- - Kingdom Hearts 2 Game Guide By Aaron Busch Version: C1 X01 Created: Wednesday, March 30th, 2006 Platform: Playstation 2 E-mail: Undernet01@Shaw.ca Primary Source: http://www.gamefaqs.com Secondary Source: http://www.ign.com (C) 2006 -

USING THE GUIDE Within this Game Guide, each new section for the Walkthrough will be spaced out. For example, "Agrabah" will be written as "A g r a b a h". You will be able to skip all the stuff in between and head straight for this section if you do the following. INTERNET EXPLORER / MOZILLA FIREFOX USERS = Select 'Edit', located on the toolbar at the top of your screen. = Select 'Find, or simply hold Ctrl, then hit the F Key. = Input the name corresponding to the specific section you are having difficulties with, then select 'Find'. NETSCAPE USERS = Select 'Edit', located on the toolbar at the top of your screen. = Select 'Find in This Page', or simply hit Ctrl, then the F Key. = Input the name corresponding to the specific section you are having difficulties with, then select 'Find'. With the amount of e-mails I've been receiving regarding the same issue, an enormous amount of improvements were made to several sections of this guide. These changes were made to assist people with these problems in much better coverage. I've removed several references to treasure chests throughout the guide and placed them all within the Treasure Chest section, instead of the Walkthrough. If you are looking to read information in a particular section in this Game Guide, such as "Agrabah", type "A g r a b a h" in the search parameters and select 'Find Next'. If the name of the location consists of more than one word, add each of the spaces between the letters as usual, and then add three spaces between each word. This is much less confusing than it sounds. Remember, because of the game mechanics in Kingdom Hearts 2, there may be a few occasions where you will be visiting the same place more than once. For example, when returning to the Olympus Coliseum for the second time, you'll type "O l y m p u s C o l i s e u m", and then press 'Find' twice, rather than once. - - - III. WALKTHROUGH Start Kingdom Hearts II by selecting 'New Game'. You will then be prompted to select a mode of difficulty. Selecting one mode over another increases the difficulty of enemy encounters. There are three selections you will be able to choose from. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O | Beginner Mode | | Difficulty: Easy | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O Beginner Mode is recommended to players that are new to the Kingdom Hearts series, or to those who are not yet familiar with the mechanics to Kingdom Hearts II. It doesn't present much of a challenge, so you can play through the story with ease. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O | Standard Mode | | Difficulty: Medium | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O Standard Mode is recommended to players that are familiar with the Kingdom Hearts series, and are looking for the same kind of challenge the original Kingdom Hearts presented. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O | Proud Mode | | Difficulty: Hard | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O Proud Mode is recommended to players that are hardcore, and looking for an interesting challenge. This isn't recommended to people who are unfamiliar with the Kingdom Hearts mechanics. O - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = O T W I L I G H T T O W N O - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O | The First Day | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O After the initial cutscene, approach Hayner, Olette, and Pence by the Armor Shop. You will then be led through a series of tutorials designed to assist you with the game mechanics in Kingdom Hearts II. Begin by speaking to the woman at the Accessory Shop. Continue the tutorial by reading through the on-screen instructions until you encounter Seifer in the Sandlot. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O HP: 100 / Boss Battle: Seifer / O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O You'll be prompted to select one of three weapons at the beginning of this battle. Each weapon will add one attribute to your characters based on the weapon you selected. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O | Handguard | | +1 Defense | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O | Club | | +1 Attack Power | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O | Staff | | +1 Magic Power | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O This battle can assist you through several basic commands of enemy battles. There are two gauges you need to take note of in this battle. First is the health gauge, which displays your current health. This battle is over when you run out of health. The blue gauge displays your current Magic Power (MP). Magic abilities can display one of two different colors. When it's displayed in white, it will consume a patial amount of your magic power. When the ability is displayed in orange, it will consume all of your magic power. Another returning feature is the Lock-On command. This is used by pressing the R1 Button. This command will be used to locate your target and display remaining health information. After this battle has begun, start attacking Seifer. Seifer will use two main attacks on you. He will either strike you with an aerial attack, or several consecutive attacks. Seifer's aerial attack will cause quite a bit of damage, but can easily be avoided. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O After defeating Seifer, you'll arrive in the woods. Chase the Dusk into the Old Mansion. Approach the Dusk and select 'Capture'. Following the cutscene, you will be forced to battle the Dusk. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O HP: 32 / Boss Battle: Dusk / O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O You'll be unable to attack the Dusk just yet, because you do not wield the power to destroy Heartless or Nobodies. Regardless, begin by attacking the Dusk and use the Reversal command to avoid any unnecessary damage. This battle introduces you to the Reaction command. It's a command that is activated by pressing the triangle button. Use this command every time you see a triangle-shaped prompt appear on the enemy, or above the command bar. Use the Reversal command as it displays on-screen, and start attacking the Dusk until you have defeated it. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O | | | REACTION COMMANDS | | | | Reversal | | | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O | The Second Day | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O Once you are back in the Usual Spot, access the Save Point. Once you obtain the Twilight Town Map, exit the Back Alley and continue to Market Square to initiate a cutscene. Examine the 'Help Wanted' bulletin in Market Square and Tram Common. You'll be able to earn a maximum of 50 Munny in Market Square and 100 Munny in the Tram Common. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O | Market Square | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O MY SCORE: 08.16 / Mini-Game #1: Mail Delivery / O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O Your duty in this mini-game is to deliver five letters. Skate through this course, pressing the triangle button once you approach a bird, or resident of Twilight Town. Complete the mini-game quickly to receive more Munny. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O | 10 Munny | | 1 > Minute | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O | 30 Munny | | < 1 Minute | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O | 50 Munny | | < 20 Seconds | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O | Jiminy Objective | | < 14 Seconds | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O MY SCORE: 13.46 / Mini-Game #2: Cargo Climb / O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O Your duty in this mini-game is to move the cargo up the slope. Finish with a combo for better results. Lock onto the cargo and strike from behind. If the cargo lifts into the air, strike it to push it a good deal up the hill. Equip Sora's Fenrir and Negative Combo abilities to boost effect. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O | 10 Munny | | 60 > Seconds | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O | 30 Munny | | < 60 Seconds | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O | 50 Munny | | < 30 Seconds | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O | Jiminy Objective | | < 15 Seconds | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O MY SCORE: --/-- / Mini-Game #3: Grandstander / O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O Lock onto the ball and keep it afloat using Aerial Combos. Once you strike it into the air, you cannot allow it to fall. Once it's in the air, run at the ball, and then strike it to keep it afloat. Watch it's shadow for much better results. Should the ball be too low to perform an Aerial Combo, you will need to stand beneath it, and then attack it once it comes into reach. You will lose points once the ball has reached the ground. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O | 10 Munny | | < 4 Combos | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O | 30 Munny | | 5 > Combos | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O | 50 Munny | | 20 > Combos | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O | Jiminy Objective | | 100 > Combos | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O MY SCORE: 56.23 / Mini-Game #4: Poster Duty / O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O Several posters have been placed on the wall. It's your duty to approach a poster, or group of posters, then press the Reaction command to place them on the wall. If you come to a group of posters, press the Reaction command as many times as there are posters. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O | 30 Munny | | 2 > Minutes | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O | 50 Munny | | < 2 Minutes | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O | 100 Munny | | < 1.5 Minutes | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O | Jiminy Objective | | < 30 Seconds | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O MY SCORE: 16.19 Roxas / Mini-Game #5: Bumble-Buster / MY SCORE: --/-- Sora O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O You will see several bees swarming around the area. Approach each swarm of bees, then slash the swarm with your weapon. After the swarm of bees stops moving, back off and attack a different swarm, as each swarm can sting you. For better results, use Magnet. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O | 10 Munny | | 1 > Minute | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O | 20 Munny | | < 1 Minute | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O | 50 Munny | | < 20 Seconds | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O | Jiminy Objective | | < 10 Seconds | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O MY SCORE: 9 / Mini-Game #6: Junk Sweep / O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O Your duty is to remove all the piles of junk in as little amount of swings as possible. Finish with a combo near another junk pile, or push your junk pile into another to attain better results. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O | 10 Munny | | 15 > Swings | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O | 20 Munny | | < 15 Swings | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O | 50 Munny | | < 10 Swings | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O | Jiminy Objective | | < 6 Swings | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O Continue with these jobs until you have made 2000 Munny. You will then head back to Hayner, Pence and Olette. Your third day in Twilight Town will then begin. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O | The Third Day | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O You're back at the Usual Spot. Exit to the Back Alley, and then continue to the Station Heights to initiate a cutscene. After the cutscene, you will be in the Sandlot. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O HP: 34 / Boss Battle: Dusk / O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O You'll be unable to attack the Dusk just yet, because you do not wield the power to destroy Heartless or Nobodies. Regardless, begin by attacking the Dusk and use the Reversal command to avoid any unnecessary damage. This battle introduces you to the Reaction command. It's a command that is activated by pressing the triangle button. Use this command every time you see a triangle-shaped prompt appear on the enemy, or above the command bar. Use the Reversal command as it displays on-screen, and start attacking the Dusk until the battle comes to an end. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O | | | REACTION COMMANDS | | | | Reversal | | | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O STATION OF SERENITY Similar to the into in the original Kingdom Hearts, select either the Sword, the Shield, or the Staff. Your selection will effect how Sora will level in Kingdom Hearts II. The Sword Raises Strength. Increases Attack Power. The Staff Raises Intellect. Increases Mana and Magic Power. The Shield Raises Defense. Increases Attack Reduction. Following your selection, you will battle three Dusks, receiving a Keyblade to do so. The Keyblade is a weapon capable of destroying enemies that other weapons cannot. Remember to use the Reversal command, as the ability should definitely come in handy throughout Kingdom Hearts II. After the battle, open the nearby treasure chest to create a door. Continue into the Station of Calling. STATION OF CALLING Head up the path to the third platform, defeating the Dusks on the way. You should see a door leading you to the Twilight Thorn. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O HP: 300 / Boss Battle: Twilgiht Thorn / O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O Twilight Thorn has one of eight attacks, four of which you will be able to counter. Watch for the Reaction commands carefully, as Twilight Thorn will easily beat your to oblivion. When the Twilight Thorn begins to charge up, run after it's head and begin sending out your basic attacks, using Potions when necessary, as this will be a difficult battle. Once the screen transitions to white, Roxas will be held in place, unable to act. Watch for a series of Reaction commands, pressing the triangle button once it has prompted you to do so. Once Roxas has performed a series of counter- attacks, Twilight Thorn will create a circular form, then send out several Nobodies. Use the Reaction commands to reach Twilight Thorn's head. Repeat until the Twilight Thorn has been defeated. Should you run low on health, defeat the Nobodies to receive HP Balls. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O | | | REACTION COMMANDS | | | | Key Counter, Lunarsault, Break Raid, Reversal | | | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O | The Fouth Day | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O Stock up on Potion at the Item Shop at Station Heights if needed, and then return to the Sandlot. Here's how the Struggle competition works. Both you and your opponent have 100 Orbs that act as hit points. The person who has the most orbs at the end of each match is victorious. O - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = O S T R U G G L E C O M P E T I T I O N O - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = O = Round 1: Hayner = Round 3: Setzer Hayner Setzer = Round 2: Vivi Vivi O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O HP: 210 / Struggle Match: Hayner / O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O Hayner's attacks are quite basic. He will do a three hit combo. If you hit him too many times, he begins blocking your attacks. When you see him move off into the distance, move to the side to avoid Hayner's charge. You'll be unable to use Reaction commands, so try to remain behind him. He shouldn't be too difficult. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O HP: 105 / Mini-Battle: Seifer / O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O Once Hayner has been defeated, you have the option to battle Seifer in the Back Alley, near the entrance to the Sandlot. Fight Seifer as often as you want. Simply exit and re-enter the Back Alley and challenge him once again. Seifer will use two main attacks on you. He will either strike you with an aerial attack, or several consecutive attacks. Seifer's aerial attack will cause quite a bit of damage, but can easily be avoided. It will also leave Seifer wide open, giving you a great opportunity to attack. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O HP: 105 / Struggle Match: Vivi / O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O Vivi is quite evasive to most of your physical attacks. He jumps back, and then charge at you with an attack. Vivi's second attack will charge at you with a spinning attack. Vivi's third attack will charge at you with a horizontal swing, which will then be followed by a massive ground impact. Pay close attention to Vivi's moves, and strike after he has made an attempt to attack you. You might be able to score at least two combos on Vivi during this time. Vivi's final attack will cause him to levitate into the air, then start to circle around you, waving his weapon wildly. Watch him closely so you will catch his pattern. This will help you avoid this attack. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O After defeating Vivi, you will begin a battle against three Dusks. Once the Dusks have been defeated, you will encounter Axel. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O HP: 105 / Boss Battle: Axel / O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O Axel is quick, and dual-equipped. After he kneels, move out of the way, as he will quickly charge towards you and strike you down with a strong fiery attack from behind. However, this leaves him wide open for an attack. Axel's second attack is prompted when he shouts, "Don't make me mad!". The attack sets Axel ablaze, rushing towards you, and then dealing a string of attacks. One strategy that works against Axel is to jump into the air once he begins his string of attacks. At that point, turn around and attack him from behind. A second strategy is to push Axel into a corner and unleash several combos on him, though it's risky because Axel can just as easily send you in that same corner. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O After defeating Axel, the Struggle competition will continue with your last opponent. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O HP: 105 / Struggle Match: Setzer / O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O This battle can play out one of two ways. If you win, you will receive the Champion's Belt. If you lose, you will receive a Medal. Setzer is a decent challenge, and quite quick, but will often rest to catch his breath. Setzer does his best to provoke you, which gives you a good opportunity to attack. Finish with a combo before moving off to the side, because he will quickly regain his focus. You'll want to attack Setzer either from the side, or from behind, because Setzer will counter-attack whenever he manages to block your attacks. Though Setzer may be slow, he has two attacks that are quite powerful. His aerial attack, and his consecutive jab attack, both being rather difficult to avoid. Keep moving, and strike once he leaves himself open. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O | The Fifth Day | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O Exit the Usual Spot to the Back Alley, and then continue to Station Heights. Head up the hill to the Station Plaza and enter Central Station to initiate a cutscene. You will eventually arrive at Sunset Station. Continue down the stairs to Sunset Terrace. To make navigation much easier, each objective will be exaplined thoroughly, starting from the Sunset Station / Sunset Terrace entry point. After you've completed an objective, return to the Sunset Station / Sunset Terrace entry point to begin the next objective. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O | Wonder #1 | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O Approach the stairs near the ticket center at Sunset Station to initiate a cutscene. Watch the cutscene to discover the first wonder. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O | Wonder #2 | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O Head up the stairs on your right, and then proceed along the tram tracks. Once you reach the end, proceed up the stairs to your right, then around the corner to your left. Proceed to the top of Sunset Hill, then examine the bag. Use the Reaction command to jump on the bag, and then again each time it prompts you to do perform a Reaction Command. Once the stamina gauge has emptied, the mini-game will be completed. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O | Wonder #3 | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O Head up the stairs on your right, and then proceed along the tram tracks. Once you reach the end, proceed up the stairs to your right, then around the corner on your right. Investigate the dark tunnel on your left. Vivi awaits inside. You'll be battling three Vivis instead of one. Each Vivi can be defeated in one strike, but defeating one will spawn another. Defeat Vivi just as you did in the Struggle competition, and don't let him outnumber you. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O | Wonder #4 | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O Head up the stairs to your right, and then continue to the alley on your right. Approach Hayner, and then turn towards another alley to the right. Approach and investigate the brown brick wall. Several balls will begin emerging from the brick wall. You need to evade and jump past the balls to reach the brick wall. Each ball that hits you will knock you back a short distance. Once you reach the wall, press the triangle button to complete the objective. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O | Wonder #5 | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O Head up the stairs on your right, and then proceed along the tram tracks. Once you reach the end, proceed down the stairs to your left and examine the waterfall. If you're familiar with the basic attacks and combos that Roxas uses, it should be a rather easy battle. Trap Shadow Roxas in a corner and strike him with your strongest attacks. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O | Wonder #6 | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O Head up the stairs on your right, and then proceed along the tram tracks. When you reach the end, proceed up the stairs to your right, then around the corner to your left. Proceed into Sunset Hill to initiate a cutscene. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O | Wonder #7 | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O Proceed to the Tram Common, and then through the crack in the wall. Head through the woods to the Old Mansion. Watch the cutscene to discover the seventh wonder. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O | The Sixth Day | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O Twilight Town has become overrun by Nobodies. Exit the Usual Spot, and then defeat the Nobodies. Following the cutscene, proceed to the Tram COmmon and enter through the crack in the wall. Proceed through the woods to reach the Old Mansion. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O | The Old Mansion | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O Proceed to the second floor, and then enter the White Room on the west side of the Mansion Foyer. Following the cutscene, exit the White Room, and then continue to the Library on the opposite side of the Mansion Foyer. Start down the stairs, and then enter the Computer Room. After the cutscene, proceed through the door which just opened. Defeat the Nobodies to initiate a cutscene. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O HP: 345 / Boss Battle: Axel / O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O Axel is quick, and dual-equipped. After he kneels, move out of the way, as he will quickly charge towards you and strike you down with a strong fiery attack from behind. However, this leaves him wide open for an attack. The surrounding area is set ablaze with a massive wall of fire. You cannot be near it, because it does burn you. Axel will constantly escape into the fire, and rush towards you with a wall of fire trailing behind him. Using the Lock-On command and Reaction commands are essential to defeating Axel. Watch for the "Burst Edge" Reaction command to appear, as this gives you a good opportunity to score an aerial combo and some decent damage. If you see Axel set himself ablaze, move out of the way and don't let him hit you, as this is one of Axel's most powerful attacks. Throughout this battle, Axel will constantly change the floor into searing magma, which will deal a set amount of damage of a period of time. You may want to defeat Axel quickly, because he does cast this ability quite a bit.

O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O / Mini-Battle: Morale Challenge / O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O Morale plays an important role in the Land of Dragons. Each enemy that you defeat in a scripted battle will drop orbs, needed to boost morale. If the "Morale Gauge" runs empty, you must restart the battle. To boost morale, defeat enemies quickly, or collect the orbs that drop. It is necessary to come out victorious in a battle. You will lose morale over a set period of time, or when your party takes too much damage.

It requires that you scout the entire Encampment for eight Heartless. You may need to attempt this battle more than once, as it can be quite challenging. Your morale will lower rapidly, so once you encounter a Heartless, get rid of it quickly, then pick up the orbs to boost your morale. The battle ends after you have defeat eight Heartless, or when your "Morale Gauge" has run empty.

