Contact Information ------------------------ New Email : Kingdom_Hearts_FAQ@yahoo.com Alright, from the flood of Instant Messages from people saying "Hello" and "How do I beat this world" my AIM name has been taken off. To those who actually used my AIM name correctly and helped me, thanks a whole bunch. I've actually made some good friends out of this. =What to send= Easter Eggs and Fun Stuff Leveling Up Strategy's of your own Corrections(not Spelling and Grammar) Anything this FAQ might not...explain...well =What NOT to send= Sephiroth Stradegy's(my god theres an FAQ for him) Spelling Corrections and Grammar Something that isn't optional or secret. Some huge list of item's A really bad strategy for a boss Saying things like "You suck you rip-off" ************************************************ Frequently Asked Questions--READ BEFORE YOU ASK! ************************************************ Alright, for those who simply do not get this game, I am tired of you asking me the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. Someone that has volunteered to answer some questions you may have is highwind002. Instant message him for questions, he knows just about everything. I am taking my AIM off, so, sorry. Q- Have you beat Kingdom Hearts? A- I have now beat it, yes! Q- How do I get the secret ending? A- Beat ALL worlds,get ALL 99 dalmations, and win the Hades Cup. You do NOT need the Ansem Reports, OR anything else! Q- Where are puppies 60-63? A- You must defeat Malificient, then when returning to Hollow Bastion go to the Chapel and go up the stairs to the left, and they are in a chest at the top. Q- After you beat Monstro, can you ever go back? A- YES! Keep going back and forth from Agrabah to Atlantica and vise versa. It will rarely appear. Q- Why Don't You have Ultima Weapon? A- I do now!!! Q- Where do I find pups 58-60? A- In the Queen's Castle, in the Bizzare room, use the glide ability on the yellow pot. Q- Is it possible to lock Monstro? A- Nope, there is not a keyhole in Monstro. But, you do need to complete it to get the secret ending, because you get High Jump. High Jump is vital to get some of the puppies, which you must have to get the secret ending. Q- How do I attach a torn page? A- Just go to the book in Merlin's House, on the bed. Some people seem to think that when you go to the book, it should attach. Alot of people are mad because there's nothing to do here in the 100 Acre Wood. Chances are, you haven't snuck up on Piglet. Go up behind him in the tree and talk to him. From here on out, Torn Page's turn into Items once you complete a 100 Acre Wood Mini-Game. Q- Can I go back to Neverland Clock Tower? A- Well, YEAH ...talk to Tinkerbell in the ships holds/cabin. Q- Why did (blank) happen? A- Why are you asking me? I didn't make the game... Q- (not really a question,BUT...) You need this for the Secret Ending. A- No you do not. ------------------------- IV.

Optional and Secret Bosses ------------------------------- **NOTE** No more stradegy's for Sephiroth will be accepted. For god sakes, theres an FAQ for the boss. Just use that! Sephiroth - The Platinum Match at the Coliseum after locking Hollow Bastion //****Ultimate Sephiroth Stradegy!****\\ Submitted By: TELL ME WHO YOU ARE. Alright...my strategy might seem...hm...really different and hard. I DID NOT NEED TO USE: 1. Aero/Aerora/Aeroga 2. Items like Elixir I didn't know how to get Curaga at the time...so I just used Cura whenever I needed to. EQUIPED: 1. 2 MP Rages, MP Haste, Second Chance, Guard, Dodge Roll, and Superglide. Strat for 1st form: Now I've seen people write that they used Aero/Aerora/Aeroga at the start. Well you don't need it. Sephiroth's sword is oh...bout as big as he is. So...run as far as how tall Seph is to him then just jump high enough (NOT TOO HIGH!). If you run just close enough to him, he'll do his horizontal slash. After jumping over his horizontal slash, hit the X button when you're close enough to him. Follow the hit with three more X presses. He'll vanish after the fourth hit. Ok..I did a little bit of experimenting...and he will appear 2 seconds after he vanishes. So..count 2 full seconds...THEN HIT THE SQUARE BUTTON RIGHT AWAY AND LOCK ON AT THE RIGHT AFTER. So it's..hit square then R1 right after hitting square. If timed right..you'll block Seph's dashing slash and face him. THIS HAS ALMOST