Introduction ==================================================================== Welcome to one of the more obsessive guides you'll find on GameFAQs. Kingdom Hearts has fast become one of my favorite franchises, and Kingdom Hearts 2 is everything the first game was but bigger and better. In the first game, one could unlock a secret movie (a trailer for Kingdom Hearts 2) by accomplishing certain relatively simple tasks, such as sealing all the worlds and winning the optional Hades Cup. None of it was too time-consuming, and the payoff was quite nice. In Kingdom Hearts 2, there is also a secret movie at the end awaiting those brave and/or obsessive gamers who want to satisfy its requirements. This time around, however, the requirements are far more difficult, and some might argue insane, than the original's. Like the first game, you have to seal all the worlds. Unlike the first game, you have to actually complete Jiminy's Journal. That means finding every character, beating every boss, winning every mini-game and Jiminy's special challenges for said mini-games etc. In other words, you have to do EVERYTHING in the game, making the task of seeing the secret movie an unbelievably long and arduous journey. Well, fear not. I have taken the time out of my insanely busy schedule as a college senior about to graduate (I will likely have graduated by the time this FAQ is compelete!) to present you with a walkthrough of sorts on how to fully complete Jiminy's Journal. This guide will go step by step, area by area and tell you what's available to do and in what order one gets everything. My hope is that this guide can keep you organized and relatively sane while you go about this task, as well as provide you with exactly what is required to accomplish this. A very important note. This guide is designed for Standard Mode. If you're in Beginner Mode, you can't get the secret ending no matter what. On Proud Mode, like in KH 1, you can get the secret ending simply by beating every world, including Atlantica and 100-Acre Wood. No need to complete all these objectives or meet every character or anything. Of course, Proud Mode is MUCH tougher than Standard Mode, so the challenge is roughly equivalent, but still. And finally, a word of advice. When it comes time to pick between the Sword, Staff and Shield, choose the Sword. This may not suit your style, but it makes completing the Journal much easier, as you'll see in the end. Also, I have beaten the game and completed the Journal by pretty much never casting magic except when absolutely necessary in order to advance the story. So it can be done. What this guide will NOT include: A step-by-step walkthrough of actual gameplay, except in rare circumstances, such as some of the Jiminy objectives in the mini-games The write-ups of each Jiminy Journal entry. There's already a comprehensive transcript on GameFAQs. ====================================================================== 2. Journal Categories ====================================================================== First, before we get into the actual walkthrough, let's look at exactly what the categories are that we need to complete. Most of these are self- explanatory, but still, it's good to see our goal laid out in front of us. First, in the general Collection, we have: Ansem Reports: These are the "Secret" Ansem Reports you'll collect as you go through the game. You get these through playing the game normally, so don't worry about it. I'll alert you when you get a new one. Character Files: These are all the characters you meet throughout the game. There's an Other category, and then categories for all the specific worlds. When you see Other in the guide, you now know it belongs in the Character Files category. The Heartless: Profiles of each of the types of Heartless you fight in the game. Aren't they cute? The Nobodies: Profiles of each of the types of Nobodies you fight in the game. Aren't they creepy? Treasures: A graphic checklist of all the treasures in each world. Stick with the walkthrough, and you'll know exactly what treasures are in what location and when to get them. Maps: When you get one, you'll have a radar of sorts displayed on the upper- right corner of the screen. These typically show up during normal gameplay i.e. given to you by one of the characters, so don't worry about them too much. Missions: Special objectives to complete in each world. Often, these correspond with the minigames in each world. In the normal game, one has to simply complete these and can get on with their lives. For us, though, these missions have to be completed not only several times, but with special "Jiminy objectives," which sometimes means near-impossible times or scores. Possibly the most aggravating list to complete in the game. Minigames: "Fun" games to play in several of the worlds. They typically serve as diversions, but for our purposes, they're essential parts of the game that need to be mastered. They tend to just be the scores of the missions described above, so when you try a mission, chances are you'll unlock its corresponding minigame entry. Combo Attacks: Powerful and useful combinations Sora can pull off with other party members. Stick with the walkthrough, and you'll get all of these along the way. Synthesis Notes: Like in the first game, you can synthesize items with Moogles, who now travel throughout the worlds. Also like in the first game, this can be an immensely tedious and drawn-out process. But it's an essential one for us, so brace yourself. This is a section that is very difficultto write a step by step strategy for. Instead, check out some of the other FAQ's on the site for comprehensive lists. Character Links: Wholly unnecessary to worry about as a player, these just show the connections between characters you've unlocked (in this general section, it'll only show the main characters of the game). In other words, if you've unlocked the character, you've unlocked their link to the rest of the characters. I won't be mentioning these throughout the walkthrough, as it's really a superfluous feature. And in the specific worlds, we have... Characters: A list of characters specific to each world. Keep in mind that some characters (mainly Sora, Donald and Goofy), will have entries both in the Other section and in each specific world's section. Also note that quite often characters will have duplicate entries in the same world due to some significant event that changes them during the course of the world. Story: Not something to worry about, since the story will update itself as you play through, um, the story. Just finish a world completely and the story will complete itself. I won't be reminding you of the updates here unless you complete the story. Album: Special to each world, album entries get added after significant story events. I'll tell you when each one gets added. Treasures: Just a world-specific list of treasures available. Pretty much identical to the general list above. Maps: A world-specific list of the maps available. Again, identical to the general list above. Missions: Same deal as discussed above in the general section. Not found in every world. Minigames: Same deal as discussed above in the general section. Not found in every world. Character Links: The exact same character links as the general character links described above. In other words, when you complete the character links section in the general section, you'll complete the character links in all worlds! Again, totally superfluous, so don't worry about it. So without further ado, let's begin our journey! ============================================================== 3. Prologue ============================================================== An interesting thing, the Prologue. While you keep all the Treasures you collect in the Prologue as Roxas when you begin playing as Sora, and you meet plenty of interesting characters and have an adventure worthy of an album and play mini-games, none of this gets recorded in Jiminy's Journal except for a few select things. This is understandable, due to Jiminy not being present, but still a bit strange. Nonetheless, it makes your task much easier, since all you need to do is play through the Prologue normally, without worrying about treasures or mini-games or anything. The two items that DO get recorded in the journal are the Twilight Town Map and the Mansion Map, which you get during normal gameplay. So play through the Prologue, enjoy the cool flashbacks, and feel good that you aren't missing any Jiminy stuff by not collecting treasure! So again, just to put the items that matter in the Prologue in more checklist-style writing, you get: Maps: Twilight Town Map (2nd Day), Mansion Map (6th Day) ================================================================= 4. Twilight Town ================================================================= OK, here we go. There are tons of characters and treasures to find here. Let's begin. Without doing anything, you obtain the following entries: Twilight Town- Sora, Donald Duck, Goofy Other- Sora, Donald, Goofy, Kairi, Ansem, Selphie, Jiminy Cricket, Pluto Twilight Town Album- A Message You start out at The Old Mansion. There are two treasures to collect here, a Potion and a Mythril Shard. After collecting these, leave towards the Woods... ..and end up at The Usual Spot. Huh. Here, you'll meet. Twilight Town- Pence, Hayner, Olette Now, backtrack to The Woods, the area before The Old Mansion. In the Woods, you'll find three Treasures, a Potion, Mythril Shard, and a Hi-Potion. Exit to the Tram Common. In the Tram Common, you'll find seven (!) treasures scattered around. They are a Hi-Potion, AP Boost, Tent, Mythril Shard, Potion, Mythril Shard and another Potion. Once you have all seven (you should have twelve treasures total), make your way to Central Station. At Central Station, you'll meet some interesting creatures, as well as begin a brand new category in your journal. Other: King Mickey Nobodies: Dusk, Creeper Ansem Reports: Secret Ansem Report 2 After that, there are three treasures to find in Central Station. They are a Tent, Hi-Potion and Mythril Shard. Board the train, shed a tear (awww) and head on over to The Tower. Before walking up to the door, you can get three treasures. They are a Potion, a Hi-Potion and an Ether. Now walk up to the door and meet... Other- Pete The Heartless- Shadow After that, go into The Tower. In the Tower Entryway, pick up two treasures, namely an Ether and a Mythril Shard. Now, proceed up the stairs and get ready to battle Heartless. After a couple of rooms, you meet a new (really an old one from Traverse Town, but I digress) Heartless. The Heartless- Soldier Then, after climbing to the top of this crazy tower, you meet... Twilight Town- Yen Sid diSneY (oops, did I just reveal a huge secret?!) is hanging out in the Tower: Sorcerer's Loft. Here, open the chest to find... Maps: Tower Map (Complete) Yeah, that's right. You've already found all the maps in Twilight Town and gotten a yellow Mickey symbol next to the Maps category symbolizing its completion. Congratulations! Only twenty bajillion more entries to find, and your entire journal will be filled with those yellow Mickey's! Score! But yeah, we've gotten all the Maps now, and found one more treasure. Woo- hoo! After reading the book and learning plot stuff, head on over to the Wardrobe, and collect the last Treasure you can for now, a Mythril Shard. All the Treasure icons for Twilight Town should be filled now, specifically twenty- two of them. Don't worry, there are quite a few more left in Twilight Town, but we won't get to those for some time. Now, let the fairies make you look spiffy and all, and get two rather odd journal entries along with a bunch of other ones. Other- Sora (Yes, there are two identical entries in Other for Sora, except of course for the costume change) Twilight Town- Sora (again, two identical entries!!), Flora, Fauna, Merryweather Head on outside, get in your Gummi Ship, and you're done with Twilight Town for now! When you get into the World Map, you get several journal entries, which are... Other: Maleficient Twilight Town Album: Awakening, The King's Teacher And you're done!! Nice job! So, to recap, your journal should have twenty- two treasures accounted for in Twilight Town, and the following entries (in order of getting them in the game, not how they appear in the journal): ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Collection: Ansem Reports- Secret Ansem Report 2 Other- Sora, Donald Duck, Goofy, Kairi, Ansem, Selphie, Jiminy Cricket, Pluto, King Mickey, Pete, Sora, Maleficient The Heartless: Shadow, Soldier The Nobodies: Dusk, Creeper Twilight Town: Characters- Sora, Donald Duck, Goofy, Pence, Hayner, Olette, Yen Sid, Sora, Flora, Fauna, Merryweather Album: A Message, Awakening, The King's Teacher Treasures- 22 Total Maps- Twilight Town Map, Mansion Map, Tower Map (Complete) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Phew!!! OK, on to Hollow Bastion! ============================================================= 5. Hollow Bastion ============================================================= As soon as you land, you get... Hollow Bastion- Sora, Donald Duck, Goofy Other- Moogles Yes! Moogles are back and in style! Sorry, I just love Moogles and everything about them. Head on over to the Moogle next to the Item Shop, chat with it, and you get a brand new section of Jiminy's Journal that you'll learn to love (and by love, I mean despise): Synthesis Notes. Again, there won't be a strategy here for Synthesis Notes. Check other FAQs here for good info on how to complete this part. Talk to Scrooge, and