Walking this road,
Without you,
To remake forgotten promises,
and meet you at roads end.
Faded Memories,
Reconstructed Memories,
A dream - a dream of you,
In a world without you.
A scattered dream that's like a far-off memory.
A far-off memory that's like a scattered dream.
I want to line the pieces up --
yours and mine.

| V1.6 |

_____________________________________________________________________________
| Introduction |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Hello, and welcome to my KHII FAQ! I am writing this because I have some
free time and really enjoy talking and writing about Kingdom Hearts. KHII
has been out for a while now, I'm I'm sure that most people have beaten it.
This is mostly for completionists, perfectionists, or just people who are
stuck at a boss. I havn't updated in a while, and I hope this doesn't
disappoint you, but I didn't add any of the Walkthrough to this update, it
is minor. I overhauled the text boxes and made them look better and easier
to read. I have been extremely busy with finals and end-year tests at
school. Now, school is over and I have the summer ahead of me. I should
have the main walkthrough by the end of June, and the rest of the guide
should probably take a while, considering how much is going to be needed.
I'm planning on writing some more FAQs after I get done with this one, so
look out for them!
Have fun reading this guide, I hope it helps you.

| Updates |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
V1.0 - March 24, 2006 - Started the layout of the guide; Worked on some of
the Indexes.
V1.1 - April 2, 2006 - Started Walkthrough; updated layout.
V1.2 - April 14, 2006 - Grrr..Had a lot of trouble with the | charcter, so
updated layout AGAIN, and I'm sorry that it isn't as attractive as I
had originally hoped, but at least this can be posted on GF without
being all jumbled. Since I need to re-format every box of text, I
took everything I had for the Indexes out for now.
V1.3 - April 23, 2006 - Reworked Important Notices, Table of Contents, and
new section text boxs; added Sephiroth strategy; added
Glitches/Tricks; walkthrough up to Atlantica. (2) Added my
Sephiroth video to the Sephiroth Battle section. I have the walk-
through up to Halloween Town done, but it is on my other computer,
so I won't be able to add it for a few days.
V1.4 - May 3, 2006 - Walkthrough up to Agrabah; I accidentally deleted the
last parts of this file, mainly the rest of the walkthrough I had
done, and couldn't get a lot of it back (made me mad); finally
reformatted lots of text boxes, so got all of the Nobodies, Org.
XIII Members, and Ansem's Reports in there; added Heartless
definition.
V1.5 - May 14, 2006 - Really wasn't lookin foward to re-typing Halloween
Town, but it had to be done; Walkthrough up to Rabbit's House;
Added Enemies and Shop Inventory to the beginning of each world in
the same manner that the guide book does.
V1.6 - May 28, 2006 - Updated lots of text boxes to a less confusing
format. Basically I cleaned it up; Added Michael Sarich's copyright
notice.

|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| I. A. 1. The 1st Day.................................................(ia01) |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
You are now in Twilight Town, playing as a mysterious boy, Roxas,
previously known as the Blond Haired Kid, and you've got to clear your name.
Walk forward and head toward Biggs' Armor Shop. Walk up to Jesse's Accessory
shop and talk to her with triangle. After talking with the candy shop owner,
use R1 to Lock-On to her cat. In the Sandlot, watch the scene...
"That was undeniable proof that we totally owned you lamers." = Best quote ever
and choose what weapon you will be using. What you choose has to do with what
points will be added to your stats.
Magic-Type Club - +1 Magic
Defense-Type Club - +1 Defense
Attack-Type Club - +1 Strength
After deciding what weapon you will be using, you will battle Seifer.
The game will give you a tutorial on how to fight. Then the fight really
begins.
________________________________________________________
| Boss Battle: Seifer |
|--------------------------------------------------------|
| HP: 100 |
| Threat: Low |
| Get Bonus: None |
|--------------------------------------------------------|
Seifer isn't hard. Run up and start hacking away at
him, while parrying his swings. When he trys to do a
spinning slash, step back and wait for it to be over,
then get in there. That's about it, and after a few
good combos, he'll go down.
|--------------------------------------------------------|
Watch the events that follow. Now chase that mysterious thing through the
woods. After you arrive at a mansion (*Remembers Vexen*), go up to the thing
and use the capture command.
________________________________________________________
| Boss Battle: Dusk |
|--------------------------------------------------------|
| HP: None |
| Threat: Low |
| Get Bonus: None |
|--------------------------------------------------------|
You will find that you cannot damage it with your
current weapon. After you obtain the keyblade, use the
Reversal reaction command with triangle to get behind
the it and then hack away. Rinse, wash, repeat.
|--------------------------------------------------------|
Watch the events that follow, and the first day is done.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| I. A. 2. The 2nd Day.................................................(ia02) |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Time to see blue seas, blue skies. Time to go to the beach! But your broke,
so it's work before play.
You can now save the game for the first time. Go up to the save point and
press triangle. You will obtain the Twilight Town Map after a short scene.
Get on your skateboard and follow your friends to the Market Street.
Watch the cutscene and then go up to the help wanted bulletin board. Select the
job you want to do. You're supposed to get at least 800 Munny today, but you
can get away with a very small amount. Try to go for 1200. The most you can
obtain for the day is 2000, but don't bother. Remember that you got 150 Munny
already from the Dusk.
800-1190 Munny = +1 AP Bonus
1200-2000 Munny = +2 AP Bonus
__________________________________________________
| Mail Delivery |
|--------------------------------------------------|
How fast you do this will depend on how much
Munny you get. This is the easiest and fastest
way to get 1200 Munny.
5 letters in under 20 seconds: 50 Munny
5 letters in under 60 seconds: 30 Munny
5 letters in over 60 seconds: 10 Munny
There are three people and two birds you need to
deliver to; deliver the letters with triangle:
- Go down the hill and there is a guy in green
on your left.
- Continue down and there will be a bird, jump
and press triangle.
- After you land, there will be a guy in blue.
- Grind the ledge and then jump to get to the
second bird.
- After you get the second bird, turn around and
go straight and the last girl will be in
white.
|--------------------------------------------------|
__________________________________________________
| Cargo Climb |
|--------------------------------------------------|
You have to move a giant sack on a wagon up a
hill. This can be difficult to complete in 30
seconds. After a few three-hit combos, the sack
will fly up in the air, and it will hurt you if
you are under it. Make sure when it flys up in
the air, you hit it, and it will fly a good
distance. Make sure you get it in the garage.
Up the hill in under 30 seconds: 50 Munny
Up the hill in under 60 seconds: 30 Munny
Up the hill in over 60 seconds: 10 Munny
|--------------------------------------------------|
__________________________________________________
| Grandstander |
|--------------------------------------------------|
You need to impress a crowd by keeping a ball
from touching the ground. You do this with
combos. Think Rare Truffles. This is an easy 50
Munny.
20+ max combo: 50 Munny
5-19 max combo: 30 Munny
1-4 max combo: 10 Munny
|--------------------------------------------------|
After you've completed these three jobs and gotten a good amount of money
from them, head on over to the Tram Common with your good ol' skateboard.
There is another bulletin board here. Select the jobs you want to do.
__________________________________________________
| Poster Duty |
|--------------------------------------------------|
Pretty straight-foward. There are posters all
over. The triangle button lights up on them
when you are close to them. You will have to
jump to reach most of them. There are a few
places where there are three in a triangle, so
try to find these. Challenging but worth it.
1:30 or less: 100 Munny
1:30-2:00: 50 Munny
2:00 or more: 30 Munny
|--------------------------------------------------|
__________________________________________________
| Bumble-Buster |
|--------------------------------------------------|
Yellow Lock-On to the bees and swipe away. With
the Lock-On yellow, the closest swarm of bees
will be what you hit.
20 seconds or less: 50 Munny
60 seconds or less: 30 Munny
More that 60 seconds: 10 Munny
|--------------------------------------------------|
__________________________________________________
| Junk Sweep |
|--------------------------------------------------|
Hit the junk into each other. You can also
slowly move the junk with your body to get them
close to one another.
10 swings or less: 50 Munny
11-15 swings: 30 Munny
More than 15 swings: 10 Munny
|--------------------------------------------------|
After you get at least 800 Munny, go up to Station Plaza and talk to Hayner.
You will recieve the Munny Pouch and an AP Boost if you earned it. You will
obtain the Munny Pouch, but you don't have it for long. Watch the events that
follow and the 2nd Day is done. I want some sea-salt ice cream.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| I. A. 3. The 3rd Day.................................................(ia03) |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
After reading Hayner's note, save your game. Head out into the Back Alley and
then to Market Street. Watch the scene. In the Sandlot, try to hit the Dusk.
Now here's a familiar place, the Dive to the Heart. If you've played the first
game, which I know you have, the weapon decesion should be familiar to you.
Whichever weapon you choose has to do with what Abilities are learned when
throughout the game. This is put in great detail in the Abilities section of
the Indexes.
Battle all the Dusks and the Get Bonus for this battle is the Aerial Recovery
Ability.
Be sure to equip Aerial Recovery, and open the chest, and put that Potion in a
shortcut. Save your game and go through the door. Kill any and every enemy you
see. The chest on the second platform contains another Potion. After getting
to the top, run back down, go to the Station of Serenity, and then come back.
The Dusks should be back again, and you want to level a few times before you
fight the upcoming boss. You might even recieve another Potion or two from the
Dusks. Make sure you are at least Level 4, where you will learn Scan, before
entering the door on the third platform, especially if you are playing on
Proud Mode.
________________________________________________________
| Boss Battle: Twilight Thorn |
|--------------------------------------------------------|
| HP: 300 |
| Threat: Medium |
| Get Bonus: |
| Roxas - Max HP Increase, Guard Ability |
|--------------------------------------------------------|
This guy is no push-over, and on Proud Mode he is
tough, so don't be afraid to use Potions as needed.
Hopefully you've obtained three. At the beginning of
the battle, you will be bound in mid-air. When TT goes
to slug you, use the reaction command to dodge it and
hit him in the face. He will recover and try to hit
you again, so use the corresponding Lunarsault command
to knock him back again. He will now go under the
platform, and tip it, so you fall towards him. Use the
Break Raid command to chuck your keyblade at that ball
of energy and stun TT.
TT is now down, and wide open for attack, so give him
what you got! After he gets up, he will come at you,
so jump out of his way, and wait until he gets on his
head. Hit him in between the Reversal reaction
commands, which you always want to use. After this, he
will stand up and shoot black stuff at you, which you
can use to Reversal up to his head.
TT will probably do the same thing he did at the
beginning of the battle again, so just repeat the
process. If it isn't dead after the second energy ball
attack it will probably shoot black stuff like crazy,
just keep doing Reversal and attack when you can.
The Nobodies TT summons provide health balls, so kill
kill them if needed.
|--------------------------------------------------------|
Watch the scenes, with a sneek preview of Aerith's horrible voice
actor, and the third day is over.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| I. A. 4. The 4th Day.................................................(ia04) |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Struggle! Struggle! Struggle!
Seifer!
Vivi!
Hayner!
Roxas!
Of course, we're gonna see to it that Roxas walks away the champion. Go over to
the guy near the chalk board and listen to the rules of Struggle. If you want
to level up a bit, go to the Back Alley and battle Seifer a few times. If your
low on Potions, go buy some at Wantz's Item shop in Market Street: Station
Heights. Save your game and talk to the guy standing in the ring when your
ready to Struggle!
________________________________________________________
| Struggle Battle: Hayner |
|--------------------------------------------------------|
Back up and let Hayner attack nothing, and then
quickly come in, combo him, collect the orbs, and back
away again. Easy as PIE!
|--------------------------------------------------------|
________________________________________________________
| Struggle Battle: Vivi |
|--------------------------------------------------------|
Seifer said to thrash 'im, so we's is gonna thrash
'im. Equip Guard, because this little mage is fast.
When he stops to attack, flank him. If he is going a
bit too fast for your prefrence, Guard against him and
unleash a combo.
|--------------------------------------------------------|
After the fight with Vivi, time will freeze again and Dusks will fill the
arena. Dispatch of them to cue one of the most uber bad-ass Organization
members, Axel.
________________________________________________________
| Boss Battle: Axel |
|--------------------------------------------------------|
| HP: 105 |
| Threat: Low |
| Get Bonus: None |
|--------------------------------------------------------|
When Axel tries to hit you with his chakarams, Guard
to parry it and combo him. He doesn't have too much
health, so he shouldn't be much of a problem. When he
puts his hand on his lap, this is a free time to
attack him. If you don't he will get fiery and lay a
fiery smack-down on you, so always be pretty close to
him. Whether you beat him or not doesn't matter.
|--------------------------------------------------------|
Watch the scene and then save your game before going into the final Struggle
battle.
________________________________________________________
| Struggle Battle: Setzer |
|--------------------------------------------------------|
Attack as soon as the battle begins to get some cheap
shots in on him, and then back up. When he lunges for
you, jump and circle to his side, and let out a combo.
When he does a triple lunge, dodge it and then attack
him from behind. If he does a flippy-type attack,
Guard against it.
|--------------------------------------------------------|
If you beat Setzer, you get the Champion Belt. If for whatever reason you
couldn't beat him, you get the Champion Medal. You also obtain "The Struggle"
Trophy. Watch the scenes and the 4th day is done.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| I. A. 5. The 5th Day.................................................(ia05) |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Save your game and go into the Alley, Market Street, Station Plaza, and then
up to Central Station. The town line's free, so it won't cost you anything.
After arrving at Sunset Terrace, you find out the steps rumor was fake. Go
see Pence for a map of the Seven Wonders. Before we go Wonder Hunting, let's
take care of the chests around here first. Go to the middle of the Tram track
and wait for the Tram. Do a double reaction command to hop on it and then hop
onto the pillar to your left. The chest contains an Ability Ring. Hop down,
and behind a tree is a chest with a Potion. Circle around the area until you
get to a bridge. Cross the bridge and to your right is a Hi-Potion. Go
straight after getting the Potion and turn the corner to your left after a
set of stairs to find a chest with a Potion inside.
Now for the second Wonder, The Friend from beyond the wall. Go up the alley in
Sunset Terrace and investigate the brick wall. Balls will shoot out of it, and
your objective is to dodge them and make it back to the brick wall. Once you
get there, press triangle.
The third Wonder, The Moans from the Tunnel, is, you guessed it, in the
tunnel. Inside you find Vivi, but, its actually 14 Vivi clones that you have
to battle. This battle isn't too tough, as the Vivis die in one hit.
The fourth Wonder, The Doppelganger, is at the waterfall, near where Olette
is. Upon investigating it, a shadow Roxas comes out, and you, as always, have
to fight. Shadow Roxas is slow, and often leaves itself open for attack. You
should have no trouble just wailing on it.
Go to Sunset Hill for the fifth Wonder, The Animated Bag, and investigate that
bag thats at the top. Hop onto it, and just press triangle a bunch to hop over
all the trash cans. It was a dog, I mean, come on.
The Sixth Wonder, The Ghost Train Mystery, is back on Sunset Hill.
After the scenes, Investigate the Seventh Wonder. Go to the Tram Common, The
Woods, and then The Old Mansion.
Watch the scenes and the fifth day is finally over.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| I. A. 6. The 6th Day.................................................(ia06) |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
This is the last day you get to play as Roxas =(
Save and head into the Back Alley. After the scene, fight off the Dusks.
An Assassian will appear, so Guard when needed and take it out as well.
After the short scene, head to the Old Mansion while battling the Nobodies.
Watch the scene.
This Mansion is filled with Nobodies, so stay alert. Run forward to get to a
chest with a Hi-Potion. Halfway up the left stairs is a chest with a Potion
in it, and on the second floor is a chest with a Potion. Head downstairs and
enter the door to the west. Inside are two chests, one with a Potion, and one
with an Elven Bandanna (NOTE: Throughout the game Bandana is spelled wrong.
I'm going to spell it the way the game does, even though it isn't correct).
Head back to the Foyer, go up the stairs and to the left, to get to Namine's
White Room. After the scene, you obtain Namine's Sketches and the Mansion Map.
Save, and also note that in this room, your command menu is cards, to pay
homage to Chain of Memories.
Head out and go to the oppostie end of the upstairs to the Library. Watch the
scene and head down to basement, opening the chest to get a Hi-Potion on the
way. After the scene, save and go through the new door. Fight off the Nobodies
and run into an old friend.
________________________________________________________
| Boss Battle: Axel |
|--------------------------------------------------------|
| HP: 345 |
| Threat: Medium |
| Get Bonus: |
| Roxas - Max HP Increase |
|--------------------------------------------------------|
Okay, so Roxas gets Oblivion and Oathkeeper and now
has to defeat his former best friend... Easy right?
Well, ya, actually, if you have some Potions, it is.
Run around to his side at the beginnign of the battle
so he doesn't get a cheap shot in on you. Use the same
strategy as before, and watch out when he is flaming.
Use the reaction commands at the right time to show
that skinny wierdo you mean business. After you stun
him, run in and attack with everything you got! When
he goes behind the flame wall, keep him locked on and
look for the reaction commands.
|--------------------------------------------------------|
Head into the next room and watch the scene, then open the chest
for a Hi-Potion. Head into the next room, and make Sora whole. This
marks the true beginning of Kingdom Hearts II.

