GAME MENUS ============================================================================ The main menu screen looks somewhat like this: ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ| ___________________ | ( Items ) | ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ | ___________________ | ( Equipment ) | ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ | ___________________ | ( Abilities ) | ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ | ___________________ | ( Status ) | ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ______________________________________ | ___________________ | | Sora | Donald | Goofy | | ( Journal ) |ŻŻŻ|ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ|ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ|ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ| | ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ |LV | 30 | 27 | 32 | | ___________________ |HP | 45/45 | 32/32 | 48/48 | | ( Config ) |MP | 6/6 | 5/5 | 3/3 | | ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ |___|________|__________|______________| | | ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ| Munny: 74445 | Time: ????? | ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ The config menu: ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ| Auto Lock On Off | ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ| Target Lock Auto Manual | ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ| Camera Auto Manual | ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ| Vibration On Off | ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ| Sound Stereo Mono | ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ| Difficulty Normal Expert | ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ============================================================================ III.

SPECIAL COMMANDS ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Normally, the battle menu on the lower left corner of your screen consists of only the Attack, Magic and Item commands along with a ? in the 4th box. But whenever you see a field icon (?) above Sora's head, it means that a special command is available. So now, there will be a 4th option in the battle menu. The commands are usually "Examine" for anything that has to do with advancing in the game, but with the exception of locked treasure chests. "Open" if you're standing in front of a treasure chest. The other one is "Lift" for barrels and crates. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- iii. BATTLE SYSTEM ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Battles in Kingdom Hearts are in real-time. So if the battle menu at lower left corner of your screen turns RED it means that there's an enemy around. During battles it is recommended that you press R1 to lock on to your target. It's easier to hit an enemy that way. Now if you do press R1, you'll see the words "LOCK ON!" at the upper left corner of your screen. To release the target lock, press R1 again. You can also switch between targets while locked on by pressing L2. Whenever you kill enemies they drop multi-colored balls. The GREEN ones restore HP, the TRANSPARENT ones restore MP, and the GOLD ones are "munny". Remember that you can't open the main menu during battle, so in order to use items you need to equip them. You'll be allowed to use summons later in the game. The summon command is in the magic sub menu. Now, in order to use a summon you need to lock on to your target and all 3 of your characters MUST be alive. Note that your summon will disappear once it runs out of MP, or you can also dismiss it if you want. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- iv. LEVELING UP ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just like other RPGs, you gain levels. You gain experience points either by defeating an enemy, including bosses or successfully parrying blows from them. Blocking an opponent's attack requires good timing, that is, attacking just before a blow from an opponent hits you. It's quite difficult to master, but once you do, it can be very rewarding. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- v. ABILITIES ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- You gain abilities through leveling up, receive it from somebody during story events, or after defeating bosses. Now to use an ability, choose ABILITIES from the main menu, and choose the ability you wish to equip. Remember that equipping abilities require a specific amount of AP. Most abilities are automatically used when equipped, but some require pressing the SQUARE button in order to be used when necessary, like Dodge Roll for example. You can also REMOVE abilities if you feel like you don't need them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- vi. CHARACTER CUSTOMIZATION ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can also customize your characters by choosing the CUSTOMIZE option in the main menu. For Sora, you can designate shortcut buttons to magics. Let's say for example, you assigned TRIANGLE to Fire. To use that, hold down L1 then press TRIANGLE. You can also do the same with the X and Square buttons. As for Donald and Goofy, you have several customization options to choose from. Here's a list of all the options and their descriptions. ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ| Manual Create your own fighting style | ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ| Personal Reflects character's own unique style | ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ| Balanced Good balance of offense and defense | ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ| Conservative Focuses on conserving MP and items | ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ| Defensive Focuses on recovery and defense | ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ| Offensive Focuses on attacking | ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ I recommend using Manual mode since you can customize your characters into exactly how you want them to be. But you can also reconfigure the other modes if you want. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- vii. SAVE POINTS ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- When you open the save menu, you'll see the following options: SAVE, PARTY, GUMMI SHIP and MENU. The gummi ship option becomes available after you get the ship. Also, stepping on save points automatically restores your HP and MP to full. Remember to release the target lock if it's enabled, since you can't save if it's on. ============================================================================ IV. CHARACTERS ============================================================================ There are a lot of characters in this game so be prepared for a long list. Also this section may contain some spoilers which is somehow necessary to give a detailed description to each character. Most of the descriptions for Disney characters were taken directly from the journal. ------------------ PRIMARY CHARACTERS ------------------ Sora ----- A once ordinary 14 year old boy living in Destiny Island with his friends, but soon gets transported in a strange new world, where he becomes the chosen one to wield the keyblade and defeat the Heartless.

Hades wants Herc and Sora out the way, but all his schemes against Sora and the others seem to end in failure. Tarzan ------- A young man raised from infancy by gorillas. His gorilla "mother" is Kala. Tarzan spoke only the language of apes until he met Jane. Since then he's learning to speak English at an astonishing rate.

She's courageous and will face any danger for her research. Clayton -------- A veteran hunter, Jane's guide on her expedition to the jungle. He thinks of animals only as prey. His lust for power and the darkness in his heart attracted the Heartless, and they used him for their own evil purposes. Terk ----- A young female gorilla, and Tarzan's close friend. She is protective of the other young gorillas and acts as their leader. Unlike the other gorillas, her curiosity about humans is greater than her fear of them. Kerchak -------- Leader of the gorilla pack. He was against letting Tarzan join the group, but Kala's resolve won him over. Kerchak worries that Tarzan's contact with people will bring danger to the gorilla community. Kala ----- The gorilla who found Tarzan in the jungle. She has always helped and defended him, even when he was scorned by the others. Kala is not happy about Tarzan's contact with people, but she knows it's important to him. Aladdin ------- A young man living in Agrabah. He helped Sora defeat Jafar and used his last wish to release Genie from the lamp.

He joined forces with Maleficent and tried to control the Heartless. He gained control of the lamp and became a powerful genie.

In the end, his lamp became his prison. Abu ---- Aladdin's faithful furry sidekick. Abu's size ad ability makes him valuable in tights spots. He's got a weakness for jewel and treasure, and when he's around them he can't think of anything else. Iago ----- Jafar's cunning, crotchety parrot. He's Jafar's eyes and ears as he flies around Agrabah, spying on his master's enemies. Iago takes after Jafar, with a penchant for intrigue and evil.

