Welcome!
In this guide, I will give a full walkthrough of the Birth By Sleep game, as
well as a reference guide for some of the most useful information (including
the rather complicated command melding system). I played on the hardest

difficulty setting, and intentionally kept my level low to keep things
challenging, so the strategies here should work in any situation =).
I made the guide originally from the Japanese edition of the game, but I hav
e
been scrambling to update it for the international release, and it should be
ready by now. In particular, all the names and places have been translated
correctly. My data on a couple of the new features is a little sketchy, but I
will be updating that as fast as I can.
Now, let me just say just more one thing: this game is fantastic, so get ready
for a great time!

======================================================
=========================
[WLK:P0] Prologue: Beginning a new game
======================================================
=========================
There are a few important setup decisions you should think about before yo
u
even begin a new game:
1. Data install: Birth by Sleep pushes the limits of the PSP a little bit, and
this leads to pretty long loading times and even to gameplay slow-down.
To
minimize these annoyances, I strongly recommend doing a FULL DAT
A INSTALL
before playing.
2. Difficulty: Like in other Kingdom Hearts games, you will have to choose
a
difficulty mode when you begin, and your choice will affect what you nee
d to
do in order to watch the secret ending. Here are the specifics:
Beginner: You deal 50% more damage, and take only half damage.
The secret ending is IMPOSSIBLE to unlock.
Standard: You deal and receive normal damage.
The secret ending is unlocked by completing the Final Episode
and the Reports section. You will have to find every enemy,
ability, sticker, and treasure, and also complete every
mini-game with each character. That is not an easy task!
Proud: You deal normal damage, but take double damage.

The secret ending is unlocked by completing the Final Episode.
Critical: You deal half damage, you earn fewer HP throughout the game,
and
you take double damage, but you begin with two extra deck
command slots. You also begin with the Zero EXP ability which
you can use to make things even more challenging.
The secret ending is unlocked by completing the Final Episode.
If you play on different difficulty modes with different characters, the

secret ending requirements will be based on the lowest difficulty mode yo
u
used.
In practice, the true difficulty is also hugely dependent on your level. So

even if you pick a harder mode than you would normally be comfortable w
ith,
you should be able to level up more to compensate.
3. CPU speed: After playing for a few minutes in the tutorial, you will unloc
k
the Config menu. I strongly recommend going there and switching the CP
U
speed from 222MHz to 333MHz. This will decrease your battery life a litt
le
bit, but it will really help prevent gameplay slowdown.
Both data install and CPU speed can be adjusted later of course, but difficul
ty
level is a one-time decision.
======================================================
=========================
[WLK:P1] Prologue: Tutorial
======================================================
=========================
The game begins with a short in-game tutorial where you control Ven, a bo
y who
looks remarkably similar to Roxas. (If you haven't played the other games in
the series, Roxas was a major character in Kingdom Hearts 2 and 358/2 Days
.) I
will start the tutorial section by listing all treasure chests that can be
found here:
+--TREASURE CHESTS------------------------------------------------------------
+
| SLIDING DASH: Mountain Path, on a ledge |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
As you can see, there is only one chest (and you cannot possibly miss it), bu
t
I will include a similar list at the beginning of each future world you go to
as well. I think you might find these lists to be a helpful reference in case
you miss a chest on your own, or in case you are looking for one specific
reward.
Forecourt:
----------
In the first area, you are introduced to jumping (press O) and moving (use th
e
analog stick). You can also rotate the camera with L and R. When you are r
eady,
move forward to the Mountain Path area.
Mountain Path:
--------------
Here you will need to show off some basic combat moves. First do a three-h
it
combo on the nearby ring ornament. (Walk up to it and keep pressing X.) If
you
did it right, some green HP balls will fall out, and you will be directed to
the next set of ornaments. For these, you will need to use a battle command.
Select a command you like in the bottom-left menu (use the up and down bu
ttons
to navigate the menu), and then press Triangle to use it. Commands allow yo
u to
do advanced attacks, but there is a cooldown period between when you use
a
command and when you can use it again. After hitting an ornament in this w
ay,
the whole contraption will start to spin. Target one of the ornaments with th
e
L+R buttons to complete this part of the tutorial.
A chest will now appear on the ledge halfway up the Trail. Go up to it and
open
it with X to get the SLIDING DASH battle command. If you want, you can
now go
into the Menu (press Start) and replace one of your current battle commands
with Sliding Dash. This is optional though - if you prefer to just get on with
the game, you can do that too. Head onwards to the Summit area when you
are
ready.
Summit:
-------
After a cutscene, you will be given a WAYFINDER by Aqua.
You will now have to go through some more basic battle training using the o
ther
main characters. First you control Terra. Press Square while holding still to
block an attack by Ven. Next you need to hit Ven back with a finish comma
nd.
Keep attacking normally until your Command Gauge is filled up. With this
gauge
full, your next attack will be a powerful finish command. Hit Ven with it to
continue.
You're not done yet though. With Aqua, press and hold L+R to use a Shotlo
ck
ability against Ven. Keep the screen focused on him to queue up a lot of
attacks, and then press X to unleash. Shotlocks are limit attacks that do a lot
of damage and make you invincible while they are going off, but the catch i
s
you are vulnerable while queuing up targets. They will end up being one of
the
strongest attacks in your arsenal, especially later in the game once you have
leveled a Shotlock up all the way.
Okay, you are now almost done. All that's left is for you to have a proper
sparring match with one of the main characters against another one. So choo
se
anyone you want and have fun. It doesn't matter if you win or lose - this is
just for practice. After you are done with sparring, head over to the nearby
save point and save the game. Congratulations, you have completed the tutor
ial!
No three-hour tutorial marathons this time!
Character Selection:
--------------------
You will now have to choose one of the three characters to control. Each
character has his or her own interconnected story, and you will need to do al
l
of them to finish the game properly. Right now, you are deciding where to
begin:
Terra: Strong but a little slow, Terra specializes in earth magic and in
darkness-based melee attacks.
Ven: The opposite of Terra, Ven is fast but physically weak, specializing i
n
wind and light magic.
Aqua: Aqua is a pure magic specialist.
Once you have made your decision, you will be given a new save game for t
hat
character. DO NOT OVERWRITE THIS SAVE GAME when you switch cha
racters!
You can do the three stories in whatever order you want (or even do some at
the
same time, although I don't recommend that), but this guide will be written i
n
the order Terra -> Ven -> Aqua, which is what series creator Tetsuya Nomu
ra
recommended for story purposes. Terra's story might be the hardest though,
so
choose whichever order you want!
======================================================
=========================
[WLK:P2] Prologue: How the walkthrough is organized
======================================================
=========================
Alright, ready to go?
Well, first let me explain a little bit about how I organize the walkthrough
sections. For each world, I will begin with a section that looks like this:
+--TREASURE CHESTS------------------------------------------------------------
+
| ... |
+--STICKERS-------------------------------------------------------------------+
| ... |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| PRIZE PODS: ... |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
You should be able to use this as a quick reference to find everything of

interest in the world. I hope this will be a very useful reference if you are
going for full Reports completion, or if you are going for the secret movie o
n
Normal difficulty.
My list will always start with treasure chests, listed in the same order as ho
w
they appear in your Reports. This means you should be able to quickly look
up
the location and contents of any chest you are missing. My descriptions will
usually be in terms of compass directions. These directions might not mean
much to you at first, but you will get a map for each world, and that should
make the directions a lot easier to follow.
Sickers are crown-shaped emblems that you can find lying around each worl
d.
They are often in fairly difficult to reach areas, so you should not expect to
be able to reach them all until late in the game when you have all your
mobility upgrades. Open the Arrange Stickers section of your Reports to pla
y
with anything you have found, and get some nice prizes. See Section COL:S
T for
more information.
Now, on to Prize Pods. These guys are rare "enemies" that fly around withou
t
attacking. Every time you hit one of them, it will drop an ice cream
ingredient. Which ingredient you get depends on which world you are in. O
nce
you reach Disney Town, you will be able to trade these ingredients in for
prizes, including one of the best Keyblades in the game. See the Ice Cream
Shop
Section (COL:IS) for more details. In the meantime, remember to keep an ey
e out
for these guys! When fighting them, I recommend using Magnet and damag
e over
time spells like Poison.
Note: In most worlds, the Prize Pods only show up sometimes. If you do not
see
them even when you are in the right place, leave the area and come back unt
il
they appear. However, after you see the Prize Pods in a world once, they wil
l
not reappear until you leave the entire world.
Finally, I will sometimes have a MISCELLANEOUS section next to the

PRIZE PODS
section. This corresponds to extra optional bonuses that you can get above a
nd
beyond everything else. I just separate them out so you won't miss them.
Okay, that's everything. Good hunting!

=========================
[WLK:T0] Terra's Story: Land of Departure
======================================================
=========================
The real story begins with Terra and Aqua attempting the Mark of Mastery t
est.
Right away, there is a problem though:
+-BOSS FIGHT: LIGHT ORBS----------------------------------------------------

--+
| Reward: HP BOOST, CRITICAL IMPACT COMMAND STYLE
|
| |
| These guys have two attacks: |
| |
| Attack 1: Fly back and forth damaging you if you are close. This does not
|
| do much damage. |
| Attack 2: Slowly sweep lasers in the area around it. |
| |
| The only real trick for this fight is to use fast attacks because the orbs |
| move around so much. For Terra, this means basic X attacks are usually
|
| better than battle commands. If an orb uses the laser attack, back off |
| until it is done. |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
The main reward for winning this battle is the Critical Impact command styl
e.
After filling up your Command Gauge with at least one or two uses of a batt
le
command, you will now switch styles instead of using your basic finisher. A
s
the game goes on, you will find other finish commands and other command
styles as well. Which finisher you use is chosen in the out-of-combat menu,
but
which command style you get is determined by what kinds of battle comma
nds you
used right before-hand.
Anyway, once the Light Orbs are down, there will be another cutscene and t
hen
off you go! As an additional reward for clearing the Land of Departure, you
will gain access to the KEYBLADE BOARD, which you can try out any tim
e you
like. (See the Command Board Section MIN:CB for more information.) You
will
also get the VEN and AQUA D-LINKS.
Using D-Links will temporarily change your battle commands and finish c
ommand.
D-Links are actually very strong in the first half of the game, so don't forget
to use them! In particular, USING A D-LINK WILL HEAL YOU COMPLE

TELY! Bear this
in mind since the Cure spell can only be attained during the first world via
the Command Board (and it will probably take a few tries). The Aqua D-Lin
k is
especially useful since she has Cura from the start.
======================================================
=========================
[WLK:T1] Terra's Story: Enchanted Dominion
======================================================
=========================
With the Land of Departure cleared, you will find yourself in space on your
Keyblade bike. Only one new world will be accessible for now, so head ove
r
there. It is the Enchanted Dominion. If you have not already read Section
WLK:P2, now would be a good time to take a look. It will help you underst
and
the information I provide for each world:
+--TREASURE CHESTS------------------------------------------------------------
+
| POTION: Waterside, South end |
| PULSING CRYSTAL: Waterside, West side (halfway through the room)
|
| BLIZZARD: Forest Clearing, Southeast corner |
| ZERO GRAVITY: Audience Chamber, Northwest corner
|
| ETHER: Audience Chamber, West side by the stairs |
| POTION: Audience Chamber, Southeast corner |
| ETHER: Hallway, Northeast corner |
| MAP: Aurora's Chamber, Southeast corner |
| SLEEP: Tower Room, Southwest corner |
| ATTACK RECIPE: Tower Room, Northwest corner |
+--STICKERS-------------------------------------------------------------------+
| HUEY STICKER: Audience Chamber, Center high in the air. Jump and air s
lide |
| over from the top of the airs - you will probably need to |
| push Square three times (requires High Jump, Air Slide, Sonic |
| Impact). |
| FLYING BALLOON STICKER: Tower Room, West side
|
| BALLOON STICKER: Forest Clearing, Southwest corner |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| PRIZE PODS: (BIJOU BEAN and ROSE HONEY)
|
| At the north end of the Waterside area, after you have been past the |
| Bridge at least once. If they do not appear right away, leave the area |
| and come back. |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
As soon as you land in the Enchanted Dominion, you will be thrust into a fo
rced
battle against the Unversed. If Terra is your first character, you might find
this a little challenging. There are three things you should be using regularly
to give yourself an edge:
- Shotlocks. Press L+R. You are vulnerable when charging but other than th
at,
Shotlocks are the strongest and safest attacks in the game.
- D-Links, especially with Aqua so that you can use her Cure ability. Press
right on the directional pad to switch to the D-Link menu.

- Critical Impact and/or finish commands. These are activated whenever yo
ur
Command Gauge fills up. Which one you get depends on whether you ha
ve been
using battle commands or just attacking.
You can only use Shotlocks when your Focus Gauge is full, and you can onl
y use
D-Links when your D-Link Gauge is full, but don't worry: these bars both fil
l
up fast. Also, you probably want to level up your D-Links, and you can only
do
that by using them!
For the rest of the world, you will be able to pick and choose your fights. I
recommend being pretty thorough though, both in terms of picking up chests
(see
the list I gave above) and killing enemies. The first boss is nasty, and it
will help if you have gained a few levels. If you want a challenge, you can
deliberately keep your level low, but don't blame me if you find it hard!
Begin by following the Unversed to the Bridge where you will meet Malefic
ent.
From there, enter the castle and climb up to Aurora's Chamber. After a
cutscene, you will be given the MALEFICENT D-LINK. Get the chests here
and in
the Tower Room, and then head back to the Audience Chamber to meet Terr
a's
first real boss!
+--BOSS FIGHT: WHEEL MASTER----------------------------------------------

-----+
| HP: 400 (200 for each arm), Strength: 7, Defense: 3 |
| Status effect vulnerabilities: Ignite, Poison |
| Elemental weaknesses: 150% damage from fire |
| Elemental resistances: None |
| Reward: DECK COMMAND SLOT, DIAMOND DUST COMMAND STYLE
|
| |
| It's the evil spinning wheel of doom! He's also pretty hard, so get ready. |
| In particular, it would be a good idea to have some sort of healing |
| available. If you have not already gotten Cure from the Command Board
|
| mini-game, your best option is to equip a Potion or max out your D-Link
|
| Gauge so that you can use that. Aqua is always a good choice, but Ven wor
ks |
| too. |
| |
| The Wheel Master starts with the following attacks: |
| |
| Attack 1: Jump into the air and land with a shockwave. You can avoid this
|
| by jumping so that you are in the air when he lands, or just by |
| being far away. |
| Attack 2: Take a long windup and then throw his wheel at you. Slide is a
|
| good way to avoid this. Afterwards, the wheel will just lie on |
| the ground, and the Wheel Master won't be able to attack you |
| with anything other than the jump until he picks it up again. |
| Use this opportunity to hit him back! |
| Attack 3: Charge up his grapple hand, and then shoot a thread at you. If |
| you get hit, mash X to break free. In the meantime, you will |
| take damage and be sucked in. Use Block to avoid this attack, or |
| just stay far away. |
| Attack 4: Swing his arms in a circle, hitting you if you are close. Just |
| stay out of range. |
| |
| During this phase, the safest options are either to go in for quick jump |
| attacks after each jump by the Wheel Master, backing off if he attacks, or |
| you can be patient and wait for him to throw his wheel before going in. At
|
| some point, he will fall over and drop HP balls. Keep hitting him! |
| |
| Eventually, the Wheel Master will get mad, glowing purple and damaging y
ou |
| if you are nearby. He will then start regularly charging towards you. This |
| is fast and very painful, so you will want to block it. Just remember that |
| Block doesn't last forever, so if the Wheel Master charges past you, let go |
| of Block, and then press it again when he comes back. Also be sure you hav
e|
| him targeted with L+R during this time. Block only works if you are facing
|
| the enemy, but L+R keeps you facing the right way. |
| |
| Other than the charge, the fight stays the same as before, so keep up with |
| the same strategy. |

| |
| If you are having trouble, remember to set yourself up so you can heal. And
|
| also be sure to use Shotlocks and Critical Impact where possible. Good |
| luck! |
| |
| By the way, you can destroy the wheel and the spindle separately from the
|
| boss, but I don't recommend going out of your way to do so. |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
As a reward, you will get a Deck Command Slot, which lets you equip anoth
er
battle command, and the Diamond Dust command style, which is an alternat
ive to
Critical Impact, activated by using lots of cold attacks. You will also get the
FAIRY STARS KEYBLADE. I recommend sticking with your old Keyblade
though -
strength is more important than magic for Terra.
Before moving onto the next world, you might want to briefly return to the
Waterside area to try your hand at the Prize Pods. Don't worry about the Hu
ey
Sticker that you are missing - you will need to come back for that.
======================================================
=========================
[WLK:TI] Terra's Story: Interlude
======================================================
=========================
With the Enchanted Dominion clear, you will now have a choice of where t
o go
next. The map points out two major story worlds that you can go to: the Cast
le
of Dreams and the Dwarf Woodlands.
Here are some other things you can do at any point:

