yeah, that's alot of cutscenes.) You heard Donald and Goofy! Head back to Traverse Town and talk to Leon! 3.7 Traverse Town Part 2 My Level: 20 Once you're back in Traverse Town, head to the 2nd District's Hotel. Go into the Green Room and exit through the back door. If you want, before you go through into the Hotel, spend some time and level up in the 2nd District and the Gizmo Shop. Also, if you've collected any of the 101 Dalmations, you should check out Pongo and Perdita's house in the back alley of the 2nd District. If you decide to level up a little, becareful, there are alot of Large Bodies in Traverse Town now. There are also 3 new enemies. Yellow Opera, Green Requiem and Air Soldier. They are fairly strong, especially the Green Requiem. While they never attack, they do use CURE and when they use Cure on a Large Body, it can do a whole lot of damage. When you're ready, head to the right when you get out in the alley behind the hotel and go to the barred doorway. There is a Red Trinity right by it, use it and then go into the door. Swim through the channel and talk to Leon. After he tells you about sealing the Keyholes, talk to him again. Ooh, you got a pretty little gem...better head up those stairs behind you so you can find Cid. When you get to the top of the stairs, you'll see a platform, jump onto it and you'll appear in the Merlin's House. Head out of Merlin's house and go to the 3rd District. Take care of any Heartless here and then go through the doors leading to the 1st District. Go into the Accessory Shop and talk to Cid about the Gummi Block. Save the game while you're here too. CUTSCENE Hmm...something's going on at the Gizmo Shop, eh? Well...deliver the book to Merlin first, then we'll go exploring! Oh! How about that? Done and done. You made the delivery and even got a summon spell out of it! What luck! Head back to the 3rd District now, you know that small abandoned house? Well, Cid, Leon, Yuffie, and Aerith have all taken residence up in there. Drop in and say hi. But, you're interupted before you can get to the house. CUTSCENE Now, that's odd...Riku disappeared on ya...oh well, it had to have been important. Now, head to house you were going to before. Go over and talk to Cid. CUTSCENE Now, leave that cozy lil house and head to the 1st District and save your game, now head to the 2nd District's Gizmo Shop. Fight through all the Heartless (There's around 5 waves of Heartless) and then exit the Gizmo shop through the door on the other side of the room. Climb the ladder to the left and you're on the roof. Use Red Trinity on the boards and PULL on the bell 3 times. What's this!? A keyhole, right here in Traverse Town! Just like Leon said! CUTSCENE Maybe you should try to seal it...might want to head back to the 1st District and save though...(Make sure you go through the 3rd District or stay on the upper walkway if you do though because...) BOSS FIGHT: Opposite Armor HP: 1200 HP EXP GAINED: 390 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: Magic Spell Aero, Navi-G Piece. For the first few strikes, it attacks you as Guard Armor, so use the same tactics as last time, but, after a you do a certain amount of damage, it turns into Opposite Armor. Just Dodge Roll when it tries to use it's Stomach laser cannon. When the pieces fall apart, go after the legs first, then the arms. When I say legs, I mean the things that he walks on now, not the actual legs. Same thing for the arms. Try to stay underneath the Armor to avoid most of the damage. When the parts break, they drop a lot of health orbs, run and pick them up as fast as you can. Hopefully, you have Cure in your shortcut menu, cause if not, you're gonna die trying to heal yourself the long way. Use Thunder alot, but always make sure you have 1 MP left so you can heal yourself. Or you can use potions, but I don't know if you guys have them equipped. After you beat him, you seal the Keyhole. Head back to the Accessory Shop and save. But, when you get to the shop, the clerk is missing and someone is sleeping on the floor! CUTSCENE Now, you can save. Then, go to your new and improved Gummi-Ship. Ooh, but wait! There's a tournament being held at the Coliseum...and a great reward is being offered to the winner. Maybe you should go and level up there a little, eh? For help beating the Phil Cup, check out the Side-Quests section of the FAQ/Walkthrough. So, if you want to compete now, scroll down, which I suggest you do. After that, head to the WARP HOLE that is located after the Coliseum. Enter the hole (you'll have to use your warp drive to get to Olympus and then select the warp hole) and you're on your way to Agrabah. 3.8 AGRABAH My level: 24 CUTSCENE As soon as it ends, a new kind of Heartless attack. Just use normal attacks, and then head through the little wooden door to the left. Smash the barrels for some munnies and then save. Head back to the Plaza and then go through the huge open doorway. One thing, the Shadows are tougher now. They cause more damage, and can take more. But, you also get more XP for defeating them. Another fight commences, dispatch the Heartless. From the door way you entered from, take the right path, and then to the end of that path. To the right there is a pole, climb it. MOVE the dresser off of the carpet. Some treasue chests and a save point. If you should exit this room and return, there will be a man selling/buying items. Against the wall to the far right of the save point there is another dresser, MOVE it and RELEASE the lock. Head out of the room using the open door. Ah! You're back in the Plaza, but on a higher level. Turn to the right from where you start and you should see some open windows with a wooden awning thing sticking out. Jump to the first one, then to the second, then onto the solid ground quickly. Why? Because if you stay of those wooden awnings for more than 1 second, they fall off and you'll have to do it all over again. Remember that lock you released? It opened this gate here, go through it.Once you're back on Main Street, take the left path (the one you didn't take before) and go through that doorway. CUTSCENE Uh-oh...before you can find Aladdin, you have to beat these Heartless, once you're done with that, jump onto the boxes in the left corner and up to that platform. RELEASE the lock and then turn to the right from the lock and you should see some more open windows with awnings sticking out. Jump to the first one, then to the second, then onto the solid ground quickly. Why? Because if you stay of those awnings for more than 1 second, they fall off and you'll have to do it all over again. Remember that lock you released? It opened this gate here, go through it. Now, head back to the beginning of the level and then go out the doorway that leads to the desert. CUTSCENE (Kinda) Save and then talk to the carpet. Get on the carpet and head out. CUTSCENE Quick, save Aladdin by defeating all of Jafar's Heartless. CUTSCENE (Enjoy the Genie's Intro) The best choice right now is to replace Aladdin with Donald. The Heartless around here will finish off Donald pretty quickly and Aladin is much stronger. CUTSCENE Once again, you're ambushed when you return to Agrabah. Head into the storage room again and save your game and then head back outside. Uh-oh looks like someone did some rearranging while you were gone. The main door is blocked off! In the rear right corner of this room, there are some boxes, jump onto them and then up to the next platform. Walk onto the orange arch and jump over to the green one. Go through that door and fight off the Heartless. Darn! Looks like Main Street is blocked off from here too! Okay remember those wooden awnings? Time to jump over them again. Jump the same way you did last time. Finally, you're on Main Street. Jump down and destory the Heartless. That big doorway used to be blocked, but now it's open, go through it. Now you're at the palace gates. There are more Heartless in here, too. But, nothing's happening in here, so go back to main street. Now, from the door you just came through, you should see a blocked doorway in front of you head towards it. See that big cement block? Jump on it and then jump up the next 3 cement blocks. To your right is an alternative entrance to the room that had the carpet in it (Turns out it was Aladdin's house.) So, go in and save your game. Go down the pole that is directly behind the save point to return to the cement blocks. Walk onto the turquoise awning and then turn right. Go all the way down to the red awning. Look left and you should see an open doorway, jump to it and go through. Becareful, the Heartless in this room might turn out to be Black Fungus. If so, attack quickly and use Gravity repeatedly. Watch out because Black Fungus can poison you. Hopefully when you were fighting those first few Heartless, you didn't fall off the platform you started on. If you did, don't worry, there are boxes you can jump on to get back up to the platform. Now, you should see more wooden awnings, jump over them again, being as quick and careful as ever. Once you're on the solid platform again, jump on the boxes to the next platform. Once you're up there, look to the right and jump across to that platform. Run down the platfom to the left and RELEASE the lock. Now, go back to Main Street. Remember the cement blocks? Get back up to the turquoise awning. From the turquoise awning, you should be able to see the open doorway, jump over to the yellow awning and go through that door. Once inside, jump down to Jasmine and Jafar. CUTSCENE BOSS FIGHT: Pot Centipede HP: 600 HP EXP GAINED: 250 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: Ray of Light This fight is confusing. There are 2 main things to kill. The tail and the head. Also, Pot Spiders are running around the screen like crazy. Let Aladdin and Goofy deal with the Pot Spiders, just focus on the Head and the Tail portions. Use Cure whenever your life gets lowand since Donald isn't here, you'll also have to cure Aladdin and Goofy. But, when the Pot Spiders are destroyed, they often drop munny or health orbs, so be sure to pick those up as well. This boss isn't that strong, so just use normal attacks and save your MP for healing. After a certain amount of damage, the Centipede breaks up, now you have to watch out because the Head and Tail attack seperately. The tail whips it's tail around and strikes you and the head uses it's antenna's and electrocutes you with thunder. During the course of the fight, the Centipede will wander around the city of Agrabah, so just follow it and keep up the attack. CUTSCENE You heard the man! To the desert! (But save in the storage room first!) Once you reach the desert, ride the carpet. CUTSCENE BOSS FIGHT: Guardian Lion HP: 375 HP EXP GAINED: 400 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: None. This guy is hard! But, only because he shoots homing lasers and summons Heartless all the time. Let Aladdin and Goofy deal with the Heartless again and attack the eyes. First of all, you have to get on top of the head. So, go around back on jump your way up. It looks impossible, but you can get up there. If you have the ability Guard, you can block the lasers back at him, but if not, you can time it right so you hit the laser with a normal attack and hit them back at the lion. What really sucks is that you have to be so close to the eyes and attack it, unless you're deflecting the shots back at him that is, and the lasers can hit you so easily. Just use cure and if you really need to, equip Aladdin and Goofy with potions before the fight. Try to stay away from the lion's mouth, the Heartless it spawns comes from it's mouth and it breaths fire sometimes and it does an extremely large amount of damage. If you try to reflect the lasers back at him, they rarely hit him and do damage. When you do enough damage to one eye, it will fade out and then you'll be left with the last one. Head into the mouth now and you'll be inside the Cave of Wonders. The CoW is an extremely dangerous place. There are traps, paths by pits (but they don't kill you if you fall in them, there's a basement) and tons of Heartless. Be very careful and keep an eye out for the traps. There are often boulders running along a path,and those take a good chunk out of your life. With that said, start by running down the path in front of you and taking care of any Heartless. The first boulder trap is here, on the little inset on the ground, when run over this part of the path, run really quick and then jump onto the platform on the left when you see it, Go through the door to the next room. Destroy the Heartless and then walk down this path. There is another boulder trap against the left wall and the right wall has pit. When you reach the part of the room that has the water spitters, jump on top of the first one and then jump up and grab the platform that is above you. Go through the next door. Now in this room there is no boulder trap but there are water spitters, just jump on the first one and then go up to the platform that is above it. Now, you should run down the platform and one you see the door, defeat any Heartless and then go through it. Once in here, you'll have to take are of the Heartless before you can do anything. Once done with them, you'll want to EXAMINE the pillar against the back wall. Well, now, is there anything left to explore? Exit this room and jump into the first pit you encounter.Don't worry, it'll only bring you to the basement and it won't hurt you. When you first appear in the basement, you'll be in the Silent Chamber. You will see stairs behind you, a darkened doorway and a little waterfall thing. Go through a darkened doorway and you'll see an old friend--a save point! Joy! But, now, you're almost stuck here. Your only choice is to go back upstairs through the stairs by the save point. You're going to appear in the Hall (the 2nd room of the CoW) make your way back to the 2nd to last room and jump back into the basement. This time, take the stairs behind you and you'll have a choice of going upstairs or jumping into the water on the other side of the platform. Jump into the water. Now you're in the Hidden Room. Go up onto the platform and EXAMINE the pillar. Hmm...it kinda looks familar, doesn't it? But how do you hit it from all the way on the platform? You can either use Fire magic or jump at it and hit it with your keyblade. CUTSCENE Head back to the save point and save your game. Now head back to the Treasure Room. There is another save point in the Treasure Room now, so save once you're there and then go through into the Lamp Chamber. CUTSCENE BOSS FIGHT: Jafar HP: 450 HP EXP GAINED: 600 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: Magic Spell Blizzara Okay, even though Genie is attacking you, he has no power over what he's doing, so don't attack him and second of all, even if you wanted to, you can't. Hehe...so, attack Jafar with all you have. Jafar is an expert with magic, so when he says "Kallah la kot" or whatever he actually says, watch out because he's going to use Fire magic, but it comes out like a laser beam. But, this is a perfect time to attack him because he's preoccupied. So, jump up onto his platform, get behind him and slash at him. If you have Sonic Blade equipped, use it when you get close enough. Genie tends to follow you around, so watch out and when he says "I'm really sorry about this!", "Run!", "Please keep moving! I don't want to hit you!" or "Watch out!" Dodge Roll out of the way. After Genie punches the ground, HP balls come up sometimes, so collect them while avoiding attacks. Sometimes Jafar will cast Blizzard, but this will be an actual blizzard, icicles will tornado around the center of the room. When that happens, run to the outside of the circle and stay there till it's over. Every once in a while Jafar will also cast a shield around himself which halves any damage done to him. This usually haopens after you use Gravity on him, so refrain from doing that. When Jafar stands still and says "Musa luka musabasmas" or whatever, he's going to cast Fire on his staff and then he'll have a Flame Staff for a short period of time. His staff will then deal twice as much damage as normal. After Jafar sustains a certain amount of damage, he'll start flying around the room as a little purple orb. If you press /\, Goofy and Aladdin will run and attack Jafar quicker than usual. CUTSCENE Good job, run back and save really quick in the Treasure Room. Once you've done that, head back in and seal the keyhole. CUTSCENE Great! Jafar has come back for seconds. Before you can seal the keyhole, you'll have to finish him. Looks like Jasmine is safe for now, head down into the pit. CUTSCENE BOSS FIGHT: Jafar-Genie HP: 750 HP EXP GAINED: 730 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: Magic Spell Fira, Ansem's Report 1, Three Wishes, Summon Spell Genie, Green Trinity. Okay, this is tricky. Not really. Jafar isn't the target, Iago the parrot is carrying Jafar's lamp around, so target the lamp and let loose. But, Jafar will still attack you by throwing molten rocks at you. When Iago stops moving to rest, now's your chance to do some big damage. Don't botehr using any magic against Iago, keyblade attacks do more damage and you'll need the MP for curing yourself because you will be hit by the rocks. Iago will start grunting and groaning and then start to rest more frequently after you hurt him enough. CUTSCENE Okay this part is fun. You get to control Carpet and fly your way out of the cave. Just avoid the pillars and falling rocks. The second part is harder because there is more falling pillars, it's a smaller area and flame pillars leap up at you. Just collect the health orbs so you stay in good health and you're done. CUTSCENE CUTSCENE Equip the Three Wishes keychain, it may not have as long of a reach as Jungle King, but it's attack is higher, deals more critical hits and is difficult to deflect. Save your game and then board the Gummi-Ship. You should head back to Traverse Town now. 3.9 TRAVERSE TOWN PART 3 My Level: 29 Head into the Accessory Shop and use the Green Trinity to open up the Synthesis Shop. Then head up and Synth one of every item, if you can. Once you did that, close out of the talk window and talk to him a second time. More items should have appeared, Synth one of every new one. NOTE: For right now, only Synth one of each, you'll thank me later when you're trying to Synth enough items to Synth the Ultima Weapon. After you've done that, go talk to Cid and buy SysUp1, and ComSys2 (if you haven't already) and finally, ComSys3. This is also a good chance to level up if you want. There are new accessories in the Accessory Shop and new weapons for Donald and Goofy in the Item Shop. Also, be sure to check out the Dalmation's house to get some rewards, if you've been collecting the Dalmation puppies, that is. Once you're done, warp back to Agrabah, but don't disembark, choose the Select World choice when you get there. You now have a choice that will affect where Monstro appears throughout the game. If you choose the upwards path to Halloween Town, Monstro will appear there and the same goes for the bottom path to Atlantica. I'd choose the bottom path because Atlantica has a lower battle level and that's where you'll want to go next anyways. 