Watch the scenes, and then select your party, abilities, items, journal,
whatever. In the Mansion's courtyard lies two chests, one with a Mythril
Shard and one with a Potion. After the scene, save at the Usual Spot.
Go into the Sandlot and watch the scene. Before we go see the King, lets
get some treasure chests shall we? Jiminy's Journal has every treasure chest
in every area, so look there to see if you think your ever missing any chests.
From the Sandlot, head into Tram Common. There are 7 chests in the Tram
Common, so lets get started. The first one is down the little ramp that is
directly in front of you, containing a Hi-Potion. Turn right, run up
the hill, and then turn around to spot a chest containing a Potion. Run
down the Tram tracks until you get to the end of a little tunnel, then
turn left to see two stair things. Hop up them and then run to the edge
of the brown roof. Turn left to see a rainbow thing, jump on it and run
accross it, and you will be on another brown roof where you can jump
to get a chest with a Mythril Shard. Turn left and go straight to the
other roof to get a chest with another Mythril Shard. From here, jump
down and go left, and behind that old ladies closed down shop is a chest
with a Potion. From the Accessory shop, run up three flights of stairs
to reach chest with a Tent. Then, hop across the gree roofs to the blue
one with a chest containing an AP Boost, which you'll probably want to
use on Sora.
Head up to Station Heights, and then to Central Station and then to Central
Station and view the scene. Fight all the Nobodies while waiting for King
Mickey to arrive, and you and your party might level up a few times. You
recieve the Munny Pouch, Crystal Orb, and Secret Ansem's Report 2.
Watch the scene and then go up the stairs. There are 3 chests around the
station. They contain a Hi-Potion, a Tent, and a Mythril Shard. When your
ready, save your game and talk to Donald. Watch Sora cry, and then you'll
ride the train to the Mysterious Tower. You can pick up 3 chests before
talking to Pete. The chests contain a Potion, Hi-Potion, and an Ether.
After the scene, you have to kill a few Shadow Heartless, no big deal. You
end up inside the tower and can't go back outside right now. Open the chests
containing an Ether and Mythril Shard and then save your game. Head up the
stairs. Fight your way up the stairs into the next room where you must
again defeat all of the Heartless. Head through the door to continue. In
the next room, you must defeat all of the Heartless AGAIN! There is are
Soldiers thrown in with the Shadows this time, if the Cyclone reaction command
appears, don't miss your chance to use it. After the scene, head through the
door and continue to ascend until you reach Yen Sid.
After listening to his words of wisdom, open the chest containing the Tower
Map and save. Read the book, and after your done, talk to Yen Sid. Head
through the door and open the chest containing a Mythril Stone. Speak to the
red Good Fairy and obtain some new duds. With your new clothes you get the
ability to drive into Valor form by fusing with Goofy. This comes with the
Star Seeker Keyblade, but you can't set it to your main keyblade yet.
You probably want to test out your new drive form right now, but don't!
Save it for when you get into a rather tough battle, because getting your
drive guage up is hard this early in the game. Head through the door to where
Master Yen Sid is to reviece... your Gummi Ship, Highwind!
The only place you can go is Hollow Bastion, and you don't have to do a
Gummi Mission to get there, yay!

This is the shopping area and sort of acts as a Traverse Town. Theres an
Accessory Shop, Armor Shop, Weapon Shop, Synthesis Shop, and Item Shop.
If you need anything, stock up. Be sure to stop by the synthesis shop and
drop off anything you've picked up so far to get an Elixer. After you've
stocked up on stuff, talk to Uncle Scrooge. After learning about his soon-to-
be ice cream empire, head into a new area, The Borough.
You meat up with Yuffie and she explains the town's new defence system, which
is a welcomed ally. Before she can say more, some Nobodies show up, so
take care of them with the help of the town's defence mechanism. This battle
is a great time to try out your Valor Form.
Yuffie says to go to Merlin's House and gives you the Marketplace Map. Next
to Merlin's door is a chest with a Hi-Potion. After you get greeted by the
gang, please take some time to laugh with me at Aerith's god-awful voice
actor.
Hahahahahahahah... Man, she is just awful, just awful. I swear to god I
laughed when I first heard her talk, I acually laughed out loud.
Anyway, after recieving a Membership Card and Blizzard Element, save and
head back outside. Head down the street for a chest with a Tent. Head up the
stairs and hop onto the ledge for a chest with an AP Boost that you might
want to send Sora's way. Turn around and go forward for a chest with a Drive
Recovery and a chest with a Mythril Shard. Head down into the Bailey.
Leon shows Sora a thousand Heartless that have been bothering HB. An Org
member who you can't see sends Nobodies to bust through the door, and you have
to protect it. Get right by the door and fend off any Nobodies that get close.
You can't use Valor in this fight, so use your nifty new Blizzard Spell if
things get too hectic. If they are attacking the door, drop what you are
doing and take care of them. The Samurai Nobodies have fun Duel Stance
reaction commands where you have to find "The End" in the command menu in the
short time that it shows up. If you do, you will slash it and kill it.
Use Potions when necessary, and remember to take advantage of the Blizzard
spell. For beating this event battle, your Get Bonus is the Fire Element.
You are confronted by many members of the Org (while enjoying the tune
Another Side), and they taunt you. Then one appears directly in front of
you and confuses the hell out of Sora. You use the Membership Card to
obtain the gate to new worlds and obtain Secret Ansem's Report 7.
You appear on your Gummi Ship, so dash over to the Asteroid Sweep and do
the Gummi Ship Mission, which will lead you to The Land of Dragons.

You will start off by scaring the crap out of Mushu and meeting Ping. Ping
has to be in your party, so make sure Goofy is in it. You want to be able
to use Valor in this world. You can now switch your party members in the
middle of battle. There are three chests in the Bamboo Grove area containing
an Ether, a Hi-Potion, and a Mythril Shard. There is also a holographic Moogle
Shop where yo can synthesise or buy stuff. Drop off your synthesis items,
save, and head on out.
Head to where the soldiers are lined up and watch Sora get punched in the face.
After the scene, you need to battle the Heartless in the area while keeping
your morale up. This can be tricky, so whenever there are orbs on the ground,
pick them up, and try to protect Ping when you can, because he, I mean she,
will get hit the most. Afterwards, you haveto prove that Ping is suitable
for the Imperial Army by doing 3 missions. You obtain the Encampment Area Map
after talk to the Captian.
Before doing the missions, there are a few treasure chests you should take
care of. They are in the Checkpoint Area. This area has pretty strong Heart-
less, so if you are not at level 10 yet, I suggest fighting here until you
are. The two chests in the area conatin a Mythril Shard and a Potion. When you
are ready, ask the Captian about the missions.
________________________________________________________
| Mission: The Suprise Attack |
|--------------------------------------------------------|
Fight the Heartless while keeping your morale up.
Unless you are positive you aren't going to make it,
refrain from using Valor.
|--------------------------------------------------------|
________________________________________________________
| Mission: The Ambush |
|--------------------------------------------------------|
Fight some Nightwalkers and Shadows, and Assault
Riders will come in to the picture. These guys are
tough and will kill you before you know it. Use
blizzard magic on them to keep HP and morale high.
|--------------------------------------------------------|
________________________________________________________
| Mission: The Search |
|--------------------------------------------------------|
Use R1 to find hidden enemies around the camp. Once
you kill the first one, the next one should come out
of hiding. Each time you kill one, another near by
should appear.
|--------------------------------------------------------|
Afer completing the missions, you get an AP Boost for your trouble.
Head back to the Bamboo Grove and save, then return to the Checkpoint and
go to the newly opened area. You need to make it to the village before your
Morale Gauge runs out, which isn't easy. Push through the enemies and use the
reaction command twice on the wall to break it. After doing this again, you
are in an open area with many chests. DO NOT OPEN ANY CHESTS. They will lead
you off path and you morale will run out. Instead, go to the right and go up
to the rock wall and break it, then move onward.
Your Morale Gauge is officially gone, yay! You recieve the Village Area Map.
Now, before we track down Shan-Yu, its time to go back to the Mountain
Trail and get those chests that we skipped. Head right and hop onto a platform
with an Ether and Recovery Recipe. Jump down and run to reach a ledge with a
Mythril Shard in a chest on it. Down near the way to Checkpoint is the last
chest in the area containing a Hi-Potion.
Back at the Village, drop off your items at the Moogle shop and go North on
the map to a save point on your left. Opposite the save point is the cave
Mushu saw Shan-Yu go into. Head in, picking up a Hi-Potion and AP Boost while
in there. Continue forward to find you've been trapped.
This is quite a hard Event Battle. You are trapped and have to dispatch of
the Heartless with just Ping. The first wave conatins a bunch of Shadows and
one Assualt Rider. Go straight for him to take him out quickly with Blizzard
and combo attacks. The second wave contains two Assault Riders, so it
is best to let Ping try to take them while you blast away with Blizzard.
Try to use the Shadows as your source of HP for the first wave so you can
save your Potions for the two Assault Riders. The Get Bonuses for this battle
are the useful Slide Dash Ability for Sora, and an HP Increase and the Ability
Hyper Healing for Ping.
Watch the events that follow, and then save your game and equip Slide Dash.
Head up the mountain when you are ready. The Ridge has two chests, one
containing a Hi-Potion and the other containing an AP Boost. The Rapid
Thrusters can be taken out with ease using the Speed Trap and Aero Blade
reaction commands. You can ride the wind to get to them if they go too high.
In the next area, you have to kill as many Heartless as you can within
the time limit. The reaction commands I mentioned above greatly help with
this. There is a new Heartless, Bolt Tower, too. You can only damage
it by hitting it's tiny head. If you get caught in it's beam, hit triangle
as fast as you can to shoot the beam back at it, killing it and Heartless
near it.
After watching the events that follow, Mulan recieves her Limit Command
Dragonblaze, but unequip Auto Limit for now. Head back to the ridge and
watch the scene, and then head back to the Village and save your game. Make
sure you have a MAX drive guage, and head to the Checkpoint and use the newly
opened door to get to the Imperial City.
After you view the scenes, you have to battle some Heartless. Don't use Valor
here, but Mulan's Limit works well. Before heading to the Palace Entrance,
equip Auto Limit on Mulan.

| Goofy - Goofy Turbo! Ability |

|--------------------------------------------------------|
As soon as the battle starts, use Mulan's Limit, then
Valor Form, then Mulan's Limit again. He should only
have one life bar of health now. Now just attack him
one on one, and if you lock blades, use the reaction
commands to over power him. Just watch out for his
falcon, and thats it. You should kill him way before
the gates come even close to being breached by the
Heartless.
|--------------------------------------------------------|
The prize for defeating Shan-Yu and the Land of Dragons is the Hidden
Dragon Keyblade. I don't know about you, but right now, I equip Star
Seeker as my main weapon and Kingdom Key as my secondary
Keyblade. If you want to, take a trip back to HB to stock up if you
used a lot of items, but if not, then head on into the Stardust Sweep
Gummi Ship Mission, which will lead you to Beast's Castle...
I wonder what that abusive monster has been up to?