- Go back to the Land of Departure and pick up the four chests that are
there.
- Go to the Mirage Arena (the far left world) and try entering a tournament.
Most likely you will lose at this stage, but it's still fun.
- Play a round on the Command Board (see Section MIN:CB). This optiona
l
mini-game gives you a few abilities that you cannot easily get in other
ways, and it also helps level up whatever abilities you already have.
- Synthesize some new abilities with command melding (see Section COL
:CM). In
addition to upgrading your commands, this gives you some very handy pa
ssive
abilities that cannot be gotten in any other way.
======================================================
=========================
[WLK:T2] Terra's Story: Land of Departure
======================================================
=========================
+--TREASURE CHESTS------------------------------------------------------------
+
| PULSING CRYSTAL: Mountain Path, Near the top exit |
| HI-POTION: Mountain Path, Near the top exit |
| STOP: Mountain Path, Near the bottom exit |
| SOOTHING CRYSTAL: Summit, Near the flags |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
The only thing to do here is to pick up the chests in areas you explored duri
ng
the tutorial.
======================================================
=========================
[WLK:T3] Terra's Story: Castle of Dreams
======================================================
=========================
+--TREASURE CHESTS------------------------------------------------------------
+
| THUNDERSTORM: The Chateau, Southeast corner |
| PULSING CYSTAL: Palace Courtyard, Northeast corner next to the stairs
|
| WELLSPRING CRYSTAL: Palace Courtyard, Northwest corner past the stair
s |
| SLOW: Palace Courtyard, Southeast corner |
| MAP: Palace Courtyard, West side |
| FLEETING CRYSTAL: Ballroom, Balcony (come through the Antechamber)
|
| STRIKE RAID: Foyer, West side |
| POTION: Foyer, Under the balcony just east of the stairs |
| HI-POTION: Foyer, Northwest corner |
| SOOTHING CRYSTAL: Foyer, Southeast corner of the top balcony
|
| THUNDER: Antechamber, Southeast corner |
+--STICKERS-------------------------------------------------------------------+
| FLYING BALLOON STICKER: Passage, West side high in the air (requires
High |
| Jump) |
| TRAFFIC CONE STICKER: The Chateau, Southeast corner
|
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| PRIZE PODS: (BIRTHDAY CAKE and CRYSTAL SUGAR)
|
| In the middle of the pool in the Place Courtyard, after clearing a group |
| of Red Hot Chilis. If more Red Hot Chilis appear instead of the Prize |
| Pods, leave the area and come back. |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Like the Enchanted Dominion, this world begins with a mandatory battle aga
inst
the Unversed. Once that is taken care of, head southeast towards The Chatea
u to
pick up Thunderstorm and the Traffic Cone Sticker. Then go back north tow
ards
the Palace Courtyard and meet Cinderella by the large staircase.
+--BOSS FIGHT: CINDERELLA ESCORT---------------------------------------

-------+
| Reward: COUNTER HAMMER |
| |
| You have to escort Cinderella through two large rooms that are swarming
|
| with Unversed, and just when you start to get things under control, she is |
| going to run on ahead and get attacked more. Good luck! |

| |
| The main threat here is to Cinderella, not to you, so make sure all your |
| battle commands are offensive in nature. In particular, disabling abilities |
| like Sleep, Stop and Slow are good to give you some time in difficult |
| fights. Cold abilities are also good because using them will activate the |
| extremely powerful Diamond Dust command style. (I used Blizzard Edge,
which |
| can be charged from Quick Blitz and Blizzard.) |
| |
| While the escort is going on, you will sometimes get the option to press |
| Square to block Cinderella from an attack. This is almost always good to do
|
| if you get the chance, but you can't rely on it completely. Attacks will |
| eventually come too fast and not give you a chance to counter. The key is
|
| to be aggressive, using strong battle commands early and often, and |
| hopefully spending a lot of your time in Diamond Dust form. If you ever
|
| clear all visible enemies, IMMEDIATELY run ahead of Cinderella until mor
e |
| enemies appear. If you can get them to attack you instead of her, that is a |
| big help. |
| |
| If you are having trouble, you can always take a break to level up or to |
| meld stronger battle commands (especially group disables like Stop). |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Your reward for the escort is the extremely useful Counter Hammer ability.
Be
sure to equip this. Now any time you successfully block an attack, you will
be
able to follow it with a strong area-of-effect counter-attack.
With Cinderella safely dancing away, pick up the chests in the Foyer area a
nd
head east to the Antechamber. There is another boss fight in the next room,
so
if you do not already have Cure, now is a good time to pick it up from the
Moogle Store.
+--BOSS FIGHT: SYMPHONY MASTER-----------------------------------------

-------+
| HP: 450 (200 for each instrument), Strength: 8, Defense: 3 |
| Body status effect vulnerabilities: Ignite, Poison |
| Instrument status effect vulnerabilities: Freeze, Mini, Confuse, Stop, Zero |
| Gravity, Magnet |
| Elemental weaknesses: Violin takes 150% damage from fire |
| Trumpet takes 150% damage from blizzard |
| Elemental resistances: Drum takes 50% damage from thunder |
| Reward: DECK COMMAND SLOT, HP BOOST
|
| |
| This guy is actually easier than the Wheel Master if you know what to do.
|
| As long as he has an instrument alive, he will use the following attacks in |
| order: |
| |
| 1. Activate an instrument. It will move up to you, attack, and then move |
| back to the Symphony Master. The instrument is invincible while |

| attacking (but not while moving). |
| 2. Repeat with all other instruments, one at a time. |
| 3. If all three instruments are still alive after each one has attacked |
| individually, they will all come at you at once, surrounding you, and |
| then charging in. This is repeated three times. I recommend mashing |
| Square to try to slide you of the way, and hope for the best. It is a |
| nasty attack though, so try to keep your health topped off with Cure |
| or a potion. Even better, try to kill an instrument before this attack |
| is used. (See below.) |
| 4. The Symphony Master himself attacks by shooting beams at you or
|
| swinging his baton. This is easy to dodge unless you are in mid-swing. |
| 5. Repeat from the start until all the instruments are dead. |
| |
| Your main goal at the start of the fight should be to kill the instruments. |
| The simple approach is to run up to the Symphony Master, pick an instrume
nt |
| and then keep attacking it until it drops. And actually, this does pretty |
| well. You will probably get hit a couple times at the start, but that's it. |
| |
| The safe way is to wait for an instrument to come towards you, but then |
| immediately attack it before it reaches you. (If you wait for it to attack |
| first, it will become invincible, and you won't be able to do anything.) |
| Once you have the activated instrument in a combo, it will never recover,
|
| and the Symphony Master won't fight back until you are done. So just keep
|
| swinging until the instrument dies! |
| |
| Once you kill the instruments, the Symphony Master will start alternating
|
| between a jump attack similar to what the Wheel Master did, and other more
|
| direct attacks. The shockwave can be dodged by jumping over it. The other
|
| attacks, including a new one where the Symphony Master throws his baton,
|
| are not too scary either. If you are low on health, play conservatively |
| after the Symphony Master jumps so that you will be ready to dodge his
|
| attack, and then go in swinging again. |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
When the fight is over, you will also get the STROKE OF MIDNIGHT K
EYBLADE, the
CINDERELLA D-LINK, and access to the ROYAL BOARD. You might also
want to return
to the world quickly and go back to the room where you fought the Sympho
ny
Master (via the Antechamber) to pick up the final chest.

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
This world begins with the queen asking Terra to kill Snow White. Even aft
er
seeing the Aurora episode, you don't think Terra would actually do that, do
you? Only one way to find out!
The first room you go into is called the Vault. There are some jugs here that
are constantly changing color. If you hit one of these jugs while it is green,
it will recharge your health; if you hit it while it is blue, it will recharge
your D-Link bar; and if you hit it while it is red, it will explode, damaging
both you and any nearby enemies! Plan accordingly. You will also run acros
s
some nasty Unversed that disguise themselves as treasure chests, so watch o
ut
for those!
To advance, you will have to walk up to the steam jet a little ways to the
right of the entrance. This will propel you up to the north platform and the
exit. There is another steam jet that will propel you up to the central
platform, but it is inactive for now.
The next room has a couple looms (spinning wheels). If you hit one of these
,
it will open up one of the grates for a short time and you will be able to run
through. The first loom opens the route to the second loom, and the second
loom
opens TWO grates (the second grate is in the room behind the first grate). Y
ou
will have to hurry to get all the way through, but you can try as many times
as
you want. If you get through everything, you will get several nice treasures,
including the FIRE spell, and you will also find the world's Prize Pods. With
the Fire spell, you can now go back to the Vault and cast Fire on the engine
next to the inactive steam jet. This will activate the steam jet and let you
get up to the central platform to pick up FLAME SALVO.
Once outside, you can pick up the MAP and then head out to meet Snow Wh
ite.
+--BOSS FIGHT: UNVERSED NEAR SNOW WHITE----------------------------

-----------+
| Reward: AIR SLIDE |
| |
| There are a lot of enemies here, but they aren't unusually powerful. If you |
| are having trouble, you might want to consider leveling up a little. Or if |

| the problem is you have no healing, go buy the Cure spell. |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Be sure to equip this new Air Slide ability. It allows you to dash forward
while in the air by pushing Square. If you are patient, you can use this to
pick up the final treasure chest in the Courtyard. Go to the top of the stairs,
jump and air slide around the corner to get onto the wall. Then jump onto th
e
top of the archway, and finally jump and air slide across to the platform in
the northwest corner. If you are having trouble, you can always come back l
ater
when you have High Jump and/or a higher level Air Slide. You can also try
using
Sliding Dash or Fire Dash instead of Air Slide.
Once you are ready, head back to the Magic Mirror Chamber and the boss fi
ght
for the world.
+--BOSS FIGHT: SPIRIT OF THE MAGIC MIRROR----------------------------

---------+
| HP: 300, Strength: 11, Defense: 4 |
| Status effect vulnerabilities: Stun, Poison, Sleep |
| Elemental weaknesses: None |
| Reward: HP BOOST, FIRESTORM COMMAND STYLE
|
| |
| This is a rather atmospheric fight inside the heart of the magic mirror. |
| You will have to deal with the following attacks: |
| |
| Attack 1: The spirit flies towards you, either directly or in a zigzag |
| pattern. Use Block to avoid taking damage. |
| Attack 2: The spirit flies overhead shooting fireballs towards you. Use |
| Slide to avoid the fireballs. Block is hard to use because the |
| fireballs might come at you from behind. |
| Attack 3: Huge rows of spirits appear on either side of you, and they all |
| spit out fireballs. Just run (don't slide) directly forwards |
| along the line to avoid all projectiles. If you happen to notice |
| that one of the spirits is smiling, then that is the real one. |
| Run up and combo it to stop the attack. Alternatively, you can |
| just keep running forward and the attack will end eventually. |
| Attack 4: Copies of the spirit appear and start spinning around you, |
| eventually shooting out a salvo of fireballs. Use Slide to avoid |
| this. After dodging one salvo, you will be able to attack back. |
| Look for the spirit that is smiling (also the only spirit that |
| you can target with L+R), and run up to hit it after the spirits |
| stop to attack the SECOND time. If you try to attack the first |
| time, you will just get hit. |
| |
| When the spirit is not doing any of these attacks, it is safe to go on the |
| offensive. If you're lucky, you'll stun it and knock it to the ground. Once |
| the spirit starts doing something though, avoid the attack as explained |
| above. There is no reason to take any damage if you are careful. |
| |
| One annoyance is the game sometimes lags during attack #3. This is the ma
in |
| reason why it is better to walk than to slide. If you have not done so |
| already, now would also be a good time to switch to 333 MHz in the Option
s |
| menu. That will help with lag (although it will drain your batteries a |
| little faster). |
| |
| Note: If you have done Aqua's story already, this fight is almost but not |
| completely identical to her version. Attack #2 here is new, replacing |
| the ice bolt attack used against Aqua. Also, you should use Slide |
| instead of Block/Barrier for dodging attack #4. Everything else is |
| the same. |

You will also get the TREASURE TROVE KEYBLADE.

