Thinking of you, wherever you are.
We pray for our sorrows to end,
and hope that our hearts will blend,
Now I will step forward to realise this wish.
And who knows:
starting a new journey may not be so hard
or maybe it has already begun.
There are many worlds,
but they share the same sky--
one sky, one destiny...

________________________| Introduction |________________________
\\_________________________//
Hello and welcome to my newest and greatest project up to date, a FAQ for the
game Kingdom Hearts. I'm Spirit Slash3r and I have recently became an author
at GameFAQs and this is the first FAQ I have written. It took me several
playthroughs to help me write this FAQ. My directional skills are not the best
in the world so just bare with them. I have two goals that I wish to complete.
My first goal is to write the biggest Kingdom Hearts walkthrough ever written
and known to man. And my second goal is to write a walkthrough for every Final
Fantasy game there is on the Playstation console and also the Playstation 2
console. Although these two goals are both very big, I will try to complete
both of these huge ambitions. I have been inspired by many walkthrough writers
and now I am one myself. I was just bored one day I decided to write a
walkthrough on one of my favorite games--Kingdom Hearts! I have put a lot of
effort into this walkthrough. Thankyou for choosing this guide to read when
there are so many other Kingdom Hearts walkthroughs to choose from. How did
you ever write a guide so huge you ask? This is very simple with many answers.
The first is that I have always planned on writing a guide for this game but I
never had a chance to. So when I received my new computer and the game itself,
I began on writing it. The second reason that I am writing this guide is
because that Kingdom Hearts is one of my all-time favourite games for the PS2.
The first time I watched my friend play this game, I was instantly hooked. As
you know, I am a teenager and I am currently still attanding school and many
people are amazed how I write guides for games, and still manage with the
schoolwork I have. To tell you the truth, the answer is that I manage my time
wisely and I always write whenever I get the chance to. It is not as hard as
people think. Many people have considered FAQ writers nerds because they spend
time on writing something that no one reads and they "Don't Have A Life".
First of all, this is completely false. A common belief that is totally
untrue. FAQ authors do have a life, like myself. I have many friends that I
hang around and always put my priorities before anything. But I have still
managed to write this guide in my spare time. I would appareciate it if you
could give me some helpful feedback by rating this guide via the GameFAQs
rating system.
Welcome to the game of Kingdom Hearts. I wrote this guide so that I could help
gamers like myself, on the game of Kingdom Hearts. The first time I saw this
game I thought it was a sissy game because it had Disney characters in it but
a friend recommended it to me so I gave it a try. Thanks to him, I am now
hooked and I am writing this FAQ to help other fans of the game. Although the
game has Disney characters in it, the story is very outstanding like all the
other Square-Enix games such as the Final Fantasy series. Like all of the
other Square-Enix games (once called Squaresoft) the game Kingdom Hearts is
not disappointing. The graphics are outstanding and Square-Enix gives the game
that little spark that makes of their games fantastic. In this massive guide,
my goal was to write a sickengly-detailed guide for Kingdom Hearts, and to
give most in-depth information, strategies, side-quests, paths, and anything
else to do with the game. With my incredible knowledge of the game, I have
compiled together a document which you see before you, I am surely confident
that this guide will help you from the start of the game to the very last
second of the end. This guide will help you with every obstacle of the game,
whether it be easy, or hard. My dream is to share this knowledge through this
guide, which I have gathered by playing this game again and again until there
is nothing else to discover, so that I can help every rerader who reads this
guide. I do reply to e-mail. So if you wish to ask me something or just want
to give me comments on this guide, send it to the address provided in the
Contacts section and also the top of the guide and wait patiently for a reply.
I will try answer the e-mail as soon as possible, however, this might take a
few days as I rarely check my e-mail. Be sure to write something like "Kingdom
Hearts Question" or something like that so that I notice it quickly. Note that
everything that I know about the game has been, or will be placed on this
guide, so fans, please read the guide carefully before you send me an e-mail
because the question might be already answered within the FAQ. Also note that
this FAQ is ¤NOT¤ spoiler-free and so you, the reader are reading this FAQ at
your own risk. So if you don't want to ruin the game for yourself, only read
enough as you wish to. But if not, enjoythe whole FAQ! Well that is it from
me (a very big introduction!). See yah!

-------------------------------
Version 1.0 - 02/13/04 (KB: 30)
-------------------------------
I just decided to write a walkthrough because I was so bored so why not not
on one of the games that I love best? Work has begun on the walkthrough. It is
harder than I thought!I also drew the Kingdom Hearts logo as the title! I'm
so happy! Progress has begun and it is very hard! Wrote the guide up |to the
Traverse Town section.
--------------------------------
Version 1.1 - 03/22/04 (KB: 110)
--------------------------------
I haven't had time to work on the Walkthrough/FAQ for a while so I worked my
butt off to write a hell a lot more on it. Made the presentation a lot better.
A huge improvement!
--------------------------------
Version 1.2 - 03/28/04 (KB: 146)
--------------------------------
So far I haven't submitted the guide yet so I read the rules of writing a FAQ
on GameFAQs. I was so pissed when I found out that a FAQ had to be 79
characters long as I wrote mine 97 characters long. So I had to reformat the
whole guide to 79 characters. This took a while plus it reduced my FAQ's size
down a lot! Although I have added a few new things just to boost the size back
up.
--------------------------------
Version 1.3 - 03/31/04 (KB: 187)
--------------------------------
I have now begun to write out the |basic format of this guide by writing out
the table of contents in full detail. The size of this walkthrough has
increased a lot because I have completed the huge task of writing up the
Manual section. I have also written the walkthrough up to the Agrabah World.
--------------------------------
Version 1.4 - 04/12/04 (KB: 235)
--------------------------------
A lot of work has now been put on this guide. And now it is actually looking
like a actual guide that can be placed on the net. Up to today, I have written
up to the Monstro world but I have temporarily halted my work on the
walkthrough and have taken a break and have started writing up a basic format
of what I wish to be the largest guide known to man on the face of the earth.
Now I have re-drew the table of contents giving it a unique code system, and
I also have overcome the massive task of writing up the weapons section.
Other changes are the the Song Lyrics section, the Journal section, and the
Ansem's Report section. Yes, I know I have taken a very long time to give this
update on my guide but I have worked very hard to write this update and plus
there are many new features compared to the old guide. Yes, I have finally
finished this update paragraph.
--------------------------------
Version 1.5 - 05/21/04 (KB: 501)
--------------------------------
Sorry for the delay! I have had too much homework to have time to update the
guide on GameFAQs. But now I have had the chance to do it and plus I have
doubled the size. Many changes have happened since the last update. I have
finished the forever-long abilities section and also I have finished listing
of all the weapons, items and accessories.
