The names of things have been roughly translated and are different from what's in the North American version now. I'm glad this helped you all. My info's from personal experience, the GameFAQs message boards, and the Brady Games Player's Guide. Enjoy! My guide does not cover everything involved in synthesis, such as most recipe locations, or the locations of materials that are in treasure chests. Check one of the other helpful GameFAQs guides. http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/game/915410.html links to the FAQs and Guides page. -VERSION 1 (FINAL)- -Deleted all my previous update infos, they're not exactly useful in the first place. -Deleted my full email address from the guide. -Deleted most references to treasure chests. It's obvious by now that I'll NEVER get those done. -Made a few minor changes to the guide, mostly adding little bits of info. Huh. Looks like this "update" is mostly um... deletions. Woo. ----------------- Table of Contents ----------------- 1.

Enemy Drop List ------------------ This list is ranked in order of items by alphabetical/Rarity order... Confusing? Well, it's like this: They are put alphabetically in terms of material type name, so it would start off with the Blazing Materials, then the Bright Materials, and so on. But each material set is ranked in terms of their Rarity level. So the first eight items in the list are in this order: Blazing Shard, Blazing Stone, Blazing Gem, Blazing Crystal, Bright Shard, Bright Stone, Bright Gem, Bright Crystal. Got it memorized? Note: Nothing other than Orichalcums, Orichalcum+ses, and Mythril materials are found in treasure chests. In terms of synth materials, anyways. The Plain Drop List just shows the materials and the enemies that drop them; nothing fancy. The other sections contain end-game enemy locations. Maybe I'll jot down the locations for other Battle Levels sometime, maybe not. But most people only material hunt at the end-game anyways. 1.00 Plain Drop List -------------------- Blazing Shard -> Hammer Frame, Minute Bomb Blazing Stone -> Tornado Step, Cannon Gun Blazing Gem -> Fat Bandit, Fiery Globe Blazing Crystal -> Crimson Jazz, Crescendo Bright Shard -> Bulky Vendor, Creeper Plant, Soldier, Hook Bat, Minute Bomb, Rabid Dog Bright Stone -> Bulky Vendor, Aeroplane, Driller Mole, Luna Bandit, Tornado Step, Wight Knight, Cannon Gun, Silver Rock Bright Gem -> Bulky Vendor, Aerial Knocker, Magnum Loader, Surveillance Robot Bright Crystal -> Bulky Vendor, Air Pirate, Neoshadow, Strafer, Crescendo Dark Shard -> Soldier, Shadow Dark Stone -> Assault Rider, Nightwalker Dark Gem -> Gargoyle Knight/Warrior Dark Crystal -> Air Pirate Dense Shard -> Dragoon, Creeper Dense Stone -> Sniper Dense Gem -> Samurai Dense Crystal -> Berserker Energy Shard -> Bolt Tower, Gargoyle Knight/Warrior, Nightwalker Energy Stone -> Hammer Frame, Lance Soldier, Trick Ghost Energy Gem -> Emerald Blues, Fortuneteller Energy Crystal -> Bookmaster, Shaman Frost Shard -> Lance Soldier, Hook Bat Frost Stone -> Hot Rod, Aeroplane Frost Gem -> Fortuneteller, Icy Cube Frost Crystal -> Living Bone Lightning Shard -> Bolt Tower, Rapid Thruster Lightning Stone -> Emerald Blues, Driller Mole Lightning Gem -> Armored Knight, Surveillance Robot Lightning Crystal -> Strafer, Devastator Lucid Shard -> Trick Ghost, Rabid Dog Lucid Stone -> Graveyard, Toy Soldier, Wight Knight Lucid Gem -> Bookmaster, Magnum Loader Lucid Crystal -> Neoshadow Orichalcum -> Bulky Vendor Power Shard -> Large Body, Creeper Plant Power Stone -> Luna Bandit, Silver Rock Power Gem -> Shaman, Aerial Knocker Power Crystal -> Morning Star Serenity Shard -> Assault Rider, Fat Bandit, Graveyard, Hot Rod, Large Body, Toy Soldier, Creeper Serenity Stone -> Crimson Jazz, Devastator, Living Bone, Morning Star, Dusk Serenity Gem -> Dancer, Dragoon, Gambler, Sniper Serenity Crystal -> Assassin, Berserker, Samurai, Sorcerer Twilight Shard -> Gambler, Dusk Twilight Stone -> Dancer Twilight Gem -> Assassin Twilight Crystal -> Sorcerer 1.01:1 Blazing Shard -------------------- ENEMY 1: Hammer Frame DROP CHANCE: 10% APPEARS IN: Beast's Castle -

Material List ---------------- This is the complete list of synthesis materials as it appears in Moogle Shops. This way, if you're missing some products, you can check here and find out which ones they are.