then head on over to the Borough, where you'll meet an old friend, fight some Nobodies, including one you haven't seen yet, get a map, and get a bunch of journal entries for characters you may not have even seen yet! Hollow Bastion- Yuffie, Scrooge McDuck, Huey, Dewey, Louie Nobodies- Samurai Maps: Marketplace Map Now that you're alone in the Borough, look for five treasures. They are a Drive Recovery, an AP Boost, a Hi-Potion, a Mythril Shard and a Tent. And that's it for treasures in Hollow Bastion for now! Don't worry, we'll come back later and get many more. Now, head into Merlin's House, and meet. Hollow Bastion- Leon, Cid, Aerith, Merlin Now head on down to the Bailey and prepare to get your fight on! Defeat the Nobodies and get the heck out of dodge! New worlds are indeed calling, and we're off to complete Jiminy's Journal in each. Yes! After you leave Hollow Bastion, you get some crazy new entries for your Journal. Ansem Reports- Secret Ansem Report 7 Other- Organization XIII 1, Organization XIII 2, Organization XIII 3, Organization XIII 7, Organization XIII 9, Organization XIII 10 Hollow Bastion Album- The Committee, Organization XIII, The Journey Begins After Hollow Bastion, you should have the following new entries: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Collection: Ansem Reports- Secret Ansem Report 7 Other- Moogles, Organization XIII 1, Organization XIII 2, Organization XIII 3, Organization XIII 7, Organization XIII 9, Organization XIII 10 The Nobodies- Samurai Hollow Bastion: Characters- Sora, Donald, Goofy, Yuffie, Scrooge McDuck, Huey, Dewey, Louie, Leon, Cid, Aerith, Merlin Album- The Committee, Organization XIII, The Journey Begins Treasures- Five total Maps- Marketplace Map ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Now we're into the real heart of the game, opening pathways and saving worlds. Let's head on over to the Land of Dragons first via Asteroid Sweep. ============================================================= 6. Land of Dragons ============================================================= Upon landing, you get some character entries. Land of Dragons- Sora, Donald Duck, Goofy, Ping, Mushu Also, you're in the Bamboo Grove, so collect the three treasures. They are a Hi-Potion, an Ether, and a Mythril Shard. Now head on over and chat with Mul... I mean Ping and Mushu. After a fun reunion, get on over to the Encampment. After some scenes, you'll have to battle some Heartless, including a new one. Heartless- Nightwalker After some scenes, you'll get some more characters and a map. Land of Dragons- Captain Li Shang, Yao, Chien-Po, Ling Maps- Encampment Area Map Now go chat with the Cap'n, and he'll send you off on missions. I won't give you strategy, but stay alert during the second mission, the ambush. Here, you'll meet a painful new Heartless... Heartless- Assault Rider Finish up the missions, and you get sent towards the mountain village on a mission. Time for a hike! Don't worry, you should have time to collect the treasures during this. Head on over to the Checkpoint, and collect the two treasures there. They consist of a Hi-Potion and a Mythril Shard. Now head up to the Mountain Trail. There, you'll find four treasures. These can be somewhat hard to pick up in the heat of battle, but I have faith that you can do it. They include a Hi-Potion, Recovery Recipe, Ether, and a Mythril Shard. If you don't want to get these now, feel free to come back later; I'll point out when you can. Now, get to the Village, hear Mushu's crazy plan to defeat Shan-Yu, and head on towards the cave. You'll get a Map for your troubles. Maps- Village Area Map Enter the Village Cave and prepare for a crazy battle. Once you've beaten that, collect the two treasures inside. They are an AP Boost and a Hi- Potion. Now, get out of the Cave, and get ready to head on up the mountain! Do so, and meet a new Heartless on the Ridge. Heartless- Rapid Thrusters After you foil Shan-Yu, Mushu messes up big time, you get Mulan in your party, and you get some new characters, as well as a new Heartless entry. Land of Dragons- Mulan, Shan-Yu Heartless- Bolt Tower Now you get to begin the long trek down the mountain. First, collect the two treasures on the Ridge. They are a Hi-Potion and an AP Boost. And with those two collected, if you were good enough to collect the treasures on your way up the mountain, you have all the treasures that you can currently get in the Land of Dragons. If you don't have all of them, head on down the mountain and collect the treasures you skipped now. You should have 13 total. Good job! As you walk down the mountain, you'll have to fight some Heartless. Take this opportunity to use the Reaction Commands to create a Combo Attack with Mulan. Don't worry, it's painfully obvious what to do in-game. When you successfully pull off a Combo, you get a whole new section of your Journal! Combo Attacks- Mulan/Dragonblaze So, there are no new journal entries until you beat the world. Since I'm not giving gameplay strategy here, you're on your own. Have fun. I should point out that I actually died fighting Shan-Yu the first time, but Mickey saved me! Good times. OK, now that you've saved the world from Shan-Yu and met the Emperor, you're outta here! On the World Map, you get some new entries. Land of Dragons- The Emperor Album- Mushu and Ping, Avalanche!, Mulan Revealed, China's Bravest So, to sum up... ---------------------------------------------------------- Collection: The Heartless- Nightwalker, Assault Rider, Rapid Thrusters, Bolt Tower Combo Attacks- Mulan/Dragonblaze Land of Dragons: Characters- Sora, Donald Duck, Goofy, Ping, Mushu, Captain Li Shang, Yao, Chien-Po, Ling, Mulan, Shan-Yu, The Emperor Album: Mushu and Ping, Avalanche!, Mulan Revealed, China's Bravest Treasures- 13 Total Maps: Encampment Area Map, Village Area Map ----------------------------------------------------------------------- All right, let's head on over to Beast's Castle, a rather nice recreation of Beauty and the Beast. Get there via Stardust Sweep. ================================================================== 7. Beast's Castle ================================================================== You start off by entering the Parlor, and getting into a fun battle. Once the Beast saves your tail (even though as usual when characters "save" you in Kingdom Hearts, you're doing perfectly fine in battle; I guess Sora and company get lazy), you get some entries. Beast's Castle- Sora, Donald Duck, Goofy, The Beast Get out of the Parlor and into the Entry Hall. Amongst the Heartless you'll fight here is a new one. Heartless- Hook Bat Ignoring Donald, run out the front door and into the Courtyard. Here, you'll find three treasures. They are an AP Boost, a Hi-Potion, and a Mythril Shard. Run back inside and head up the stairs and to the right. You'll rather ungracefully break into Belle's room, and naturally you'll meet her. Beast's Castle- Belle In Belle's Room, there are two treasures. One is a Mythril Shard and the other is the Castle Map! Maps- Castle Map Now exit Belle's Room into The East Wing. Here, you'll find two treasures. There is a Hi-Potion and a Tent. You'll also encounter a new (again, really an old) Heartless. Heartless- Large Body Head on over to the other side of the stairs to enter The West Hall. Here's the first time the treasure chest situation will be less than straightforward. There are six treasures here, but only five you can actually get at the moment. I'd recommend waiting for now. While getting the chests now is easy with no Heartless, it'll be needlessly complicated for the sake of the guide. If you want to get the five available ones now, be my guest (notice the clever reference!). I'll list them when you can get them all at once. For now, move the Wardrobe and meet her. Beast's Castle- Wardrobe Now go inside to the Undercroft and prepare for a rather frightening battle. Defeat the evil door guardians and get a slew of new Heartless entries. Heartless- Gargoyle Knight, Gargoyle Warrior, Thresholder, Possessor Now get inside the Dungeon and meet the Beast's servants. Interesting voice acting selection here; a strange mix of new guys and the originals. Quite good overall though. Once you've met all of them, you get their entries. Beast's Castle- Cogsworth, Lumiere, Mrs. Potts, Chip Also here, you can get two treasures. They are an AP Boost and the Basement Map! Maps- Basement Map Now, jump up, let the soldiers clear the way, and head to the Secret Passage. Here, both light the lanterns and collect the treasure. The treasure is made up of a Mythril Shard, a Hi-Potion and a Mega Potion. You exit in a new area of The West Hall, in front of the treasure you couldn't get before. We still can't get all at once, though, so ignore it for now. Moving on to the West Wing, collect the treasure. We have a Mythril Shard and a Tent. Enter the Beast's Room and get into a strange "battle" with The Beast. After some plot, you get some entries. Beast's Castle- The Beast, Xaldin Now that you're in the Beast's Room, collect the treasure. The only one here is a Mega-Recipe. Now head on out to The West Wing. Here, do the Combo move with Beast to get a journal entry. Combo Attacks- Beast/Howling Moon Now exit to The West Hall, where you can finally get all of the treasures here. They consist of a Hi-Potion, two Mythril Shards, Drive Recovery, an AP Boost and a Tent. By collecting these treasures, you have found all the treasures in Beast's Castle. Yes! You should have 21 total and the yellow Mickey next to the Treasures section of Beast's Castle. Now get on back to the Entrance Hall. Here, you'll find a new Heartless. Heartless- Lance Soldier There are no more journal entries until you complete the world, so go ahead. I must say, the boss battle of this world is really creepy. Nice design, guys. Once you complete the world, you actually get magically whisked away to Hollow Bastion, so before we check our new journal entries, let's move there! Hollow Bastion: Merlin found 100 Acre Wood! Yee-haw! Before we go there, though, we have to check our journal and do a recap. For saving Beast's Castle, you get... Heartless- Shadow Stalker, Dark Thorn Album- Reunion with Beast, The Castle Secret, The Beast Deceived, Ballroom Battle And here's a recap of everything added from Beast's Castle. ----------------------------------------------------- Collection: The Heartless- Hook Bat, Large Body, Gargoyle Knight, Gargoyle Warrior, Thresholder, Possessor, Lance Soldier, Shadow Stalker, Dark Thorn Combo Attacks- Beast/Howling Moon Beast's Castle: Characters- Sora, Donald Duck, Goofy, The Beast, The Wardrobe, Cogsworth, Lumiere, Mrs. Potts, Chip, The Beast, Xaldin Album- Reunion with Beast, The Castle Secret, The Beast Deceived, Ballroom Battle Treasures- 21 Total (Complete) Maps- Castle Map, Basement Map ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Now let's head into 100 Acre Wood! ============================================================== 8. 100 Acre Wood- Pooh's Howze ============================================================== This is the first time that we've been able to go back to worlds that have new episodes or minigames available. There will be quite a few times when we can do this, and I'll give a recap of the new entries you get from all the worlds you visit before continuing the storyline. Anyhow, when you enter the book for the first time, you'll get... 100 Acre Wood- Sora Now, head on over to Pooh's Howze, and meet... 100 Acre Wood- Winnie the Pooh Run around and collect the treasures first. They are the 100 Acre Wood Map, an AP Boost and a Mythril Stone. From those, you of course get... Maps- 100 Acre Wood Map Now get booted out of the book, fight some Heartless and discover what happens when you rip pages out of a book with living creatures in it! At least Pooh can still perform the coolest stoutness exercises ever! Well, there's not much we can do for now in 100 Acre Wood, so get out of the book. Before you get back into your Gummi Ship, Merlin gives you a rather nice prize: the summon Chicken Little! Fairly random, but quite nice. Now, trust me here and land back at Hollow Bastion. There are a couple of new things we can do. Hollow Bastion: Land at Merlin's House and head on outside. Now, as soon as you see enemies, summon Chicken Little and use his Limit, FPS Mode. After all the enemies are defeated, you get credit for using Chicken Little's Limit. Combo Attacks- Chicken Little/FPS Mode Now head to the Marketplace and speak with Scrooge. He has a rather idiotic mini-game for you to play involving a skateboard. This is the first of many skateboarding mini-games, and is by far the easiest (even though they're all quite simple). Simply mess around for a while and get over 200 points to complete this mini-game and Jiminy's objective for it as well. Actually, by completing this mini-game, you complete all the mini-games in Hollow Bastion. Good deal! Minigames- SB Freestyle (Complete) Now, we can head to our next destination, the Olympus Coliseum. Let's recap first... ------------------------------------------------------------- Collection: Combo Attacks- Chicken Little/FPS Mode 100 Acre Wood: Characters- Sora, Winnie the Pooh Treasures- 3 Total Maps- 100 Acre Wood Map Hollow Bastion: Minigames- SB Freestyle (Complete) -------------------------------------------------------------- Get to Olympus Coliseum through Phantom Storm. ============================================================== 9. Olympus Coliseum ============================================================== As soon as you land (in the Underworld!), you'll get... Olympus Coliseum- Sora, Donald, Goofy Head up