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
After a short introduction, you will be deposited in the Central Square for
another fight against the Unversed. This fight is a little harder than normal
though, because of the addition of two new enemies:
- The Chrono Twister looks like a giant hourglass, and is one of the nastiest
enemies in the game. Even at long range, it can stop time for you until you
escape by wiggling the analog stick. Needless to say, this is very bad. The
trick is the Chrono Twister will use this ability only when all of its sand
falls into the bottom half. When that is close to happening, hit it with the
Keyblade to turn it upside-down and reset the timer!
- The red and black balloon monsters (Tank Topplers) are also annoying. If
you
attack them normally, you will not be able to kill them. They will turn
invincible at low health and then roll around before exploding. If that
happens, slide away to avoid getting hit. You can prevent this nuisance
altogether by hitting the Tank Topplers from behind. This will release thei
r
air and make them an easy target.
Once this fight is done, pick up the two chests in the Central Square and hea
d
out to the Castle Town. After a short cutscene with Merlin, be sure to exami
ne
the book in his house to unlock the HUNNY POT BOARD. Now head outsid
e again and
follow the giant Unversed to the north.
The next area is called the Fountain Court, and you will need to jump into th
e
water jets to get propelled upwards towards the exit. To get the chests in the
northeast corner, jump from the central platform on the third level down to
the water jet on the east platform on the second level. This water jet can take
you all the way up to the east platform on the highest level.
Go through one more pretty straightforward room, and then it's time for a bo
ss
fight.
+--BOSS FIGHT: TRINITY ARMOR----------------------------------------------

----+
| HP: 800 for each piece, Strength: 14, Defense: 6 |
| Status effect vulnerabilities: None |
| Reward: HP BOOST, ROCK BREAKER COMMAND STYLE
|
| |
| If you have played other Kingdom Hearts games, you probably remember the
|
| Guard Armor. Well, this guy is an updated version of that boss. Basically,
|
| he has separate legs, arms, and head, and you need to kill them one at a |
| time. |
| |
| At the beginning of the fight, the pieces are all attached, and the Trinity |
| Armor will use the following attacks in order: |
| |
| Attack 1: Shoot fireballs up into the sky. These will land on the ground |
| where you and your allies were standing a couple seconds ago, |
| and they will explode into more fireballs on contact. While the |
| fireballs are being shot up, you should have time for two quick |
| combos. After that, immediately start moving so you are not hit. |
| Attack 2: Fly directly at you (or one of your allies) in a ramming attack. |
| The Trinity Armor will do this three times in a row. Use Block |
| to avoid this. |
| Attack 3: Move to the center of the room, charge up a huge laser, and send
|
| it back and forth in a sweeping motion around the room. While |
| the Trinity Armor is moving and while it is charging the laser, |
| you should have time to hit it a bunch. Once the laser is out, |
| use Slide to run right THROUGH it as it sweeps by. You are |
| invincible while the slide is happening! You can also just |
| always stay behind the Trinity Armor while he is shooting, but |
| that's boring. |
| |
| After these three attacks (or earlier, if your damage output is very good), |
| the Trinity Armor will split into pieces, and you will have time to do a |
| little more damage before the next attack. I don't think there's anything |
| random in what the boss does at this point, but the attack order depends on
|
| what you've destroyed, so it's a bit complicated. I will just list the |
| options: |
| |
| Attack 1: All pieces of the Trinity Armor start spinning rapidly across |
| the room. If you get hit by one, you will take heavy damage. I |
| recommend going into a corner and protecting yourself with Block |
| while this attack happens. (Make sure to face into the center of |
| the room though - Block only defends against frontal attacks.) |
| If you have a high-level Shotlock, you can also use that to give |
| yourself temporary invincibility. |
| Attack 2: The pieces might just do their own thing. The legs stomp around,
|
| and the head and arms fly around. This is a good time to attack. |
| You might take a little damage here or there, but it won't hurt |
| too much. |
| Attack 3: If at least two pieces are alive, they might slowly circle |
| around the room, shooting a constant lightning beam towards the |
| center. This attack looks scary but is actually not too bad. Run |
| to the outside of the room, and attack whichever piece of the |
| Trinity Armor is moving towards you. |
| Attack 4: The head might shoot fireballs or lasers all over the place. I |
| recommend just evading while this happens. This often seems to |
| be followed by attack #1 (where the armor pieces spin around), |
| so be ready. |
| Attack 5: The remaining pieces of the Trinity Armor might fuse together
|
| and do the giant laser again (attack #3 in the first list). If |
| only the head is left during this attack, you can stand directly |
| underneath it and pelt it with magic. The laser will go right |
| over your head! |
| |
| In general, watch out for the spinning attack (#1 in the second list), the |
| giant laser (#3 in the first list), and the fireball/laser sprays (#4 in |
| the second list). The rest you can probably handle without too much danger.
|
| By the way, you have to destroy the head last. It will stop taking damage |
| at some point if the other pieces are left alive, so if that happens, just |
| switch targets. |
| |
| Good luck! You will be doing this fight at least three times throughout the |
| course of the game, so I hope you like it! |

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
After the fight, you will also get a DISNEY TOWN PASS. Then, it's rash
decision time, and you will find yourself needing to rescue Master Xehanort
.
(You don't seriously believe Braig's story, do you?) Anyway, head back to t
he
start room, and out the south exit to reach the Outer Gardens and then Braig.
+--BOSS FIGHT: BRAIG----------------------------------------------------------+

| Status effect vulnerabilities: Ignite, Poison, Sleep |
| Reward: DECK COMMAND SLOT |
| |
| This fight is quite long but the pattern is not all that difficult. Braig |
| begins by teleporting to the upper platform and firing lasers at you. Just |
| keep moving to avoid his attacks and wait until he comes back down. You c
an |
| also block these shots back at him if you are careful. It is pretty tricky |
| though - if you are facing the wrong direction, Block will fail. |
| |
| For the most part, Braig will now teleport around, shoot two volleys at |
| you, and then stop to reload. I recommend waiting for him to shoot, and |
| then blocking. (Make sure you keep him targeted with L+R, so that you are
|
| facing the right direction.) You will reflect Braig's bullets back at him |
| for pretty good damage, and you shouldn't need to worry about attacking
|
| directly. If you do want to do melee attacks, you can walk to the side to |
| avoid Braig's first volley, then slide up next to him to avoid the second. |
| That will leave you in a good position to attack, but the melee method is a |
| little more dangerous. |

| |
| Later he will charge up a large dark beam. Just back off and slide to avoid |
| it. If you are fast, you can also hit him while he's charging (but not |
| after). |
| |
| Braig will then eventually teleport, stand still for a bit without doing |
| anything, teleport again, and then run around you in a circle, firing as he |
| goes. If you are ready, you can avoid this with Slide, with Block, or just |
| by running out of the way, but if he hits you at the start, he will combo |
| you for a lot of damage. This is Braig's most dangerous move, so play |
| defensively soon as he does the tell-tale teleport without attacking. |

| |
| After this, Braig will teleport up top and the fight will repeat. |
| |
| Just be patient, avoid the running+firing attack, and you should be fine. |
| When you heal, try to do it while Braig reloads. You really don't want him
|
| to interrupt your heal with a quick volley. I also recommend using |
| Shotlocks early and often here to speed things up. If you have Focus Block
|
| from the Royal Board (see Section MIN:CB), you will have no trouble keep
ing |
| a full Focus Gauge. |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
After the fight is over, there will be a couple more cutscenes and you will ge
t
the BLACK VOLLEY Shotlock and XEHANORT'S REPORT 2. Be sure to c
ome back to the
world afterwards to grab the two chests in the Purification Facility where yo
u
fought Braig.

Disney Town is primarily a hub of mini-games. To complete the world, all

you
need to do is win a round of Rumble Racing. But there are some nifty prizes
you
can earn if you stick around longer. For more information on Rumble Racin
g and
the other mini-games located here (Fruitball, Ice Cream Beat, and the Ice C
ream
Shop), see the mini-game and collectathon sections of the guide.
There are also a number of chests to pick up, quite apart from all the
mini-games. Their locations are very similar for each character, so if this is
not your first playthrough and if you remember what to do, feel free to skip
the rest of this section.
Most of these chests are hidden in the sewers. Go to the Main Plaza and ex
amine
the manhole cover to go down. In this area, you will see a giant machine wit
ha
lightning bolt on it and a power gauge. You need to hit it a bunch with
Thunder-based attacks to charge it up. The charge will go back down over t
ime
so you have to be fast, but the game gives you two THUNDER spells in the
same
room to help you out. You can also use the Thunderbolt command style if y
ou
have that already.
Once the machine is going, you can get on an elevator to reach the upper
levels. Jump on the moving hands and gears to move around up here and pic
k up
all the chests (see the list at the start). If you go south from the upper
level, you will also find a whole new area: Pete's Rec Room. Climb the stair
s
and get on the glove to propel yourself out into a giant pinball machine! Be
sure to HOLD the O button down when you use the glove. Holding it is wh
at makes
you go all the way up.
Once in the pinball machine, you can bounce around and pick up lots of Mu
nny.
Use L and R to hit the flippers and try to make it to the various alcoves to
pick up the chests. There is also a set of locked bars. To unlock them, you
need to smash into each of the four bumpers marked with a crown. Each tim
e
you hit one of these bumpers, a light will go on near the bars, and eventually
they will retract. Go wild and have fun here! One of the alcoves in this area
also leads to the rooftops of the Raceway area where you can find yet anothe
r
treasure chest, as well as the Prize Pods for this world. (You will need Air
Slide to be leveled pretty high to get to the Prize Pods though.)
When you complete the world, you will get the TOON BOARD. If you have
already
finished the world with the other two characters, you will also see an extra
cutscene where you are given the amusing but useless Million Dream Award

out for the new Buckle Bruisers here. They are immune to melee attacks fro
m in
front (and they will counter-attack if you try to hit them this way), so either
attack from behind or use magic.

us
Coliseum and speak with Hades to enter the tournament.
+--BOSS FIGHT: COLISEUM TOURNAMENT-----------------------------------

---------+
| Reward: HP BOOST, SONIC IMPACT |
| |
| You will have to clear ten groups of Unversed without a break and with a
|
| time limit during each round. Here is the exact list of what you are up |
| against: |
| |
| Round 1: 3 Scrappers (30 seconds) |
| Round 2: 1 Bruiser and 1 Vile Phial (15 seconds) |
| Round 3: 3 Spiderchests (30 seconds) |
| Round 4: 1 Buckle Bruiser (20 seconds) |
| Round 5: 5 Shoegazers (15 seconds) |
| Round 6: 2 Red Hot Chilis, 2 Blue Sea Salts, 2 Yellow Mustards, and 1 A
xe |
| Flapper (40 seconds) |
| Round 7: 3 Buckle Bruisers (40 seconds) |
| Round 8: 2 Chrono Twisters and 2 Monotruckers (30 seconds) |
| Round 9: 1 Bruiser and 5 Mandrakes (30 seconds) |
| Round 10: 30 Jellyshades (30 seconds) |
| |
| The best thing you can do is to set up your command deck so that you have
|
| one healing spell and a bunch of strong attack commands. The best are
|
| effects that hit multiple targets (e.g. Thunder Surge) or group-disables |
| (e.g. Zero Gravira). If you spam battle commands during these fights, you
|
| will also switch command styles, which helps a lot. In particular, if you |
| manage to switch to Rock Breaker, you should be in great shape while it
|
| lasts. |
| |
| Here are a couple round-specific strategies. I assume you have Thunder
|
| Surge, Magnera, and Zero Gravira, all of which can be picked up in Disney
|
| Town and Radiant Garden: |
| |
| Round 2: Any of Thunder Surge, Magnera, or Zero Gravira should help.
|
| Rounds 4,7: Use Magnera and Zero Gravira. Buckle Bruisers cannot block
|
| when they are in the air. |
| Round 5: This is difficult because the time limit is super-short and the |
| Shoegazers can block. I like to open with Thunder Surge, and |
| then do Magnera or Zero Gravira once the Shoegazers start |
| blocking. These spells work no matter what. |
| Round 9: Mandrakes are invincible and dangerous while in the ground. Get
|
| up close to lure them out. I like to slide in and immediately |
| cast Magnera or Zero Gravira. |
| Round 10: The main threat here is actually to your health. Begin by |
| sliding out of harm's way, and then use ranged area-of-effect |
| abilities to thin the Jellyshades out from a distance. |
| |
| Another approach is to use a fully leveled Aqua D-Link. Begin each round
|
| with Magnera, do a couple swings to fill your Command Gauge, and then us
e |
| your devastating Finish Command. This is extremely strong, at least until
|
| your D-Link Gauge runs out! |
| |
| You can also try Shotlocks, although I didn't find them as effective as the |
| strategies listed above. Good luck! |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
With the tournament out of the way, it is onto the boss fight. I recommend
equipping a Shotlock that you have leveled all the way to max, and NOT
equipping Sonic Impact quite yet. Trust me on this last one - Sonic Impact
sacrifices defense for a little offense, and you are going to want good defens
e
right now!
When you are ready, talk to Hades to continue.
+--BOSS FIGHT: ZACK ROUND 1------------------------------------------------

---+
| Status effect vulnerabilities: Stun, Freeze, Ignite, Poison, Zero Gravity |
| Reward: NONE |
| |
| Zack can do a bunch of damage, but he is easy to dodge if you are far away.
|
| So if the fight is going badly, slide away and wait for your Cure spells to |
| recharge. You will have to deal with three kinds of attacks: |
| |
| Swing: Zack runs towards you, and then does a regular sword combo. You
|
| should block this with Square, and then do the counter-attack. You |
| do not have time for a full combo afterwards though. |
| Dark Bolt: Zack shoots a homing bolt towards you along the ground. You
|
| CAN block this, but it's better to slide past it to Zack, and |
| then do a regular combo. |
| Jump: Zack jumps up into the air and lands with a shockwave. This cannot
|
| be easily blocked. (If you have already fought Zack with Aqua, take |
| note - this is an important difference!) Walk or jump out of range, |
| and then go in for a combo after he lands. This is the trickiest |
| attack Zack has, so you can also just back off entirely and not |
| worry about countering. |
| |
| Keep your distance so you can see what attack's coming, and then counter it
|
| as explained above. Thunder Surge and Zero Gravity spells are also very
|
| effective here. Both have a good chance of disabling Zack, leaving him ope
n|
| for some easy hits. |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
So what was the big fuss, right? Well you're not done yet. With a little help
from our friend Hades, you get another round:
+--BOSS FIGHT: ZACK ROUND 2------------------------------------------------

---+
| Elemental resistances: 50% damage from dark |
| |
| Zack still uses all of his attacks from Round 1, but now he also has two |
| new attacks: |
| |
| Hero's Pride: Zack visibly charges up with dark energy, does a rapid-fire |
| series of teleporting slashes, then dive-bombs you with a |

| shockwave attack. |
| Meteor: Zack summons a bunch of meteors to fall on you from the sky.
|
| |
| Okay, the real problem here is Hero's Pride. Zack uses it often, it does a |
| ton of damage (enough for a one-hit KO at low levels), and it cannot be |
| blocked or interrupted. If you are high enough level, you can take the hit |
| and then heal afterwards, but be sure to avoid the nasty dive bomb at the |
| end. (Mash the Square button so that you counter-attack the final slash.) |
| |
| The easiest way to actually dodge Hero's Pride is to use a high level |
| Shotlock at the same time. Start charging it as soon as you see Zack glow
|
| black, and then unleash before he does. You will do a bunch of damage, and
|
| be invincible throughout. If your Shotlock takes too long to charge or does
|
| not last long enough, pick something else that is leveled up more. |
| |
| The other way to dodge Hero's Pride is to use Slide. Right before Zack |
| disappears, do two quick slides to avoid his initial salvo. He will attack |
| the air for a while, then teleport to you again for another try. You will |
| need to do another few Slides to avoid this. The timing is quite delicate, |
| especially if Slide is not leveled up all the way, but it is absolutely |
| possible. Of course, Shotlocks are much easier! |
| |
| No matter how you survive Hero's Pride, Zack will be exhausted after he
|
| uses it. Take this opportunity to combo him. He will then usually do three |
| or four other attacks before using Hero's Pride again. Counter the other |
| attacks as normal, but if you are doing the Shotlock strategy, get ready to |
| use it as soon as you see Zack charging up. If Zack uses Meteor during this
|
| time, slide out of the way and wait patiently for the next attack. |
| |
| Good luck! If you are having too much trouble, consider leveling up a bit.
|
| This is one of the harder fights in the game. Also, Thunder Surge and Zero
|
| Gravity spells are almost as good here as they are in the first fight. They |
| don't protect you from Hero's Pride, but they do let you pile on the |
| damage! |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
After the fight is over, you will also get the MARK OF A HERO KEYBLA
DE and the
ZACK D-LINK. You can return to the world and talk to Hercules to try the
"Break
the Urns" mini-game (see Section MIN:BU) and get SONIC BLADE.