3.10 MONSTRO My Level: 30 Just let me be the first to say that Monstro is one messed up whale! CUTSCENE CUTSCENE Follow Pinocchio to Geppetto's wrecked ship. CUTSCENE After it ends, save your game and go through the door that Pinocchio went through. Now, Monstro can be very confusing, so I'll do this chamber by chamber. There will be Heartless in every chamber, remember that. Chamber 1 CUTSCENE Guess ya gotta find Riku and Pinocchio now...great, There are two doors, take the left door. Chamber 2 Go through the door at the opposite side of the room. Chamber 3 Do not fall off this platform or else you'll have to start over. So, basically, don't start slashing wildly. Once you're finished, go through the door that is on the same platform as you are, Chamber 2 Go through the door on the platform, there is only one so it can't be too confusing. Chamber 5 Go through the door on the other side of the room. Chamber 6 This chamber is SOOOO confusing because it has about 5 doors in it and the Barrel Spiders don't help. Destroy the Heartless then head through the top door labeled Chamber 5. Chamber 5 Okay, yeah we backtracked but you have to do it. Go through the door on the platform you are on. Chamber 4 CUTSCENE CUTSCENE Save your game and go after Riku and Pinocchio! You don't have to worry about equipping yourself, it's an easy fight coming up, you have a surprise helper so just head through the door that Pinocchio went through. CUTSCENE BOSS FIGHT: Parasite Cage HP: 450 HP EXP GAINED: 500 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: Goofy learns ability Cheer. Ooh! What's this!? Riku is helping you! With 3 party members and yourself, this boss fight is really easy! Just use normal attacks and cure yourself with cure (duh!) and save your magic for just curing. Parasite Cage is only vunerable from the front and you'll also have to jump up to get it or have Aerial Sweep equipped. The only attack PC has is swiping at you with the 2 tentacles, so just swing and most likely you'll block them and get tech points. CUTSCENE Jump down the hole Riku and Pinocchio went down. CUTSCENE Open the chest by Geppetto to receive Shared Ability High-Jump. Save your game and chase down Riku! From the ship, go back to the part of Monstro you FIRST began in, turn around and look back towards the ship. To the left is the platform from the cutscene that had water draining, on it is a Blue Trinity, swim to it and get on it. Jump from that platform to the one in the center. Be sure you have equipped High-Jump! Now, jump up to a higher platform that is on the platform you just jumped from. From here you have a full view of the room. Open the chest behind you to get a summon gem. Now, head back to Geppetto and save. Head to the front of the ship and look to the right, see that little outsticky platform? Jump to it. Turn to the right and then jump to that platform, jump to the pink platform, then to the next one and go through the door. Now you must jump up all the platforms to get to the top of the throat. There are Heartless on every platform so you'll most likely fall to the bottom whenever you fight them. Just struggle to the top, and if all else fails, don't fight, just jump. But, if you're going to fight, don't do combos, just do single strikes, that way there is less chance of you falling to the bottom. When you get to top, you're automatically sucked into the stomach. CUTSCENE BOSS FIGHT: Parasite Cage HP: 900 HP EXP GAINED: 1000 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: Magic Spell Stop. Same as last time, except you've lost Riku and PC is twice as strong. Save all MP for Cure and watch out for the yellow around where you're standing, it hurts. Just get in front of the cage and jump and strike it or have Aerial Sweep equipped. The tentacles are a little quicker this time. (Or so it seems...) But you should still be able to deflect them easily. The tentacles also attack together with one swing instead of two seperate. Once you hurt it enough, it'll tilt back and it's mouth will open. Switch targets and hit the orb in it's mouth. HP orbs will fall out, collect them when the mouth closes and then continue attacking. When it's almost killed, it will stand on it's tentacles and handstand and bite at you. Just Dodge Roll underneath it if you can or go into the yellow, it'll hurt less. CUTSCENE CUTSCENE Monstro will now spit you back out and you'll head back towards Agrabah automatically. Choose Select World and go to Traverse Town. There is also another Tournament being held! Yippee! For help with the Tournment, consult the Side-Questsportions of this FAQ/Walkthrough. Hopefully, you did pick up the Summon Gem and Torn page inside Monstro. 3.11 TRAVERSE TOWN PART 4 My level: 31 Just a few things you have to check out. Merlin's House, Synth shop, any item purchases whether it be Items or Accessories, Geppetto's house is now taking space in the empty lot behind the Accessory shop, Cid's Shop for Gummis and do any leveling up you want to do. When you talk to Geppetto, he gives you tons of Gummi-Ship blueprints he made up! There is also the Keychain Wishing Star in a treasure chest. But, it's strength and reach are really bad so I advise that you don't equip it. When you go to Merlin's return the torn page. For information on the Storybook sidequest, consult the 100 Acre Woods section of this FAQ/Walkthrough. Also, talk to Merlin to get the Spellbinder Keyblade, but that is another Keyblade I wouldn't use. It's attack is too low. Although, it does enhance magic and summon power and raise max MP by 2...I take that back use it if you want. It seems fairly decent. Have your summon gem turned into a summon by speaking to the Fairy God Mother. Whenever you get done here, head back to Agrabah and then continue towards Atlantica, hopefully, you won't be interuppted again. 3.12 ATLANTICA My level: 34 Let's just hope Donald knows what he's doing...well looks like you made it down okay. CUTSCENE Well, now you have a tutorial on how to swim and it will also apply later on when you learn to fly, so remember these controls! Just swim to all the places that Flounder is at and you'll finish the test quickly. After you're done... CUTSCENE ...and some Heartless appear. Use your new swim ability and finish the jellyfish Heartless off. Then, go EXAMINE the shell that Flounder and Sebastian hid it. Hit it once and it'll open up. Ariel is pretty much useless in this level, the only thing she's good for is a free item shop that has 3 potions, 2 ethers, 2 Protect Chains, and a Thunder Ring. Steal it and keep Donald and Goofy with you this time. Now, follow the Trident markers to get to the palace. When you get to the Undersea Valley... CUTSCENE And then you'll start swimming again, but watch out because Heartless appear again. All you have to do is follow the markers and you'll eventually reach the palace. Watch out for the upwards current in the Calm Depths, or else you'll be pushed back up to the Valley. When you get to Triton's Palace, you'll encounter a new Heartless and it's stronger than others. Head straight through this room to the other side and enter Triton's Throne Room. CUTSCENE Once you have control of Sora again, head back to the Undersea Gorge and go Ariel's Grotto. Go to the left of the door you just came through, and you should see Ariel's Grotto. Check out all the treasure chests in this room and you should turn up a Torn-Page. After you're done talk to Flounder and then leave the room. CUTSCENE If you want, you can take the Dolphin for a spin. GRAB ON when it comes close and then press O to get off whenever you want. Now, head back to the Undersea Valley and get on the Dolphin. Eventually, he'll swim against the strong current and you'll end up at the Sunken Ship. Swim into the Sunken Ship. CUTSCENE Swim over to the treasure chest and try to open it...uh-oh! Big shark! Now, open the chest and then go outside the ship. You can avoid the boss fight, but I recommend that you fight him because he's simple and you get a nice chunk of XP. BOSS FIGHT: Shark HP: 150 HP EXP GAINED: 100 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: 2 Item Boxes (Usually contains a High-Potion and an Ether.) The only way the shark can attack you is by biting you, so just stay to the side of him and strike him. The shark turns around pretty quick though, so let loose with a combo, swim away, and then do it over again. After the shark swims away, be sure that you picked up the Crystal Trident from inside the Sunken Ship. Once you're sure you go it, return to Ariel's Grotto. If you go through the Undersea Valley, the shark might appear again! Uh-oh! BOSS FIGHT: Shark HP: 150 HP EXP GAINED: 100 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: 2 Item Boxes (Usually contains a High-Potion and an Ether.) The only way the shark can attack you is by biting you, so just stay to the side of him and strike him. The shark turns around pretty quick though, so let loose with a combo, swim away, and then do it over again. The shark has a second attack now, he quick spins and tail slaps you! Just swim out of the way after every combo and you should be safe. As long as you're here in the Valley, go to the Tranquil Grotto and save. Now, head to Ariel's Grotto. But, when you get to the Grotto, the shark might be here again! Won't he learn? BOSS FIGHT: Shark HP: 150 HP EXP GAINED: 100 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: 2 Item Boxes (Usually contains a High-Potion and an Ether.) The only way the shark can attack you is by biting you, so just stay to the side of him and strike him. The shark turns around pretty quick though, so let loose with a combo, swim away, and then do it over again. The shark has a second attack now, he quick spins and tail slaps you! Just swim out of the way after every combo and you should be safe. Now, you're inside Ariel's Grotto, swim over to the far wall. CUTSCENE CUTSCENE Now, return to the Triton's Palace. CUTSCENE Now, head to the Throne Room. CUTSCENE Okay, you have to run around a little bit more. When you're given the option to switch someone out for Ariel (the second time you're given the option actually) don't get rid of anyone. Goofy should have MP gift by now, and you'll need that and Donald will help cast magic during this fight. Head back to the Sunken Ship now. You save inside the Throne Room by opening the seashell. Now that you're in the Sunken Ship area, you've got to fight the shark again! BOSS FIGHT: Shark HP: 150 HP EXP GAINED: 100 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: 2 Item Boxes (Usually contains a High-Potion and an Ether.) The only way the shark can attack you is by biting you, so just stay to the side of him and strike him. The shark turns around pretty quick though, so let loose with a combo, swim away, and then do it over again. The shark has a second attack now, he quick spins and tail slaps you! Just swim out of the way after every combo and you should be safe. Now, swim around the outside of the ship until you see the tip of a ship right up against a wall. Go over and EXAMINE it. Now go through the door that Sebastian opened for you. You'll have a choice between a straight path and going left, for now go straight and through the doorway. First off, equip Donald and Goofy with at least 2 Ethers each and equip a couple on yourself too, you'll need it because the next fight all depends on magic. Make sure Goofy has MP Gift equipped too. After that, hit the shell to get a save point. Save your game and then go back and take the left path. Go all the way down the left path and through the door, down that path and through that door. CUTSCENE BOSS FIGHT: Ursula, Jetsam and Flotsam HP: Ursula: 450 HP, Jetsam and Flotsam: 60 HP EXP GAINED: 1000 XP for Ursula. None for Jetsam and Flotsam. ITEMS DROPPED/WON: Shared Ability Mermaid Kick. Okay, first off, if you ever run out of MP and Goofy is being stingy or used all of his stuff on Donald, attack Jetsam and Flotsam to restore your MP. Whenever Ursula's cauldren is red, cast Blizzara on it. Whenever it's blue, cast Fira on it. After the cauldren is hit, Ursula should be stunned and you can get a couple of hit's in on her before she recovers. When Ursula throws in a bottle and a tornado comes out of the cauldren, watch out and don't bother casting any magic on it now. You'll know when Ursula is stunned because she'll stop cackling and scream. She'll also float up a little and her tentacles will go limp. Even if you knock Jetsam, Flotsam or both of them out, Ursula will eventually Cure them. If you attack Ursula when she isn't stunned, she'll start spinning around the room hitting you guys with her tentacles, and her tentacles are sharp and hurt alot. If you order Donald and Goofy to attack the cauldren (Press /\ when you're locked onto the cauldren.) Donald will usually cast the right magic against it. CUTSCENE Head back to the save point you were at before you fought Ursula. Re-equip items if you want, but this time just equip healing items. Save your game then head back to the Sunken Ship. If there are Heartless in this room, take care of them and then make sure you've equipped Mermaid Kick. When you get to the Calm Depths, use a Cottage if you need to and then use Mermaid Kick and swim through the current to the other side of the passage. Go through the opening on the otherside. CUTSCENE BOSS FIGHT: Ursula HP: 900 HP EXP GAINED: 1500 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: Magic Spell Thundara, Ansem's Report 3 Crab Claw. Yeah...okay. Ursula was big before, but she's HUGE now. Target her face and go up and smack her around. Use Cure when you need to and other than that, don't use magic. Ursula spits at you sometimes, and sometimes it's biting, either way, avoid it. Sometimes she has Thunder casting from above her and it hurts a little bit, there's not you can do to avoid those, so just swing and hope that you deflect it. When she casts Thunder-Rage (That's what I call it because it usually happens after you hurt her alot and she's angry) watch out because that hurts alot and you can't deflect these ones as easily. If you get too far away from her, she'll spit a Fira beam at you and you can't avoid it unless you Mermaid Kick out of the way. Sometimes, she'll blow you away from her and other times she'll suck you towards her and bite you, depending on what she does, use Mermaid Kick to go in the opposite direction.. The best strategy is the simplest: Just swim in and strike her for all you're worth and heal if you need to but Donald will usually heal you first. CUTSCENE Well, now you just have to seal the keyhole, head back to Ariel's Grotto one last time. But, save first in the Throne Room. When you get in the Grotto, head towards the thing you put the Crystal Trident in before. CUTSCENE Well, another keyhole has been sealed, but where to next? Make sure you have Crabclaw equipped, it's better than any Keyblade you have right now. Head to a save point and board the Gummi-Ship. I think a quick trip to Traverse Town is in order. Just stock up on items, Synth some items, check out Gepetto's for some more blueprints, level up a little if you think you need it, check the Dalmation's House and finally, check out Cid's for some new Gummi's if you want. Then Warp to Agrabah and then head towards Halloween Town. (Halloween Town is the upper path.) 3.12 HALLOWEEN TOWN My level: 37 CUTSCENE Check out your new clothes, cool huh? This is one of my favorite levels. There is save point right behind where you start and it's the only one you'll see for awhile, so remember where it is. After you've saved, head through the gate in front of you. CUTSCENE Looks like the Heartless are already here, attack them! Wait a second...they aren't moving and you can't attack them, what's going on!? Walk around this room for awhile till the next cutscene begins. CUTSCENE Talk to the mayor for some info on what's going on. Remember the house that coughed smoke in one of the cutscenes? Go to it and run up the stairs inside. CUTSCENE Well...you haven't had a search and find quest since...umm...okay search and find quests have been commonplace, but let's have fun anyways! If you're going to replace someone with Jack, replace Donald. But, by now, Donald is decent and Goofy is too, so I never replace them. (Except of course to steal a temporary party member's items,,,hehe who said the Keyblade master had to be pure of Heart?) Before you go anywhere, there is a Torn Page on the bookcase in the lab. Head back outside the lab. CUTSCENE Great...the Heartless seem to be for real this time, and they can attack back unlike Jack's little stage productions. Once you're back in Guillotine Square, you'll want to find Sally. From the left of the lab, there is a path that circles around the Square (That makes sense...), follow it for a few steps and you should see an iron gate, don't go in it. Go past the gate a few steps and there is another path, go into this second path, up the stairs and through this gate that leads to the graveyard. Defeat any Heartless in the Graveyard. CUTSCENE Now, head back to the lab. CUTSCENE Once you're back in the lab, talk to the professor. CUTSCENE Now, go back to the Graveyard you were just in. Remember that coffin that Lock, Shock and Barrel leapt out of? Jump into it! Heartless will appear in both the Square and the Graveyard, so be careful. After going through the coffin you'll be in a room with a giant pumpkin and the mayor. This room is also Heartless free! Go over and talk to the mayor. Now, you'll have to play a little memory game. Watch the tombstones for the ghosts and then after the 3 ghosts have appeared, touch the tombstones they have come out of, in the order they came out in. For example, if the ghosts came out like: 1st Ghost: 3rd Tombstone 2nd Ghost: 6th Tombstone 3rd Ghost: 2nd Tombstone You would EXAMINE them in that order. After it's done, open the chest that was in the pumpkin. Now, go back to the lab again and talk to the Professor. CUTSCENE Kids do the darndest things! Chase those little brats down! Head into Guillotine Square. CUTSCENE Defeat the Heartless that appear and then go save your game. Now, head to the Graveyard. CUTSCENE Then, head into the room where you talked to the mayor. To the right of the big pumpkin that exploded, there is a door, go through it. In this room there are alot of Heartless so be quick to destroy them. Go to the middle of the curly hill and EXAMINE the tombstone there. CUTSCENE More Heartless in this room. Before you go ahead, finish them off, then cross the bridge to Oogie's Manor. CUTSCENE Follow that bathtub! After you cross the bridge and get up to the big doors, EXAMINE it to make it open. Okay, I know I have a section for this, but there is a Red Trinity mark inside the doors. Hopefully, you took my advice and didn't switch someone out for Jack. This Red Trinity is TEMPORARY, meaning after a certain point in this level, it's gone. So, you better get it. See that little iron platform? Target it and cast Fira on it. When it comes back down, hop on it and ride it up and when it stops for a second, jump up and grab the platform. Becareful, if you fall, you'll have to ride the bathtub back up. (The tub is walking around the very bottom of the area now, but it's occupants are gone.) So, don't do any big combos because you'll probably fall off it. When you get to the big stairs, jump up them and go right. When you get to the very top, you'll see a tower and a door. Go through the door. CUTSCENE BOSS FIGHT: Lock, Shock and Barrel HP: Lock: 150 HP, Shock: 120 HP, Barrel: 180 HP. EXP GAINED: The XP gained varies on the order they are defeated. So, this is how it goes. Barrel: First/Second defeated: 24 XP Last defeated: 240 XP Lock: First/Second defeated: 18 XP Last defeated: 180 XP Shock: First/Second defeated: 12 XP Last defeated: 120 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: None. Just target whichever and hit them. Tell Donald and Goofy to focus on a different one. Use Cure if they hurt you enough, but they are very weak Bosses. They only have basic strike attacks, but they run around constantly and one of them even jumps around. The only thing you have to worry about is their height. They are so short that some, if not most, of your combos will end up going right over their heads. After you beat them, save your game and then strike the lever by Lock. Now, head outside the playroom. Head back to the bridge you started Oogie's Manor on. Go to the door that you went through before. (The one with the Red Trinity nearby.) Don't go in this door. Turn around and face the bridge. To your right, ou should see a cage and a platform. Jump over to the LEFT of the platform, not on it. Now, walk around this path of rocks and should see a green door. Make sure you're equipped and healed and go through it. CUTSCENE BOSS FIGHT: Oogie Boogie HP: 450 HP EXP GAINED: 2500 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: Holy Circlet, Ansem's Report 7. After a not-so-dramatic cutscene, you'll be thrown into Oogie's Torture Roulette. If he throws dice in at you, strike them back at him. he spawns Heartless every now and then, so finish those off when they come. When he starts walking around the circle and the button lights are on.