Walkthrough**********************KH4************************************** At the start, you are going to see some cutscenes. Fast forward a bit until the gameplay starts and... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 7 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Basically, a set of cutscenes. A key thing to notice to pro-KH players: No. XIV was introduced into Organization XIII, a group which, before, had 13 members. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 8 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saix is the guy who'll give you most of your missions. Talk to him to get the day's mission(s). He's the blue-haired guy. ============================================================================= Mission #01: Learn Mission Basics (Twilight Town) Number of Chests: 1 Clear Rewards: None Random Rewards: Fire Recipe/Blazing Shard/Moonstone/Potion Ally: Axel ============================================================================= Mainly a controls tutorial. Go talk to Axel, then find the chest with the Potion at the north exit of the Underground Passage - your current area. Now, go back to where you started and "Examine" the dark, swirling circle. This little bit is typical for almost every mission. Some cutscenes and mission complete. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 9 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ============================================================================= Mission #02: Learn the basics of combat (Twilight Town) Number of Chests: None Clear Rewards: None Random Rewards: Fire Recipe/Blazing Shard/Moonstone/Potion Ally: Marluxia ============================================================================= Another tutorial - this being on combat. First, you'll fight off some Shadows. Next up, some Yellow Operas. Simple enough. Also, you are introduced to the "Chain" in this mission. What it does is, when you defeat a Heartless (be it Pureblood or Emblem), a circle of light appears around other enemy targets. Hit that target to expand it. If you defeat an Emblem Heartless in this time, you'll get extra Heart Points. These can be very useful at times, so try to get as many as you possibly can! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 10 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ============================================================================= Mission #03: Learn about your field duties (Twilight Town) Number of Chests: 1 Clear Rewards: Fire (x3) Random Rewards: Fire Recipe/Blazing Shard/Moonstone/Potion Ally: Zexion ============================================================================= You are now in Tram Common, one of Twilight Town's largest areas. In it at this time are seven Heartless. Your current goal is to find and defeat them. Once you do, a message saying that you're allowed to leave. Zexion points out that there is more optional stuff to do. In this case, defeat six more Heartless. Why should you do this? Mainly, it gives more EXP./munny/hearts/items/etc. Also, you get more rewards at the end of the mission and may end up unlocking some characters. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 11 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Before starting, the Panels menu is unlocked in the menu. This will allow you to change your equipment, items, magic, abilities, etc. At this point, equip the Fire panels you unlocked in your last mission. ============================================================================= Mission #04: Learn how to use magic (Twilight Town) Number of Chests: 3 Clear Rewards: Scan, Potion, Ether Random Rewards: Fire Recipe/Blazing Shard/Moonstone/Potion Ally: Larxene ============================================================================= At the start, some Heartless appear - some Dire Plants, which are weak against the Fire magic you brought. "But I have a Keyblade!" Not yet! Your goal is to learn how to use magic. Use the Fire magic aganist the enemies. (If you mess up, Larxene will restore your magic). The second wave includes more Heartless. You can use your Keyblade now, so go at it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 12 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- At this point, go into the Panels menu and equip the "Scan" panel you have. It will let you see your opponent's HP. ============================================================================= Mission #05: Learn about reconnaissance (Twilight Town) Number of Chests: 1 Clear Rewards: Dodge Roll (1-slot), Fire Random Rewards: Fire Recipe/Blazing Shard/Moonstone/Potion Ally: Vexen ============================================================================= This mission is mainly about the recon missions, which are rather few in number. You have to examine some areas - in this case... - North & South stores - The road between the two Then Vexen shows you how to PROPERLY conduct recon. Now examine... - Grate in southwest - Stairs beside southern alcove - Grate in northeast And that's all for this mission. However, there is an optional objective, check these areas: - Floor in southern alcove - Northeast wall in the northern alcove Mission complete! Yay! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 13 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Equip the Dodge Roll and let's go. ============================================================================= Mission #06: Learn about Limit Breaks (Twilight Town) Number of Chests: 0 Clear Rewards: Skill Gear (1-slot) Random Rewards: Fire Recipe/Blazing Shard/Moonstone/Potion Ally: Lexaeus ============================================================================= Lexaeus will explain about Limit Breaks and - OW! What the heck was that for?!? Let's use it on ... the Mega Shadow. A Limit Break has many similarities in FF games (Limit - FF7, Overdrive - FF10, and so on). The main point of this one is, when you have about 1/3 of your HP left (the yellow area), you can use the Limit by holding A for about 2-3 sec. This will allow you to totally tear the enemy up. You'll do massive damage; you aren't invincible, however. You can still take damage, but that's rather rare in most cases. Anyways, kill the Mega Shadow. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 14 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yay! No more tutorials! The Holo-Mission option is unlocked in the menu. This allows you play missions already done before. Equip the Skill Gear, which gives a more powerful weapon. Also, talk to Larxene to get a Potion. (Bonuses like this are usually items or extra missions; it isn't horrible to miss one, but it may be worth your while). ============================================================================= Mission #07: Collect hearts (Twilight Town) Number of Chests: 3 Clear Rewards: Block (2-slot), Shining Shard, Moonstone Random Rewards: Fire Recipe/Blazing Shard/Moonstone/Potion Ally: Axel ============================================================================= The main goal is to get heart points. In other words, battle. The battles in this mission are in set locations. The first occurs on the slope in Station Heights. It is aganist four Yellow Operas and five Possessors. I can only say to watch if a Possessor latches on you, as, with the confusion, you may not notice it and die. Otherwise, easy. The second, and mission-ending, battle occurs at Station Plaza. It is against Yellow Operas and Scarlet Tangos, which are mainly magical Heartless. Avoid using Fire on the red ones - the Scarlet Tangos - or they will absorb it. To fully complete this mission, just find some more stray Heartless. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Days 15-17 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- At this point, you're issued multiple missions at once. If you complete #08, you can even skip the others! Also, equip the Block panel. There are bonuses from Zexion and Marluxia. ============================================================================= Mission #08: Eliminate the Watchers (Twilight Town) Number of Chests: 2 Clear Rewards: Blazing Shard (x2), Potion Random Rewards: Fire Recipe/Blazing Shard/Moonstone/Potion Ally: Larxene ============================================================================= The goal is to defeat seven Watchers. You will three of them in Station Plaza and Station Heights, and the last four will be in the Sandlot. They have a bit of a weakness to Fire, so bring a couple of spells. ============================================================================= Mission #09: Collect hearts (Twilight Town) Number of Chests: 7 Clear Rewards: Shining Shard, Ether, Hi-Potion Random Rewards: Fire Recipe/Blazing Shard/Moonstone/Potion Ally: Marluxia ============================================================================= For this, head over to the mansion. To get there, go through the hole in the wall and through the woods. At this point, at the mansion, at lot of Dire Plants pop-up. Going in there with just the Keyblade is NOT a good idea. Try using Fire for an instant kill, or block the shots for another one-hit kill. Either way, once you're done, you might want to leave and NOT fight the Zip Slasher. If you want to, note he has 7-8 HP bars, and you're level two or three, maybe four. Think about it. If you do, note his pattern. At most points, he'll do a spin-slash attack. When attacked a lot before this, he'll block and THEN do it, and drain HP. He also has extremely high Defense (which is why high-level players have trouble), and it will take quite a while to win. Good luck! ============================================================================= Mission #10: Prove your endurance (The Castle That Never Was) Number of Chests: None Clear Rewards: Fire, Fire Recipe, Potion Random Rewards: Fire Recipe/Blazing Shard/Moonstone/Potion Ally: None ============================================================================= Run away; use Potions/Limits when needed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 22 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Equip some Fire spells, as they will help in this mission. ============================================================================= Mission #11: Eliminate the Guardian Number of Chests: 5 Clear Rewards: Doublecast, Blazing Shard (x2) Random Rewards: Fire Recipe/Blazing Shard/Moonstone/Potion Ally: Axel ============================================================================= You start out in Station Plaza. If you head forward a bit, you'll notice on of the new enemies to this mission - the Minute Bomb. It's best to Fire them from a distance, as it will kill it, result in an explosion, and kill any nearby enemies. If you're hit with it, you'll take a little damage. Head into the Underground Passage. To get the destination - to the Sandlot, northwest - you have to activate all three of the switches. The first is in the first room you'll get to. Activate it, and go into the room you just opened. Next, activate the switch in that room. Now head to the northwestern area of the map. There will be some Heartless there; defeat them and activate the switch. Leave the Underground Passage. The Side Street is pretty straightforward. Just head to the Sandlot. In it, you'll find some Watchers and a Guardian (the big Watcher). They all have a weakness to Fire - at least they do in my experience - so get to it! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 23 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Equip the Doublecast you got in your previous mission. This will double each cast of magic equipped on it. Equip some Fires and the Loaded Gear from the last mission, if you bothered to get it. You can talk to Demyx for a Blazing Shard. ============================================================================= Mission #12: Eliminate the Poison Plant (Twilight Town) Number of Chests: 2 Clear Rewards: Sign of Resolve, Fire Recipe (x2) Random Rewards: Fire Recipe/Blazing Shard/Moonstone/Potion Ally: Xion ============================================================================= Get to the Underground Passage. You have to head to the southern exit for this mission. Once you get there, you'll see a Poison Plant. Fire magic is best on this enemy. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 24 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- At the end of the last mission, you got the Sign of Resolve. This is a ring panel. It boosts your stats and sometimes gives you special abilities. However, you can only use one at a time. ============================================================================= Mission #13: Eliminate the Deserters (Twilight Town) Number of Chests: 1 Clear Rewards: Skill Gear+, Moonstone (x2) Random Rewards: Fire Recipe/Blazing Shard/Moonstone/Potion Ally: Xion ============================================================================= This mission will take place in the Sandlot - go forward. The Deserters are freakishly fast enemies. Usually, chasing after them is in vain. There are so many, you might accidentally go after one that isn't going to rest soon. Your best bet is to use Fire on one you've locked onto and wait for the others to get near you - which they will. Start wailing on them, and rinse and repeat. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 25 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Although you have the Skill Gear+, stick with the Loaded Gear. It has better stats and will even save a little space! Talk to Xaldin for a Moonstone. ============================================================================= Mission #14: Eliminate the Darkside (Twilight Town) Number of Chests: 5 Clear Rewards: Blizzard (x2), Frost Shard Random Rewards: Fire Recipe/Blazing Shard/Moonstone/Potion Ally: Xion ============================================================================= Leave the Side Street and head up the slope to Station Plaza. The Darkside has the same attacks in did in the KH1 battles. The pattern it follows is: (1) Punches ground and summons Shadows. (2) Punches ground and creates a shockwave. (3) Fires homing balls. Deflect these with a Block. (4) Punches ground and creates a shockwave. (5) Punches ground and sends a red ball into the air. This creates homing balls that will home in on you, so keep moving! Then it repeats. There are three weak points on the Darkside. The hands are easiest to hit on the first attack of his pattern. However, the head takes more damage. Lock onto it while Blocking the homing ball (attack #3). Alternately, get some distance between you and it, lock onto the head, and fire some Fire. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 26 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- You just now got promoted to Novice. The Moogle Shop is open, too. You need some stuff now. - Chrono Gear - Triplecast - Some new ring, preferably Soldier Ring. - Slot Releaser - Level Up - Aerial Recovery - More items Equip these and get ready to go. Also, equip a new weapon panel and talk to Xaldin twice for a Hi-Potion. ============================================================================= Mission #15: Investigate this new world (Agrabah) Number of Chests: 5 Clear Rewards: Ability Unit, Shining Shard, Blizzard Random Rewards: Shining Shard/Iron/Potion Ally: Xigbar ============================================================================= You are now doing your first official recon mission. In the area you're at (the palace), there is no need to investigate anything. Just hit the lever next to the gate and go. In this area, investigate... - The wall on the west bridge - The eastern bridge Hit the lever in the northwestern corner to continue. In the new area, investigate... - Door of northwest building - The big pil of sand by the gate Xigbar will now ask some questions. Head back to the palace. You'll have to sneak by Aladdin and Jasmine, so head to up the steps, across the bridge, and go to the exit. Listen in a little and head to the dark corridor, if you want to leave now. To fully finish, investigate... - The palace gates - South exit of the Agrabah Gate Go to the dark corridor and pass out. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Days 51-54 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wake up man! Equip the Ability Unit onto your Chrono Gear. If you've gotten every chest in Mission #14, Demyx will give you a Shining Shard. Completion of one of these missions will make Saix give you a 5-slot LV Doubler. ============================================================================= Mission #16: Eliminate the Fire Plants (Agrabah) Number of Chests: 5 Clear Rewards: Shining Shard, Panacea, Elixir Recipe Random Rewards: Shining Shard/Iron/Potion Ally: None ============================================================================= Equip some Blizzards beforehand. You have to kill seven Fire Plants. They are in these locations: - Palace 1. South side 2. Northwest building's top - Agrabah Street 1. Southeast corner 2. The eastern bridge - Agrabah Gate 1. Center 2. Northeast building's top 3. Top of southwest building The first four of these are easy enough. However, the Barrier Master in the Agrabah Gate area will shield the Fire Plants there, so you have to kill him first. Whack him around until he drops his book. At this point, he is VERY weak against magic/physical attacks. Once you kill him, you can attack the Fire Plants there. The optional objective cannot be completed in this mission, so just go to the dark corridor when you're done. Also, the Loaded Gear+ isn't as good as the Chrono Gear, so don't equip it. ============================================================================= Mission #17: Eliminate the Tailbunker (Twilight Town) Number of Chests: 2 Clear Rewards: Shining Shard, Blazing Shard, Frost Shard Random Rewards: Fire Recipe/Blazing Shard/Moonstone/Potion/Ether Ally: None ============================================================================= Beforehand, get as many Blizzards and Potions/Hi-Potions as you possibly can. You start out in Station Plaza. Head to Station Heights, then down the slope to Tram Common. It's best to attack from a distance with Blizzard. ============================================================================= Mission #18: Collect Organization emblems (Agrabah) Number of Chests: 4 Clear Rewards: Iron, Panacea, Blizzard Random Rewards: Shining Shard/Iron/Potion Ally: None ============================================================================= This type of mission is rather rare compared to most missions. Here, you collect Organization emblems. Sounds simple, right? Wrong! You can't just grab them however and whenever you want. If you noticed, there is a ring of green light around them. Collecting one fully expands the rings of other emblems in that world. So what's the catch? To fully complete a mission of this kind, you must get all of the emblems with all of their rings still intact. They can be recharged by defeating enemies or collecting other emblems. However, just one uncharged emblem will totally screw up the mission for you. The ones you need to watch out for are: - The one in the air on Agrabah Street's midwest side - The palace area's southwestern building - The palace area's southwest edge ============================================================================= Mission #19: Eliminate the Deserters (Agrabah) Number of Chests: 3 Clear Rewards: Shining Shard (x2), Frost Shard Random Rewards: Shining Shard/Iron/Potion Ally: None ============================================================================= Basically, kill one with a Fire spell and QUICKLY attack those that come near to you. Another (risky) strategy makes you wait until you can do a Limit and then kill one with Fire and start that Limit. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 71 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can now do Challenges. Talk to Xaldin for a Hi-Potion. ============================================================================= Mission #20: Destroy the Shadow Globs (Twilight Town) Number of Chests: 2 Clear Rewards: Iron, Ether, Guard Unit Random Rewards: Fire Recipe/Blazing Shard/Moonstone/Potion/Ether Ally: None ============================================================================= Equip some Fire spells beforehand. The Shadow Globs are a different kind of Heartless. They hide nooks and crannies almost everywhere. Early on in the game, a fair amount have to be hit by magic just to be reached. Including this set. Their locations: - Side Street: Near the west exit - Side Street: South wall - Sandlot: West wall - Sandlot: Southeast corner - Tram Common: Just north of the south bridge - Tram Common: Alleyway between the two central buildings - Tram Common: South alcove - Tram Common: Center of the southwest courtyard on the ground - Tram Common: High on the northwest wall near the stairs (use magic) - Tram Common: Wall southeast of the northwest stairs - Tram Common: Northeast corner building top (use magic from the east central building top) - Tram Common: North alcove - Tram Common: High on the southeast wall (use magic) Only eight need to be killed to complete the mission, all thirteen for the full mission gauge. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 72 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ============================================================================= Mission #21: Collect hearts (Agrabah) Number of Chests: 8 Clear Rewards: Cure, Magic LV2 (4-slot), Cure Random Rewards: Shining Shard/Iron/Potion Ally: Axel ============================================================================= This is a very long mission (5 minutes if you hurry), so be careful. At first, leave the palace area. In the Agrabah Street, you'll see Pete looking around. Stay out of the red area (his vision), while keeping him in your blue area (your vision). Barely stepping into his vision makes the whole thing restart in that area. If you let him leave your vision for more than a little over a second, same thing. After all of this crazy mini-game, you end up in the Cave of Wonders. In the Entrance Room, go around and kill all of the Heartless. Then, examine the floor in front of the golden pillar, then hit it until it's up against the western part of the wall. Take the box in the northern area and knock it beside the gray pillar in the southeast. Climb up the box and pillar so that you hit the lever and open the door in the northeast. Take the box and knock it beside the golden pillar. Climb up them. Defeat the Heartless up here and go through the door. In this room, there are quite a few Loudmouths and Dire Plants. Get rid of all of them and the Large Armor should appear. Its weak point is the head - that's all. After it takes some damage, it'll fall onto the ground. At that point, completely wail on it. It'll soon get up, swing its arms, and jump onto you or your ally (if any). Then the cycle repeats. The Large Armor will immediately fall over if hit by Fire magic, and will take even longer to get up and also will take extra damage from Fire attacks when down. Killing the Large Armor allows you to leave, but you can still do more. Hit the switch in the northeastern area. The pillars in the room will start moving up and down. Keep going on them until you reach the entrance to a new room. Go into it and grab the chest there. Jump into the darkness. You'll find yourself in the Entrance Room, but a fair deal higher. On these platforms, defeat all of the Heartless. Afterwards, RTC. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 73 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Equip the Magic LV2 panel you've just earned, and put some spells on it. This panel powers up spells linked to it (notice I "powers up", not "strengthens"). In other words, Thunder will release more bolts, and Cure will grant temporal invincibility. The Magic LV2 will give two levels to each panel on it. So, a magic can be raised to LV5 (as it's the max) with just this panel. You can talk to Xaldin to trade a Blazing Shard for a Frost Shard. ============================================================================= Mission #22: Eliminate the Sergeant (Beast's Castle) Number of Chests: 5 Clear Rewards: Backpack, Shining Shard (x2) Random Rewards: Frost Shard, Ether Ally: None ============================================================================= You start out on the bridge of this new world. Go forward a bit and grab the two chests. In the Courtyard, the statues are out of place. See the lightly- colored circles near them? Knock the statues in those circles. A hidden door will open up. Go through it. In this area, start flipping switches. However, you first have to defeat the Heartless near them. Defeat them quickly so that you can keep a Chain going for a while and for a fair amount of hearts. Eventually, you will be able to go through a hole in a wall. Go through it. In the Entrance Hall, start walking to the door. The Sargeant will come. He isn't hard, just a larger Soldier, really. Once you beat him, examine the door and go through it. In the Courtyard, head to the bridge again and RTC. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 74 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Equip the Backpack panel and talk to Axel. He'll give you a Hi-Ether (not related to Backpack). Synth up a Hi-Potion and talk to Demyx. ============================================================================= Mission #23: Search for Xion (Twilight Town) Number of Chests: 7 Clear Rewards: Air Slide (2-slot), Blazing Shard, Frost Shard Random Rewards: Fire Recipe/Blazing Shard/Moonstone/Potion/Ether Ally: Axel ============================================================================= Head on to the Sandlot. Hayner and Olette mention something about moaning in a tunnel, so head to the Underground Passage. Head to the southern exit. In the Tunnel, you find nothing. Pence comes and talks a bit. You should go back to the Sandlot. Another time of eavesdropping leads you to the trio's "usual spot." KH2 players shouldn't have any trouble finding this; everyone else, go to Under the Tracks. Examine the cans to the right of the entrance. Head on back to Pence. Pence will talk a bit more, then subject you to a test. He'll ask you three questions about Twilight Town which you must correctly answer. The Q & A: 1. What's at the top of Station Heights? Answer: (c) Station Plaza. 2. What's written on the bulletin board in Station Heights? Answer: (b) Scoop up some sea-salt ice cream. 3. How many cars are in the train you can see from Station Plaza? Answer: (c) Just one car. After this, Pence'll mention something about a mysterious tree in the woods. Head on over to Tram Common. Head through the big hole in the wall to get to The Woods. Hit the tree that has leaves falling near it. Something invisible will run off. Head to the mansion. The invisible enemy will reveal itself. The Veil Lizard has three main, easy to block attacks. - Spin. It may blind you. Deflect it with Block, then wail on it again. - Lasers. Again, Block or dodge. - Attract you with his tongue. He usually becomes invisible first. It is hard to Block, but if you do, you stun him temporarily. Use Fire spells from a distance, as they seem to deal extra damage. Don't be afraid to use Limits, and good luck on this easy boss! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Days 75-79 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Talk to Xion for a Panacea. If you've completed Missions 16-19, talk to Axel for Mission 28 to become unlocked. ============================================================================= Mission #24: Investigate the desert cave (Agrabah) Number of Chests: 8 Clear Rewards: Blizzard, Frost Shard (x2) Random Rewards: Shining Shard/Iron/Potion Ally: Xion ============================================================================= Start heading to the Agrabah Gate. Once there, you encounter some Heartless, Scarlet Tangos. Defeat them (remember, they're weak against Blizzard) to rescue Abu. He drops a jewel and Xion picks it up. In the Cave of Wonders, the "staircase" from last time is still here. Use it to get up to the door. Notice that little stone beside it? Examine it and Xion will put the jewel she found in. This raises three cubes around the Cave of Wonders. The first will be in the next room. Like in Mission 21, start climbing up the pillars. Eventually, you'll notice a cube sticking out like a sore thumb on a platform near one of yours. Examine and hit it. If you noticed, it had one + mark on it. Now we have to find the ++ mark one. Head on upward to the Abyss area. Once you enter, jump into the darkness. You'll end back up in the Entrance Hall, but higher. Near you, going to the exit, is another one of those cubes. Since it has the ++, hit it. Now we need to find the +++ one. You probably know where this is - the Abyss. Get back up there. Once you enter the Abyss area, you should head to the right ledge. On it is the +++ cube. Whack it and three platforms will be raised like steps. Hit the cog switch and the door on the northern side of the area will open up. Quickly get to it before it closes. In this new room, head to the statue in front of you. Examine it and Pete will come along. Now you have to fight him. He isn't too hard. Defeat him to finish the mission. ============================================================================= Mission #25: Collect Organization emblems (Twilight Town) Number of Chests: 2 Clear Rewards: Cure, Aerial Tech, Luck Tech Random Rewards: Fire Recipe/Blazing Shard/Moonstone/Potion/Ether Ally: Xion ============================================================================= Another emblem-collecting mission. You can't really finish this until the end of the game - literally. You would need Glide and High Jump (with two LV+'s) equipped. For now, do whatever. ============================================================================= Mission #26: Destroy the Shadow Globs (Agrabah) Number of Chests: 6 Clear Rewards: Fire Recipe, Shining Shard, Fire Random Rewards: Shining Shard/Iron/Potion Ally: Xion ============================================================================= It helps to have some extra Fire spells on hand for this mission. The main challenge will be the Large Armors and Loudmouths in the Agrabah Street area. They can easily be taken down with Fire. The Shadow Globs are in these areas: 1. The Palace: High on the south wall (use Fire) 2. Agrabah Street: Southwest building top 3. Agrabah Street: Northwest building wall (use Fire) 4. Agrabah Gate: Northeast building top 5. Agrabah Gate: Northwest building top 6. Agrabah Gate: Southwest building top Defeat four to finish, all six to fully finish. ============================================================================= Mission #27: Investigate Beast's Castle (Beast's Castle) Number of Chests: 6 Clear Rewards: Iron, Hi-Potion, Iron Random Rewards: Frost Shard/Ether Ally: Xion ============================================================================= Man, I hate recon; I'm battle-oriented. Anyways, investigate: - Bread crumbs in the southeast corner of the Courtyard - The claw marks on the wall in the Entrance Hall Head to the West Hall. Xion will ask you a few questions. Now investigate: - Footprints in upper hallway (West Hall) - The northern exit of the West Hall Watch out for Lumiere - the walking candelabra - and the red area he emits. It will take you back to the room's entrance. Answer some questions and leave, unless you want to do the optional thing: investigate the four closed doors in the Entrance Hall. NOW leave. ============================================================================= Mission #28: Collect hearts (Beast's Castle) Number of Chests: 6 Clear Rewards: Frost Shard, Potion, Combo Tech Random Rewards: Frost Shard/Ether Ally: Xion ============================================================================= The Courtyard presents a mild problem - two Sergeants. It is a good idea to unleash any magic you have brought. They aren't too bad, if you've gained some levels. The magic makes it easier, though. In the Entrance Hall, Cogsworth - the clock - is walking around. Avoid his red area, but go for the two Soldiers on the west and east sides of the hall. Head upstairs and kill more Heartless. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 94 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have opened 80 or more chests total - not too hard to do - talk to Axel for a Lightning Shard. ============================================================================= Mission #29: Eliminate the Neoshadows (Beast's Castle) Number of Chests: 7 Clear Rewards: Treasure Magnet (1-slot), Blazing Shard (x2) Random Rewards: Frost Shard/Ether Ally: Xion ============================================================================= First off, head into the West Hall. Grab the southeastern chest there for a powerful weapon (Strength-wise). Go into the Undercroft and defeat the enemies there. Head onto the upper exit into the Secret Passage. See that raised platform up there? Head towards that. Next up is the Neoshadow, which is simply a more powerful version of a Shadow. After that, two more appear, but Beast will take care of them in the following cutscene. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 95 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you want an Iron, do the Challenge in Mission #16 and obtain at least one Challenge Sigil (you cannot get all three). Talk to Xaldin twice for it. Also, if you do/would rather rely more on your Strength than your magic, equip that Valor Gear you (hopefully) got in the previous mission. Be sure to equip the Treasure Magnet, too. ============================================================================= Mission #30: Collect hearts (Agrabah) Number of Chests: 6 Clear Rewards: Frost Shard, Hi-Potion, Ability Unit Random Rewards: Shining Shard/Iron/Potion Ally: Xion ============================================================================= Most of the Heartless are in the Agrabah Street area, so it's best to head there first. Once you've cleaned up there, the mission gauge should almost be full. Go to the Palace for a Barrier Master and Large Armor. Bring down the Barrier Master with magic in general, and the Large Armor with Fire. To fully complete this mission, defeat the two Fire Plants in the Agrabah Street. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 96 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Talk to Xaldin to trade a Moonstone for an Aerial Tech. Also, equip the Chrono Gear (or the highest Magic stat booster) and as much magic spells as possible. You will thank me. ============================================================================= Mission #31: Eliminate the Bully Dog (Beast's Castle) Number of Chests: 7 Clear Rewards: Pack Extender, Shining Shard, Frost Shard Random Rewards: Frost Shard/Ether Ally: Xion ============================================================================= You REALLY need that high Magic stat and lots of magic for this mission!!! At the start, Roxas gives Xion his Keyblade. But what will you fight with? A stick...? Well, it's his life. This stick will do minimal damage, even at high levels. Therefore, you end up relying on your magic. Luckily, there are quite a few Ethers in this mission. Work your way to the Ballroom. In it is the target - the Bully Dog. It is essentially a larger, more powerful version of the Snapper Dog. For this mission, attack from a distance with Fire/Blizzard spells - it'll be tough to hit with Thunder, because you have to get rather close. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Days 97-100 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- If all the chests are open in Mission #29, talk to Axel to unlock Mission #35. Also, talk to Demyx to trade a Shining Shard for a Rune Tech. Also equip that Pack Entender you earned and put a Backpack panel in it. ============================================================================= Mission #32: Vanquish the Antlion (Agrabah) Number of Chests: 8 Clear Rewards: Aero, Gear Component A, Moonstone Random Rewards: Shining Shard/Iron/Potion Ally: None ============================================================================= Head to the Agrabah Desert. Oh boy... This thing will start underground for a bit. Hit him several times and he'll get mad and speed away. Stay back, because when he gets up, he'll unleash sand pillars. They are fairly easy to dodge - if you're not right in front of him! Next, he'll lunge several times at you. Try to have a wall or something between the two of you. This will stun him and you can get a few hits on him. Eventually, he'll go back underground, and the cycle repeats... ...until he has three bars of HP left. At this point, he'll completely leave the ground and fly. You can't easily outrun him, so just Block him when he gets close. In a bit, he'll start launching rock towards you. Dodge/Block them and hit them back. Several hits - I think three to five - will make him go ahead and fall to the ground stunned. Knock some combos in him. Good luck! ============================================================================= Mission #33: Break the jars (The Castle That Never Was) Number of Chests: 0 Clear Rewards: Fire Recipe, Blazing Shard, Frost Shard Random Rewards: Potion/Ether Ally: None ============================================================================= Simple - but sometimes tough - mission today. Your goal is to break some jars. By hitting them with a combo, the jar will break. It contains different things - items, munny, HP orbs, or enemies. At decent levels, these enemies, Nobodies called Samurai, are easy to beat. Their main weakness seems to be the end of a physical combo. It can take away whole bars of HP. The main goal is to break all of the jars. At this stage, avoid the Samurai. (Also, if you die, the jars that were destroyed remain destroyed if you decide to continue). ============================================================================= Mission #34: Eliminate the Aerial Masters (Agrabah) Number of Chests: 8 Clear Rewards: Cure, Shining Shard, Blazing Shard Random Rewards: Shining Shard/Iron/Potion Ally: None ============================================================================= Bring some Fire spells, as the Aerial Masters seem to be weak against it. Also bring it for the Loudmouths. The Aerial Masters actually aren't hard to kill. Just attack from a distance with Fire and stay locked on to them. They are in these areas: - Agrabah Gate, can't miss him - South end of Sandswept Ruins - North-central area of the Sandswept Ruins - Northeastern corner of the Sandswept Ruins ============================================================================= Mission #35: Collect hearts (Beast's Castle) Number of Chests: 6 Clear Rewards: Blizzard Recipe, Frost Shard, Bronze Random Rewards: Frost Shard/Ether Ally: None ============================================================================= Bring some Fire spells. Actually, scratch that - A CRAPLOAD OF FIRES! You're first hard challenge will be those annoying-at-any-level Snowy Crystals. They can be taken out in one or two Fire spells, so use them. Beware their rolling attack and pound-the-ground moves, as they can freeze you. The next: the Snapper Dogs in the West Wing. I hope you can get lucky, as there are two at once here. Get lucky with the Blizzard, man. The final - and more fun - challenge is the Icy Cubes in the Undercroft. I have two strategies for this. ONE: Fire like there's no tomorrow. TWO: Let the Icy Cubes damage you until you can do a Limit. No more explanation needed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 117 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Another promotion: Rookie. I hope you've been saving up, because I want you to get: - The Duel Gear or Chrono Gear+ - Auto-Life is a MUST - Backpack - Level Up - Slot Releaser - Some more magic, if you want - Some more items, if you're low Also, talk to Demyx to trade an Iron for a Power Tech. ============================================================================= Mission #36: Investigate this new world (Olympus Colosseum) Number of Chests: 2 Clear Rewards: Thunder, Lightning Shard, Thunder Random Rewards: Lightning Shard/Panacea Ally: Xigbar ============================================================================= Finally, one of my favorite worlds! Okay, the only battle in this mission will occur at the very start. Use magic freely - Blizzard on the red Loudmouths, or Flare Notes. Keep in mind that the cannon - Li'l Cannon - is immune to Fire. Okay, that's over with. Now you must investigate these things: - South exit outside the Colosseum - Hades Cup board (south wall, east side) outside the Colosseum - Hercules Cup board (south wall, west side) outside the Colosseum - The gold trophy on the shelf inside the Colosseum - The other gold trophy on the shelf outside the Colosseum Now you will start training with Phil. The goal is to knock barrels into other barrels and get points. As you make a Chain, you'll get more points. Keep an eye out for the dark brown (explosive) barrels, as well as sets of barrels that are close together. This is mainly for fun, but this does give a reward later in the game. I'll explain later, but try to hit 100 points. You can repeat this minigame as much as you want, but you only have to select to not do training when you're tired of it. If you want to finish the optional thing, investigate: - The gold trophy on the west wall inside the Colosseum - The giant statue on the east side outside of the Colosseum Now leave. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 118 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ============================================================================= Mission #37: Vacation (Twilight Town) Number of Chests: 0 Clear Rewards: None Random Rewards: None Ally: None ============================================================================= Finally! Time to get a vacation. While Axel snoozes, let's head over to Twilight Town. You'll end up doing the Grandstander game, very similar to the one in KH2 (in fact, the only difference is character and location!). The main goal is to hit the ball as many times as possible before it hits the ground five times. I have found an easy way to do a seemingly endless combo on this mission. Using any weapon - I think - lock on to the ball and constantly press A. As long as you keep on pressing A, you should do an endless combo. "Cheating" or not, just try to aim for 50+ points, as you'll get a reward later in the game. Also, there's a Unity Badge in the northwest corner of the Sandlot. It, however, will give ZERO Mission Crowns in Mission Mode, so get it just for completion. Whenever you feel that you are sick and tired of hitting a ball, say no to the do-it-again option. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Days 119-122 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some bonuses: Luxord gives Mission #41 if you have a weapon with two linked panels on it; Xigbar gives a Gust Shard for completing Missions #32-35. ============================================================================= Mission #38: Investigate the castle's master (Beast's Castle) Number of Chests: 6 Clear Rewards: Thunder Recipe, Aerora Recipe, Thunder Random Rewards: Elixir Recipe/Gear Component A/Bronze/Hi-Potion/Potion/Ether Ally: Xaldin ============================================================================= Begin by investigating: - Entrance Hall: Locked door in northeast corner (GRAB THE CHEST!) - Footprints near the northeastern statue in the Courtyard - Center of the Ballroom floor - The door to the Beast's room (East Wing) Once you get the "New Breakthrough" message, investigate these parts of the West Wing: - The footprints on the stairs - The northern door And that is almost it. To fully complete this mission, investigate: - The Beast's room's door (East Wing) - Belle's room's door (West Wing) ============================================================================= Mission #39: Collect hearts (Olympus Colosseum) Number of Chests: 3 Clear Rewards: Gear Component A, Shield Tech, Rune Tech Random Rewards: Lightning Shard/Panacea Ally: None ============================================================================= Bring some Thunder spells and the Chrono Gear or Chrono Gear+ (the latter, if possible). The first fight begins outside the Colosseum with some Flare Notes and a Jumbo Cannon. The Flare Notes are weak against Blizzard. The Jumbo Cannon is simply a larger, more powerful version of a Li'l Cannon. After this, Phil will rush you into the Colosseum where a giant Heartless has appeared - the Clay Armor. Similar to Large Armors, but its weakness is Thunder spells. If you run out of them, attack with aerial combos. At all times, watch for his shockwave and the jumps, which are always towards you. With that done, you have another training thing similar to the one in Mission #36, but this time, aim for the Soldiers. Keep up a Chain, and note that the barrels are one-hit kills. You only get to do this three times in this mission, then, or you finish if it takes more than three tries, Phil will leave. Try to get a huge Chain and about 150 or so points for a future reward. After you leave or Phil does, RTC. ============================================================================= Mission #40: Eliminate the Deserters (Olympus Colosseum) Number of Chests: 3 Clear Rewards: Cure Recipe, Lightning Shard (x2) Random Rewards: Lightning Shard/Panacea Ally: None ============================================================================= This is almost the same as the previous time you did this, except for the Soldiers; I'll give you the strategy for last time. BUT, don't entirely ignore the Soldiers, as you can easily rack up 5 to 8 or more Shield Techs here. The strategy: Basically, kill one with a Fire spell and QUICKLY attack those that come near to you. Another (risky) strategy makes you wait until you can do a Limit and then kill one with Fire and start that Limit. ============================================================================= Mission #41: Eliminate the Morning Star (Olympus Colosseum) Number of Chests: 3 Clear Rewards: Aero, Shield Tech, Gust Shard Random Rewards: Lightning Shard/Panacea Ally: Xigbar ============================================================================= Upon entering the Colosseum, eliminate the Li'l Cannons. These do replace themselves, but, left alone, will very much irritate you. Now for the Morning Star. It is just spinning... and spinning... and... you get it. It is invincible during this time, and will deal a small amount of damage if you get hit. You can stop its spinning with several Blocks or one Aero. Once it stops, it repeatedly deals damage with jumps and shockwaves. I learned the hard way to not do aerial combos on this guy - you'll get very few in. If you do this, you'll win by the skin of your teeth and by several Limits. Best thing to do is to wait until it lands, do a quick combo, back off, rinse and repeat. Once you win, there is a Zip Slasher outside the Colosseum. It will drop an Elixir Recipe if defeated. RTC if yuo don't want to fight it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 149 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Score 100+ points in Mission #36 and talk to Xigbar for a Bronze. ============================================================================= Mission #42: Collect hearts (Halloween Town) Number of Chests: 3 Clear Rewards: LV Doubler (6-slot), Gust Shard, Sliding Dash (1-slot) Random Rewards: Gust Shard/Potion Ally: None ============================================================================= This starts out as fairly simple. In the first two areas, you mainly fight Creepworms and Skater Bombs. The Creepworms have VERY little HP, and can be killed in one hit; however, they are fast, so use Fires if they constantly get away from you. The Skater Bombs are of the Ice element, and they're bombs. So use Fire! You do get it hard in the third area - FIVE Hover Ghosts, similar to those back in KH1. These seem to have a weakness to magic, so I recommend using Fire or Thunder. But there are these weird pumpkins on the field.... Hmmm.... Try to lure the Hover Ghosts near you and use Fire on one of those pumpkins. Most, if not all, of them will die. Or you could use magic. Your choice. To complete the optional objective, defeat all of the Heartless. Some are hidden in the most hidden nooks and crannies, so search everywhere! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 150 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Equip the LV Doubler you earned last mission, as well as the Sliding Dash (if you bothered to complete the whole mission). Also equip some Fire spells. ============================================================================= Mission #43: Eliminate the Dark Follower (Beast's Castle) Number of Chests: 4 Clear Rewards: Fira, Lightning Shard (x2) Random Rewards: Elixir Recipe/Gear Component A/Bronze/Hi-Potion/Potion/Ether Ally: Xaldin ============================================================================= Okay, head right into the Entrance Hall's upper level. You have to head into the Ballroom, which is where you'll find a Gigas Shadow, a MUCH larger Shadow. Defeat him, but he isn't your target... Head into the West Wing. There, you'll find a different-looking Darkside appearing. This is your target - the Dark Follower. Like the Darkside, it is weak in the head. Whenever possible, attack it physically. At all other times, dodge attacks while locked-on to the head and spitting Fire. Beware of the white orbs - Block them for quite a bit of damage. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 151 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you've collected 130 or more chests, talk to Axel for a Shield Tech. Be sure to equip a lot of Fire spells! ============================================================================= Mission #44: Collect Organization emblems & Defeat the Avalanche (Twil. Town) Number of Chests: 2 Clear Rewards: High Jump (1-slot), Fira Recipe, Sight Unit Random Rewards: Fire Recipe/Moonstone/Hi-Potion/Potion/Hi-Ether/Ether/Panacea Ally: Xion ============================================================================= Time for your first - and only - double mission! In this, your goal is to find Organization emblems and then fight an Avalanche. To fully finish, get all of the emblems (below) with the rings intact. Emblems: - Station Plaza: Northeast corner - Station Plaza: Northwest corner - Underground Passage: East passage - Underground Passage: Doorway between the two rooms - Underground Passage: South room, high in the air (jump from the doorway and use Air Slide) - Underground Passage: Southwest corner - Underground Passage: East passage - Tunnel: Northwest corner - Tunnel: Southwest corner of the room - Tunnel: South end of the passage Next up, exit the Underground Passage from the northwest onto the Side Street. Go towards the Sandlot for your boss. The Avalanche, as you may expect, is weak against Fire spells. This is true. And like the Darkside/Dark Follower, it is best to hit the head. However, to hit it without any magic is near-impossible. So, hit the tail with physical attacks and the head with Fire spells. It has the basic moveset of the Tailbunker (except there are ice beams rather than fireballs), so remember that if you have trouble. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Days 152-156 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bonuses: (1) Talk to Xaldin for a Combo Tech, (2) On Day 153 to Day 156, get 50 points in Mission #37 and then talk to Luxord for Mission #49. ============================================================================= Mission #45: Collect hearts (Halloween Town) Number of Chests: 4 Clear Rewards: Thunder Recipe, Gust Shard, Gear Component A Random Rewards: Gust Shard/Potion Ally: None ============================================================================= Once you enter the Town Square, you'll realize something's up. What is it? The Heartless are hiding in various places! You have to go to some areas and investigate near them, which will reveal the Heartless. Those areas are: - Halloween Town Entrance: Light post on the north side of the road - Town Square: Behind the well on the east side - Town Square: Guillotine on the northeast part of the inner circle - Town Square: Light post on the south side of the inner circle - Graveyard: Zero's doghouse - Graveyard: Gargoyle statue in the northeast corner - Graveyard: Northwest corner Finishing off the Heartless from these areas should complete the main objective. The optional requires you to investigate the two balloons in the Graveyard. Three Hover Ghosts will appear, but the pumpkin bombs should finish them off. There are also two balloons in the Town Square and one near the town entrance. Investigating all of these balloons should finish the mission. Full completion of this mission will reward you with a Frost Gem later in the game. Also, the Phantom Gear chest near the entrance is a fairly good idea. It has better stats than the Chrono Gear+ you've been using, but it has a slower combo. I'll let you make the choice. ============================================================================= Mission #46: Collect hearts (Olympus Colosseum) Number of Chests: 3 Clear Rewards: Elixir Recipe, Hi-Potion, Thunder Random Rewards: Lightning Shard/Panacea Ally: Demyx ============================================================================= Okay, equip a few Fire spells beforehand, as well as the Chrono Gear (or something with a fast combo). Outside the Colosseum, you begin by fighting two Ice Cannons and two Jumbo Cannons. Use the Fires against the Ice Cannons, and do something against the Jumbo Cannons. (This is actually the only place you'll even need magic in this mission, so unload your whole supply.) Killing these Heartless isn't needed, but it fills you Mission Gauge partially, and you cannot do this later. Head into the Colosseum. Phil will give you another of those training games like last time, but this one is against Loudmouths on uneven ground. Like last time, try aiming the barrels toward the Loudmouths for a one-hit kill. Try to get 150+ points, as that will give you a Freezing Crystal later in the game. ============================================================================= Mission #47: Collect hearts (Wonderland) Number of Chests: 3 Clear Rewards: Blizzara, Gust Gem, Lightning Shard Random Rewards: Iron/Ether Ally: None ============================================================================= Equip some magic, as the enemies are fairly weak against all magic. After seeing the white rabbit, head along the path into the Bizarre Room. Take and drink from one of the bottles on the table to get smaller. Okay, all over the room are groups of Heartless. The three you must defeat are located on the southwest and central tabletops and on the stove top. After that, a chair near the clock will appear to start shaking. Physically attack it and you'll reveal a Lurk Lizard. They are just upgraded Veil Lizards, so you should have no problem. Once you're done, drink from one of the bottles on the table to get larger and RTC. ============================================================================= Mission #48: Eliminate the Solid Armor (Agrabah) Number of Chests: 8 Clear Rewards: Rune Tech, Blizzard Recipe, Lightning Shard Random Rewards: Blizzard Recipe/Hi-Potion/Potion Ally: Xaldin ============================================================================= Bring some magic from both the Fire and Blizzard sets. This is simple to get to. From the gate, head to the hole in the wall and go into the Cave of Wonders. The Solid Armor will come down. Try to lure him AWAY from the fallen walls while battling the Large Armors. Remember, their weakness is Fire. Anyways, after luring the Solid Armor away from the fallen walls (if you could), use any Blizzard spell on him and he'll fall down. Use this to your advantage and simultaneously cast Blizzard spells on him and physically attack him and rinse and repeat. ============================================================================= Mission #49: Collect hearts (Beast's Castle) Number of Chests: 8 Clear Rewards: Cure, Bronze, Gear Component A Random Rewards: Elixir Recipe/Gear Component A/Bronze/Hi-Potion/Potion/Ether Ally: Xigbar ============================================================================= Bring some Fires beforehand, and maybe some Blizzards. For once, I have no need to give you a strategy. This mission has easy-to-find Heartless. However, try to freeze the Bully/Snapper Dogs and use Fire on the Snowy Crystals. Anyways, if you feel you're missing some check out the center of the Courtyard, the Bridge, the Secret Passage, and the upper level of the Entrance Hall. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 171 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you got 130+ points in Mission #39, talk to Xigbar for a Blaing Gem. ============================================================================= Mission #50: Vanquish the Infernal Engine (Beast's Castle) Number of Chests: 4 Clear Rewards: Cura, Rune Tech+, Bronze Random Rewards: Elixir Recipe/Gear Component A/Bronze/Hi-Potion/Potion/Ether Ally: None ============================================================================= The target is on the Bridge. Head there now. The Infernal Engine mainly moves forward, but won't squash you into the wall. Hitting it moves it backwards. Sometimes, it'll launch cannon balls from its "mouth." Block them to try to hit (and maybe kill) an archer. If all of them die, you have a chance to really hurt the Infernal Engine. They'll later be summoned back, though. During that time, though, it may back up a bit and spit out a box. This box has some Soldiers in it. They aren't too strong, but can get irritating if left alone. After killing them all, replacements are sent out. After a while, the archers will be replaced. Other times, it will use a different attack rather than the cannon balls: bowling balls. You can also Block these, but be careful of being knocked into another ball. Occasionally, it will attack with a hammer. The best way to avoid this is to get out of the way of it. It has to miss you about 5 ~ 10 times before it retreats. The main goal of this battle is to push it backwards by hitting it. By hitting it back far enough, a battering ram will come out of its "mouth." Quickly attack it, as it will cause more damage than usual. However, by the third or fourth combo, go off to the side, out of the way of the battering ram. This will let you avoid major damage and instead recieve minor/no damage. Keep doing this and avoiding the other attacks to eventually win. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 172 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now you've been promoted to Agent. Go to the shop to get: - Magic LV3. Link any spells on this with Magic LV2. - Limit Boost - Auto-Life and Dodge Roll LV+ - Slot Releaser - More magic, if wanted - More items, if low If you fully completed Mission #45, talk to Demys for a Frost Gem. ============================================================================= Mission #51: Eliminate the Pink Concertos (Wonderland) Number of Chests: 8 Clear Rewards: Dodge Roll (3-slot), Gear Component A, Bronze Random Rewards: Aero Recipe/Cure Recipe/Cura Recipe/Elixir Recipe/Shining Gem/ Dark Ingot/Hi-Potion Ally: Luxord ============================================================================= For this, head into the Lotus Forest. Investigate the flowers to reveal your targets. They, like the other spellcaster enemies, are rather weak against magic. Just don't attack while that dark purple cloud is around them or you'll be blinded. Take note of the fact that most aboveground exits in the forest take you back to the Bizarre Room. Only one doesn't, but you'll need Glide to get to it. The final Pink Concerto is in that cage in the Queen's Castle area. Hit the covered cage to knock it down. Once it's all the way on the ground, the fifth Pink Concerto will appear. Fight it like the last four, then RTC. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Days 173-176 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bonuses: (1) Talk to Axel after equipping a weapon with three linked panels for Mission #54. (2) Synth up a Chrono Gear+ then talk to Luxord for a Shining Gem. ============================================================================= Mission #52: Collect hearts (Halloween Town) Number of Chests: 8 Clear Rewards: Fire, Blazing Gem, Fira Random Rewards: Blizzara Recipe/Thunder Recipe/Gust Shard/Frost Gem/ Blazing Gem/Gust Gem/Ether Ally: Xigbar ============================================================================= Like before, the Heartless are hiding. You need Zero's help, but he's over on Moonlight Hill. Head to the Graveyard. There are four unlit lanterns. Knock a pumpkin towards each one of them. Once the pumpkin blows up, the lantern will be lit. Do the same thing in the Boneyard. At Moonlight Hill, you'll be confronted by Lock, Shock, and Barrel. They aren't too hard; just don't let one be KO'ed for too long or they'll be revived. As in Mission #45, feed Zero a bone then follow him and investigate the area he's circling. Defeat the Heartless and feed him another bone, etc. etc. To finish the optional objective, investigate the balloons in these areas: - Halloween Town Entrance: Near the start - Graveyard: North end - Moonlight Hill: Northeast corner - Moonlight Hill: Southeast corner - Moonlight Hill: West side in the air (jump from on top of the hill and search while in the air) That completes the mission, but investigate these balloons, too, to get a Dark Ingot later in-game: - Town Square: West side - Town Square: Northeast corner - Graveyard: South end Whew! RTC now. ============================================================================= Mission #53: Eliminate the Wavecrest (Never Land) Number of Chests: 0 Clear Rewards: Luck Tech, Cura Recipe, Bronze, Glide (3-slot) Random Rewards: Elixir Recipe/Combo Tech/Potion Ally: None ============================================================================= Bring some kind of Thunder spells. Simply put, most of the beginning are cutscenes. After a couple, defeat some Heartless, then Tinker Bell will teach you how to fly. In Never Land only, use Y to ascend and B to descend. Head to the rock cliff east of the main island. Investigate the hole there. A Wavecrest will pop out. It is basically a water-element Tailbunker that only flies. That means you have less of an opening for physical attacks. You should use those Thunder spells you brought. Otherwise, just another Tailbunker. ============================================================================= Mission #54: Eliminate the Dual Blade (Halloween Town) Number of Chests: 2 Clear Rewards: Frost Gem, Gust Shard (x2) Random Rewards: Blizzara Recipe/Thunder Recipe/Gust Shard/Frost Gem/ Blazing Gem/Gust Gem/Ether Ally: None ============================================================================= Bring some Fires and Thunders beforehand. Head to the Town Square. Your target (a larger, weaker (HP-wise) Zip Slasher) and some Skater Bombs appear. It is easy to kill these with Fire spells and they do give a fair sum of hearts. Focus on the other enemy. Constantly attack it until it blocks an attack, at which point you should use Block, too. Regardless of what attack he does, it will hurt in one way or another if not Blocked. What you want is him to charge up a shot (even if he didn't block) and then you'll Block. He'll fall to the ground stunned. Use a lot of Thunder or Fire spells on him at the point for major damage. RTC when done. ============================================================================= Mission #55: Collect Organization emblems (Wonderland) Number of Chests: 5 Clear Rewards: Shining Gem, Dark Ingot, Gear Component B Random Rewards: Aero Recipe/Cure Recipe/Cura Recipe/Elixir Recipe/Shining Gem/ Dark Ingot/Hi-Potion Ally: Luxord ============================================================================= Equip Glide beforehand if you wish to fully complete this mission. Again, I'll just list the emblem locations so you don't miss any. Get all of them with the green ring intact for full completion. - Bizarre Room: Northeast stove top - Bizarre Room: Southeast corner high in the air (Glide from emblem above one) - Bizarre Room: Southwest tabletop - Bizarre Room: Northwest corner - Hedge Maze Entrance: Southeast corner - Hedge Maze Entrance: North exit - Queen's Castle: North hedge top - Queen's Castle: South hedge top - Queen's Castle: Between the west ends of the hedges, high in the air - Queen's Castle: Queen's throne - Lotus Forest: Southeast corner, just behind the rock - Lotus Forest: East side, just northwest of the rock (jump from the rock) - Lotus Forest: North alcove, on a mushroom - Lotus Forest: Center, along the main path but high in the air - Lotus Forest: West exit near the ground - Lotus Forest: Lotus above the west exit to the north - Lotus Forest: Northwest corner tree top - Lotus Forest: High in the air on the west side (Glide from the one above) - Lotus Forest: Southwest corner lotus tops - Lotus Forest: Southwest corner lotus tops - Lotus Forest: Northeast corner lotus tops - Lotus Forest: Northeast corner lotus tops - Tea Party Garden: South side - Tea Party Garden: Tabletop - Tea Party Garden: North side RTC when done. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 193 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Talk to Xaldin after synthing a Perfect Block panel to get a Range Tech. Bring several Fire and Blizzard spells and equip Glide if you haven't already. ============================================================================= Mission #56: Eliminate the Heat Saber and the Destroyer (Twilight Town) Number of Chests: 4 Clear Rewards: Thundara, LV Doubler (6-slot), Blizzara Random Rewards: Elixir Recipe/Bronze/Moonstone/Hi-Potion/Potion Allies: Axel & Xion ============================================================================= This is the first - and only - three-man mission in this game. Okay, so head down to the Sandlot to meet your first target: the Heat Saber. Fight him like you would a Dual Blade or Zip Slasher, but when he falls down stunned, use Blizzard spells. Also, he absorbs damage from Fire-based attacks, so watch it. Next, head up to Station Plaza. Xion will collapse and Axel will leae with her, leaving you with the Destroyer and some Minute Bombs. The Destroyer is just a larger, stronger Guardian. Take care of the Minute Bombs with Fire (or just ignore them) and start flaming the Destroyer with any leftover magic, then go for the physical attacks. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Days 194-197 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bonuses: (1) Talk to Xion for a Bronze. (2) Talk to Xigbar, then kill 30 enemies with a Limit Break. Then talk to him again for Mission #59. (You can just skip this and do the Holo-Mission later; this is fairly time-consuming.) Also equip the LV Doubler you got earlier. ============================================================================= Mission #57: Eliminate the Commanders (Wonderland) Number of Chests: 7 Clear Rewards: Blizzara, Gear Component B, Dark Ingot Random Rewards: Aero Recipe/Cure Recipe/Cura Recipe/Elixir Recipe/Shining Gem/ Dark Ingot/Hi-Potion Ally: Luxord ============================================================================= Go to the Queen's Castle for a cutscene. View it, then back to the hedge maze entrances. Take the unguarded entrance and head through it. Like in those Beast's Castle missions, stay out of the red areas (the card soldiers' vision). Otherwise, you'll be taken back to either where you started the area or where the last Commander was defeated. The path is fairly straightforward. Defeat the Commanders as you go; don't worry, a barrier pops up, preventing you from worrying over the card soldiers, too. Once the third final Commander is defeated, go to the northwest corner of the maze. Luxord will summon a dark corridor so you can RTC. ============================================================================= Mission #58: Eliminate the Artful Flyers (Never Land) Number of Chests: 0 Clear Rewards: Cure, Cura Recipe, Dark Ingot Random Rewards: Elixir Recipe/Combo Tech/Potion Ally: Axel ============================================================================= You may want to equip some Thunder spells because there are quite a few annoying water-elemental Heartless. Again, some cutscenes, blah blah blah. Once you regain control, investigate the holes on the southern end of the central island, the western island, and the southeastern island. There is one Artful Flyer in each of these holes; defeat them to fill your mission gauge. Use the same strategy fighting them as you would when fighting a Air Battler or Aerial Master. ============================================================================= Mission #59: Collect Shining Shards (Twilight Town) Number of Chests: 3 Clear Rewards: Lightning Gem, Moonstone, Power Tech Random Rewards: Elixir Recipe/Bronze/Moonstone/Hi-Potion/Potion Ally: None ============================================================================= In this unique mission, you must collect three Shining Shards minimum. They're all being held by Guardians. All of them are in Tram Common. Head there now. Upon entering the area, you'll immediately be attacked by a Tailbunker. Defeat him and find the Guardians: - Northwest stairs - North alcove - West central building top - South alcove You only need to collect three; collect a fourth to finish the mission. ============================================================================= Mission #60: Eliminate the Avalanche (Never Land) Number of Chests: 2 Clear Rewards: Range Tech, Combo Tech, Gust Shard Random Rewards: Elixir Recipe/Combo Tech/Potion Ally: None ============================================================================= Bring some Fire and Thunder spells beforehand. Man, I'm sick of these kinds of enemies. Well, defeat the nearby Turquoise Marches, as they're a huge nuisance. Afterwards, fight the Avalanche like you did the Wavecrest, except be sure to use Fire spells on it, rather than Thunder spells. Also try to aim for the head, as you did in Mission #44. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 224 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you investigated every single balloon in Mission #52, talk to Demyx for a Dark Ingot. ============================================================================= Mission #61: Vanquish the Guard Armor (Olympus Colosseum) Number of Chests: 3 Clear Rewards: Firaga, Cura Recipe, Gust Gem Random Rewards: Fira Recipe/Lightning Shard/Lightning Gem/Gear Component B/ Hi-Potion/Ether Ally: Demyx ============================================================================= Bring a lot of magic and restorative items to this mission; you'll be glad you did! Upon entering the world, you'll fight some Heartless. You've fought against these many times before, so you'll know what to do. After that, go to Phil to enter the tournament. It is divided into several rounds: O---------O | Round 1 | Enemies: Shadows (x3), Soldiers (x3) O---------O You should used to these by now! O---------O | Round 2 | Enemies: Lots of Hover Ghosts O---------O Lots of ghosts, and no pumpkins around! What's a Keyblade master to do? Use a lot of magic! Yes, that's right: if you want to live through this, it's best to use Fire/Thunder spells from a distance. I would say to use the barrels, but that gives the enemy time to home in on you, which is VERY dangerous in this fight. Do it at your own risk. O---------O | Round 3 | Enemies: Striped Aria (x3), Ice Cannon (x1) O---------O Against the Striped Arias, it's best to use magic (save a few Fires, though!). After they're dead, use Fire on the Ice Cannon. Just look out for the target under your feet at all times! O---------O | Round 4 | Enemies: Yellow Opera (x4), Tailbunker (x1) O---------O It's best to take out the Yellow Operas first (and quickly), as they'll become quite a nuisance if left unfinished. Afterwards, finish the Tailbunker like you would any other Tailbunker. O-------------O | Final Round | Enemies: Xigbar (x1) O-------------O Don't worry, just get him down to around his second HP bar and it'll end. O--------------------O | Not-even-a-Round 6 | Enemies: Guard Armor O--------------------O If you played KH1, you'll remember this guy. He goes through several phases as you battle: Phase #1) He walks around, causing shockwaves while slinging his hands around. It's best to leave him alone during this time. Phase #2) He jumps in the air, landing at/near the center of the arena. This makes a huge shockwave and simultaneously causes his head to fall off. Wail on it during this time, as this is where you'll hope to do the most damage. Phase #3) The head is grabbed and put back on his body. The torso and head become invincible and the hands and legs separate from the body. You can damage the hands and legs, now. Note that they, too, can attack you, sometimes lethally, and the set of hands/feet share an HP bar. After Phase #3, the pattern repeats. If only one hand/foot was killed before it's over, the Guard Armor will generate a new hand/foot and the HP will be divided between the two. After all of the hands/feet are killed... Phase #4) With just the head and torso left, the Guard Armor only has one attack left: spinning. It doesn't do a lot of damage, but is very irritating. You can Block it. While he isn't doing this, he is a sitting duck. Attack as much as you can during this time to kill him. Mission complete. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Days 225-227 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Again, you've been promoted, this time to Expert. Get ready to get more stuff: - A new Keyblade, preferably the Rage Gear+ (with Ability & Sight Units!) - Quadcast - Rainforce Ring - Glide LV+ - Magic LV3 - Slot Releaser - Level Up - Limit Boost (if you don't have it) - More magic and items, if needed Be sure to rearrange your panels and be sure to equip the Final Limit and Limit Boost panels! Bonuses: (1) Get at least one Challenge Sigil in Mission #58, then talk to Axel for Mission #63. (2) Get all of the chests in Mission #51, then talk to Demyx for Mission #64. ============================================================================= Mission #62: Eliminate the Carrier Ghost (Halloween Town) Number of Chests: 8 Clear Rewards: Combo Tech+, Shield Tech+, Diamond Random Rewards: Blizzara Recipe/Thunder Recipe/Blazing Gem/Gust Gem/ Shining Crystal/Shield Tech+/Silver Ally: None ============================================================================= Bring some Blizzards before starting this mission. Head to the first Boneyard (Town Square -> Graveyard -> Boneyard 1). This is actually the hardest part of the mission - a ton of Hover Ghosts! It goes without saying to use the icy pumpkins. However, if you get hit by the explosion, you may get frozen and get struck many times by the Heartless. Unfortunately, they all can't be killed. The rest should be killed with magic or Limits. Try to stay away from them a fair distance, or you can take a lot of damage in a short amount of time. At Moonlight Hill, light the four lanterns (be it with Fire or pumpkins) to be able to get to Boneyard 2. There is where the Carrier Ghost lies. If you'd paid attention, you'd be able to use the Carrier Ghost's weakness: ice. Even so, that may not be enough to kill it. If so, just fight it like you would a stronger Hover Ghost: with magic from a distance (or physical attacks, if none remains), or with Limits. This is a good time to demonstrate a Final Limit, too. Once you are ready to RTC, head to the dark corridor. However, you're attacked by a Tentaclaw (something you'll REALLY hate later). It is weak, so you'll have no problem. Also, for a future reward, investigate the following areas: - Town Square: Lamp post on the northern wall - Town Square: Giant pumpkin on the southwestern wall - Moonlight Hill: The highest point on the hill - Moonlight Hill: The gravestone in the northeastern corner ============================================================================= Mission #63: Destroy the shadow globs (Wonderland) Number of Chests: 7 Clear Rewards: Diamond, Moonstone, Rune Tech+ Random Rewards: Aero Recipe/Cure Recipe/Cura Recipe/Gust Crystal/Shining Gem/ Diamond/Premium Orb Ally: Xion ============================================================================= Yawn... Here's a list of the globs. Kill 20 to complete the mission, all 25 to fully complete it. - Rabbit Hole: Southwestern wall - Rabbit Hole: Northern wall - Rabbit Hole: Tunnel floor - Rabbit Hole: Western wall - Bizarre Room: Northern part of the floor - Bizarre Room: In the fireplace - Bizarre Room: On the stove - Bizarre Room: Southeastern corner - Bizarre Room: Chair (southwest corner) - Bizarre Room: Northwestern corner - Hedge Maze Entrance: Northern exit - Queen's Castle: Northeastern corner (above the hedge) - Queen's Castle: On the ceiling - Queen's Castle: Southern exit - Queen's Castle: Southwestern wall - Queen's Castle: Northern wall - Lotus Forest: Behind the boulder - Lotus Forest: Northern alcove - Lotus Forest: Lotus top above the northern alcove - Lotus Forest: Lotus top on the south side of the central tree - Lotus Forest: Near the western exit on the ceiling (climb on the mushrooms to reach it) - Tea Party Garden: Southeastern hedge top (take the high exit in the southeast corner of the Lotus Forest) - Tea Party Garden: Western wall - Tea Party Garden: Southwestern corner - Tea Party Garden: Eastern wall Also, beware: There is a Lurk Lizard in the Tea Party Garden. If you do not wish to fight it, collect 20 of the 21 Shadow Globs NOT in the Tea Party Garden and RTC. ============================================================================= Mission #64: Eliminate the Emerald Serenade (Never Land) Number of Chests: 2 Clear Rewards: Megalixir Recipe, Combo Tech++, Silver Random Rewards: Aeroga Recipe/Gear Component C/Hi-Potion/Ether/Elixir Ally: Axel ============================================================================= Bring some Fires/Blizzards beforehand. During this mission, your target is weaving a figure-eight around the main island. Your goal - kill it. This can be particularly hard because it gets faster as it loses HP. So, rather than getting physical, use those Fires and Blizzards. Since the target will always go through the same path every time, you should pick a specific spot to wait for it; I typically wait under the bridge-like thing. As it comes near you, hit it with a Fire spell or two, then wait for it to come back again. After you run out of Fires, use Blizzards, and so on. Heal your magic when needed. However, try to lock on when using the magic; if you run out of spells AND Ethers/Elixirs, you'll have to use physical attacks, which is very tough to do. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 255 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ============================================================================= Mission #65: Eliminate the Neoshadow (Wonderland) Number of Chests: 8 Clear Rewards: LV Tripler (4-slot), Gear Component B, Rune Tech+ Random Rewards: Aero Recipe/Cure Recipe/Cura Recipe/Gust Crystal/Shining Gem/ Diamond/Premium Orb Ally: Luxord ============================================================================= As with most of these missions, lots of spellcasters will be around. Bring some magic to kill them with. Head to the Queen's Castle. View the cutscene and go to the previous area and into the Red Hedge Maze. Once inside, you'll have to avoid being seen by the Card Soldiers (like back in Mission #57). The path is fairly straightforward until the third lamp is activated. After that, the Card Soldiers will all leave you and the Heartless. The fourth lamp is north of the original entrance into the first half of the Hedge Maze. After activating all four lamps, head back to the Bizarre Room. In there is the Novashadow, a larger and more powerful Neoshadow. No worries: all that is different is size, total HP, and the damage he deals. Fight him like a normal Neoshadow. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Days 256-258 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Talk to Luxord for a Combo Tech++ for free, and synth an Auto-Dodge and talk to him again for a Silver. ============================================================================= Mission #66: Restore the town's Heartless (Halloween Town) Number of Chests: 8 Clear Rewards: Curaga, Power Tech+, Silver Random Rewards: Blizzara Recipe/Thunder Recipe/Blazing Gem/Gust Gem/ Shining Crystal/Shield Tech+/Silver Ally: None ============================================================================= Bring a lot of Fires and Thunders, as well as some Ethers/Elixirs and a weapon with a great Magic stat and an okay Strength stat. Okay, your target is in the Manor Ruins. To get there, go west of Moonlight Hill. Along the way are groups of Tentaclaws. Kill them with physical attacks; save the magic for the boss. At the Manor Ruins is a huge plant-like thing and four Tentaclaws. Saying just that leaves two strategies: kill all four Tentaclaws to stun the Leechgrave (the huge plant-like thing) for a while and get some combos in before all four Tentaclaws regenerate, or kill three and avoid some damage for the whole battle. The Tentaclaws still, like in Mission #62, have that ground-pound-ish attack. However, it is MUCH less predictable. You can Block it to stun the Tentaclaw and get some combos in. They'll also do an attack similar to this, but emit purple sparks shortly beforehand. It'll then swallow you and send you to the flower on the Leechgrave, damaging you. If you don't Glide away, you'll get damaged again. This attack can be Blocked, producing the same effect as before. Speaking of the flower, it also has one attack: purple mist. At various, unknown points in the battle, the flower emits a purple mist. This constantly damages you while in it. Quickly Glide away from it as soon as you see the mist and do NOT go near the Leechgrave until the mist has COMPLETELY dissappeared. And the Leechgrave, your target, is the weak point of the whole thing. Attacking and eventually killing this will end the battle. It has two attacks: an arm attack (when close, it will open up and swing its arms at you) and a thunderbolt attack (when far away, it'll release purple bolts that, unless Blocked, will damage and release the purple mist). Keep in mind that the Tentaclaws seem to have a weakness to Fire and Thunder. ============================================================================= Mission #67: Eliminate the Emerald Serenade (Wonderland) Number of Chests: 7 Clear Rewards: Rune Tech+, Lightning Gem, Silver Random Rewards: Aero Recipe/Cure Recipe/Cura Recipe/Gust Crystal/Shining Gem/ Diamond/Premium Orb Ally: Xigbar ============================================================================= Like in most Wonderland missions, there are a lot of spellcasters and this is no exception. Bring a lot of magic. This one is in the Lotus Forest. In there are a lot of Blizzard Plants; use Fire on them. Next up, take care the spellcasters. Now for the Emerald Serenade: pick a spot, like in Mission #64 (I tend to be close to the entrance from Queen's Castle) and wait for the Emerald Serenade to come close and then unleash magic on it. Wait for it to come back and use more magic, etc. etc. ============================================================================= Mission #68: Collect hearts (Agrabah) Number of Chests: 8 Clear Rewards: Fire Recipe, Blizzard Recipe, Curaga Recipe Random Rewards: Blizzard Recipe/Elixir Recipe/Hi-Potion Ally: None ============================================================================= Bring some Fire and Blizzard spells. In the Entrance Hall are some Fire Plants and an Aerial Master. Nothing too tough. On both Agrabah Gate and Agrabah Street are a Solid Armor and quite a few Loudmouths. In both areas, go all around and kill off the Loudmouths with Fire spells or physical attacks, and then attack the Solid Armor with Blizzard. Next, attack it with Fire/Blizzard/attacks for extra damage. (You only must kill one, as the optional objective isn't possible yet.) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Days 277-280 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have found all of the hidden Heartless in Mission #62, talk to Demyx for Mission #71. ============================================================================= Mission #69: Vanquish the Crimson Prankster (Wonderland) Number of Chests: 3 Clear Rewards: Thundaga, Thundara Recipe, Silver Random Rewards: Aero Recipe/Cure Recipe/Cura Recipe/Gust Crystal/Shining Gem/ Diamond/Premium Orb Ally: None ============================================================================= The path to the Crimson Prankster is very straightforward - just walk into the Bizarre Room! Immediately, the Crimson Prankster will split itself. This is in all ways bad. They both have the same attacks, too. Their first is a lot of torch-slamming into the ground which is un-Blockable and creates shockwaves. The flamethrower is also un-Blockable, but is short-range, and it may move a little back and forth. They may ignite themselves and move toward you. They also may shoot a fireball that will ignite the floor wherever it hits. That's it for attacks. As you know, there are two Crimson Pranksters. What you may not know is that they BOTH must be killed within about five seconds of each other. Otherwise, the one that is still alive will split its HP with the other. The main goal is to get one down to about 1/6 of an HP bar, then get the other the same way. Damage one to kill it and then quickly kill the other. Mission complete! ============================================================================= Mission #70: Eliminate the Deserters (Beast's Castle) Number of Chests: 1 Clear Rewards: Shining Crystal, Shining Gem, Blazing Gem Random Rewards: Elixir Recipe/Blazing Crystal/Frost Gem/Hi-Potion/Ether/ Panacea Ally: Axel ============================================================================= It may be best to bring some magic. Head outside of the Ballroom to be confronted by some Deserters and a Barrier Master. Knock the book out of the Barrier Master's hand and use magic on him. Next, get rid of the Deserters. No change from when you used to fight them. Take note of the Invisible in the Ballroom after you finish. He is worth fighting, but only for a challenge (or Gust Gem). If you don't want to fight him, go past him to the dark corridor. ============================================================================= Mission #71: Prove your endurance (The Castle That Never Was) Number of Chests: 0 Clear Rewards: Gear Component B, Aerora Recipe, Gust Gem Random Rewards: Thundara Recipe/Aerora Recipe/Elixir Recipe/Ether Ally: None ============================================================================= The same as Mission #10, but it's two minutes long, the enemies are stronger, and a Samurai joins halfway through. If you're having trouble, bring some Thundaras and healing spells/items. ============================================================================= Mission #72: Collect hearts (Halloween Town) Number of Chests: 1 Clear Rewards: Combo Tech+, Lightning Gem, Power Tech+ Random Rewards: Blizzara Recipe/Thunder Recipe/Blazing Gem/Gust Gem/ Shining Crystal/Shield Tech+/Silver Ally: None ============================================================================= Bring some Fires/Thunders. Head to the Town Square. In it are two Dual Blades and some Creepworms. To complete just the main objective, defeat all of either group. To fully win, beat all of them. The Creepworms are only hard in the fact that they're fast: they die in one hit and don't fight back! The Dual Blades: Block all of their attacks, attacking when possible. When you Block a charged attack and the enemy falls over, use the Thunder/Fire spell you have. Continue until dead. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 296 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yay, a promotion: to Master. Get some shopping in: - 4-slot Block - Auto-Life LV+ - Slot Releaser - Champion Gear+ (beware of the bad and slow combo style, though) - Items and magic The Champion Gear is for those who care only about stats. Bonus: If you've opened 240+ chests, talk to Xaldin for a Blazing Crystal. ============================================================================= Mission #73: Defeat heartless in the Games (Olympus Colosseum) Number of Chests: 2 Clear Rewards: Magic Unit, Combo Tech ++, Lightning Crystal Random Rewards: Blizzaga Recipe/Thundaga Recipe/Megalixir Recipe/Hi-Potion/ Hi-Ether/Elixir Ally: None ============================================================================= Bring some Aero spells and Fire spells. Enter the Colosseum and then the tournament. O---------O | Round 1 | Enemies: Sky Grappler (x1), Air Battler (x2) O---------O Simple. Use Fire, as they seem to be weak against it. O---------O | Round 2 | Enemies: Jumbo Cannon (x3), Li'l Cannon (x6) O---------O As you can see, the enemies are all on a ledge. You'll have to use the barrels to hit them. It is a one-hit kill, at least. Take care to notice the enemy attacks, though. O---------O | Round 3 | Enemies: Switch Launcher (x1), Snowy Crystal (x2) O---------O Luckily for you, all of the enemies are in a pit and cannot reach you. Lock-on to the Snowy Crystals first and use Fire, then get in there and physically attack the Switch Launcher. NOTE: If you get hit by the Switch Launcher, you will switch positions with it. O---------O | Round 4 | Enemies: Ice Cannon (x1), Watcher (x4) O---------O Simple enough. Use Fire on the Ice Cannon, and unload all of your spare Fires on the Watchers. O-------------O | Final Round | Enemies: Stalwart Blade (x1) O-------------O Fight it like you would a Dual Blade. However, when it's stunned, use Aero. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 297 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ============================================================================= Mission #74: Search for the imposter (Twilight Town) Number of Chests: 3 Clear Rewards: High Jump (3-slot), Lightning Gem, Adamantite Random Rewards: Aeroga Recipe/Gear Component D/Orichalcum/Hi-Potion/Hi-Ether/ Panacea Ally: Axel ============================================================================= This is WAY too easy to need a strategy. Just follow and attack the cloaked man until he disappears into a portal. The enemies, too, are weak and the man won't even attack! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 298 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ============================================================================= Mission #75: Eliminate the imposter (Twilight Town) Number of Chests: 3 Clear Rewards: Gear Component C (x2), Frost Crystal Random Rewards: Aeroga Recipe/Gear Component D/Orichalcum/Hi-Potion/Hi-Ether/ Panacea Ally: None ============================================================================= Pretty much the same as the previous mission, except the enemies are tougher. The main challenge is in the Sandlot, where you'll have to fight a lot of Mega-Shadows. Then head into Tram Common and defeat Heartless while chasing after the unknown person. The mission ends when you chase this unknwon person into the southern alcove. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 299 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Equip a weapon with four links on it and talk to Xigbar for a Gold. ============================================================================= Mission #76: Eliminate the Shadow Globs (Never Land) Number of Chests: 2 Clear Rewards: Rune Tech+, Power Tech+, Glide LV+ Random Rewards: Curaga Recipe/Megalixir Recipe/Frost Crystal/Mithril/ Hi-Potion Ally: None ============================================================================= If you feel like fighting Wavecrests/Turquoise Marches, bring some Thunders. Another easy mission that you get rid of the Shadow Globs. Find 5 to complete the main objective, all seven to fully complete the mission. The list: - The Night Sea: Island just south of the center (south side) - The Night Sea: Northeast island (northeast side) - The Night Sea: Jagged island on the west side (west side) - Pirate Ship Deck: Central mast high in the air - Pirate Ship Deck: Bow (front of the boat) - Captain's Cabin: Southeastern corner - Captain's Cabin: Northeastern corner ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 300 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bring some Fire/Thundaga spells beforehand. ============================================================================= Mission #77: Eliminate the Phantomtail (Never Land) Number of Chests: 0 Clear Rewards: LV Tripler (4-slot), Thundaga Recipe, Gold Random Rewards: Curaga Recipe/Megalixir Recipe/Frost Crystal/Mithril/ Hi-Potion Ally: None ============================================================================= Since you're unable to fly, head to the Pirate Ship. Go into the Captain's Cabin and rescue Tinker Bell and recieve the NW Map Fragment. Now, if you just want to get this over with, leave; however, you're missing some nice stuff if you do. If you want it, investigate the north- and southwest corners of the cabin and steering wheel and crow's nest on the deck. Once back at the Night Sea, investigate the northwestern X on the map. After digging here, Smee and Hook will appear on the starting island. Approach them to make the Phantomtail appear. It is similar to Tailbunkers/Avalanches, even in attacks. However, there is one problem: it teleports if hit in the head! Therefore, lock-on to the wings or tail and cast Fire/Thundaga on it. Try to stay back from it while doing this, though! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Days 301-304 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Talk to Xion for a Shining Crystal, and, if you've beat Mission #66-#68, talk to Xaldin for Mission #80. ============================================================================= Mission #78: Vanquish the Ruler of the Sky (Never Land) Number of Chests: 0 Clear Rewards: Blizzaga, Power Tech+, Silver Random Rewards: Curaga Recipe/Megalixir Recipe/Frost Crystal/Mithril/ Hi-Potion Ally: None ============================================================================= My least favorite mission in terms of difficulty and time (but fun). Bring plenty of items and a very strong Keyblade. First off, the Ruler of the Sky will be just flying around, doing virtually nothing except ignoring you. However, it is making ice spikes and homing water balls, so watch out. The main target for now is the tail. Attack it until a part of it falls off. At this point, RUN AWAY AND STOP ATTACKING!!! If you touch him, you'll get damaged. It is also going to try to charge you and (if you're close to the water) shoot more of those water balls. After this, it'll dive underwater and emerge somewhere else and start shooting coins at you. Either try to dodge them or get behind it and attack it. After a few volleys, it'll go back to flying as it was at the start. It'll continue this pattern until the third part of its tail falls off... ... at which point it'll circle around you, summoning more ice spikes and water balls. The only movement you want to do is moving up and down. Eventually, it'll give up on this and shoot more coins. Like before, get away from this and try to hit it from underneath. After a bit, it'll rest, revealing a weak spot on its chest. Hit it now! If you don't kill it, you'll have to go through this whole pattern all over again. Upon killing it, mission complete. ============================================================================= Mission #79: Eliminate the Chill Ripper (Halloween Town) Number of Chests: 4 Clear Rewards: Frost Crystal, Mithril, Adamantite Random Rewards: Firaga Recipe/Megalixir Recipe/Lightning Crystal/ Shining Crystal/Hi-Ether Ally: Xigbar ============================================================================= Bring some Fires beforehand! Okay, in the Halloween Town Square are some Hover Ghosts and Icy Cubes. For this battle, it isn't too hard. If you brought some Thundaras, this is a good place to use them. Try aerial combos at all times on the Hover Ghosts, which will keep you safe from the Icy Cubes below. Use Fires on the Icy Cubes only if you brought a lot (15+). Otherwise, stick with those aerial combos. In the Graveyard, it is practically the same, except some Carrier Ghosts. It is best to skip them, unless you want EXP. and Aerial Tech++'s now. At Moonlight Hill, it is almost the same as in the Town Square. However, it is better to deal with the Icy Cubes first, as they can go almost anywhere in this area. Once you head to the Suspension Bridge, you'll fight a Snowy Crystal and some Icy Cubes. Roxas'll mistake this for the target; regardless, you'd have to fight it anyways. The main attack for this is Fire. After that is the Chill Ripper. Fight it like a normal Dual/Stalwart Blade, but use Fire rather than Thunder/Aero. Once done, mission complete! ============================================================================= Mission #80: Break the jars (Beast's Castle) Number of Chests: 0 Clear Rewards: Shining Crystal, Shining Gem, Luck Tech Random Rewards: Curaga Recipe/Blazing Crystal/Hi-Potion/Hi-Ether/Elixir Ally: None ============================================================================= Bring some Curas/Curagas at a high-level and a Keyblade with good, short aerial combos. This is similar to Mission #33, except Living Pods, VERY HIGH leveled Hover Ghosts, not Samurai, may come out of jars. Head to the West Hall. In it, you'll see some jars. Like Mission #33, use an aerial combo to easily and quickly break them. If you see a weird-looking Hover Ghost, go away! It, even at the highest of levels, can easily KO you! The goal is to break just fifteen jars. However breaking all of them will award you with a Luck Tech. There are two jars to watch for: 1) Above the door to the Secret Passage. Glide/Air Slide (high level) will be needed. 2) North side, beside the stairs in a little nook. RTC when finished, unless you want some EXP. from the Living Pods (that is ALL you'll get). ============================================================================= Mission #81: Eliminate the Emerald Serenade (Wonderland) Number of Chests: 6 Clear Rewards: Power Tech++, Rune Tech++, Frost Crystal Random Rewards: Blizzaga Recipe/Gust Crystal/Diamond Ally: None ============================================================================= If you really want some Heart Points and Aerial Tech++'s, bring a LOT of Fire spells. This one takes place in the Red Hedge Maze, so head there. Okay, if you're going for the Heart Points & Aerial Tech++'s, go around now, fighting the Grey Caprices and other stuff. This easily will end you up with 10,000+ Hearts by the end of the mission due to the multiplier. As for the Emerald Serenade, I prefer heading the area marked by the X on this [crappy] map: | | |__ | | [let the Emerald Serenade come from here] |__| | | | X-------| | |------- [entrance somewhere this way] ...and then using Fire while facing the Emerald Serenade. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 321 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you've scored 150+ points in Mission #46, talk to Xigbar a Frost Crystal. ============================================================================= Mission #82: Eliminate the Spiked Crawler (Agrabah) Number of Chests: 8 Clear Rewards: Sliding Dash LV+, Lightning Gem, Lightning Shard Random Rewards: Firaga Recipe/Gold/Hi-Potion/Hi-Ether Ally: Xion ============================================================================= It is a VERY good idea to bring a strong weapon and plenty of Thundagas. Also, install ALL of your Level Up panels and link them to the LV Doubler/Tripler panels you have (you should've already done this!). Your goal is to defeat an enemy similar to the similar to the Morning Star from Mission #41. However, there is a wrinkle in your plan: Roxas isn't feeling good, resulting in a halved level! The target is in the last unexplored areas of the Cave of Wonders. Along the way, it is a fairly good idea to fight some Loudmouths for the Gear Component D's. There is also a Solid Armor in the Entrance Hall that will drop an Orichalcum (if you've played other KH games, you know how important and rare this item is) if defeated. This is a critical element in some quick-level up tricks due to the items it can help make. Be sure to try to get it! Take the east exit into the Secret Depths. Hit the gold statue to make some blocks fall. If you look on the right side of the entrance, away from the entrance, you'll see three squares. Knock a block onto each of these. Doing this will unlock a door. Go through it. KH1 players will remember this room. This is where Sora sealed the Agrabah Keyhole. *ahem* Anyways, open the chests in the room (Adamantite and Gold) and head to the keyhole-like thing on the north side. The Spiked Crawler will come down. No worries, though: eventually Xion will "accidentally" finish it off in one hit. (But to stop the spin, use Thunder spells). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Days 322-326 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back in Mission #82, you (should have!) picked up some Gear Component D's. These are key to making the best weapons. At this point, save them until you can synth something good (such as the Ultimate Gear+, which I use). Also, try to do Mission #84 next-to-last, and Mission #83 last. Bonuses: (1) Talk to Xion for an Elixir Recipe. (2) If you got every chest in Mission #82, talk to Luxord for Missions #84 and #87. ============================================================================= Mission #83: Search for Xaldin (Beast's Castle) Number of Chests: 8 Clear Rewards: Aeroga Recipe, Blazing Crystal, Orichalcum Random Rewards: Curaga Recipe/Blazing Crystal/Hi-Potion/Hi-Ether/Elixir Ally: None ============================================================================= Truly the easiest mission in this game - if you do it right. First go to these areas: - Go to the Ballroom - Go to The East Wing - Go to The West Wing and examine the north exit At this point, you can head back to the dark corridor. But.... ...there are some good things here. Four of eight of the chests contain Elixirs. And the Bad Dogs are the only enemies to give Power Tech++'s. ============================================================================= Mission #84: Eliminate the Scorching Sphere (Olympus Colosseum) Number of Chests: 1 Clear Rewards: Firaga Recipe, Mithril (x2) Random Rewards: Blizzaga Recipe/Thundaga Recipe/Megalixir Recipe/Hi-Potion/ Hi-Ether/Elixir Ally: None ============================================================================= Bring some Blizzards! Another (unusually) easy mission. Fight this like you would the Morning Star (Mission #41). To stop the spin, use the Blizzard spells. Also, when dodging jumps, stay farther away than normal. ============================================================================= Mission #85: Collect hearts (Wonderland) Number of Chests: 4 Clear Rewards: Blizzaga Recipe (x2), Combo Tech++ Random Rewards: Blizzaga Recipe/Gust Crystal/Diamond Ally: None ============================================================================= What is up with all of these easy missions!?! Anyways, it is best to bring a lot of magic, as usual. This mission is simple. There are just a few things to watch for: - There is a Novashadow in the Hedge Maze Entrance area. You can skip it, but it drops a Shield Tech++, being the only enemy to do so (except Invisibles). - There's a Lurk Lizard (with 2 Sapphire Elegies) in the Tea Party Garden. - There are also Heartless in the upper part of the Lotus Forest; check the northwest corner for an easy-to-miss Striped Aria. ============================================================================= Mission #86: Collect Organization emblems (Never Land) Number of Chests: 1 Clear Rewards: Curaga Recipe (x2), Ankharite Random Rewards: Curaga Recipe/Megalixir Recipe/Frost Crystal/Mithril/Hi-Potion Ally: None ============================================================================= This is likely the toughest emblem mission yet. In this, there are very few enemies, and those that are there are tough Phantomtails. Try collecting in one fell swoop, in this order: - (Start here) Just north of the start island, on the water. - Very slightly east of the start island, in the air (go southeast from #1). - (2) Directly east of the start island (go east from #2). - (3) Northeast corner of the map, in the air (go east from #4, then southeast). - Eastmost island on the north part of the map (go south from #7). - (4) North central area in an east-west line (go west from #8). - (5) In a vertical column southeast of a grey island that is directly south of the start island (go west from #12, then up/down). - Just east of the previous island, near the water (go north from #17). - Just southwest of the previous island, near the water (go southwest from #18). - Just northeast of the grey island two steps southwest from the start island, near the water (go northwest from #19). - (3) Scattered just south and west of the grey island directly southwest from the start island (go northeast from #20). - A little east of the previous island, in the air (go east from #23). - (3) South of the start island, two on the water and one in the air (go northeast from #24). - Southeast of the start island, in the air (go east from #27). ============================================================================= Mission #87: Eliminate the Windstorms (Halloween Town) Number of Chests: 5 Clear Rewards: Lightning Crystal, Mithril, Diamond Random Rewards: Firaga Recipe/Megalixir Recipe/Lightning Crystal/ Shining Crystal/Hi-Ether Ally: None ============================================================================= Bring lots of Thundaras/Thundagas and Elixirs. Enter the town square. *gulp* THREE at once?!? Oh crap.... Okay, run around, using any Fire spells you might have on the bombs, and then wait for a Windstorm to get on the ground. At this point, completely bombard it with Thundagas (or Thundaras if the others are nearby). Rinse and repeat, using Elixirs when needed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 352 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Talk to Xigbar. If you can kill 50 enemies with a Final Limit - starting.... NOW! - he'll give you a Freezing Crystal. (Might as well skip this...) ============================================================================= Mission #88: Eliminate the Orcus (Halloween Town) Number of Chests: 1 Clear Rewards: LV Quadrupler (3-slot), Blizzaga Recipe (x2) Random Rewards: Firaga Recipe/Megalixir Recipe/Lightning Crystal/ Shining Crystal/Hi-Ether Ally: None ============================================================================= If you want a quick finish, bring Firagas. Okay, head to the Graveyard. Here's an upgraded Invisible, the Orcus. Like the Invisible, it absorbs Thunder. However, it is not as you think... After about 2 ~ 3 bars of damage is dealt, Axel will interfere revealing Xion as the Orcus. HUH?!? It was an attempt to kill one of you! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 353 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bring TONS of Elixirs. Bring some Firagas and Aerogas and a very strong (physically and magically) Keyblade (Ultimate Gear+ or Omega Gear+). ============================================================================= Mission #89: Eliminate six giant Heartless (Twilight Town) Number of Chests: 8 Clear Rewards: Orichalcum, Diamond, Premium Orb Random Rewards: Aeroga Recipe/Gear Component D/Orichalcum/Hi-Potion/Hi-Ether Panacea Ally: None ============================================================================= They just keep getting harder! Okay, time for six (or seven...?) giant Heartless. (1) Poison Plant: Underground Passage. Easy: use Firagas. (2) Gigas Shadow: Tunnel. ... You're kidding, right? (3) Stalwart Blade: Station Plaza. Hmmm.... Like Dual Blade, but with Aeroga. (4) Powered Armor: Sandlot. A blue Guard Armor. Any questions? (5) Orcus: Tram Common. Like in Mission #88, use Firagas. Otherwise, another (tough) Invisible. (6) Veil Lizard: The Old Mansion. TOO easy! Fight it like you did in a very early mission. (7) Dustflier: Station Plaza (after beating the Stalwart Blade). Yes, to completely finish this mission, you must beat what is truly the toughest enemy in the whole game. High defense and power, making it very hard. In fact, someone send a strategy for this. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 354 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bonuses: (1) Talk to Xaldin for an Adamantite... (2) ...and after synthing a Dodge Combo for a Luck Tech. (3) Talk to Luxord for a Rune Tech++. Bring some Aero/Aerogas. ============================================================================= Mission #90: Place the device (Agrabah) Number of Chests: 5 Clear Rewards: Sight Unit, Power Tech++, Blazing Crystal Random Rewards: Firaga Recipe/Gold/Hi-Potion/Hi-Ether Ally: ============================================================================= Okay, here we go. Head to the Secret Depths. In there, kill everything that pops up, then go to the Lamp Chamber. In there, a Land Armor appears. This is relatively easy, considering the previous mission or two. Anyways, use Aero/Aeroga on it, and whack away. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 355 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Talk to Axel to start this mission. ============================================================================= Mission #91: Escape the castle (The Castle That Never Was) Number of Chests: 0 Clear Rewards: None Random Rewards: Thundara Recipe/Aerora Recipe/Megalixir Recipe/Hi-Potion/ Hi-Ether Ally: None ============================================================================= Okay, the path downward is straightforward. There will be plenty of Dusks and Samurais on the way, but they're plenty weaker than usual. At the bottom is Saix. Let's do this! At the start of the battle, Saix roars and enters berserk mode. This roar, if too close, will damage and silence you. In berserk mode, he has these moves: - Jump to the platform you passed on the way down and... 1. ...jump back and cause a shockwave 2. ...jump to south exit, then back to you and swing his claymore This usually occurs when too far away from him. - Run at you, swinging his claymore several times and ending with a spin attack. - Do a very long combo, including hitting with his claymore, causing shockwaves, and (if he doesn't go into the first/second attacks), throwing his claymore. After a while, his HP bar will drop enough to put him out of berserk mode, where he has these attacks: - Jump and go straight down. - Shoot a shockwave straight ahead. - Three-hit combo. - Blocking. As the fight continues, and as Saix takes damage, he'll enter and exit berserk mode. As this happens, he gets weaker. His berserk won't last as long, and he'll stay stunned longer afterwards. Good luck! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 357 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- At Station Plaza is the Moogle and the entrance to the final two missions. I recommend equipping the following: - Glide, with a lot of LV+'s and anything else seemingly needed. - High Jump, with LV+'s and/or Float - Dodge Roll, with all LV+'s - Air Slide at the max LV. - Sliding Dash isn't too bad. - Block, with Round Block, Aero and Thunder Block. - Ultimate Gear+/Omega Gear+, with lots of links. - All Level Up panels put in LV Quadruplers/Triplers/Doublers, in that order. - LV5 on all magic, mainly Thundaga and Cures. - Equip any other good abilities. - Fill EVERY SINGLE EMPTY SLOT with Elixirs. Examine the doors.... ============================================================================= Mission #92: Defeat Xion (Multiple worlds) Number of Chests: 0 Clear Rewards: None Random Rewards: Aeroga Recipe/Gear Component D/Orichalcum/Hi-Potion/Hi-Ether/ Panacea Ally: None ============================================================================= _________________________ -------------------------\ Part 1: Wonderland ) -------------------------/ ������������������������� Attacks: (1) Three-hit combo, with good aim. Back away if close by. (2) Dive bomb until nine hits or a miss. Can Block. (3) Charge up (like a Dual Blade). Cannot be Blocked, just get out of the way. (4) Cover herself in a fire shield and heal half an HP bar. Attack as soon as she gets in the air to stop this. This happens when just under one HP bar. Just have an attack-combo-back off rhythm and you'll be fine. Just beware of the healing! _________________________ -------------------------\ Part 2: Halloween Town ) -------------------------/ ������������������������� Attacks: (1) Three-hit combo. DODGE it, don't Block! (2) Vortex to hold you in place, charge up, and charge. Try to Glide/Air Slide away. (3) Ragnarok (fireballs). Glide away. (4) Same as #4 from before, but heals one whole HP bar. Just dodge the attacks and beware of Ragnarok and the healing. Also, if you get her below 1.5 HP bars, be fast and finish her, or she may do Ragnarok and] heal. _________________________ -------------------------\ Part 3: Agrabah ) -------------------------/ ������������������������� Attacks: (1) Another three-hit combo. Can be Blocked. (2) Four-hit combo. She can travel far with this one. (3) Same as #2 from before. (4) Jump, then land with a shockwave. (5) Same as #4 from before, but heals about 2 HP bars. Rather simple, actually. Just beware: she'll try to heal at ~2 and ~1 HP bar. _________________________ -------------------------\ Part 4: Twilight Town ) -------------------------/ ������������������������� Attacks: (1) Four vertical swings with her right arm. (2) Two horizontal swings with her right arm, then a double swing. (3) Yell and shoot lasers from her shoulders. (4) Gravity ball. Tough to dodge, try Dodge Roll. (5) Vortex after #3, then random lasers. Once her swords are together, Glide toward her. (6) Like #5, but it's just one huge laser blast. Avoid it the same way. Oh boy. Okay, not really. All of these can be dodged by just staying next to Xion. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 358 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- DO NOT LEAVE THIS MISSION!!!!!! If you do, you will have to do Mission #92 all over again!!!! ============================================================================= Mission #93: Defeat Riku (The Castle That Never Was) Number of Chests: 0 Clear Rewards: None Random Rewards: Aeroga Recipe/Gear Component D/Orichalcum/Hi-Potion/Hi-Ether/ Panacea Ally: None ============================================================================= Sweet! Oathkeeper and Oblivion. Even at level one, the Neoshadows will die. If you want some munny and EXP., defeat them. As for Riku.... His attacks: (1) Weak three-hit combo. (2) Shield. Once you see it, hit the BACK, NOT THE FRONT. (3) Dark fireball. It should be Blocked. (4) Teleport and do three aerial dive bombs, creating shockwaves. This part is easy, if you can evade his attacks and heal if needed. At one point, Riku charges up his weapon and gains more power. (5) Teleports all around (circle formation), going through, striking you, and teleporting again. Best avoided with a fast Glide or Dodge Roll. The only changes include the new attack and the fact that Riku will NOT be stunned at all anymore. Yay, you win!!! ________________ | ____________ | | | | | | | | | | |____________| |____________________________________________ | |____________| |_________________________ | | | | | | |\ /\ /| | | | | | | | \ / \ / | | | |____________| | | | (_) (_) | | |________________| |_| |_| ___ ___ ___ /'__`\ /'__`\ /'__`\ /\ \_\ \ /\ \_\ \ /\ \_\ \ \ \___, \ \ \___, \ \ \___, \ \/__,/\ \ \/__,/\ \ \/__,/\ \ \ \_\ \ \_\ \ \_\ \/_/ \/_/ \/_/ KeyBlade999