ALWAYS WORKED FOR ME. SOMETIMES SEPH COULD GET YOU OFF TIMING..HE MIGHT REAPPEAR EARLIER OR MORE THAN 2 SECONDS. After blocking his slash, repeat the HITTING process and then do the BLOCKING process over and over again. If you're ever hit..keep a distance from Seph, then CURE right away when you're health bar is almost or drained at the half way point. Summary of Strat 1: Run up to Seph as far as how tall he is then quickly jump over his horizontal slash (REMEMBER NOT TO HIGH) and then hit him once, land back down, then follow it with 3 more hits. Count two seconds then hit square and R1 right after that to block his dashing slash at the right time. Repeat these two processes over and over again til you get a little bit past his Orange life bar. At a distance, use CURE whenever you're health bar is almost or drained at the half way point of your health bar. *USE THE CURE PROCESS FOR ALL THREE OF THE FORM STRATEGIES 2.Strat for 2nd form: Now Seph will start to run like hell at this point. HE ALSO HAS THE MOVE SIN FERNAL. WHENEVER YOU HEAR HIM SAY SIN FERNAL SUPERGLIDE TOWARD HIM THEN SLASH HIM FOUR TIMES. Keep your distance from him until he vanishes. NOW WHEN HE VANISHES HE'LL APPEAR RIGHT BEHIND YOU. WHEN HE DOES THIS, DODGE ROLL toward him. By doing this, you will roll underneath him and his dashing slash AND NOT GET HIT. YOU SHOULD BE CLOSE ENOUGH AFTER ROLLING, TO HIT HIM 4 TIMES. DO THIS AND THEN REPEAT THE DODGE ROLL PROCESS. HE WILL ALSO USE HIS INSANE OMNISLASH TYPE MOVE ON YOU. NOW YOU CAN BLOCK THIS SUCKER. RIGHT WHEN SEPH CHARGES AT YOU WITH THIS MOVE, HIT SQUARE RIGHT AWAY TO BLOCK THE SLASH. COUNT THREE OF THE SLASHES HE DOES THEN HIT SQUARE AGAIN. DO THIS 4 TIMES THEN RUN AWAY FROM HIM. WHEN HE USES THE GROUND SLASH DODGE ROLL TO THE SIDE WHEN YOU SEE THE ENERGY WAVE. REPEAT THESE THREE PROCESSES OVER AND OVER AGAIN TIL HE GETS TO HIS 3RD FORM. Summary of Strat 2: WHENEVER SEPH USES SIN FERNAL, SUPERGLIDE TOWARD HIM THEN SLASH HIM 4 TIMES. Keep a distance from Seph. When he vanishes and reappears behind you, quickly dodge roll toward him to evade his slash and him. You should be close enough, so hit him 4 times. Block right away when he starts his Omnislash type move, count three of the slashes he does After 4 blocks, run away from him and DODGE ROLL to the side when you see the energy wave coming at you. Repeat these three processes over and over again. USE CURE PROCESS WHENEVER NEEDED 3.Strat for 3rd and Final form: Now Seph is pissed and use his mighty power on you. He now has a tornado type slash and his ordinary dashing slash. He also has his Omnislash type move and Sin Fernal. HE ALSO HAS A METEOR MOVE WHICH TAKES A HELLUVA LOT OF HP AWAY FROM YOU. WHEN SEPH CHARGES TOWARD YOU HIT SQUARE WHEN HE IS NEAR YOU. YOU SHOULD HAVE BLOCKED HIS TORNADO SLASH. Quickly run up to him and slash him four times. Use the same strategy used for his second form. For his METEOR MOVE, let the comets hit you to restore your MP. JUST KEEP CURING SO YOU HAVE ENOUGH HP TO SURVIVE THE BIG METEOR. CURE AGAIN RIGHT AFTER IT HITS. Summary of Strat 3:USE ALL THE PROCESSES USED IN ALL THE STRATEGIES FOR HIS OTHER TWO FORMS. REPEATEDLY CURE WHEN HE STARTS THE METEOR MOVE. KEEP A HIGH AMOUNT OF HP TO SURVIVE THE BIG METEOR See? My strategy is different, confusing, and hard. Hey..works for me. TOOK ME AN HOUR OR SO TO COOK UP MY OWN STRATEGY TO BEAT SEPHY. But I didn't need to use any Aero and its forms...or any elixirs. I had to rely on Cura the entire time. Later on when I beat him after and had Curaga..it helped better. Thanks for your time. Ice Titan - The Gold match after the Hades Cup //**Stradegy for Ice Titan**\\ Submitted By: Heyer Valice He launches a bunch of ice crystals at you during the fight. You have to have Sora bat them back at him. It's best to roll around while he does any other attack, and just keep hitting him with his own ice shards. Eventually, he falls to his knees for a time, where you can actually start hitting him with things like Ragnarok. Also, you cant use Aero. Phantom - Go to the clock tower in Neverland after locking Hollow Bastion //**Boss Stradegy for Phantom!