--------------------------------
Version 1.6 - 07/05/04 (KB: 739)
--------------------------------
'Sup! Well it's been a long time since the last update. Well my school break
has just begun and so I wrote like mad. A 238 KB improvement speaks for
itself! Many changes like the massive Beastiary has been completed. The
Journal and the Sidequests section have finally been completed. Although I
don't have much to say, there have been many changes including the very long
Sephiroth strategy, I also corrected a few spelling errors.
--------------------------------
Version 1.7 - 01/23/05 (KB: 754)
--------------------------------
Again Sorry for the delay! It has about 2 months since I have even touched
this guide as I was too busy with exams and schoolwork. But now, my summer
break has begun, and I attempt to finish this guide to the very end. Corrected
a few errors.
--------------------------------
Version 1.8 - 03/02/05 (KB: 758)
--------------------------------
It's been a while since I updated this guide. This was because I have been
working on a guide for Final Fantasy X, and I have also been playing Chain of
Memories, which has provided me with a lot of new info on KH2. I've added
some new stuff in the extras section. Check it out!
-------------------------------
Version 1.9 - 04/20/06 (KB: 795)
-------------------------------
I have finally found a downloadable trailer of the popular Deep Dive! Check it
out in the extras! The guide has been completely re-done, in a format that
will be easier to read. This will probably be the final version, unless I find
that there is anything else to add.

worlds and their own existence. Little do they know a great destiny awaits
them. One stormy night, a terrible darkness invades the Destiny Islands. Sora
awakens in a new world, a place called Traverse Town. He soon realises that
his friends Kairi and Riku are nowhere to be found. Meanwhile, two warriors
are ordered by King Mickey to find the "Key". "Now there's somebody with a
key--A key to our survival...We need that Key." That "somebody" was referring
to Sora. Donald the Court Magician and Goofy the Captain of the Royal Knights
joins Sora on his quest to find his friends and to find King Mickey. Thus our
journey begins...

3. The Story Analysis
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Here in this section, I have written down the whole story in my own words. It
contains a lot of SPOILERS so for "First-Timers", I would suggest that you
should read this after you have finished the game.
Sora, a 14 year old boy lives on Destiny Islands with his best friend Kairi
and his rival Riku. Everyday, Sora has adventures with all of the children on
Destiny Islands. These children are Tidus, Wakka, Selphie as well as Riku and
Kairi. Recently, the three have started building a raft so that they can set
sail to explore new and different worlds. As Sora is looking for a mushroom,
he ventures into a cave where he meets a hooded figure. The figure tells that
Sora will have to unlock a "door". Confused by his words, Sora turns around
and the hooded figure is gone. That night Sora wakes up to a rumbling sound.
It was a storm. He immediatley remembers about the raft. Sora races to the
raft and finds that there are fiends all over Destiny Islands. Sora attempts
to attack these fiends but it has no effect. With nothing else to do, Sora
runs to the wooden bridge and he sees Riku standing alone. Riku starts talking
about the "Heartless". What is the Heartless? Sora thinks. Then right in front
of Sora's eyes, Riku gives his heart into the Darkness. Now with Riku gone a
blade falls from the sky. The Keyblade is its name, with the power of the
light, it can defeat the shadows of the darkness. Sora returns to the secret
area and finds Kairi staring at the door. "Sora" she says and a gust of wind
blows Sora unconscious. When Sora awakens, he realises that he still on
Destiny Islands. The thing is that Destiny Islands is now only a little island
of sand and debris. Suddenly, a large dark body confronts Sora and the battle
for survival begins. Sora defeats the dark body and finds that out that its
name is Darkside. Sora then falls into a deep sleep.
Meanwhile, in the Disney Kingdom, in Disney Castle, Donald, the court wizard
walks into the throne room to greet the King. "It's nice to see you this
morn--" says Donald and then realises that the King is missing. Pluto, the
King's royal pet, gives Donald a letter written by the King saying that he had
to leave as the stars are going out. Donald immediatley runs to Goofy, the
captain of the Royal Knights, and tells him the news. And so, the two of them
leave for Traverse Town, where the King told them to go. To find a man named
Leon. This man knew a lot about what was happening. Donald and Goofy are then
accompanied by Jimminy Cricket who tells them how he escaped from his world
as it was about to collapse. Donald and Goofy take control of their ship, the
Gummi Ship, and head for Traverse Town.
As Donald and Goofy reach Traverse Town, they see a star go out. This meant
bad news and that they had to find Leon quicker. The only problem was that
they didn't know where Leon lived. Pluto then picks up a scent and trails off.
Donald, thinking that he is so good, leads the way but Goofy suggests that
they should follow Pluto. "Aw Phooey" says Donald and off they went. Meanwhile
Sora is awakened by Pluto and then Pluto runs off. Sora realises that his
friends are nowhere to be found and so he visits the Accessory Shop where he
meets a man named Cid. Cid tells Sora that he is now in Traverse Town--A
different world than his own. Upon leaving the shop he witnesses a man having
his heart stolen and Sora returns to the Accessories Shop. Upon leaving the
Accessories, Sora encounters a man named Leon (don't ask me why his name isn't
Squall!). Leon spots the Keyblade which Sora is wielding and he challenges
Sora to a fight. Sora defeats Leon but passes out from the exhaustion of the
battle. Sora awakens (he's doing that a lot now!) to find that Kairi is
watching him. Not! It seems that it was only a illusion and it was realy a
girl named Yuffie. Meanwhile, Donald and company meet a girl named Aerith
(don't ask me why her name isn't Aeris!). She asks if they are the ones sent
by the King. They reply and follow her to the Red Hotel room. In the room,
Aerith reveals that in the Universe, there are many worlds. But now there a
fiends called Heartless. The story switches back to Sora. The Heartless? asks
Sora. Leon then tels Sora "Ones without a heart." He realises the monsters
that he has fought recently are the Heartless in which Leon is referring to.
Leon also reveals that there is a "Key" that can save humanity from the
Heartless. That "Key" was the Keyblade and that Sora was chosen by the
Keyblade itself to wield it. Now back to Donald and Goofy. Aerith tells Donald
and Goofy about a man named Ansem. This man devoted his life to studying the
Heartless and that he wrote down his findings in 10 separate reports. If they
wished to know more about the Heartless, they would have to find these ten
reports. But Donald and Goofy's main goal was to find the King. But in order
to do that, they would have to find them Keyblade wielder.Then suddenly, the
Heartless attack the Hotel and Sora and Leon run out of the Hotel and defeat
the Heartless. With a lot more knowledge on the Heartless, Sora runs into the
Second District. Donald and Goofy are on a balcony prepared to fight the
Heartless, but instead, are blasted back and they land on Sora. Donald and
Goofy spot the Keyblade and then the powerful Guard Armor appears. They defeat
it and the three return to Leon who tells that there are many different types
of Heartless to defeat. Donald and Goofy join Sora on his quest to find his
friends and then they head into their Gummi Ship--a ship made from meteor
blocks called Gummi Blocks, and they took aflight.