Deep Space begins with a rather unusual "boss" fight:
+--BOSS FIGHT: JELLYSHADE ARMY ROUND 1------------------------------

----------+
| Reward: HP BOOST |
| |
| You have to fight a huge number of Jellyshades on your Keyblade bike. You
r |
| normal command deck is replaced with the following four fixed commands f
or |
| this: |
| |
| Triangle: Charge (a dash attack) |
| O: Jump |
| Square: Barrier (similar to Block but it works in all directions) |
| X: Skid Charge (a close range attack) |
| |
| As it turns out, the Jellyshades hardly attack at all here, so just run |
| into them and mash X. You'll be fine even at low levels. By the way, I |
| wouldn't bother with L+R targeting. There are too many guys - just attack
|
| whatever's closest. |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
After the fight, you will be swallowed into a spaceship and then be given a
more traditional Unversed battle. From here, you will be left to explore the
Prison Block. There are five chests in the compartments, but you will need t
o
use the elevators along the walls to reach them. At this stage, the best way t
o
get all the chests is the following:
- Go up the one elevator that touches the ground.

- Go right from there to the northwest corner of the room.
- Air slide across to the northeast corner.
- Work your way down to the southeast corner.
- Finally, Air slide back again to the southwest corner.
- Go back to the southeast corner, and drop off to pick up the sticker.
Once High Jump is leveled up more, you will also be able to get to the
southwest corner more directly. But for now, this is probably your only opti
on.
At the very least, make sure you do get the HIGH JUMP ability before movi
ng on.
You now have a fairly lengthy trek ahead of you. Go out to the next room, u
se
the transporter, and exit to the north to reach the Ship Exterior. You will be
on your bike again here. If you want to kill the enemies, I recommend movin
g to
one of the pillars in the corners. You will latch on automatically and you ca
n
then dive off at high speed into the enemies. Mash X to take them down. It's
quite fun really, and this is the only place in the game where you will be abl
e
to get journal credit for fighting Glidewinders. When you are ready to move
on,
keep heading north.
The next room is called the Launch Deck. First pick up the two chests on th
e
bottom floor, then jump up the blocks to head out the east exit into the
Machinery Bay Access where you can find one more chest. Now head back i
nto the
Launch Deck and use the computer terminal to turn off gravity. Having the
gravity off will make it impossible to go out the east exit or to pick up the
chests I just mentioned, but you can always turn the gravity back off if you
want.
Having gravity off DOES allow you to jump super-high though, and you can
then
make your way up to the west exit. And from there, you can head further up
to
a high platform on the east wall and another chest. Just watch out for turrets
on the way. Avoid them, or destroy them with the Keyblade or by blocking t
heir
lasers back at them. The next room is a tall shaft which you can explore by
again taking advantage of computers to turn gravity on or off. When you are
done, head out the southwest exit. After a couple straightforward rooms, yo
u
will finally reach the boss fight.
+--BOSS FIGHT: EXPERIMENT 221---------------------------------------------

----+
| HP: 500 (150 for robot arms), Strength: 19, Defense: 12 |
| Status effect vulnerabilities: Stun, Freeze, Ignite, Confuse, Poison, Stop |
| Elemental weaknesses: 125% damage from blizzard |
| Elemental resistances: 75% damage from thunder |
| Reward: THUNDERBOLT COMMAND STYLE
|
| |
| It's Pikachu! Well not quite, but close enough. Experiment 221 uses the |
| following attacks (all or most of these are thunder-based, which makes |
| Thunder Screen handy if you happen to have it): |

| |
| 1. Experiment 221 pauses in mid-air, charges through you, and then comes
|
| back and charges through you again. You can avoid this with Block or
|
| Slide. If you are fast, you can combo Experiment 221 afterwards while
|
| he recovers. (This is easier if you use Slide instead of Block.) |
| 2. Experiment 221 lands on the center platform, and shoots lightning |
| balls in all directions. I like to stand a little ways back from the |
| platform and block a ball back at him. If you get the Block off, you |
| can try to run up afterwards and get a couple hits in. If you do not |
| get the Block off though, one of the balls will keep following you |
| around for while, so I just back off at that point. |
| 3. Experiment 221 lands on the ground somewhere else, and after a short
|
| pause, emits a very painful lightning explosion around him. You can |
| avoid this by backing off, or you can be aggressive and attack as soon |
| as he lands. You will usually stun Experiment 221 after a couple hits |
| and cancel his lightning explosion, but be ready to run if he doesn't |
| get stunned! |
| |
| Between attacks, Experiment 221 flies around quickly, making him hard to
|
| hit. |
| |
| I recommend relying on Blizzard attacks - especially Freeze Raid - for your
|
| offense. Since Freeze Raid is ranged, you can use it to hit Experiment 221
|
| easily during attacks #2 and #3. Furthermore, it is high damage because |
| Terra is good with Keyblade attacks and Experiment 221 is weak against
|
| Blizzard. You might even freeze him if you are lucky! Finally, cold attacks
|
| will make you switch to Diamond Dust, which gives a nice additional dama
ge |
| boost. |
| |
| Of course, Shotlocks are also effective, at least until your Focus Gauge |
| runs out. |
| |
| After a while, Experiment 221 will disappear and take control of the laser |
| cannons. They can fire at you (just keep walking to stay safe), or swing at |
| you if you get close. If you destroy both lasers, Experiment 221 will be |
| stunned for a while and you can unload on him. Otherwise, he will blow up
|
| the lasers by himself after a few salvos of laser fire. When the lasers |
| start glowing white, back off so you don't get hit and stunned. |
| |
| After this, the fight gets a little nastier. Attack #1 will involve three |
| charges instead of two, and there is a completely new attack: |
| |
| 4. Experiment 221 charges up while in the air and fires enormous |
| exploding lightning balls at you. Stay back and then slide in as each |
| ball is fired. If Experiment 221 then immediately starts charging up |
| another ball, keep evading. Otherwise, you should have time for a |
| combo while he recovers. |
| |
| He might also take control of the lasers again at any point. If you can |
| destroy the lasers, that will give you a great opportunity to do some |
| damage. Otherwise, it may be slow going, but if you heal as needed and pla
y|
| safely, you should be fine. |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
For completing the world, you will get the HYPERDRIVE KEYBLADE,
the EXPERIMENT
626 D-LINK, and the SPACESHIP BOARD. You can also get two more che
sts by
returning to Deep Space and going to the Ship Corridor.
If you are interested in 100% completion, make sure to kill a Glidewinder o

n
the Ship Exterior and a Blobmob in the Launch Deck. This is the only world
where those two enemies appear.

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Never Land opens with a battle against Unversed as normal. This fight can
be
pretty nasty because there's a big jump in monster level in Never Land, and
also because of the Wild Bruisers. These gorilla Unversed can charge you, c
an
stomp the ground near them for a shockwave, and can shoot earth spikes alo
ng
the ground. These are all very high damage attacks so pay attention to them.
If there is just one Wild Bruiser, you can keep hitting him without letting
him recover, but you will have to deal with three at a time here, so you migh
t
want to play a little more defensively. Blocking and countering the rush
attack is a particularly useful trick. If the monsters seem too strong, now
would be a good time to check out the Mirage Arena. Do a couple rounds the
re,
and your level will catch up.
Anyway, when the fight is done, Terra will once again fall in with the wron
g
crowd and you will have to head to Skull Rock with Captain Hook. On you
r way
north, take a quick detour to the Indian Camp to your left. Jump off the
trampoline here and hit the top of the totem pole to get a Thundaga spell. Th
is
takes a few tries, but keep swinging and you should get it eventually.
When you are ready, head on to the Mermaid Lagoon. If you follow the roa
d
without going in the water, you will wend your way down to the Rainbow Fa
lls:
Base and a couple chests. To go on though, you have to get out onto the cent
er
island in the Mermaid Lagoon (you can just jump into the water and climb u
p
from there) and then jump to the northwest. Be sure to pick up the chest in t
he
northeast corner of the water while you are down there though.
This will get you to the Cliff Path. There is a chest hidden here behind a roc
k
pile in the northwest corner. Just keep hitting it with your Keyblade to
destroy it. Also, if you jump onto the cliff top and then air slide to the
nearby tree top, you will find an exit in the cliff wall. This will take you
to the highest cliff top in the Mermaid Lagoon and another chest.
Once you have everything, keep heading north and you will eventually reac
h
Skull Rock. Instead of going in immediately though, loop past the entrance t
o
the northwest corner. With High Jump equipped, jump up, and you should b
e able
to climb to the high west entrance. That gets you one chest. You can then j
ump
across to the other platform and the other two chests there by using Air Slid
e
twice. Head outside again to find the world's Prize Pods.
Finally, go in through the main entrance to confront Peter Pan.
+--BOSS FIGHT: PETER PAN-----------------------------------------------------

-+
| Status effect vulnerabilities: Stun, Freeze, Ignite, Poison, Stop, Sleep |
| Reward: BLADE CHARGE COMMAND STYLE
|
| |
| Peter Pan flies around constantly, which makes him tricky to hit, but he |
| has only two attacks: |
| |
| 1. Peter Pan's arms glow white, and he swoops down and slices at you.
|
| This attack cannot be blocked, so move out of the way, and then try to |
| catch him with a Keyblade swing as he flies off. |
| 2. Peter Pan hovers upright near the ground, then slowly approaches you
|
| and does a short combo. Block this and counter-attack. |
| |
| If you ever hit Peter Pan, he will be stunned for a short while, so take |
| advantage of this to do as much damage as you can. It is pretty obvious |
| when Peter Pan is doing one of his attacks, and you can try to hit him any |
| other time without risk. |

| |
| The fight will end when you take off two bars of health. As long as you |
| remember not to try to block attack #1, you should not have too much |
| trouble. If things are going too slowly, you can also use Ignite to speed |
| things along. This is easy to hit with and it does good damage even if you |
| are low level. |

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
After the fight, you will also get the PETER PAN D-LINK. Head outside, a
nd you
will hear the Lost Boys calling out for help. Run back in for the real "boss"
of Never Land.
+--BOSS FIGHT: JELLYSHADE ARMY ROUND 2------------------------------

----------+
| |
| If you don't know what to do, this fight can be pretty nasty. There are a |
| ton of Jellyshades, they hit hard, and they hit with little warning. So |
| what should you do? Abuse Sonic Impact! You can just slide around among
the |
| Jellyshades, laying waste to everything near you without making yourself
|
| vulnerable for more than a split second! |
| |
| Area-of-effect spells (e.g. Magnet/Aero/Mine) work too, but Sonic Impact
|
| really is the best option. |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
You will also get the PIXIE PETAL KEYBLADE, the SKULL BOARD, and
a short but
charming cutscene on Destiny Islands. There you will get the ENDS OF
THE EARTH
KEYBLADE.
When the cutscenes are done, you can come back to Never Land to get the c
hests
in Peter's Hideout. (It's the tree in the Jungle Clearing.)

[WLK:T11] Terra's Story: Badlands and Land of Departure
======================================================
=========================
Master Xehanort is calling Terra... What could that mean? Only one way to
find
out for sure!
Once you go to the Badlands, you will get the DARK IMPULSE COMMA
ND STYLE, and
then it's off to the Land of Departure for a major boss fight.
+--BOSS FIGHT: MASTER ERAQUS---------------------------------------------

-----+
| |
| As befits a true Keyblade Master, Eraqus has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. |
| You will constantly be going into Dark Impulse command style during this
|
| fight (Terra's mad!), which is sort of good and sort of bad. Dark Impulse |
| IS powerful, but unfortunately Eraqus is resistant to dark attacks. |

| |
| Anyway, here are the moves you will have to deal with: |
| |
| 1. Eraqus unleashes a multi-hit Keyblade combo on you. Block this, do a
|
| counter-attack, and then follow up with a combo of your own. To avoid
|
| getting hit by the initial swing, you should always keep some distance |
| between you and Eraqus unless you are actively attacking him. If you |
| do get caught in the combo, keep pushing Square. You may get lucky an
d|
| get a block off midway through. |
| |
| 2. Eraqus does three Keyblade charges, similar to Sonic Blade. This does
|
| a ton of damage, occurs with no warning, and travels a long way, so it |
| is one of the more dangerous attack at this stage. The trick to |
| avoiding the first charge is to constantly be circling Eraqus. That |
| way he will miss you even if your reactions are slow. After that, you |
| should have a chance to line up a block, which will stop Eraqus and |
| give you time to do a combo of your own. If you do get hit by a |
| charge, once again mash Square. Hopefully you will get off a Payback
|
| Fang and then be able to escape. |
| |
| 3. Eraqus yells "Let the darkness die!", and summons ethereal Keyblades
|
| all around him. You really do NOT want to be next to him while this |
| happens. He then sends the Keyblades flying at you. Back off a bunch,
|
| and then block at the last second to reflect the Keyblades back at |
| Eraqus. Hold down Square the whole time to make sure you get |
| everything. (If you are still getting hit, the problem is usually: |
| (a) you are not targeting Eraqus with L+R, or (b) you are not far |
| enough back. Either way, a Keyblade is hitting you from above or |
| behind, and so is not stopped by Block.) |
| |
| Instead of blocking, you can also attack right as the Keyblades are |
| sent out. Any quick-hitting move is effective: Sonic Blade, Geo |
| Impact, Thunder Surge, etc. |
| |
| 4. Eraqus yells "Prepare yourself!" and shoots three light bolts at you. |
| Get up pretty close and block to reflect the bolts back. Do NOT try to |
| go in for a combo afterwards - Eraqus will follow this immediately |
| with another attack. For the first half of the fight, you can safely |
| do Counter Hammer though. (By the way, the reason to go close is |
| because then Eraqus will not have time to defend himself from the |
| bolts you send back.) |
| |
| 5. While you are comboing Eraqus, he might counter with a quick jump
|
| attack. I am not sure if there is any reliable way of avoiding getting |
| hit by this except to not do combos, but fortunately it does not do |
| THAT much damage. |
| |
| 6. Eraqus has a chance to block almost any attack you send at him. |
| |
| If you are high level and are strong enough to play aggressively and win, |
| great. Otherwise, you generally want to circle around Eraqus at medium

|
| distance and wait for him to attack. If he does attacks #1 or #2, block him |
| and then go in for a combo. If he does attacks #3 or #4, block the |
| projectiles back (this alone should do a lot of damage!), but do not try a |
| combo. If Eraqus counters you with attack #5, don't worry about it. Heal |
| and keep going. The Dark Impulse finish command makes you invincible by
the |
| way, so you can use that with relative impunity. Just hope that Eraqus |
| doesn't start attack #3 while you do it! |
| |
| After you have reduced him to around 1.5 health bars, Eraqus will start |
| using some new attacks: |

| |
| 7. Eraqus teleports next to you and does a quick two-hit combo. This is |
| hard to avoid - the best advice I can give is to not hold still at the |
| end of Eraqus's attacks (especially #4 and #9). When in doubt, be |
| sliding. Fortunately, the attack isn't THAT painful. |
| |
| 8. Desperation Move #1: Instead of doing attack #4 after yelling "Prepare
|
| yourself!", Eraqus will now usually (but not always) jump into the air |
| and throw fire pillars onto the ground. This is always accompanied by |
| the screen going dark, so it should be easy to recognize. The pillars |

| are fast but you can safely slide through them. Just evade until they |
| disappear. If you end up next to Eraqus, you can try to combo him |
| after the attack is done. It's not 100% safe though. |
| |
| 9. Desperation Move #2: Instead of doing attack #3 after yelling "Let the |
| darkness die!", Eraqus will now shoot lasers from each of the ethereal |
| Keyblades. Keep your distance and stand still. The ring of lasers will |
| eventually start rotating. You then need to walk in the same direction |
| as the ring so that you don't touch a laser. This is a little tricky, |
| but the lasers don't hurt too much even if you mess up. You can try to |
| hit Eraqus after the attack is over, preferably with something fast |
| like Sonic Blade. However, he will often do attack #7 right away. |
| |
| The main problem at this stage is it becomes difficult to actually do |
| damage because Eraqus will now do attacks 1 through 4 pretty rarely. Here
|
| are some options: |
| |
| - You can attack at the end of attacks #8 and #9. This is not fool-proof, |
| but it often works. Fire Surge and Thunder Surge are good methods of
|
| attacking - high damage and fast. |
| - You can do Shotlocks. These are especially easy and effective at the |
| start of attack #9. |
| - The Dark Impulse finish command is always good. One very safe approa
ch |
| if all else fails is to bring lots of ranged spells like Firaga, and |
| constantly pelt Eraqus with them. They do not do much damage but they
|
| are easy to hit with, and they will fill up your Command Gauge so that |
| you can do a finisher. |

| - If you are patient, Eraqus will still do attacks 1 through 4, and you |
| can counter those as before. |
| |

