Things change, and both KH and KHII made me see how irritating this bloody wood is. Which is why I'm writing this. I can only escape my fear by writing an FAQ about it. Also, I haven't contributed for a while and this will be nice and short. :) Seriously though, out of the sixteen questions a year asked to me about this game, usually 52 percent of them include 100 Acre Wood in some way. The reason? Because some of it is pissing hard. And yet some of it is really easy. It's easy because its all minigames...but its hard because its all minigames. You know what I mean. I mean, Square Enix could have involved some Heartless or something or at least killed off a character or something. Thats the problem with th... (This rant did continue for about 15,345 characters, but I had to start writing so I stopped it there.) About this version ------------------ Version 1.02 (05/02/07) - Another minor spellcheck, plus I changed my email adress to the current one, added a note about PayPal donation, and another two lines to the thankees. ====================== 2. ABOUT 100 ACRE WOOD ====================== 100 Acre wood is the twisted creation of A. A. Milne, and really did contain some gems of characters. However, there was only one you could really relate too, and he's been bloody taken out of the game. So you'll just have to live with the characters included. Winnie the Pooh --------------- Voted by Cosmopolitan magazine as the most unfortunante name ever. He is the stout, slow, yellow(?) bear who is the main focus of the KH story. He seems to only care about two things: honey and eating, most of honey. Altohugh a bit lacking upstairs, he can suddenly have burst of intelligence. Summed up in one word? Dopey. Rabbit ------ One of Pooh's friends, but always seems to be iritated by him in any way. In fact, he seems to be just annoyed by default. He is pretty much the source of all of Pooh's food, as he has his own allotment and seems to excrete his own honey. Kanga and Roo ------------- Apparently there's a clever connection with their names, but I've never found it. Kanga is a mild mannered mother with the patience of a bloomin' saint. She is the mother of Roo, who wants to bounce as much as Tigger and maybe as high. What a family. Owl --- A bird of wisdom and seemingly endless anecdotes. He is the brains behind this whole operation. Altohugh I'm sure that his age would work out to about 163 in human terms. Tigger ------ The lovable elastic-tailed tiger who loves to sing, although I think he'd be good at gangster rap. He loves to bounce. His hobbies include: bouncing, trampolining, and general merriment. He is Roo's mentor. Eeyore ------ One depressed donkey. Seems to see the black side of everything. Emos should really put away all sharp objects when you first meet him. Gopher ------ Digs holes and whistles where he says the letter 'S'. Sounds a bit like the guy off CNN. Sora ---- Unbelivieable as it may sound, Sora was not actually in A. A. Milne's story. He pretty much fills in for Christopher Robin (not in this game) and leads Pooh around by grabbing is featurless hand. (Seriously though, Pooh has no fingers). The story in the books pretty much revolves around this wood which seems to be able to house animals of any eco-system (tiger, bear, and kangaroo). It is set in the various characters houses and the nearby wood, and in one instance the Spooky Cave. The story in KHII is really a page turner. Sora returns to visit his old friend Pooh after Merlin has recovered the book from somewhere. He goes in meets Pooh, then, as seems to happening a lot in this game, time stops and afterwards, Pooh has forgotton about everyone, incliding Sora. Plus, all of the Torn pages are not there! Now what? ================= 3. THE TORN PAGES ================= So all of the torn pages are missing. Plus, they found there way into chests. But they are REALLY easy to find. You could just find them on your travels if you are careful when searching for chests. So here they be (not in chronological order): Hollow Bastion - Crystal Fissure Agrabah - Ruined Chamber (after Magic Carpet) Land of Dragons - Throne Room Pride Lands - Oasis Disney Castle - Library Not too hard. Some people wait till they've got all of the pages before going to the book, however, I think you should do it one at a time. I couldn't handle it all at once... ==================== 4. THE MINIGAMES!!!! ==================== Horray! We must restore Pooh's memory through the power of minigames! 4.1 A Blustery Rescue --------------------- Story: Poor Piglet has been caught by the winds! Go and save him before he is blown away, nad collect some honey as well. What to do: Use the keyblade to break open the various objects to recieve honey orbs. After a preset course, Piglet comes into the screen and you have to save him using Triangle. If you are hit by any objects YOU MUST PRESS TRIANGLE TO SAVE POOH BEFORE YOU CAN SCORE ANY MORE. Scoring: 10 per small log 400 per large log (4 hits) 1200 per hunny pot (3 hits) Journal: Finish with 18,000 My top: 19,010 High Scoring Tips: The biggest tip is to make use of every tornado that comes, and wait until the screen is full before activating them. This does require better reactions then you think, as getting hity by anything could ruin a high scoring run. ALWAYS FAVOUR HUNNY POTS over everything, they have the lowest point/hit ratio. For a pretty much guarenteed 18,000, spot the secret tornado hidden behind the last onslaught (where LOTS of stuff falls from above). This was easily the hardest one for me, but the hidden tornado above makes it a doddle. 