to Meg and hear her spiel, bravely offering to go into the Underworld instead. Afterwards, you get... Olympus Coliseum- Megara Head on in, and almost immediately meet a new Heartless. Heartless- Rabid Dog Now, get to the Cave of the Dead: Passage. There are five treasures here. They include a Mythril Shard, a Mythril Stone, an Ether, an AP Boost, and a Hi-Potion. After that, fight your way to the Cave of the Dead: Inner Chamber. Here, you'll find two treasures. They are the Underworld Map and a Mythril Shard. Maps- Underworld Map Head on into the Valley of the Dead. On your way upwards, you'll battle a new Heartless. Heartless- Creeper Plant Now you get to "battle" Hades (he's invincible) and meet one of the coolest characters from Final Fantasy X, Auron. On the way back down the Valley of the Dead, use Auron's Limit. When you finally get to the bottom and through the door, take a breath and check out your new journal entries. Olympus Coliseum- Auron, Pain, Panic, Hades, Pete Combo Attacks- Auron/Overdrive Now get back to the Underworld Entrance and defeat Cerberus. After Cerberus's end, you get his entry. Olympus Coliseum- Cerberus Head on up to the Coliseum Gates, and meet Hercules, who'll give you a map. Olympus Coliseum- Hercules Maps- Coliseum Map Head into the Coliseum and speak with Phil. Olympus Coliseum- Philoctetes Now complete his training, and you get a cutscene in which you meet my favorite character from Hercules... Olympus Coliseum- Pegasus Head back to the Underworld Entrance, where a new path and a new treasure is open to you. The treasure is a Power Boost. Now head into the Underworld Caverns: Entrance. Here, you'll battle a new Heartless. Heartless- Trick Ghost Now we get to a tricky treasure room. You can get all the treasures here, but you have to exit the area and go around to the Underworld Caverns: Entrance other, um, entrance. The three treasures are a Hi-Potion, an AP Boost, and a Mythril Shard. After getting all the chests, go to the Underworld Caverns: Lost Road and collect the four treasure chests scattered throughout the area. They are a Hi-Potion, an Ether, a Mythril Shard, and a Mythril Stone. Get to the Underworld Caverns: Atrium, and again collect the two treasures. They include a Tent and an AP Boost. Now run to the door and fight in your first Organization XIII battle as Sora! Defeat the pansy, and get a couple of entries. Ansem Reports- Secret Ansem Report 5 Other- Demyx Olympus Coliseum- Demyx Now go through the door into The Lock. Here, collect the three treasures. They include the Caverns Map, a Mythril Shard, and an AP Boost. With these treasures, you've collected all the treasures in Olympus Coliseum! You should have twenty total. You've also gotten all the maps! Maps- Caverns Map (Complete) Now defeat Pete and get to the entrance, where you enter into my favorite boss battle in the game, the battle against the Hydra. It's just plain fun and exciting, and not challenging in the least! You'll open a new pathway and get the heck out of dodge! You get the following new entries after beating the Hydra. Olympus Coliseum- Hercules, The Hydra Album- Auron vs. Hades, Heroic Reunion, Megara the Captive, Destroyed Coliseum Now land back on Olympus Coliseum, at the Coliseum Gates. We need to try out some missions that have opened up. Go to Phil and do his training again. You'll only be able to try both practice and maniac mode. Getting 1000 points in maniac mode won't happen for a long, long time. Missions- Phil's Training: Try Practice Mode, Try Maniac Mode Now, depart and head for Disney Castle! First, a recap... ------------------------------------------------------------ Collection: Ansem Reports- Secret Ansem Report 5 Other- Demyx The Heartless- Rabid Dog, Creeper Plant, Trick Ghost Combo Attacks- Auron/Overdrive Olympus Coliseum: Characters- Sora, Donald Duck, Goofy, Megara, Auron, Pain, Panic, Hades, Pete, Cerberus, Hercules, Philoctetes, Pegasus, Demyx, Hercules, The Hydra Album- Auron vs. Hades, Heroic Reunion, Megara the Captive, Destroyed Coliseum Treasures- 20 Total (Complete) Maps- Underworld Map, Coliseum Map, Caverns Map (Complete) Missions- Phil's Training: Try Practice Mode, Try Maniac Mode Minigames- Phil's Training -------------------------------------------------------------- Get to Disney Castle, by far the shortest world in the game! ============================================================= 10. Disney Castle ============================================================= Once you land, you get... Disney Castle- Sora, Donald Duck, Goofy, Chip, Dale Exit the hangar into the awesome courtyard, where you'll find a grand total of seven treasure chests. They include a Mythril Shard, the Star Recipe, an AP Boost, a Mythril Stone, an Ether, a Hi-Potion and a Mythril Shard. You'll also battle an annoying new Heartless. Heartless- Minute Bomb Now battle your way to the Library, where you can find a rather excellent treasure: Torn Pages for 100 Acre Wood! This also completes the treasure collecting in Disney Castle! After speaking with Queen Minnie, you get a couple of new entries... Disney Castle- Queen Minnie, Brooms Maps- Disney Castle Map (Complete) After the escort and Cornerstone business, head through the door into a new world! ========================================================== 11. Timeless River ========================================================== Oh man, Steamboat Willie land! Yes! After a long cutscene, you get some entries... Timeless River- Sora, Donald Duck, Goofy, Pete(?), Clarabelle Cow, Clara Cluck Now, collect the two treasures here in Cornerstone Hill. They include the Cornerstone Hill Map and a Drive Recovery. Maps- Cornerstone Hill Map Head down to the Pier and collect the two treasures here. They include a Mythril Shard and a Hi-Potion. Now "punish" (!) Pete, and get back to Cornerstone Hill, where you'll have a strange vision of the future Pete. After that, for no apparent reason, you meet a new character... Timeless River- Horace Horsecollar Now tackle the doors from left to right. After the scaffolding adventure, you get some new entries... Timeless River- King Mickey(?), Maleficient Heartless- Hammer Frame Go through the second door, save Lilliput, and fight a new Heartless. Heartless- Aeroplane You know the drill. Third door, new Heartless (really evil new Heartless!). Heartless- Hot Rod Finally, go through the fourth door, save Mickey's furniture, get a solid handshake, and learn the truth. After this, you get the rest of the character entries for Timeless River. You also get the last map for Timeless River. Timeless River- Pete, King Mickey, Pete (Complete) Maps- Window of Time Map (Complete) Now go to the Waterway, defeat Pete and then collect all the treasures. They consist of a Mythril Stone, an AP Boost, and a Hi-Potion. That's all the treasures in Timeless River! You should have seven total. Now go to the Wharf, defeat Pete in a really neat boss battle, and restore the Cornerstone! After you get back to the Gummi Ship, a ton of awesome things happen! First off, you've completed the worlds of Disney Castle and Timeless River by obtaining the following entries... Disney Castle: Daisy Duck (Complete) Album- Disney Castle, Meeting the Queen, The Cornerstone, Peace Returns (Complete) Timeless River: Story- Complete Album- Pete?, The King?, Pete and Repete, All Aboard! (Complete) That's right, you never have to go back to either! You can also go to 100 Acre Wood with your new Torn Pages, head over to Atlantica, and there's a Cup open at the Coliseum!! For now, let's recap... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Collection: The Heartless- Minute Bomb, Hammer Frame, Aeroplane, Hot Rod Disney Castle (Complete): Characters- Sora, Donald Duck, Goofy, Chip, Dale, Queen Minnie, Brooms, Daisy Duck (Complete) Story- Complete Album- Disney Castle, Meeting the Queen, The Cornerstone, Peace Returns (Complete) Treasures- 8 Total (Complete) Maps- Disney Castle Map (Complete) Timeless River (Complete): Characters- Sora, Donald Duck, Goofy, Pete(?), Clarabelle Cow, Clara Cluck, Horace Horsecollar, King Mickey(?), Maleficient, Pete, King Mickey, Pete (Complete) Story- Complete Album- Pete?, The King?, Pete and Repete, All Aboard! (Complete) Treasures- 7 Total (Complete) Maps- Cornerstone Hill Map, Window of Time Map (Complete) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- And yes, I know that the worlds aren't technically complete because you haven't finished Character Links yet. It won't be until the very end of the game that you do so, and the character links have nothing to do with most of the individual worlds anyways, so I'm considering a world complete if everything's finished except Character Links. =============================================================== 12. 100 Acre Wood- Piglet's House/ Atlantica- Swim This Way =============================================================== Now, you have many options open to you. That's right, it's sidequest time! Let's check out 100 Acre Wood first. Go back to Hollow Bastion, land in Merlin's House and enter the book. Piglet's House appears. Go there, and meet two new characters. 100 Acre Wood- Piglet, Gopher Now collect the three treasures in the area. They are a Defense Boost, an AP Boost and a Mythril Gem. Now go to Piglet and help out. After the fun mini- game, you leave the book and get another character. 100 Acre Wood- Owl Now jump right back in and play the Blustery Rescue game again. You have to pretty much get all the hunny in the game, but it's not too tough and it's fun! Do that and depart. Missions- A Blustery Rescue: Try Again, Finish With A Score of 18,000 Or More Now get on over to Olympus Coliseum. There, the Pain and Panic Cup has opened. If you're Level 20, try it out. I was able to win on my first try, but it's not necessary. My general rule for these cups is to try them as soon as they open up, and then complete the second objective when the next one opens up. If that's unclear, it will all make sense soon, when the next cup opens. For now, fight in the Pain and Panic Cup once and get out of there. Olympus Coliseum: Missions- The Underdrome: Pain and Panic Cup: Give It A Try Lastly, head over to Atlantica via Splash Island. Oh man, Atlantica. You will not believe how long this will take you to complete. You will also not believe how easy it is to complete everything here. Finally, you will not believe how simultaneously annoying and adorable this world is. Anyhow, land, learn how to swim (much better controls than the first one, in my humble opinion) and get some new entries, as well as the one and only map... Atlantica- Sora, Donald Duck, Goofy, Ariel, Sebastian, Flounder Maps- Undersea Kingdom Map (Complete) Now talk to Sebastian, and perform an absolutely horrible new song called Swim This Way. Don't worry, it's by far the worst song you'll have to endure here (even though the last song gives it a run for its money). After the song, you get new entries... Atlantica- King Triton, Prince Eric Now, I know you'll hate me forever for saying this, but turn around and land back on Atlantica. That's right, we have to perform the song again. Just get through it and take comfort in the fact that it's over. For now. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Excellent tip from Falcon: In the annoying Atlantica stage they don't give any score requirements on the Perform "" again missions. Because of this all you need to do is start the musical and quit it right when it starts (start then quit). You can avoid doing all the musicals again this way. I am sure it works on any of the Atlantica songs and will probably work on any "Give it a try" or "try again", but everything else has a point requirement so it is only helpful on Atlantica. Keep up the good work on the walkthrough. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Missions- A Musical Challenge: Perform Swim This Way Again (Complete) Head out and prepare for probably the best graphics (and best voice replacements for the actual actors) in the series. That's right, we're going to Port Royal! Before we do, as always, a recap... