Items

Items will be your lifeline and puzzle-solver throughout the game.

Items have many uses, and many only work under special conditions. Here we’ll look at all the different items in the game, even the ones you only have for a short time, and describe what they are, where to get them, and what to do with them.

Any item that does not effect the whole party (“each party member”), you must select a target for before using
(Example: Item -> Potion -> Donald).

=========
Usable Items

Usable Items can be set to an item slot and used in battle. They are marked with a green jar.

Menu Items
=========

Menu Items can only be used outside of battle and must be used from the start menu. They are marked with a yellow triangle.

For the Up items, only ever use them on yourself. Donald and Goofy (and definitely not anyone else) are not worth it. Even if you don’t need the AP, you’ll be wanting it by the end of the game.

--== Mythril ==--
Description:
An extremely rare metal ore.

Found:
- Angel Star (End of the World)
- Behemoth (End of the World)

Note:
Just what is Mythril? You see it in a lot of games, generally as a precious metal. Mythril, correctly spelled Mithril, is a metal first introduced in the Lord of the Rings books. It was mined by the Dwarfs and it’s value is over ten times that of gold. After Khazad-dûm was destroyed, the new supplies of Mithril were cut off, and it’s value sky rocket to being absolutely priceless. It is a sparkling gray/silver color, and it is lighter yet much stronger then steel.

--== Mythril Shard ==--
Description:
A mineral shard containing rare metal.

Found:
- Barrel Spider (Neverland)

- Pot Spider (Agrabah)

--== Orichalcum ==--
Description:
A rare and most valuable ore.

Found:
- Behemoth (End of the World)
- Invisible (End of the World)

Note:
Like Mythril, not many people know what Orichalcum is. Plato first wrote about it in Critias, the story of Atlantis. It was supposedly a metal ore that was only found in Atlantis. It looked and had roughly the same properties of a Gold/Copper alloy (Tumbaga), but Plato wrote that after Atlantis is destroyed Orichalcum is “but a name only” implying that Atlantis was the only source of it, and after the destruction none could be found. Tumbaga and other Gold/Copper alloys are still in very much use today as they were back in the time of Plato, so assuming that line is accurate, we may never know what Orichalcum really was.