**\\ Submitted by: Teardrop Samurai Use magic corrosponding to the color. For example, if you see a yellow ball, use Thunder. A red one, use Fire. Also, when Doom is counting down, target the Doom Clock and cast stop on it. Kurt Ziza - Talk to the carpet in Alladin's House after unlocking Hollow Bastion. //**Boss Stradegy for Kurt Ziza**\\ Submitted By: honorable dragon after talking to the carpet in aladins house and combat esures with kurt zisa, immediately cast aero, kurt places a spell on your party preventing ANY spell casting, in his first stage of attack is simple jumping around and using a slashing attack, when hes not doing these, attack the orbs in his hands, when both are destroyed, he sinks down and allows you to hit his bobbing head, after sustaining good damage, kurt gets up and moves in to his second mode, a big barrier that envelopes him, this time only magic with hurt him, so take his barrier down with magic and he will sink again. do a little more damage on him and he will get up and repeat his first set of attacks, only this time he is faster and doesnt allow a lot of time to attack his orbs like last time, and along with his previous attacks, now he will go airbourne and attack from there as well in the form of a vertical or horizontal spinning attacks that dash at you, the best way to dodge them is to dodge roll, for the vertical spinning, roll to the left or the right, for the horizontal, roll towards him right when hes baout to hit you, repeat this strategy till the big agrabah weapon is down for the count. ---------------------------------- V. Secret Cavern in Traverse Town ---------------------------------- To get the secret Cavern in Traverse, you need to have a red trinity. Go to the Red Trinity in the Alleyway, and you will crash through the bars. This place leads to where you can talk to Leon(or Squall) and Aeris. Later, much later, in the game, you will need to go here to aquire a certain item which I do not want to spoil. Later in the game,(spoiler) it is a critical place where you meet Kairi, so it is a secret until that point, really. -------------- VI.Expert Mode -------------- At the beggining of the game, you can choose Expert mode as the diffuculty setting. If you pick the sword at the begining of the game, it is considered "Ultra Hard". When you beat expert mode on any setting (sword/sheild/rod) you can see your overall statistics and some art. Pretty cool. -------------------------- VII. Gummi Ship Blueprints -------------------------- I, personally, hate the Gummi Ship, but heres some cool blueprints. Gepetto is the man inside Monstro the whale, and you cannot talk to him until later. Kingdom - Default Hyperion - Defeat 5000 heartless, learn all summons and talk to Gepetto Gepetto - Complete the Monstro world and talk to him Cid - Defeat 500 heartless and talk to Gepetto Leon - Defeat 4000 heartless and talk to Gepetto Yuffie - Defeat 1500 heartless and talk to Gepetto Aerith - Defeat 3000 heartless and talk to Gepetto Cactuar - Defeat 1000 heartless and talk to Gepetto Chocobo - Enter and leave Gepetto's house 30 times, and go in and talk to Pinnochio to get it. If you don't get it, leave and talk to him again, and do it until you have it. For these blueprints, you get them for defeating the corrusponding blueprint for the enemy you kill. For exaple, when you fly the Gummi ship, if you shoot out a 'CINDY' , you will have the Cindy Blueprint. Not everything has one of these blueprints thought. Cindy Bomb Ifirit Shiva Remora Odin Lamia Ahriman Otomos Sandy Imp Golem Sylph Siren Diablos Carbuncle Stingray Deathguis Mindy Catoblepas Typoon Goblin Adamant Alexander Leviathan Ramuh OMEGA Also, when you have gotten all of the 99 puppies, go to the Dalmation house and you get a huge collection of Gummi Ship Blue Prints. //**Buy and Sell Gummi Ship Parts**\\ Submitted By: ZidaneTribal Cid will Buy and Sell Gummi parts once you : Beat Cerberus Lock Wonderland Lock Deep Jungle Lock Traverse Town ------------------------------ VIII. Locating Synthesis Items ------------------------------ Here are the Item's and the monsters that drop them. To identify monsters, use the Journal. Bright Shard - Green requiem Blaze Shard - Red Nocturne Frost Shard - Blue Rhapsody Thuder Shard - Yellow Opera Mythril Shard - Barrel Spider, Behemoth, pot spider, Power Shard - Bouncywild, powerwild Spirit Shard - Large Body, soldier, Lucid Shard - Shadow Blaze Gem - Bandit, fat bandit Frost Gem - Sea Neon, Sheltering Zone Thunder Gem - Aquatank, Screwdiver Spirit Gem - Air Soldier Mythril - Angel Star, Behemoth