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 100 Acre Wood: Characters- Piglet, Gopher, Owl Treasures- 6 Total Missions- A Blustery Rescue: Try Again, Finish With A Score of 18,000 Or More Olympus Coliseum: Missions- The Underdrome: Pain and Panic Cup: Give It A Try Atlantica: Characters- Sora, Donald Duck, Goofy, Ariel, Sebastian, Flounder, King Triton, Prince Eric Maps- Undersea Kingdom Map (Complete) Missions- A Musical Challenge: Perform Swim This Way Again ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Go to Port Royal via Floating Island. ========================================================== 13. Port Royal ========================================================== Upon landing, get some entries... Port Royal- Sora, Donald Duck, Goofy In this initial area, the Rampart, you can get three treasures. They consist of the Naval Map, a Mythril Stone, and an Ether. Maps- Naval Map Head down the stairs, and encounter the first of the annoying yet entertaining to battle undead pirates. After defeating them, you get some entries... Port Royal- Captain Barbossa, Undead Pirate A, Undead Pirate B, Undead Pirate C, Pete Now head into Town, and meet... Port Royal- Will Turner, Elizabeth Swann Man, Crispin Freeman does an amazing job imitating Orlando Bloom! Kudos to him. Anyhow, while defending Will, you'll meet a new Heartless. Heartless- Cannon Gun Now, collect the four treasures around Town. Some are behind destructible walls. They are an Ether, an AP Boost, a Mythril Shard and a Mythril Gem. Then, head down to the Harbor, and meet... Port Royal- Captain Jack Sparrow Again, kudos to James Arnold Taylor for his imitation of Johnny Depp! Now head back into Town and battle some Heartless and use Jack Sparrow's Limit. This gets you... Combo Attacks- Jack Sparrow/Treasure Isle Now set sail and make it to the Isle de Muerta. Head to the Isle de Muerta: Cave Mouth and get the two treasures. There is an Ether and a Mythril Shard. You'll also fight a new Heartless here. Heartless- Air Pirate Keep going, and after you pass the minute "challenge," you get the Isle de Muerta Map. Maps- Isle de Muerta Map After a bunch of ridiculous challenges, you end up back on the Isle de Muerta. Now, go in the same direction you were going before until you get to the Isle de Muerta: Powder Store area. Collect the two treasures here. They are both AP Boosts. Keep going and in the Isle de Muerta: Moonlight Nook area, collect three treasures. There is a Mythril Shard, an Ether and a Mega-Potion. These are all the treasures you can collect here for now. You should have fourteen total. Now win the annoying boss battle, and see the end of the movie, more or less. When back on the Gummi Ship, you get some new entries... Heartless- Illuminator Album- Steadfast Friends, The Undead Curse, A Close Call, Lifting the Curse Now head back to Port Royal and land on the Rampart. Talk to Will here and play SB Time Attack! Yeah, there's a skateboarding game in Port Royal. I don't get it, either. This is a checkpoint race, and you'll likely beat it with the Jiminy objective without trying. So do so. That's the one and only mission and minigame in Port Royal, so you complete those categories. Missions- SB Time Attack: Give It a Try, Finish Within 40 Seconds (Complete) Now make sure you have Goofy's new ability equipped, Teamwork. Head into Town and battle some Heartless and use Goofy's Limit. Combo Attacks- Goofy/Teamwork That's what we can do here for now. Head back to the Gummi Ship. Let's recap... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Collection: The Heartless- Cannon Gun, Air Pirate, Illuminator Combo Attacks- Jack Sparrow/Treasure Isle, Goofy/Teamwork Port Royal: Characters- Sora, Donald Duck, Goofy, Captain Barbossa, Undead Pirate A, Undead Pirate B, Undead Pirate C, Pete, Will Turner, Elizabeth Swann, Captain Jack Sparrow Album- Steadfast Friends, The Undead Curse, A Close Call, Lifting the Curse Treasures- 14 Total Maps- Naval Map, Isla de Muerta Map Missions- SB Time Attack: Give It a Try, Finish Within 40 Seconds (Complete) Minigames- SB Time Attack (Complete) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Get on over to Agrabah via Ancient Highway. ============================================== 14. Agrabah ============================================== After some battling and cutscenes, you get a bunch of new entries... Agrabah- Sora, Donald Duck, Goofy, Iago Maps- Agrabah Map Heartless- Luna Bandit Now get out of the room and out into the vast area of Agrabah. You can get all seven treasures here with minimal effort now, so do so. They include a Drive Recovery, a Mythril Shard, a Hi-Potion, an AP Boost, a Mythril Stone, a Mythril Shard and a Mega-Ether. Now, get to the Palace, and meet some old and new friends. Agrabah- Aladdin, Abu, Princess Jasmine, The Peddler Now go back through Agrabah and you'll encounter another new Heartless. Also, while you battle through Agrabah, use Aladdin's Limit. Heartless- Silver Rock Combo Attacks- Aladdin/Trick Fantasy Get on over to the Bazaar and collect the five treasures here. They include a Mythril Gem, a Hi-Potion, another Hi-Potion, an AP Boost, and a Mythril Shard. One of these is extremely annoying to get; it's in the middle of a stand only destructible by casting fire on it. Nice design there, guys! Actually, there's a chance that several will be like this. Just be aware. You'll also face a new (and by new, I mean annoying old) Heartless. Heartless- Fat Bandit Now go to the Palace Walls and get the two treasures here. They are a Skill Ring and a Mythril Stone. Now go to the Cave of Wonders: Entrance and collect the two treasures here. They are a Drive Recovery and a Mythril Shard. Head inside to the Cave of Wonders: Valley of Stone. Collect the four treasures here. There is a Mythril Stone, an AP Boost, a Mythril Shard, and a Hi-Potion. You'll also battle new Heartless here. Heartless- Fortuneteller, Fiery Globe Now get to the Chasm of Challenges and get to the bottom (it's really fun!). During the battles, you'll fight a new Heartless yet again. Heartless- Icy Cube At the bottom, collect the two treasures. They are the Cave of Wonders Map and an AP Boost. Maps- Cave of Wonders Map Now continue and get taken back to Agrabah. Now, you could go back and get some treasure in the Cave of Wonders we had to miss, but let's wait and beat the world first. So go to the Palace and beat the boss. When you go back to the Gummi Ship, you get several new entries... Agrabah- The Magic Carpet, Genie Album- The Lamp Thief, Quest for Treasure, Ordeals Overcome, Bottled Up Heartless- Volcanic Lord, Blizzard Lord Now go back to Agrabah. There's a bunch we can do. Land in the Peddler's Shop and speak to him. You guessed it, another skateboard "challenge." This one is called SB Sand Slider. Again, you'll probably get the Jiminy objective without trying. Missions- SB Sand Slider: Give it a Try, Finish with 10 or More Points Now, get to an area with enemies, and summon Genie. Genie is unlike every Summon in that his combo attacks correspond to Sora's various forms. So he actually has four combo attacks, one for each form. For now, you have Valor and Wisdom Form. So, have Genie change into both Valor Genie and Wisdom Genie and perform his Limit with both. Combo Attacks- Valor Genie/Sonic Rave, Wisdom Genie/Strike Raid Now head back to the Cave of Wonders: Chasm of Challenges and win the challenge again. This is actually an "Event Quest," and counts as a mission. Missions- Redo the Cave of Wonders: Chasm of Challenges Go to the Cave of Wonders: Treasure Room, and get the two treasures there. They are an AP Boost and a Serenity Shard. That's all the treasures you can get here for now. You should have twenty total. Now, depart Agrabah! Let's recap... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Collection: The Heartless- Luna Bandit, Silver Rock, Fat Bandit, Fortuneteller, Fiery Globe, Icy Cube, Volcanic Lord, Blizzard Lord Combo Attacks- Aladdin/Trick Fantasy, Valor Genie/Sonic Rave, Wisdom Genie/Strike Raid Agrabah: Characters- Sora, Donald Duck, Goofy, Iago, Aladdin, Abu, Princess Jasmine, The Peddler, The Magic Carpet, Genie Album- The Lamp Thief, Quest for Treasure, Ordeals Overcome, Bottled Up Treasures- 20 Total Maps- Agrabah Map, Cave of Wonders Map Missions- SB Sand Slider: Give It a Try, Finish with 10 or More Points Redo the Cave of Wonders: Chasm of Challenges Minigames- SB Sand Slider -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now, shockingly, Twilight Town shows up again. Trust me, we can't handle Twilight Town yet. Besides, there are some great new worlds to check out. Head for Halloween Town via Broken Highway. =============================================================== 15. Halloween Town/Atlantica- Part of Your World =============================================================== Upon landing, you get some entries... Halloween Town- Sora, Donald Duck, Goofy, Zero In the Graveyard, where you start out, get the two treasures. They are a Hi- Potion and a Mythril Shard. Now go into town and experience some great cutscenes. After them, you get some entries... Halloween Town- Jack Skellington, Sally, Dr. Finkelstein, Lock, Shock, Barrel, Reindeer In Dr. Finkelstein's Lab, take the one treasure, which is the Halloween Town Map. Maps- Halloween Town Map Now go out to the Town Square, and battle some Heartless, including a new (old) one. You'll also get some new character entries. During the battle, also try to use Jack's Limit. Halloween Town- The Mayor, Bathtub Heartless- Wight Knight Combo Attacks- Jack/Applause, Applause Now, pick up the two treasures in the Town Square. They include a Mythril Stone and a Mega-Potion. Go back to the Graveyard and fight a new Heartless. Heartless- Driller Mole Get to the Hinterlands, and get the three treasures here. They include a Hi- Potion, a Mythril Stone and an AP Boost. Now go to Christmas Town, and get down to Candy Cane Lane. Here, battle another new Heartless. Heartless- Toy Soldier Afterwards, pick up the four treasures here. They are a Hi-Potion, a Mythril Gem, an Ether, and a Mythril Stone. Now go into Santa's House, and meet the man, the myth, the legend himself. Halloween Town- Santa Claus Afterwards, pick up the two treasures here. They consist of the Christmas Town Map and an AP Boost. Doing this gives you all the treasures in Halloween Town and all the maps! You should have fourteen treasures total. Maps- Christmas Town Map (Complete) After going outside and tracking the footprints to the Hinterlands, you get some new character entries. Halloween Town- Oogie Boogie, Maleficient In the Hinterlands, you'll also battle a new Heartless. Heartless- Emerald Blues Head to the Curly Hill from the Graveyard, and defeat the... Heartless- Prison Keeper Now defeat Oogie Boogie, and get off the world. You get some entries for completing the world. Halloween Town- Jack Skellington Album- Merry...Halloween?, Sandy Claws, Oogie's Back, Santa Jack Now, of course, return to the world. There's a mission we can do. Get to Yuletide Hill and talk to Lock. He'll tell you about, sigh, a skateboard in Santa's Workshop. Yet again, you should be able to beat the Jiminy objective here no problem. Missions- SB Workshop Rave: Give it a Try, Finish with 1,000 or More Points And that's it! Now, guess where we can go again? That's right, Atlantica! Head on over and show that statue who's boss! This prompts the next song, the classic Part of Your World. Beat it for the story, and then go to the green musical orb and play it again. Missions- A Musical Challenge: Perform Part of Your World Again Apparently, our three heroes can't read music! Huh. We'll come back when they have more experience. Now, for the recap... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Collection: The Heartless: Wight Knight, Driller Mole, Toy Soldier, Emerald Blues, Prison Keeper Combo Attacks- Jack/Applause, Applause Halloween Town: Characters- Sora, Donald Duck, Goofy, Zero, Jack Skellington, Sally, Dr. Finkelstein, Lock, Shock, Barrel, Reindeer, The Mayor, Bathtub, Santa Claus, Oogie Boogie, Maleficient, Jack Skellington Album- Merry...Halloween?, Sandy Claws, Oogie's Back, Santa Jack Treasures- 14 Total (Complete) Maps- Halloween Town Map, Christmas Town Map (Complete) Missions- SB Workshop Rave: Give It a Try, Finish with 1,000 or More Points Minigames- SB Workshop Rave Atlantica: Missions- A Musical Challenge: Perform Part of your World Again -------------------------------------------------------------------------- All right, let's go to the Pride Lands! Just a nitpick, but does anyone else find it extremely strange that the world is called The Pride "Lands," but the logo of the world says "Pride Land?" Anyways, get there via Sunlight Storm. =========================================================== 16. Pride Lands =========================================================== After narrowly escaping being eaten, you get some entries. Pride Lands- Sora, Donald Duck, Goofy, Shenzai, Banzai, Ed Oh man, Sora is ridiculously cute here! It's also plain fun to be a lion. Anyways, you're in the Gorge when you start out, so collect the three treasures here (represented as fruit here). They are the Savannah Map, an Ether, and a Mythril Stone. Maps- Savannah Map Go to the Elephant Graveyard and rescue... Pride Lands- Nala In the Elephant Graveyard, collect the five treasures. They consist of a Hi- Potion, a Mythril Stone, an Ether, an AP Boost and a Mythril Shard. You'll also fight two new Heartless in the Elephant Graveyard. One of them is quite evil. Heartless- Living Bone, Aerial Knocker Now get to Pride Rock and meet... Pride Lands- Rafiki Now, collect the three treasures in Pride Rock. They are the Pride Rock Map, a Mythril Stone and a Mega-Ether. Maps- Pride Rock Map Now head towards the Savannah. You'll encounter... Pride Lands- Scar, Pete Get to the Wildebeest Valley and collect the five treasures here. They are a Hi-Potion, an AP Boost, a Mythril Gem, a Mythril Stone and a Tent. Head on through to the Wastelands, which have three treasures you should collect. They include a Mythril Shard, a Hi-Potion and a Mythril Stone. Get through the Wastelands to the Jungle, which also has three treasures. The Jungle treasures are a Serenity Stone, a Mythril Stone, and a Hi-Potion. Finally, get through the Jungle to the Oasis and meet... Pride Lands- Simba Poor Simba! Get the three treasures in the Oasis, which are also the final treasures in the Pride Lands! You should have twenty-five total. You'll also get the last map here! The treasures are the Oasis Map, an AP Boost and Torn Pages. Maps- Oasis Map (Complete) After speaking with Simba, you'll meet... Pride Lands- Timon, Puumba After some more cutscenes that involve going back to the Jungle and then talking to Simba again, you see... Pride Lands- Mufasa Pretty cool that they got James Earl Jones to come back, huh? Now, go through the Jungle and meet a new Heartless. Also, when fighting, use Simba's Limit. Heartless- Shaman Combo Attacks- Simba/King's Pride Now, play through until you defeat Scar (or rather, Scar as a Heartless?!). Back at the Gummi Ship, you only get an Album update. Also, we're not coming back here yet! Man, that was an incredibly straightforward world, huh? However, we've got new sidequests to do before Twilight Town. First, recap... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Collection: The Heartless- Living Bone, Aerial Knocker, Shaman Combo Attacks- Simba/King's Pride Pride Lands: Characters- Sora, Donald Duck, Goofy, Shenzai, Banzai, Ed, Nala, Rafiki, Scar, Pete, Simba, Timon, Puumba, Mufasa Album- Animal Kingdom, Reunion with Simba, Finding Yourself, The New King Treasures- 25 Total (Complete) Maps- Savannah Map, Pride Rock Map, Oasis Map (Complete) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ========================================================================== 17. Olympus Coliseum- Pain and Panic Cup/ 100 Acre Wood- Rabbit's House ========================================================================== Now, there is both a new cup at the Coliseum and a new episode of 100 Acre Wood open. Let's take care of both. First, head over to the Coliseum and first take part in the Pain and Panic Cup and beat it while satisfying the Jiminy objective. With all your new combo abilities, it should be quite easy. After that, take part in the Cerberus Cup. You'll likely not be strong enough to complete it within the time limit, so don't worry. Just try it out, likely lose, and walk away knowing you'll come back to conquer it. Also, if you make it to the semi-final match, which I'm assuming you can at least do, you'll meet a new Heartless (maybe my least favorite). Heartless- Tornado Step Missions- Pain and Panic Cup: Win with a Score of 2,000 or More Cerberus Cup: Give It A Try After that, head over to 100 Acre Wood with your new Torn Pages. There, you'll discover Rabbit's House. Go there, and meet... 100 Acre Wood- Eeyore After that, go around and collect all the treasures. They include a Draw Ring, a Mythril Crystal, and an AP Boost. Then, go around to everyone at the side of the house, and help Pooh by getting him an enormous amount of hunny through ingeniously going outside the book to get some! Well, ok, only just outside the pages of the book, but still, what a cool idea! After this, Pooh remembers some people, and we leave. 100 Acre Wood- Rabbit Now head right back inside, and go back to Rabbits House to play Hunny Slider again. This time, it means getting 8,000 points or more. This one might take a while, but you can do it. Just have fast reflexes (which you'll need in spades for Sephiroth and Poster Duty; compared to that battle and mini- game, this is child's play). Missions- Hunny Slider: Try Again, Finish with a Score of 8,000 or More Minigames- Hunny Slider Now we get to go back to Twilight Town! Let's recap first... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Collection: Heartless- Tornado Step Olympus Coliseum: Missions- Pain and Panic Cup: Win with a Score of 2,000 or More Cerberus Cup: Give It A Try 100 Acre Wood: Characters- Eeyore, Rabbit Treasures- 9 Total Missions- Hunny Slider: Try Again, Finish with a Score of 8,000 or More Minigames- Hunny Slider ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Let's head back to Twilight Town. ============================================================ 18. Twilight Town ============================================================ When you land, you meet... Twilight Town- Vivi Now, guess what you get to do? Go around and try out all those games you played as Roxas, and even a new one! Just know before you do this that Twilight Town features a combination of simple mini-games and insanely difficult ones. Some of these you'll be able to complete now, most won't happen until the very end of the game. For now, though, you can and should try them all out. Oddly enough, the games you can complete now are all on one board, specifically the Station Heights board. So go there now and try all three. The first one, Mail Delivery, you can complete easily with the Jiminy Objective. Grandstander is beatable with the Jiminy Objective now, especially if you're patient with it and play it safe, only hitting the ball up and down and not smacking it all over the place. And for the last one, Cargo Climb, I'm going to give the floor to GroveStreetSeifer, who e-mailed me with a fantastic strategy for Cargo Climb that actually made me play through the whole game again to see if it was true, and indeed it was! His e-mail is in the window below. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Twilight Town - Cargo Climb It's fairly simple to complete this minigame in under 15 seconds as both Roxas and Sora. All you need to do is use jump combos (make sure all extra abilities are unequipped before attempting with Sora). As soon as "GO!" appears, jump and lock on to the cargo at the same time, and begin a standard jump combo. Repeat this until the cart pops into the air. Give it one good whack while on the ground, chase it, and begin your jump combos again. You should be able to get it into the garage in just a little under 15 seconds. I've done this three times. Twice as Sora (once on normal mode and once on proud mode), and once as Roxas (proud mode). Hope this helps! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Just to provide a different perspective, jump towards the cargo every time you swing at it. It may not seem like you're doing much, but you'll easily make it, often with two or three seconds to go! And like GroveStreetSeifer, I've done it as Sora and as Roxas, so this is technically the easiest minigame of the six in Twilight Town. So, all games done on this board! Also, head to the girl next to the ball from Grandstander, and talk to her to participate in yet another skateboarding challenge, SB Street Rave! Finally, one in an area where it makes sense! This one's slightly trickier than the other ones, but not too much. Just get 200 points in all five turns, and you'll make it. Missions- Mail Delivery: Try Again, Complete within 14 Seconds Cargo Climb: Try Again, Complete Within 15 Seconds Grandstander: Try Again, Complete with 100 or More Points SB Street Rave: Give it a Try, Finish with 1000 or More Points Minigames- Mail Delivery, Cargo Climb, Grandstander, SB Street Rave Now, head to Tram Common and check the bulletin board too. You will not be able to complete any of these with the Jiminy Objective, but try them out anyways. By doing this, you complete all the Mini-game entries for Twilight Town! Missions- Poster Duty: Try Again Bumble-Buster: Try Again Junk Sweep: Try Again Minigames- Poster Duty, Bumble-Buster, Junk Sweep (Complete) Now, go down to the Sandlot. Here, you'll meet a bunch of characters, and fight some scary new Nobodies. Other- Saix Twilight Town- Seifer, Rai(Raijin), Fuu(Fuujin) Nobodies- Berserker Go to the Station, experience the craziness, and get outta there. Once in the Gummi Ship, you get some new entries. Other- Kairi Album- Kairi Arives, The Road Onward Now, go back to Twilight Town. Guess what we get to do? That's right, Struggle! Oh man, is this going to be exhilarating! Note the heavy sarcasm there. Well, we have to do it for completion. So go to the Sandlot, and fight Hayner, um, 10 times. During one of those 10 matches, beat him with at least 100 points. After that, you can fight Setzer, so do so 10 times. During those 10 matches, beat Setzer with 150 or more points. Finally, we get to Seifer, whom we only have to fight once! Fight him and get all his orbs, and then run far, far away! What a tedious game! Now, you have some new entries... Twilight Town- Setzer Missions- The Struggle: Hayner: Give it a Try, Win with 100 or More Points The Struggle: Setzer: Give it a Try, Win with 150 or More Points The Struggle: Seifer: Give it a Try, Win with 200 Points Let's recap... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Collection: Other- Saix, Kairi The Nobodies- Berserker Twilight Town: Characters- Vivi, Seifer, Rai(Raijin), Fuu(Fuujin), Setzer Album- Kairi Arrives, The Road Onward Missions- Mail Delivery: Try Again, Complete within 14 Seconds Cargo Climb: Try Again, Complete Within 15 Seconds Grandstander: Try Again, Complete with 100 or More Points SB Street Rave: Give it a Try, Finish with 1000 or More Points Poster Duty: Try Again Bumble-Buster: Try Again Junk Sweep: Try Again The Struggle: Hayner: Give it a Try, Win with 100 or More Points The Struggle: Setzer: Give it a Try, Win with 150 or More Points The Struggle: Seifer: Give it a Try, Win with 200 Points Minigames- Mail Delivery, Cargo Climb, Grandstander, SB Street Rave, Poster Duty, Bumble-Buster, Junk Sweep (Complete) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Now, let's go back to Hollow Bastion, and enter the craziest world ever! ============================================================= 19. Hollow Bastion ============================================================= Get on over to the Marketplace and meet... Hollow Bastion- Cloud Now, go to the Borough and battle a new Heartless. Heartless- Bookmaster Now, go to Merlin's House, get the news and then head on over to the Bailey. There, you'll meet... Hollow Bastion- Yuna, Rikku, Paine Ooh, don't get me started on Final Fantasy X-2! Grrr. Oh, sorry. In the Bailey, you'll fight some new Heartless. Heartless- Armored Knight, Morning Star Now, go through the Restoration Site to the Postern. At the Postern, after some scenes, you can get three treasures. They include the Castle Perimeter Map, a Mythril Gem, and an AP Boost. Maps- Castle Perimeter Map Now, get into the Corridors. Here, go exploring and collect the four treasures.

Space Paranoids ================================================================= When I heard there was going to be a Tron world, I couldn't believe it, but here we are! What an awesome choice! Anyways, when you get downloaded into the computer and have some scenes, you get some new entries... Space Paranoids- Sora, Donald Duck, Goofy, Tron, Sark After breaking through the barrier, you get a cutscene and meet... Space Paranoids- MCP Now, collect the two treasures in the Pit Cell. They include the Pit Cell Map and a Mythril Crystal. Maps- Pit Cell Map Now, get out to the Canyon and collect the four treasures. They include a Mega-Potion, a Mythril Stone, a Mythril Gem, and a Drive Recovery. Now take part in the cube challenge (fairly frustrating, actually) and get booted back to the outside. After some crazy plot, you obtain your Master Form and have access to all the treasures in Ansem's Study. They consist of the Skill Recipe and the Ukulele Charm! That's right, you can now summon... Other- Stitch So, go back to Space Paranoids, and after the kickass Light Cycle games, get back to the Canyon. There's a bunch of stuff you can and should do here. First off, you fight a new Heartless. You can also get an unbelievable three new combo attacks now! While you'll likely defeat all the enemies well before you can pull off all three, use them as soon as possible throughout the world. They are Tron's Limit, Genie's Master Form Limit, and Stitch's Limit. Heartless- Strafer Combo Attacks- Tron/Complete Compilement, Master Genie/Final Arcana, Stitch/Ohana! Now get to the I/O Tower: Hallway after the whole freezing the monitor thing. Here, collect the two treasures. They include a Tent and an AP Boost. Also, you'll fight a new Heartless here. Heartless- Devastator Get to the I/O Tower: Communications Room and collect the two treasures here. They include the I/O Tower Map and a Gaia Belt.

Other- Vexen, Lexaeus, Zexion, Marluxia, Larxene Ah, Chain of Memories! Now, it's time to be counter-intuitive and go back to Space Paranoids. Go in and get to the Light Cycle. You can complete this now, and it's good to get it out of the way. This'll take a while, but you'll get it. Space Paranoids: Missions- Light Cycle: Try Again, Finish with 30 Points or More (Complete) Minigames- Light Cycle (Complete) Now let's go help everyone. We'll be in Hollow Bastion for a while now. Hollow Bastion: After some battles, you get to the Postern and meet one of the nightmares of this game, and complete your character list for Hollow Bastion. Hollow Bastion- Sephiroth (Complete) Now get to the Bailey. Along the way, you'll battle a new Heartless and a new Nobody. Heartless- Crimson Jazz Nobodies- Dancer Now, fight a deceptively tough battle and defeat your first Organization XIII member, Demyx. We're making progress! Now, experience one of the scariest moments in videogame and Disney history as Goofy seemingly dies!!! How did they get away with that one?! Afterwards, you get a new entry. Other- King Mickey Now, get to the Crystal Fissure. Along the way, use Sora's extremely useful new limit. Combo- Sora/Trinity Limit At the Crystal Fissure, you discover that Goofy is all right. It's of course not surprising, but still really sweet and touching. That's the magic of Final Fantasy; they really are master storytellers. Anyhow, collect the four treasures here. They include Torn Pages, The Great Maw Map, an Elixir, and an AP Boost. You now have all the maps! Maps- The Great Maw Map (Complete) Now, you get to defeat, ulp, 1000 Heartless! Not hard at all, but it takes a while! When my girlfriend told me they had 1000 enemies on screen at once, I didn't believe her, but there they were. Crazy graphics. So, do that, and the story suddenly becomes much more sinister. Must be Xemnas. After all the plot, you're back on the Gummi Ship, and get some new entries. Ansem Reports: Secret Ansem Report 1 Other- Xehanort, Xemnas Album- Battle Royale, A King Decides Now, go back to Hollow Bastion. Get to the Restoration Site and jump up the new platform to go behind the wall and collect two treasures. They are the Moon Recipe and an AP Boost. Then, get to the Bailey and fight a new Heartless.