Welcome to the final world in Terra's story! The first area is deserted except
for some chests, but the second area is pretty nasty (although if you have
finished another character's story already, you should know what's coming).
There will be a number of whirlwinds flying around here. When you get clos
e,
the whirlwinds will chase after you and swallow you up, forcing you into a
nasty fight against Unversed. The good news is the whirlwinds will not retu
rn
until you leave the world (even if you save and load). Here are the three
different fights you might get in each whirlwind:
Fight #1: Part 1: 1 Bruiser, 2 Scrappers, and 2 Blue Sea Salts

--------- Part 2: 4 Hareraisers
Part 3: 3 Buckle Bruisers
This is the easiest of the three fights. Against the Buckle Bruisers, you
can use a Shotlock, or you can run up behind them and hit them once. Th
ey
will probably turn around and jump at you. Block and counter-attack for a
bunch of damage. Repeat.
Fight #2: Part 1: 4 Red Hot Chilis

--------- Part 2: 2 Tank Topplers and 2 Sonic Blasters
Part 3: 1 Triple Wrecker and 4 Mandrakes
The last part of this fight is really nasty if you don't know what to do.
The Mandrakes will constantly be shooting at you, and it will be very
difficult to get any attacks off. The trick is to just slide around,
getting close to each Mandrake in turn. This will cause the Mandrakes to
pull themselves outside of the ground, and from then on, they won't be ab
le
to shoot at you.
Fight #3: Part 1: 3 giant Floods

--------- Part 2: 1 giant Chrono Twister and 3 giant Yellow Mustards
Part 3: 1 giant Vile Phial and 4 giant Shoegazers
The size of the enemies is what makes this fight hard. For the second part,
stay back if any of the Yellow Mustards are glowing white. You probably
will not be able to get past their attack. In fact, the best option is to
make heavy use of long range spells if you have them. For the third part,
you can tell if a Shoegazer is attacking if it compresses as it hits the
ground. If it's just bouncing up and down without changing appearance, y
ou
can attack safely. Shotlocks and more ranged magic help a lot.
Obviously, you will want to have a healing spell in your command deck for
these
fights unless you are super high level and super confident. If you are having
trouble, you can always level up in the Mirage Arena and come back later.
Remember this spot though. It is the best place in the game to earn CP and t
o
level up commands.
After getting through the Twister Trench, you will come to a save point. Us
e
it! This is the final save point in the game. When you are ready, head onwar
ds.
If you are feeling nervous about the final boss for Terra, you might want to
consider first creating Renewal Block, Once More, Leaf Bracer, and Second
Chance for yourself (see the Command Melding Section, COL:CM). These w
ill help
a lot. Beware: Terra's final boss can be one of the hardest fights in the game!
Anyway, after a non-pre-rendered (boo) recreation of the BBS teaser trailers
from KH2 and KH2FM+, it will be time for a sequence of boss fights:
+--BOSS FIGHT: MASTER XEHANORT AND VANITAS-----------------------

-------------+
| Master Xehanort: |
| Vanitas: |
| Status effect vulnerabilities: Stun, Freeze, Ignite, Poison, Sleep, Zero |
| Gravity |
| Reward: NONE |
| |
| Both of the game's main villains at the *same* time? Nasty! Fortunately for
|
| you, these guys aren't really trying too hard for reasons that will soon |
| become clear. |
| |
| Xehanort will mostly leave you alone unless you get up close, in which case
|
| he will usually teleport away and/or attack. When he does attack, he will |
| do one of the following: |

| |
| 1. Swing at with you a short combo, possibly followed by a single ice |
| bolt. |
| 2. Shoot out three ice bolts in a cone. |
| 3. Summon dark energy pillars around you. |
| |
| You can evade any of these attacks by just sliding away. Attacks 2 and 3
|
| are pretty long range but you can hear/see them coming in advance, so you
|
| should have plenty of time to react. Attack 1 can be preceded by a teleport |
| right next to you, which makes it the hardest to dodge. Just keep moving |
| and stay away from Xehanort, and you will probably be fine. He doesn't hur
t|
| too much anyway. |
| |
| The better target here is Vanitas. He is both more dangerous and easier to |
| hit. Here are his attacks: |

| |
| 1. He shoots a very slow fireball that after a couple seconds splits into |
| several small fireballs. These fireballs then quickly home in on you. |
| This attack cannot be reliably blocked. |
| 2. He jumps from anywhere to right above you, then sprays you with dark
|
| lightning. |
| 3. He does a two-hit combo. Halfway through the fight, a sonic wave will
|
| be added to the end of the combo. |
| 4. Like Master Eraqus, Vanitas has a counter-attack. He will leave behind
|
| a stationary image of himself and then appear above you to attack with |
| a dive bomb. Again, I don't know how to predict this very well, but it |
| doesn't hurt that much and it often misses altogether, so you can just |
| deal with the occasional surprise hit. If you are fast, you should |
| also be able to block it or slide away from it most of the time. |
| |
| As with Xehanort's attacks, you can evade any of these by sliding away.
|
| |
| After you have done a bunch of damage to Vanitas, he will also do a |
| desperation attack where he dives into the ground. He will chase you a bit
|
| from underground before emerging with an explosion, and then maybe dive
|
| back for another try. Just stay back while he does this. |
| |
| Okay, so neither enemy is particular aggressive here. This means that if |
| you are hurting, you should be able to safely back off and heal. Mainly you
|
| just need to be ready to slide away if either of them tries something. |
| |
| As for offense, go after Vanitas, and try to knock him or lure him away |
| from Master Xehanort, where you can bash him in peace. Once you have go
tten |
| him down to about 1.5 health bars, the fight will end. |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+--BOSS FIGHT: MASTER XEHANORT ROUND 1-----------------------------

-----------+
| |
| With Vanitas gone, Xehanort now gets a little bit more aggressive. He can
|
| use the following attacks at the start of the battle, the first three of |
| which are what he was using last battle: |
| |
| 1. He does a short combo, possibly followed by a single ice bolt. |
| 2. He shoots out three ice bolts in a cone. |
| 3. He summons dark energy pillars all around you. |
| 4. He summons an earth pillar directly under you, knocking you way up
|
| into the air. |
| 5. He summons a stream of Keyblades that fly around and smack you for a
|
| while. They don't hurt too much, but they can interrupt your combos. |
| |
| Again, all of these can be avoided by sliding away. The problem is that |
| Xehanort will now be attacking much more often. |

| |
| Here's the strategy. If Xehanort is just standing around, assume he will |
| combo you directly or teleport and attack as soon as you get close. Either |
| wait for him to attack or walk close enough to provoke it. Use Slide to |
| evade, and unless he did attack #5, run up for a couple combos of your own.
|
| Then back off and repeat. Remember: do not try to attack Xehanort right
|
| after a teleport. Wait for him to try something first, then go in. (If |
| Xehanort does do attack #5, you can still hit him, but favor quick attacks |
| that keep you moving like Fire Surge or Thunder Surge). |
| |
| After you do some damage, Xehanort's basic combo gets spiced up. He migh
t |
| teleport again after each swing, making it harder to dodge, and he might |
| put you in a stranglehold at the end. If that happens, just mash X like |
| they suggest. Otherwise, keep going as before. |
| |
| If you need to heal, try to wait for Xehanort to attack first. Unless you |
| have Leaf Bracer, you don't want Xehanort interrupting your heal with an
|
| attack. |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+--BOSS FIGHT: MASTER XEHANORT ROUND 2-----------------------------

-----------+
| Reward: NONE |
| |
| Alright, you have now officially made Xehanort angry. Good job! The bad
|
| news is now that Xehanort's angry, he is going to be attacking constantly, |
| and he can be pretty scary. Here are the basic attacks you are up against: |
| |
| 1. Xehanort will dash along the ground somewhat randomly, trailing dark
|
| energy. This can be blocked, but it won't stop Xehanort, which means |
| he might end up hitting you from behind right after. I recommend just |
| moving or sliding out of the way. |

| 2. Xehanort will do a lengthy combo involving a lot of spinning Keyblade
|
| attacks. This is sometimes preceded by him teleporting next to you. |
| The combo is long and pretty damaging, but it won't kill you if you |
| have Once More equipped. Ideally, you want to block this and then |
| counter. |
| 3. Xehanort will shoot a ton of dark bolts at you. Block them to reflect |
| the bolts back at him. If you have Renewal Block, doing this will |
| probably heal you back to full health as a bonus! The downside is |
| getting hit is very, very painful. |
| 4. Xehanort will shoot a smaller number of dark bolts at you in a more |
| erratic homing pattern. Again, block these. He will stop once you |
| reflect one back into him. If you are getting hit while blocking, you |
| are probably too close. (Block doesn't work if the bolts loop around |
| to hit you in the back.) |
| 5. Xehanort will drag his Keyblade in the ground and pull up rocks all |
| around. This is usually followed immediately by another attack, so |
| block+counter can be a little risky. I recommend sliding away. |
| 6. Xehanort will do a full Dark Impulse combo, complete with finish |
| command. This is one of his more dangerous attacks: |

| - The basic combo can be blocked, but if it isn't blocked, it goes on |
| to end with a psychic fist to the face. There is a short pause here |
| and so Once More will NOT save you from the fist! If you get caught
|
| in the combo, mash Square and a direction to slide away ASAP. |
| - Xehanort will now immediately submerge underground and try to
|
| come up from underneath you. He moves very fast, so you cannot |
| really outrun him. The trick is to slide directly OVER him. He will |
| emerge during this time, but sliding will make you invincible. |
| 7. Xehanort can heal himself a little bit. Annoying, but not much you can |
| do about it. |
| 8. Xehanort also has a counter-attack similar to Eraqus and Vanitas. He |
| will do a quick shockwave on the ground. If you are playing right, it |

| won't hit you though. See below. |
| |
| That's a lot of attacks, and Xehanort's going to be doing them constantly. |
| So what's the plan? Stay close to Xehanort, and then when he gets ready to
|
| attack, push Square to block. Hopefully this will stop him in his tracks. |
| If so, use Counter Hammer, but do NOT do a combo. Just stay close and get
|
| ready for the next attack. He attacks so fast and he is so aggressive that |
| you do not need (or want) to rely on regular attacks. |
| |
| Unfortunately, Xehanort will sometimes keep his combo going even after y
ou |
| block him. Your counter will then do nothing except leave you vulnerable.
|
| If this happens, you can either block again or slide away and wait for the |
| next attack. |
| |
| In addition to using Block and Counter Stamp, you should also use your
|
| finish command whenever it comes up and also Shotlocks. Both make you
|
| invincible, so there is no real downside. Xehanort is immune to Shotlocks
|
| when doing attack #1, so they don't always hit him, but when they do hit, |
| they are very strong. |
| |
| Unfortunately Xehanort also has a few desperation-type attacks he will use.
|
| These are easy to see coming, but still bad news: |
| |
| 9. Xehanort will hold still and summon meteors up from the earth. Keep
|
| moving while they are coming up so you don't get hit. The meteors will
|
| then all come flying at you. They come too fast for Slide but there |
| are two methods that do work: |
| - Block. You want to position yourself at the edge of the field with |
| no meteors close by. Hopefully this means all meteors will come at |
| you from in front. Now block as they come in. There's still some |
| danger a meteor will hit the ground instead of you, and Block will |
| not protect you from that kind of explosion. But if the meteor |
| reaches you before the ground, Block will stop it and also grant |
| you temporary invincibility. |
| - Shotlocks. Unfortunately, Xehanort will teleport around a lot as |
| soon as you try to target a Shotlock, so this can be a little |
| difficult to do. He normally holds still after the meteors are |
| summoned though, so there IS an opening; it's just short. |
| If you get hit by a meteor and have Once More + Second Chance, DO N
OT |
| UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES press Square to do Payback Fang. Your
|
| abilities will keep you alive, but only if you avoid Payback Fang. |
| 10. Xehanort shoots a large energy ball from his Keyblade. It moves very
|
| slowly, but it will detonate soon and hit a very large radius. Back |
| off as far as possible and get ready for the next attack. |
| 11. Xehanort will hold still and summon a huge slow-moving spike from th
e |
| sky. At first, this looks kind of similar to attack 9, but there will |
| be a spike instead of meteors. The spike explodes when it hits the |
| ground, so back off as far as possible. You can also try to time Slide |
| so that you are invincible when the spike explodes. |
| |
| Well, that's pretty much it. Remember: Shotlocks, block, counter, and heal
|
| (and run away during desperation moves). That's what this fight is all |
| about! If you are having trouble, be sure to get Renewal Block, Once More,
|
| Second Chance, and Leaf Bracer as I said earlier. Other than that, be |
| patient, and you'll get it. Good luck! |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Congratulations! If you got this far, you will be rewarded with XEHANORT
'S
REPORT 11 and the end of Terra's story. The ending doesn't resolve much,
but
don't worry: there's time for that later.
To begin the next character's story, create a new game and select a different
character. When you start your new game, don't forget to switch to 333 MH
z
speed again if you want the game to be as smooth as possible. And DO NO

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Before you get too far into this world, let me repeat the advice I gave at the
beginning of Terra's story, in case you are still new to Birth by Sleep
gameplay. There are three things you should be using regularly to give yours
elf
an edge in combat:
at,
- D-Links, especially with Aqua so that you can use her Cure ability. Press
right on the directional pad to switch to the D-Link menu.

- Fever Pitch and/or finish commands. These are activated whenever your
ve been
y use
l
do
that by using them!
This world begins with Ven spying on the seven dwarves. Collect the nearb
y
chests, and then follow the dwarves into their mine. Dopey will stay with yo
u
but the others will run to the back of the mine, and you will need to track
them down:
1. Sneezy is just to the right of the entrance in a box that hops up and down
as he sneezes. Destroy the box to find him.