--The buttons are the things on the inside of the roulette--step on the button the lines up with him. Cage bars appear and it will elevate you to his level so you can get in a couple of combos before he can hit you back down. Oogie also hits buttons and starts some torture devices, like blades that come down from the ceiling and guns. If it's the blades, jump over roll underneath them, if it's guns, stand in the corner and hope you don't get hit. Genie is a good summon to use in this fight because of his SHOWTIME attack and so does Simba because CHARGE-UP and PROUD ROAR attack everywhere on the screen. But, the others are pretty useless. When he's almost dead, he'll start to make the roulette spin in the opposite direction of the way he's walking. CUTSCENE BOSS FIGHT: Oogie's Manor HP: 40 HP per orb. EXP GAINED: 2500 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: Magic Spell Gravira, PumpkinHead. Okay there are some black orbs around the house that need to be taken out. Watch out because fire is spraying everywhere and Heartless appear constantly. Starting from the front of Oogie, go to the left a little and behind a group of pumpkins is a platform (it kinda looks like stairs) you should jump up to. Jump to the tin above the stairs and then to the thing to your right. There is a cloth thing to the left now, jump up and go around it. To the left of the split in the path is an orb, turn around and go right this time. There is another orb here. Destroy it, hop over the metal thing, and above a yellow outcropping is another orb. Be really quick and run across the next planks. Why do you have to be fast? Because they tilt to make you fall off. Hop up to the next platform for another orb. Jump off Oogie and stand in front of him again. Jump on his right foot and up to the next platform. Jump up these platform to the next orb.Then, you'll see an outcropping behind the orb you just destroyed. Do a crooked jump INTO the outcropping. And then, jump on top of the outcropping. Jump to the otherside of it and destroy the orb. Jump off of Oogie and then go around behind his right side. There is a log thingy that you can jump onto and go around. Jump over to the wooden thing, and this is the last orb. CUTSCENE Another keyhole sealed, at last! Equip PumpkinHead and then go back to Guillotine Gate and save your game, then board your Gummi-Ship. Once in your Gummi-Ship, go to Traverse Town to stock up and then head to the world after Halloween Town. 3.14 NEVERLAND My level: 40 Uh-oh! That pirate ship is going to catch you! CUTSCENE CUTSCENE CUTSCENE Like I said the last couple times, don't bother switching out, unless it's for stealing his items. But, if you're golng to swap someone out, let Donald warm the bench this time. After that's done with, save your game. Now, head to the door Tinker Bell unlocked. There will be two new types of Heartless, Pirates and Shadow Sora. Defeat them, and then head up the ladder to the next level and go through the door on the right. Now, defeat the Heartless in here and then jump down the hole. Another batch of Heartless and this time it's a big group. Finish them off, and then head up the ladder that is in the corner of the room. CUTSCENE CUTSCENE CUTSCENE When those end, don't go through the door, instead, head to the opposite side of the room and jump up on the shelf. You should see two holes in the netting that you can jump through. Jump through the one on the right to get to a save point. Then, go back down and go through the other hole. You should now be in a room with 3 doors. Go to the center of the room. CUTSCENE But, the only door that you can open is the one that leads to the save point. Go back to the save point and if you switched party members, get back Donald or Goofy so you have both of them. Now, use the green Trinity that is next to the save point. Now, climb up the ladder. CUTSCENE BOSS FIGHT: Shadow Sora HP: 750 HP EXP GAINED: 2000 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: Raven's Claw. Okay this fight is tougher than a normal Shadow Sora. When Shadow Sora splits into a bunch of Shadow Soras, you will know which one is real because of the lifebar size. (Let's hope you have Scan equipped.) Just hit the real one once and the fake ones will disappear. Shadow Sora likes to flatten against the ground like a normal Shadow and come up behind you, just Dodge Roll away when it flattens. When it flattens, you will lose your Lock On, so that's a good sign to Dodge Roll. Shadow Sora's normal attack is YOUR 3 hit combo. So, just use Guard or attack at the same time and you should deflect it. Just use physical attacks on Shadow Sora for two reasons. 1. Magic does not do alot of damage to him and 2. Shadow Sora does alot of damage and you will need to Cure yourself alot. If you want, you can use a special attack like Strike Raid or Sonic Blade to deal a big chunk of damage at one time. CUTSCENE Now, EXAMINE the trapdoor in front of the door that was behind Riku in the cutscene. Jump down the trapdoor. CUTSCENE Save your game. Looks like that the trapdoor is a little to high up to jump to, looks like you gotta take the door. Remember this room? Head back up to the room you fought Shadow Sora in. For those that are having trouble, use these directions. Exit the room that you jumped into from the trapdoor. On the right side of this room is another door, go through it and up the ladder. Once you're back in the room you fought Shadow Sora in, take the door that was behind Riku in the cutscene. CUTSCENE It's best to switch Donald out for Peter Pan now, he's stronger and you have another bossfight coming up. Okay, now you can fly! Use it during this fight because there are alot of Heartless and alot of them are flying Heartless. Now, finish all the Heartless off. CUTSCENE BOSS FIGHT: Captain Hook HP: 900 HP EXP GAINED: 3400 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: Ability Ars Arcanum, Ansem's Report 9, Navi-G Piece, Summon Spell Tinkerbell, Fairy Harp, Shared Ability Glide. Let Peter Pan and Goofy handle the Heartless ships, you focus on Captain Hook. But, if they don't listen (which they don't sometimes) make sure you destroy the ships. It will make the fight easier and you get alot of XP and Munnies for them. Don't worry about falling off the boat, if you hit the water, Fly automatically starts. Again, save your magic for using Cura. (You got Cura in thee cutscene with Peter Pan, remember?) No summons work really well in this fight. If you want, you can use Stop magic on Hook to freeze him, but it only lasts for 2 seconds, if even. Your best bet for hurting Hook is using normal combos or a special attack. All Hook can do is summon pirate ship Heartless and strike with his sword, so just use Guard. CUTSCENE CUTSCENE CUTSCENE One of the clocks is off by 3 hours on Big Ben. Nothing a few strikes from your Keyblade won't fix! Target the hand on the clock that is off and hit it 3 times. CUTSCENE CUTSCENE CUTSCENE CUTSCENE After all of that, equip the Fairy Harp, Glide, and rearrange your abilties so you can equip ARS ARCANUM. This is my favorite special attack in the whole game, so I'll be using it alot and trust me, it helps alot. Fly to the top of Big Ben and use the save point to return to your Gummi-Ship. Well, another tournament is going on and you NEED to go to Traverse Town this time. 3.15 TRAVERSE TOWN PART 5 My level: 41 Okay first off, go talk to Cid. CUTSCENE After that, buy anything you need in town, synth some stuff and level up if you want to. Now, board your Gummi-Ship. When you get into your Gummi-Ship, Donald and Goofy talk about Goofy to past worlds and collecting new stuff because you have all those new abilities you didn't have before. The choice is up to you, but Goofy does have a point. You get new items, and you can level up a little bit. But, one thing you HAVE to do is seal the Keyhole at Olympus Coliseum, and to do that, you're going to have to compete in the Hercules Cup. I'm going to help you seal Olympus Coliseum's Keyhole, so head there first. 3.16 OLYMPUS COLISEUM PART 2 My level: 42 Make sure you have enough items equipped and then talk to Phil and choose Hercules Cup. HERCULES CUP--9 Seeds NOTE: Throughout this tournament, do not use magic unless it is to heal yourself, and even then, try to let Donald heal you or use an item to heal yourself because you will need the MP later on. Or, carry alot of Ethers. 9th Seed DUSK VANGUARD Gargoyle x 5 Shadow x 3 Just attack these guys like you normally would. Save your magic, only use physical attacks. 8th Seed MINIONS OF HORROR Wight Knight x 4 Air Pirate x 1 Barrel Spider x 2 Go after the barrel first or else it will explode into your back and hurt you bad. Then go for the Air Pirate, then clean up the Knights. 7th Seed BUCCANEERS Battleship x 1 Pirate x 4 Go after the battleship first, then go after the Pirates. 6th Seed STRAY PHANTOM Gargoyle x 4 Wight Knight x 3 Go after the Gargoyle's first because they spit orbs that lock onto you and even if they miss, they bounce around the arena. After you get them, finish the Knights. 5th Seed MAD TRUFFLE Rare Truffle x 1 Not really a fight, the Rare Truffle is like a White Mushroom, except he likes being in the air, so hit him upwards with your keyblade, or just hit him while he's on the ground to end this, you won't get his cool items here in the Coliseum anyways. 4th Seed CLOUD Cloud BOSS FIGHT: Cloud HP: 450 HP EXP GAINED: 500 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: Metal Chocobo. First of all, you HAVE to win the fight this time. Again, don't use magic and hopefully you did equip Ars Arcanum when I told you to or else you're going to have trouble. Save your potions for later if you can, let Donald heal you, hopefully he has MP left or Goofy gives him some MP with MP Gift. When Cloud leaps up and then impales the ground, don't Dodge Roll, instead use ARS ARCANUM. Cloud also likes to stab forwards while sliding, and then doing a 3 hit combo. Just Dodge Roll out of the way, then come up behind him and let loose with a combo or Guard against it and then attack him while he's recovering. If you jump at Cloud to hit him from the air, he'll most likely jump back to avoid and possibly counterattack with that slide/stab thing or the impale the ground thing. When Cloud swings, use Guard to deflect his attack, this causes him to stop and you can get a good combo in on him then. After you do alot of damage to him, Cloud uses a new attack. He powers up and then flys around the arena, swinging at you and he's near invincible the whole time, not even Arcanum can hurt him now. Just Dodge Roll or Guard until he powers down, and then it's back to normal. 3rd Seed DARK SQUADRON Wight Knight x 1 Gargoyle x 2 Pirate x 2 Air Pirate x 2 Here's the order to attack them in. Air Pirate, Gargoyle, Wight Knight, Pirate. 2nd Seed FLYING PIRATES Battleship x 2 Pirate x 2 Air Pirate x 1 Attack the Battleship first, then the Air Pirate, then the Pirates. 1st Seed HERCULES Hercules BOSS FIGHT: Hercules HP: 450 HP EXP GAINED: 700 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: Herc's Shield, Yellow Trinity, Olympia. Whenever Hercules is glowing, he is invincible. To stop him glowing, LIFT a barrel and THROW it at him. Sometimes, this even stuns him leaving him open for ARS ARCANUM or a normal combo. Use potions to cure yourself if possible, because you need the MP for Arcanum. When Herc tries to headbutt you, Guard him and when he's holding his head in pain, let loose with Arcanum or a combo. When he starts spinning around with sword in hand, Glide, Dodge Roll or Guard to prevent being hit. If he jumps up, Dodge Roll because he's going to punch the ground and the shockwave hurts. When he glows and a ring appears around him, Dodge Roll because he's about to cast an explosion. CUTSCENE Now, use the Yellow Trinity in the Coliseum. CUTSCENE Another Keyhole sealed, and some items gained, now it's time to head to Hollow Bastion, save and then board your Gummi-Ship. 3.17 HOLLOW BASTION PART 1 My level: 43 CUTSCENE Jump up each of the ice platforms to get to the top. (Duh.) Get ready for some drama and plot twists. CUTSCENE Wow.....feel like hurting someone? Don't worry, you'll get your chance. Now that you're without your Keyblade, all you have is the Wooden Sword. You can still hurt the Heartless, but it doesn't do a whole lot. Go back down and save your game, then make your way back up. When you get to the Castle Gates, the castle door is locked, so take the stairs that are on the right side a few steps past where you entered the area. Once you get down this way, EXAMINE the red flashing post and then the post that isn't flashing. Now, you're down in the basement. Don't even bother fighting the Heartless, you won't win and you'll only run out of MP which you'll need to cure yourself when you get hit when you run from them. If Beast defeats something, be sure to pick up the HP balls. If you look around there are 2 bubbles floating in this room. Take the one that is closer to the ground. Another save point and a wall that Beast can break through if you CALL. Go through the broken wall and then to the left is another bubble, take it. Once you're in the new room, there is an opening a few steps down the hall. Before the opening on the left is another wall Beast can break through if you CALL, but there is nothing you can do in here right now, so go back to the opening. Right here is a little puzzle you have to figure out. There are four switches you have to hit in order to get out of the room. The only trouble is, some of them are behind closed doors. Luckily, the switches activate those doors, here's the order to hit them in. The switch on the wall after the opening you just came through, RELEASE it. The switch on the fence by the door that just opened. The switch in the area you just opened. The switch in the new area you just opened. Now, take the bubble to the next area. RELEASE the switch in the new area you're in. Let Beast take care of the Heartless in here and then go RELEASE the switch that is on the rightside of the wall, near where the Heartless appeared. That opened the main door to the castle, so head back there and go through the door. Be sure to save in the one room on the way back. Now, go through the castle doors. CUTSCENE CUTSCENE BOSS FIGHT: Riku HP: 525 HP EXP GAINED: 2000 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: White Trinity. Okay! You got your keyblade back and are ready to take on Riku. Donald and Goofy have rejoined you too, so this battle will be a little easier. First off, cast Aero on yourself and if it ever runs out, cast it again. Don't use any summons (except Tinker Bell, I get to that one later.) and don't use any magic, Riku is magic proof. Use ARCANUM whenever you get close enough to Riku. Whenever Riku swings at you, use Guard to block him, this will also set him back for a few seconds and let you get a combo or ARCANUM in on him. Riku is incredibly fast, and if you have him locked on, get ready for a bumpy ride because the camera will follow his every move. Use potions to cure yourself, if you have them or let Donald do it for you. If you're really in need of health, or even down a little, there are vases on tables on first level of this room, go over to them and hit them once with your keyblade and they'll break, dropping HP balls, and sometimes MP balls. If you're really worried about dying, cast Tinker Bell at the beginning of the fight, she heals you constantly throughout the battle and if you die, she revives you once. The only thing is, when you have summon out, you can't do a special move like Ars Arcanum. When Riku jumps around, jump at him or Glide to him and intercept him with an aerial combo. Just keep repeating all of this and you should finish without any effort. CUTSCENE Now, you could put Beast in you party, and if you're going to, switch out Donald, but I don't recommend doing this, Beast may be stronger, but he has barely any MP and is pretty much useless, unless you're breaking the walls that Beast can break. Now, head up the stairs and go through the door at the top of the stairs, not the door on the left. EXAMINE the door. Hmm...time to find those pieces that go in the sockets. Go through the door that I told you not to go in before. Now you're in the Library, but you can't make your way through the shelves! This just isn't Sora's day...pick up the book on the floor in the left corner of the room. Now, put this book in the empty spot on the shelf near this book. To replace the book EXAMINE the shelf. Run up the stairs and on the table is another book and nearby the table is a save point and a Green Trinity. Use the Trinity to get another book. TAKE the book off of the farthest bookcase on the second floor. Then, EXAMINE the bookcase you just used TAKE on and you'll replace the book with the proper one. PUSH the button that appears. Behind the save point is a section of bookcases that is blocked off from the 1st floor, jump into it. Turn around and go into the darkened section. On the right side there is another set of books. TAKE the blue book. EXAMINE the same shelf, but not the slot where you got the blue book from, EXAMINE the second slot and put the book there. to put replace the book. But, one's still missing...we'll find it soon. Go all the way down the