Once you enter Beast's Castle, Heartless fill the room, and you have to fight
them all until the Beast comes. Watch the events, drop off your synthesis
items, and then save your game.
Head in the direction that Donald saw Belle at, the right staircase. After the
scene, open the two chests containing a Mythril Shard and Castle Map, and then
save. Head back into the East Wing and get ready to fight some Heartless,
including the uber-annoying Large Body. To kill him, get behind him and do a
combo. The last hit of the combo should make him fly into the air, so be sure
to use the Full Swing reaction command to take a big chunk of it's life away.
Once it gets hit enough times, it will go into a Berserk-type mode and try to
ram you. Using the Guard and Kickback reaction commands should stop, and
probably kill this Heartless. the chests in the East Wing contain a Tent and a
Hi-Potion.
Once back in the Entrance Hall, head out the main doors and into the Courtyard
for some chests and Heartless. The chests contain a Mythril Shard, Hi-Potion,
and AP Boost. Once back inside, head up the left staircase and enter the door.
After the scene, take care of the chests in the area. Run behind you, and in
the suits of armor area, there are two chests, containing a Mythril Shard and
Hi-Potion. Head back to where you started, and to your left is a Drive
Recovery. Straight across the dresser are two chests, containing a Tent and
Mythril Shard. You can also see a treasure chest up the stairs, but you can't
get past because of the suits of armor.
Head up to the left side of the dresser and tap the Move reaction command.
After the short scene, you have to use the Push reaction command to slowly
move the dresser. Once you do it enough, the command will disappear and turn
into Awaken, which you don't want to push. After she falls back asleep, use
the Push reaction command again. Watch the scene and head through the door.

| Boss Battle: Thresholder and Possessor |
|--------------------------------------------------------|
| HP: 137 |
| Threat: Medium |
| Get Bonus: |
| Sora - Upper Slash Ability |
| Donald - Donald Fire Ability |
| Goofy - Max HP Increase |
|--------------------------------------------------------|
Before taking on the gate, you have to defeat the
swarms of Heartless that it sends your way. You also
want to do this toward the back of the room, becuase
the Tresholder has a very long reach, and can swipe
at you with it's claws. Approach the gate to make a
swarm of Gargoyles appear, so take those out toward
the back of the room. Approach it again for a bunch
of Hook Bats. Be sure to use the reaction command on
them if available. Approach one more time for another
swarm of Hook bats.
Once all the Heartless are taken care of, it is time
to take on the gate itself. Get to it's side, and use
Valor if it is available to inflict massive damage.
After it's HP is gone, use the reaction command and
the Possessor will come out, so be sure to attack it!
After it leaves, the Thresholder gets a new move where
it shoots projectiles at you. It is easy to avoid
though. Deplete Thresholder's HP again, and use the
reaction command again to release Possessor one final
time, and kill it. Make sure you brought plenty of
Potions for this battle.
NOTE: If you die on this battle, there is a chance
that King Mickey will come to save you if you choose
the "I Wont Give Up!" option after dying. You get to
play as Mickey, but he is relatively weak, so mainly
focus on healing Sora with the reaction command. The
King only has a few attacks, and kinda fights like
Yoda. There is a chance that he will save you more
than once in a battle, but it is not certain. The
more times you die and select Continue, the less
chance you have of him saving you.
|--------------------------------------------------------|
Enter the door to find the Beast's servants. After the scene, open the chests
containing the Basement Map and an AP Boost. Save your game and head back into
the Undercroft.
The enchanted servants are on top of a balcony of sorts, so hop on the dressers
and such to make it up to them. Talk to Cogsworth, and he will make the suits
of armor get out of the way to reveal the Secret Passage. You have to light all
the lanterns with the help of Lumiere and Mrs. Potts, while Cogsworth hangs on
a lever that keeps the lanterns down. When he runs out of energy, the lanterns
will go up. If he does fall of exhaustion, run over to him and use the reaction
commands. When you are trying to light a lantern, it is impotant to know that
you have to wait for Mrs. Potts and Lumiere to get there too, or it will not
light. There are boxes that get in the way of your two tiny friends, so destroy
them to allow passage. Don't bother with the chests while lighting the
lanterns, as it takes time, and Cogsworth can't hang there forever. What I
don't understand is why Donald and Goofy didn't just stand there holding
Cogsworth's feet up to support him, but oh well.
After the scene, open the three chests in the area containing a Mythril
Shard, Hi-Potion, and Mega-Potion, the last of which is right before you
leave the Secret Passage. You can now get that treasure chest that was
un-reachable before, and it contains an AP Boost. The statues might
come alive and scare the crap out of you, but they are just Heartless, so kill
them. Once in the West Wing, head up to the Beast's Room while getting the
chests containing a Tent and Mythril Shard.
________________________________________________________
| Boss Battle: The Beast |

| HP: 156 |
| Threat: Low |
| Get Bonus: |
| Sora - Armor Slot |
| Donald - Max HP Increase |
| Goofy - Defender Ability |
|--------------------------------------------------------|
This is a very, very easy battle. Lock-On and bash at
him while always using the Wake Up reaction command
when it is available. After using this for a number
of times, you have to recharge Cogsworth by repeatedly
tapping the triangle button, and he will send a great
sense of "What are you thinking?" into the Beast, and
end the battle.
|--------------------------------------------------------|
You can now place the Beast in your party, which I suggest you do so. If you
put him in your party, you might want to un-equip Auto-Limit for now. Open
the chest to get Mega-Recipe, save your game, and head on out back to Belle's
Room. Back in the West Hall, which is an absolutly great place to level up,
the suits of armor have moved, rendering the Secret passage completely useless.
Back in the Entrance Hall, you'll have to fight Lance Soldiers, which, in
my opinion, are the most annoying enemy in the first portion of the game. Jump
at the chance to use the Lance Tug reaction command to help destroy these
Heartless.
Once in Belle's Room, talk to the Wardrobe and watch the scene. Save your game
and then head out. Once back in the Entrance Hall, head through the doors that
are in between the two stair cases, and be prepared with Potions and a MAX
drive guage for a pretty tough Boss Battle, and make sure to equip Beast's
Auto-Limit now. I was level 15 walking into this battle.

| Boss Battle: Shadow Stalker/Dark Thorn |
|--------------------------------------------------------|
| HP: 176/390 |
| Threat: Medium |
| Get Bonus: |
| Sora - Max HP Increase, Retaliating Slash Ability |
| Donald - Max HP Increase |
| Goofy - Item Slot |
| Beast - Max HP Increase |
|--------------------------------------------------------|
The first form of this boss will possess the entire
Ballroom, so if you lose a Lock-On, be sure to get
behind the pillars before it does any attacks. It will
become the window and send shockwaves at you, so just
stay behind the pillars. When you see it go up, it
will possess the chandelier. Again, get behind the
pillars as it drops, and then jump in and attack when
you can. The Release reaction command is what ends
this move. It will then go into the ground, and follow
you around. It will try to eat you, so when you see it
under you, jump. It will then become the pillars and
scrape at you. Attack the dark pillar and then use
the reaction command to end this move. The Beast's
Limit is GREAT for when the Shadow Stalker isn't
possessing anything, but save Valor for the next part
of the fight.
As soon as the battle against Dark Thorn starts, use
Valor and unleash heavy damage, using Potions when
needed. After using Valor, it is a good idea to use
Beast's Limit, and he should only have about half a
health bar left. During this portion of the fight,
you might get caught in a three-step reaction command
where you crush Dark Thorn with the chandelier. If
Dark Thron throws you, use the reaction command when
you pass a pillar to sling-shot yourself back to him
and deal great damage.
|--------------------------------------------------------|
After defeating Dark Thorn, you use the rose to open up a new pathway and
recieve the much loved (and slightly changed) Cure Element. Before you can
head to the new world, you get sent back to Hollow Bastion. Please refer to
the 100 Acre Wood section under Side Missions/Other for this.

Notice that your Drive Gauge is locked with chains, and you can't use it in the
Underworld until you get the Olympus Stone. Go and help Meg, watch the scene,
drop off your synthesis items, buy Potions and weapons for Donald and Goofy,
and save your game. Head on through the door behind Meg to start your journey
through the Underworld.
You will encounter some weak Rabid Dogs, so dispose of them and continue
onward. Battle here to level up if you aren't at level 16 yet. When you reach
a fork, go left. the three treasure chests contain a Mythril Shard, an Ether,
and an AP Boost. When you get to the end of the stairs, make a U-turn and grab
the Hi-Potion from the chest. Turn back around and head straight, and be sure
to grab the Mythril Stone before leaving this area.
After the short scene, hit the two treasure chests for a Mythril Shard and the
Underworld Map. Save your game and continue to move into the Valley of The
Dead.
After the scene, head up the three platforms, while fighting the Heartless. Be
sure to use the Root Ravager command on the Creeper Plants. Head into Hades'
Chamber. Cue Auron. You can't harm Hades now, so attack him until you figure
that out. After the scene, you have to run from Hades while fighting Heartless.
Be sure to put Auron in your party, make sure Auto-Limit is equiped, and
make sure everyone has Potions. This can be THE hardest event battle in the
whole game if you are not prepared. Use Auron's Limit with triangle to clear
the first platform. Make sure you use Potions to heal so that you always have
MP for Auron's limit. Hades will stand by and shoot big fireballs at you, and
you still can not harm him. The wall will fall, so continue on to the second
platform. Here, be sure to use the Lance Tug reaction command every chance that
you get. You should be able to bring down the wall without using Auron's
limit again, so save it. Head to the third platform and dispose of the first
wave of Heartless, focusing on the Lance Soldiers first. When the second wave
appears (with a Large body), use Auron's limit and then take out the straglers.
Head on out of there as soon as the wall gets brought down.
Save, restock yourself and Auron with Potions, unequip Auto-Limit, and head
back toward the Cave of the Dead: Entrance. After all the scenes, you have to
fight Cerberus, and Donald and Goofy don't get to help you, so it's just you
and Auron.

| Boss Battle: Cerberus |
|--------------------------------------------------------|
| HP: 440 |
| Threat: Low |
| Get Bonus: |
| Sora - Dodge Slash Ability |
| Auron - Max HP Increase |
|--------------------------------------------------------|
At the start of the battle, Cerberus will leap, and
you need to jump over the shockwave it creates. It
might spin around when it does this, so jump over it's
tail. Once it is facing you, target one of the outside
heads and attack, attack, attack. Cerberus doesn't go
up to bite at you after a certain number of hits like
he did in KHI, so it is easier to just wail on him.
Unlike the battle in KHI, you can NOT jump up onto
it's back. Heal with Potions and Cure when needed, but
do it from far away, because Cerberus doesn't walk
around anymore, and can't just follow you. It will
shoot weak fireballs at you though, but they are easy
to avoid. Don't go TOO far, or else Cerberus will jump
again.
After a bit of abuse, Cerberus will bash it's two
outer heads together, smashing Sora. Use this
oppurtunity to use the three reaction commands on it.
It will fall down with it's heads on the ground,
dazed. Now is a PERFECT time to use Auron's limit
and inflict massive damage. Cerberus isn't too tough
and he should go down in no time.
|--------------------------------------------------------|
After the scene, save, and head on up to the Coliseum. After seeing Hercules,
he promises to go off to get the Olympus Stone for you, but he has a match
first, so he suggests training with good 'ol Phil. You recieve the Coliseum
Map. Save and then head on out into the oh-so-familiar battle stage. Talk to
Phil.

|--------------------------------------------------------|
Talk to Herc. After the scenes, go back to the Underworld. Open the chest that
is now accesible for a Power Boost, and then save your game. Head into the new
area. Walking foward, you will fall. Take care of the new Heartless and then
turn around. Hop up onto the ledge and open the chest for a Mythril Shard.
Head straight into the Lost Road.
After the short scene, head foward and go right to open a chest with an Ether.
Go up the middle path and open the chest containing a Hi-Potion. Head through
the path and to a different part of the Underworld Caverns: Entrance and grab
the Hi-Potion and AP Boost without falling off. Head back.
Go left and open the chest to recieve a Mythril Stone in this identical area.
Take the middle path and open the chest containing a Mythril Shard. Go left
from the chest and then right to reach the Atrium. Head left for a Tent. Go
up the ramps and hop to the floating platform for an AP Boost. Hop back and
head up the stairs and into Demyx. Watch the scene and get ready for a rather
strange battle.