Bright Gem - Search Ghost Power Gem - Air pirate, battle ship, pirate Lucid Gem - Gargoyle, Wight Knight Bright Crystal - Defender Lucid Crystal - Darkball Mystery Goo - Rare Truffle Power Crystal - Wyvern Shiny Crystal - Wizard, Orichalcum - Behemoth, Invisible Bright Crystal - Defender Gale - Angel Star, Invisible //**Rare Truffles**\\ Submitted By: flipside I recently discovered a very effecient way to level up and get items at the same time involving rare truffles. I'd write my own faq but I really don't want to deal with it so I'll let you do the honors if you consider it worth mentioning. If you need mystery goo, power gems, elixers, megalixers, and experience, you want to fight rare truffles (those blue shrooms that jump around a lot). A word on fighting rare truffles, the best place to combo them is in Neverland on the deck of the ship. The reasons for this is simple, Sora can fly, and the rare truffles appear fairly often, I went there originally looking for power gems but somehow ended up getting more mystery goo than power gems. I like it better than the end of the world because they appear often and require less skill to juggle. I think they appear more often after Hollow Bastion but you can start right after Neverland. My usual path to get them to respawn was to go back and forth from the cabin save point to the deck of the ship. Simply go onto the deck, start flying, pick your target, and start hitting. The best part is that all you have to worry about is pressing X, because Sora will stay right under the truffle. The key to success is to time the hits so you get into a rhythem at which point you just start going up while juggling the truffle. Now unfortunately it is hard to control which way the truffles go so they will often land on the rigging, in a crows nest, or your keyblade will simply hit something else and fail to connect. This isn't that big of a problem though because there are 4 truffles each time. Once you manage to make it above the rigging which will be after 20-30 hits depending on where you start, it's smooth sailing and all you have to do is pay attention to how high you hit the truffle. I usually elected to do one hit at a time as I felt most comfortable with this technique, but you can also time a 2 hit combo that is a bit faster. A good tactic is switching techniques to change the truffles direction if your near an obstacle. The two easiest truffles to juggle are at the front and rear of the ship since you are least likely to run into the rigging. Once you get good at it, you can usually juggle 2/4 of them all the way up to 100. As a final note, as to why truffle juggling is so great, you get MASSIVE experience points the longer you juggle. For those of you who like math, here's a nice formula to remember, the total experience gained from juggling a truffle can be calculated with n(n+1)/2 where n is the number of hits. If you make it all the way up to 100 hits, guess what, that's 5050 exp! This beats fighting the rock and ice titan's any day becasue you'll also get 2 elixers, 1 mega-elixer, and 2 mystery goos (and come on, who doesn't like mystery goo). Let me know if you wanna use this within a couple days, otherwise I'm gonna submit it to someone else. btw, you don't have to use what i wrote. //**White Mushrooms**\\ Submitted by: erickei Clearing the tent area, then the Bamboo Thicket, then the Cliff will ALWAYS result in all 3 areas respawning (keep doing them in that order). Particularly after Locking Hollow Bastion, this is an excellent place to power up and get rare items, even if the white shrooms don't show up. You fight Powerwilds (power gems), Wizards, Darkballs, Wyverns, and the little green wizards...and unlike HB, no Defenders! ^_^ So you can easily rack up the Bright, Lucid, and Shiny Crystals...and the occasional staff for Donald from the Wizards... //**Rare Truffles**\\ Submitted by: Nick Easiest way to get shrooms- 1. Got to Halloween town 2. Go to graveyard 3. Destroy every monster there-make sure no monster is left 4. Go to the cat statue thingie-examine it 5. Kill all enemies here (note-can be black mushrooms here) 6. Make sure no monster is left 7. Take same route back to the graveyard 8. You should find mushrooms there 9. When done with mushrooms, save, and repeat to your hearts content You can find these Item's,and their location is here. Under construction. ------------------------ IX. 99 Dalmation Puppies ------------------------ Upon getting these puppies, check in frequently to the Dalmation House to receive Item's From them.