4.2 Hunny Slider ---------------- Story: Good ol' Pooh has gone an eaten all of Rabbits hunny, so you must go out and get some more. What to do: SLIDE! This is as simple as Jade Goody saying the alphabet. Use let and right to slide and hold square to slide left and right faster. Whenever you see a red balloon, PRESS TRIANGLE to gain an extra life. Same if you get hit by a log. Scoring: 1 per small orb 5 per normal orb 10(?) per large orb Journal: Finish with 8,000 My top: 9,003 High Scoring Tips: For extremely high scores, simply get every orb. This is honestly a cakewalk, especially in the first two scenes (forest and book-theme), slightly harder in the avalanche, and quite impossible in the last bit unless you grabbed Gopher. GOPHERS ARE NOT TRANSFERRABLE BETWEEN SCENES. 4.3 Balloon Bouncing -------------------- Story: Tigger and Roo want to do some bouncing, and Sora joins in (This plotline is thickening...) What to do: Press traingle (or circle) at the right time to bounce, and then use the ballons to get higher and higher. Balloons become smaller when a combo finishes - you have three chances for a high score. Scoring: This is a bloody pain. The scoring is NOT determined by colours or size of balloon, it is done by the combo count. Apart from the initial ballons (anything before the first greens), which give 3 points each no matter what the number of points scored per ballon increase when the number of balloons popped in a combo inscreases. (To rectify, a combo ends when you land back on the trampoline) 1-3 balloons hit: 15 points each 4-7 balloons hit: 25 points each 8-10 ballons hit: 35 points each 11-15 balloons hit: 40 points each 16-20 balloons hit: 50 points each 21-26 balloons hit: 60 points each ...and so on in that vein. This looks confusing, so here's an example. Ater the inital layer (before the first green one) you get a combo of 22 balloons befroe hitting the ground. So, you get: 15 x 3 = 45 for the first 3 balloons (1, 2, and 3) 25 x 4 = 100 for the next 4 (4, 5, 6, and 7) 35 x 3 = 105 for the next 3 (8, 9 and 10) 40 x 4 = 200 for the next 5 (11, 12, 13, 14, 15) 50 x 4 = 250 for the next 5 (16, 17, 18, 19, 20) 60 x 2 = 120 for the next 2 (21, 22) ...which equals 820. Email me and I'll give a better explanation. Journal: Finish with 4,000 My top: 4,356 High Scoring Tips: Since scores are based on combos, you'll have to stay in the air for as long as you can to net high scores. Also, DON'T BOUNCE TO THE BIGGEST BALLOON. Popping it will take balloons out and make them smaller. 5.4 The Exposition ------------------ Story: Pooh Bear has got lost in the 'maze' of the spooky cave. Go with the group and find him. What to do: Comb the spooky cave and find Pooh. Just normal controls here, use Triangle to calm the group down if the courage bar runs out. Scoring: Timed Journal: Finish within 90 seconds (1:30) My top: 83 seconds (1:23) High Scoring Tips: Just run straight for Pooh. However the 90 second aim can be harder than it looks, as the lovely group behind you can drag you back. Eeyore was giving me problems near the start. You'll know if you've lost them becuase you hear the incessent calling of 'Sora!' To stop this from happening, move a bit slower than usual, AND NEVER USE QUICK RUN. Bees only take one hit to kill as well, don't spend precious seconds comboing whne you can move on to the next set. More quick tips: jump when the ice starts to shine, to avoid falling, and if you just keep running when you see a boulder about to fall, you should just make it.

On the way to Pooh, pick up the AP BOOST 4.5 The Hunny Pot ----------------- Story: Le climax - Pooh has got his head stuck in a hunny pot and you must help him get out of it! What to do: EASY. Press X to set the power and then press X to set the direction. Obviously, higher power will acheive higher scores. Kinda like the hammer throw. Scoring: Length (metres?) Journal: Finish with 8,000 My top: 8,100ish High Scoring Tips: It should be pretty easy to get full power, its the direction that really matters. Play around with it a bit and you'll find that aiming straight forward will get 7500+, don't aim behind as you will probably hit the tree. ===================== 5. CHESTS AND WHATNOT ===================== Chests ------ Pooh's House - To the right of Pooh's house for the 100 ACRE WOOD MAP Next to that is an AP BOOST Behind Pooh's Hous is a MYTHRIL STONE Piglet's House - On a tree stump behind the house is a DEFNSE BOOST On the left side of Piglets house is an AP BOOST On a tree stump facing the house is a MYTHRIL GEM Rabbits House - Behind the clothesline at the left of the house is a DRAW RING Near the entrence to the area is a MYTHRIL CRYSTAL In the pumpkin patch is an AP BOOST Kanga's House - To the west of the house is a MAGIC BOOST To the east of it is an ORICHALCUM Head further east for an AP BOOST neart the fence. Spooky Cave - (see map above) Starrt Hill - Immediately after entering turn left for COSMIC RING Go around to the other side of the hill for the STYLE RECIPE There are twenty chests in total. You also get the keyblade SWEET MEMORIES after you complete The Expodition. Whatnots -------- I'll find some whatnots for the next update ;) ===================== 6.