There, you'll meet the rest of the characters from 100 Acre Wood. 100 Acre Wood- Tigger, Kanga, Roo (Complete) Now, before talking to Tigger, collect the three treasures here. They are a Magic Boost, an AP Boost and an Orichalcum. Now, talk to Tigger and pop some balloons. After doing this, Pooh finally remembers Tigger. Now, go back to 100 Acre Wood, and play Balloon Bounce. Get 2,000 points, and then leave. Missions- Balloon Bounce: Try Again, Finish with a Score of 2,000 or More Minigames- Balloon Bounce Now you can go back to Atlantica! Do so, apparently now knowing how to read music, and perform Under the Sea. Here's a great example of wonderful the Disney animators were; the song just isn't the same without the beautiful animation from the movie. Anyhow, beat it, and discover that you need more crazy magnet power! Or something. Anyhow, go ahead and perform the song again. Atlantica: Missions- A Musical Challenge: Perform Under The Sea Again Only two more songs to go! Let's recap... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 100 Acre Wood: Characters- Tigger, Kanga, Roo (Complete) Treasures- 12 Total Missions- Balloon Bounce: Try Again, Finish with a Score of 2,000 or More Minigames- Balloon Bounce Atlantica: Missions- A Musical Challenge: Perform Under The Sea Again ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now we get to go to every world again, and finally complete most of them! Remember how satisfying it was to finish Disney Castle and Timeless River with every journal entry save the Character Links? Well, now you get to experience that for almost all the other worlds, too! Yes! Let's go to the Land of Dragons first. Also, I'll be recapping after every two or three worlds now, since the actual visits to each one will be so short. ======================================================================= 23. Land of Dragons, Hollow Bastion, 100 Acre Wood- The Spooky Cave ======================================================================= Land of Dragons: Here, go through all the plot until you get to the Throne Room. After battling the Nobodies in the Throne Room, you get several new entries, including the last character entry. Other- Xigbar Land of Dragons- Xigbar (Complete) Nobodies- Sniper Now, in the Throne Room, you can collect eight (!!) treasures. Just search all around, as some are cleverly hidden. They consist of Torn Pages, the Palace Map, an AP Boost, the Queen Recipe, an AP Boost, the Ogre Shield, a Mythril Crystal and an Orichalcum. These are the last treasures in The Land of Dragons. You should have twenty-one total. You've also gotten the last map. Maps- Palace Map (Complete) Go outside and fight in the first of many awesome boss battles to come. Once you get to the Gummi Ship, you'll have completed the world and met a new Heartless. Heartless- Storm Rider Land of Dragons (Complete): Characters- Xigbar (Complete) Story- Complete Album- A Man in Black, The Earth Shakes, Could it be Riku?, Good Friends (Complete) Now, let's go back to Hollow Bastion. There's an Event Mission we can do. Go back to the Postern, and meet with the Gullwings again. They'll give you a treasure chest containing the Gull Wing Keyblade. Good deal! You should have twenty-one treasures total now. Also, get into a battles and use Goofy's new Limit. Missions- Event: Meet the Three Girls Again Combo Attacks- Goofy/Twister Fusion Now head over to 100 Acre Wood. 100 Acre Wood: Here, you'll discover the Spooky Cave. Now, at first, don't worry about getting to Pooh in any kind of decent time. Just wander around and collect the six treasures. They include a Mythril Gem, an AP Boost, an Orichalcum, the Guard Recipe, a Mythril Crystal, and an AP Boost. You should have eighteen total. Now, find Pooh, leading your merry band of travelers along. When you get to Pooh, he will finally remember you! Yes! You'll also get the Spooky Cave Map, the last map in the world. Now, go back to the Spooky Cave and engage in the Expotition (I love that word!) again. This is very annoying to accomplish the Jiminy Objective in, but it's doable. Now you're done with 100 Acre Wood for a while. Maps- Spooky Cave Map (Complete) Missions- The Expotition: Try Again, Finish Within 90 Seconds Let's recap... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Collection: Other- Xigbar The Heartless- Storm Rider The Nobodies- Sniper Combo Attacks- Goofy/Twister Fusion Land of Dragons (Complete): Characters- Xigbar (Complete) Story- Complete Album- A Man in Black, The Earth Shakes, Could it be Riku?

I should note here that there is a chance you'll run into a rare Heartless called Bulky Vendor during the next several worlds. Since I didn't run into it until I went back to various worlds before the final battle, I won't be listing it here. But of course, if you run into it, defeat it and add it to your Journal. I'll mention how to get it at the end of the guide. ==================================================================== 24. Beast's Castle, Port Royal, Atlantica- Ursula's Revenge ==================================================================== Beast's Castle: When you land, you'll meet... Beast's Castle- The Beast, Belle After some scenes, you'll battle some Nobodies in the ballroom. There is a new Nobody here. Nobodies: Dragoon After this, go back to the Beast's Room and cheer him up. You'll get the Castle Walls Map, the last map in this area. Maps- Castle Walls Map (Complete) Now go ahead and fight Xaldin. Xaldin is tough, especially being only the second boss battle in the second half of the game, but he's quite beatable. Best of luck. After you defeat him, you get Ansem Report 4. You also go back to the Gummi Ship, and complete the world. Ansem Reports- Secret Ansem Report 4 Other- Xaldin Beast's Castle- Xaldin (Complete) Story- Complete Album- Ballroom Battle, Dressed-Up Duo, The Most Precious, Belle's Victory, Together Forever (Complete) Now, let's head on over to Port Royal and finish that world up. Port Royal: Go to the Harbor and set sail on the Black Pearl. You'll engage in a big fight and wash onto a new area, the Ship Graveyard. During that battle, you meet the last character in Port Royal... Other- Luxord Port Royal- Luxord (Complete) Now you're in the Ship Graveyard: Interceptor's Hold. Here, open the treasure chest and receive the Feather Charm! That's right... Other- Peter Pan That's your last summon. Now head out to the Ship Graveyard: Seadrift Row and collect the three treasures here. They consist of a High Drive Recovery, the King Recipe, and a Mythril Crystal. Also, in this area, use Peter Pan's Limit. Now, go to the next area and defeat the new Nobody with the medallion. You'll receive the Ship Graveyard Map, the last map in this world. Nobodies- Gambler Combo Attacks- Peter Pan/Neverland Maps- Ship Graveyard Map (Complete) Now you get to go around collecting medallions. Go back to the Ship Graveyard and collect medallions. Make sure to go back to the Ship Graveyard: Seadrift Keep to collect the three treasures in the area. They are an AP Boost, an Orichalcum, and the Meteor Staff. Those are the last treasures in the world. You should have twenty-one total. Now, collect the rest of the medallions, and get back to town, where you'll fight an extremely annoying boss battle (both bosses were pretty annoying in this world, weren't they?). After a rather long and strange end scene (almost hinting that Jack Sparrow will be a huge character in the next Kingdom Hearts), you get back to the Gummi Ship and complete the world, as well as get new entries. Ansem Reports- Secret Ansem Report 6 Heartless- Grim Reaper Story- Complete Album- The Curse Returns, Parley!, To Port Royal, Battle Spoils (Complete) Now, once again, head over to Atlantica. Atlantica: Here, you'll first meet a new character. Atlantica- Ursula Now, after some looong scenes, you get to defeat Ursula with the power of song. Uh-huh. Pretty cool that they used an unused song from the original movie in the game though. Anyhow, beat Ursula, make everyone happy, and finish up the character list. Atlantica- Ariel, King Triton, Vanessa, Ursula, Flotsam, Jetsam (Complete) Now, go back and play Ursula's Revenge again. Of course, you need to have better magic skills for Sebastian to let you perform the grand finale, so you'll have to come back later. Missions- A Musical Challenge: Perform Ursula's Revenge Again Let's recap... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Collection: Ansem Reports- Secret Ansem Report 4, Secret Ansem Report 6 Other- Xaldin, Luxord, Peter Pan The Heartless- Grim Reaper The Nobodies- Dragoon, Gambler Combo Attacks- Peter Pan/Neverland Beast's Castle (Complete): Characters- The Beast, Belle, Xaldin (Complete) Story- Complete Album- Ballroom Battle, Dressed-Up Duo, The Most Precious, Belle's Victory, Together Forever (Complete) Maps- Castle Walls Map (Complete) Port Royal (Complete): Characters- Luxord (Complete) Story- Complete Album- The Curse Returns, Parley!, To Port Royal, Battle Spoils (Complete) Treasures- 21 Total (Complete) Maps- Ship Graveyard Map (Complete) Atlantica: Characters- Ursula, Ariel, King Triton, Vanessa, Ursula, Flotsam, Jetsam (Complete) Missions- A Musical Challenge: Perform Ursula's Revenge Again ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now head to the Olympus Coliseum. ======================================================================== 25. Olympus Coliseum, Agrabah, 100 Acre Wood- Starry Hill ======================================================================== Here, you're entered in the Hades Cup automatically. During one of the two fights, use Donald's new Limit. Also, during the second match, the semi- final match, you'll meet a new Heartless. Combo Attacks- Donald/Flare Force Heartless- Crescendo Now, go get Auron's Doll, release his spirit, and defeat Hades. None of it's too difficult. After all this, you'll finally become heroes!!! Get back to the gummi Ship and check out your new entries... Story- Complete Album- The Hades Cup, Hades' Puppet, The Hero Returns, Heroes at Last (Complete) Now, the Titan Cup is open, but you're not at the recommended level yet. Let's come back later. Believe me, this world will be the last you'll complete anyways, so prepare to come back a whole bunch more! Let's go to Agrabah. Agrabah: After the scene, you'll have a new entry... Agrabah- Jafar Now, head out to the Oasis and to the Ruins. After an annoying series of puzzles that I guess help you learn how to fly on the carpet (even though the controls are exactly the same as swimming...), you get into the Ruined Chamber. Collect the two treasures here. They are the last Torn Pages and the Ruins Map. Those are the last treasures in the world. You should have twenty-six total. You've also gotten the last map. Maps- Ruins Map (Complete) Now discover Iago's treachery, go back and fight Jafar in a stupidly easy yet tedious battle. Defeat him, and get to the Gummi Ship. You'll have new entries. Agrabah- Jafar (Complete) Story- Complete Album- Jafar is Released, The Flying Carpet, Jafar's Trap, Working his Magic (Complete) Now head back down to Agrabah and go back to the Ruined Chamber. Press the switch, and you get to play the awesome Magic Carpet ride through the ruins again, only this time for points. You should be able to just make it with the Jiminy objective. Have fun! After this, you'll have completed Agrabah. Missions- Magic Carpet: Try Again, Finish with a Score of 65 or More (Complete) Minigames- Magic Carpet (Complete) Now we can complete 100 Acre Wood. Go there. 100 Acre Wood: You'll discover Starry Hill, where Pooh has gotten himself stuck inside a hunny pot. Yeah, that tends to happen, doesn't it? Here, you can collect two treasures. They are a Cosmic Ring and the Style Recipe. These are the last treasures on this world. You should have twenty total. Now go help Pooh and get a very sweet ending to the story. Story- Complete Album- Memories Lost, Memories Found, Sora Remembered, I'm Always Here (Complete) Now go back and play the Hunny Pot game again. This seems to be rather arbitrary, so keep trying and you'll eventually get it. Good luck! After beating this mission, 100 Acre Wood is finally yet sadly complete! Missions- The Hunny Pot: Try Again, Finish with a Score of 8,000 or More (Complete) Minigames- The Hunny Pot (Complete) Now head back to the Coliseum. Olympus Coliseum: You should be strong enough and have enough magic to beat the Cerberus Cup with the Jiminy Objective. One thing that works wonders is to use Magnet magic to draw everyone in and possibly kill most of them. This makes everything go very fast and gives you many orbs. Cerberus itself is not hard, it's the time limit. After you beat that, try out the Titan Cup. I wasn't able to beat it at my current level, but you might. You'll meet a new Heartless and a new Nobody in the Titan Cup. Missions- Cerberus: Give it a Try, Win with a Score of 1,000 or More Titan: Give it a Try Heartless- Magnum Loader Nobodies- Assassin OK, that was a lot of running around.