2. Grumpy is in a group of boxes near Sneezy. He will charge you if you ge
t
close, and it is very hard to avoid getting hit. If your health gets low,
I recommend using Strike Raid to destroy his box from a distance.
3. Sleepy is asleep in a box in the back right corner near a chest. His box
won't really move around but it will shake as Sleepy snores away. Destro
y
it too.
4. Doc is in a group of boxes near Sleepy in the back right corner. He will
run away very fast as you approach. Just keep chasing him, and use battl
e
commands and Fever Pitch to help.
5. Happy is in a box at the back left near the mine cart. Like Doc, he will
constantly run away. Deal with him in the same way.
6. Bashful is in a mine cart that follows a couple tracks on the left side.
Destroy the cart. Stay behind it though - you will take damage if it rolls
into you.
While you're doing this, be sure to get the chests too. PAYBACK RAID, wh
ich you
will find at the back end of the mine will remain useful through the whole
game. If you ever need to heal, you can step out at any time to the save poin
t
in the previous room. You won't have to recapture the dwarves you've alrea
dy
found.
With that taken care of, head back the way you came. Search the Cottage an
d the
Deep Woods for chests (see above for the exact chest locations), and then s
peak
with Snow White.
+-BOSS FIGHT: SNOW WHITE ESCORT----------------------------------------

-------+
| |
| You have to escort Snow White through the Deep Woods without letting her
|
| die. The enemies are going to focus on her more than you, and there is no
|
| way to heal her, so you are going to want to clear the enemies as fast as |
| possible. I recommend equipping Mini and Poison for that. |
| |
| The main thing to watch here are the trees themselves. When Snow White
|
| approaches a tree, it will come to life and start hitting her with a wind |
| attack. If you are nearby, you will see a Square signal appear on your |
| screen. Press Square to block the tree and then press X to counter with an |
| aura that will destroy it instantly. You can also use Square to block |
| attacks from other enemies, but this is less important. The other enemies |
| are too passive to be easily blocked, and there is no special bonus for |
| blocking them anyway. |
| |
| Other than that, the main thing to do is to stay near Snow White and keep
|
| hitting the enemies there to keep them busy. Good luck! |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
After a short and rather unhelpful cutscene with the seven dwarves, return to
the woods for the world's main boss fight.
+-BOSS FIGHT: MAD TREANT---------------------------------------------------

---+
| Status effect vulnerabilities: Ignite |
| Elemental weaknesses: 150% damage from fire and thunder |
| Reward: DECK COMMAND SLOT, FIRESTORM COMMAND STYLE
|
| |
| Ven's first true boss is pretty nasty, so you will want to prepare a bit. |
| In particular, it would be a good idea to have some sort of healing |
| available. If you have not already gotten Cure from the Command Board
|
| mini-game, your best option is to equip a Potion, or max out your D-Link
|
| Gauge so that you can use that. Aqua is probably the best choice. |
| |
| I'm going to write up this section assuming you are using mostly melee |
| attacks, but if you are having trouble, one good trick is to buy a couple |
| Strike Raid abilities and rely on those. This boss is very vulnerable to |
| ranged attacks. |
| |
| At the start of the fight, the Mad Treant will attack in more-or-less the |
| following pattern: |
| |
| 1. First he will shake violently and send flying all the fireworks that |
| are hanging on him. This can hurt a lot, so do NOT try to combo him |
| before this attack. Wait for it, and then back off as quickly as |
| possible. Even at 333MHz, the fireworks lag the PSP a bit, so try not |
| to rely too heavily on Dodge Roll. |
| 2. Next, the Mad Treant will jump up into the air three times, landing |
| with a shockwave each time and dropping a few poison apples. This is
|
| the best time to attack. Stay close and do a jumping combo right as |
| the Mad Treant is about to land. During the last jump, I recommend |
| running behind him as he goes up so he lands facing away from you. I
|
| think this may prevent him from countering (see below). Assuming you
|
| get off three combos, you should now have your finish command charge
d |
| up. That makes you invincible, so you might as well use it too. |
| 3. Finally the Mad Treant will dig his roots into the ground and send |
| them up at you periodically. Dodge roll around to stay safe. During |
| this time, the Mad Treant will also get his fireworks and apples back, |
| and he will repeat from attack 1. |
| |
| Sometimes the Mad Treant might also swing his canopy at you or lash out
|
| with roots. He will then continue where he left off in the main attack |
| sequence. |
| |
| After you do a bunch of damage, the Mad Treant will fall over stunned and
|
| drop some health balls. Pick them up and keep hitting him. A little later, |
| he will turn black and go berserk. Back off. The fight will now get a bit |
| harder. First of all, the underground root attack will now be more violent |
| and more erratic. You can still avoid it with Dodge Roll though. Perhaps
|
| most importantly, a new attack is introduced into the rotation after the |
| three jumps: |
| |
| 2.5. The Mad Treant will shoot three meteors out of his trunk into the |
| sky, and these will fall on you. Wait until the shadow of the first |
| one gets close to you, then start dodge rolling to the side to avoid |
| all three meteors. |
| |
| Be patient, avoid each attack like I said, and you should be mostly okay. |
| You can speed things up by using Shotlocks, and if you get in trouble, |
| don't forget to heal with a Potion or with the Aqua D-Link. Good luck! |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
After the fight is over, you will also get the SNOW WHITE D-LINK and th
e
TREASURE TROVE KEYBLADE. The Deck Command Slot will also let yo
u equip another
command, so be sure to do so.
You can also now come back at any time to pick up the final chest in the Fl
ower
Glade where you met the old woman with the apple.

|
| First go to the southwest corner "room" of the Mousehole - the area |
| directly underneath the spider web and the cheese. The Prize Pods are in |
| the northwest corner of this room. |

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
I will cover the Castle of Dreams next. The exploration here can be a little
confusing, but the combat is much easier than the Enchanted Dominion.
After the initial cutscene, you will find yourself in a rather unusual
position. Oh well... I guess you'll just have to make do. First of all, follow
Jaq through the Mousehole. Once you are inside, climb up to get a chest, an
d
then exit into Cinderella's room.
You will then be given your main mission for the world: finding materials f
or
Cinderella's dress. While you're here, notice the ball of yarn on the floor.
You can jump on these things, roll around on them, and then jump off to get
to
high places throughout the Castle of Dreams. This one can get you STUN
EDGE and
the MAGIC RECIPE from tables in Cinderella's room.
Once you're ready, head back the way you came to get to the Wardrobe Roo
m. This
place is swarming with enemies, but if you take care of the flying creatures,
you can just roll around on the ball of yarn to kill everything else! You can
then pick up three chests (see the list above) and three materials for the
dress:
WHITE LACE: Southeast corner on a couch

WHITE SASH: Northwest corner on a pile of boxes (jump from on top of t
he ball
of yarn to get up there)
PINK FABRIC: Northeast corner on the floor
Now exit out through the north mousehole.
Keep walking until you reach a fork stuck into the wall. By jumping on the
fork
handle, you can propel yourself up to the next level. From here, you can rea
ch
everything in the Mousehole, but it's a little tricky. First look south. You
will see another fork in the wall and a box of matches. Head over there and h
it
the matches until they get knocked through the wall. Keep going in this
direction, and you will come upon the matches on the other side. Jump onto
them
and then across to reach the spider web. Hit the web with your Keyblade to
knock the cheese off. Now fall down to the bottom level.
There is a chest immediately behind the fork down here, and you can use th
e
cheese you knocked down earlier to jump on top of the two platforms. One
contains a chest and the other contains an exit leading to a high tabletop in
the Wardrobe Room. You can also find the world's Prize Pods down here in
the
northwest corner. Exit to the Dressing Room to find the WHITE BUTTON.
Now retrace your steps back to the second level of the Mousehole where the
first fork handle deposits you, and then head east. Eventually, you will come
to a ledge overlooking the exit to Cinderella's Room. There is another exit u

p
here that leads to a bookshelf in the southwest corner of the Wardrobe Roo
m
where you will find the PINK THREAD and another chest. First though, loo
k to
the east, and you will see a chest high up on a support beam. To get there,
jump off the handle of the nearby fork, and keep swinging your weapon whi
le you
are in the air. This will make you stay up a little longer and let you reach
the chest if done right. If you have trouble, you can also just come back later
once you have Air Slide.
Anyway, this is all five materials collected. You will have a short scene wit
h
Jaq, and then you will be tasked with finding some pearls as a final addition
to the dress. Head back to the Wardrobe Room... and surprise, surprise, there
's
a boss waiting for you!
+-BOSS FIGHT: LUCIFER---------------------------------------------------------

+
| Status effect vulnerabilities: Stun |
| Reward: DIAMOND DUST COMMAND STYLE
|
| |
| Lucifer's actually quite a bit easier than the Mad Treant was, but even so, |
| you should arrange for some healing. The best option is to buy Cure from
|
| the Moogle shop. Failing that, you can equip a Potion or to be ready to use
|
| the Aqua D-Link. Aqua also has strong ranged attacks, which are handy her
e. |
| Speaking of which, you might want to equip your own ranged abilities too
|
| (Strike Raid or Fire for example). |
| |
| While on the ground, Lucifer will employ a variety of claw attacks. These
|
| happen quickly and with little warning, making it unsafe to go in for a |
| full Keyblade combo at any time. You can try some hit and run if you want,
|
| but if you're hurting, just stay back and evade him with Dodge Roll and/or
|
| Block. Speaking of which, Lucifer will sometimes come running at you
|
| full-speed. If you stand near a wall and then dodge roll out of the way at |
| the last second, Lucifer will run into the wall and get stunned, leaving |
| you time for a free melee combo. |
| |
| Periodically, Lucifer will get up on a high ledge of some sort, and then |
| jump down on you. If he only jumps up a little bit, then you can block or |
| evade, and you *probably* have time for a full Keyblade combo afterwards.
|
| Sometimes though, Lucifer will squawk a little and then jump really high in
|
| the air. Back off a bit and he will miss you. Now go in for a quick hit, |
| and then press Square to jump on top of him rodeo-style! You will be shown
|
| a sequence of buttons. Take your time to see what each button is, and then
|
| press it. If done right (and it's not too hard as long as you don't rush |
| yourself), Lucifer will crash into a wall, you will get a huge combo on |
| him, and your finish command will be fully charged to boot! |
| |
| So all in all, I recommend playing pretty conservatively until Lucifer |
| opens himself up for a rodeo attack, and then taking advantage. As always,
|
| you can speed things along with a couple Shotlocks if you want. |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
For completing the world, you will also get the CINDERELLA D-LINK,
the STROKE
OF MIDNIGHT KEYBLADE, and the ROYAL BOARD.

You begin this world in Aurora's Chamber and you will need to make your
way to
Maleficent's castle. The path is pretty straight and there aren't any
surprises, so just keep going until you get there. (Don't forget to pick up the
chest in the Tower Room and to check for Prize Pods in the Audience Cham
ber
though!)
Once you reach Maleficent's Castle, things will become more complicated. F
irst
of all, you will be fighting lots of pig soldiers. In large packs, these guys
can be pretty dangerous. They are aggressive, they have strong melee attacks
,
and they can also pester you from range with arrows. The good news is they
are
completely incapacitated by elemental magic: Fire, Blizzard, and Thunder. S
o if
you are having trouble, be sure to equip those spells.
There are five chests in the Gates area, but three of them are up on the
ramparts and you can't get up there yet. Do be sure to pick up and equip C
URE
from the north corner before continuing on though. Why? Because the next
room
includes a mandatory and prolonged fight against many, many pig soldiers!
With
Cure equipped, you can just step back and heal whenever you get hurt. Don'
t be
afraid to use Shotlocks and D-Links as well, but mainly, you just have to pl
ay
it safe with Cure.
The next room can be pretty confusing. There are lots of walls that pop up
only when you get close, and to get through the room, you will have to use
teleporters. Here's a map of how everything is laid out:
West entrance --- Blue Teleporter --- Orange Teleporter --- Northeast exit
Southeast staircase & HI-POTION --- Green Teleporter --- WELLSP

RING CRYSTAL&
HUNGRY CRYSTAL
/--Purple Teleporter --- MAGNET & CONFETTI STICKER

Southeast door
\--Yellow Teleporter --- Red Teleporter --- Altar
To get everything, do the following:
- You start off at the west entrance in the Hall.

- Keep following teleporters until you get to the northeast exit.
- This takes you to the Dungeon. Without falling down into the center of th
e
room, cross over to the west ledge, pick up the chest there, and then take
the stairs to reach the southeast staircase in the Hall.
- Follow the teleporter, pick up the chest, and return to the Dungeon.
- Now fall down into the center of the room, and then take the nearby exit t
o
get to the southeast door in the Hall.
- The teleporter here switches colors periodically. Go through it when it is
purple, pick up the chest, and return.
- Now take the teleporter when it is yellow, and follow this to the altar.
After a cutscene, a new teleporter will open up between the altar and the wes
t
exit, making navigation a little bit easier. Once you get everything, head bac
k
out to the Throne Room. It's time for the world's main boss battle!
+-BOSS FIGHT: MALEFICENT---------------------------------------------------

---+
| Elemental resistances: 50% damage from thunder |
| Reward: HP BOOST, THUNDERBOLT COMMAND STYLE
|
| |
| Maleficent is a caster-type boss. She will teleport, cast an offensive |
| spell, and then repeat. Here's the full list of attacks that she will use |
| against you. |
| |
| 1. Teleport somewhere and then twice shoot dark lightning from the top of
|
| her staff towards the ground you are standing on. Move or jump to the |
| side to avoid this. If you get close to Maleficent during this time, |
| you should be able to get a quick combo off as she disappears again. |
| |
| 2. Swing her staff at you. This can happen after she teleports right next |
| to you or if you hit her too much without letting her teleport. |
| |
| 3. Teleport to the center of the room, chant, and send out rings of dark |
| energy. If you touch one of these rings, you will be stunned for five |
| seconds during which time Maleficent will hit you. |
| |
| But, during this attack, you will also see a circle of light on the |
| floor. Head over there and press Square when prompted (jumping over
|
| Maleficent's rings if needed). This will pop up a little mini-game. |
| Press the highlighted button to start, and then a cursor will move |
| around (either clockwise or counter-clockwise), highlighting each |
| button in turn. Keep pressing the buttons as they are highlighted. If |
| you do it right, you will cancel Maleficent's attack and put her to |
| sleep. Now go in for a combo - you should be able to charge up your |
| Command Gauge completely and use a proper finish command before she
|
| can counter-attack. |
| |
| 4. Teleport to the highest point in the room, turn the screen black, and |
| continuously summon columns of dark energy all around you. Just keep
|
| dodge rolling around to stay safe. |
| |
| The basic idea is this: wait for Maleficent to attack and then dodge it. If |
| she does the lightning attack, you can hit her a couple times as she |
| disappears. If she does the dark ring attack, then you can do a lot of |
| damage while she's asleep. Be patient and you'll get her down safely. |
| |
| Near the end of the fight, Maleficent will sometimes turn into a vortex and
|
| fly around instead of teleporting normally. This damages you if it touches |
| you, so use Dodge Roll to stay out of its way. Otherwise proceed as before.
|
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
For clearing the world, you will also be rewarded with the FAIRY STARS
KEYBLADE.
If you now go back to the Gates, you will find that someone (I wonder who!
)
has destroyed some of the ramparts. In the far northwest corner, and straight
ahead when you enter from the south, you will find places you can climb up.
From there, you should be able to pick up the three remaining chests in the
area. You might also notice some wheels on the ramparts that you can target
but
can't interact with. Don't worry about them for now - they are important onl
y
in Aqua's story.
There's also one extra chest in the Dungeon area, but it is tricky to get right
now. If you have a high level Sliding Dash or Fire Dash command, that shou
ld
help you jump across to it. Otherwise, return with Air Slide or High Jump.