You need to destroy 100 water minions in 1:20. The
trick to doing this is the Wild Dance reaction
commands. Hit a minion until the command pops up, and
then tap it repeatedly to kill many minions at once.
DANCE WATER, DANCE!
|--------------------------------------------------------|
With Demyx defeated, you obtain the Olympus Stone and Secret Ansem's
Report 5. The Olympus Stone allows you to finally drive in the Underworld,
yay! In the Lock, open the three chests for a Mythril Shard, an AP Boost, and
the long over-due Caverns Map. Save your game and then Go To The Rescue. After
the scene, jump into the green beam of light.

| Sora - Trinity Limit Ability |
| Donald - Max HP Increase |
| Goofy - Hyper Healing Ability |
|--------------------------------------------------------|
First off, you need to destroy the Hook Bats and make
sure Meg doesn't recieve too much damage. Use the Bat
Cry reaction commands to make quick work of the Heart-
less. Then, it is on to Pete. He isn't too much of
a threat, so just wail on him. After a while, he will
summon some Shadows, so make quick work of them and
get back on Pete. When he puts a barrier up, just run
around and avoid him. This part of the battle will
end before you defeat him.
Meg gets taken to safety and Herc comes to give you
a helping hand.
This part has a 2:00 time limit, which isn't too bad
if you don't dwaddle. You can knock Pete into Herc
when he has his barrier up with the Pinball reaction
command. Just go Valor and wail on the fatty.
|--------------------------------------------------------|
After the scene, restock, save, and head out, up to the Coliseum for one of the
funnest boss fights in the whole game.
________________________________________________________
| Boss Battle: Hydra |
|--------------------------------------------------------|
| HP: 462 |
| Threat: Medium |
| Get Bonus: |
| Sora - Max HP Increase, Thunder Element |
| Donald - Armor Slot |
| Goofy - Max HP Increase |
|--------------------------------------------------------|
Something to know before you start is that to your far
left is Meg, and if you run to her, she will through
you HP and Drive balls. The fight starts out with the
Hydra having just one head, so watch out for it's tail
and the lighting bolts it summons, and attack when it
lowers it's head. When the hydra is stunned, run up
to it's neck and use the Vanquish reaction command to
cut off it's head. To anyone who has seen the movie,
it is no suprise that three more grow in it's place.
They are sticking up above the ground, so you need to
GET UP ON THE HYDRA'S BACK!!! and use the reaction
commands to stun it. Then, jump down and attack one of
the heads, using Vanquish when it's HP is gone. Repeat
this twice.
When the Hydra pulls out of the ground headless, watch
out, because seven are now going to grow. Watch out
for when the Hydra pounds it's heads onto the ground,
because that can cause some hefty damage. It will also
start to shoot black spirit-like things, so watch out
for those as well. When the Hydra lowers it's head
attack and use Valor if your drive guage is full. When
the heads pull back up, watch out for the head slam-
ming again.
Toward the end of the battle, Pegasus will come to
help in the form of the Pegasus Run reaction command
in which you fly around attacking each head. Be sure
to tap triangle like crazy while you are on Pegasus.
After it's HP is gone, use one final Vanquish reaction
command to kill the beast.
|--------------------------------------------------------|
After you open a pathway to new worlds, you recieve the awesome Hero's Crest
keyblade. I equip this as my main weapon and Star Seeker as my secondary. There
is something happening down in Disney Castle, which you FINALLY get to go to,
so head on over. You don't have to play a Gummi Mission to get there either,
YAY!

After ariving, watch the scene and save your game. Head up the stairs and into
the Courtyard. This place is just swarming with Heartless, including new
Minute Bomb Heartless. after attacking them, a countdown begins, so make sure
to use the Dodge Roll reaction command to get out of the way. There are many
chests in this area. A Hi-Potion, the Star Recipe, a Mythril Shard, an AP
Boost, an Ether, a Mythril Stone, and another Mythril Shard. Dang that was a
lot. Head on into the new area after you have gotten all the chests and
disposed of all the Heartles.
In the Colonnade, there is a seemingly endless number of Shadows, so if you
are not quite level 18, right here is a great place to level up. After you've
had your fill of fighting, head into the only accesible place at the moment,
the Library. Inside and to your right is a chest with Torn Pages from Pooh's
Book. After completing Disney Castle, please refer to the 100 Acre Wood
section under Side Missions/Other for Piglet's House. Approach Queen
Minnie Mouse and watch the scene. You recieve the Disney Castle Map. Drop
off any synthesis items, stock up on anything, save, and head back to the
Colonnade.
Minnie has taken a few lessons from Yen Sid, and can defend herself with
energy balls. Her and Sora have a devastating Co-Op attack called Faith, in
which all Heartless surrounding the two will be thrown back. You need to
be standing next to Minnie to use Faith. All you need to do is get Queen
Minnie to the door in the middle of the Colonnade which leads to the Audience
Chamber. Run forward, call her over, use Faith, repeat. Make sure Queen
Minnie's damage gauge doesn't fill up or else it is Game Over. Once at the
door, use the Finish command. Now that wasn't too hard was it?
After the scene, go into the Audience Chamber. You need to defeat all of
those Bolt Towers, and while it seems overwhelming, it is actually a very,
very, easy thing to do. Run foward a bit, call Minnie over, and use Faith.
A bunch of Bolt Towers will be thrown back. Now just stand there. The Bolt
Towers will come back at you, so whenever any get too close, just use Faith
again. It might take a few minutes, but this is the easiest way to get rid of
all those Bolt Towers. When there is only a few left, go ahead and wail on
them with the keyblade. After they are all dispatched, run up to Mickey's
throne and use the Finish command again. The Get Bonus for this event battle
is an Accessory Slot and the Auto Summon Ability.
After all the scenes, save, return to the World Map, and go to Hollow Bastion.
After the scene, open the door that Merlin conjoured up.

Woah...welcome to the 1920's. After the scene, open the two chests in the area
for the Cornerstone Hill Map and a Drive Recovery. Drop off any synthesis
items, stock up, and save. You can't go anywhere but the Pier right now, so
do so. There are two chests in this area, one containing a Hi-Potion and one
containing a Mythril Shard. Use the Punish reaction command on Pete to initiate
a cut-scene and battle. This isn't really a boss battle because Pete is some
blundering fool who thinks he can take you on. Just wail on him, and if a
reaction command comes up, use it.
After the scenes, head into the Wharf. This is a great place to level up
Valor Form using the Drive Glitch. This is explained in the Glitches/Tricks
section under Other. In the next area, the Waterway, there are three chests
containing an AP Boost, a Mythril Stone, and a Hi-Potion. Head back to Corner-
Stone Hill, save your game, and enter the door to the far left.
In this scenario, the Building Site, you have to fight all of the Heartless
before the Mayhem Gauge fills up. There is a new Heartless, the Hammerframe.
After a while, everyone will start to bounce up in the air, so use aerial
attacks and the Air Slash reaction command if it comes up. Watch the scene
and then enter the second door.
In this scenario, the Lilliput, you have to protect the town before the
air-type Heartless and Hammerframes destroy it. The castle esque thing in the
middle provides a useful reaction command. After the scene, enter the third
door.
This scenario, the Scene of the Fire, is by far the most difficult. You
have to deal with Shadows, and then a new type of Heartless, Hot Rods. After
their HP gets about half way down, they will charge at Sora three times,
so jump over them. If you do get hit by them, it will reduce your HP quicker
than you can say "But I really want to go to Disney World this year!" Valor
form helps in taking out the Hot Rods quickly. Watch the scene and then enter
the fourth and final door.
In Mickey's House, there is some wierd vortex thing in the middle. All you
have to do is take out the Shadows and Rapid Thrusters before the Mayhem
Gauge fills up. Easy. After the scene, you recieve the Window of Time Map.
Save and head into the Waterway. In this event battle, you have to get the
Cornerstone of Light back from future Pete, who is riding around in 1920's
Pete's boat. Future Pete will throw stuff at you, so use the reaction commands
to knock them back at him. After hitting him about four times, the boat will
spin out of control and end up on the shore, so run up and use the reaction
command on the hook to grab onto it. Smash at the cage holding the Cornerstone
and after a while, the hook will go crazy, so use the Hang On command to stay
on it. After doing that, the hook will throw you off and Heartless will appear.
Take care of them quickly and then grab back on the hook and repeat. Make sure
you take care of this before Pete wakes back up, or he might escape.
The Get Bonuses for this battle are the Slapshot Ability for Sora, the
Fantasia! and Auto Limit Abilities for Donald, and a Max HP Increase for Goofy.
After the scene, head back to Cornerstone Hill and save, make sure you have a
MAX Drive Gauge, and then head into the Wharf. Head on over to where the two
Petes are fighting.

|--------------------------------------------------------|
The good Pete helps you fight in this battle. Pete
will throw down his little bombs just like last time,
and a lot of the time Pete is doing something where
you won't be able to damage him. You can use good
Pete by hitting him into bad Pete or use the About-
Face reaction command to chuck him at bad Pete.
Pete will transport everyone to the Windows of Time
after a certain amount of his HP is gone. The order
he transports you in is Scene of the Fire, Mickey's
House, Lilliput, and the Building Site. By the last
two areas, Pete will start using his shield. The
Building Site is a great area to use Valor Form to
inflict massive damage while air-bourne. The Air Slash
reaction command also damages Pete to a great extent.
|--------------------------------------------------------|
After the scene, you recieve the Monochrome keyblade (which I put as my
secondary weapon). After more scenes, you recieve the ability to use Wisdom
Form, and the Pain and Panic Cup opens at the Underdrome in Olympus Coliseum.
If you want to, head to Hollow Bastion to put those new pages in Pooh's Book.
You can also participate in that tournament, but it isn't going anywhere, and
it's kind of hard now, so you might want to level up a little first. Head on
over to the Atlantica section under Side Missions/Other for that section of
the game.
After doing a few, all, or none of those three things, head into the Floating
Island Gummi Mission to reach Port Royal.

You ever dance with the Devil in the pale moonlight? o.O
After the scene, open the three chests around the area for the Naval Map, an
Ether, and a Mythril Stone. Save and go down the stairs near the save point.
After the scene, you must defeat the pirates. You'll find that you can't hurt
them right now, so just hit them until the scene. You always have to lure
pirates into moonlight to be able to hurt them, but in this battle, the whole
place in covered in moonlight. Use the Return Fire reaction command whenever
a pirate tries to shoot at you to knock the bullet back at him.
After the short conversation, head into town after the pirates. You have to
fight three waves of Heartless, which isn't too bad. The third wave includes
a new Heartless, the Cannon Gun, which, if given enough time, will try to shoot
a missle at you. This is easily avoidable though. After talking to Will Turner,
you will want to search the Town for treasure chests. Turn left and go down an
alley, then defeat the Heartless and break the wall to your right for a chest
with an AP Boost. Down the alley a bit more is a chest with a Mythril Shard.
Across from where you found the first chest is a bunch of junk, so break it,
and head foward. When you reach the four way intersection, take a right for
a chest with an Ether, and then turn arond and break the wall to your right
for a chest with a Mythril Gem. That's it for the Town, so head back to the
Harbor to meet the most daring pirate to ever sail the seas, Captain Jack
Sparrow.
Put Capn' Sparrow in your party. Talk to Will. After the scene, you are on the
Interceptor. Head to into the Ship's Hold for a moogle and save point. Head
back out and talk to Jack, and tell him to sail for the Black Pearl. You
get ambushed by Air and Undead Pirates, but the battle is very simple and
shouldn't take you much longer than ten seconds. After the scenes, you end up
on Isle de Muerta. After you are finally in control, save and move foward.
After defeating the Heartless, open the two chests in the area for an Ether
and a Mythril Shard. Head forward.
After the scene, you have to fight off the pirates and survive for a minute
if you want the experience, just kill them. Watch the scene. You recieve the
Isle de Muerta Map. Talk to Will and he says head back to Port Royal, so do
so. You get ambushed, so just take out the pirates. Watch the scene, and
get ready for an event battle.
Pirates will hop over to your ship and try to take the medallion. The Pearl
will also shoot at you with cannons, which you can delay if you want, by firing
back, but it isn't necessary. The cannon balls are easy to dodge because of
the giant target that forms on deck. If a pirate happens to hit you enough,
it might get the coin. You then have a minute to get it back from him, who will
have a bubble over his head, or it is Game Over. Be sure you run over it when
it is on the ground to pick it back up. This is a great battle for leveling up.
The get Bonuses for this battle are Max HP Increases for Sora and Goofy and the
Draw Ability for Donald.
After the scenes, select who you want in your party and save. Get ready for
another event battle, and then head up to the Interceptor. This is actually
pretty easy if you know what to do. There are five powder kegs on the Deck,
and you have to se a reaction command on each one of them. Heartless will
attack you, but igore them and focus on the kegs. There are three in front
of you, which you should take care of first, and two behind you. The Get
Bonuses for this battle are an Item Slot for Sora, Max Hp Increases for Donald
and jack, and the Second Chance Ability for Goofy.
You end up back on Isle de Muerta, so head foward until you reach a new area,
the Powder Store. Almost all the boxes you come across will explode, and most
have Undead Pirates in them. There is actually only two treasure chests in this
area, one behind the first stack of boxes to the left, containing an AP Boost,
and on behind the very last stack of boxes, containing another AP Boost.
In the next area, Moonlight Nook, deal with all the Undead Pirates and then
open the three chests for a Mythril Shard, a Mega-Potion and an Ether. If you
don't have close to a MAX drive gauge, use some Drive Recoveries now. Make sure
you are stocked on Potions and have Jack's Auto Limit on. Head North for a
scene and a boss fight.

| Boss Battle: Barbossa |

| Get Bonus: |
| Sora - Drive Gauge Powered Up, Aerial Finish Ability |
| Donald - Max HP Increase |
| Goofy - Teamwork Ability, Auto Limit Ability |
| Jack - Max HP Increase |
|--------------------------------------------------------|
Your main priority at the begining of the battle is
the Illuminator Heartless, which darkens the room and
makes it so you can't damage, or see, Barbossa. The
lizard-like creature is on a wall somewhere, so find
it. It has glowing eyes, which makes the task pretty
easy. Wail on it until it's HP is gone and the room
is lit again.
Use Jack's Limit on Barbossa as soon as you can damage
him, then use Valor and wail on him in the moonlight.
When Barbossa summons another Illuminator, seek it out
and quickly eliminate it. Once Valor is used up, use
Jack's Limit again.
Barbossa will throw bombs and occasionally use his gun
to shoot at you from a distance. He can hurt you a
great deal with his sword, so if a reaction command
oppurtunity comes up, use it to inflict massive
damage.
|--------------------------------------------------------|
After opening a path to two new worlds, Sora recieves the Follow The Wind key-
blade, which I never use. Head on over to the Ancient Highway Gummi Mission
to reach a familiar world, Agrabah.