Halloween Town, Pride Lands, Atlantica- A New Day is Dawning Again ======================================================================== Halloween Town: This is a very straightforward and short visit. After defeating Lock, Shock and Barrel, wrap some presents, and then head back to the Town Square. On the way, you'll pass through the Graveyard and meet a new Heartless. Heartless- Graveyard After some running around, you'll duel the Experiment in Christmas Town and save all the presents, as well as make everyone happy yet again. Back at the Gummi Ship, you get some new entries. Halloween Town- The Experiment (Complete) Story- Complete Album- The Present Thief, Mischievous Trio, The Real Culprit, From the Heart (Complete) Now go back to Halloween Town and get to Santa's Workshop. Talk to the elf and wrap some more gifts. This is largely dependent on luck, so keep at it if you can't get it at first. Upon completing this, you complete the world. Missions- Gift Wrapping: Try Again, Finish with a Score of 150 or More (Complete) Minigames- Gift Wrapping (Complete) All right, head over to the Pride Lands. Pride Lands: This is even more straightforward than Halloween Town, though more challenging. Upon landing, you discover Simba is being haunted by the final character in Pride Lands. Pride Lands- The Ghost of Scar (Complete) Now defeat the hyenas (actually a very nice tutorial on effective dashing), run around the world and end up back at the Savannah, where you'll engage in an insane boss battle. The only thing I can compare this battle to is something from Shadow of the Colossus, which makes it an innovative and thrilling battle! Once you defeat it, you get back to the Gummi Ship and complete the world. Heartless- Groundshaker Story- Complete Album- Scar's Phantom, Losing Yourself, Simba Returned, Giant Heartless (Complete) And now, at long last, you can go back to Atlantica and complete it! Let's go! Atlantica: Just land and talk to Sebastian. After a painful new song (albeit with a somewhat catchy melody), you complete the story. Now go back and play the song one more time. And you're done!!! Congratulations on surviving Atlantica, the easiest world to complete in terms of skill but the hardest to survive psychologically. Good job! Story- Complete Album- A Chance Meeting, Ariel the Human, Battle with Ursula, Two Worlds Now One (Complete) Missions- A Musical Challenge: Perform A New Day is Dawning Again (Complete) All right, let's recap... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Collection: The Heartless- Graveyard, Groundshaker Halloween Town (Complete): Characters- The Experiment (Complete) Story- Complete Album- The Present Thief, Mischievous Trio, The Real Culprit, From the Heart (Complete) Missions- Gift Wrapping: Try Again, Finish with a Score of 150 or More (Complete) Minigames- Gift Wrapping (Complete) Pride Lands (Complete): Characters- The Ghost of Scar (Complete) Story- Complete Album- Scar's Phantom, Losing Yourself, Simba Returned, Giant Heartless (Complete) Atlantica (Complete): Story- Complete Album- A Chance Meeting, Ariel the Human, Battle with Ursula, Two Worlds Now One (Complete) Missions- A Musical Challenge: Perform A New Day is Dawning Again (Complete) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- All right, we're in the home stretch! Let's head back to Hollow Bastion, which is going crazy for some reason. ====================================================================== 27. Space Paranoids, Radiant Garden ====================================================================== Hollow Bastion: Oh, of course; it's the MCP! Well, first, you can get one last treasure in Hollow Bastion. Head all the way to the Heartless Manufactory, which is next to the computer that takes you to Space Paranoids. There is one treasure chest here, which contains a Cosmic Chain. Finally, that's all the treasures in Hollow Bastion! You should have twenty-two total. Now head back to Space Paranoids. Time to delete the MCP! Space Paranoids: First, go to the game grid and save Tron. After this, get to the I/O Tower, fight some scary Heartless battles, and get to the Simulation Hangar. From here, ride the Solar Sailer, win the really dumb Heartless battle (dumb in that the "weight" meter should go down as you defeat Heartless, not up), and get to the Central Computer Mesa. Here, you can pick up four treasures. They are an AP Boost, an Orichalcum, a Cosmic Arts and the Central Computer Mesa Map. Those are the last treasures in the world. You should have fourteen total. You've also found all the maps! Maps- Central Computer Mesa Map (Complete) Now, go ahead and fight the stupidly easy yet cool battle against Sark and the MCP. After that, you get some long and touching scenes, and a rather dramatic thing happens; Hollow Bastion gets renamed as Radiant Garden!!! You also complete Space Paranoids. Story- Complete Album- MCP Runs Amok, The Solar Sailer, MCP Face-Off, Farewell Tron (Complete) Radiant Garden: When you get back here, you've completed everything but one final battle. Yup, Sephiroth is waiting for you. Even though I've heard of people beating him at very low levels, I'm going to leave him for the end. Also, if you haven't done it yet, speak to Scrooge to find out about the sea salt ice cream. Story- Complete Album- Heartless Again, Its True Name (Complete) Well, now we're off to Twilight Town yet again to gain access to the final world and discover the truth! Get there via Assault of the Dreadnought. ========================================================================= 28. Twilight Town ========================================================================= Nothing seems out of the ordinary save for some Nobodies scattered about. But don't worry; we'll discover the truth about Twilight Town soon! First though, we have a ton of new treasures to pick up. Head to Central Station, where you finally have access to the Underground Concourse through the tunnel on the side of the building. Go there and explore to find four treasures. They consist of a Mythril Gem, an Orichalcum, an AP Boost, and a Mythril Crystal. Go on through to the Tunnelway. You'll find two treasures there. They are an Orichalcum and a Mythril Crystal. Get out of the Tunnelway and into the beautiful Sunset Terrace. There are four treasures there. They are an Orichalcum+, a Mythril Shard, a Mythril Crystal, and an AP Boost. Now go all the way back through the underground tunnels and get to the Old Mansion. After some crazy scenes, go inside. In the Mansion: Foyer, there are three treasures. They are a Mythril Crystal, a Mythril Stone and an Elixir. Go to the Mansion: Dining Room and get the two treasures there. They include a Mythril Crystal and a Mythril Stone. Then go to the Mansion: Library and get the one treasure there after the scene. It's an Orichalcum. Finally, don't tell Pence the password, but go outside to the Mansion: Basement Corridor. There, you'll find one treasure. It's the Ultimate Recipe. And that, at long last, is the last treasure in Twilight Town! You should have a whopping thirty-nine treasures total. Now tell Pence the password, and get teleported to... Simulated Twilight Town! A-ha! Everything suddenly makes perfect sense. Man, Ansem the Wise kinda sucks, doesn't he? Well, he'll be much worse later, trust me. After teleporting, you get a bunch of entries, including the last character entry in the world. Other- Namine, Diz Twilight Town- Roxas (Complete) Nobodies- Twilight Thorn Now enter the dark portal and get to the crazily named world of Betwixt and Between. Here, you'll pick up a new entry... Other- Axel Speaking of Axel, what a sad way to go! He saved you though and felt content in the end (or as content as Nobodies can feel), so his ending is ultimately happy. All right, let's go to the final world!!! Now, I'm going to cut with tradition here just this once in regards to recapping. Enter the portal to the final world. =========================================================================== 29. Twilight Town Recap, The World That Never Was =========================================================================== Oh man, what an incredible world!!! I love this place; talk about atmosphere!

Get out of the Alley to Fragment Crossing. Here, there are four treasures. They are a Mythril Shard, a Mythril Crystal, an AP Boost and an Orichalcum. Now go to Memory's Skyscraper and witness an incredible scene. After this, you get some entries...

Ansem Reports- Secret Ansem Report 3 Other- Ansem the Wise The World That Never Was- Xigbar, Ansem the Wise Now, I want you to do something strange. Go to the next area, Naught's Skyway. Get into a battle and change into any Form you like. I'd suggest Master Form simply because that's what worked for me, but I'm pretty sure you can choose whatever you'd like. You have the opportunity now to turn into Final Form by changing into any of your other forms. Your Drive Gauge should also be at 5, which is the requirement for Final Form. If you don't turn into it (it's white and lets you glide), run back to the Hall of Empty Melodies. Miraculously, your Drive Gauge will have completely refilled! Exploit this glitch until you shift into Final Form. This may take a while; it took me about ten tries, including one shift into Anti-Form. After you have Final Form, go back to the Hall of Empty Melodies to recharge and save. Then head back to Naught's Skyway and summon Genie to use his Final Limit. There are also three treasures in Naught's Skyway. They are a Mythril Gem, an Orichalcum, and a Mythril Crystal. Combo Attacks- Final Genie/Infinity Now get to the upper area of the Hall of Empty Melodies, where you'll meet Kairi and Riku. You'll also receive the final map of the world and the game!!! Maps- Castle That Never Was Map (Complete) (Maps Complete) Now go to the Proof of Existence and go through the doorway that's open right now. You'll enter Havoc's Divide and finally defeat Luxord in a very strange and neat battle. Upon defeating him, you get a couple of entries. Ansem Reports- Secret Ansem Report 9 The World That Never Was- Luxord A new doorway will have opened up. Go on through to the Addled Impasse and prepare for a ridiculous boss battle against Saix. This Nobody isn't called a Berserker for nothing. Defeat him and get a couple of entries. Ansem Reports- Secret Ansem Report 12 The World That Never Was- Saix Now, go through the northern most doorway to Naught's Approach, where a long scene plays. Afterwards, possibly the most rewarding thing for us journal completionists occurs. Riku shows up in his original form, and by doing so, gives us the final Character Link!!! That's right, every world now has a completed Character Links section and is now officially complete. Yes! Good going, Riku! Of course, you get new entries after Riku becomes himself again. Ansem Reports- Secret Ansem Report 11 The World That Never Was- Riku Character Links Complete! Now, keep going through Naught's Approach to Ruin and Creation's Passage. At some point here, use Riku's Limit. This gives us the final Combo Attack in the game! Combo Attacks- Riku/Eternal Session (Complete) Now, in Ruin and Creation's Passage, collect the final four treasures in the game. They are a Mythril Stone, an AP Boost, a Mythril Crystal and an Orichalcum. That's satisfying, isn't it? You now have all the treasures in The World That Never Was and in the game. For The World That Never Was, you should have nineteen total. Now, go to the Altar of Naught. Here, you'll duel Xemnas one on one in a rather fun but easy battle. After that, you get the last character entry in The World That Never Was and in the game, as well as the last Ansem Report! And, because you've done everything to do in The World That Never Was besides fight the final battle, you complete the story and the album too! Ansem Reports- Secret Ansem Report 13 (Complete) The World That Never Was- Xemnas (Complete) (Character Files Complete) Story- Complete Album- Reunion, What Will Happen? (Complete) And now, we come to the longest and most exhausting part of the game, filling out the rest of the journal. With this guide, you'll have finished the majority of the Journal, but you still have quite a bit more to do. Mainly, you have an enormous amount of preparation to be able to finish everything. Let's recap first... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Collection: Ansem Reports- Secret Ansem Report 8, Secret Ansem Report 3, Secret Ansem Report 9, Secret Ansem Report 12, Secret Ansem Report 11, Secret Ansem Report 13 (Complete) Other: Roxas, Riku, Ansem the Wise (Character Files Complete) The Nobodies- Sorcerer (Complete) Treasures- Complete Maps- Complete Combo Attacks- Final Genie/Infinity, Riku/Eternal Session (Complete) Character Links- Complete The World That Never Was (Complete): Characters- Sora, Donald Duck, Goofy, King Mickey, Roxas, Xigbar, Ansem the Wise, Luxord, Saix, Riku, Xemnas (Complete) Story- Complete Album- Reunion, What Will Happen?