+-BOSS FIGHT: VANITAS ROUND 1--------------------------------------------

-----+
| Status effect vulnerabilities: Stun, Freeze, Ignite, Poison, Zero Gravity, |
| Magnet |
| Reward: NONE |
| |
| This is pretty much the same fight as Vanitas Round 2 (see below), except
|
| you are on your own here. After 2 minutes pass or either you or Vanitas is
|
| reduced to 50% health, the fight will end. |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Vanitas is apparently not one for sticking to long drawn-out plans, is he? Bu
t
fortunately for you, Mickey comes to save your butt and it's on to...

-----+
| Status effect vulnerabilities: Stun, Freeze, Ignite, Poison, Zero Gravity, |
| Magnet |
|
| |
| Vanitas isn't too flashy (yet!) but he's fast, he's unpredictable, and he |
| hits like a truck. So this fight is going to be tough even with Mickey's |
| help. You should equip Cure for sure, and you might want to equip a Potion
|
| as well. Magnet and Aero-type spells are also effective for a magic deck - |
| more on them in a bit. |

| |
| Okay, here are the attacks Vanitas will do: |
| |
| 1. A two-hit combo starting with a long dash, meaning you can be hit even
|
| at a distance. |
| 2. A slow fireball that soon splits into five fast homing fireballs. |
| 3. Jump into the air (possibly covering a long distance to get to you), |
| and then spray the ground with dark lightning. |
| 4. After being hit, Vanitas will also sometimes leave a stationary image |
| of himself behind, appear above you, and come down with a dive bomb
|
| attack. |
| |
| Since you don't have Counter Rush yet, the best way to avoid these attacks
|
| is Dodge Roll. Just keep moving at all times, and be ready to dodge roll as |
| soon as Vanitas does something. Note: If you have already done Aqua's
|
| story, this is very different from how she should fight Vanitas. Not having |
| a good counter-attack ability changes everything. |

| |
| The problem is at some point you are going to want to fight back, and then
|
| Vanitas's speed and unpredictability becomes a big problem. In the middle
|
| of a Keyblade combo, he could easily teleport above you for a dive-attack
|
| or he could slide away and then get you with his own combo. This means on
e |
| thing: DO NOT EXPECT TO GET OFF FULL COMBOS AGAINST VANITA
S! If you are low |
| enough level that Vanitas's counter-attacks are a big problem (I certainly |
| was), you have a couple options: |
| |
| Option 1: Use Keyblade attacks anyway, but try to avoid being hit. This |
| is hard but requires no special preparation. Every time you |

| smack Vanitas, you should pause for a split second before |
| attacking again. Did he stagger from your hit? Okay, THEN you |
| can attack again. As long as you are pretty fast, you can keep |
| the combo going even with the pause. If Vanitas is not |
| staggered, you need to immediately dodge roll to avoid his |
| counter-attack. You might also want to avoid doing a third hit |
| no matter what. The third hit is so slow that even if Vanitas |
| was staggered before-hand, he can sometimes still recover |
| before you do (which is bad). |
| Option 2: Use Aero and Magnet. If you use Aero and then Magnet right
|
| after Vanitas does the lightning spray (attack #3), they are |
| pretty easy to hit with. They both hold Vanitas in place, and |
| most importantly, Vanitas is not prone to counter-attacking out |
| of the magnet spell. Unload on him with spells while he is |
| trapped up there! This method is reliable and powerful, but it |
| does require setting up a good command deck first. |
| |
| Do these methods sound slow? Well, they are a little. But fortunately, |
| Mickey's going to be helping, and he does good damage. He will also
|
| sometimes give you reaction commands you can activate with the Square
|
| button: |
| |
| Block: As with the Snow White escort, if you are nearby when Mickey is
|
| getting attacked, you can press Square to protect you both. If you |
| actually block something this way, you can press X to follow it |
| with a nice counter-attack. |
| Pearl: Sometimes Mickey will charge up an aura around him. If you press
|
| Square near him, the two of you will unleash an aura attack. This |
| was pretty weak for me, but at higher levels, I think it can do |
| good damage. It also makes you invincible, but unfortunately there |
| is a decent chance you'll get hit right as the attack ends. |
| |
| You can also use Shotlocks if you want. Again, the main disadvantage is yo
u|
| might get hit right as the Shotlock ends. |
| |
| No matter how careful you are, you will probably get hit though, and |
| Vanitas hits hard. So you are going to want to heal. Since Vanitas is so |
| aggressive, you should wait until he has just finished an attack before |
| trying anything. There's nothing quite as crappy as getting pelted by |
| lightning in the middle of your spell. Another really handy trick is that |
| Vanitas won't follow you if you get on the other side of a rock pillar from |
| him. So if you need a breather, get back there, hope Mickey comes with you
|
| (so he doesn't keep attacking Vanitas and trigger a counter-attack), and |
| then just wait until you're ready to go again. |
| |
| That's pretty much it, so good luck! This fight is hard. Don't be afraid to |
| take a break and gain some levels if you are getting frustrated. |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
After the fight, you will also get the HIGH JUMP ability (don't forget to
equip it!) and the MICKEY D-LINK.

Reunion time! Actually, this reunion doesn't go so well, and you will soon f
ind
yourself running after an angry Terra. Head back to the Central Square, and
you
will be interrupted by a forced battle against more Unversed. There is yet
another new and dangerous enemy here:
- The Chrono Twister looks like a giant hourglass, and is one of the nastiest
enemies in the game. Even at long range, it can stop time for you until you
escape by wiggling the analog stick. Needless to say, this is very bad. The
trick is the Chrono Twister will use this ability only when all of its sand
falls into the bottom half. When that is close to happening, hit it with the
Keyblade to turn it upside-down and reset the timer!
Afterwards, you will get an amusing cutscene with Even and Ienzo (aka Ve
xen and
Zexion), and you will get REVERSAL as a reward. If you equip Reversal, t
hen
pushing Square at the instant you are attacked will cause you to slide behind
the enemy instead of blocking. Personally, I think this ability is terrible.

It's hard to use correctly and most likely, it will kick in when you mean to
block and possibly get you in trouble. It's kind of fun, but I prefer not to
equip it.
Now head out through the south exit to reach the Outer Gardens. After anoth
er
failed conversation with Terra, pick up the chests and then head back to the
Central Square yet again to complete the world and get the FROLIC FLAM

|
| In the southeast corner of the Town Near Thebes. You have to clear the
|
| world first though. |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Like Disney Town before it, Olympus Coliseum is fairly short and fairly ea
sy
with Ven, as long as you prepare a little bit (more on that later).
You start off in the Town Near Thebes squaring off against some Unversed
with
Hercules and Zack as allies. For the most part, this fight should be pretty
straightforward. Just watch out for the Buckle Bruisers (they look like
Bruisers but they have shields on both arms) and the Jellyshades. The first
guys are immune to most attacks from in front, and they are likely to
counter-attack quickly. Hit them from behind and use ranged attacks if you
have
any equipped. The Jellyshades go down fast enough but they can hit you har
d
with little warning, so watch your health, and think twice before running
head-first into a mob of them.
Once that fight is taken care of, head into the Vestibule and speak with
Hercules to do some training.
+--TRAINING: ROUND 1----------------------------------------------------------

+
| |
| Your goal is to get 15 points in 30 seconds. You get 1 point for destroying |
| a small urn, and 5 points for destroying a big one. Of course, big urns |
| take multiple hits to destroy. Just run around attacking things. You won't |
| fail. |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
And then talk to Hercules again for more:
+--TRAINING: ROUND 2----------------------------------------------------------

+
| |
| This time you have two whole minutes, and your goal is to get more points
|
| than Hercules. This is basically the "Break the Urns" mini-game, so see |
| Section MIN:BU for more information. |

| |
| (The basic idea is to always prioritize barrels, and if one goes rolling, |
| jump on top of it to become an urn-killing machine for a little while.) |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Now it's time to enter the tournament, right? Nope! For the first time ever,
there is an Olympus Coliseum tournament and you don't compete. Instead, y
ou get
to save the day in town.
+--BOSS FIGHT: JELLYSHADE ARMY------------------------------------------

------+
| |
| If you don't know what to do, this fight can be pretty nasty even with |
| Herc's help. There are a ton of Jellyshades, they hit hard, and they hit |
| with little warning. So what should you do? Abuse Thunder Roll! What's
|
| Thunder Roll you ask? It's an ability you can get from the Hunny Pot |
| Command Board, which you should have already picked up in Radiant Gard
en. |
| (You can also do command melding, but that takes some big ingredients.)
|
| |
| If you have Thunder Roll equipped, you can just roll around among the
|
| Jellyshades, laying waste to everything near you without making yourself
|
| vulnerable for more than a split second! |
| |
| If you don't have Thunder Roll and don't want to get it, your best bet is |
| area-of-effect spells (e.g. Magnet/Aero/Mine). Just try not to run into the |
| middle of big groups where you might get smacked around before you get a
|
| spell off. Sometimes, you can also go up to Herc and press Square for a |
| joint attack. Whirl the analog nub and then push X as prompted by the game
|
| for maximum coolness. |
| |
| If you are having trouble, get Thunder Roll or more Magnet spells. |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
For completing Olympus Coliseum, you will get the MARK OF A HER
O KEYBLADE and
the ZACK D-LINK. You can return to the world and talk to Hercules to do t
he
"Break the Urns" mini-game again (see Section MIN:BU) and get SONIC
BLADE.
Now that you have Air Slide, you can also go back to the Enchanted Domin
ion and
pick up TORNADO STRIKE from the Dungeon if you have not already done
so.

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Deep Space begins with a boss fight right off the bat.
+--BOSS FIGHT: METAMORPHOSIS ROUND 1---------------------------------

---------+
| Reward: WINGBLADE COMMAND STYLE |
| |
| You have to fight a giant space jellyfish, and the thing with giant space |
| jellyfish is that they live in outer space. And that means you will have to |
| fight on your Keyblade bike. Here are the controls: |
| |
| Triangle: Charge (a dash attack) |
| O: Jump |
| Square: Barrier (similar to Block but it works in all directions) |
| X: Air Gyre (a short range attack) |
| |
| Pretty much the only important ones are Square to protect yourself and X to
|
| attack. |
| |
| So anyway onto the boss. It can attack you either by staying upright and |
| spinning around, or by turning and ramming you with its head. After either
|
| attack, you have time to run up and hit it once, or if you are feeling |
| lucky, twice. After that, back off because the Metamorphosis might do the
|
| spin attack right away. If it does, great: use Barrier and repeat from the |
| start. Otherwise, the Metamorphosis will turn and fly away from you. Chase
|
| after it and keep swinging until it turns again. This means the |
| Metamorphosis is about to do the ramming attack, so block it, and once
|
| again, repeat from the start. |
| |
| Overall, it's a pretty simple pattern and you don't even need to do a full |
| bar of health to win. The one catch is you cannot heal since you don't have
|
| your normal command deck. So if you're low enough level for damage to be
an |
| issue, try to play cautiously. |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
When the fight is done, you will get an amusing cutscene with Stitch (becau
se
really, EVERY cutscene with Stitch is amusing), and you will be deposited
in
the Ship Corridor area. The first thing you should do is go through the door
behind you to the Durgon Transporter. You will find a chest here, and if you
're
lucky, also the world's Prize Pods.
After that, go back to the Ship Corridor and then head forwards. Some walls
will come down in a trap, leaving you to fight through six groups of Unverse
d.
With so little room to maneuver, things can get a little tricky. Be sure to
pack some healing, and don't hesitate to use D-Links and Shotlocks to give
yourself an edge. Once everything is clear, you will reach the world's first
save point.
The next room is called the Ship Hub, and it is a little interesting. The room
is pretty much one big shaft, and you won't be able to climb up by normal
methods. Fortunately, there are a couple computer terminals, and if you
activate these, you can turn gravity off. You will then be able to jump really
high and climb up to the exit. The only catch is one of the chests here will
float away while gravity is off, so you need to turn it back on temporarily to
pick up that chest.
Shortly afterwards, you will reach the Launch Deck, another room with a gr
avity
terminal. The first thing you should do is drop down to the terminal, turn off
gravity, jump back up to where you entered, and then jump and air slide acr
oss
the room to the high chest on the east side. Then fall back down, turn gravit
y
off, pick up the two chests on the bottom floor, and climb up to the east exit.
You will reach another save point here, and then it's on to the boss fight: a
rematch against the Metamorphosis.
+--BOSS FIGHT: METAMORPHOSIS ROUND 2---------------------------------

---------+
|
| |
| The Metamorphosis begins by flying around harmlessly and then attaching
|
| itself to the lower part of the engine. While it is attached like this, it |
| will be sucking power from the ship. If the gauge in the top-left corner |
| fills up, the ship will be destroyed and it's game over. You need to |
| interrupt the Metamorphosis before that happens by hitting it. After that |
| is taken care of, you should run to the back of the room and use the |
| computer terminal to turn gravity off. (It will stay off for the rest of |
| the fight.) |
| |
| Later in the fight, the Metamorphosis will always try to attach itself to |
| the engine far away from you. In particular, while you are on the ground, |
| it will use only the topmost part of the engine. If the gravity is off, you |
| can just jump up onto a beam and hit him from there. Alternatively, you can
|
| wait for Stitch to start bouncing up and down. When that happens, go up to
|
| Stitch, press Square and then X to pick him up and chuck him at the boss.
|
| This will do a little damage and interrupt the engine-sucking. It can be |
| pretty slow though, so it is usually better to keep gravity off and hit the |
| Metamorphosis yourself. |
| |
| After the initial sequence, the Metamorphosis will do one of the following:
|
| |
| 1. Charge around the room a couple times at a very fast pace. It moves |
| pretty erratically, so this can be tricky to dodge by normal means. |

| One good option is take advantage of low gravity and jump to safety. |
| Block also works alright if you lock on to the Metamorphosis first, |

| but it is a little finicky. |
| 2. Charge at a much slower pace directly towards you. Walk, jump, or
|
| dodge roll out of the way. |
| |
| The Metamorphosis will now turn upright and, after a couple seconds, it
|
| will try to attack you with one of the options from the list below: |
| |
| 1. If you are up close: a single spin, which does only minimal damage. |
| 2. A long extended spin. The Metamorphosis can move towards you while
|
| spinning. |
| 3. Fly towards you with lightning raining down underneath it. |
| |
| The first attack here is a non-threat, but the other two can be dangerous, |
| especially if you are low level. So you have a few options. The first is to |
| go in, Keyblade blazing and hope for attack #1. If that's what happens, |
| you'll do a lot of damage and not get hurt much. If attack #2 or attack #3 |
| happen, do your best to get out of there (jumping out of the way is good, |
| or you can try to get to the other side of the pillar), but probably you |
| are going to get hit. Mash Square to protect yourself from some of the |
| extended spin with Payback Raid. |
| |
| If you are high level or are playing on an easier difficulty setting, this |
| approach works great. If not, you'll need to be more cautious. Poke the |
| Metamorphosis once or twice if you want, but then wait for it do something.
|
| If it does attack #2, use Block and then Counter Rush (push X after |
| blocking). There is some chance this will not interrupt the Metamorphosis,
|
| in which case you want to keep mashing Square for Payback Raid ASAP. If
|
| the Metamorphosis does attack #3, jump away or run around the pillar. If it
|
| does attack #1, you can just go in swinging and eat the low-damage |
| follow-up. |
| |
| No matter what, the Metamorphosis will stick with just one attack for now.
|
| So if it does attack #1, it will keep doing that until it next attaches |
| itself to the engine. Once it turns so it is no longer upright (usually |
| after two attack #1s, one attack #2, or one attack #3, unless you or Stitch |
| interrupt the Metamorphosis early by hitting it), you can attack it again |
| safely. Soon after, it will latch itself onto the engine and the whole |
| sequence will repeat. |
| |
| Later in the fight, the Metamorphosis will get a couple new tricks. First |
| it will turn partially invisible at certain points. This is inconvenient, |
| but doesn't really change much. The Metamorphosis's other trick is it will |
| now shoot a bolt out of its tail before doing a slow charge (attack #2 in |
| the first list). Just dodge the bolt and get ready for the charge. The |
| Metamorphosis will usually be pretty far away, making the dodge pretty
|
| easy. |
| |
| If you are having trouble, ask yourself whether you are dying because you
|
| are taking too much damage or because you are being too slow. If you are
|
| taking too much damage, be less aggressive. It is actually possible to beat |
| the Metamorphosis by attacking ONLY when it is sucking the engine, during

|
| which time you are completely safe. If you are being too slow, practice |
| getting to the Metamorphosis faster when it starts sucking the engine, and |
| try also to be more aggressive during the rest of the battle. |