Bulky Vendor FAQ Section --------------------------- When you enter specific areas, you might get a message saying, "There's a Rare Heartless!" These are the Bulky Vendors. Immediately, you must destroy every destructable object in the area, and for the love of Pete, do NOT leave the area! At some point (for me, when I destroy the first thing) some enemies and the Bulky Vendor(s) will appear. Now, the Bulky Vendors are special. They cannot be hurt by you, but their HP decreases at a fixed rate over time. For each quarter of their HP that is remaining, they have different Reaction Commands. Note that the Vendors run around like crazy when their HP gets lower, so it gets harder to get to the front of them to use the Reaction. HP | Reaction Command | Prize ------------------------------------------------------------ 100-75% | Capsule Prize | Bright Shard 74-50% | Rare Capsule | Bright Stone 49-24% | Limited Capsule | Bright Gem 24-1% | Prime Capsule | Bright Crystal You will always get the Bright Material it drops- the drops have 100% chances. They will also drop numbers of HP, Munny, and Drive orbs, depending on what Reaction you had. They also drop Orichalcums. Unlike the Bright Materials, these do NOT always drop. Now, I have seen conflicting points having to do with the drop rate of Orichalcums. Some say it varies depending on the Reaction, some say it's always the same- Obviously the better rate is supposed to be when its HP is lowest according to the former method. The proposed difference between drop rates for Orichalcums at the Vendor's worst and at its best aren't that much different- the lowest rate is higher than most other synth material drops anyways. I say, if you're wanting an Orichalcum more, wait a little for its HP to drop somewhat and try. If you want a specific lower-level Bright material, though, then get it and take your chances. So far, I have found all the areas where the Bulky Vendors spawn. They are: Land of Dragons | Checkpoint Beast's Castle | West Hall Agrabah | Bazaar Halloween Town | Candy Cane Lane (Two Bulky Vendors spawn here!)*** Olympus Coliseum | Cave of the Dead: Entrance (Two BVs again!) ***Note that at Candy Cane Lane, you must spin the merry-go-round to make the Heartless appear. After you defeat one in an area, it won't respawn there for a while, unless you go out and defeat a different one. So if you're Orichalcum hunting, you should probably go between Halloween Town and Olympus Coliseum repeatedly, as they each spawn two. ---------------------------------------- 5. Orichalcum+/Ultima Weapon FAQ Section ---------------------------------------- Orichalcum+ses have only one use- making the Ultima Weapon. There are 7 in all. The recipe says you need 13 to make it, but you can cut the ingredients in half with an Energy Crystal and it all works out. UPDATE: I thought this was obvious, but the Moogle needs to be a high enough level to use Energy materials (LV2) before you can use an Energy Crystal to make this. UPDATE: For the lazy, here's the recipe: 7 Orichalcum+ 1 Orichalcum 1 Mythril Crystal 1 Dense Crystal 1 Twilight Crystal 4 Serenity Crystal 1 Energy Crystal (necessary!!) You need the Ultima Recipe to make the Ultima Weapon. It's found in Twilight Town, in the room where Donald and Goofy were sleeping, as Sora. Don't go frantically looking for it as Roxas; you'll never find it. The stats of the Ultima Weapon are: 6 Strength, 4 Magic, MP Hastega as Weapon Ability. The locations of the seven Orichalcum+ses are: Space Paranoids - Central Computer Mesa (chest) Twilight Town - Sunset Terrace (as Sora) (chest) The World That Never Was - The Brink of Despair (chest)*** 100 Acre Wood - Finish Starry Hill Atlantica - Finish "A New Day is Dawning" Olympus Coliseum - Beat Goddess of Fate Cup Any Moogle Shop - Get at least one of EVERY other material That wasn't so hard, was it? ***I should state that the Orichalcum found here is hugging the wall of a building on a narrow ledge next to the pit below the Org's castle. So you might not notice it the first time you go through. It is NOT the large treasure chest. Note: THERE IS NO ULTIMA WEAPON+. UPDATE: Well, this seems to happen a lot, though I don't know why people don't realize it at the time, realize it after going back, or why it isn't given directly to the moogle in the first place... When you get the Orichalcum+ prize for obtaining one of every material, YOU MUST LEAVE THE MOOGLE SHOP AND RETURN TO SUBMIT IT TO THE MOOGLE. If you don't do so, even if you have all the other necessary materials, the Ultima Weapon cannot be made. OK? Good. -------------------------- 6.