Their first destination was to Wonderland. Upon arriving, the party meets the
White Rabbit and they drink a potion making them small so that they can fit
through the door. The lead to the Queen's Courtyard where a court case was
about to begin. The Queen was accusing Alice of doing the harms of the
Heartless. Of course, this was untrue and Sora and company, were determined
to prove Alice's innoscence. Their task was to find four pieces of evidence
that would prove that Alice was not guilty. Once Sora finished, the party
returned to the courtyard and showed the pieces to the Queen. Although she
knew deep down inside that she was wrong, she didn't to admit it. So she
simply accused them next. She ordered her soldiers to seize Sora, Donald, and
Goofy. The party defeated all of the soldiers but after the battle, Sora
noticed that Alice had disappeared from her cage. The Queen gave them a chance
to find Alice. Upon leaving Wonderland, Sora and company ran into the powerful
Trickmaster--a powerful monster who was sent by Maleficent to destroy Sora and
his friends. The battle was tough but Sora and his friends defeated the
poweful monster in the end. After defeating Trickmaster, it dropped behind a
rare Navi-G piece. Its powers remained unknown. They now had to go look for
Alice. The party boarded the Gummi Ship and headed for the next world.
Sora, Donald, and Goofy's next destination was to the mighty Olympus Coliseum.
There, they met Phil, a hero trainer. The party's goal was to win the Cup that
was to be held later on. But there was one obstacle, Phil assumed that Sora
and his friends were too weak to participate in the cup. So Phil put Sora and
his friends on a few trials, so that Sora could prove his worthiness. The
group passed the trials but they weren't permitted to enter the games as they
did not have a ticket. Sora and company left Olympus Coliseum and met up with
a being named Hades. There was something suspicious about him, but Hades gave
them a ticket in order to enter the games. Sora, Donald, and Goofy entered
into the preliminaries. There, they battled many enemies. Upon battling the
final preliminary match, they met a man named Cloud. Cloud was hired by Hades
to destroy Sora and his friends as they had been interrupting his plans to
take over the universe. After they defeated Cloud, Sora realised that he was
given the ticket so that he would be defeated in combat, but that was not true
as Cloud was not strong enough. Hades, furious because Cloud had failed, sent
his pet, Cerberus to attack the coliseum. By that time, Hercules entered the
scene and was fighting off the ferocious monster. But his strength alone could
not defeat Cerberus. Sora, Donald, and Goofy rushed in to help Hercules. After
defeating Cerberus, Phil postponed the Games as the coliseum was a mess
because of the fight. The party was now finished as there was nothing else to
do. Upon leaving, Sora met Cloud sitting on the steps. They talked and Cloud
told Sora that he helped Hades so that he could find someone who he was
looking for. Sora was also looking for someone. After the conversation, the
group boarded the Gummi Ship and left Olympus Coliseum.
The next destination was the lucious Deep Jungle. There, Sora and Donald had
an arguement. The result ended up in the party splitting up. Sora encountered
a ferocious leopard named Sabor. Sora defeated the leopard and met a man named
Tarzan. Apparently, Tarzan was raised by gorillas. Tarzan took Sora to a camp
where he met a woman named Jane and a hunter named Clayton. Donald and Goofy
rejoined with Sora. The first time Sora laid eyes on Clayton, he knew that he
would be trouble. And Sora was correct. Clayton was possessed by the Heartless
as he yearned for power. Tarzan knew this and he wouldn't take Clayton to the
Gorilla breeding grounds. Angered by this, Clayton abducted Jane began to hunt
the gorillas. Sora and company finally found out where Clayton was but the
leopard Sabor returned for revenge. Sora and company finished off Sabor, then
encountering Clayton. The final showdown was too easy. Sora and comapany
defeated Clayton but just as he was about to be finished, he called a friend.
A Heartless friend. This Heartless monster was called Stealth Sneak, a
invisible monster. No matter how hard Clayton tried, Sora defeated him in the
end, along with Stealth Sneak. Appraised by their effort, Kerchak, the gorilla
tribe leader, trusted in the humans and threw the party up in the air. Sora,
Donald, and Goofy landed in a place known as the Cavern Of Hearts. There, Sora
and his friends found a keyhole. Somehow Sora's keyblade was connected with
the keyhole, and then a beam of light shot from the keyhole which sealed
keyhole. They boarded the Gummi Ship and headed for their next destination.
Sora and his friends returned to Traverse Town. There, they met Leon who gave
them an Earthshine, a rare item. As they are about to leave Traverse Town,
they enter the Accessories shop for a few supplies. Cid, the shop owner then
asks them to do a favor. He asks them to deliver a book he repaired to a
friend of his. Sora look everywhere for Cid's friend and finally they find a
house. As they are about to enter it, a man appears. This man was named
Merlin, Cid's friend. There, they also met a lady named the Fairy Godmother.
She saw the Earthshine which was given to Sora by Leon and restored into a
summon--the Simba summon. Sora and friends then return to Cid who then
installs a new Gummi block into their ship. This new gummi block allowed
access to new worlds. Duriing their travels in Traverse Town, they encountered
a old friend, the Gurad Armor. As they defeated quickly, it changed shape into
a new monster called the Opposite Armor. Sora, Donlad, and Goofy fought
valiantly and defeated the monster. When the battle finished Sora found the
Keyhole for Traverse Town. He sealed it and they were finished with Traverse
Town.
After a lot of travelling, they utilised their new gummi block, the Warp-G.