darkened section. EXAMINE the last shelf with the blue books to fill the empty space. Now, you get back out to the main part of the first floor. Go back to the first bookcase of this room and fill in the empty hole, you have the book now. Go around the bookcases and when you can take the stairs, take a left instead of the stairs and go all the way down this straight path and pick up the yellow book at the end of the path. Run upstairs and put this book on the 3rd bookcase of the left. TAKE the green book that is on the shelf that appears. Go back down and put this book in the bookcase that was missing 2 books. Grab the purple book that is on the desk that appears, then go upstairs and replace it in the empty space you took the last green book from. Now, save your game. Now, don't go through the opening where the bookcase was, instead go through the double doors that you unlocked when you pushed the big button. At first, take a left and when the first inset in the path appears, EXAMINE the stone. Hmm...maybe you should use Thundara on it. Now, there are 8 candles around the pathway, light them with Fira. You should see a small pillar with a pigs head type thing on it. EXAMINE it. You can't move it right, but you can move it left. Another pillar has a deer's head on it. Use the Red Trinity in front of it. Another pig head pillar wants you to smash the 2 vases on it's left and right. Now, go collect everything that has appeared. After you've got them all, head back to the door you EXAMINED before. EXAMINE until all the pieces are restored. CUTSCENE Now, head to the Library and save your game. But, watch out, there are Heartless now. Head back down and go through the door you opened with the emblem pieces. When you get through the door, don't EXAMINE either switch here, instead go through the door at the end of this short path. Becareful fighting the Heartless here outside, if you fall, it's a long trip back up. EXAMINE the second switch from the stairs first, then EXAMINE the other switch. Go up these stairs once you get off of the elevator and then take the big elevator by using EXAMINE on the switch. During this ride, the elevator stops sometimes and Heartless will appear. Defeat them to get a switch to appear. EXAMINE the switch to continue. Don't worry, you can't fall off the elevator. Once you're off the elevator, go up the stairs, left, down the stairs and through the doorway. EXAMINE the switch to get on this new elevator, when get to the top, go through the next door. Go to the right and EXAMINE this switch. Another group of Heartless appear up here, becareful when doing aerial combos, you don't want to fall off. Off to your left is another switch, EXAMINE it. Now, go through the door across from the elevator you got off of. Fight the Heartless in this room and then go through the next door. EXAMINE the switch in front of the door you just came through. Jump up those platforms now. Another switch is at the top, but Heartless appear when you near it, so destroy them without falling off and then EXAMINE it. Keep going around this curve by the pedistal and go through the door. In the new room, defeat the Heartless, make sure you're fully healed, HP and MP, and then go through the next door. CUTSCENE Ooh, the head honcho's coming to see ya! Head straight up into the Chapel yard. MAKE SURE THAT YOUR ARE HEALED AND EQUIPPED. CUTSCENE BOSS FIGHT: Maleficent HP: 900 HP EXP GAINED: 6000 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: Donald learns Ability Cheer, Ansem's Report 5. To start out with, ignore the Heartless she spawns, she'll only respawn them seconds later. Second, cast Tinker Bell at the beginning of the fight. You may not be able to use special attacks, but this is better in the long run. Maleficent is pretty much invincible, unless the rock she's riding on is shut down for a few seconds. Just target the platform she rides on and take it out with 1 of the 2 options. 1. Attack it till it comes crashing to the ground, or 2. you can cast Gravira on it and it will fall in one spell cast. After it's down on the ground, target Maleficent and hit her hard while you can. Stop works on her, so when she's grounded, use that for a few extra seconds. Also, cast Aero on yourself. When she shouts, "Meteors of heaven, release my fury!" Run and hide around the corner because those things hurt alot. They took out 1/10 of my life bar with Aero cast on me. Sometimes she'll cast Purple Thunder. When this happens, 3 purple rings appear of the ground, just be sure you aren't standing on one. When her and her platform fall and you get up to attack her, she uses her staff to hit you, so just Guard it. After you deal enough damage to her, she and her platform seperate and she flys around and then lands on her platform, you can't hurt her while she's flying and she can't hurt you, so this is a good time to heal if you need it. If want, dismiss Tinkerbell and attack Maleficent with ARCANUM. CUTSCENE Okay, there is a save point now in this room. Make sure you're equipped again and then save your game. Wow, Maleficent left the portal open for you, go through it! CUTSCENE BOSS FIGHT: Maleficent Dragon HP: 1200 HP EXP GAINED: 6000 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: Summon Gem Fireglow. Cast Aero the first second of the fight and then summon Tinkerbell. Maleficent smashes the ground and creates shockwaves, so just Glide till she stops. She will also spin around and tail slap you. When she breathes fire, Glide onto her back and wait it out. Also, if you need a spot to heal, the best spot to do this is on her back. The only way to do alot of damage is getting right in her face and letting combos loose for as long as you can, then running to her back and healing, or you can dismiss Tinkerbell and you ARCANUM. Be careful when you're in her face because you're right there where the fire comes from and she can claw swipe you. After a while, Maleficent will shoot fire that follows you and hits you, just Guard against it and it will fly back at her and damage her. This is a good technique to do because you get 119 TechPoints if you block the fire. If there ever is a line of fire on the ground, it acts like a wall that you cannot go through, sometimes this will block you up against a wall, just heal, have Aero cast and hope it fades quickly or try to Glide over it, depending on how high the fire is, you might not be able to Glide over it. When she's almost dead, she sprays fire in every direction, just Dodge Roll and jump around it, or Glide onto her back and then just be sure you have Aero cast, you're healed and then stay in front of her and wail on her till she drops. CUTSCENE Head back to the Chapel to save. After you've done that equip some potions and some ethers, then go through the door that has appeared by the save point. Fight the Heartless in this new room and then go through the other door. Head up the stairs once you're in the Grand Hall. CUTSCENE BOSS FIGHT: Riku HP: 900 HP EXP GAINED: 8500 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: Sora learns Ability Ragnarok. First a question. Are you good using Guard? If so, before you do any damage to Riku, just let him attack you and just Guard the attacks. You can do this forever and he'll never change his attack pattern. Cast Aero right away and remember, your summons are disabled during this fight. Use ARCANUM for as long as your MP lasts, and use your Potions to heal, not Cura if you can prevent it. Riku has the same attack that Cloud did, remember the leap/stab the ground thing? Just Dodge Roll or jump to avoid it. Whenever Riku uses a normal slash or stab, use Guard. Unfortunetly, Riku isn't stunned by the block and will continue like normal. When Riku turns blurry and starts attacking like crazy, use Guard constantly and don't attack. When he shoots the blade projectiles, Guard again. When Riku says, "Open your heart to Darkness." He'll glow and start to teleport around the room. Just Glide during this part, healing when you take damage--and you will--and when he does the final part of this attack, just be sure you're not standing where the pillar of energy is errupting from. CUTSCENE CUTSCENE CUTSCENE Okay, now you're playing as a Shadow. Your objective right now is to find Kairi, Donald and Goofy. Exit the Grand Hall. You don't have to worry about fighting or getting hurt while playing at the Shadow, nothing happens. When you get to the Lift Stop (right outside the Grand Hall) jump down a floor and take the door that is underneath the door you entered this room from. Just jump off the balcony here, you can't use the elevator. Now you'll have appeared on a platform, jump off this one too. You should land on or near some stairs, if not, just jump off of whatever you're on and fall down to the next level. But, if you did land on the stairs, go up them and then down the next set of stairs on the right and jump off here. You should land on a platform by the main door to the castle, but, the platform isn't directly connected to the main entrance. To get inside the castle, go down the nearby stairs and through the door on the left. You will end up in the Lift Stop, go through the door at the end of the path and you should end up at the Main Hall. Uh-oh, Donald thinks he can take care of you, and guess what, he probably could, seeing as how you can't attack! Just run up to Kairi, Goofy and Donald. CUTSCENE NOTE: You are automatically transported to Traverse Town now. 3.18 TRAVERSE TOWN PART 6 My level: 49 CUTSCENE Talk to everyone in this room. After you're done talking, head to the First District. Becareful! All the Heartless in all the worlds now are extremely strong, even stronger than the Heartless in Hollow Bastion! Once you're in the First District, go and talk to Cid. Now, go to the Secret Waterway. Remember where you talked to Leon earlier in the game? Go there. Go down to the end of the hall and take the left turn to get the Gummi. CUTSCENE Head back towards Kairi. CUTSCENE Equip the Oathkeeper, it's probably the best Keyblade you have right now. Now, head back and give Cid the Navi-G. Be sure to check out the Accessory Shop, Item Shop and Synthesis Shop and equip yourselves. After you're done with all of that, board your Gummi-Ship and head back to Hollow Bastion using the new Warp Hole that is inbetween Traverse Town and Olympus Coliseum. A quick note, now you can face some of the optional bosses like Kurt Zisa in Agrabah and The Phantom in Neverland. 3.19 HOLLOW BASTION PART 2 My level: 50 Okay, unfortunetly, you can't go directly to the Castle Chapel, too bad huh? That means disembark to Rising Falls. Head up the platforms again and then go to the gate that brings the elevator down. Head through the main castle doors, but finish the Heartless first. Once you're inside the castle, go in the library and save. After you save, walk over by one of the bookcases and a cutscene should start. CUTSCENE Talk to Belle again to receive a Keychain. I suggest using Divine Rose, although the Oathkeeper is still a good Keyblade, so using either is okay. Now, go back to the Entrance Hall and fight through the Heartless to get to the Lift Stop that you opened up your first time here when you collected the emblem pieces. When you get into the Lift Stop, go through the door at the end of the path, don't get on an elevator. When you get out, Heartless will attack, preventing you from using EXAMINE on the switch for the elevator and that means you have to fight them. Be careful so you don't go over an edge while fighting because the Heartless will respawn on the way back. When you get off the elevator, take the next elevator, you don't have to worry about Heartless here. When you get on the elevator, it willstop halfway there and Heartless will attack. Just kill them, and then EXAMINE the switch that appears in the center of the elevator to continue. Go up the stairs, to the left and then down those stairs and through the door, there are no Heartless right here. EXAMINE the switch to get on the elevator. Now, head through the door by the elevator and you're back outside. To the right of the door is another switch, EXAMINE it. When you get off the elevator, Heartless appear, defeat them and then EXAMINE the switch that is over in the dead end on the left. Now, go back to where you got off the elevator and go through the nearby door. Go around this path and through the door on the otherside. When you get outside again, 2 waves of Heartless attack, just attack and heal then jump up the platforms and go around the path to the left and through the door. When you're in this portion of the Lift Stop, more Heartless appear, defeat them and then continue on through the other door. Now, you're back in the Castle Chapel. Save your game and talk to all the Princesses of Heart. Now, go through the door that is by the save point and return to the Grand Hall. When you get to the center of the first floor of the Grand Hall, Heartless attack, finish them off and try extra hard to not take any severe damage. Walk up to the next floor and more Heartless will attack. Finish off these ones as well and then Heartless appear on the stairwells too, so be careful. If you have taken damage, or you're short on MP afterwards or both, use a Cottage. In this room, on top of the archway you walked under to get to the second group of Heartless that attack is a Keychain in a treasure chest. This is Sora's second most powerful Keyblade, Oblivion. Jump up onto on of the side paths and walk up to it. You may not want to equip it though, because it reduces Max MP by 1. But, I love the Oblivion and I always use it. There are also other chests throughout the second half of this room that contain a set of Dalmations and a Flare-G. When you get to the part of the room where you fought Riku last, 3 waves of Heartless attack. After all that is done, I suggest returning to the Chapel to save one last time. Whatever you choose to do, head up to the Keyhole now. Jump up into the Dark Depths. (The Keyhole.) CUTSCENE BOSS FIGHT: Behemoth HP: 1350 HP EXP GAINED: 16000 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: Omega Arts, Magic Spell Firaga. This fight looks hard, but, it's very simple once you know the trick. First off, you probably won't need to use special attacks like Strike Raid or Ars Arcanum, so cast Tinker Bell. The only vunerable part on Behemoth's body is his horn. So, jump up on his back and then attack his horn from the safety of his back. The only thing you have to worry about is when he jumps, because you'll probably fall off. If you're on the ground, watch out for his jumps, bodyslams and slamming his feet on the ground. Watch out when he casts a Thunder type attack, because it might hit you even if you're on his back. When he charges energy between his horns, he's about to cast a homing energy orb attack, but don't worry there aren't that many. So, when he does taht, just Guard them or hit them. If you fall off his back or get tossed off, immediately go into Glide and fly to a safe spot, then go back up. Behemoth is magic proof, more or less, so don't bother using magic or summoning anyone except Tinker Bell. CUTSCENE CUTSCENE CUTSCENE When you appear in the Chapel, save your game and then head to the Library for a few gifts. Leon, Aerith and Yuffie are here. Talk to all of them to get the few Ansem's Reports you're missing, Magic Spell Curaga (You have to talk to Aerith 3 times total to get Curaga.) Once you're done, save your game and then board your Gummi-Ship. Hear what Chip and Dale said? There is another tournament being held. Better go and see it! After that, head to Traverse Town, buy some stuff, Synth some stuff, and then level up, because you are going to need it! You should try fighting the optionial bosses. The Ice Titan and Sephiroth are now available, but don't even think about facing Sephiroth, because you will die pitifully. Also, at this time you should go back (MEANING YOU HAVE TO, THE NEXT WORLD IS THE LAST.) to all the worlds and collect anything you missed, Dalmations and Trinities. 3.20 END OF THE WORLD My level: 64 Save your game and go through the doorway in front of you. CUTSCENE In this area you have to walk from platform to platform, sounds easy huh? But, then you also have to deal with random encounters and the invisible walls. But, it is easy because every platform is an arrow pointing to the next platform you have to go to, so just follow the arrows. On some of the platforms there are chests. When you open some of them, you have to fight Heartless, but still, there are good things in these chests like Power Ups, so tough out the battles to get these items. On the fourth platform there is a red chest. Be warned inside is a Behemoth fight, and you don't have to fight it. BOSS FIGHT: Behemoth (Optional.) HP: 1050 HP EXP GAINED: 450 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: A bunch of munny orbs, MP orbs, I got a Mythril Shard (I don't think it's the same everytime.), Omega Arts. This fight is easier than the fight in Hollow Bastion, and everything is the same, so please excuse my cut and paste...hehe. This fight looks hard, but, it's very simple once you know the trick. First off, you probably won't need to use special attacks like Strike Raid or Ars Arcanum, so cast Tinker Bell. The only vunerable part on Behemoth's body is his horn. So, jump up on his back and then attack his horn from the safety of his back. The only thing you have to worry about is when he jumps, because you'll probably fall off. If you're on the ground, watch out for his jumps, bodyslams and slamming his feet on the ground. Watch out when he casts a Thunder type attack, because it might hit you even if you're on his back. When he charges energy between his horns, he's about to cast a homing energy orb attack, but don't worry there aren't that many. So, when he does taht, just Guard them or hit them. If you fall off his back or get tossed off, immediately go into Glide and fly to a safe spot, then go back up. Behemoth is magic proof, more or less, so don't bother using magic or summoning anyone except Tinker Bell. If you did the battle, congrats, if you didn't, shame on you. Continue on to the next platform. On the second platform from the Behemoth fight, you can see another platform far off to the left. If you head towards it, you should run into an invisible wall, move to the left a little bit and continue forward. Repeat this as needed and you should end up at the chest. When you get to the last platform head into the giant swarm of energy that is floating around. This time, you can't run. BOSS FIGHT: Behemoth HP: 1050 HP EXP GAINED: 450 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: Munny, MP, and HP balls. I also got some Mythril and Orichalcum. This fight is easier than the fight in Hollow Bastion, and everything is the same, so please excuse my cut and paste...hehe. This fight looks hard, but, it's very simple once you know the trick. First off, you probably won't need to use special attacks like Strike Raid or Ars Arcanum, so cast Tinker Bell. The only vunerable part on Behemoth's body is his horn. So, jump up on his back and then attack his horn from the safety of his back. The only thing you have to worry about is when he jumps, because you'll probably fall off.