Completing Jiminy's Journal ========================================================================= All right, let's outline what we still have to do. Here's a list by world or category. The Heartless- Bulky Vendor Twilight Town: Missions- Poster Duty: Complete Within 30 Seconds Bumble-Buster: Complete Within 10 Seconds Junk Sweep: Complete With Less than 6 Points Radiant Garden: Missions- Meet Sephiroth Again Olympus Coliseum: Missions- Phil's Training: Complete with a Score of 1,000 or More Titan: Win with a Score of 5,000 or More Goddess of Fate: Give it a Try, Win with a score of 3,000 or More Paradox Panic: Give it a Try, Win with a Score of 2,500 or More Paradox Cerberus: Give it a Try, Win with a Score of 1,300 or More Paradox Titan: Give it a Try, Win with a Score of 10,000 or More Paradox Hades: Give it a Try, Win with a Score of 15,000 or More Minigames- Titan Cup, Goddess of Fate Cup, Pain and Panic Paradox Cup, Cerberus Paradox Cup, Titan Paradox Cup, Hades Paradox Cup Synthesis Notes Obviously, by far the most work lies in the Coliseum, which will take you a looong time to complete. I have not completed any of these things myself, but what I can provide for you right now is a recommended order of completion on these things. For the Synthesis Notes, my only recommendation for now is to run around and collect everything in sight. Again, this is next to impossible to give strategy for due to the randomness of the process in which you fill up the Synthesis Notes. Believe me, with the amount of leveling up you'll have to do, you're bound to finish the Synthesis Notes, or at least most of them. Anyhow, below is my recommended order of completion for the remaining Jiminy's Journal entries. 1. Find the Bulky Vendor in worlds such as Port Royal or Agrabah 2. Get to Level 53 and compete in the Goddess of Fate Cup 3. Complete Phil's Training 3. Get to Level 60 and get the Jiminy Objective in the Goddess of Fate Cup 4. Compete in the Paradox Pain and Panic Cup 5. Get to Level 70, get all Forms except Final Form at level 5 and beat the Jiminy Objective in the Paradox Pain and Panic Cup 6. Compete in the Paradox Cerberus Cup 7. Get to Level 80, get Summons to Level 5, and beat the Jiminy Objective in the Paradox Cerberus Cup 8. Compete in Titan Paradox Cup 9. Get to Level 99, get max levels in all Forms, get Summons to max level, and beat the Jiminy Objective on the Titan Paradox Cup 10. Defeat Sephiroth 11. Complete the Hades Paradox Cup, including the Jiminy Objective 12. Complete Junk Sweep 13. Complete Poster Duty OK, so let's do this. It's going to take a while. First off, for the Bulky Vendor, my experience is that he'll just show up randomly, so I won't be able to tell you exactly where or when you'll find him. I first encountered one in the Land of Dragons, at the Checkpoint. Wherever you end up encountering the Bulky Vendor, the info bar will show up stating "There's a rare Heartless!" When the info bar does this, cast magic immediately to make it appear, and then defeat the Heartless to get it to show up in the Journal. If you've been following the recommended levels for each world, you should be at Level 53 or so, and by dueling Xemnas once, you've unlocked the Goddess of Fate Cup at the Coliseum, so go ahead and compete in it. You should be able to beat the Cup, but probably not with the Jiminy Objective. In any event, once you've beaten the Goddess of Fate Cup, you've beaten the Underdrome Cups, and have received a crucial item for completing the Synthesis Notes, the final Orichalcum +. You can now make the Ultima Weapon, which will be essential to complete some of the missions with. Now while you're at the Coliseum, head over to Phil's Training. Despite what other FAQS say, you DON'T need Fenrir to complete the Jiminy Objective. Just equip a Keyblade like Follow the Wind or Sweet Memories (I think I beat it with little effort with Sweet Memories), unequip all your combo abilities except Explosion and Negative Combo, and use common sense (go after the big ones as soon as they appear}. When I beat Phil's Training, I didn't think I was going to make it at first, then suddenly my score went from 200 to 700 after I destroyed a big urn, and I ended up with about 1300! It might be luck, but it's likely just being aggressive and attacking the big urns as much as possible. Now for tedium. It's time to go around level up as much as you possibly can. Good places to do this include The World That Never Was and my favorite little trick, the top of Pride Rock in the Pride Land(s). For the Pride Rock one, unequip every ability that Donald and Simba have (or any members in your party, really), especially the combos that heal, get Sora to very little health i.e. the warning siren is blaring, then go up to the top of Pride Rock, use Magnera, and watch your levels go up like crazy! You'll also get an obscene amount of Lightning Shards when you do this (I would guess I've gotten thousands from all the times I've done this, but the most you can have at any given time is 99), which are great items for Synthesis. Speaking of Synthesis, here's a strategy that I'm stealing from the Brady Games Guide! If you want to make Synthesis collecting much less of a pain, make sure that Sora, Donald and Goofy all have Lucky Lucky equipped as an ability (this is why I strongly urged you not to pick the staff in the beginning; Sora gets Lucky Lucky at Level 99 with the Staff, whereas he gets it at Level 41 if you choose the Sword!) So, the strategy from the Brady Games guide. Make sure all the characters have Lucky Lucky equipped, and equip Sweet Memories on Sora, Meteor Staff on Donald, Genji Shield on Goofy, and the Lucky Ring on anyone. With all these items equipped, you'll have seven Lucky Lucky abilities active at once, and this will cause pretty much every enemy to drop an item. While Synthesis will still take forever, it won't be nearly as bad as it could be otherwise. Also, try to create the Ultima Weapon as soon as possible using the Ultima Recipe as a guide. You likely won't be able to make it anytime soon, but once you do, it will prove invaluable. All right, so get to Level 60, and head back to the Coliseum. You should now be able to get the Jiminy Objective in the Goddess of Fate Cup, so do so. Oh, and by the way, if you're curious about how to achieve Jiminy Objectives for the rest of the Coliseum, read the paragraph below. There are two things to do here. One, use Magnera as much as possible, especially in the Cerberus Cups. Two, and much more important, abuse Stitch! Yes, it's boring, yes, it's tedious, but it's the ONLY way to achieve these scores, especially in the Paradox Cups. Summon Stitch as much as possible and play that ukulele as much as you can; it'll take forever, but you'll make it, I promise. All right, so here's a part people get confused about. Now that you've beaten all the Underdrome Cups, you need to get to Hades himself, who happens to be hanging out in his chamber. So get over there and talk to the guy, and he'll offer you the Pain and Panic Paradox Cup! Compete, hopefully win (you should be able to, but might not be able to accomplish the Jiminy Objective) and move on out. There's a lot more to go. Now here's a crazy one. The way to unlock the next Paradox Cup is to level up all of your Forms except Final Form to Level 5. Huh. Well, let's do this. Hopefully, you've leveled up Valor Form at least two levels just by whacking stuff around while in it, since Valor Form levels up by Sora hitting anything. If you had the foresight (or if you read my recommendations after the prologue), you would have used Valor form mostly on bosses and might have already gotten it to level 7 by now! If not, fear not. Let's level up Master Form and Valor Form in the same place. Head on over to the Land of Dragons, specifically the Throne Room. Head out the big doors, and duel the Assault Riders. Here's a trick that will make leveling up Drive Forms incredibly easy. When you finish dueling the Assault Riders, you should still be in whatever form you chose to use. Run back to the Throne Room Save Point while still in that Form and go to the World Map. Then come back to the Throne Room and your Drive Gauge will be full! Woo-hoo! Glitches rock! So Valor Form levels up by hitting things and Master Form levels up by collecting Drive Orbs, so the area mentioned above in the Land of Dragons is ideal for both forms. So get both of them to Level 5, and then head over to the World That Never Was, specifically the Alley to Between save point. Head over to Fragment Crossing, switch to Wisdom Form, and take out the practically infinite number of Heartless with a Save Point right next door! Because Wisdom Form levels up from the number of Heartless you defeat, this is the ideal place to level it up. Get Wisdom Form to Level 5, get Sora to Level 70, and then head on back to the Coliseum. Go to Hades and get the Jiminy Objective in the Paradox Pain and Panic Cup if you haven't already. Once that's done, enter the Paradox Cerberus Cup. Again, you can probably get the Jiminy Objective now, but if not, no worries. Next, head on out to the big bad universe of Kingdom Hearts II for yet more leveling. For the next cup to be unlocked, you need to have your Summon levels at 5. My strategy for this is rather simple; go somewhere and summon a bunch! Seriously. The Summon level goes up depending on the Drive Gauge. For example, if you use a full drive gauge (let's say 6 points) up while using a summon, the summon level goes up 6 points. Simple and tedious as that. So summon away until the summons get to Level 5, get Sora to Level 80, and head back to the Coliseum to compete in the Paradox Titan Cup, as well as get the Jiminy Objective in the Paradox Cerberus Cup if you haven't done so already (use Magnera). Now, for the final time, head out to level up. This one's gonna be a doozy. In order to unlock the final Cup, you have to max out all your Forms and get your Summons to Level 7. So go ahead. To max out Final Form, go either to The World that Never Was, or of all places, the Tower in Twilight Town. Also, get Sora to Level 99. Have fun! OK, welcome back. I hope nothing terribly bad happened in the month or so that all that took you. Just kidding. Anyhow, now you have several options open to you. Here's the route I took, but it's entirely up to you. Head on over to Hollow Bastion, and yes, "Meet Sephiroth Again." In other words, defeat him in a wonderful, crazy, absurd one-on-one battle! Could you have defeated him earlier than this? Yes. Would it have been aggravating and much harder than it needed to be? Most definitely. Now at Level 99, take Sephiroth down! He's also quite nice practice for the final Coliseum Cup. Defeat him, watch the Showdown of Fate, and receive both a new point added to your Drive Gauge and Fenrir, the strongest Keyblade in the game and possessor of the coveted Negative Combo ability! With your victory over Sephiroth still fresh, head on over to the Coliseum. It's time to finish this. Get to Hades, beat the Titan Cup Jiminy Objective if you haven't already, and enter the Paradox Hades Cup. There is a stunning FAQ up on GameFAQs by Pavlov_Tiger about this cup, and thus anything I would say here in terms of strategy would be redundant. Two things to note though. One, STITCH! You'll easily be able to accomplish the Jiminy Objective, despite what it may seem. Two, in order to actually get the Jiminy Objective recorded, you have to go through all 50 rounds CONSECUTIVELY. That's right, no stopping every ten rounds like you thought you could. Practice, practice, practice. This will take a very long time, but the sense of accomplishment when you beat it is quite something! And now, at long last, head over to Twilight Town. You've got two games to complete. First, Junk Sweep. Get rid of all of your combo abilities, and equip Fenrir and Negative Combo. Now, every "combo" will be one hit, so by lining the scrap heaps up properly, you should easily be able to beat this. Next and last, the dreaded Poster Duty. This is actually quite tough to beat even with all of your newfound abilities, but with practice, it'll become quite doable. And you're done!!! Congratulations! What a ride, huh? Bet you forgot all about the story. Anyhow, you know what to do now. Go into Kingdom Hearts, defeat Xemnas, and see the secret ending! ======================================================================= 31. Complete Collection List ======================================================================= All right, due to reader request and just general common sense, I've created this comprehensive list of the locations of everything in the Collection section of the Journal. Wondering exactly where a Combo Attack is and don't want to wade through the guide? Just come here and find it quickly! All locations are the first place you can find each entry. In the interest of not spending an absurd amount of time on this, I'm not going to be displaying entries for the following sections due to them being listed by world in the Journal, and thus covered extensively in their corresponding sections in the guide: Character Files (except for one special character I haven't covered in the guide) Treasures Maps Missions Minigames Character Links Also, Synthesis Notes will be extensively covered in a guide my girlfriend is writing, which is to be included in the next update! For now, though, I won't be covering it. Enjoy!