Neverland Clocktower (Big Ben) Item List by Kythlyn FACTS There are many doors on the clocktower, 12 of which have items inside.The doors will open one at a time depending on how long you have been playing.If you've been playing for less than 12 hours, then the number of hours represents which door will open.If you've been playing for more than 12 hours, then subtract 12 hours from your total hours played to predict which door will open.The same goes for 24, 36, etc.A light will be visable in front of the current door with an item. Examine it.Once you get the item, that light will move down to the appropriate hour on the clock.After getting through Hallow Bastion for the FIRST time, a boss will be at the Clocktower, and you will not be able to get the items. The following item list was based on items found in Expert Mode.I have not yet confirmed whether or not the items vary based on difficulty. 01:00 - Orichalcum 02:00 - Power Up 03:00 - Mythril Shard 04:00 - Power Up 05:00 - Ap Up 06:00 - Mythril 07:00 - AP up 08:00 - Defense Up 09:00 - Orichalcum 10:00 - Defense Up 11:00 - Mythril Shard 12:00 - Megalixer ----------------------- XIX. Leveling Up Tricks ----------------------- Sacrificing and Keeping Items This info was sent in by highwind002/Honorable Dragon Email HIM any questions for this part in Stars, k? His email is: honorabledragon@yahoo.com ***************************************************** I am feeling typy so i will also put the starting stats for which weapon you pick and sacrifice. To put this simply, when you Keep or Sacrificing Item's at the beggining of the game, it determines how you will level up. Keep Sacrifice HP MP AP STR DEF Sword Shield 18 2 3 6 1 Sword Staff 18 2 1 6 2 Shield Staff 18 2 1 5 4 Shield Sword 18 2 3 4 4 Staff Shield 18 3 3 5 1 Staff Sword 18 3 3 3 3 To make this simply, when Wakka, Tidus, and Selphie ask you the questions, it determines how fast you level up. Theres a mulitude of availiable answers but to keep it simple heres what you say for what.Answer all the questions with the first answer and you will level up fast until level 40.Answer all the questions with the second answer and you will have a normal level up pace.Answer all the questions with the third answer and you will level up at a slower pace until level 40. ***************************************************** --|Destiny Islands|-- Yes, it's very possible to stock up on supplies, and gain levels on the Destiny Islands. I've heard of some people leaving at level 16, but I don't have that much patients. When you gain a higher "score" than Riku, you will receive a potion, and some 'Pretty Stones'. RIKU |Battle Riku| Experience : 5 Tech Points : 1 At first, since most people on the Destiny Islands are first starting out, it's not as easy to fight him, since: A. He is cheap(knocking you off the sides) B. He has more life/power/techniques/ect. C. It takes some time to beat him. It's best to fight him once you are sure you are good at fighting. When you block his techniques, you get 1 TECH POINT, and if you manage to defeat him, you get a potion if your "score" is higher than his. To block his techniqus, strike right before he strikes you, resulting that your two wood pieces hit, making a successfull block. Racing Riku: The race is easy. When Kairi calls the whistle, don't follow Riku, no matter what. I have a route to take that has yet to make me fail, and it's not hard, either. When the race begins, go off the edge right of the broken bridge(yes you heard right). Go straight through the water onto the sand, and up the stairs. From here, go straight and you will drop, and go straight through the water. Go up the hill, jump on the platforms up to the Star, and jump down between the trees. Go straight to the right of the ract, and back where you came(left of the cave) and about a foot before you hit the wall, jump(in proportion of the game). Go down the stairs, through the water, and jump up and you have won the race. The only place you might have trouble is jumping up those ledges. Otherwise, it's the bets route I have found. Tidus, Selphie, and Wakka |Tidus| Experience : 2 Tech Points : 2, if you block his back