They used it to enter a warphole leading to a new world called Agrabah. In
Agrabah, they met a magic carpet who flew them to the desert. There, they met
a man named Aladdin who was out hunting for treasure. Aladdin spoke of a cave
full of treasure. This cave was referred to as the Cave of Wonders. Aladdin
then introduced Sora and his friends to his monkey Abu, and his other friend
named Genie, who lived inside a magical lamp. As they returned to Agrabah, the
group met a man named Jafar, who wanted to take over Agrabah. He stole
Aladdin's lamp, which meant that Jafar was Genie's new master and also
kidnapped Jasmine, the princess of Agrabah. Jafar then summoned a powerfu
monster called the Pot Centipede. As the party was fighting the Pot Centipede,
Jafar ran off to the Cave of Wonders. Sora nad company defeated the Pot
Centipede and realised that Jafar had ran off. So they followed him into the
desert where they met the Guardian Lion which was the guardian of the Cave of
Wonders. Possessed by the Heartless, the Guardian Lion attacked the party. But
of course, Sora and company destroyed the darkness within it and it granted
them access to the Cave of Wonders. Sora and company followed Jafar deep into
the cave where they faced him in a battle. During the battle, Jafar called
Genie to help him. But the party overthrew Jafar and won the battle. After the
battle the impact of the battle created a huge hole in the centre of the arena
a Jafar fell down the bottomless hole. But Sora wasn't about to give up just
yet so he and his friends couragously jumped down too! Jafar wasn't finished
just yet. Although he used up all of his stength in the previous battle, the
used the Genie's power of the wishes to wish for him to become an all-powerful
Genie. Sora and company arrived to the scene and saw the effect. But there was
one flaw in Jafar's plan. The party engaged in another battle but instead of
targetting Jafar, the party attacked the parrot Iago, who was carrying the
lamp. Eventually Iago dropped the lamp and Sora used the lamp to capture
Jafar. They then encountered the mysterious Maleficent, the woman which the
people of Traverse Town spoke of. Sora then learned that Maleficent was
gathering seven girls called the Seven Princesses of the Heart. Maleficent
then told them that these seven girls had the power to open the "Final
Keyhole." What was this "Final Keyhole" that the Maleficent spoke of? Little
did Sora knew, all would be revealed later. Whenthe battle finished, Jasmine
had disappeared. Apparently, someone else had taken her. The Keyhole of
Agrabah was revealed and Sora locked it. Suddenly, the Cave of Wonders began
to collapse with Sora and his friends in it! Quickly, Aladdin's Magic Carpet
flew the party out of the cave just before it was about to collapse. Sora and
his friends returned to Agrabah where Aladdin used his final wish to set Genie
free. Aladdin asked Genie if he could help Sora find Jasmine and Genie agreed
to help. Sora acquired the Genie summon. The group was now finished ao they
and left Agrabah.
Sora, Donald, and Goofy's next destination was to a new world that was
unknown. But during their flight, a huge whale named Monstro appeared and
swallowed the gummi ship up. Inside Monstro they met a man named Gepetto and
a wooden puppet named Pinocchio. After much conversation, Pinocchio ran off,
deep into Monstro. It was now up to Sora to retrieve Pinocchio. As the group
was searching for Pinocchio, they met an old friend--Riku. Riku was with
Pinocchio but as Sora was about to begin talking, Riku and Pinocchio ran off
further into Monstro. It was a long and epic journey as the party was
travelling through Monstro. Suddenly, the Heartless appeared. Fighting them
off, they entered the Monstro's bowels. There, they met Riku but Pinocchio was
nowhere to be found. As they began talking, a huge monstere named the Parasite
Cage appeared, holding Pinocchio within its stomach. Sora, Donald, and Goofy
fought the monster but Riku also helped them. Once the Parasite Cage was
defeated, Riku disappeared with Pinocchio. Again, Sora and company followed
him. This time they ended up at Monstro's stomach where Riku revealed why he
was chasing Pinocchio. He wanted to take the puppet's heart. Then Parasite
Cage returned for another battle. Parasite Cage took hold of Pinocchio but the
group dfeated it once and for all. Pinocchio was knocked out for a while so
the group returned to Geppeto's ship. There, Pinocchio regained consciousness
but Riku disappeared from the scene. Sora was baffled by his old friend's
change in personality. Sora, Donald, and Goofy were now finished with Monstro.
Monstro sneezed the gummi ship back out. They then journeyed in their gummi
ship to a world called Atlantica. Before they entered the world, Sora noticed
that there was no air in the world, only water! Sora was afraid that he would
drown but Donlad said that his magic would protect them. As they entered
Atlantica, Sora was transformed into a dolphin, Goofy was transformed into a
turtle, and Donald was transformed into a octopus. The party met a mermaid
named Ariel and her friends named Sebastian and Flounder. She told them to
visit her Palace. So Sora and company headed for the Palace. On their way to
the palace, Ariel asked where Sora came from. Knowing that he wasn't allowed
to tell anyone where he came from, he simply lied to Ariel and told her that
he came from a different ocean. King Triton, Ariel's father did not like Sora
and his friends. A wicked witch known as Ursula had called for the Heartless'
help and so, she summoned them into Atlantica. The swarm of Heartless attacked
the palace but Triton managed to defeat them all. Triton, thought that the
Heartless was caused by Sora and his friends, began to hate them even more. He
then told Ariel that she wasn't allowed to leave the palace because of all of
the dangerous Heartless swimming around in the ocean. But Ariel did not listen
to her father, and intentionally ran off with Sora and friends to her special
place, the grotto. Ariel showed all of the things that she had collected over
the years and then the party left the grotto. Meanwhile, Ursula sent her two
minions to spy on the princess, the wicked Ursula was watching them. Sora and
friends rode on a dolphin and reached a sunken ship. Being curious, Sora
entered the sunken ship and found a crystal trident. He noticed that it was in
the same shape as the hole found in Ariel's Grotto, so the party returned to
the grotto. They then placed the trident within the hole and the trident
reacted with it. But before the reaction was complete, Triton entered the
scene and immediately destroyed the trident. He then comfirmed that Sora and
his friends didn't come from a different ocean, but from a different world,
and also, that he was the key bearer, who was looking for the keyhole. King
Triton then banished the group from the palace. Because of this, Ariel left
crying. This was a perfect chance for Ursula to attack, and indeed she did.
She sent her two minions, Jetsam and Flotsam out to search for Ariel. After
the two found her, Ursula told Ariel that she could visit other worlds if she
came with her. Because Ursula was so persuasive, Ariel listened, and
eventually her. Of course, Ursula was only using Ariel to obtain the trident.
Sora, Donald, and Goofy returned to Triton's Palace and found that Triton had
been attacked by Ursula and she also took the King's trident, his source of
power. It was now up to the party to retrieve the trident. They returned to
the sunken ship and with them, they took Sebastian. He uncovered a switch
which he then activated. The switch revealed the entrance to the wicked
Ursula's Lair. She then entered combat but the team ended victorious. She then
retreated and utilised the trident's power to enhance her own. This resulted
in making her a lot bigger. The group fought again and won, but also retrieved
the trident. They gave it back to King Triton and he revealed that he had
destroyed the crystal trident becasue it reveal where the keyhole was. He told
that the keyhole was located in Ariel's Grotto and Sora sealed it. They parted
farewell and left Atlantica.
The next world was strange. Everyone was spooky-looking so, to blend in, Sora
and the gang dressed up in spooky costumes. The gang proceeded to Guillotine
Square, where they met the Mayor of Halloween Town. The Mayor introduced the
group to the king of nightmares, Jack Skellington. Jack headed to Dr.
Finkelstein's, where the party learned that Jack was trying to create an
artificial heart, all to control the Heartless, which would then use in his
dance. Dr Finkelstein told Sora that the heart need emotion, terror, fear,
hope, despair, and pulse, but the heart was unsuccessful, as it needed
"memory," something that Sally had. Jack joins the group, to find Sally. They
eventaully find her in the Graveyard. She handed them the memory, a "Forget-me
-not," and then three kids appeared, called Lock, Shock, and Barrel. After
their appearance, they disappeared. So the group returned to the lab where Dr.