Ariel ------ Triton's youngest daughter. Ursula tricked her into helping steal his trident. She dreams of exploring the world outside her father's palace. King Triton ------------ King of Atlantic, who is backed by the power of his trident. He has forbidden Ariel to have any contact with outsiders, which only led to her yearn to grow even stronger. Ursula ------- The horrendously ugly witch who tried to deceive Ariel into stealing her father's trident. She plans to use it and take over Atlantica. Sebastian ---------- Triton's concert master, a musical genius. The little crab is also responsible for keeping an eye on Ariel to ensure her safety. Whenever she leaves the palace, he's on pins and needles. Flounder --------- Ariel's trusted friend. Flounder will do anything for her. He's small and not exactly brave, but he'll never leave Ariel's side, even when it means facing danger. Jetsam & Floatsam ------------------ Ursula's lackeys. They are evil moray eels who deceive mermens and mermaids alike into Ursula's clutches through empty promises. Jack Skellington ----------------- The pumpkin king. He loves to scare people out their wits. Headstrong, confident, and likes grand gestures. Now he's working night and day to make the year's Halloween festival the greatest ever. Sally ----- Dr. Finkelstein's creation. She's patched together from parts that sometimes come off and move about on their own. She loves Jack and tries to steer him in the right direction, though it doesn't always work. Dr. Finkelstein ---------------- The mad scientist who created a "heart" to help Jack control the Heartless' dancing. Sally is another of his creations. She helps him around the lab, but she'd much rather spend time with Jack. Oogie Boogie ------------- The villain who tried to take Halloween Town. The heart he stole from Dr. Finkelstein attracted the Heartless, and resulted to his own doom. Zero ----- Jack's ghost dog. He comes out of his grave whenever Jack calls. He's very loyal to his master and loves it when Jack plays with him. Lock, Shock & Barrel --------------------- The trio helps Oogie Boogie take over Halloween Town. They have a walking bathtub that helps them move around to commit all sorts of mischief. Lock is the leader of the trio, Shock is the most cunning, while Barrel is a little slow and often ends up on his butt from his partners' pranks and practical jokes. Mayor ------ The two-faced mayor of Halloween Town. He switches from his happy face to his sad face depending on his mood, which changes constantly. He's working with Jack to make the year's festival the best ever. Peter Pan ---------- The flying boy from Neverland, where no one ever grows up. He can be stubborn, but he's also fearless and has a strong sense of justice. He snuck on board Hook's ship to rescue Wendy, who was kidnapped. Tinker Bell ------------ The little pixie from Neverland. She easily gets jealous whenever Peter mentions Wendy. She also has the ability to make people fly. Wendy ------ A dreamy girl whose wish to visit Neverland came true. Peter Pan showed her the way, but she got caught up in Hook's vendetta against Peter, and was kidnapped by Hook. Captain Hook ------------- The pirate with a grudge against Peter Pan, who caused him to lose his hand to the crocodile. He threw in his lot with Maleficent and the Heartless, but ended up being chased over the horizon by the crocodile. Mr. Smee --------- Hook's first mate.

Winnie the Pooh ---------------- A little bear living in the Hundred Acre Wood. His favorite food is honey. Being a Bear of Very Little Brain, he's a bit absent-minded. Sometimes he even forgets what it was he was trying to remember. Piglet ------- Pooh's best friend in the Hundred Acre Wood. Tiny, timid Piglet is startled by just about anything. When that happens, he covers his eyes with his floppy ears. Owl ---- The wisest resident of the Hundred Acre Wood. Whenever anyone has a question he can't answer, he asks Owl... though owl isn't always right! Owl likes to talk, but sometimes he puts his listeners to sleep. Rabbit ------- Rabbit is an earnest, hardworking member of the Hundred Acre Wood community. He keeps to himself but lends a hand when others need him.

Beneath that happy-go-lucky exterior beats a sensitive, gentle heart. Eeyore ------- Timid, retiring Eeyore lives in a little house in the roots of a tree. His tail is held on by a tack, but it keeps falling off and getting lost. Now he's wandering the woods, looking for a new home. Roo ---- Roo dreams of bouncing as well as Tigger someday. He's mischievous, energetic and fearless, but grows uneasy when Tigger is not around. ============================================================================ V. WALKTHROUGH ============================================================================ When you select NEW GAME, you'll be asked about your game's difficulty level and vibration settings. ############################################################################ AWAKENING ############################################################################ After the opening FMV, you'll be in an area with 3 platforms: 1 with a sword, the other a staff, and the last one a shield. Jump on each one to examine them. You'll have to pick 2 and give up 1. Now, make sure you decide properly here, as what you choose affects the order in which Sora will learn his abilities later on; not to mention his basic stats. The following table summarizes your character stats at level 1 and level 100 based on which attribute you strengthen (+) and weaken (-): -----+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+---------+ Stat | +Swd -Stf | +Swd -Shd | +Stf -Swd | +Stf -Shd | +Shd -Swd |+Shd -Stf| HP | 18 --> 84 | 18 --> 84 | 18 --> 84 | 18 --> 84 | 18 --> 84 |18 --> 84| MP | 2 --> 8 | 2 --> 8 | 3 --> 10 | 3 --> 10 | 2 --> 8 | 2 --> 8| AP | 1 --> 37 | 3 --> 39 | 3 --> 39 | 3 --> 39 | 3 --> 39 | 1 --> 37| STR | 6 --> 57 | 6 --> 57 | 3 --> 54 | 5 --> 56 | 4 --> 55 | 5 --> 56| DEF | 2 --> 52 | 1 --> 51 | 3 --> 53 | 1 --> 51 | 4 --> 54 | 4 --> 54| #ITM | 3 --> 7 | 3 --> 7 | 3 --> 6 | 3 --> 6 | 3 --> 8 | 3 --> 8| #ACC | 2 --> 3 | 2 --> 3 | 2 --> 3 | 2 --> 3 | 2 --> 3 | 2 --> 3| -----+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+---------+ Also remember that the sword gives you early access to attack-related abilities, the shield to defensive/support abilities and the wand to magic- related abilities. The choice is yours. This part is actually just a tutorial on game basics, so just follow whatever instructions you're given. After that you'll find yourself at Destiny Island. Here, just talk to Selphie, Wakka and Tidus. Each one of them will ask you a question so, again you have to choose. This affects your level up speed. Here are the choices: DAWN (Quicker than Average Level Gains at Lower Levels, Slower than Average Level Gains at Higher Levels) -------------------------------------------------------------+ Tidus | Wakka | Selphie | ------------------+--------------------+---------------------| Getting Old | Broaden Horizons | Number One | Getting Old | Rare Sights | Number One | Getting Old | Rare Sights | Friendship | Getting Old | Rare Sights | Prize Possessions | Getting Old | Be Strong | Number One | Being Different | Rare Sights | Number One | Being Indecisive | Rare Sights | Number One | -------------------------------------------------------------+ MIDDAY (Average Speed of Level Gain at All Levels) -------------------------------------------------------------+ Tidus | Wakka | Selphie | ------------------+--------------------+---------------------| Getting Old | Broaden Horizons | Friendship | Getting Old | Broaden Horizons | Prize Possessions | Getting Old | Be Strong | Friendship | Being Different | Rare Sights | Friendship | Being Different | Broaden Horizons | Number One | Being Different | Broaden Horizons | Friendship | Being Different | Broaden Horizons | Prize Possessions | Being Different | Be Strong | Number One | Being Different | Be Strong | Friendship | Being Indecisive | Rare Sights | Friendship | Being Indecisive | Broaden Horizons | Number One | Being Indecisice | Broaden Horizons | Friendship | -------------------------------------------------------------+ DUSK (Slower than Average Level Gain at Lower Levels, Quicker than Average Level Gain at Higher Levels) -------------------------------------------------------------+ Tidus | Wakka | Selphie | ------------------+--------------------+---------------------| Getting Old | Be Strong | Prize Possessions | Being Different | Rare Sights | Prize Possessions | Being Different | Be Strong | Prize Possessions | Being Indecisive | Rare Sights | Prize Possessions | Being Indecisive | Broaden Horizons | Prize Possessions | Being Indecisive | Be Strong | Number One | Being Indecisive | Be Strong | Friendship | Being Indecisive | Be Strong | Prize Possessions | -------------------------------------------------------------+ You'll have some more tutorials on basics here. You'll then encounter your first save point, save and take the new path up. In the next area just walk a bit forward and you'll fight Darkside. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BATTLE: DARKSIDE =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Experience Points: 18p He's pretty easy. Just lock on to his hand and start smashing away. He'll also release some Heartless, make sure you kill some of them as they leave HP balls. Use these to heal if you get damaged. The battle will be over soon enough. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ############################################################################ ############################################################################ DESTINY ISLAND ############################################################################ Sora will wake from his dream. There will be a long cut-scene between Sora, Kairi and Riku about their hometowns and the raft they were building. When you regain control, talk to Kairi. She'll ask you to gather the materials needed to build the raft. Here's what you need: 2 LOGS, 1 CLOTH, 1 ROPE. Now go a bit south then west and into the Seaside Shack. There's a save point here, so save if you want. Go upstairs to the bridge. In the next area go across the bridge and pick up the log at the other side. You'll also see Riku sitting on the tree (lazy bum!) Jump back down and go a little bit east from the shack to find the second log. As for the cloth, from the dock (where Selphie is sitting) go up the plank and head east then north. Go up the stairs. From there, go east to the end of the path and go up the ladder. Follow the path until you reach a room. Get the cloth inside (it's on the right wall) Finally the rope. Go back to the plank at the pier and this time head a bit north and up the ladder to the left. Follow the path to the end and get the rope. Also, it's worth challenging Tidus, Selphie, Wakka or Riku to a duel for level up. It doesn't really matter if you lose to them, but anyway here are some tips for each battle: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- TIDUS ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- He's practically easy to beat, just stay close and keep smacking him. But be sure to watch your back though since he'll surely attempt to attack you from behind after you finish a combo. One more thing, whenever you're successful in blocking his blows, you'll see the words: "Tech 2p" on your screen which also counts as experience points. So be sure to try and block when you get the chance. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- WAKKA ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Be sure to keep an eye on his blitz ball and run around a lot in order to dodge it. But remember that you can bat his ball back to him if you get the timing right. If you're lucky, it'll hit and stun him, giving you ample time to try and beat him down into a pulp. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- SELPHIE ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- She's no doubt the easiest of the 3. Her attacks are really weak compared to those of Tidus and Wakka. There's actually no need for a strategy here since you'll beat her fairly easily. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- TIDUS, WAKKA, SELPHIE ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a 3-on-1 battle, therefore it's tough. Talk to Tidus after you've beaten each one of them at least once to unlock this option. Now I suggest that you beat Tidus first, then Wakka. Always save Selphie for last as she's not that much of a threat. You'll receive a Potion if you win. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- RIKU ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This can be tough, but it's really worth it to fight him again and again as you'll receive 5p, (which is a lot at this point) and a Potion every time you win. But you CAN'T afford to fall off the side (you'll lose if you do) Just stay close and attack him. Once he falls on his back, get away from him to avoid being kicked when he gets back up. When he's on the defensive stance, simply attack him from the side or from above the head. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// According to thebakersandmoore2, you can find a Protect Chain in this area. Here's where you can find it: Right by the tower, you will find a crate. Pick it up, and walk past the tower towards the hole you see -- you can't quite reach the lip. Now toss the crate below the hole. Jump on the crate, and use the height to jump to the lip of the cave. Climb in, and open the chest. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// When you're ready, save your game and go talk to Kairi. She'll give you a Hi Potion. After that, tell her you wanna go home. Watch some long cut-scenes. Once you regain control again, proceed to the Cove (where Kairi was standing a while back) There, talk to Riku. You'll decide on a name for the raft (default is Excalibur), but Riku wants to name it Highwind. So you'll have to race with him. Your goal here is to activate the star at the end of the course and return to the where Kairi is. If you lose, you just don't get to name the raft Excalibur. That's all, no big deal. When that's over jump down and talk to Kairi who is standing on the raft by the shore. She'll tell you to find food for your journey. Here's what you need: SEAGULL EGG, 3 MUSHROOMS, 2 COCONUTS, 3 FISHES and DRINKING WATER. - Seagull Egg: Go to the Bridge and climb the tree with a thin trunk. You should see the egg on the tree behind you. Jump up there to get it. - 3 Mushrooms: There's a rock to the east of the raft. Push it to get a mushroom at the back. There's one under the watchtower. The last one is in the "Secret Place", go up the plank behind Wakka and go east. Head inside and take the mushroom. There will be a short cut-scene between Ansem and Sora. - Drinking Water: Go to the pond beside Wakka and fill up the empty bottle there. - 3 Fishes: Swim along the area not far from the dock where Selphie is standing to find the 3 fishes. - 2 Coconuts: Just smash the tree trunks until you get 2 YELLOW coconuts to fall. Go to the shack and save your game. Talk to Kairi and tell her that you wanna go home. There will be some cut-scenes between Sora and Kairi, then you'll see Mickey's letter to Donald telling him to go to Traverse Town with Goofy and find "Leon" as he'll be the one to show them where the "key" is. When you regain control, the island will be infested with Heartless. Head for the Seaside Shack and save your game. Go upstairs to the Bridge and you'll see Riku there. After a short cut-scene, you'll receive the Keyblade. Proceed to the Secret Place, there'll be another cut-scene, then you'll fight Darkside again. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BATTLE: DARKSIDE =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Experience Points: 60p This battle is pretty much the same as the first, except for the fact that he has more HP. So just lock on and attack. Again, he'll release some Heartless so kill them for those HP balls. Feel free to use your potions too, but this is usually unnecessary. You shouldn't have any problem winning. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- After the battle, Sora will end up in.... ############################################################################ ############################################################################ TRAVERSE TOWN ############################################################################ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ability gotten in this area: Dodge Roll Magic gotten in this area: Fire Trinity gotten in this area: Blue Trinity (Trinity Jump) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- When you regain control after the short cut-scene, proceed to the accessory shop and you'll meet Cid there. Jump on the cabinet for a chest with a Mythril Shard. Leave the shop afterwards and head east up the stairs to the Second District. The town will also be infested with Heartless, just fight your way through. Feel free to explore a bit to familiarize yourself with the area. Once you're done, go back to the accessory shop at the First District and save your game. Leave the shop. You'll meet Leon here. There'll be a short cut-scene between him and Sora about the keyblade. You'll have to fight him after that. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BATTLE: LEON (SQUALL) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Experience Points: 30p Avoid his trigger attacks at all costs, it's real deadly. He'll also shoot fire spells at you, but that shouldn't be a problem. I found him most vulnerable after he does a combo. Now when you get close enough, try pushing him back into a corner with your own combo attacks. Once you've done that, just stay close and smash away to prevent him from striking back. You'll win after a while. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Note: It won't be game over even if you lose to him. You just don't get any experience points which you need, along with a slightly different cut-scene. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Watch a long and interesting cut-scene. When you regain control at the hotel room, jump onto the table and examine the treasure chest. (it'll be locked) Now talk to Yuffie and she'll tell you that the keyblade can open locked doors and treasure chests, so examine the chest again to get the Elixir inside. Save your game and talk to Leon. Tell him you're ready. There will be another cut-scene where the Heartless attack the town. (as if they hadn't already) You'll regain control at the alleyway. After giving a not so useful advice, Leon will leave you to fend for yourself. Here, go south then north at the corner for a chest with a Potion. Head back to the 2nd District afterwards. The 3rd District is your next destination, but feel free to go back to the 1st District if you need to stock up on items. I suggest that you go save at the accessory shop too. Be sure to talk to Aerith there for a Mega- Potion. At the 3rd District, you'll see a short cut-scene. Donald and Goofy will Join now. Just defeat all the Heartless here and a massive piece of junk Will appear out of nowhere. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BOSS: GUARD ARMOR =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Experience Points: 110p Equipment Dropped: Brave Warrior This one has a lot of parts, therefore make sure that you focus on only one target at a time. The feet are the easiest ones to hit so get rid of them first. Once they're gone go for the hands then the body. Watch out for its devastating spinning attack though. Killing each part yields HP balls which helps quite a bit. Don't worry too much about healing -- let Donald or Goofy do that for you. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- After the battle, there'll be some long cut-scenes. Then you'll be back at the 1st District where Aerith, Leon and Yuffie will give you 100 munny plus an Elixir. (if you managed to beat Leon). Donald and Goofy will teach you the Fire magic and Dodge Roll ability respectively. Proceed to the accessory shop to get the Blue Trinity. Go back to the Hotel. You can now access the Red Room, get in there for a chest with a Pretty Stone. Now proceed to the Green Room and hit the clock located above the door to this times: 12:00, 6:00, 7:00. This will reveal a chest with a Mythril. Once done, go through the door that leads to the Alleyway. Here just go east to the end for another Pretty Stone, then west for a Potion. Lastly, go to the 3rd District and use Fire magic on the door with a flame marking on it to access the Magician's Study, where you'll meet Merlin and the Fairy Godmother. You can also activate Blue Trinity marks if you wish. When you're ready, leave the town through the World Exit. You'll have some tutorials about the Gummi Ship. You can now go to 3 new areas, which you can tackle in any order. But let's start with.... ############################################################################ ############################################################################ WONDERLAND ############################################################################ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Magic gotten in this area: Blizzard ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- There will be a short cut-scene with the White Rabbit when you arrive. Once you regain control follow him to the next area. Here, push the bed first then talk to the door knob. He'll tell you to drink the potion on the table to get smaller, so drink it and proceed to the Queen's Castle. You'll see another cut-scene where Alice is on trial for allegedly trying to steal the queen's heart. Sora then claims that Alice is innocent, so the queen will ask you to gather evidence and prove it. When you regain control, go through the left entrance to the Lotus Forest. After the short dialogue with the Cheshire Cat, go north then east past the second red flower. You'll find a Blue Trinity mark and the "Footprints" evidence here. Next jump on the mushrooms, then across the trees/platforms to find a high exit to the Bizzare Room. Get in there to find the "Stench" evidence. Make your way back to the Lotus Forest after that. From the entrance go north and jump on the boulder, then onto the platform for the "Antenna" evidence. Jump on the mushroom that leads north for a chest with a Thunder-G, then onto the mushrooms leading east up the trees for a chest with puppies 16-18. Go back to Queen's Castle afterwards. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Note: There's a total of 4 evidences. So far I only managed to find 3. You're supposed to get the Blizzard magic if you can find all 4, but it's ok even if you didn't since you'll still receive the magic from the Cheshire Cat after beating Trickmaster. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- According to Jared Schuster [honaccord@hotmail.com] here's where you can find the 4th evidence: Go in to the Bizarre room through the entrance that lands you on the faucet. Face towards into the center of the room. Carefully turn and jump to the right. It is on the ledge you will see the pink gift box. (That's the "Claw Marks" evidence.) Here's a more detailed description of where to find the 4th evidence, as contributed by Jason Gray [jason_gray@yahoo.com]: To get the fourth evidence you first need to find the yellow flower. If you examine it it will ask for a potion. Once you give it the potion, it will make you (not Donald and Goofy) big. Then if you turn around you will see a stump. Go and jump on it and it will shrink into the ground and a green leaf stand thingy will pop up next to it. Then look for the fruit piece that you may have seen earlier on top of the tree and cut it down to eat it to become small again. The when you are small again, go north then your first east turn. Jump onto the small mushrooms then the left stand thingies and head south. That extra platform should allow you to now get to the platform in the corner. From this platform you should be able to go to the Bizarre Room. Then off to the right you will see the fourth box on the ledge. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Save your game first then talk to a heart card soldier to present the evidences. The queen refuses to check each evidence and instead asks you to pick one. This one's completely random, so you'll just have to take chances and hope you get the right one. Regardless of what you picked, the queen will order her card soldiers to seize you. Your target here is not the soldiers but their tower. Just knock the cards that are closest to you out, so that they won't bother you while you destroy their tower. After the battle, everyone will notice that Alice is gone. There's nothing else to do here so go back to the Lotus Forest. Inside, you'll see the Cheshire Cat again. When you regain control, give the yellow flower a Potion to grow big and move the boulder. This will make a few platforms appear. Move around until you see a "?" then take the fruit and eat it to get small again. Jump on the new platforms to get to the other side. You'll find another Blue Trinity mark and an exit to Queen's Castle. Take that exit for a chest with an Aero-G. Go back to the forest and proceed to the Tea Party Garden. Be sure to sit on the chairs here for some presents. Go to the inverted Bizzare Room after that. Inside there will be another short dialogue with the cat. Just jump onto the tables and light the two lamps. Also, remember to release the lock up north to reveal another exit to the Queen's Castle. Use that one to get a chest with puppies 13-15. Proceed to the normal Bizzare Room, but save your game first. Once there, prepare for a boss fight. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BOSS: TRICKMASTER =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Experience Points: 150p Equipment Dropped: Ifrit's Horn This battle isn't as tough as it looks. Simply hit him with magic when he is standing and use physical attacks once he bends down. He'll try to slap you away with his arms most of the time, so just keep your distance when he does that. Also, he will start shooting flames at you after a while, be sure to watch out for that too. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- After the battle, there'll be a cut-scene in which the door knob complains about having been awakened by all the "ruckus", then you'll get the Navi-G Piece. You'll also receive the Blizzard magic from the Cheshire Cat. (if you didn't get all 4 evidence pieces) ############################################################################ //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Note: It's a good idea to go back to Traverse Town and open the treasure chest at the cafe. First destroy all the chairs, then put out all the candles with your Blizzard magic to get a Defense Up item from the chest. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ############################################################################ OLYMPUS COLISEUM ############################################################################ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ability gotten in this area: Sonic Blade Magic gotten in this area: Thunder ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are 2 Blue Trinity marks here that you can activate immediately for some treasures. (the one to the right has puppies 22-24) Also, try putting out the flames on all the torches with your Blizzard magic (if you have enough MP) to reveal a chest with an Orihalcum. Check behind the pillars too for a Mega-Potion. Proceed to the Lobby afterwards. Talk to Phil and he'll ask you to move the huge block. Push it until the phrase "it weighs a ton" appears then talk to Phil again. There'll be a cut-scene where Phil refuses to believe that Sora is a hero, while Donald and Goofy tries to convince him otherwise. Eventually, Phil decides to train you. You'll have to break all the barrels within the given time limit. 20 barrels within 30 seconds in the first round and 25 barrels within 1 minute in the second round. You'll receive the Thunder magic after that. He still won't let you enter the games so go outside. You'll see a short cut-scene with Hades and he'll give you the "Entry Pass". Go back inside and show it to Phil. You can now enter the preliminaries. Make sure your characters are stocked with Potions and Ethers before you enter the tournament since you won't be given the chance to restock on items. There'll be 7 matches to fight here. After the 5th battle you'll see a cut-scene between Cloud and Hades. You'll then fight your 6th battle followed by Cloud. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BATTLE: CLOUD =-=-===-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Experience Points: 80p He's really fast and his attacks are powerful, therefore this is going to be a tough battle. But thankfully winning isn't necessary. Now Dodge Roll to avoid his dash attacks while trying get close to him at the same time. Once you're close enough keep attacking him from the side or better yet head on. Doing this will make him concentrate on blocking your blows rather than attack you. Be sure to move around a lot though to dodge his plunge attack. You'll win eventually. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- After the battle, Cerberus will show up and so will Hercules. When you get back to the Lobby, restock on items and SAVE your game then go back to the arena. It's also a good idea to customize your partners so that they don't do physical attacks often. (this will prevent them from trying to smack Cerberus silly and end up dying.) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BOSS: CERBERUS =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Experience Points: 200p Equipment Dropped: Inferno Band Never ever attempt to attack him head on; I'd bet you're suicidal if you did. Instead stay on the side and lock on to any head then attack. You can also try to jump on his back to get on top of him and start smashing. Avoid getting bitten at all cost as you definitely wouldn't want to see how much damage it can do. Watch out for his fire balls as well. When he starts releasing black stuffs after you, just Dodge Roll or jump to avoid it. Be sure to keep your partners alive if you can so that they can help with healing when you need it. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- After the battle, there will be a cut-scene and you'll receive the Hero License. Outside talk to Cloud for another cut-scene. You'll receive the Sonic Blade ability afterwards. ############################################################################ ############################################################################ DEEP JUNGLE ############################################################################ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Magic gotten in this area: Cure Trinity gotten in this area: Red Trinity (Trinity Charge) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The moment you arrive, Sora immediately realizes that he's alone, with Donald and Goofy missing. Once you regain control, you'll be fighting a leopard, which should be easy enough. After the battle, you'll have to watch some long cut-scenes -- the first one between Tarzan and Sora, the other between Donald and Goofy. You are now allowed to have Tarzan in your party. Just drop off the side of the tree house when you regain control. In the next area, jump on the platforms to your right for a Mega-Ether. There's also a save point here, so save if you like. Drop off the hole to your left to the next area. Avoid the branches here by jumping past them, you'll be at the Camp after that. Go into the Tent for a cut-scene, where Sora finally meets up with his two companions. Save your game and open the chest here for a Mythril Shard. Talk to Jane and she'll ask you to find the slides, exit the Tent to begin your search. Outside, activate the Blue Trinity mark located near the exit that leads to Hippo's Lagoon to get puppies 34-36. Here are the locations of all the slides: Slide 1: Find it on top of the Tent you exited from. Slide 2: Go left from the Tent and find it on a file cabinet at the end. Slide 3: Find it in front of the painting canvas. Slide 4: Jump on the stack of boxes north of the Tent to get it. Slide 5: Find it on top of the brown tent. Walk to the end. Slide 6: Climb the set of boxes at the right side of the Tent. Once you're done, go back inside the Tent and examine the projector to view the slides. There'll be a cut-scene, where Clayton asks Tarzan to take him to the gorillas. Leave the Tent and go south to the Bamboo Thicket. In the next area keep going north until you reach the Cliffs. Here, jump on the rocks to your right, climb the vines and go left for 2 chests with a Mythril Shard and a Mega-Potion. Head back to Camp and this time take the west exit to Hippo's Lagoon. There's a vine to your left that leads to the next area, but don't climb it yet, instead jump on the pink platform on the water and go north. There's a chest at the end with puppies 25-27. Go back and climb the vine to the next area. There's another save point here. Just swing through the vines until you reach Vines 2. You can go up the vine immediately to proceed to the next area, but be sure to jump on the vines here to get a chest with puppies 28-30. Here, proceed to the Tree House, activate the Blue Trinity mark first to get puppies 31-33. Go in. After the cut-scene, head back to Camp and into the Tent for another cut-scene. Leave the Tent, and you'll be fighting your first batch of Power Wilds. Basically, what you have to do is: rid every area of Heartless. You'll receive items from the gorillas every time you clear an area. -------------------------------------------+ Area Cleared: Item Received: | -------------------------------------------| Camp Protect-G | Bamboo Thicket Fire-G | Cliff Aeroga-G | Climbing Trees Aeroga-G | Tree House Shell-G | -------------------------------------------+ Once you've cleared each area, go back to Camp and talk to Jane. (Don't forget to save) Proceed to the Bamboo Thicket and after a short cut-scene, you'll have to fight Sabor. This one's easy -- attack it and roll out of the way once it charges at you. You'll receive 150p and a White Fang accessory when it's over. There'll be a cut-scene. When you regain control, head back to Camp and Jane will be missing. Save your game and proceed to the Tree House. Don't bother trying to kill all the Heartless here, since they'll just keep coming. Your target is the black thing, just attack it several times. Head back to Camp and save your game. Proceed to the Cliff. After a short cutscene, you'll fight Clayton. Just smack him around a bit and he'll summon Stealth Sneak after a while.