After the very Return of Jafar-like-type scenes, you have to fight new Heart-
less, the Luna Bandit, and some familiar Shadows. Keep fighting until the
scene, after which, you recieve the Agrabah Map. Inside the Peddler's Shop,
do your thing at the Moogle, save, and head outside.
There are no enemies in this area right now for some reason, so use this
oppurtunity to grab all of the chests. Straight ahead is some stairs, so run
up and grab the chest containing a Hi-Potion. Directly across from it is
another chest containing a Mythril Shard. Turn around and run straight until
you reach a chest containing a Drive Recovery. Turn left and jump on the ledge.
Turn right for a chest with a Mythril Shard. From that chest, run foward a
little and turn left for a chest with an AP Boost. Hop out of the little box
and go back to where the previous chest was and make a right to reach a chest
with a Mythril Stone. Go across from where that little box was and hop down
and go foward, then hop up again, for a Mega-Ether.
Look on your map for the nearest exit, which is the Palace.
"Sora, Donald, Goofy!" said by Jasmine sounded really horribly done in my
opinion.
Watch all the scenes until you have control. Heartless are back, along with
the new Silver Rock. They are pretty tough, so use the reaction commands
whenever you can to make thing easier for yourself. Head to the Peddler's
Shop now. Watch the scene. Take the nearest exit to the Bazaar, which is the
tunnel right in front of you.
Clear the area of Heartless, which include a very annoying enemy, the Fat
Bandit, which many of you should remember from the first game. They have
the same reaction commands as the Large Bodys, so fight them the same, but
in this game you can deflect the fire balls they shoot at you using Guard
or Reflect Magic. From where you came from, hop up onto the pink scaffolding
and hop up onto the box to get a Mythril gem. Hop down, run foward, and
then turn left for a chest with a Hi-Potion. To the left of that is a chest
with an AP Boost. Almost hidden behind that chest is another with a Mythril
Shard. The last chest in the area is right by the exit and contains a Hi-
Potion. Head out the exit now.
In the Palace Walls area, grab the two chest containing a Mythril Stone and
Skill Ring and then save. Head out to where you can see a dark, twirling cloud.
Surrounding the Cave of Wonders are two chests containing a Drive Recovery and
a Mythril Shard. Head inside the Cave. In the Valley of Stone area, which has
a bunch of blocks coming out of the ground, there are some new Heartless. The
Fortunetellers don't pose much of a threat, and Fiery Globes are just point-
less. The chest in this area contain a Hi-Potion, a Mythril Shard, a Mythril
Stone, and an AP Boost. You also have to fight two Fat Bandits at the end of
this area, so keep your wits up and don't die.
In the Stone Gaurdians area, run up and examine the floating jewel and then
the pedistal hole. After the scene, you have to do a really easy little event
battle. You have to guide Abu to the pedistal. Run foward using the Go Abu!
reaction commands when you can. When ice shards come up, dispose of them. When
pillars come up, use the Jump Abu! reaction command to get Abu to jump over
them, but don't forget to jump yourself! Take your time on this, it really is
easy. Use the Set the jewel! reaction command once you reach the pedistal. The
Get Bonuses for this battle are Max HP Increases for Sora, Goofy, and Aladdin,
and the Donald Blizzard! Ability for Donald.
After the short scene, save and head into the new area. Run up and activate the
strange sign thing. You have to kill many Heartless on platforms in 2 minutes.
The only real challenge here are the Fat Bandits, so remember to ALWAYS use
the reaction command after you do a combo on them. You have to fight a new
Heartless here, the Icy Cubes, but just like the Fiery Globes, they are easy
and pointless. Open the two chests for the Cave of Wonders Map and an AP Boost,
examine the sign, and save. You can step into that circle of light to be
transported back to the start of the Challenge if you, for whatever reason,
want to do it again. Head into the newly opened door.
Yay, another easy event battle! Pete leaves 50 Heartless for your to take care
of, and it is very easy to do so. The last three are all Fat Bandits though,
so be on your toes. The Get Bonuses for this battle are Max HP Increases for
Sora, Donald, and Aladdin, and the Auto Healing Ability for Goofy. Return to
this Treasure Room whenever you find the time for two chests containing a
Serenity Shard and an AP Boost.
After the scenes, stock up and be prepared for a boss battle, and then head to
the Palace.

| Sora - Explosion Ability |

|--------------------------------------------------------|
In this battle, you are facing off against two
different Heartless at the same time. They are of
opposite elements, so use the reaction commands when-
ever they pop up to throw them into each other. You
can also damage them with Blizzard or Fire manually.
A good thing to do is to use Aladdin's Limit whenever
you can, particularly right before and after Wisdom
or Valor form. Focus on one boss at a time, and don't
let a different one side track you.
After heavy damage, the Lord will burst into the
corrisponding Fiery Globes or Icy Cubes, so take care
of those as quickly as possible. This is really easy
battle and you shouldn't have any trouble at all.
|--------------------------------------------------------|
With Genie back and Agrabah at peace, all seems well. Be sure to equip the
extremely useful Explosion ability you just got the next chance you get! You
get the Lamp Charm and get sent back to your Gummi ship. Twilight Town is ready
for you, but you aren't ready for it! Refrain from going to TT until completing
the next two worlds, or else you will skip them and won't be able to acess them
for a while. Head through the Broken Highway Gummi Mission to reach Halloween
Town.

After landing, watch the scenes, and open the two chests in the area, which
contain a Mythril Shard and a Hi-Potion. You can't go anywhere but where Zero
went, so follow him into Halloween Town Square. After the scenes, you end up
in Dr. Finlestein's Lab. Grab the Halloween Town Map from the chest, save, and
head out.
You have to fight an event battle here, that includes a new Heartless, Whight
Knights. Go ahead and drive toward the end of this battle, you'll be able to
get your drive guage back to MAX in a second. Watch the scene. If you are in
a drive form, hurry and run back into Dr. Finklestein's Lab and enter the
World Map real quick. Head back. The chests in Halloween Town Square contain
a Mythril Stone and Mega-Potion. The gullitone, vents, fountain, and gate in
this area are all booby trapped to hit you, but none of it does any damage.
Head back to the Graveyard to find a bunch of Heartless. Along with them,
another new Heartless, the Driller Mole. Don't fret though, they aren't a
threat. The tombstones may drop on you, but they contain drive orbs.
NOTE: A great way to level up your drive forms is to go to the save point in
Dr. Finklestein's Lab, head to the World Map, come back, enter the Square,
drive, battle the Heartless here and in the Graveyard, run back to the save
point while still in a dive mode, and repeat. Each time you enter the World
Map in a drive mode, you return with a full Drive Gauge.
In the Hinterlands, there are three chests, which contain an AP-Boost, a Hi-
Potion, and a Mythril Stone. Examine the door shaped like a Christmas Tree.
On Yultide Hill, go to the Moogle Shop, drop off your synthesis items, stock
up, exit, and save. Head into Candy Cane Lane.
Another Event Battle! This one yet again includes ANOTHER new Heartless, the
Toy Soldier, and these things are hard! Try to get these things up in the air
so you can go all at them with Aerial attacks. You can use the carasel in the
center of the area to damae enemies that are close to it. After the scene,
open the four chests in the area containing a Hi-Potion, Mythril Gem, Ether,
and a Mythril Stone by Santa's House. When your ready, head on in.
Watch the amusing cut-scene. Open the chests containin an AP Boost and the
Christmas Town Map, then save. Head into the new area and watch all the
scenes. Follow the footprints back to the Graveyard. Before entering the
Curly Hill, equip your party with Potions, and make sure you have a MAX
Drive Gauge.

This boss will, uh, swallow the three trick or treat-
ers and the way it attacks will change with who it
swallows. This fight is about being up in this things
face and not lettin it get too far away from you. It
has a lot of HP, so this will be a long battle. When-
ever it tries to swallow a kid, use the Inside Combo
reaction command to stun it. While this boss's frontal
attacks are difficult to dode and counter, it's
projectile attacks are easy to guard or avoid. If it
flies really high up into the air, run up the hill,
jump, and lay a combo on it.
A great way to deal a lot of damage is to use Jack's
Limit, then Valor, then Jack's Limit again. You should
have a bunch of Potions, so reserve magic power for
Jack's Limit.
Toward the end of the battle, the Prison Keeper will
swallow all three children, and use all of it's
attack's up to this point. You'll probably end up
getting to use a drive form twice in this battle.
NOTE: At this point in the game, especially if it
hasn't happened already, you have a good chance of
driving into Antiform in this battle. This is actually
a good thing, as it's super fast aerial attacks will
gradually whither away Prison Keeper's health, while
leavin it unable to attack.

After the fight, head back to Santa's House. Save, and head into the Toy
Factory.

This is a very indirect boss battle, just like Oooie's
first one. You are on one of three conveyor belts,
which are moving in the opposite direction you are,
and have spkies at the end. Oogie is up in a glass box
above one of the conveyor belts. If it is not on your
side, use the boxes at the front when they are blue to
switch sides.
When a box comes onto the belt, use triangle to knock
it up and hit Oogie. After doing this about ten times,
Oogie will fall out of the box and be dazed for a
short amount of time. Pound away at him with every-
thing you have, Limits, Drives, w/e. After a few
combos, he will go back up into the glass box.
Aside from boxes, Oogie will also send exploding dice
and a fist to hurt you. Jump away from the dice and
jump past the fist when you can. He will also send
purple boxes, which contain Heartless. Don't get side-
tracked into fighting them, because you will end up
at the end of the belt and will get hurt by the
spikes. Your partners will handle them just fine.
Toward the end of the battle, Oogie will switch belts
a lot and send this wierd lightning attack down upon
you. These are difficult to avoid once hit by, and
they will destroy the boxes you need to get Oogie
down.
He has two health bars, so you will need to knock him
down about four or five times to win this battle.
|--------------------------------------------------------|
After all the scenes, you recieve the Magnet Element. Head over to the
Atlantica section and put that spell to use.

In the Pride Lands, you are, yep, you guessed it, a lion. That means NO
driving, so get confortable with Limits. Sora moves fast as a lion, and
attacks from front to back.
Open the three chests for a Mythril Stone, an Ether, and the Savannah Map.
Save your game and head out into the Elephant Graveyard. You have to fight
two Living Bones here, which are pretty tough Heartless. If the Rodeo reaction
command pops up, USE IT! At the end of it use the Grand Cross reaction command
to inflict major damage. After the scene, you have some chest hunting to do.
Directly in front of you is a Hi-Potion. Turn right twice to reach a chest with
an AP Boost. Turn around and go forward for a Mythril Shard, and then hop up
the ledge for a Mythril Stone. There is an Ether by the exit.
Run North across the Savannah, while fighting Heartless, to reach Pride Rock.
Watch the scenes. Do a 180 and run forward for a chest with the Pride Rock Map.
From here, turn around and directly under Pride Rock is a chest with a Mythril
Stone. Turn left from here and run forward to reach a Mega-Ether. The place
by the exit contains a save point, so go there and save now. Head out of Stone
Hollow and Pride Rock and watch the scene.
Back on the Savannah, head to the left-most (right on the map) exit to reach
Wildebeest Valley. After the scenes, and learning the Dash Ability, there are
many chests for you to open. Run forward for a chest with a Hi-Potion. From
here, run right and forward a little to reach a chest with a Mythril Stone.
From here, run in between the rock formations to your left to reach an AP
Boost. Run out a little and turn right for a Mythril Gem, and finally, there
is a chest with a Tent to the left of the exit.
Watch the scene. In the Wastelands, just dash away. Ignore or fight the Heart-
less, it's your descision. Along the way you'll find a Mythril Shard, Hi-
Potion, and a Mythril Stone. Once in the Jungle, open the three chests contain-
ing a Hi-Potion, Serenity Stone, and Mythril Stone while fighting Heartless.
When you're done, head into the Oasis.
After the scene, open the chest in the area for the Oasis Map, Torn Pages, and
an AP Boost. Drop off and stock up at the moogle shop, then head back to the
Jungle. Watch the scene and then go cheer up Simba. He joins your party, as you
recieve the uber awesome Circle of Life keyblade. Simba's Limit is your best
friend in this world, so get used to it. Save, and then head all the way back
to the Savannah. You lose Simba for he moment, but it is no mater. Save at
Stone Hollow and then head into the King's Den.

The hyenas will try to hurt Pumbaa, so don't let that
happen. At the start of the battle, Lock-On to one of
them and just attack. Use Potions when necessary. If
the hyenas are all attacking Pumbaa, call him over to
you with the reaction command. Pick off the hyenas one
at a time, and you'll do fine.
|--------------------------------------------------------|
After the battle, go back to Stone Hollow and save. Head back to the King's
Den. Make sure you have plenty of Potions, take a deep breath, and head up
to the Peak. After the scene, put Simba in your party, and make sure you
have Auto Limit on. Put Potions on everybody in your party.