Finkelstein told them that they still needed the element of suprise to create
a heart. Meanwhile, Lock, Shock, and Barrel told Oogie Boogie, the villian of
Halloween Town, about the artificial heart, and how it could control the
Heartless. Oogie Boogie then planned to steal the heart. The party found the
Mayor who gave them a "Jack-in-the-box," the element of suprise. A the Dr.
was about to complete the heart back at the lab, Lock, Shock, and Barrel
appeared, and stole the heart. The group chased after them, and eventually
ended up at Oogie's manor. The party battled the three kids and proceeded on
to Oogie's Torture Chamber. Oogie Boogie fought the group, but he was easily
defeated, but then he became one with his manor. Sora realised that his source
of power were the dark orbs located on the manor. So he destroyed all of them
defeating Oogie. The manor and Ooggie disappeared. Jack promised that next
year's Halloween would be the best ever. Sora and his friends then boarded the
Gummi Ship, and left Halloween Town.
During their travels, the group eventually encountered a pirate ship. The
pirates attacked the gummi ship. When Sora regained consciousnesss, he found
himself on the deck alone, without his friends. He the finally relised that
his rival Riku was on board, and also Kairi. He told Sora that she had lost
her heart and that was the reason why he had joined forces with Maleficent.
Since Riku now had the power to control the Heartless, he summoned a very
special Heartless called Shadow Sora. Then Captain Hook opened a trapdoor,
resulting in Sora falling into the cell. He joined up with Donald and Goofy,
but also with Peter Pan, who was on board looking for his friend Wendy. He
had a little fairy friend called Tinker Bell. Sora found out that Peter had
the ability to fly. Peter then told Tinker Bell to open the door. Meanwhile,
Smee Hook's assistant reported to Captain Hook that the prisoners had escaped.
The group explored the whole ship until they found Wendy, who was on the upper
floor that was currently unreachable. She told Peter that Kairi was next to
her Kairi wasn't moving. Sora and the others had to find a way to get to the
upper deck. So they found a trapdoor that led to the Captain's room. But when
they entered the room, they encountered the Shadow Sora. Sora and the others
managed to fight off the shadow and then the party made their way up to the
deck. When they reached the deck, Peter met Wendy, who was currently
unconscious. Sora looked around for Kairi, but she was nowhere to be seen.
Then Sora asked where Kairi was, Hook told him that Riku had taken her with
him. Hooked then noticed that "The Crocodile," who was the crocodile that bit
his hand off, was swimming nearby. This gave him an idea. Hook made Sora walk
the plank. Sora stood on the plank and heard Peter telling him that he could
fly only if he believed that he could. So Sora jumped off the plank, but
before he hit the water, he flew in the air. Peter then released Tinker Bell,
who was locked up in a lantern. Then Captain Hook fought the group. The group
won the battle and Hook fell off the plank and was swallowed up by the
crocodile. Tinker Bell told Peter that something was happening at the clock
Tower. Sora and the others flew to the clock tower and found the keyhole. Sora
then sealed the keyhole and left Neverland. Upon sealing the keyhole, they
came upon a gummi piece. It seemed special, so they returned to Traverse
Town...
At Traverse Town, they went to visit Cid, the gummi ship expert. He said that
the piece was called Navi-Gummi, a gummi that would reveal more worlds to
them. Cid installed the piece into the gummi ship. Then the party left
Traverse Town.
Their next destination was the mysterious Hollow Bastion. When Sora, Donald,
and goofy disembarked their ship, they all heard a loud roar, made by Beast.
As soon as the party heard the roar, they rushed up to the platform above, and
found Beast fighting Riku. When Beast's world was destroyed, he was separated
from Belle. He believed that he had to find her, and his advaenture ended up
at Hollow Bastion. Then Riku claimed that the keyblade belonged to him. For
some reason, the keyblade then transported itself from Sora's hand to Riku's
hand. Riku then threw Sora tye wooden toy sword that he had used on Destiny
Islands. Sora kneels down in disappointment. Since the king's order was to
follow the key, Donald and Goofy had no choice but to follow Riku. The three
walked off. Beast and Sora then join forces. They traveled through a maze and
open the main door. Meanwhile, Maleficent was inside the chapel with the
seven princesses. She then told the princesses to reveal the keyhole. Sora and
Beast meet Belle, but it was only a shadow disguised as Belle. This made Beast
furious and he attacked the heartless. After the incident with Belle, Riku
appeared, with Donald and Goofy. Riku warned Sora that the darkness would
destroy him, then he transformed into his true form, a dark form known as
Ansem Riku. Riku then made a dark orb and he threw it at Sora. But before it
could hit Sora, Goofy blocked it with his shield. Goofy realised that Riku's
plans were evil and so did Donald. The keyblade then disappeared from Riku's
hand and then returned back to Sora's hand. The battled and Riku lost. He
retreated. They party solved a few puzzles to open the door. They saw Riku,
back in his normal form, talking to the hooded man that Sora had met before.
This man was known as Ansem. Riku was talking about how he had lost the
keyblade. Ansem told him that he had a weak heart, and to make it stronger,
he had to give himslef up to the darkness. Riku gave his heart up to Ansem,
who filled it with darkness. The group now had to solve a few more puzzles,
but they eventually reached the Chapel, where Maleficent and Riku were.
Riku was back in the evil form, but now, he had a different voice. Sora had
noticed that Riku was holding a keyblade like his own. Riku explained that
the keyblade was a keyblade made from the darkness, a complete opposite of
Sora's. Maleficent then battled Sora, Donald, and Goofy, but in the end, she
lost. The party proceeded onwards and found Riku telling them that his
keyblade had the ability to unlock the darkness in people's hearts. He stabbed
Maleficent's heart, unleashing darkness, making Maleficent stronger, and
changing her into her almighty Dragon form. Sora and the gang readied their
weapons and fought a vicous battle. The Dragon was defeated and Maleficent was
truly defeated. Riku retreated again. They followed him and reached the Grand
Hall. There, Riku and Sora fought a one-on-one battle as a barrier was
blocking them from entering. Sora won the fight but he noticed Kairi lying on
the floorr. Donald and Goofy then told Sora that the keyhole was not complete
to be sealed yet. They said that they had to free Kairi's heart. Sora picked
up Riku's keyblade and stabbed his own heart. Sora disappeared, resulting in
Kairi waking up. Kairi saw what Sora had done and held him, but he faded
away. Then, Ansem appeared. Then an image of Riku appeared, who told the group
to run. Ansem summoned a band of heartless to attack the group, so they ran
back to their gummi ship. Meanwhile, Sora was transformed into a Shadow. He
also made his way back to the entrance and met the others. Kairi instantly
noticed that it was Sora. Kairi then returned his heart and Sora returned to
his normal self. They boarded the gummi ship and left Hollow Bastion.