If you have a decent amount of MP try hitting Stealth Sneak with whatever magic you have, but be sure to move in for some close combat as well. Keep in mind that Clayton will also be shooting you with his rifle, so roll away when you see him aim. Once Stealth Sneak's HP is down to the green bar, Clayton will fall off. This time concentrate on Clayton, don't bother with his chameleon. Just dodge whenever he fires his rifle, and attack him with all you got. You should win even if his pal's healing him. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- After the battle there'll be a cut-scene and you'll also learn Cure.

When you regain control after the short dialogue, check the shelves for 2 treasure chests with a Torn Page and Cottage. Leave the room and there'll be a cut-scene with Ursula. Go back to the Undersea Valley and look for a dolphin. (If there's none, leave the screen and come back until it appears.) Rid the area of Heartless first, and grab onto the dolphin.

Go inside the ship, and open the chest here for the Crystal Trident. Swim to the back of stairs and into the hole that leads to the lower deck. You'll see a clam there, hit it to get a Mythril.

There will be a short cut-scene when you arrive, followed by a boss fight. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BOSS: URSULA =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Experience Points: 1000p This battle is absolutely annoying. Not only will Ursula spin all over the place like there's no tomorrow, but her lackeys will also be there to bug you as well. So don't bother with close-range combat. Well... not until you stun her. Cast magic on her cauldron. If the liquid from the cauldron hits her, your screen will flash. This will not only damage her, but will also leave her stunned. Thus, giving you enough time to damage her further with your physical attacks. Once she awakens, repeat the process. Just be patient and you'll win eventually. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- After the battle, you'll get the Mermaid Kick ability. Equip it and go back to the Calm Depths. Press O repeatedly to swim against the current, towards a new cave labeled "???". Inside there will be a short cut-scene with Ursula. You'll have to fight her again after that. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BOSS: URSULA =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Experience Points: 1500p She has grown awfully large this time around. But thankfully, she's a whole lot easier. Just swim to the back of her head and start smashing. When she says something like: "Now I'm angry!", that means she's about to use her mouth and suck you in. So use Mermaid Kick to get away. You can also use magic on her if you want to, but I suggest you reserve your MP for healing instead. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- After a short dialogue between Triton and Sora, you'll get the Thundara upgrade and the Ansem Report 3. Go back to Ariel's Grotto for a cut-scene where Sora seals the keyhole. You'll receive the Crabclaw key chain from Ariel afterwards.

Now you have to check the tombstones. Look at the order in which the ghosts rise and examine the tombstones in that order. The big pumpkin will open up and the treasure chest will contain a jack-in-the-box. Take it back to the professor. After the cut-scene you'll need to find those kids. Go to the graveyard again and there'll be another cut-scene. Go to where the open pumpkin was and examine the door. Inside explore the new area and you will find that there is a platform to be lit. Light it with your fire magic. Next go up the long pole and examine the structure that is sticking out of it. You'll be taken to a new area so go to the far left and light the platform. Cross the bridge and there will be a long cut-scene. In this new area walk up the bridge and examine the door. Once inside there will be a red trinity mark and a treasure chest containing an Ether. Light the lantern in that room. Jump on the platform. Your only way here is up, so keep going until you find the Playroom. Here you'll find Lock, Shock and Barrel and they'll fight you. There isn't much strategy in this battle so just beat them up. Try talking to one of them and they'll accidentally tell you about the lever. So examine the machine on the side to find it. There's also a save point here. Save before leaving. It's time to find the "green door". Just fall off the ledge and try landing on the grayish-black path to find the Torture Chamber. Go in. You'll see a cut-scene where Boogie swallows the heart and attempts to summon some Heartless. You'll fight him after that. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BOSS: OOGIE BOOGIE =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Experience Points: 2500p Equipment/Item Dropped: Holy Circlet/Ansem Report 7 There is no way you'll be able to reach him by just jumping so don't bother. Let your partners handle the Heartless he had summoned. Make sure you keep the target lock on Boogie all the time so that you'll know where he is. Now when the small panels around the platform starts glowing, step on the one that is located directly across from where he is. This will make a portion of the platform rise to Boogie's level giving you the opportunity to hit him. He'll push you off after a while, so just wait for the panels to glow again. He will also drop some explosive dice at you, so make sure you keep an eye on that. Watch out for the spinning blades too as those can be pretty deadly. This can no doubt be an annoying battle so just keep your cool and you'll win eventually. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Tip: You can deflect the non-explosive dice (the smaller ones), that Oogie Boogie throws at you. You'll receive 27 Tech Points for each successful attempt. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// The battle isn't over yet. Oogie Boogie has now grown to an enormous size. I strongly recommend that you go back to the Guillotine Gate and save before you fight. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BOSS: GIANT OOGIE BOOGIE =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Experience Points: 2500p You have to find and destroy all 7 orbs.