If you fall off his back or get tossed off, immediately go into Glide and fly to a safe spot, then go back up. Behemoth is magic proof, more or less, so don't bother using magic or summoning anyone except Tinker Bell. After the battle is finished, you appear in an area that looks like it's made from Gummi-Blocks. Just jump off the side of the platform you're on and go down to the bottom. Go over to where a white light is blowing up from the ground and use the nearby save point. Then, jump into the light. In this area you have to walk into each light to get to the next platform. The only light you have to go through though is the blue one. The pink lights in the center of each platform starts battles that don't really do anything much. A neat thing about the battles is that each one takes place in a different world. it goes from Traverse Town all the way up. But, this is a good chance to get some last minute XP and the lights also contain chests. Also, in one of the pink lights is actually a green light and inside it is a save point. This save point is located in the Winnie the Pooh world. You have to go through the fiery orange light and that brings you to a Hollow Bastion look-a-like. Finish off the Heartless in the first corridor, and then go through the door on the left. EXAMINE the console in the middle of the room. Heartless appear after that, finish them off. Exit this room, go into the corridor and then jump back into the red/black thing you came through and then when you're back in the place where you walked into the fiery orange thing, jump into the hole that is now there. CUTSCENE BOSS FIGHT: Chernabog HP: 1500 HP EXP GAINED: 15000 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: Learn Shared Ability Superglide. Okay, since you're flying that means no summons and no special attacks. The first thing you'll want to do is cast Aerora or Aeroga, whichever you have, you might even still be stuck with Aero! Whatever, just Aeroize yourself and then go in and attack. Magic does some damage, but still, physical attacks do so much more. Chernabog spits fire and and sometimes blows you back with a wind attack, just fly back in and continue the attack. Use Curaga whenever you fall below the halfway point. This is a pretty easy fight, except for when he casts an Ultima-type fire attack. When this happens, fly as far away and as low as you can from him. When he does the Ultima thing, homing missles come out and fly at you and since you're in the air, you can't use Guard, so just try and hit them back at him. CUTSCENE After the fight is over, fly down into the opening that Chernabog was occupying. Now, you have a choice, you can fly down through the whole mountain, or you can go through the door that is behind you when you start. Either way, you end up in the same spot in the end. Just walk straight and into the pits of light. Eventually you will end up with a light against a wall. Jump through it. BOSS FIGHT: Behemoth HP: 1050 HP EXP GAINED: 450 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: None. This fight is easier than the fight in Hollow Bastion, and everything is the same, so please excuse my cut and paste...hehe. This fight looks hard, but, it's very simple once you know the trick. First off, you probably won't need to use special attacks like Strike Raid or Ars Arcanum, so cast Tinker Bell. The only vunerable part on Behemoth's body is his horn. So, jump up on his back and then attack his horn from the safety of his back. The only thing you have to worry about is when he jumps, because you'll probably fall off. If you're on the ground, watch out for his jumps, bodyslams and slamming his feet on the ground. Watch out when he casts a Thunder type attack, because it might hit you even if you're on his back.

If you fall off his back or get tossed off, immediately go into Glide and fly to a safe spot, then go back up. Behemoth is magic proof, more or less, so don't bother using magic or summoning anyone except Tinker Bell. After that, a piece falls off the the door and then countless waves Heartless appear. You have to finish them off to continue. As you defeat each wave, another piece of the door will fall off. After all of that, go through the unblocked door and save. Notice the name of the room. "Final Rest." That's right, the next room has the final boss of the game. I'm going to go level up some more, Synth some items and ready myself for the final fight, I suggest you do the same thing. Remember, you can always disembark directly to the Final Rest save point after you leave, just as long as you saved at it. Equip Megalixers and Elixirs on all of you. Once you're ready, go through the door that is inside the final rest area. CUTSCENE When you're back on the island, head to the Secret Place, it's by the base of the big tree, remember? CUTSCENE Run down to Riku. CUTSCENE BOSS FIGHT: Ansem HP: 1500 HP EXP GAINED: 10000 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: None. Whenever you get close enough, use ARCANUM on Ansem. When Ansem's guardian starts throwing projectiles at you, use Guard against them and it'll stun them for about oh...half a second, so Superglide in and let lose with ARCANUM or do a manual combo. When Ansem's guardian lunges at you, Dodge Roll and start running. Why? Because if the guardian grabs you, whenever you move, or attack or do anything, the guardian appears behind YOU and grabs your leg and arm and pulls, ouch. This lasts for a varied amount of time. Also, when you're hexed by the guardian, Ansem will use an energy shield to protect him further. When the guardian floats in front of Ansem, Dodge Roll behind Ansem to attack him, and be free from any damage. Summons don't work too much except for Genie and Tinker Bell. I just suggest using Tink Bell if you're going to use a summon, but I don't even suggest using a summon because you will be using ARCANUM and when you summon, you can't use a special attack. Save your Megalixirs and Elixirs for the next part, just use Cura or Curaga for now. CUTSCENE Heal yourself with a Cottage, replace any items you need to and then go through the opening after Ansem. CUTSCENE BOSS FIGHT: Darkside HP: 900 HP EXP GAINED: 8000 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: None. Been awhile since we've seen this guy, but he hasn't gotten any stronger. He starts the fight by punching the ground and pulling out an orb of energy. Then, he throws the orb into the air and it explodes into little meteor things that rain down. But, when you swing your Keyblade, you destroy most of them. After he does that attack, he does his old normal attack of punching the ground and spawning Shadows. Since leveling up doesn't matter anymore, just focus on beating his hand. When Darkside kneels down, run so you're lined up right in front of him, as far away as possible, he'll start shooting homing missles at you. Guard when they come close and they'll bounce back at him. After you've blocked them, he'll be a little stunned, so run up and finish him off. Remember, summons are disabled since you are fighting solo. If you really want some protection, cast Aero, Aero, or Aeroga, whichever you have. CUTSCENE BOSS FIGHT: Ansem HP: 1200 HP EXP GAINED: 20000 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: None. Whenever you get close enough, use ARCANUM on Ansem. When Ansem's guardian starts throwing projectiles at you, use Guard against them and it'll stun them for about oh...half a second, so Superglide in and let lose with ARCANUM or do a manual combo. When Ansem's guardian lunges at you, Dodge Roll and start running. Why? Because if the guardian grabs you, whenever you move, or attack or do anything, the guardian appears behind YOU and grabs your leg and arm and pulls, ouch. This lasts for a varied amount of time. Also, when you're hexed by the guardian, Ansem will use an energy shield to protect him further. When the guardian floats in front of Ansem, Dodge Roll behind Ansem to attack him, and be free from any damage. When he does the torpedo thing, Guard against it to send him back a little ways, then get in close and attack before he regains control. When Ansem sends his guardian to pop out of the ground, Dodge Roll and Glide around. Sometimes Ansem causes energy pillars and thunder type attacks to happen, when he does, just Dodge Roll them. When the guardian charges power in his hands and then throws it at you, Dodge Roll it. Use Cura or Curaga if you can help it because the next part is harder. CUTSCENE BOSS FIGHT: Ansem (Multiple stages, the Final Battle.) HP: 1500 HP EXP GAINED: None. ITEMS DROPPED/WON: None. Stage 1: Since you're flying and you're solo, no summons. So, right away cast any of the Aero spells you have and then go in and hit him hard. There isn't much I can do to help. Try to stay on the right side of Ansem. (Your right, not his.) One thing you can do is sneak around him and then attack him from the back. When he launches the laser balls, ignore them and focus on Ansem, heal if you take any damage. When he launches the little bat things, target and destroy them for some HP orbs. CUTSCENE Stage 2: You start in a dark room with a lot of Shadows. Destroy them and then target the floating thing that appears. Destroy that thing too. CUTSCENE Stage 3: Fly up and destroy the shooting things by Ansem, then fly through the portal that is in front of him. This room is filled with Darkballs. Destroy them with the help of Goofy, who has just rejoined you. Another floating thing appears, destroy it. CUTSCENE Stage 4: Once you're back outside, destroy that big ugly head that's at the front of the thing Ansem has possessed. BOSS FIGHT: Possessed Head HP: 1200 HP EXP GAINED: 5000 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: None. Just attack it with all you have and cure whenever. It's only attack is casting thunder. CUTSCENE Stage 5: Fly through that opening to rescue Donald. There are a bunch of Invisibles in this room, so be extra, extra careful. Stage 6: When you're back outside, head into the little dome area that just became unshielded. Destroy all the turrets and then destroy the big fleshy thing with the face. CUTSCENE Stage 7: Go back and attack Ansem the same way you did last time. BOSS FIGHT: Ansem: Final Form HP: 1500 HP EXP GAINED: 20000 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: None. Since you're flying no summons or special attacks. So, right away cast any of the Aero spells you have and then go in and hit him hard. There isn't much I can do to help. Try to stay on the right side of Ansem. (Your right, not his.) One thing you can do is sneak around him and then attack him from the back. When he launches the laser balls, ignore them and focus on Ansem, heal if you take any damage. When he launches the little bat things, target and destroy them for some HP orbs. When he raises his weapon and it gets a little darker, he'll try pushing you away from him and he'll be casting little meteor things that you can't avoid easily, just fly towards him and continue attacking.