The group returned to Traverse Town, where they met Leon, Yuffie, Aerith, and
Cid. Sora told Leon what had happened at Hollow Bastion. Leon told Sora that
the source of the heartless was the keyhole in Hollow Bastion. So Sora had to
seal the keyhole to prevent heartles from appearing. Sora met up with Cid who
said that it was too dangerous to use the route that they were taking, so he
installed a new navigation gummi on their ship, giving them another route to
Hollow Bastion, a safer route. But there was only one problem, Cid had left
the gummi in the secret waterway, so Sora retrieved the gummi, but on the way
he met Kairi. She said that their hearts were connected, and the reason that
Sora's returned to normal was because she had broken him free from the
darkness using her own. Sora returned to Cid, who installed the gummi into
the ship. The group returned to Hollow Bastion.
When they disembarked from their ship, they found that Hollow Bastion was
worse than before. There were more heartless appearing. They entered the
library, and found Belle and Beast, who were together again. They met the
princesses in the chapel and entered the portal. There, they fought Behemoth,
who was the most powerful heartless, but they were victorious. After Behemoth
was defeated, the keyhole revealed itself. Sora sealed it and Leon, Aerith,
Yuffie, and Cid appeared. They told Sora that this was their home years ago.
Leon told Sora that there were walls in between worlds. The heartless broke
those walss, if SOra was to defeat the heartless, tyhose walls would return,
resulting in that Sora would not be able to visit any more wolrds. He knew the
risks that were involved bt he decided that he would go on. He prepared and
left Hollow Bastion. The party's last destination was the end of all worlds,
the End of the World.
Sora, Donald, and Goofy travelled through the world, until they reached the
very bottom of the world. Sora came upon a door, that if you remember looked
exactly the same as the one from the Awakening scene. Before Sora could open
the door, the mysterious voice said, "Careful. This is the last haven you'll
find here. Beyond, there is no light to protect you. But don't be afraid. Your
heart is the mightiest weapon of all. Remember, you are the one who will open
the door to the light." But only Sora could hear this voice, Donald and Goofy
could not hear the voice. When Sora opened the door, he was back on Destiny
Islands. But there was something wrong, everything started to disappear and
change. Sora headed towards the secret place where, he saw Riku standing on
the beach. The group approached the image of Riku. The image disappeared and
Ansem appeared. He told them that Riku was no longer under his control. Anssm
and Sora fought and Sora won. Ansem disppeared and reappeared in a cavern
that was created near the waterfall. Sora entered the cavern but Donald and
Goofy were blocked out by a barrier. Ansem and Sora fought again, but this
time, it was a one-on-one match. After Ansem was defeated, he summoned an old
friend, Darkside. Sora fought Darkside with ease, but after the battle, Sora
was pulled into the darkness. When he regained consciousness, he realised that
Donald and Goofy were with him. He spotted Ansem in front of him. He told them
that Kingdom Hearts was the source of all darkness, but Sora believed that in
Kingdom Hearts, there was light. Ansem, furious from Sora's statement,
transformed into his ultimate form, the World of Chaos. Sora and his friends
fought the final boss and defeated Ansem. Ansem, who was near-death, opened
the door of Kingdom Hearts as a last resort to gain power, but instead of
darkness, light appeared. The light engulfed Ansem, and he was truly defeated.
Sora, Donald, and Goofy approached the door, and saw that Heartless were
coming from the door. They decided to close the door. Three Darksides appeared
and attempted to attack Sora but King Mickey appeared and fought them off.
Riku then appeared and helped the gang close the door, while Mickey and him
were still in Kingdom Hearts. Riku was not able to leave Kingdom Hearts
because he had no heart. The doors to Kingdom Hearts were closed and the two
were locked inside. Kairi then appeared and she saw Sora. Then End of the
World began to shatter appart, probably because Ansem was not around anymore.
Sora and Kairi were again spearated. Kairi is seen back on Destiny Islands,
meaning that all the worlds were restored. She relives the incident where she
and Sora were drawing on the walls. She sees Sora drawing a picture of Sora
giving her a paopu fruit. She then does the same, meaning that their lives
would remain a part of each other's lives no matter what.
Meanwhile, Sora, Donald and Goofy are seen walking on a road. They don't
know what to do, but then they find Pluto, who is carrying a letter bearing
the King's seal. They chase Pluto. This means that the King and Riku are still
out there. Somewhere. Thus, our journey still continues...

'--------------------------------------------------'
(1) Field Icon: A Field Icon appears when there are objects or people in
Sora's vicinity with which he can interact.
(2) Commands: Depending onn the situation, the "Attack" commmand may change
into another command such as "Talk". It often changes when a field icon
appears.
(3) Party's Gauges: Display the current condition of party members.
(4) Sora's Gauges: Displays Sora's current condition.
------
Gauges
------
The green gauge displays your Hit Points (HP), or health. Once it falls below
a certain point, a warning alarm will sound and the gauge will flash red. The
blue gauge shows your magic points (MP). MP decreases when spells are cast.
Some abilities consume MP as well. The orange bar is the charge gauge. Once
it fills up to a certain point, it will be converted to MP. Spells with low MP
cost draw from the charge gauge first.
------------------
HP and MP Recovery
------------------
Certain items, rewards, and magic restore HP. For all party members except
Sora, HP are also replenished over time: so if Sora's allies are knocked out
(K.O.'d) in battle, they automatically recover HP after a while. MP can be
restored by using certain items or by filling the charge gauge (by attacking
enemies and obtaining rewards). You can completely restore HP and MP by
touching save points.
-----------------------------
Targeting And Command Changes
-----------------------------
Sora can automatically target enemies, people he can talk to, and objects he
can pick up or examine, such as crates and paintings. Sertain commands may
change into new ones when something is targeted. Turn automatic targeting on
and off in the Configuration Menu.
Press the R1 button to lock on to a target. Press the L2 button or the R2
button to cycle through the avaliable targets.
-------------
The Main Menu
-------------
Press the START button to display the Main Menu. Here, you can do many things
such as use items, equip abilities and items, and customise controls and
settings. For more details, please refer to the help message for each submenu.
NOTE: The Main Menu is inaccessible during battle and certain other
situations.
-----------
Save Points
-----------
Save points allow you to save your progress, restore your HP and Mp, and can
be found in many places. There are two types of save points. All type A points
can teleport you to the Gummmi Ship, and they never disappear. Some Type B
points cannot teleport you to the Gummi Ship and may only be temporary.
Therefore type A's are called permanent and B's are called temporary.
-------------
The Save Menu
-------------
You can access the Save Menu at save points. The Save Menu lists the following
options.