Now you will have to fight Maleficent. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BOSS: MALEFICENT =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Experience Points: 6000p Items Dropped: Ansem Report 5 This is an easy battle. Keep jumping on the platform and hit her. If the platform is too high up to jump on, then just hit the platform until it falls down. Also get out of the way when she is saying a spell. Don't worry about the heartless because Donald and Goofy can take care of them. Cast Aero and make sure that you're fully stocked with Potions/Hi-Potions, along with some Ethers for your MP. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- When you defeat her there will be a cut-scene. Donald will learn Cheer. Follow Maleficent and there will be another cut-scene where Maleficent turns into a dragon. You'll have to fight again after that. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BOSS: DRAGON MALEFICENT =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Experience Points: 6000p Items Dropped: Fireglow Use aero and keep attacking her. When she does her shockwave attack just jump out of the way. Try to avoid the green flames at all cost, since that's her deadliest move. Be sure you're fully stocked with Potions and Ethers too. But if she still annoys you, then just cast Stop on her. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- When she's finally defeated, there will be a cut-scene and you'll receive the Fireglow. Turn around and go through the portal. Next go to the opening that is near the save point(don't forget to save) head for the Lift Stop. Go to the opening to the left. Next go through the door and then go up the stairs. There will be another cut-scene, then you'll have to fight Riku again. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BOSS: RIKU =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Experience Points: 8500p You'll fight him alone this time. I suggest you bring some Ethers with you just in case you run out of MP. Also, having powerful a keyblade such as the Metal Chocobo should make this battle a bit easier. Now cast Aero on yourself as soon as the battle begins, since his moves are quite damaging. But the good thing is most of them can be avoided using Glide. Simply attack him, or use any of your special abilities such as Strike Raid or Ars Arcanum on him. You should win after a while. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- When the battle is over Sora will learn Ragnarok. There will be a cut-scene, then go back to the Entrance Hall for another cut-scene. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Traverse Town 3 --------------- You'll find yourself at the Vacant House in Traverse Town. After the Cut-scene, go talk to Cid. He'll tell you to find the other Navi-Gummi, so head for the Secret Waterway at the 2nd District. Here, talk to Kairi and examine the mural on the wall to get the other Navi-Gummi. Go back to Kairi for a long cut-scene. You'll receive the Oathkeeper keyblade afterwards. Head back to the 1st District and talk to Cid again. He'll install the Navigation Gummis for you. Also, don't forget to take the Fireglow gem to the Fairy Godmother for the Mushu summon. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Now you must go back to Hallow Bastion using the new warp hole. When you land at Hallow Bastion there will be a cut-scene. Go to the entrance of the Castle and activate the white trinity to get a Firaga-G. Make sure your party includes Beast. Go back to the Grand Hall. First go up the stairs and there will be a cut-scene. Walk up to the keyhole to be taken to the Dark Depths. There will be a boss fight =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BATTLE: BEHEMOTH =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Experience Points: 16,000p Equipment Dropped: Omega Arts This battle is pretty easy. Just jump on his back, lock on the head and attack. Once his horn begins to gather energy, that means he's about to unleash a somewhat devastating lightning attack, so get away from him to avoid it. Cast Aero on yourself and heal when necessary... that's about it. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- After the battle, there'll be a short dialogue between Sora and the princesses. You'll also get the Firaga upgrade. Now all that's left is the End of the World, so feel free to finish whatever side quest that needs completing. Also, don't forget to go back to the Library in Hollow Bastion and talk to Aerith for the Ansem Reports 2, 4, 6, 10, then to Belle for the Divine Rose keyblade. Be sure to go back to the Grand Hall as well for the Oblivion key chain and puppies 61-63. When you're ready, ride your Gummi Ship to the final area. ############################################################################ ############################################################################ END OF THE WORLD ############################################################################ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ability gotten in this area: Superglide ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- When you regain control after the short cut-scene, keep going forward while picking up treasures along the way. You'll eventually reach a cave with a save point. Save your game and continue on until you reach the end where you need to battle a Behemoth. You'll be taken to the next area when you win. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Note: Here are the contents of all the treasure chests in the area: Power Up(x2), Defense Up(x2), Megalixir, Omega Arts, Angel Bangle, Three Stars, Dark Ring. Remember that you have to fight a group of Heartless in order to get certain treasures, while you can open others without having to fight anything. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Here just drop down to the end, and climb the vine to your left to get to a platform with a save point. Save your game and jump into the glowing portal. In this area, just go through the portals -- these take you to the worlds that you visited all throughout the game. Each area contains a treasure. Here's the list: ---------------------------------------------------------+ World Treasure | ---------------------------------------------------------| Traverse Town Brave Warrior | Wonderland Ifrit's Horn | Olympus Coliseum Inferno Band | Deep Jungle White Fang | Agrabah Ray of Light | Atlantica AP-Up | Halloween Town Holy Circlet | Neverland Raven's Claw | 100 Acre Wood Megalixir | ---------------------------------------------------------+ When you reach 100 Acre Wood, save your game and leave the area. Outside go through the portals once more, and you'll be taken to a new room. In this area, there's a treasure chest somewhere near you. (I forgot what's in it.) Now go into the next room and open the treasure chest for a Megalixir. Examine the panel up ahead for some info. Defeat all the Heartless that appear and leave the place. Outside, jump into the whirlpool for a boss fight. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BOSS: WINGED DEMON =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Experience Points: 15,000p This battle shouldn't be too hard. Cast Aero on yourself first then fly in and attack. Having an accessory that reduces fire damage helps too. He'll start using a devastating flame attack at you after a while, so just fly away from him when this happens. Keep your HP high at all times, and you'll win eventually. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- After the battle, you'll get the shared ability Superglide. Go inside the volcano and fly all the way down to the bottom. Go through the white portal. Do the same in the next 3 screens. You'll be in a huge open area, where you have to fight a Behemoth. After the battle, go through the heart-like thing. Here, open the treasure chest for a Megalixir. You'll also encounter your FINAL save point. Make all the necessary preparations, such as having nothing but Elixirs in your item inventory. Once you're ready, save your game and go through the door. You'll be back to Destiny Island. Here, go to the Secret Place for a short cut-scene. When you regain control, go to where Riku is standing, and there'll be another cut-scene with Ansem. He'll fight you after that. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BOSS: ANSEM =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Experience Points: 10,000p I entered this fight at level 45 in my first game, and believe me he's extremely hard. On my second game, I fought him at level 75 and he became really easy. Anyway I strongly recommend that you have both the MP Rage and MP Haste abilities here, since it's going to make things a little less complicated for you. Also make sure that your partners have a decent supply of Ethers with them, just in case you run out of MP. Now cast Aero on yourself as soon as the battle begins. (Recast the magic immediately once it wears off.) Ansem will be flying all over the place, thus making it really difficult to hit him. But luckily he does stop and take a break from all the flying. When this happens, Superglide towards him and hit him with all you got. When he uses his guardian to block, move to the side or the back and attack from there. Another thing... once he says "submit", get away from him immediately to avoid being grabbed by his guardian. You really wouldn't want to be caught, because in addition to the damage, the guardian will follow you around and Freeze you in place. Just keep a close eye on him and heal when necessary. He should fall after a while. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- After the battle, you'll be given a chance to restock on items. So make any necessary preparations, since you'll be fighting the next succeeding battles ALONE. When you're ready, follow Ansem to where he went. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BOSS: DARKSIDE =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Experience Points: 8000p This guy just doesn't give up does he? Anyway, cast Aero on yourself first then attack. He'll start releasing Heartless after some time. Be sure to kill some of them for the HP balls, since you would want to preserve your MP for later. When black heat-seeking stuffs begin falling from the sky, just Dodge Roll to avoid them. The battle will be over soon enough. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- You'll have to fight Ansem again, as soon as the previous battle is over. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BOSS: ANSEM =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Experience Points: 20,000p This battle will be a lot more difficult than the first, since you're all alone. Cast Aero on yourself as soon as the battle begins. Also he has a new charge attack, but other than that everything else is the same. The strategy for the first battle still works here too. When you hear him say "Take this!", use Superglide and hold the [] button to stay aloft until he stops. Feel free to use an Elixir or two, but not all! This will no doubt be a long and tough battle, so don't get frustrated and you should win. You can also stop his charge attack by parrying him, right before he hits you. You'll also get 199 Tech Points for every successful attempt. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- You think the battle's over? Well... the answer is no, NOT YET! That's why I told you not to use all your Elixirs. After a short cutscene, you'll have to fight Ansem. (again!) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BOSS: ANSEM =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Experience Points: ???? You finally get to fly again. Cast Aero on yourself first, then fly in and start smacking him. Don't hesitate to use either Ars Arcanum or Strike Raid on him too. Try to avoid the lasers as much as you can, since those can inflict more damage on you than Ansem himself does. He'll also blow you away pretty often, so just fly in again when this happens. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- When it's over, destroy all the laser-shooting things located below him. Once they're gone, go near the Ansem and go through the multi-colored portal -- the Portal of Darkness. You'll meet Goofy in here. Fight off all the Heartless, and destroy the target at the other end to be taken to the next area. You'll have to fight another monster. Just attack the eyes, and once it's defeated go through the mouth. Now Donald's in here. Fight off all the Heartless, and collect those MP balls to refill your MP. Destroy the target at the other side to get out. Here, just fly into the mid-section and destroy the heart. It's time to get rid of Ansem once and for all. Just use the same strategy you did before, and now that you have your companions back with you, the battle shouldn't be that hard. ############################################################################ Hey you've beaten the game! Congratulations! Now just sit back and watch the wonderful ending. ============================================================================ VI. SIDE QUESTS ============================================================================ ############################################################################ i. SECRET ENDING ############################################################################ In order to see the hidden ending, (actually it's more like a teaser than anything else) you need to have the following when you finish the game: - Rescue all 99 Dalmatians - Lock all keyholes... including 100 Acre Wood. - Complete Hades Cup //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Reminder: You MUST collect all your prizes from the Dalmatian's House, since the secret ending will not appear if you didn't! //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// WAIT UNTIL THE END OF THE CREDITS TO SEE IT! I'm not going to reveal anything about it here. You just have to see it for yourself. ############################################################################ ii. 100 ACRE WOOD ############################################################################ Upon arriving, head for the Empty Meadow for a cut-scene with Pooh, who believes that his friends had all gone away while he was napping. After the cut-scene, go back to the world map. =-=-=-=-=-=-= Pooh's House =-=-=-=-=-=-= Go inside the house. Here, you'll see a cut-scene of Pooh being out of honey. When you regain control, go north and examine the cabinet for an Elixir. After that go outside and you'll meet Owl, and he'll tell you about the missing pages. Now leave the house and go west. Jump on the roof, then hit the pipe with your keyblade. You should hear a sound. Go back inside the house to get a Mega Ether. There's nothing else to do here, so go back to the world map. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Pooh's Hunny Tree =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= You'll see Piglet here, but he'll be scared of you and run away. Now you have to play catch with him. Basically, you just have to sneak up from behind and talk to him. Now there'll be a cut-scene where Piglet gives Pooh a balloon. After that, talk to Pooh and you'll have to play the "Pooh's Hunny Hunt" minigame. What you have to do is: swat the bees away from Pooh, so that he'll be able to collect as much honey as possible. Just follow him up the tree and if you fall, use the "Rush" special command immediately to catch up with him. When that's over, return to the world map and the torn page will turn into the Naturespark summon gem. (Give it to the Fairy Godmother for the Bambi summon.) =-=-=-=-=-=-=- Rabbit's House =-=-=-=-=-=-=- Here, go around to the back of the house for a short dialogue with Piglet and Pooh. Now go into the house. Inside, examine the pot on the ceiling to find some honey. Pooh will start eating after that. Go outside and try to leave. Piglet will come and ask you to help Pooh, so go back into the house. You'll notice that Pooh got stuck. Leave the house and go around the back and talk to Pooh. Tigger will suddenly come bouncing on Rabbit's carrot patch, and since you need carrot juice to free Pooh, you also have to stop Tigger from destroying the patch. You'll get to play the "Block Tigger" minigame. Your goal here is to prevent Tigger from bouncing on a carrot twice, or else it'll be buried. Once done go back inside the house and push Pooh out. Go back to the world map and the torn page will turn into a Mythril Shard. =-=-=-=-=-=- Pooh's Swing =-=-=-=-=-=- When you arrive you'll see Eeyore floating downstream, and he'll ask Pooh to help him get out of the water. When you regain control, go into the water and swim towards Eeyore. Once you're back on the bank, Eeyore will notice that his tail is missing. You'll have to find it for him. Now lock on to Pooh with R1 and lead him to the swing. Once there, you'll have to play the "Pooh's Swing" minigame. Here just press R1 as soon as Owl opens his wings, and if you get it right Pooh will find Eeyore's tail. Go back to the world map and you'll get the Stopra upgrade. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Note: Go back to Pooh's House after completing the Swing area. You'll see Pooh sitting there, shivering. Talk to him and he'll tell you that he's cold from all the swinging. Now you should notice a burned out camp fire there... use Fire magic on it then talk to Pooh again. He'll give you a Mythril. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Tigger's Bouncing Spot =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- In this area talk to Tigger and he'll teach you how to bounce. You'll get to play the "Tigger Bounce" minigame. Here, you'll have to memorize which tree stumps Tigger jumps onto and copy it for 3 rounds. The first 2 should be a breeze, while the 3rd one can get really frustrating. When it's over, Tigger and Roo will applaud your skill in bouncing. Talk to Roo and you'll have to play another minigame -- the Tigger's Giant Pot. What you have to do here is hit all 20 nuts back towards the pot, to break it. (Remember that you can't afford to fall off the tree stump you're standing on. You'll have to start over if you do.) When you're done, go to the place where the pot once was, and jump into the stump for a chest with an AP Up. You can also find nuts for Owl and get some items in return if you want to. Go back to the world map and the torn page will turn into a Mythril. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Pooh's Muddy Path =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= This is the final area. When you arrive, you'll see Pooh looking for all his friends, claiming that some "bad people" took them. So now you'll have to help Pooh find his friends. Simply lock on to Pooh with R1 and lead him to where his friends are. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Note: I don't believe it's necessary to bring Pooh over to where his friends are, since they'll automatically go back to Eeyore's spot when you find them. But remember that Piglet is an exception to this rule. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Eeyore - Examine the bushes to your right to find him. (Now all of Pooh's friends will return to this spot when you find them.) Roo - He's bouncing on the branch of a tree to your left. Simply jump and attack the branch to make Roo fall down. Talk to him and he'll go back to the bushes with Eeyore. Rabbit - Go north and you should see a well that's blowing air. Behind it are 3 holes and Rabbit is hiding in one of them. Talk to him once he comes out to get him back to Eeyore's place. Tigger - Use the "air well" and blow yourself up the log. Talk to Tigger here to get him back. Owl - Now go back down and lead Pooh towards the flowers to the left of the well. This will take him up. Lead him across the log and to the flowers. Talk to Owl and he'll go back. Piglet - Not far from where Owl was, is a t