Scar has become a Heartless, and a wicked fast one at
that! Simba, because of his Limit, is a great ally in
this battle. USE SIMBA'S LIMIT WHENEVER HUMANLY POSS-
IBLE. It is the key to doing major damage to Scar.
Whenever Scar starts to glow and get mean, Dash around
the arena to avoid him. If fire emerges from him,
just get as far away as possible and wait for him to
simmer down a little. If you ever get pinned, use
the Counter reaction command to push Scar off of you.
The trick here is pressure and patience when needed
if Scar is just normal, apply pressure with normal
attack and Simba's Limit. If he is going crazy, step
back or Dash around. It is pointless to try and hit
him when he is in one of these phases.
|--------------------------------------------------------|
For completing the Pride Lands, you get the Fire Element. This upgrades your
Fire spell to Fira. The Cerberus Cup opens up in the Olympus Coliseum, so you
can go do that whenever you want. Before going to TT, head back to Hollow
Bastion to put that new Torn Page in Pooh's Book.

After completing Beast's Castle, you get sent back to Hollow Bastion. Watch the
scenes, and then save your game. Enter the book to visit Winnie The Pooh. Once
in the book, go to the only place available, Pooh Bear's House. Hold in your
excitment for a few moments to open the three chests in the area containing an
AP Boost, Mythril Shard, and 100 Acre Wood Map. Talk to that lovable bear
fluffed with stuff. After the scenes, defeat all of the Heartless. Once back in
the book, go talk to Pooh again, only something isn't quite right. He has lost
all his memory AND you need to collect all the Torn Pages, AGAIN. You will find
these in chests that occupy the various worlds.
Once back outside, Merlin talks to you, and you recieve the Baseball Charm.
This allows you to summon Chicken Little, WHOOOOOPPEEEEE!!!! Anywho, after
returning to the World Map, head into the Phantom Storm Gummi Ship Mission
and then to Olympus Coliseum where you will need to GET UP ON THE HYDRA'S BACK!
________________________________________________________
| Piglet's House |
|--------------------------------------------------------|
After beating Disney Castle, head back to Merlin's
House and re-attach the pages that you found. Once in
the book, go to the new area, Piglet's house. After
the scene, but before rescuing Piglet, open the three
chests in the area for a Mythril Gem, AP Boost, and
Defense Boost. Walk up to Piglet and use the Rescue
command.
This Mini-Game, A Blustery Rescue, has you and Pooh
floating around on a balloon while nuts, trees, and
hunny pots fly at you. You have to hit these things
to get balls that give you points. Nuts take one hit,
hunny pots take three, and trees take many. The score
values are like this:
Nuts - 10 Points
Trees - 400 Points
Hunny Pots - 800 Points
There are also tornados that help you. If you get in
them, use the reaction command to destroy anything
floating around it. If you ever get hit by anything,
go to Pooh immediatly and press Triangle. Make sure
to get the tornado at the very end, as it only appears
for a second, but if you get it it destroys the entire
bombardment at the end. When Piglet shows up, rescue
him with Triangle.
Pooh remembers Piglet and this chapter of the story
ends.
NOTE: Jiminy's Journal Mission for this is 1800, which
is extremely hard to get and will take you many, many
tries. You can only miss about 4 nuts or else you wont
get 1800.
|--------------------------------------------------------|
________________________________________________________
| Rabbit's House |
|--------------------------------------------------------|
After completing the Pride Lands, go back to Merlin's
house and re-attach the pages you found, which makes
Rabbit's House appear! Around Rabbit's House are three
chests containing an AP Boost, a Mythril Crystal, and
a Draw Ring.
When your ready, go up to Eeyore. Welcome to the super
fun Hunny Slider Mini-Game! Head for the finish line
while collecting as much hunny as you can. If some-
thing hits you, quickly go up to Pooh and press
triangle. Press and hold Square if you want to move
left or right quickly.
If you ever see Gopher, run him over. He will then be
with yu until you hit something. Gopher will make it
so that Pooh doesn't fall off when you hit an
obstacle, but ONLY ONCE PER GOPHER!
It's game over if Pooh runs out of HP. When you're
done, watch the scenes, head out, and go to TT.
NOTE: For Jiminy's Journal, you have to get a score of
8000. The trick to this is practice and getting used
to the layout of this Mini-Game. It take practice, so
don't give up!

| I. D. 2. Atlantica...................................................(id02) |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
After completing Disney Castle, head through the Splash Island Gummi Mission
to get to Atlantica, which is a very different world this time around. After
the scene, the company arrives and Sora forgets how to swim and you need to
go up to Flounder. You move around this time with the analog sticks, and if
you lock onto something and use Dolphin Kick, that eliminates the need for
swimming all together. To swim normal, just use X.
After talking to Sebastion, you have to participate in A Musical Challenge.
You need to hit X when the bar is in the yellow section to get a Excellent,
organge to get a good, and if you hit it in the blue section, hit it too late,
or don't hit anything, you get a bad. You shouldn't have too much trouble with
this at all, and if you do, then you might not enjoy this world. After the
challenge, you recieve the Undersea Kingdom Map.
NOTE: During any song, you can not pause without having to restart it. This can
be very annoying if you are not used to it.
Head to the save point and save, then talk to Sebastion.
________________________________________________________
| Chapter One: Swim This Way |
|--------------------------------------------------------|
In this challenge, you have to get Excellents to make
notes appear at the top left of the screen. Each
Excellent you get, one more note appears on the screen
although no more than 5 can show up. If you get a
Good, nothing happens, and if you get a Bad, one note
gets taken away. This is, obviously, the easiest
musical in Atlantica.
|--------------------------------------------------------|
Oh gawd, Donald wants to sing more lines. After all the scenes, you find out
that you need the Magnet spell to get the statue out from under the rock.
Oh well, on to Port Royal.

| Chapter Two: Part of Your World |
|--------------------------------------------------------|
Once obtaining the Magnet Element from Halloween Town,
go talk to Flounder.
The goal during this song is to get 5 Excellents in a
row. To switch it up a little, you now have to press
X and triangle.
|--------------------------------------------------------|
To read Sebastion's music, you need a Drive Gauge of 5, so head into the
Sunlight Storm Gummi Mission to reach The Pride Lands.

| I. D. 4. Optional Boss - Sephiroth...................................(id04) |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A video of me fighting Sephiroth is here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLvYZjXt090
Alright, here it is. THE hardest boss battle in the whole game, Sephiroth.
Sephiroth is located in Radiant Garden, in the Dark Depths, which is just
past where you fought the thousand Heartless. There is a save point two areas
before that, in the Crystal Fissure. You can only fight Sephiroth once, so
make sure you make a save file right before you go to fight him, so you can
reload and fight him whenever you want.
Before taking him on, there are many things that you need. I recommend that
you be at the very least level 70. There are many abilities that are absolutly
crucial to victory. You have to fight him alone, so no Drives, and on Proud
Mode, one mistake without Second Chance and Once More will mean instant death.
Not in any particular order:
-Guard
-Retaliating Slash
-Horizontal Slash
-Slapshot
-Dodge Slash
-Slide Dash
-Guard Break
-Aerial Sweep
-Aerial Spiral
-Aerial Finish
-Counterguard
-Trinity Limit (you will want to make sure to use the Break command)
-Scan
-Aerial Recovery
-Any Combo Plus you have
-Any Air Combo Plus you have
-Combo Boost
-Combination Boost
-Leaf Bracer
-MP Rage
-MP Haste
-Defender
-Second Chance
-Once More
Growth Abilities (any levels higher are great):
-At least LV2 High Jump (From leveling Valor)
-At least LV2 Aerial Dodge (From leveling Master)
-At least LV1 Glide (From leveling Final)
ULTIMA WEAPON IS THE KEY TO BEATING SEPHIROTH. If you don't have it, then
take two hours of you time to synthesize it. I strongly, strongly recommend
Ultima Weapon because of it's MP Hastega ability. This will decrease your
magic reload time greatly. If you really don't want to get it, Desicive
Pumpkin or Oblivion would be your best choices. You can always come back
later after you are skilled and beat Sephy with Sweet Memories or whatever
(which is very fun).
You also have to make sure you have 6 Elixers, and if not, synthesize them.
I beat Sephy many times with Hi-Potions, but Elixers help so much more. For
Armor, Ribbons and Power Bands are great. For accessories, anything that will
boost your AP is what your looking for. You have enough AP then strength boost-
ing accessories are what you should have equipped.
Be sure to have Curaga, Reflega, and Elixers in your shortcut menu, because
there is NO time to go down and select them from the list.
After you are completely prepared, make sure that your command menu is switched
so that Limit is at the bottom and not Drive, take a deep breath, and approach
Sephiroth.

| Boss Fight: Sephiroth |
|--------------------------------------------------------|

|--------------------------------------------------------|
At the beginning of the battle, use the Block reaction
command to block against Sephiroth's fury of swings.
Sephiroth will use this move often, and you can always
tell when because he stands still for a moment and
the sky darkens dramatically. you have to be on the
ground to use the reaction command, and if you are
in the air, you will get hit by it. The only ways to
avoid this attack is to use the Block reaction command
or be extremely high in the air. This attack will
most likely only leave you with a very small amount of
health.
After Blocking against Sephiroth, he will be wide open
for attack, so Slide Dash to him and unleash a combo.
It is important to know that you should NEVER try to
get more than one combo on him at a time, because he
will teleport in the middle of your second one and
make you pay for it. After your combo, don't move.
Sephiroth will regain his balance, and you will see
him hunch. AS SOON AS YOU SEE HIM HUNCH, USE SQUARE TO
GUARD. After your Guard is finished, press X to use
Counter Guard and interupt his combo. After using
Counter Guard, unleash a combo. Repeat this for the
entire first phase, which ends after you have taken
off 4 and a half health bars and you hear him say
"No more games." You should've been able to get by
his first phase without getting hit at all.
During his second phase, your strategy should become
a little different. Sephiroth will now make black
orbs appear around you, which should always be
immediatly taken care of with Reflega. From now on,
when ever you combo Sephiroth, you should jump away at
the end to see what his next move will be. Sephiroth
will use Flame Pillar from time to time, which will
draw you in and hurt you like no tommorrow. While
being drawn in, you should double jump and Glide far
away. If you get caught in it, you have two options.
If you have MP, use the Trinity Limit and you will be
immune while hurting Sephy. If you don't, try to find
an opening in the pillar and dash, double jump, w/e,
just make sure you get the hell out of there and heal.
If you don't finish a combo, Sephiroth's favorite
thing to do is use Flame Pillar, so if you didn't
finish your combo, jump away from him.
Sephy will sometimes teleport behind you and knock you
into the air, which is actually a very good thing.
What you want to do is Lock-On to him as soon as you
are in the air, and press Square to swipe from side to
side, after doing it once, you should press Square two
more times and then use Areial Sweep/Spiral/Finish
with X. As soon as you both land, Slide Dash to him
and get a combo in on him. If you used Square four
times in the air instead of three, Sephy will teleport
in the middle of your combo.
Sometimes, Sephiroth will turn purple and float high
in the air (probably on the other side of the arena).
You will hear him say "Descend Heartless Angel." You
MUST High Jump and then Duoble Jump and hit him before
he finishes saying "Angel" or your MP will be gone and
your HP will be at 1. He will almost definatly kill
you after this attack. If you know that you wont be
able to reach him in time, you have two choices. If
you have MP, you can lock onto him and use Trinity
Limit, which will have you hit him and interupt his
attack. If you don't have any MP, you need to get as
far away from Sephy as possible, and as soon as you
get hit by DHA, use an Elixer. If you do interupt him,
after you land, Slide Dash to him and use a combo.
During his second phase, Sephy will still do normal
combos on you, which you should Guard and Counterguard
against, just like normal.
Once Sephy only has 4 and a half bars left, he will
turn purple and crouch. This marks the beginning of
his third phase, which is the most devastating. At
the start of it, Sephiroth will bombard you with black
balls. You will need to use Reflega about 3 or 4 times
to get rid of them all. Sephiroths combos are now very
complex and involve him teleporting all over the
place, so I suggest that you just jump and glide until
he is finished. Seph will use everything up until this
point like a mad man. He also has a new attack where
he is invincible, flies up, and sends Meteors down
upon you. This is actually simple to dodge, all you
have to do is double jump back and forth from A to B
and the meteors will always just miss you.
Just about the only times you will be hitting Sephy in
his thrid phase is when he uses DHA or teleports
behind you and hits you up into the air.
A great way to finish Sephy off is, when he has about
1 health bar left (and if you have MP), use Trinity
Limit, while hitting every break command.
|--------------------------------------------------------|
Congratulations!
After the battle, do what Sephiroth says and talk to Cloud in the Market area.
Tell him about Sephiroth and then return to the Dark Depths. After watching
the awesome Showdown of Fate, listen to Tifa. You recieve the most poweful
keyblade in the whole game (which also happens to be the name of Cloud's bike
in Advent Children), Fenrir. Yes, it does look just like a sword, and yes, it
is awesome. No, the Negative Combo ability doesn't ruin it, not at all.