+-------+----------------------------------------+
| Save | Save your progress to the Memory Card. |
+-------+----------------------------------------+
| Party | Switch party members when there are |
| | more than two avaliable to accompamy |
| | Sora. |
+-------+----------------------------------------+
| Gummi | Board the Gummi Ship. This option does |
| Ship | not appear intially or at all in Type B|
| | save points. |
+-------+----------------------------------------+
| Menu | Open the Main Menu. |
+-------+----------------------------------------+
---------
Exploring
---------
When you stand before a door or passage, a subtitle showing your destination
will be displayed. Some doors cannot be opened, while some are momentarily
locked. You cannot exit an area while you have a target locked.
---------------
Treasure Chests
---------------
Treasure Chests lie in many places. Most are easy to find, some are not. There
are a few that cannot be opened until certain conditions are met. Chests
cannot be opened during battle. Some lie in Trinity marks and some are hidden
as what it contains can be very valuable.
-------------
Trinity Marks
-------------
Keep your eyes out for Trinity Marks. There are blue, red, yellow, green and
white versions. Touching the mark will prompt the Trinity ability in the
Command Menu if the ability has been attained. Sora, Donald and Goofy must
all be in the party to activate a Trinity.
Note: When characters such as Aladdin or Tarzan are in your party, you will
not be able to activate Trinity Marks.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
3. The Battle System MAN3
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Battles take place in the field map. All battles are fought in real-time,
therefore Sora is susceptible to sustain damage at all times, even while
selecting items and spells. The Command Menu turns red during battle.
-------------------
Combination Attacks
-------------------
While attacking, press the X button at the right time to trigger a combo
attack. Besides the basic three-hit combo, there are combination attacks that
deal even more blows.
------------------------------
Party Members' Battles Actions
------------------------------
The game system controls your party members. However, you can adjust each
member's style in the "Customize" Menu, found within the Main Menu. Press the
TRIANGLE button to call your friends for help in battle. This feature does not
work in certain situations.
-----------------------------
Expreience Points And Rewards
-----------------------------
Earn experience points by defeating enemies. Excecuting certain actions, like
parrying an attack, also yields experience points, in the form of tech points.
-------
Rewards
-------
Enemies leave various items behind when they are defeated. Some items can only
be acquired this way. A few items come in different sizes, with the bigger
ones having more value or greater effect.
Green balls - Restores HP
Clear balls - Refills charge gauge
Boxes - Contains various items and comes in different colours
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
4. Magic and Summons MAN4
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
---------------
Learning Spells
---------------
Learn new spells by clearing stages or completing certain tasks. Learned
spells can be viewed by selecting the "Magic" command.
------------
Basic Spells
------------
Here is a lists of all the basic magic spells.
+----------+---------------------------+
| Fire | Unleahses a fireball |
| Blizzard | Unleahes ice crystals |
| Thunder | Calls down lightening |
| Cure | Restores a character's HP |
| Aero | Casts a proectective shell|
| Stops | Halts and enemies' actions|
| Gravity | Deals damage by enemy HP |
+----------+---------------------------+
----------------
Upgrading Spells
----------------
Spells grow more powerful once you have cleared key events or defeated certain
enemies. Their MP cost remains the same however.
-----------------------------------
Customising The Magic Shortcut Menu
-----------------------------------
Select "Customize" from the Main Menu to assign spells to shortcut buttons.
Press the shortcut button while holding down L1 button to cast the assigned
spell. This makes casting much quicker and easier.
----------------------
Learning Summon Spells
----------------------
Learn summon spells by clearing certain stages or giving a summon gem to the
Fairy Godmother. Each summoned character holds unique powers. Summon Dumbo
and other friends in battle and see for yourself.
---------------------------
Calling Summoned Characters
---------------------------
Learned summon spells can be viewed during battle by selecting the Magic
command, then selecting Summon. To summon a character, both of Sora's allies
must be conscious. You can summon them as long as there are sufficient MP.
Each summon spell can only be used once per battle. Summoned characters
provide great support in battle, both offensively and defensively.
-----------------------------
Summoned Characters In Battle
-----------------------------
There are many different summoned characters and each one performs a unique
action in battle. To my knowledge there are exactly SPOILER six summons in
total. They are, in chronological order (I think?); Simba, Genie, Bambi,
Dumbo, Tinker Bell, and Mushu. Here an example of a summon acquired in the
game.
-----
Dumbo
-----
To summon Dumbo, select his name from the summon Menu during battle. When
Dumbo appears, Sora's allies temporarily disappear. The Attack command will
change to splash while Sora and Dumbo act as one. Fighting together, they are
invulnerable to enemy attacks. Dunbo's MP gauge will be displayed in the upper
-right corner of the screen. The gauge decreases with time, and when it
reaches zero, Dumbo leaves. You can also send the firendly elephant away
sooner by selecting the Dismiss command in the Magic Menu.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
5. Abilities MAN5
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
------------------
Learning Abilities
------------------
Abilities allow you to do various things and can either be shared or
individual. Learn the abilities by clearing a stage or levelling up your
character. Shared Abilities are abilities in which the whole entire party can
use. An example is the shared ability High Jump. To equip shared abilities
onto a character, on the main menu, go to abilities and choose the ability you
wish to equip. Select the ability desired and select the equip function. To
use learned abilities, you must first equip them in the Abilities Menu. Some
abilities require Ability Points (AP) in order to be equipped. Levelling up
your characters or equipping certain items raises max AP. Some abilities
cannot be used until certain conditions are met during battle.
------------------
Types of Abilities
------------------
There are several types of abilities: those that remain active at all times,
those that become active only in battle and those that become active only
under certain conditions.

-------------------
Gummi Ship's Gauges
-------------------
Firing lasers, using a net and so forth all consume power which decreases the
gummi ship's power gauge (PWR). The armour gauge (ARM) decreases when the ship
crashes into obstacles or enemy ships, or when it is hit by enemy fire. If
then gauge reaches zero, the world selection will be displayed. The charge
gauge (CHG) will be displayed when the ship is equipped with a Haste-Gummi It
falls to zero when boosters are engaged, and then recharges over time. The
shield gauge (SHD) will be displayed when a Shield-Gummi is equipped. When the
Shield-Gummi deflects attacks, the shield gauge decreases instead of the
armour gauge. However, the armour gauge decreases if a ship equipped with only
a frontal shield takes damge from behind.
-----------------
Enemy Gummi Ships
-----------------
Some enemy gummi ships will be all too keen to attack. Evade or destroy them
as you advance. Enemy ships drop items when they are destroyed.

ŻŻŻŻŻŻ
This section is evidently the biggest part of the whole guide. In this section
I will be covering is just how to get from the very beginning of the game to
the to the end of it. This section includes strategies for all of the bosses,
item locations, trinity marks, and any other thing to do with the game. Though
I haven't included the optional bosses. I you want to fight the optional
bosses or sidequests, there are a sections on those topics further down in the
guide. And now the game begins...