flip strike Tidus is not that hard. He does a flip strike that will give you 2 Tech points if you block it, and once you learn how to catch him with this, its the best way to get tech points. Now for the easiest way.... |Wakka| Experience : 2 Tech Points : 1P for a regular throw, 2 for special The only reason this is not the best way is because it's easy to kill Wakka when you block his shots, because they fly right back at him most of the time. When he throws the ball, time it right, and you can smack it back at him. For begginers. |Selphie| Experience : 1 Tech Points : 1 There is not much use to fight her, other than learn how she fights when you fight all 3 of them. You get one tech point to block her whip, and it can be confusing. //**For people with patients**\\ Submitted by: Trealvyn_the_paladin Hi, I read your faq on telling how to level up at Destiny Islands and read how fighting Selphie isn't real good exp. Well, it is. In fact, in my opinion, she is the best one. She will do this leaping attack and automaticly hit you with the jump rope. If you counter in, then you will get 1 tech. But when you counter it, the jumprope will come back and hit her head, leaving you with one extra tech. She will keep on doing the same attack until you either mess up, get hit, or hit her. And the best thing is, SHE CAN NOT DIE FROM IT! Although it will get her hp down terribly low. I got to lvl 10 by doing this. |Fighting All 3 of them| Experience : None Tech Points : Same as above Item : Potion This, over all, can be tough. I recommend taking out Tidus, then Selphie, then Wakka. When Wakka is the last one, it'll be like child's play once you have learned how to hit his attacks back. OTHER STRADEGIES TO USE This was submitted by CrazyCubeMonkey: After you reach level 40 your rate of leveling up reverses. The slow becomes fast, the fast becomes slow, and moderate stays the same. So it's actually best to level up slowly at the beginning because it takes about 100,000 less xp total to reach level 100. YJM's way to level up! Before sealing Hollow Bastion, the quickest way to level up is to fight Leon and Yuffie in the Pegasus Cup. Win the Pegasus Cup, then win again with Sora alone, then beat the time trial (3:00). Now you can choose to go straight to the Leon and Yuffie fight. I would suggest removing all items from Donald and Goofy since this is an easy fight and you don't want them wasting your stuff. You'll get 700 exp. each time you win. After your first visit to Hollow Bastion, the Hades Cup becomes available. Win the cup and beat the time trial (20:00) to choose your fights. I find that Behemoth, Hades, and the Rock Titan are all easy fights worth lots of experience. If you're good, you can beat up the Ice Titan in the Gold Match for 4,000 exp. plus 28 for each icicle you deflect back at him. Beat the Hades Cup once to unlock the Gold Match. Then there's the Platinum Match...18,000 exp. Are you good enough to face the One Winged Angel (I listen to that song daily...so cool)? Darkside20's Stradegy: Hey, I learned through trying to get all the synthesis items to get the ultima, just need two more goos and can't seem to cast the right spells, but i learned a good way to level up is simply to stay in the hotel, battle the defenders, there are three there, then take out the wizards, go through the red room, into the green, defeat whatever is there, go back to the red room and into the hall, and repeat till you reach a satisfactory level. Right now I am at level 68. Which is also probably because I keep going to Atlantica to see if there are the truffles in the cave and as i go back and forth from the palace, i fight everything, and eventually level up. And a good way to take out those huge jelly fish that when hit enough but not kill burst into small ones, is to nail them with a barage of firagas. Well.. that's the tip. -DarthSid20 Submit your Leveling Up Stradegy's! chrono_corp@yahoo.com ____________________________________ /____________________________________\ / Section 3 - Other Stuff \ \ ____________________________________ / \____________________________________/ ------------------------ I.Final Notes and Thanks ------------------------ This FAQ is BY FAR not complete, but if you have any additional information you want to submit, then do so.I am open for suggestions and realize my FAQ may not be perfect.