Synthesis Creation Classification ------------------------------------ This area divides up the created items into four categories: Free Development 1- Unlocked for getting 5 types of Materials Free Development 2- Unlocked for getting 20 types of Materials Free Development 3- Unlocked for getting the Moogle to level 8 Recipes- Unlocked by obtaining specific Recipes The items unlocked by using a Serenity material are not listed here.

Synthesis Collection Prizes ------------------------------- If you meet certain objectives when handing over collected materials to the Moogles, they will give you prizes.

Item collectors, don't worry. The collection is cumulative, and is stored throughout all moogles- so you could give six different moogles five Frost Shards each, and you would get the ability to buy them afterwards.

Moogle Level-Ups -------------------- LV 1-- Synthesize items. LV 2-- Use Bright or Energy Materials in Creations, Free Development or Recipes. Bright Materials increase EXP gained from synthesis. Energy Materials cut synthesis item costs in half. LV 3-- Use Serenity Materials in Creations. Serenity Materials, when added to a previously created item, create for you an entirely new item. LV 4-- Can use both Bright and Energy materials in Free Development or Recipes at once; can use two of the Bright, Energy, or Serenity materials in Creations (but still only one of each) per creation. LV 5-- Rank C items in Creations cost half the price. LV 6-- Rank B items in Creations cost half the price. LV 7-- Rank A items in Creations cost half the price. LV 8-- Make Mythril Gems in Free Development. LV 9-- Rank S items in Creations cost half the price. --------------------------------------------------- 10. Total Materials Needed to Synthesize Everything --------------------------------------------------- This info was taken from http://www.esque.com/slr/gamefaqs/kh2_synthesis_additions.txt Collect all these materials, and you can make every synthesis item without needing to halve costs of anything (excluding the Ultima Weapon). If you make two of any item (not counting when you add in a Serenity material to make the next item on the list) you may not end up with enough materials, so if this is all you get, don't make any more. Of course, since the Moogles level up as you synthesize things, and thereby drop the costs of items in the Creations section, you'll likely end up with a surplus of materials in the end. But with these numbers, you can make all the items, in any order that pleases you. --------------------- Blazing Shards: 4 Blazing Stones: 4 Blazing Gems: 2 Blazing Crystals: 6 Frost Shards: 4 Frost Stones: 4 Frost Gems: 2 Frost Crystals: 6 Lightning Shards: 4 Lightning Stones: 4 Lightning Gems: 2 Lightning Crystals: 6 Lucid Shards: 4 Lucid Stones: 4 Lucid Gems: 2 Lucid Crystals: 6 Power Shards: 4 Power Stones: 8 Power Gems: 2 Power Crystals: 6 Dark Shards: 12 Dark Stones: 8 Dark Gems: 4 Dark Crystals: 8 Dense Shards: 26 Dense Stones: 18 Dense Gems: 16 Dense Crystals: 9 Twilight Shards: 26 Twilight Stones: 18 Twilight Gems: 16 Twilight Crystals: 9 Mythril Shards: 53 Mythril Stones: 38 Mythril Gems: 14 Mythril Crystals: 17 Bright Shards: -- Bright Stones: -- Bright Gems: -- Bright Crystals: -- Energy Shards: -- Energy Stones: -- Energy Gems: -- Energy Crystals: 1 Serenity Shards: 7 Serenity Stones: 7 Serenity Gems: 4 Serenity Crystals: 5 Orichalcum: 13 Orichalcum+: 7 ----------------------------------- 11. What to Equip When Item Hunting ----------------------------------- Now, most of this is really just based on personal preference. However, there is an ability in the game called "Lucky Lucky". Every Lucky Lucky equipped to every active party member increases the drop rate of items. What the exact increase is, I'm not sure, but, as said in GameFAQs' Bestiary/Synthesis Guide, made by UltimaterializerX, "dramage notes that each Lucky Lucky equipped will increase the drop rate by one-third. For example, if a drop rate was originally 12%, one LL will increase it to 16%. From there, you continue multiplying the new drop rate percentage by 1.33 until you get the effect of the number of LLs you have equipped. 