| II. A. Heartless....................................................(iia00) |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
__________________________________________________________________
| Definition |
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
Heartless are essentially what becomes of the heart when a
human's body is overtaken by the Darkness. Heartless lack the
body and soul of the human (which makes the Nobodies), and can
be controlled by anyone they deem more evil than they are. They
are born from those who've lost their hearts, and thrive on
hearts seized from others. Heartless' main priorities are the
strong of heart and the hearts of worlds. Every world has a
door to it's heart. The Heartless search relentlessly for those
doors. Each world also has a Keyhole, which can lock the door to
the world's heart, sealing the Heartless out. Keyholes can only
be sealed by the chosen few who wield Keyblades. The Heartless
hunt Sora for two reasons, because he wields the Keyblade that
has the power to stop their mission, and he is of very strong
heart.
The Heartless' method of entering worlds is to use the Dark
Corridor, an unpredictable pathway that interlinks many
worlds. When those doors to those hearts are opened,
those worlds becomes connected to the darkness, and the barriers
that seperate those worlds from others are broken, and a
meteor shower will occur. This will end in the world being
destroyed.
Gummi Ships travel by inter-space into worlds. In
rare circumstances, you do not need a vessel. The Beast
traveled through inter-space to Hollow Bastion through sheer
force of will, and Riku traveled with Kairi's lifeless body
through the power of darkness.
Heartless come in a large variety of types, categorized by
being natural or artificial. Artificial Heartless are labeled
with a heart symbol, which Ansem referred to as an "emblem".
The natural Heartless are inky-black shadow-creatures with
bright yellow eyes. In contrast to the strongest Nobodies having
human form, the stronger types of Heartless take on more
monstrous forms, such as Kurt Zisa.

| II. B. Nobodies.....................................................(iib00) |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
__________________________________________________________________
| Definition |
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
Nobodies are creatures without hearts. They are leftovers,
existing as merely the body (an empty vessel) and soul of people
who lost their hearts to Darkness. Unlike the Heartless, the
Nobodies attack people out of confusion and the need to be
complete (finding and reuniting their bodies with their lost
hearts). The members of Organization XIII, being the most
powerful Nobodies because of their strong hearts, kept human
form while weaker ones assumed malformed inhuman forms. Most of
the members of the Organization tend to control one type of
Nobody, usually suited to their fighting style.
The only Nobody not featured in KHII is the Spectre. The Spectre
is the big Nobody that Marluxia rides, and is fought at the end
of Chain of Memories.

| II. C. Organization XIII Members....................................(iic00) |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
NOTE: All Org. XIII member's names are their human names anagramed with an X.
The translators for this game spelled some of thir original names wrong in the
Secret Ansem's Reports, but they have been fixed in these descriptions and
the Reports. The original names of members VII-XII are unknown.
__________________________________________________________________
| I. Xemnas |
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
Previously known by fans as the Enigmatic Man, Xemnas (whose
name is an anagram of Ansem with an x added to it), the "Seeker
of Darkness", is the Nobody of Xehanort and the main antagonist
of Kingdom Hearts II. Like his counterpart, Xemnas is collecting
hearts, but he intends to absorb Kingdom Hearts to become a
complete and almighty godlike being. He can manifest some sort
of energy as a weapon, making red "aerial blades" with it, use
the element of nothingness, control the Sorcerer Nobodies, and
move through solid objects, such as humans.
He is the man whom Sora fought in the Final Mix version of the
original Kingdom Hearts at Hollow Bastion. He was the first
member of the Organization that could be fought. Xemnas is first
seen in Kingdom Hearts II during the beginning at a beach in the
World of Darkness, stating that Roxas looks like Sora and asks
if he has met him. Later on, he appears in front of Sora at
Hollow Bastion to taunt him, and then later at Hollow Bastion
again when the enormous Heartless army attacked it. While he
escapes, Sora confronts him again in the World That Never Was,
where Xenmas succeeded in obtaining some of Kingdom Hearts'
power, taking on a new form. Xemnas is the last member of the
Organization that Sora, with help from Riku, battles in Kingdom
Hearts II. Sora and Riku emerge victorious.
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
__________________________________________________________________
| II. Xigbar |
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
Xigbar, the "Freeshooter", is a senior member of the
Organization. He controls the Sniper Nobodies that share the
same affinity for sharpshooting as he does. Being a sniper by
nature, Xigbar uses gun arrows and the element of space in
battle. A missing right eye and the deep scar on his left cheek
indicate that he was in some sort of intense battle in the past.
He has several grey streaks in his hair, which is worn in a
ponytail.
For someone his age, Xigbar talks a lot and likes to insult
people. He is not terribly intelligent and fights based on
instinct. He initially appears before Sora at Hollow Bastion
near the beginning of the game to taunt Sora, though he never
takes off his hood. Later, he appears at The Land of Dragons
coincidentally at the same time that Riku appears there. Sora
sees him and confuses him for Riku, whom he had met earlier. He
confronts Sora at the World That Never Was and is defeated. His
original name was Braig.
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
__________________________________________________________________
| III. Xaldin |
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
While he looks like the silent-type, Xaldin, the "Whirlwind
Lancer", is actually quite talkative. He sports long black
hair and long sideburns, and wields six lances while wielding
the element of wind, along with controlling the Dragoon Nobodies
who all wield spears much like his own.
Xaldin confronts Sora in Beast's Castle when he threatens to
destroy the mystical rose and forces Beast to fight for him,
along with kidnapping Belle so that Kingdom Hearts might be
obtained and the Organization XIII may become complete beings.
Xaldin's impulsive actions ultimately leads to his downfall
against Sora. His original name was Dilan.
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
__________________________________________________________________
| IV. Vexen |
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
Vexen, the "Chilly Academic", is the research scientist of the
group and loves to study the secrets of the heart. He is often
very stoic in his behavior. Vexen is ranked higher than most
others and has long dirty blond hair. He can control
the power of ice and carries a large shield in battle that
blocks any frontal attacks made against him, with an effect that
is much like that of a Fat Body Heartless.
In Chain of Memories, he appears to help in Marluxia's plot, but
actually siding with Zexion and Lexaeus. He first battles Riku
in order to create a replica of him. However, Vexen cared
nothing for his "experiment" and allows Namine to manipulate the
duplicate's memories against his wishes. When he encounters
Sora, Vexen says that he came to collect his "debt" and provokes
Sora's anger by making him believe that he controlled Riku
rather than created a replica. After their battle, Vexen gives
Sora the card to Twilight Town with the intention of revealing
something important to the boy. Marluxia considers him a traitor
as a result and sends Axel to kill him.
In Twilight Town, Vexen attempts to reveal to Sora why he feels
as though he has been to Twilight Town despite being fairly
certain (though memories are never quite certain in Castle
Oblivion) that he had never been there. Sora and Vexen battle
listen to his heart. Following the fight, Vexen sees Sora as a
true threat; even after being weakened by false memories, Sora
remained very strong. Just as Vexen is about to reveal to Sora
Marluxia's plot to use him and the existence of "the other side
of Sora's heart", Vexen is struck behind by one of Axel's
chakrams. Despite pleading for mercy, Axel lays the deathblow to
Vexen, telling him, "Now you can be nothing instead of just
being nobody." Axel's purpose for killing Vexen was to gain
Muluxia and Larxene's trust. His original name was Even.
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
__________________________________________________________________
| V. Lexaeus |
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
Lexaeus, the "Silent Hero", is a well-built, muscular fighter
in Organization XIII's ranks. Lexaeus is one of the two members
of the Organization in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories that
appears in Riku's story only. He employs a large tomahawk and
the element of earth in battle.
Lexaeus, along with Vexen and Zexion, are older members of the
Organization who are less than pleased when they are forced to
submit to the will of newcomers like Marluxia. When they
realize the Lord of Castle Oblivion plans to overthrow the
Organization by capturing and manipulating Sora, Lexaeus and
Zexion decide to capture Riku and use him in the same fashion to
counter Marluxia.
Lexaeus seems to keep an eye on events unfolding in the higher
floors of Castle Oblivion and he is the one that informs Zexion
that Axel has killed Vexen. When it became dangerously apparent
that Sora might fall into Marluxia's grasp, Lexaeus confronts
Riku directly, trying to convince him to open himself up to the
power of the darkness in his heart. Riku refuses to give in and
Lexaeus attacks him. In a very close battle, Riku manages to
defeat the brute, but with his last bits of strength, Lexaeus
releases all of the darkness within him in hopes of
overwhelming and consuming Riku. However, King Mickey protects
Riku. His original name was Elaeus.
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
__________________________________________________________________
| VI. Zexion |
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
Like Axel, Zexion, the "Cloaked Schemer", is a skilled
manipulator by nature, though as we discover, not skilled
enough. Appearing in Chain of Memories, his talents lay outside
of battle, even though he does have a weapon; he is the only
Organization member who does not fight in a gameplay battle and
lacks a voice actor.
He is one of two Organization members who appear only in Riku's
Story. He has the ability to identify individuals by their
scent, sensing when they die, and seems to be able to do so from
great distances. His element is unknown.
Zexion informs Vexen and Lexaeus when he senses two new scents
in the lowest basement of Castle Oblivion. One of the scents is
Maleficent, and he senses that she is eliminated by the other
visitor, one with a scent "exactly similar" to that of the
Superior. With little information on what was happening, he and
the others decide to await development. Not long after, he
identifies the other guest in the castle: Riku. He observes the
boy's progress through Castle Oblivion until Vexen's death,
when he and Lexaeus decide that they should use Riku just as
they believe Marluxia will use Sora.
After Larxene, Lexaeus and even Marluxia are killed, Zexion sees
that Riku is no longer needed and attempts to destroy him
him. He leads Riku into a manifestation of Destiny Islands,
Sora and Riku's home, in which Riku sees his friends disappear.
Zexion appears and wages psychological war on Riku, telling him
about how he threw away his friends and his home, opened the
door to darkness, and destroyed his islands. Following Riku's
battle with a Darkside Heartless, Zexion uses his power to
disguise himself as Sora and attacks him, telling him that he's
become nothing more than a pawn of the darkness. He engulfs Riku
in light, but a vision of Kairi manages to convince Riku to shed
his fear of the darkness. With newfound strength, Riku follows
Zexion's scent through the light and strikes him, but Zexion
escapes. His escape was short-lived; Axel brings the Riku
Replica down to him and convinces the replica that he can become
real by gaining power that the real Riku does not have. The
replica agrees, and with Axel's suggestion, strikes down Zexion
without difficulty. His status is as of now "fallen into ruin",
though the meaning of this remains unclear.
He was originally Ansem's youngest lab assistant and test
subject, under the name of Ienzo. He was the one that convinced
Ansem, with his passionate words, that they should expand the
horizons of their research.
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
__________________________________________________________________
| VII. Saix |
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
Saix, the "Luna Diviner", has an X-shaped scar on his
face and wields a gigantic claymore. He controls the element of
moon and the Berserker Nobodies.
Despite his rank, Saix is respected as if he was the second in
command. He is a calm and collected man who shows no emotion.
Axel has a clear dislike of him and Saix becomes the one to
brand Axel as a traitor to the group for attempting to derail
the Organization's plans. Saix shows his true beastlike nature
when he fights Sora at The World That Never Was, going into a
berserk state when he is on the verge of defeat.
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
__________________________________________________________________
| VIII. Axel |
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
Axel, the "Flurry of Dancing Flames", works as a double agent in
Castle Oblivion. In battle, he utilizes a pair of chakram as
well as the element of fire. The Assassin Nobodies are under his
control. He is a skilled manipulator and one never quite knows
whose side he is really on.
Axel is the first member of the Organization to battle with
Sora in Castle Oblivion, though the fight is nothing more than
a test of Sora's strength. He gives Sora his first set of world
cards to proceed through the castle. Later, he pretends to join
with Larxene and Marluxia in their plan to seize control of the
Organization using Sora. To gain their trust, he assassinates
Vexen when ordered by Marluxia to rid them of "traitors". In
Kingdom Hearts II, Axel's other motive for killing Vexen is
revealed; because of Vexen, Sora almost learns of his nobody
counterpart, Roxas. Afterwards, in order to derail Marluxia's
plans, Axel sets Namine free so that she can reveal to Sora the
truth about how she manipulated his memory.
Eventually, Axel confronts Marluxia, prepared to destroy him by
reminding him of the order to wipe out traitors of the
Organization. Marluxia uses Namine as shield to keep Axel at
bay, though Axel resolves to go through anyone, even Namine, in
order to kill Marluxia. When Sora makes a sudden appearance,
Marluxia vanishes with Namine, leaving Sora to fight Axel. Sora
defeats Axel, after which he states the existence of their
relation before vanishing, letting Sora believe him to be gone
for good. After Marluxia is defeated by Sora, Axel enlists the
aid of the Riku Replica that Vexen created to get rid of Zexion
in Castle Oblivion's basement levels and to fight the real Riku.
Throughout both the main storyline and Reverse/Rebirth, Axel
seemingly inadvertantly refers to himself, Vexen, and Namine
as nobodies.
Axel's role and motives are fully revealed in Kingdom Hearts
II and revolve around Roxas, whom Axel sees as a dear friend
and almost like a brother. He attempts to personally bring
Roxas back into the Organization by force, knowing that if
Roxas was to find and meet face to face with Sora, the two
will fuse to complete Sora and Roxas would no longer exist.
When that plan fails, Axel discovers that Xemnas has simply
been setting up Roxas and the other members of the Organization
to further his own selfish desires and he turns against the
Organization. He kidnaps Kairi to see if he could use her to
influence Sora to fight with him against Xemnas.
Because of these acts, Saix brands Axel as a traitor, and
decides to use Kairi as bait to make Sora give up the fight
against them. Axel eventually realizes that if Sora were to
die, Roxas would "die" along with him. Knowing that he would
be unable to live with himself if he were to let Roxas die and
angry that he put his own needs before his best friend's, Axel
chooses to fight with Sora rather than against him. When he and
Sora are attacked by a large group of Nobodies, he performs a
kamikaze attack and sacrifices himself to save Sora.
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
__________________________________________________________________
| IX. Demyx |
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
A blond fighting musician, Demyx, the "Melodious Nocturne", uses
a sitar as his weapon and controls the Dancer Nobodies. He does
not enjoy fighting, but can control and combine water with his
sitar for strong attacks such as making identical copies of
himself out of water.
He is seen as immature compared to the other members and rather
incompetent at completing missions. Demyx first appears in the
Underworld, where he plays around with Sora, not taking the
young keyblade master seriously. Rather than making a repeat
performance, Demyx changes his attitude when he fights Sora
again at Hollow Bastion. Unfortunately for Demyx, Sora defeats
him again.
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
__________________________________________________________________
| X. Luxord |
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
Being the "Gambler of Fate", gambling permeates into
all aspects of Luxord's life. He loves to gamble and sees battle
as just another form of it. Like Zexion, he is more a strategist
than a powerful fighter. He has neatly ordered white hair, a
mustache and several earrings in the shape of the Nobody symbol.
Luxord uses a deck of 52 playing cards and the element of time.
He also possesses control of the Gambler Nobodies.
Luxord appears at Port Royal, shouting orders at Barbossa's men
and instigating the Parley Process. He manages to escape
before Sora and his friends can fight him. Later, at the World
That Never Was, Luxord appears before Sora and traps his
companions in his playing cards, leaving Sora to fight alone.
In his final gamble, he raises his cards to defend himself from
Sora's final strike, but it is in vain.
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
__________________________________________________________________
| XI. Marluxia |
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
A relative newcomer to the Organization, Marluxia is Lord of
Castle Oblivion and the "Graceful Assassin". In battle,
he wields a pink scythe and the element of flower (referred to
as "nature" in some official material but the meaning of nature
does not exactly correspond to the powers Marluxia possesses).
Along with Larxene, Marluxia conspires to overthrow the
Organization by using Namine to manipulate Sora's memories.
He declares the replica of Riku a failure and threatens to tell
The Superior about this. The intimidation tactic is effective
and Vexen reluctantly agrees to Marluxia's order to kill Sora.
Axel remarks that Vexen would kill Sora, thus rendering their
plans useless, but Marluxia is confident Vexen will fail. He
assigns Axel to eliminate Vexen when the latter failed to kill
Sora and almost told Sora about the "other side of the heart".
Upon Axel's return, Marluxia extends his trust to Axel as he
has done with Larxene. However, Axel betrays them and
convinces Namine to do what she thinks is right. Larxene
fails to kill Sora and was eliminated as well. Marluxia
recaptures Namine and is confronted by Axel, who accuses
Marluxia and Larxene as the traitors for conspiring against the
the Organization. The two are about to fight with Marluxia
planning to use Namine as a shield. Sora appears and Marluxia
disappears to the 13th floor, leaving Axel to fight Sora.
Seeing that Axel has been defeated, Marluxia anticipates
Sora's arrival on the 13th Floor. The two fight, only for
Sora to realize he has been fighting a replica of Marluxia.
The real Marluxia, atop a Nobody called Spectre, confronts
Sora and another battle ensues. Marluxia, like the other
members of the Organization, is defeated.
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
__________________________________________________________________
| XII. Larxene |
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
The only female member and the "Savage Nymph", Larxene
conspires with Marluxia to overthrow Organization XIII by using
Sora to achieve their ends. She is an arrogant sadist in nature,
abrasive and uncaring for the feelings of others as she enjoyed
seeing them suffer with her mindgames. Larxene uses the element
of thunder to fight and wields kunai (throwing knives) held
between her fingers as her weapons. Compared to the other
members, she is incredibly agile in battle.
In her first encounter with Sora, she flips Marluxia's plans
into high gear when she attacks Sora and turns the luck charm
into a shape of a star different from Kairi's. The act fully
replaces Kairi in Sora's memories with Namine. After the
battle, Larxene mocks Sora, claiming he's trying to "play" the
hero. The trust Marluxia and Larxene place in Axel proved to be
a mistake when he derails their plans by setting Namine free.
Namine reveals to Sora that the Organization has been using him
since he stepped into Castle Oblivion. Larxene appears to Sora,
after he fought the Riku Replica for the fourth time, to destroy
them all. Again, Larxene mocks Sora for "chaining" himself to
false memories of Namine and the "promise" he made to her. The
taunt proves fatal, as Sora attacks with Donald and Goofy aiding
him. Sora kills Larxene, leaving only two members of the
Organization in Castle Oblivion for him to deal with.
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
__________________________________________________________________
| XIII. Roxas |
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
The youngest and newest member of the Organization, Roxas, "The
Key of Destiny", was "born" when Sora briefly became a
Heartless. However, due to a combination of Sora's short time
as a Shadow and Kairi's heart serving in his creation, Roxas had
no memory of being Sora. He wields the Oblivion and Oathkeeper
Keyblades, and controls the power of light and the Samurai
Nobodies. His name is an anagram of Sora with an x added.
Roxas' first appearance was in the "Another Side, Another Story"
video that is unlockable if the player accomplishes certain
tasks in Kingdom Hearts; he was the first Organization member
to be revealed. He later appeared in an additional video,
"Another Side, Another Story [deep dive]", for Kingdom Hearts:
Final Mix. When pre-release screenshots and video showed this
character without an Organization cloak, he was featured
prominently, emphasizing his importance to the future game's
plot. In the absence of an official name, fan names included
Glowing-Eyed Unknown and Dual-Wielding Unknown as he appears
in "Another side, Another story [deep dive]" and Blond-Haired
Kid when he appeared in his Twilight Town outfit.
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Roxas' Story |
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
During his time in the Organization, he and Axel became best
friends, but that changed after Xemnas revealed Sora's existence
to him. Roxas, against Axel's wishes, wanted to find out the
truth behind who he really was and left the Organization.
While in the World That Never Was, Roxas
co-oped with Riku when he was attacked by Heartless (due to
possessing the Keyblade), but the two soon fought each other
and Roxas was beaten (and knocked out) by Riku once he fully
embraced the darkness in himself. Riku took him to DiZ, who
placed him in Twilight Town with no memory of being a Nobody.
DiZ had Namine replace some of Roxas' memories with Sora's,
much to Axel's enraged fury, who did not want Roxas involved
with DiZ's plan. As a result of DiZ's scheme, Roxas lived a
normal life in a simulated Twilight Town until his past came
back to haunt him when Axel eventually found him.
Although he eventually is able to remember his past as Number
13 in the Organization, and despite Axel's attempts to stop
him, he merges with Sora at the beginning of the game as part
of DiZ's plan to restore Sora's memories faster, since he
realized that the process was taking much longer than he
thought, and make Sora active again to fight the rest of
the Organization. Despite his "death", Roxas appeared two
more times in the World That Never Was near the end of the
game. The first was a confrontation with Sora that led to a
one-on-one fight. The fight is never fully explained and is
left open for interpretation. Roxas could have been fighting
Sora for dominance over their body, or he could have been
testing Sora to make sure he was strong enough to fight
Xemnas and other stronger Organization members. The final
time Roxas appears is with Namine, before Sora and Kairi,
and he fully fades into nothingness as a part of Sora with no
regret; although he does appear one last time at the end of
the game to smile in Sora's body.