Run to the next group, if there are any left. if not, jump up to the next group and strike them. Finish off any remaining barrels with Fire, Blizzard, or normal strikes. TRIAL 2 Barrels: 25 Time Limit: 1 Minute First off, run around to the left, strike the barrels, turn around the corner, LIFT the single barrel, target the barrel along this straight part, THROW it at the single barrel, run around the next corner and you're almost at where you started. There is 2 barrels stacked on top of each other and a single barrel. Target the single and rotate the camera around so the you and the single barrel face the stacked barrels. Strike until the barrel flys at the stacked ones. Jump up to the next set, break them with Keyblade hits. Jump up to the next layer and there is a single barrel and 2 stacks of 2. Same plan as before. Finish the remaining barrels with hits. Jump up, another single and 3 stacks of 2. Same plan as the last 2 sets. Finish the next barrel with your Keyblade and then there is one left. It is on a platform in the air that you can't jump to, use fire magic. 10.2 Preliminaries PRELIMINARIES--7 Seeds Match 1: Shadow Scout 4x Soldiers 3x Blue Rhapsodies Use fire against the Blue ones. This is simple stuff right here. CUTSCENE (Yeah, that's right, that's Cloud from FF7!) Match 2: Sinisters 3x Blue Rhapsodies 10x Shadows Fire against the Blue things, you should know how to handle Shadows by now! Match 3: Heat & Freeze 5x Red Nocturne 5x Blue Rhapsodies Fire against the blue things, ice against the red. Make sure you know which type you're locked onto! If you've run out of magic, use normal hits. CUTSCENE Match 4: Shadow Platoon 3x Red Nocturne 3x Blue Rhapsodies 2x Shadows 2x Soldiers Take care of the magic spitters first, then the Soldiers. Finish off the Shadows last. Match 5: Blue Revenge 10x Blue Rhapsodies Normal hits or fire magic. CUTSCENE Match 6: Big One 1x Large Body 4x Red Nocturne 4x Blue Rhapsodies Go after the Large Body first, and then finish the magic spitters off. Dodge Roll (You have it equipped, right?) around to avoid the Tummy Slap of Death thing. Match 7: Final Match BOSS FIGHT: Cloud HP: 300 HP EXP GAINED: 80 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: None. First of all, you don't HAVE to win this fight. This is the same as the fight with Leon, you can lose and still progress. But, for those of you who want to beat Cloud down, here's what to do. Use normal attacks, he seems to be fire proof. Or you can use Blizzard and Thunder, but your MPs won't last long. Save your potions for you. Donald and Goofy (depending on how good you did) should still have some left for themselves and you. You should still have all 3 of yours. When he leaps up and then impales the ground, be sure to Dodge Roll out of the way. Cloud also likes to stab forwards while sliding, and then doing a 3 hit combo. Just Dodge Roll out of the way. If you jump at Cloud to hit him from the air, he'll most likely jump back to avoid and possibly counterattack with that slide/stab thing. If you can, strike at the same time as Cloud so you deflect his attack. This causes him to stop and you can get a good combo in on him. (Combo Plus, you have it equipped, right?) After you do alot of damage to him. He changes his lunge attack. Instead of doing a 3 hit combo after the lunge, he does a 180 turn and then lunges again,180 turn and lunges again. He does the lunge/180 thing 5 times. Just jump over his attacks the first 4 times. The 5th time, however. he slide/lunges and then 180's and jump/stabs the ground. Dodge Roll this one. After you do enough damage, he does the jump/stab ground thing repeatedly. Just keep Dodge Rolling and striking him when he pulls his sword out of the ground and he should be finished quickly. 10.3 Phil Cup PHIL CUP--9 Seeds 9th Seed JUNGLE VICE Powerwild x 5 Soldier x 3 8th Seed MONKEY & MAGIC Powerwild x 1 Green Requiem x 2 Red Nocturne x 2 Yellow Opera x 5 7th Seed BIG FEET Hammerlegs x 1 Powerwild x 4 6th Seed MAGIC ALERT Red Nocturne x 5 Yellow Opera x 5 5th Seed NIGHTWALKERS Large Body x 1 Powerwild x 5 4th Seed HARD HITTERS Gauntlets x 1 Blue Rhapsody x 3 Shadow x 4 3rd Seed INDOMITABLE Large Body x 2 Green Requiem x 6 2nd Seed WILD CORPS Gauntlets x 1 Hammerlegs x 1 Powerwild x 4 1st Seed SHADOW BATTALION Armored Torso x 1 Yellow Opera x 4 Blue Rhapsody x 4 10.4 Pegasus Cup 10.5 Hercules Cup HERCULES CUP--9 Seeds NOTE: Throughout this tournament, do not use magic unless it is to heal yourself, and even then, try to let Donald heal you or use an item to heal yourself because you will need the MP later on. Or, carry alot of Ethers. 9th Seed DUSK VANGUARD Gargoyle x 5 Shadow x 3 8th Seed MINIONS OF HORROR Wight Knight x 4 Air Pirate x 1 Barrel Spider x 2 7th Seed BUCCANEERS Battleship x 1 Pirate x 4 6th Seed STRAY PHANTOM Gargoyle x 4 Wight Knight x 3 5th Seed MAD TRUFFLE Rare Truffle x 1 Use this match to heal yourself...seems that Cloud wants that rematch afterall... 4th Seed CLOUD Cloud BOSS FIGHT: Cloud HP: 450 HP EXP GAINED: 500 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: Metal Chocobo. First of all, you HAVE to win the fight this time. Again, don't use magic and hopefully you did equip Ars Arcanum when I told you to or else you're going to have trouble. Save your potions for later if you can, let Donald heal you, hopefully he has MP left or Goofy gives him some MP with MP Gift. When Cloud leaps up and then impales the ground, don't Dodge Roll, instead use ARS ARCANUM. Cloud also likes to stab forwards while sliding, and then doing a 3 hit combo. Just Dodge Roll out of the way, then come up behind him and let loose with a combo or Guard against it and then attack him while he's recovering. If you jump at Cloud to hit him from the air, he'll most likely jump back to avoid and possibly counterattack with that slide/stab thing or the impale the ground thing. When Cloud swings, use Guard to deflect his attack, this causes him to stop and you can get a good combo in on him then. After you do alot of damage to him, Cloud uses a new attack. He powers up and then flys around the arena, swinging at you and he's near invincible the whole time, not even Arcanum can hurt him now. Just Dodge Roll or Guard until he powers down, and then it's back to normal. 3rd Seed DARK SQUADRON Wight Knight x 1 Gargoyle x 2 Pirate x 2 Air Pirate x 2 2nd Seed FLYING PIRATES Battleship x 2 Pirate x 2 Air Pirate x 1 1st Seed HERCULES Hercules BOSS FIGHT: Hercules HP: 450 HP EXP GAINED: 700 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: Herc's Shield, Yellow Trinity, Olympia. Whenever Hercules is glowing, he is invincible. To stop him glowing, LIFT a barrel and THROW it at him. Sometimes, this even stuns him leaving him open for ARS ARCANUM or a normal combo. Use potions to cure yourself if possible, because you need the MP for Arcanum. When Herc tries to headbutt you, Guard him and when he's holding his head in pain, let loose with Arcanum or a combo. When he starts spinning around with sword in hand, Glide, Dodge Roll or Guard to prevent being hit. If he jumps up, Dodge Roll because he's going to punch the ground and the shockwave hurts. When he glows and a ring appears around him, Dodge Roll because he's about to cast an explosion. 10.6 Hades Cup 10.7 Gold Match GOLD MATCH Ice Titan To beat the Ice Titan, you MUST have Guard equipped. Also, for your Items, be sure to equip half Ethers, half potions. CUTSCENE BOSS FIGHT: Ice Titan HP: 1500 HP EXP GAINED: 5000 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: None. This fight is 100% simple, why? Because you have only a few rules to follow to beat him. 1. Never, ever cast Aeroga. It turns the Ice Titan's icicles into icicles about 4 times your size. 2. Guard against all of icicles that come your way, it's the only way to get the Titan to lower his head so you can attack him. 3. Never walk on the ice, it'll cause you to slip. 4. Go into the stands and never leave unless the Titan lowers his head. Now, whenever ice chunks fall from the sky, just Dodge Roll all over the place. When his head falls, don't use ARCANUM on it, most of the blows will miss his head. When icicles pop out of the ground, just Glide around. After about half of his life bar is gone, he'll do an Ice Beam attack. This attack will turn you into an ice cube. The best way to avoid this by Supergliding away as soon as you see his hands go straight out in front of him. All in all, the Ice Titan is the easiest optional boss. 10.8 Platinum Match PLATINUM MATCH Sephiroth NOTE: Do not go into this battle unless you are at least level 65, and that's if you're good at the game. Also, be sure to have the following abilities and items equipped. Ars Arcanum MP Haste Critical Plus (Every single one.) Second Chance MP Rage (Both.) As for items, equip nothing but ELIXIRS. CUTSCENE BOSS FIGHT: Sephiroth HP: 1800 HP EXP GAINED: 18,000 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: None. NOTE: During this fight, Sephiroth has an attack that's name is hard to make out. Some people say the attack's name is Sin Harvest, but others say it's Send Heartless Angel. Either way, I call it Sin Harvest, and that's what I'll call it when I refer to it during the fight. Right away, cast Aeroga. Whenever it runs out, cast it immediately. In the first part of the fight, Sephiroth only does normal slashes, teleports around, and uses a magic attack that cast 4 pillars of fire around him. The fire attack covers about 1/4 of the arena, so when he does that, Glide/Superglide away or use ARCANUM. (Arcanum makes you invunerable during the attack, so you won't take any damage and since Sephiroth is in the middle of a big attack, he can't teleport away.) Sephiroth jumps around alot, so be sure to have him targetted because if he is behind you and you don't know it, he can cause a whole lot of damage. Sephiroth is at a slight disadvantage from aerial attacks, so jump at him and then let loose with a combo. When Sephiroth's life is down to about, half of his red bar, he'll start jumping more and then when he stops and waves you towards him and says, "Come", he's about to use Sin Harvest. (Send Heartless Angel.) After he taunts you, he'll teleport again and glow a dull pink. At this point you should Superglide at him and attack him as fast as you can. If you failed to attack him in time, you will have a halo around your head and all your MP and all HP except one will be gone. Use an Elixir quick! (NOTE: If you don't have Second Chance equipped, Sin Harvest will KILL you in one hit.) This is the second part of the fight. Now, Sephiroth runs around incredibly fast and teleports almost twice as much. Just attack him with ARCANUM or manual combos like you did before. Try to use your Elixirs only when he's successfully cast Sin Harvest. After his life bar is brought down to his yellow bar, he'll be in his third and final stage. Now, there's good and bad news. The good: He only casts Sin Harvest about 1/6 of the time. The bad: He can turn invincible. He'll start off by using a move that is very much like Omni-Slash. Just press the Guard button EVERY half second to minimize the damage. Then, he'll go to the center of the Arena and step into a black/green thing. This turns him invincible. Then, he'll cast an Ultima type attack. Little blue orbs surround the arena, so stay about almost halfway in. Don't try to attack Sephiroth because he's invincible and those orbs fly towards him. Then, he'll cast Meteor and those will spin around the arena for awhile. Again, just heal and sit this part out. When he stops that, he'll attack from the air with a spinning move, swinging his blade the whole time. Just use ARCANUM so you can meet his attack with the pain on him, instead of you. Whenever he is running around the arena, he's got a trail of orbs behind him, so watch out and don't hit them. When he's got about half a green life bar, he'll actually attack a little less and go back to taunting you. Just keep doing ARCANUM and you'll put him down for the second time. 10.9 Solo Cups Help This section is used to help you through the Solo Cups, excluding Gold Match and the Platinum Match. But, all of the following can be applied to the Hades Cup. Only use your magic to use Cure. Always carry Ethers with you, 1 Ether can heal you 3 times if you use Cure, one potion can only heal you once. Don't be afraid to try and outlast the battle. What's better? Taking a minute to win a battle and have 12 HP left or taking 5 minutes to win a battle and have full HP left. Even though they do alot of damage, special attacks take away valuable MP. So, during bossfights, only use regular attacks and save your MP for healing! 10.10 Timed Cup Help This section is used to help you through the Solo Cups, excluding the Hades Cup. Constantly use your magic when there is a big group of enemies. The best spells to use are the ones with a wide area of effect, spells like Thunder/ra/ga, Blizzard/ra/ga and Gravity/ra/ga. Equip Donald and Goofy with plenty of Ethers, and don't forget to equip your self. During a bossfight, use special attacks as much as you can this way you deal the damage you need quickly. 11. 100 Acre Woods 11.1 Pooh's Hunny Hunt Location on book: The giant tree near the top of the page, left side. First off, you have to talk to Piglet, but whenever you go up to him, he hides in the bush. So, just sneak up on him from behind. After you did this, talk to Pooh. He'll have another one of his Get-Hunny-Quick schemes. -Pooh's Hunny Hunt- Help Pooh get honey by keeping the bees away from his balloon. Lock on to the bees to swat them away more effectively. If you fall to the bottom of the tree, use the RUSH command to jump up quickly, but be warned, sometimes it isn't that effective. When bees appear, just lock on and attack once! If you just attack once, you'll land on the branch that's right underneath Pooh. If you do a combo, you'll miss the branch and go back to the bottom. Try to get the most hunny you can within the time limit! CUTSCENE 11.2 Block Tigger Location on book: Upper left corner of the first page. When you get here, run around to the back of the house. Talk to Pooh. Now, run around to the front and go through the door. Go over to Rabbit and lock on to the pots on the ceiling. EXAMINE them. Leave the house, and try to exit the map. Look's like ya can't just yet. Oh, bother...that silly old bear! Talk to everyone in the room. Exit the house and then go around to the back of the house. Talk to Pooh again there. CUTSCENE -Block Tigger- Beat Tigger to the carrots before he bounces them into the ground! Not much I can do to help here. Just look at the angle Tigger is at and run in the same direction. Be sure you always have the RUSH command ready to be used, and whenever it appears, use it. CUTSCENE Head back into the house now. Go over to Pooh and talk to him. CUTSCENE 11.3 Pooh's Swing Location: Lower right corner of the second page. Quick jump in and save Eeyore! After Eeyore is saved, you have to find his tail. Lock onto Pooh and lead him up to the swing. But, don't get too far ahead of him, or he'll get sidetracked by the hunny jars. -Pooh's Swing- Press [R1] at the right time to send Pooh higher! For distance, just press [R1] as Owl's wings are almost put away. To find Eeyore's tail, press [R1] when his wings are halfway down his body. If you don't find Eeyore's tail on the first try, go back down and talk to Pooh. If you fail again, go down and talk to Pooh. Just keep doing this until the tail is found. 11.4 Tigger Bounce & Tigger's Giant Pot Location on book: Near the Pooh's Swing location. There are stumps of trees and a giant pot. -Tigger Bounce- Watch Tigger's bouncing pattern, then follow his lead! Just remember the path that he takes and take the same one without falling off, simple, right? Whenever you complete a run, you're brought back to the first stump, just talk to Tigger again. You have to do this three times. -Tigger's Giant Pot- Whack the nuts back at the pot to shatter it! Equip your longest Keyblade (Pumpkinhead, Metal Chocobo, Ultima Weapon, Oblivion.) When a nut comes out, jump up and swing at it once, but be sure not to fall off the stump. 11.5 Pooh's Muddy Path Location on book: Lower left corner of the first page. First off, jump down to Pooh. Lock onto Pooh and then lead him around the bush. When you get to a lowered part, EXAMINE it. -Pooh's Muddy Path- Help Pooh find his lost friends! Target him with [R1] to guide guide him. Again, not much help from me. I'll just tell you where everyone is. Tigger: Jumping on the log that stretches across the gap. Piglet: Above the gap where Rabbit is, there is a tree with a hole in the base of it. Lead Pooh over to get him out. Owl: Flying near the tree you found Piglet in. Rabbit: In the three holes that are in the gap below the log Tigger is on. Roo: To the right of where you keep everyone safe till you find them. He's on a root of a tree. Jump up and hit it to get him down. CUTSCENE Aww...another Keyhole sealed. 11.6 Sora's Cheer Ability Complete the Hundred Acre Woods' mini-games with highscores. The scores are as follows. Pooh's Hunny Hunt: At least 100 licks. Block Tigger: At least 150 points. Pooh's Swing: At least 40 yards. Tigger's Giant Pot: Less than 30 seconds. Pooh's Muddy Path: Less than 5 minutes. When you've done all of that, head back to Pooh's house. Owl is on the side of house. Talk to him to get the ability. 12. Optional Bosses 12.1 Kurt Zisa Location: Agrabah How to find him: After beating Hollow Bastion the first time, go back to Agrabah and go to Aladdin's House. The magic carpet will be there, equip lots of potions, but also throw in a few Ethers/Mega-Ethers then, talk to Carpet and ride him. CUTSCENE BOSS FIGHT: Kurt Zisa HP: 1500 HP EXP GAINED: 15,000 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: None. Okay, when this fight first starts, Kurt Zisa blocks ALL of your magic spells, and summons! There are only 2 parts of Kurt Zisa that can be hurt right now: his hands. Tell Donald and Goofy to attack one, while you attack the other one. When one is destroyed, it drops HP balls, so pick them up fast! If you take any damage, Donald and Goofy will most likely cure you with their potions in time. Right now KZ just spins his blades around and jumps about. After both orbs have been destroyed, KZ falls to his knees and his head is open for attack freely! Also, your magic is unlocked, so cast Tinkerbell, fast! After a few moments of being pummeled, KZ gets back up and blankets himself in a protective shield. If you're short on MP and don't want to waste an item, attack the shield with physical attacks and MP balls will fall out. When he's in his shield form, he casts Tornado and releases little orbs that explode. But, you can hit those orbs back at him to damage his shield AND release some MP balls! To make the shield fall, cast magic on it, the magic that I always cast is Fire/ra/ga or Blizzard/ra/ga. When the shield falls, he's back on his knees, ready to be pummeled again. After he's been badly beaten a few times and is back in the original form, he'll start flying around, blades spinning. Just try to Dodge Roll underneath him, that's the most you can do. Keep that up until he hits the sand for the final time. Remember, you cast Tinkerbell, so you can die once and still fight! 