Proceed across the river and up the hill to the next area. You will need to battle through several Heartless as you progress through the mountain pass. Keep your morale strong and destroy the barricades along the way. Focus on destroying the barricades while your other party members eliminate all the Heartless. To destroy a barricade, you will need to approach it and rapidly press the Reaction command until you've destroyed the barricade. This battle will be over if your "Morale Gauge" has depleted. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O | | | Obtained Village Area Map | | | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O Head into the Village Cave, and then enter the large room to start a battle against several Heartless. Defeat the Heartless, and then exit the cave. Go back to the village to initiate a cutscene. After the cutscene, proceed to the Ridge. The entrance to the Summit can be found on the north-western side of the ridge, but you must ride the wind to access it, because the path is too steep. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O / Mini-Battle: Shan-Yu's Army / O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O Focus on the Bolt Towers before attacking the Rapid Thrusters. If too many Rapid Thruster begin to outnumber you, use the Speed Trap Reaction command. Don't bother with the Lock-On command, because you do not want to focus on just one enemy. There's also too many Heartless nearby to use it. This battle will not last long, so just try to keep your health sufficient, attacking your opponents until the battle comes to an end. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O | | | REACTION COMMANDS | | | | Speed Trap, Bolt Reversal | | | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O Head back to the Ridge to initiate a cutscene. Return to the Checkpoint and proceed through the eastern gate to the Imperial City. Defeat the Heartless, and then approach the palace. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O HP: 102 Hayabusa / Boss Battle: Shan-Yu / HP: 442 Shan-Yu O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O You'll have two objectives in this battle. Your top priority is to protect the Palace Gates, so whenever you see Heartless, swarming near the palace entrance, stop attacking Shan-Yu and start attacking the Heartless. You'll be able to restore the stability of the gate by collecting orbs dropped by the Heartless. Hayabusa will make several attempts to move you away from the palace. You can't really avoid this, so just run back towards the palace. Don't worry about attacking Hayabusa, as Shan-Yu will just as easily send it back out within moments. Once the Heartless have been defeated, turn your focus to Shan-Yu. He will strike you several times consecutively, so it's rather difficult to attack him. Your best bet would be to clash weapons, and then perform a Breakdown Reaction command. You'll need to press the triangle button repeatedly once you clash weapons. When Shan-Yu has almost been defeated, he will enter his second phase that prompts several more powerful attacks. Though he doesn't seem to spawn any Heartless, wait for an opening, rather than just rushing in to attack. The battle will be over when either Shan-Yu is defeated or the palace gate has been destroyed.

Ascend the central staircase, and then proceed up the stairs to your right to reach Belle's Room. Open the large treasure chest next to Belle to obtain the Castle Map. Leave Belle's Room to return to the East Wing, and then to the Entrance Hall. Now proceed down the stairs, and then up into the West Hall. Approach the Wardrobe, and then press the Reaction command repeatedly until the bubbles above her have disappeared. You must then refrain from pressing the Reaction command until the Wardrobe has once again fallen asleep. Enter into the Undercroft. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O HP: 137 Thresholder / Boss Battle: Thresholder / Posessor / HP: 98 Possessor O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O Focus on the Gargoyles before attacking Thresholder and Possesor. It's not an easy battle, as Thresholder and Possesor have some strong attacks. They will summon Hook Bats and Gargoyles which can be disregarded, as they will not pose a threat. If Thresholder and Possessor throw you towards the back of the room, press the O Button immediately to get back on your feet. When you've wasted it's health to nothing, press the Reaction command to transform Thresholder and Possessor into dark matter. You won't defeat Thresholder and Possessor just yet, but attack it anyways until it returns to the door. At that point, return to square one. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O | | | REACTION COMMANDS | | | | Release | | | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O Proceed into the Dungeon to initiate a cutscene, then open the chest in the north-eastern corner to obtain the Basement Map. Return to the Undercroft. Speak to Cogsworth upstairs, then continue into the Secret Passage to begin a mini-game. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O / Mini-Game: Secret Passage / O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O The first lantern is directly in front of you. Destoy the crate, then head towards the lantern. Use the Reaction command to light the lantern. Now go down the southern corridor. Destroy the crates, and then light the second lantern. One more lantern to light before you unlock the secret door. Continue up the stairs, then head around the corner to your right. Destroy the crates, then light your third and final lantern. If the "Cogsworth Gauge" runs empty during this puzzle, the challenge will restart. Approach Cogsworth and push the Reaction command to replenish the "Cogsworth Gauge". O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O Return to the West Hall, and then up the stairs to the West Wing. Go up the stairs and down the corridor to Beast's Room. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O HP: 156 / Boss Battle: Beast / O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O Beast is quite easy, you just need to keep attacking him, and then use the Wake Up! Reaction command. His main attack deals damage to every member in your party, but he won't deal too much damage. You need to defeat Beast quickly, because each time you deplete his health, he will regain it shortly if you fail to make him come to his senses. Once Beast is low on health, hit the Reaction command rapidly to charge up, and then the battle should be over. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O | | | REACTION COMMANDS | | | | Wake Up!, Charge, Get Up! | | | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O After the battle, return to the Belle's Room, and then talk to the Wardrobe before returning to the Entrance Hall. After the cutscene, proceed into the Ballroom. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O HP: 176 (SS) / Boss Battle: Shadow Stalker / Dark Thorn / HP: 390 (DT) O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O The Shadow Stalker has one of several attacks, difficult to explain. It is by no means an easy battle. First, it has an electric attack similar to Hades' Fire Spin attack, known in the original Kingdom Hearts. The only way that you can avoid this is by running around in the direction it's spinning. It may also attempt to suck you into to darkness, and then spit you back out. Fortunately, it will not deal too much damage. It will hide quite often, so you will constantly need to press the Lock-On command. At some point in the battle, the Shadow Stalker disappears into a pillar against the wall, prompting you to attack the one filling with dark energy. Approach this pillar and start attacking it. Once the Reaction command appears, release the Shadow Stalker, then attack it once again. When the Shadow Stalker moves to the chandelier, strike the chanelier until the Reaction command appears. Push the Reaction command to release the Shadow Stalker. Similar to the Stealth Sneak, the Dark Thorn remains invisible quite a bit. If it manages to throw you while stealthed, use a nearby column to counter with a Reaction command. Use the Drive command once the Shadow Stalker has transformed into the Dark Thorn.

Approach Donald, then examine the book to be taken to 100 Acre Wood. Once in 100 Acre Wood, Pooh's House will become available to explore. Enter Pooh's House and open the large treasure chest to receive the 100 Acre Wood Map. Speak to Pooh to initiate a cutscene. After the cutscene, you are thrown out of 100 Acre Wood, then forced into a battle against several Heartless. Once you have defeated the Heartless, you will automatically re-enter 100 Acre Wood. Head back to Pooh's House and speak with Pooh. After the cutscene, you will automatically return to Hollow Bastion.

Proceed through the tunnel on your left to initiate a cutscene. Proceed through the passage and turn right at the end of the tunnel. You'll eventually reach the entrance to the Inner Chamber. Once inside the Inner Chamber, locate a large chest to your right. Open the chest to receive the Underworld Map. Proceed into the Valley of the Dead to initiate a cutscene, then enter Hades' Chamber. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O HP: ??? / Boss Battle: Hades / O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O Right now, Hades cannot be defeated. Save your Drives, Limits, Summons and mana. Hades will be invincible for the duration of this battle, so attacks against him will be meaningless. Nonetheless, attack him anyways until the battle comes to an end. You cannot physically harm Hades while in the Underworld. Why? Because the Underworld has some kind of curse on Sora that saps his strength. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O / Mini-Game: Exit the Underworld / O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O Don't bother going after Hades, cut the ones that matter and run. Start by attacking the Heartless as you progress to the exit. Remember to use Auron and his Limit commands, as he will definitely help. Each time the path has opened, continue moving to the exit. You need to defeat three waves of Heartless before you can exit the Valley of the Dead. Once inside the Inner Chamber, you will no longer need to run from Hades. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O Once back in the Inner Chamber, head back to the Passage, then backtrack to the Unerworld Entrance. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O HP: 440 / Boss Battle: Cerberus / O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O You'll be battling Cerbeus with Auron. Donald and Goofy do not help you in this battle. Cerberus has developed quite a few more skills since when you fought it in the original Kingdom Hearts. Cerberus is extremely quick, and quite difficult. After it switches to the aggressive stance, start attacking with everything you've got. If Cerberus throws you back quite a distance, immediately press the O Button to regain your balance. Each time Cerberus jumps in the air, you need to jump as well to avoid the powerful impact Cerberus makes when he lands. Cerberus has a crippling attack, prompted after it has grabbed Sora by the teeth. You can avoid a series of powerful attacks, performing the Reaction command that display on-screen. This will momentarily stun Cerberus.