| Ansem's Report 1 |
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
Much of my life has been dedicated to pursuit of knowledge.
That knowledge has guarded this world well. Not a soul doubts
that. I am blessed with 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 subject's heart to collapse,
including those of the most stalwart. How fragile our hearts
are! My treatment produced no signs of recovery. I confined
those 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?
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
__________________________________________________________________
| Ansem's Report 3 |
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
The shadows that crawl beneath the castle... Are they the
people who lost their hearts, or incarnations of darkness?
Or something entirely beyond my 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.
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
__________________________________________________________________
| Ansem's Report 4 |
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
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
also 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?
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
__________________________________________________________________
| Ansem's Report 5 |
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
To study the 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, a strange door appeared. I'd never known
of its 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?
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
__________________________________________________________________
| Ansem's Report 6 |
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
A massive core of energy lay beyond the door sought by the
Heartless. It may be the ultimate goal of the Heartless. But
what is that energy? I have devised a hypothesis, based upon
my observations of the Heartless.
The Heartless feed on other's 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 planet itself. But what do
they mean to do with the heart of the world?
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
__________________________________________________________________
| Ansem's Report 7 |
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
I am 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 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.
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
__________________________________________________________________
| Ansem's Report 8 |
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
There is no doubt that the Heartless are deeply connected to
the 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 remain distinct for the
purpose of the experiment. So, I will mark the ones that are
created artificially.

| Ansem's Report 9 |
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
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
seemed that my opening the 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 its 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 I have opened.
|------------------------------------------------------------------|

| Ansem's Report 10 |
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
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 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 shall seek out the wielder of the
Keyblade, and the princesses. My body is too frail for such
a journey, but I most do this. I will cast it off and plunge
into the depths of darkness.
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
NOTE: The following reports only appear in Final Mix and have been translated.
__________________________________________________________________
| Ansem's Report 11 |
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
In opening the door that stores a world's heart, the wall
around that world is broken down. We see this as a shooting
star. Through this, I have been able to understand the reason
why the material known as Gummi Blocks has the ability to
allow travel to other worlds.
The cause of a world's wall collapsing is the appearance of
the Heartless, but finding a world's door takes time. And
robbing a world of its heart is a similar case.
If the door has been closed by the key known as the Keyblade,
you probably cannot reach that world's heart again. Before
the one with the Keyblade appears in this world, I must take
measures to do something.
Supposing that there is a close relationship between the
Princesses and the Keyblade, it seems likely that they
will resonate with each other...
I have chosen one special girl. I do not know if she
possesses a power like that of the Princesses. But, there is
a chance, and this is an experiment. She may lead me to the
place where the one holding the key is...
I shall send her off to the ocean of other worlds.

|------------------------------------------------------------------|
I have transcended to an existence of only the heart. I should
have come back as a Heartless, but there is no sign of such a
transformation.
My body has surely perished. However, I am different from the
other Heartless, keeping the memories of before, and I have
not taken on the form of a Heartless. It is clear that there
are still many things to be studied.
In order to cross over to the dark side, which is not this
world, you must go beyond the door of Kingdom Hearts, the
place connected to the world's heart.
The innermost part connected to the world's heart, the place
connecting to the world of darkness. (I will record the
details in another report...)
There are still so many unknown worlds.
The present world.
The world of darkness.
The world of light.
And, The world in-between.
Where does the true paradise lie, I wonder?
|------------------------------------------------------------------|

| Ansem's Report 13 |
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
When the heart casts off the flesh, where does the body go?
Heart and soul are separate, and the spirit remains in the
body. But can we assume that the leftover body and soul perish?
Certainly when the heart changes into a Heartless the body
disappears.
However, that is only this world's story; in another world,
mightn't they change forms like the Heartless and exist there?
If we take that to be the case, there must be a you other
than yourself existing somewhere.
An existence neither of darkness nor of light.
An in-between existence.
Cast off by the heart, a mere shell, one who begrudges both
the darkness and the light.
This mystery cannot be easily resolved.
The relationship between the heart and the flesh is a
complex one.
But since we exist here, they cannot be termed as existent.
Therefore I shall call them...
"The non-existent ones."

| III. C. Glitches\Tricks............................................(iiic00) |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Drive Glitches-
Easy Drive Leveling: Whenever there is an area where your party members are
walking around (you can talk to them) and an area right next to it with
enemies, you can use this to your advantage and easily level your Drive form.
In that area, drive, and kill the enemies, then return to the area when it is
just you, WHILE STILL IN YOUR DRIVE FORM. Ta-Da, you will have a full drive
gauge and still have the experience you got from driving. An example of an
area where this would work is Cornerstone Hill in Timeless River. You can do
this similarly with a save point, just enter the world map while in your drive
form.
Drive in Cut-Scenes: If you are driving while a cut-scene happens, your clothes
will retain that form for the whole cut-scene, even though Donald and Goofy are
probably standing right beside you!
Leveling Tricks-
Easily Get to Level 99: There are a few things that you need to do this, they
are:
-Gullwing Keyblade
-Experience Boost Abilities
-Draw Abilities
-Jackpot Abilities
-Magnet Spell (Magnega preferably)
Things you might want:
-Gengi Shield
-Defender Ability
-Second Chance and Once More Abilities
Go to the Pride Lands after you have beaten Scar. Unequip any healng abilities
that might be on your party, and get into Critical Health. Not too low, but so
it is flashing red. Go up to the Peak where you fought Scar, and there is a TON
of Rabid Thrusters. What you need to do is cast you Magnet Spell over and over.
The Rabid Thrusters drop MP balls so you shouldn't run out of MP. Since you
are in critical health, killing many enemies with experience boosting
equipment, you gain a LOT of EXP from the Rabid Thrusters. Once you have killed
them all, run out and then come back in and do it again. You should gain about
2 levels every 3 times you clear out the Peak.
I got from level 71 to 99 in about an hour and a half.

| III. D. Sanctuary Lyrics...........................................(iiid00) |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
In you and I there's a new land,
Angels in flight.
My sanctuary. My sanctuary Yeah.
Where fears and lies melt away.
Music inside.
What's left of me.
What's left of me now.
I watch you fast asleep,
all I fear means nothing.
In you and I there's a new land,
Angels in flight.
My sanctuary. My sanctuary. Yeah.
Where fears and lies melt away.
Music inside.
What's left of me.
What's left of me now.
My hearts a battleground.
You show me how to see,
that nothing is whole and nothing is broken,
In you and I there's a new land
Angels in flight.
My sanctuary. My sanctuary. Yeah.
Where fears and lies melt away.
Music inside.
What's left of me.
What's left of me now.
My fears, my lies.
Melt away.