12.2 Phantom Location: Neverland How to find him: After beating Hollow Bastion the first time, go back to Neverland and go to the room "Ship: Cabin". Use the save point and replace Goofy with Peter Pan. Equip nothing but Ethers, then go over to the bed in this room. Tinker Bell is by it. Talk to her and say "Yes." when she asks if you want to go to the Clock Tower. CUTSCENE BOSS FIGHT: Phantom HP: 1200 HP EXP GAINED: 14,000 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: Magic Spell Stopga. Note: There are only four ways to damage the Phantom. The Phantom has an orb that changes color, and depending what the color is, you have to attact it accordingly. Red: Fire Magic Blue: Ice Magic Yellow: Thunder Magic White: Physical attacks. I will update this later, so all I can help with for right now is a couple of tips. 1. Constantly cast Stopra on the Clock Tower. 2. Whenever the Phantom flys away near the Clock Tower, fly to the OPPOSITE side of the Tower, this will prevent you from being hurt by his projectile attack. 3. Let your party members restore your MP for you if at all possible, this way if they die, you will have your MP restoring Items left. 4. Always have Aero/ra cast, if possible. 12.3 Ice Titan Location: Olympus Coliseum How to find him: After beating Hollow Bastion the first time, go back to the Coliseum. Beat the Hades Cup (if you haven't already) then, talk to Phil, and when asked what Cup you want to compete in, choose the top ????? option. This is actually the Gold Match against the Ice Titan. Be sure you have half Ethers, half Potions equipped. Also, you MUST have the ability Guard equipped. CUTSCENE BOSS FIGHT: Ice Titan HP: 1500 HP EXP GAINED: 5000 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: None. This fight is 100% simple, why? Because you have only a few rules to follow to beat him. 1. Never, ever cast Aeroga. It turns the Ice Titan's icicles into icicles about 4 times your size. 2. Guard against all of icicles that come your way, it's the only way to get the Titan to lower his head so you can attack him. 3. Never walk on the ice, it'll cause you to slip. 4. Go into the stands and never leave unless the Titan lowers his head. Now, whenever ice chunks fall from the sky, keep Dodge Rolling. When his head falls, don't use ARCANUM on it, most of the blows will miss his head. When icicles pop out of the ground, just Glide around. After about half of his life bar is gone, he'll do an Ice Beam attack. This attack will turn you into an ice cube. The best way to avoid this by Supergliding away as soon as you see his hands go straight out in front of him. All in all, the Ice Titan is the easiest optional boss. CUTSCENE 12.4 Sephiroth Location: Olympus Coliseum How to find him: After beating Hollow Bastion the first time, go back to the Coliseum. Talk to Phil, and when asked what Cup you want to compete in, choose the bottom ????? option. This is actually the Platinum Match against the One-Winged Angel, Sephiroth. NOTE: Do not go into this battle unless you are at least level 65, and that's if you're good at the game. Also, be sure to have the following abilities and items equipped. Ars Arcanum MP Haste Critical Plus (Every single one.) Second Chance MP Rage (Both.) As for items, equip nothing but ELIXIRS. CUTSCENE BOSS FIGHT: Sephiroth HP: 1800 HP EXP GAINED: 18,000 XP ITEMS DROPPED/WON: None. NOTE: During this fight, Sephiroth has an attack that's name is hard to make out. Some people say the attack's name is Sin Harvest, but others say it's Send Heartless Angel. Either way, I call it Sin Harvest, and that's what I'll call it when I refer to it during the fight. Right away, cast Aeroga. Whenever it runs out, cast it immediately. In the first part of the fight, Sephiroth only does normal slashes, teleports around, and uses a magic attack that cast 4 pillars of fire around him. The fire attack covers about 1/4 of the arena, so when he does that, Glide/Superglide away or use ARCANUM. (Arcanum makes you invunerable during the attack, so you won't take any damage and since Sephiroth is in the middle of a big attack, he can't teleport away.) Sephiroth jumps around alot, so be sure to have him targetted because if he is behind you and you don't know it, he can cause a whole lot of damage. Sephiroth is at a slight disadvantage from aerial attacks, so jump at him and then let loose with a combo. When Sephiroth's life is down to about, half of his red bar, he'll start jumping more and then when he stops and waves you towards him and says, "Come", he's about to use Sin Harvest. (Send Heartless Angel.) After he taunts you, he'll teleport again and glow a dull pink. At this point you should Superglide at him and attack him as fast as you can. If you failed to attack him in time, you will have a halo around your head and all your MP and all HP except one will be gone. Use an Elixir quick! (NOTE: If you don't have Second Chance equipped, Sin Harvest will KILL you in one hit.) This is the second part of the fight. Now, Sephiroth runs around incredibly fast and teleports almost twice as much. Just attack him with ARCANUM or manual combos like you did before. Try to use your Elixirs only when he's successfully cast Sin Harvest. After his life bar is brought down to his yellow bar, he'll be in his third and final stage. Now, there's good and bad news. The good: He only casts Sin Harvest about 1/6 of the time. The bad: He can turn invincible. He'll start off by using a move that is very much like Omni-Slash. Just press the Guard button EVERY half second to minimize the damage. Then, he'll go to the center of the Arena and step into a black/green thing. This turns him invincible. Then, he'll cast an Ultima type attack. Little blue orbs surround the arena, so stay about almost halfway in. Don't try to attack Sephiroth because he's invincible and those orbs fly towards him. Then, he'll cast Meteor and those will spin around the arena for awhile. Again, just heal and sit this part out. When he stops that, he'll attack from the air with a spinning move, swinging his blade the whole time. Just use ARCANUM so you can meet his attack with the pain on him, instead of you. Whenever he is running around the arena, he's got a trail of orbs behind him, so watch out and don't hit them. When he's got about half a green life bar, he'll actually attack a little less and go back to taunting you. Just keep doing ARCANUM and you'll put him down for the second time. CUTSCENE Well, that's all for the optional bosses. 13. Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix FAQ/Walkthrough Okay, excited? Final Mix...just imagine how great it would be! Thanks again for your help JillV! NOTE: Some text has been changed from the original text that JillV said I could use. This was just for grammer, or to take up less room. Ok Hong Kong managed to get final mix 1 day early, and I didn't get to buy it, instead my FRIEND bought it and I borrowed it for 1 hour to try it out, Because i'm waiting for the limited edition ok i'll list the differences so far I'm starting at the hardest mode, and the enemies are tough, but thats no news to US people, who have always had the Expert mode. It has the Final Fnatasy X-2 trailer, you can select it form the main menu. FFX-2 is really cool, the trailer shows some FMVs, battle screens, and Yuna and co. have to fight Bahamut!! and in the end you'll see a FMV of Yuna and Tidus!! there isn't much difference at the begginging, the only difference i've seen so far is that when you finish collecting the food for Kairi and you talk to her, you'll see her telling you about making a necklace of thalassa shells. In the japanese version( NOT sure about US) she just talks about how it protects sailors, but in the FINAL MIX version, she shows you what she made so far, it was in fact the same star key chain she gives to Sora, which is a weapon in the game "Oath keeper" as soon as the limited version is out in Hong Kong, i'll post more!! There is no English Text option, there is only Japanese text with English voices. The new "Simple and Clean" song is at the end of the game. There are 3 difficulty levels; Beginner, Normal, and Proud Mode. Beginner is for first timers. Normal is the basic game mode you get in the US version or first Japanese version. Proud Mode is the same as the Expert Mode. If you beat the game on Proud Mode, you get a NEW Special Secret. These are the differences between Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix and Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix Platinum: OK people,I bought the plantimum limted version i'm now in traverse town ready to fight Leon(hopefully, only at lvl 11) I found the difference between NORMAL final Mix and the LIMITED version Aside from the postcard stickers goodies i get, the game cover is different. Limited version: game cover: silverish cover, same picture as the normal Final Mix Pictured on game disc:THe same picture of the USA cover Normal version: game cover: White with coloured characters picture on game disc: Same picture u get if u beat USA KH in Expert mode, the silly picture. For the game? I found 2 more differences 1: Camera angle Now in Final Mix, if u make Sora face a wall and turn the camera around manually, instead of the camera getting confusing and making u dizzy, the game simply make Sora transparent or invisible so that the player can see what's behind Sora, its a nice change to the camera angles that had been driving everyone insane 2: New move Only on lvl 11 nad i found a new move to equip(no idea of the name, cause i don't speak Japanese), this move will execute automatically (equipped that is) when Sora is relatively far away fromt he target. He literally SLIDE to the target and slash one or twice to the target. Very usefull move, it usuallt enables me to kill 5 Heartelss in 1 or 2 slashes very quickly. I'll post more when more new stuff comes out NEW SCENE ALERT !!! NEW SCENE ALERT!!! THis ocurs between Yuffie and Leons introudction scene -------------------------------------- Leon:I went easy on him. Looks like things are worse than we thought. A lot worse. *scene shifts to blackness, we see in someones point of veiw of opening his eye* Riku:Huh...? Where am I? Sora?! Kairi! *We see that is Riku and hes somehow landed in Hollow Bastion, he scans around* *cut to over head shot of Riku, we see someone looking down to him, a certain female Disney villian witch* *Scene shifts back to Aeris scaring Donald.* -------------------------------------------- cool huh? TAKE NOTE!!! Apaarently, it only showed subtitles of Rikus lines. There was no voice at all... weird... i'll post more later!! sorry guys, the trailer is on the same dics In other words, theres only one disc in theis game u select the trailer from the opening menu(New game, load, Special movie) hmmm, u'd thik they're put Rikus new scene in speech bubbles, but no, they're in Subtitles, with Riku mouthing the words like a silent movie.... 1:Well i ran into one of those whatchacallit Black ballards thingys, running into them is completely random, like mushrooms i fu attrempt to hit them,they split into 5 and u have to guess which one is the real one, u have a limted no. of chances, I THINK u have just 5 chances guess and hit the wrong and they're hit u with thunder i think u will get a special item for hitting and killing the right one n but i could n;t kill them the only way is by pure dumb luck, scan won't help much either 2: About Skipping cutscenes I though i've been jipped when someone told me u can skip scenes and i pressed every button trying to skip them, which didn't work until i realize whathe person REALLY meant U can skip scenes as long as u wathc them once before "What? But theres no way u'll wathc a scene twice!" u say, but in some cases, like if u keep dying in a boss fight, and u CONTINUE, NOT LOAD GAME, and u reach the same scene again, the game will give u an option to skip it, choose the 1st option to skip the scene oh and the gummi ship now keeps scores on u trips, and keep count on the number of those items u clooect, or the no. of enemies u killed inthe gummi ship i'm now just killed Clayton, now on y way to Colliseum!! will post more later hmmm slight new change During the scne where Phil says "TWO WORDS! You. Guys. Aint heroes!" and the camera swithces to Sora goofy and donald, Sora has a new shock expression that didnt' appear in the Japanese version In the Japanese version, he has the blank look that he always wears when u control him so i think Square added more new rendered expressions forthe chracaters JANE looked different too in the part where Terk Runs into the tent scared... In the beginning of the game you are given a selection on whether or not to SKIP EVENTS. Black Ballades looks like those little wizard heartless...but in black ! New stuff about Black ballards i had managed to kill 2 in a battle, but it only gave me munnies and a measly 1 p when u run into one, the black ballard will split himslef into five. The REAL one will hover upwards, indicating that hes the real one, then, they're ALL SWITCH PLACES, and u have to guess or see where the real on ewent, hit right nad it'll give u munnies and 1 p, hit it wrong and it'll hit u with thunder. i think that u'll get a special item if u get them all right 5 times. but i'm not sure... There is an added Gummi Mission. Basically, it serves as one of the minigames that after you score a certain marks by: Collecting the gummi-parts, kill the enemies, crush the obstacles, etc..., score will be calculated, and if you complete the mission, you'll go into the next mission. And the mission only for certain place, different places will have different sets of mission (but I do know the first mission is always "Score **** points to complete the mission".Makes the gummi ship game play rather interesting. Apparently working on it....... When you reach level 6 you will have a new ability called "Strike Dash", this ability is triggered when you are quite a distance from the enemies that you already lock on (Sora will charge his keyblade on the floor and dash foward like skateboarding to perform a move, connect a combo after this move is possible). Secondly, when you reached level 11 you will have another new ability (I forgot what it is called), it serves as a teleportation slash with combo's in it (not really an accurate description), when you are at the front of the enemy, after a slash, you will teleport to either his side or his back of the enemy yo perform another hit on the enemy, is it true JillV? Jiminey's Journel design is changed. Instead of brown, it is blue in color. The enemy's colour setting is changed. Instead of black and red, the enemy is changed to gold and brownish in colour. NEW ENEMY!!! Pot Scorpion where he regenrates:Area where i fought pot centipede, the gate of the palace u know u ran into it when u see many pots lined up neatly, still dunno how to kill him though, when u slah the pots,they're give u tech points, around 6 p, and munnies and health balls u'll eventually hit one pot aht is pot scorpion, adn he'll spit out poison on the floor and if u step on it u'll get poison i CAN"T hit the damn scorpion, his HP won''t go down well, hope someone will figure how to kill him soon.... You don't need to be afraid of not unlocking the red trinity at the Oogie Boogie mansion (first floor) anymore. It is replaced with other place, even the mansion is destroyed afterwards. You can still come back and unlock it. There is a cool new ability (not really sure what is it called , I read it and it's called Hurricane Period (since the Japanese is called "hariggen piriodo") Where the move looks like Sephiroth's move when he is at green life. He bashes the enemy upwards and ends with a rolling air slash. Quite damaging, though. (remember how Sephiroth slash you hard when he uses the Dark ball plus with the air rolling slash to kill you?) Finally got Ripple Drive, but strangely, I don't really know how to trigger this move more often, It cames out very randomly, and the effect is quite nice. The move is triggered (according to my experience and experiment just now) if you perform a combo, you will trigger this move. This move will damage the enemy surrounding you after the last hit of the combo, is performed, the lesser HP you have, the more damage the move does. Any idea's on how to trigger this move more frequently? (You will get this on Lv.37-39, not quite remember it anymore....) Plus, I encoutered Sniper Wild, that monster is cheating, so it is advisable to kill only quite a number of those guys. They will come out more and more, nearly endless. If this happend, quickly run away from the area. Don't really try to kill all of them. I nearly got killed because of this (I played Proud mode too, and they nearly take my heart....) I also encountered Pink Agracius (Bad translation here, sorry). Easy, just stop it, and it will leave a number of Munnies for you (the animation is quite funny, dancing here and there......) As for the new Keyblade: Diamond Dust: MP point up by 3, and possess ultimate power of summoning and magic. but attack is not the concern. Atk Power : 3 Correction on Item Synthesize You;ll still have the old item back, but to synthesize the old items are different from now. Very major downside: You need to synthesize 30 items to get Ultima Weapon (maybe more). Thanks to the new items.......... Invisible Armor? It should be Stealth Soilder (not Stealth Armor, sorry). A more easier way, cast stop at them, and bash him until it's death. If you prefer a hard way, lock on to them, and bash. The monster is exactly like Soilder, just different in colour, and they are invisible at first (remember Stealth Sneak, that monster you fought together with Clayton? it's the same deal) Oblivion Keyblade is supposed to be stronger than Divine Rose Keyblade, but this time, in FM, Divine Rose is the second strongest keyblade now. (Oblivion lost....) (I dunno about One Winged Angel and Diamond Dust keyblade). Item Synthesize is now different, instead, the items that you found "rare" on normal KH is now VERY COMMON at FM. : Gale, Mystery Goo, Blaze Gem, Thunder Gem, Power Gem.... all those are very very common. Instead, what's more intresting is the item that the New Heartless drop. There are ways for them to drop it. Sniper Wild : You must not let them target you. Finish them off and you will get the rare item. Means if they appear, quickly kill tem before they starting to attack you. Gigantic Shadow: There are 5 of them, finish them before they disappear. And they will drop the rare item. Black Ballade: Guess the right Blade Ballade at least twice ot thrice and they will drop the item for you (rare item, but sometimes it's random, however, you don't need to guess it all correct to get the item) Pot Scorpion : Make it dizzy, and defeat it, and it will sometimes drop it the item for you (mostly it will drop) Chimera: Once you manage to disable his movement (defeat it's armor) there are some colourful sphere's right? crush them before it goes back to Chimera's body, defeat it and you'll get the item (The Item is same as Pot Scorpion drops) Pink Agracius: Still unknown yet......why I can't make it drop the item I want? Gigantic Ghost : Same........ Armor Tank (sp?): Appears on Neverland: deck, where you fight Captain Hook, it looks like Aqua Tank in Atlantica (the fat o tank....) But it can fly! So don't fly while you fight it. Don't let it's missle hit you and finish him fast. Once he drops the item quicky GET IT! because the item will disappear once you left it for around 3-4 sec. Neo Shadow: Haven't fight it yet........ So once you have those items, go back to Traverse Town, and synthesize the new items that Moogle offer (some of the old accesories on KH normal is gone :( but the AP UP, Guard UP is still there..^_^). Once you synthesize for around 14-15 items, Moogle will give you an ability "Encounter UP". yes, it's quite obvious what the ability is, right? And only Sora can equip this ability. Those new goos were dropped by the new Heartless: Rising Goo = Dropped by Stealth Soilder, found in Hollow Bastion - Where you fought Riku one on one. Randomly drop (Chances of Dropping - 80%) Thunder Goo = Dropped by Black Ballade, Guess the right answer at least once or twice and it will drop it. Found on the Deep Jungle - Bamboo Thicket (Randomly drop, chances of dropping = 70%) Shiny Goo - Dropped by Armor Tank (???), found at Neverland - Deck, where you fought Captain Hook. Quickly kill this guy and you will get it. Once you success, you will get 2 of them. (90% chances) Mythril Goo - Dropped by Pot Scorpion, Found at Agrabah - Entrance to Palace Gates. Use Aero at the start of battle and make him dizzy by attacking him and let it go to your direction, you will bounce him back and make him dizzy. A better way to get this item is destroy all the pot (around 15 I think) WITHOUT waking up the Pot Scorpion, sometimes, you will get 2 of Mythril Goo's if you are lucky. Chances Dropped = 50% Filling Goo - Dropped by Neo Shadows, Found at End of The World - Final Rest. Quicky kill those guys before they call their companions and you will get it (Chances Drop = 50%) Power Goo - Dropped by Sniper Wild, Found at Traverse Town - 2nd District, Quicky kill those guys before they AIM AT YOU! it's best to kill it without alerting them, your controller will vibarate if they found out your presence (Chances of Dropping = 100% if you success) Blaze Goo - Dropped by Chimera, found at Halloween Town -Oogie Boogie's mansion (after it is destroyed), Make him drop the item is quite random, for a better effect, try to kill the colour spheres before they get back into Chimera's body after you difuse his armor, and kill him, you will get it. (chances of dropping = 60%) Frost Goo - Drop by Gigantic Ghost. Found at Monstro, where you fought Parasite Cage, 2nd time. Don't attack it. Instead, use 1 Elixir, and 2 Hi-Potions on this guy, he will definitely drop 1 or 2 in per battle. (chances of dropping = 80 - 100 %) Spirit Goo - Dropped by Gigantic Shadow, found at Wonderland, Blizzare Room, where the place you need to drink that thing to get you smaller. If you kill all the Shadows, they will appear. 5 of Them, kill it all before they disappear, and they will 100% drop the item Fulfilling Force - Dropped by Pink Agracius. Found at Atlantica - Undersea Hole, and Deep Jungle - Tree House. Cast Aeroga, stop this funny guy, hit hit him hard, press triangle twice to ask Donald and Goofy to attack it. Abuse your Ars Arcanum, and you will get it to 56 hits, and it will sometimes drop the item (x2) for you. Best to encounter it at Deep Jungle - Tree House. (chances of dropping = 40%) After you got the Oathkeeper, there is a NEW SCENE about Riku. (READ IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!) Riku is falling into somewhere else, where there is a narrator talking to him, Riku does not know who he/she is. And the narrator said that Riku deserves to drown the the deepest of the darkness because of seeking the power of the darkness for too long/ much. Riku is regreting, hence he know he cannot turn back anymore, he will try to resist any futher darkness power. The narrator said that he can't gurentee that he will be success, but thus he gives a path for Riku, a guide, to see someone important, and seek the light. He/She also said that your friends were also there for you (Sora and Kairi). Riku asked about Sora and Kairi, and the narrator say that they were fine, and ready to face the biggest thread, but no more fear, they will success. Riku will thank the Narrator for that, and start his another journe. 14. Ansem's Report MUCH of my life has been dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge. That knowledge has guarded this world well. Not a soul doubts that. I am blessed with my people's smiles and respect. But though I am called a sage, there are things I do not understand. I believe darkness sleeps in every heart, no matter how pure. Given the chance, the smallest drop can spread and swallow the heart. I have witnessed it many times. Darkness...Darkness of the heart. How is it born? How does it come to affect us so? As ruler of this world, I must find the answers. I must find them before the world is lost to those taken by the darkness. IT is my duty to expose what this darkness really is. I shall conduct the following experiments. Extract the darkness from a person's heart. Cultivate darkness in a pure heart. Both suppress and amplify the darkness within. The experiments caused the test subjects' hearts to collapse, including those ofthe most stalwart. How fragile our hearts are! My treatments produced no signs if recovery. I confined hose who had completely lost their hearts beneath the castle. Some time later, I went below and was greeted by the strangest sight. Creatures that seemed born of darkness... What are they? Are they truly sentient beings? Could they be the shadows of those who lost their hearts in my experiments? THE shadows that crawl beneath the castle... Are they the people who lost their hearts, or incarnations of darkness? Or something entirely beyond imagination? All my knowledge has provided no answer. One thing I am sure of is that they are entirely devoid of emotion. Perhaps further study will unlock the mysteries of the heart. Fortunately, there is no shortage of test samples. They are multiplying underground even as I write this report. They still need a name. Those who lack hearts... I will call them the Heartless. THE Heartless appear in groups, and are multiplying rapidly. I've provided them both living and nonliving samples. They've responded only to the living. They seem to multiply after absorbing something from the living creatures. Their prey vanishes without a trace. I believe the Heartless are taking hearts. They are born from those who've lost their hearts, and thrive on hearts seized from others. The hearts taken by the Heartless become Heartless themselves. Though I lack proof, I am confident in this hypothesis. I must study their behavioral principles. Though they lack emotions, they do seem to have some intelligence. How to communicate with them? It's just occurred to me: Could they be the darkness in people's hearts? TO study Heartless behavior, I picked one out for observation. It wiggled its antennae and, as if sensing a target, headed deep into the castle. In the deepest part of the castle, its antennae began vibrating, as if searching for something. Suddenly, strange door appeared. I'd never known of it's existence. It had a large keyhole, but didn't seem to be locked. So I opened the door. What I saw on the other side mystified me. What was that powerful mass of energy? That night, I observed a great meteor shower in the sky? Could it be related to the door that I have opened? A MASSIVE core of energy lay beyond the door sought by the Heartless. It may well be the ultimate goal of all Heartless. But what is that energy? I have devised a hypothesis, based on my observations of the Heartless. The Heartless feed on others' hearts and they yearn for that energy core. That thing beyond the door must be a heart, too--the heart of this world. There is no proof, but having felt that immense energy, I am certain. That was the heart of the world. The Heartless are trying to take hearts not only from all living creatures, but from the world itself. But what do they mean to do with the heart of the world. I AM now studying material from the meteors that rained down that fateful night. What a find! The material is foreign to our world. It is elastic to the touch, and when two pieces are combined, they bond easily. None of the records I've scoured even mention such a substance. Was it introduced to this world when I opened the door? I wonder how many other such materials drift through the atmosphere of this tiny world...I wish I could soar off and find out! Could there be uncharted worlds up there? My curiosity never ceases to grow. But I should stop speaking of such unrealistic dreams. For now, there is no way to venture outside this world. My people and I are all but prisoners of this tiny place. THERE is no doubt that the Heartless are deeply connected to people's hearts. Further study may unravel both their motivations and the mysteries shrouding the heart. As a start, I have built a device that artificially creates Heartless. By recreating the conditions that spawn the Heartless naturally, I should be able to produce them artificially. This device is the culmination of all my research thus far. The machine's test run successfully created a Heartless. This may be a step toward creating a heart from nothing. The artificially and naturally created Heartless showed nearly identical traits. but the two types should remain distinct for the purposes of this experiment. So, I will mark the ones that are created artificially. SIMPLY astonishing! Today I had a guest from another world. he is a king, and his vessel is built of the material that composed the meteors. He called the pieces "gummi blocks." It seems that my opening that door has opened a path to interworld travel. We talked for countless hours, but one story in particular caught my interest: that of a key called the "Keyblade." The Keyblade is said to hold phenomenal power. One legend says it's wielder saved the world, while another says that he wrought chaos and ruin upon it. I must know what this Keyblade is. A key opens doors. It must be connected to the door that I have opened. JUST as people have hearts, so do worlds. The same can be said of stars in the night sky. And deep within each world lies a door to its heart. The Heartless desire those hearts. Born out of the darkness in people's hearts, they seek to return to a greater heart. Yes, that's it. The Heartless come from people's hearts, as does the darkness. is the core of the world's heart the world of the Heartless. I will pursue the answer there, and become all-knowing. My path is set. I will seek out the wielder of the Keyblade, and the princesses. My body is too frail for such a journey, but I must do this. I will cast if off and plunge into the depths of the darkness. 15.

Corrections/Submitted Tips and FAQ/Walkthroughs 19.1 Corrections/Submitted Tips Hey, I am following your guide and found a pretty big ommission. I'm at the Queen of Hearts boss battle in Wonderland. At the point where you pick a box, you say that it's rigged in your favor, but it's not. If you pick the second box from the left, Goofy and Donald appear and they're put into cages and you have to fight the battle without them. Just thought I'd let you know! Thanks. submitted by Jason Thompson via email. And please, no more emails on this subject, I've gotten at least 10 so far! Here's a couple tips for some easy Tech points at the Destiny Islands. For Wakka, you can hit his Blitzballs back at him. When he throws one at you, wait till it's close (but not too close) and attack. If you timed it right, the Blitzball will fly back at Wakka and usually hit him. You'll get a Tech Point, and it will stun him (and damage him), so you can get in a combo. Also, once he's stunned, he tosses out some more high-lobbed, slow-moving, easy-to-hit-back Blitzballs. If you hit his glowing Blitzball, it stuns him for longer (and damages him more) and you get 2 Tech Points. I defeated him several times and I never even touched him. For Tidus, when he comes running at you with his sword at his side, rush up to meet him and attack just as he does. You will parry his blow, stun him briefly (but not damage him), get 2 Tech Points, and leave him wide open to a combo. I got to level 10 just knocking back Blitzballs and parrying sword thrusts. It takes a while, but it's a flawless - and limitless - source of Exp early in the game. Note: If you put this in your FAQ/Walkthrough, feel free to edit it for clarity, I am not a great writer. submitted by Gary "Don't put my real name in." Thunder via email. 18.

I already had the song lyrics written down on my computer, so it was easier to cut and paste it into the FAQ/Walkthrough than to do everything in order. But, just relax, I'm working on the rest! Please, don't laugh at the next question. But I guess you can because I did! Q. What is Kingdom Hearts? A. Oh...god. I hope, no, I pray on all that is holy that you are asking "What is the PLACE Kingdom Hearts?" and not "What is the GAME Kingdom Hearts?" Well, I'll answer both. 1. Kingdom Hearts is the heart of all worlds, as far as I can tell. *Spoilers* Ansem thought that Kingdom Hearts was true darkness, but Sora proved that it was light. Kingdom Hearts is where we last see Riku and King Mickey. 2. Kingdom Hearts is a joint-venture by Squaresoft and Disney. It is an action/RPG game, in the same vein as The Legend of Zelda. This game features real-time combat, with RPG elements such as a command menu. Q. What do you need to see the Special Secret at the end of the game? A. Things...and some stuff. All that you need to do is beat the Hades Cup, seal all the Keyholes (Including Traverse Town, Olympus Coliseum, and 100 Acre Woods.) And even though Monstro doesn't have a Keyhole, you still need to beat it. You also need to find all 99 Dalmations. YOU DO NOT NEED TO FIND ALL THE TRINTY MARKS. Q. You need all the Trinity Marks and/or Ansem's Reports to unlock the Special Secret. A. No, you do not. Q. My friend showed me a website with 2 Keyblades on it. One looked like an icicle and the other one looked extremely long and it's Keychain looked like Sephiroth's wing! What do I have to do to get these Keyblades? I thought I had to beat the Ice Titan and Sephiroth to get them, but it didn't work. A. Well, you do have a skill at figuring things out. I think you are right that you have to face the Ice Titan to obtain Diamond Dust and to get One-Winged Angel, you most likely have to face Sephiroth. But, here's the downside: Those Keyblades are a part of Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix. Which, as far as everybody knows, it's only being released in the Asia/Japan area. Q. I can only find 99 of the 101 Dalmations, where are the last 2!? A. You already found all the Dalmations. The parent Dalmations, Pongo and Perdita are the last two, they never went away. Q. I have Drain and Osmose Gummis equipped, but I don't pick up any more items than before! A. You have to use the Right Analog stick to use Drain/Osmose Gummis. Q. I was reading your FAQ/Walkthrough, and a couple of parts had major spoilers! By the time I bought the game, your FAQ/Walkthrough had ruined a huge portion of the game for me. Why don't you label your stuff with SPOILERS!? A. Well...let me ask you a few questions of my own. Okay? 1. From what I gathered from your question, it seems that you read my FAQ/Walkthrough BEFORE you BOUGHT the game, correct? Well...let's see. That may be why you got some spoilers. Psst...I got something else to tell you...the weapon in this game is a key! 2. Any FAQ/Walkthrough is going to have spoilers in them, so why bother putting in a warning when people know what to expect? But, I have put a warning in now, so don't worry. No, I didn't do it to satisfy you. I did it so other morons don't email me. BTW, have a nice day! Q. Sephiroth says "Send Heartless Angel!" not "Sin Harvest." A. Listen, I'm not going to take sides anymore. The line between the two sides is far too blurred now to take a side. Sometimes it sounds like Sephy says "Sin Harvest" sometimes it sounds like he's saying "Send Heartless Angel". Either way, I don't really care anymore. People could call it "Sensei hurt Angelo" for all I care, and I would not argue with them. Let's all just give it up, and when someone gets an answer directly from Square, then we'll start arguing again. 20. CHALLENGES!!!

Song Lyrics "Simple and Clean"*** by Hikaru Utada When you walk away You don't hear me say Please, oh baby, don't go Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight It's hard to let it go You're giving me too many things lately You're all I need You smiled at me and said, Don't get me wrong I love you But does that mean I have to meet your father? When we are older you'll understand What I meant when I said, "No, I don't think life is quite that simple." When you walk away You don't hear me say Please, oh baby, don't go Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight It's hard to let it go (So simple and clean...) The daily things (Like this and that and what is what.) That keep us all busy Are confusing me That's when you came to me and said, Wish I could prove I love you But does that mean I have to walk on water? When we are older you'll understand It's enough when I say so And maybe, some things are quite that simple When you walk away You don't hear me say Please, oh baby, don't go Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight It's hard to let it go Hold me Whatever lies beyond this morning Is a little later on Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all Nothing's like before When you walk away You don't hear me say Please, oh baby, don't go Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight It's hard to let it go Hold me Whatever lies beyond this morning Is a little later on Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all Nothing's like before *** This is the regular ENDING version of the song. The opening version is a remix, and isn't as long. 22. Credits Thanks to... All the people who have played Kingdom Hearts and loved it.