12% prorates out to an 88% drop rate with the 7LL setup." I'm not totally sure if this is true but it's better numbers than nothing. So there you go! For convienence's sake, you can multiply the drop rates by seven if you're using all seven. It actually ends up about the same. Though you probably don't care. Anyway. There are seven Lucky Luckies in total for the main party of Sora, Donald and Goofy. There are more on some world-specific party members, but I forget those, and at any rate it's better to use the SDG group. Each of them learns Lucky Lucky as a skill at some point. Each of them will eventually gain a weapon that has Lucky Lucky on it. And there is an accessory with Lucky Lucky on it. Sora's skill: Learned based on level. The level depends on which weapon you picked as Roxas before fighting Twilight Thorn. Lv. 41 for the sword Lv. 53 for the shield And Lv. 99 for the staff. Sora's weapon: Sweet Memories, obtained after doing the second-last page quest for Hundred-Acre Wood, called "The Expotition". Donald's skill: Learned after you, as Sora, fight the Nobodies in front of the Mansion during your last visit to Twilight Town. Donald's weapon: Meteor Staff, found in the Ship Graveyard: Seadrift Keep, in Port Royal. It's on the top level, I believe, near the opening to the Black Pearl. Goofy's skill: Learned after you defeat the three hyenas, Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed, before fighting Scar in Pride Lands. It's the battle where they're trying to kill Timon & Pumbaa. Goofy's weapon: Genji Shield, earned after beating the Titan Cup in Olympus Coliseum. The accessory: Lucky Ring, obtained after beating the Pain & Panic Cup in Olympus Coliseum. ------------------------- 12. Some Random Questions ------------------------- Q: My moogle can't use Bright, Energy, or Serenity items. A: I know. You must slaughter 100 virgins, men or women, doesn't matter, and bathe in their blood before it will. In all seriousness, level it up. Q: How do I level up my moogle? A: You must synthesize things. The moogle gains EXP for each item synthesized. The EXP earned is dependent on the item you make. Q: Hi, my name is John Smith, and I'm emailing to ask for your help with an issue I'm facing. As managing director of Smith's European Banks, I've found that a recent death has left a sum of $15,000,000 unclaimed, and... A: WHEN I FIND YOU I WILL KILL YOU SPAM-BOT Q: Is it all right if I call Xenmas "Mansex"? A: No. Absolutely not. The joke was funny the first time I saw it. Now it's old. Really old. You will be forced to eat a fragmentation grenade if I hear you say that in my presence. Q: You referred to a Pride Rock level up trick... A: Get magic to level 53, equip Experience Boost and the Gull Wing Keyblade, get Magnega, get your health down to critical, then run to the Peak of Pride Rock and cast Magnega rapidly. Watch what happens. Also a good way to get masses of Lightning Shards. Q: Which parts of your guide will help me complete the journal? A: You have to complete the Synthesis List and the Synthesis Prizes sections in this guide in order to complete Jiminy's Journal and get the secret video on Normal mode. You also have to see/defeat (not sure which) all the enemies in the game, so you can use the enemy locations I have in here for help with that, too. I believe you also need to maximize the Moogle's level. Q: OK, so you get the "secret video" on Normal by completing the Journal. What about the other modes? A: Uh? I'm not sure why you'd ask me this question, as opposed to someone who wrote a complete FAQ, or even just on the message board, but OK: --Beginner: Go to Castle Oblivion. (You can't get it) --Standard: Complete the Journal --Proud: Seal all worlds. That means complete the Story in all of them. Q: So, when you say that the Moogle going to level 9 cuts S-rank item prices by half, does that mean I can just level my Moogle up to make the Ultima Weapon instead of using an Energy Crystal? A: First off, this method takes a lot longer, so I dunno why you'd try it. Secondly, cutting prices in half only refers to items in the Creations list, not items in Recipes or Free Development. So, no. ----------- 15. Closing ----------- Well, that's If you notice a definite error in what I've got so far, let me know. I'll check it out and change it if necessary.

Mark Williams- Submitted info for Moogle Level-Ups Falconesque- Added a lot of additional info UltimaterializerX- I used your info and pointed people in the direction of your guide whenever I forgot/didn't know something. If I forgot anyone, sorry, my memory can tend to be a little screwy. There's some copyright stuff I've never bothered to read as well, so go read it yourself if you plan to copy this guide and put it somewhere without my permission.