When you turn on your PS2 the game will roll the usual PS2 cinematic. Then
these words will come up showing some trademark and copyright stuff that you
should not read because it is very boring and if you do read it, you are just
insane. Anyways, the Square-Enix logo will pop up and then the Start Menu will
appear. There will be a nice picture of the main character named Sora. He is
standing in the water and is eating a fish while holding a stick. He looks
like he is looking for someone. If you have time, you should wait for about a
minute and then the credits will scroll with a nice FMV. Now you can choose
whether to continue from a saved file or to start a new game. Since you
haven't started a new game yet, choose New Game. Then a dialogue box will pop
up and ask which mode would you like to play. You can choose from either
expert or normal. If you have already finished the game and you are playing
it for a second time, I suggest you give Expert mode a try because it is very
challenging. As for the first-time players out there, you should choose Normal
Mode. Then another dialogue box will appear and ask if you want to put the
vibration on or not. I suggest you put it on because it makes the game feel
more realistic. You will definately be saving and turning the power off when
you play this game so learn how to use the Load mode. Then the game will
begin...

Welcome to the game of Kingdom Hearts. At the very beginning, you will see a
very cool FMV, with a nice remix of the Kingdom Hearts theme song, Simple And
Clean. To me the FMV doesn't make much sense, but it looks very cool.Then you
will see our main character, Sora. You are on a platform of some sort and
voice will tell you what to do. Always listen to the voice because this serves
as the tutorial for the game. Firstly, you will be taught how to move so move
into the center of the platform and three weapons will appear..You will have
to choose one of the three and also choose one to lose so jump on to the
platform of the weapon you want. Your strength in the game will depend on the
items you choose. If you choose the sword, your attck will be higher. If you
choose the Staff, you will have a lot of MP and if you choose the shield your
defence will be high. If choose to lose the item, the effects will be
opposite. For Example, if you lose the sword, your attack will decrease.
Here is a table with all the possibilities:
+----------+----------+-----+-----+-----+-----+
| Keep | Lose | MP | STR | DEF | AP |
+----------+----------+-----+-----+-----+-----+
| Shield | Staff | 2 | 5 | 4 | 1 |
| Shield | Sword | 2 | 4 | 4 | 3 |
| Staff | Shield | 3 | 5 | 1 | 3 |
| Staff | Sword | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
| Sword | Shield | 2 | 6 | 1 | 3 |
| Sword | Staff | 2 | 6 | 2 | 1 |
+----------+----------+-----+-----+-----+-----+
Now you will fall on to a different platform. You will notice that you now
are holding the weapon that you chose earlier. The voice will now teach you
how to battle monsters. These monsters are referred to as the "Heartless."
This battle isn't too hard. Just use the 3-hit combo-that's when you press X
three times. Once you are done, you will go to the next platform.
You will be now on a platform with a door. On this platform you will be taught
how to examine things. So go up to the door and exmine it. Then a treasure
chest will appear. So walk up to it and open it using the same method that you
used to examine the door. Then lock on to the box and hack at it to get a
potion. Then a barrel will appear but you don't have to do anything to it. Now
go back to the door and you should be able to go through so go through it and
you'll be in the next area.
You are now on Destiny Islands now. You will now have to talk to Wakka and
Tidus who are from Final Fantasy X and also Selphie who is from Final Fantasy
VIII. The three will ask you a question. Your answer will determine how fast
you level up. If you wish to level up quickly, pick all the top answers. If
you want to level up normally, pick all the middle answers. And if you want to
level up slowly, pick all the bottom answers. The voice will then tell you
that your adventure will begin at dawn if you pick easy, midday if you pick
normal, and dusk-if you picked hard. It will then ask you if you want this.
Choose Yes, or no to go back.
You are now back in the platform place. You will be taught now how to use save
points so save because you are about to battle a boss. Then a staircase will
appear. Walk up the staircase and a HUGE monster will appear.

| Darkside is a huge black heartless.This Heartless has yellow glowing eyes |
| and has two huge fists. To defeat this boss, lock on to his right fist and|
| hack away! Darkside will usually use its Shadow Summon attack. When he |
| uses it, he digs his fists and summons a few Heartless monsters which are |
| usually Shadow Heartless. A good idea is to defeat the Shadow Heartless |
| to earn Munny balls and also experience balls. When attacking Darkside, |
| use the 3-hit combo on his fists.Darkside also uses the Heart of Darkness |
| attack. This is when it shoots shadow balls at you which home in. If you |
| can, hit them back at him and you will earn a few technique points. |
| This battle shouldn't be very hard as it will be the first time that you |
| fight Darkside-for now! |

Sora wakes up on Destiny Islands and thinks that the battle was just a dream.
He wakes up to see Kairi, one of Sora's best friends on Destiny Islands. After
Sora talks about the dream for a while and then he meets up with Riku, another
friend of Sora's. The three will then race each other on the beach. Then the
Kingdom Hearts logo will appear and the Destiny Islands logo will appear.
You will now gain control of Sora talk to Kairi who is just in front of you.
She will ask you to find some supplies for the raft. She wants you to get two
logs, a cloth and a rope. Firstly a log is near you on the beach. The second
log is on the island where Riku is. To get to the island you can go through
Seaside Shack where the save point is or swim to the ladder behind the island.
The cloth is in the big tree house. The Rope is on the same platform as Tidus
is. Once you have all the supplies, return to Kairi and she will ask if you
want to call it a day. If you say yes you can continue on with the game but if
you say no, you can battle the other people on Destiny Islands. This is a good
way to obtain easy experience. To battle them, talk to them a second time.
Here are all the people.

| Tidus uses a wooden sword-a close range weapon. The back flip swing is a |
| very powerful attack. The best way to damage Tidus is to dodge his attacks|
| and run in and attack him with the 3-hit combo. Tidus is very fast so be |
| very careful. You can block his Back Flip Swing. If you manage to do this,|
| you receive two technique points. |

| |
| They have totally ruined Wakka in this game. They've given him a Jamaican |
| voice, which sounds so crappy. Wakka is hard if you don't know his |
| weakness. Wakka seems to use his Blitzball a lot when he is far away from |
| you. This can easily be dodged. When you dodge it run in and start hacking|
| away. The problem is that Wakka can then use his Throw or Super Throw to |
| counter-attack you. When he uses Super Throw, he will shout out "Take |
| this!". If you can, deflect the ball to earn Technique points. Wakka also |
| uses the Sneak Attack. When he uses it he sneaks behind you and jumps in |
| the air and throws the ball at you. If you can deflect it and the ball |
| manages to hit Wakka, he will start to throw balls in the air and will be |
| dizzy. This is your chance to attack him, but if you know what you're |
| doing, stand back a little and deflect all of his dizzy balls. But when |
| you finish a combo, quickly run away. This battle is easy. Hard? No. |