626 D-LINK, and the SPACESHIP BOARD. You can also get two more che
sts by
returning to Deep Space and going to the Machinery Bay (where you fought
the
boss). Use the computer terminal to turn off gravity and get to the catwalks.
There is also a new outside area available, connecting the Durgon Transport

type
of enemy and the chance to fight more on your Keyblade bike.
If you are interested in 100% completion, make sure to defeat a Glidewinde

where those two enemies appear.

| In the Mermaid Lagoon on the northwest cliff top. You will have to go to
|
| the Cliff Path, jump on the highest cliff top there, and then go to the |
| top exit to reach these guys. |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
You begin at the Seacoast. First go through the exit behind you to pick up th
e
chest at the Rainbow Falls: Base area. Then backtrack to the Seacoast, and
go
forward to reach the Mermaid Lagoon. For now, you can only follow the ro
ad
along the cliff and out the exit. Keep going and eventually you will reach a
save point, and then the Indian Camp where you saw the cutscene with Mic
key
and Vanitas earlier.
You will now have a battle against Unversed, which depending on your level
,
might be pretty hard. I was level 18 and my attacks barely damaged the ene
mies.
In the second wave, be sure to run around to where each of the Mandrakes is
hiding so as to force them above ground where they can't hurt you. In the thi
rd
wave, you will have to deal with three Wild Bruisers. These gorilla Unverse
d
can charge you, can stomp the ground near them for a shockwave, and can s
hoot
earth spikes along the ground. These are all very high damage attacks so pay
attention to them. If there is just one Wild Bruiser, you can keep hitting him
without letting him recover, but you will have to play more defensively agai
nst
three at once. Blocking and countering the rush attack is a particularly usefu
l
trick. If the monsters seem too strong, now would be a good time to check o
ut
the Mirage Arena. If you do a couple rounds there, your level will catch up.
Once you are done, you can jump off the trampoline in the Indian Camp to g
et
up near the top of the totem pole. Hit it to get THUNDAGA. Just keep attac
king
while you are at the height of your jump, and you should get high enough aft
er
a few tries.
When you are ready, head back to the Mermaid Lagoon for another cutscen
e and
the GLIDE ability. To continue on from here, you need to get out onto the
center island (you can just jump into the water and climb up from there) and
then jump to the northwest. Be sure to pick up the chest in the northeast
corner of the water while you are down there though.
This will get you to the Cliff Path. There is a chest hidden here behind a roc
k
pile in the northwest corner. Just keep hitting it with your Keyblade to
destroy it. Also, if you jump onto the cliff-top and then air slide or glide to
the nearby tree-top, you will find an exit in the cliff wall. This will take
you to the highest cliff-top in the Mermaid Lagoon where you will find anot
her
chest and the world's Prize Pods.
Once you have everything, head north again and you will reach the Cove, an
d the
world's main boss battle.
+--BOSS FIGHT: CAPTAIN HOOK-----------------------------------------------

----+
| Status effect vulnerabilities: Everything but Mini, Magnet, Warp |
| |
| This is a pretty fun fight. For the most part, Captain Hook will rely on a |
| variety of sword combos, all of which are pretty similar. You want to block
|
| all of these combos, and then counter (with Counter Rush). In general, you
|
| should never start a combo of your own unless you know it's safe. Here are
|
| the basic things that can happen: |
| |
| 1. Hook comes at you with a sword combo or jump attack. Block it, |
| counter ONCE (do not do a full combo), and wait for the next attack. |
| 2. Hook throws one or more explosive presents at you. He will do this if |
| you jump into the water, but usually not while you are on the island. |
| Just dodge the presents as best you can. |
| 3. Hook turns his sword sideways to parry your attacks. Do not attack him
|
| here or he will counter you. Be patient and wait for him to try |
| something else. |
| 4. Hook falls over after you have hit him a bunch. You can now combo hi
m |
| while he gets up. |
| 5. If you push Hook to the edge of the water, he will lose his balance |
| and start teetering. A single hit from your Keyblade will knock him |
| in, and then the crocodile will help you out. |
| 6. If Hook gets knocked into the water or you do a bunch of damage to hi
m|
| in a short time, he will get mad. Steam will come out of his ears, he |
| will stomp, and then come at you with a sword combo. You can hit him
|
| safely while he is steaming and stomping - just be ready to block by |
| the time his combo starts. |
| |
| All in all, it's pretty fun. Play defensively until Hook is vulnerable, and |
| then press your advantage. If you fall into the water, swim around until |
| you reach a place you can stand up underwater. You can then jump out from
|
| there, but watch out for exploding presents and the crocodile in the |
| meantime. |
| |
| If you are having trouble with this fight, try bringing Stop spells. Those |
| work very well here! |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
For clearing the world, you will also get the PIXIE PETAL KEYBLADE,
the SKULL
BOARD, and the PETER PAN D-LINK. Also, when you get the chance, be
sure to come
back for the last two chests in the Cove. You might also want to pick up
SUPERGLIDE from the high chest in Disney Town if you have not already
done so.

+--BOSS FIGHT: VANITAS ROUND 3-------------------------------------------

-----+
| |
| Remember the Vanitas fights from early in the game? Well, Vanitas has a f
ew |
| new tricks this time, and Mickey won't be here to help, but actually, it |
| should be easier now if you know what to do. Here are the attacks you are
|
| likely to see: |
| |
| 1. Vanitas summons a stream of Keyblades and flies around on top of them
,|
| pelting you with dark blizzard magic. Use Dodge Roll to avoid these |
| projectiles. You can also hit Vanitas while he's doing all this, and |
| it's even possible to interrupt him completely. If you know the attack |
| is coming, the best trick is to start a Shotlock while Vanitas is |
| running towards the Keyblade stream and then to unleash once he gets
|
| on. (After Vanitas actually starts circling you, you probably won't be |
| able to get a proper bead on him.) |
| |
| So how do you know this attack is coming? Well, Vanitas will begin the
|
| fight with it, and he will also usually do it after attack #2 below. |
| |
| 2. Vanitas dives into the ground, moves towards you underground, and the
n|
| emerges directly underneath you in a shower of fire bolts. He might |
| repeat this a few times. I like to dodge roll right over Vanitas while |
| he's underground. This way, you will be invincible when he emerges. |
| (This only works with regular Dodge Roll though - not Thunder Roll.)
|
| You can also just run away, but that's no fun. Mine Square and Mine |
| Shield are also effective if you have them. |

| |
| 3. A two-swing combo, similar to what Vanitas did before. This time, the
|
| second hit also shoots off a sonic blast. The blast doesn't do much |
| damage, but it can stagger you briefly, making it hard to get off a |
| counter-attack. The best option is to block Vanitas's combo and then |
| do Counter Rush. Failing that, you can hit him normally after he's |
| done. You have to be fast though. |
| |
| 4. A slow fireball that splits into five fast, homing fireballs. This is |
| the same as before. Dodge roll past it when it splits. |
| |
| 5. Vanitas jumps into the air and sprays the ground near you with dark |
| lightning. This is the same as before. Keep moving and dodge roll when
|
| it happens. |
| |
| 6. And of course, Vanitas wouldn't be Vanitas without his counter. After |
| being hit, he might leave a stationary image and then appear above you |
| to do a dive-bomb attack. |
| |
| One option you have is to deal with this fight pretty much exactly how you
|
| did Vanitas Round 2, although it should be easier now that you are much
|
| stronger. |
| |
| There is a new and better approach you can use this time though. If you are
|
| right up close to Vanitas, he will almost always use his two-hit combo, |
| which can be immediately blocked and countered for high damage. So after
|
| Vanitas finishes attack #1 (and attack #2 if he does it), I like to run |
| right up to him and do Block + Counter Rush as soon as he starts an attack.
|
| Then, instead of trying to do a combo, I just wait for him to attack again, |
| and then repeat. Sometimes he will counter with attack #6, but the beauty
|
| is that can also be blocked, so the same trick works! I know that it's |
| counter-intuitive to stay close to a high-damage boss like Vanitas, but |
| trust me: the fight becomes really easy once you get the pattern down. |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
After this, Vanitas reveals his true face at last, and it may be a bit of a
shock if you've played the other Kingdom Hearts games before. And then it'
s on
to the true final boss fight for Ven's story!
-----+
| Reward: None |
| |
| If you thought the last fight was disappointingly similar to the previous |
| battle against Vanitas, then this one should cheer you up. With the X-blade
|
| in hand, Vanitas now unleashes a new fighting style, and the epic level |
| goes through the roof. |
| |
+--PART 1---------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| For most of the fight, Vanitas will rely on the following attacks. |
| |
| 1. Vanitas holds the X-blade in the air, charging it up with fire. He |
| then lunges at you, creates a fire blast around him, lunges at you |
| again, and then jumps in the air to shoot a homing blast at you. Dodge |
| roll away from Vanitas to stay safe here. When he jumps up to do the |
| homing blast though, run up close. The blast will go over your head, |
| and you will be free to combo Vanitas when he lands. |
| |
| 2. Vanitas glows blue and charges at you through the air three times in a |
| row. This cannot be blocked, but you can dodge roll out of the way, |
| and then combo him when he lands. |
| |
| 3. Vanitas teleports behind you and does a short combo. He will do this |
| once as a counter-attack, and he will also do it repeatedly as a |

| regular attack. Try to block right as he appears. You can then hit |
| back with Counter Rush. |
| |
| 4. Vanitas jumps into the air and sprays the ground near you with dark |
| lightning. This is the same as before. |

| |
| 5. Vanitas does the traditional two-hit combo (without teleporting) but |
| this time, the heat-seeking sonic blast lasts for a long time. If you |
| manage to block the combo, use Counter Rush. |
| |
| Vanitas will be attacking constantly in this fight. Generally, you want to |
| dodge or block his attacks, and then do a combo of your own and/or Counter
|
| Rush. If he counters your combo, block and do Counter Rush. After that, he
|
| will often do the fire attack, so you probably want to back up. It IS |
| actually possible to interrupt a lot of Vanitas's attacks with damage, but |
| it's risky, so be careful. Magic can be safe and strong too, but sadly, |
| Vanitas can no longer be disabled by Aero + Gravity. |
| |
| Since Vanitas is so aggressive, healing can be a little tricky. If you |
| don't have Leaf Bracer, try to dodge an attack first, then heal right |
| after. Also, try to heal up to full right before dealing the "final" blow, |
| because this battle isn't over yet, and you won't be able to heal during |
| the second part. |
| |
+--PART 2---------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| With only a tiny sliver of health left, Vanitas destroys the whole stage, |
| and you will automatically D-Link with him. For the rest of the fight, you |
| will be flying around in space, and Vanitas will be using a slightly |

| smaller set of moves: |
| |
| Dark Splicer: Vanitas repeatedly teleports behind you and attacks. |
| Dark Spiral: This is the attack from before where Vanitas glows blue and
|
| charges at you three times. |
| Shotlock: You can see this coming because you will see (and hear) the |
| Shotlock targets get fixed on you. Vanitas summons a big laser |

| and sweeps it in your direction. The laser stays out for a long |
| time, but it stays on the "ground" (meaning you can jump over |
| it) and the range isn't too large. |
| |
| You can dodge these attacks well enough with Square, but unfortunately,
|
| that won't really help win the fight. |
| |
| Your goal here is to charge up your Command Gauge and then do a finish
|
| command. The way to do this is to repeatedly trigger a mini-game where yo
u |
| and Vanitas rush at each other. So the question is: how do you trigger this |
| mini-game? Well, you can trigger it by doing Dark Spiral while Vanitas is
|
| in the middle of a Dark Spiral attack himself, or in the middle of a |
| Shotlock. You can also trigger it with a Shotlock if Vanitas is in the |
| middle of ANY attack. I haven't been able to trigger the mini-game at all |
| with Dark Splicer, which makes that command pretty much useless.
|
| |
| So, here's the strategy. Vanitas always begins with a Shotlock. Use Dark |
| Spiral to trigger the mini-game once Vanitas's laser comes out. After that, |
| immediately charge up a Shotlock of your own while Vanitas is stunned, an

d |
| use that to trigger the next mini-game. (You don't need to charge it all |
| the way - it just needs to still be going when Vanitas begins his attack.) |
| After that, charge up one more Shotlock, and you should get a third |
| mini-game. After winning that, you should have filled your Command Gauge
. |
| Press X to win! |
| |
| So what's the mini-game? It's easy. If you trigger it with Dark Spiral, the |
| game will show you a rotating analog nub. Rotate your nub in the same
|
| direction to push Vanitas back and win. If you trigger it with a Shotlock, |
| the game will instead show you the X button. Tap it rapidly to push Vanitas
|
| back and win. |
| |
| If you don't know what to do, this part of the fight can be tricky, and you |
| won't be able to heal. But the method I gave is pretty foolproof I think. |
| Good luck! |

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Before you get too far into this world, let me repeat the advice I gave at the
beginning of Terra's story, in case you are still new to Birth by Sleep
gameplay. There are three things you should be using regularly to give yours
elf
an edge in combat:
at,
- D-Link. Unlike with other characters, you don't get the immediate bonus
of
healing during D-Links as Aqua, but the Terra and Ven D-Links do beco
me
very strong once you level them up a bit. Press right on the directional
pad to switch to the D-Link menu.
- Spellweaver and/or finish commands. These are activated whenever your
ve been
y use
l
do
that by using them!
Anyway, back to the Castle of Dreams! You will start off in the Foyer area.
Head up the stairs to meet Prince Charming and the Tremaine family, and al
so to
get the MAP. Now you need to leave the castle and head off to the Chateau
-
everything is very linear in this world so you shouldn't get lost. Be sure to
pick up chests and loot the Prize Pods as you go. (See the table above for all
the locations.)
Once you get to the house, approach the door and then talk to the Fairy
Godmother again to help Jaq the mouse.
+-BOSS FIGHT: JAQ ESCORT----------------------------------------------------

--+
| Reward: THUNDERBOLT COMMAND STYLE
|
| |
| You have to escort Jaq through the Wardrobe Room in Cinderella's house.
|
| There are not too many enemies in the way, but they can still be dangerous
|
| to both you and Jaq. |
| |
| First of all, I recommend equipping Slow. A single cast of this will make |
| every nearby enemy much easier to deal with. Once the enemies are slowed,
|
| you want to be spamming magic as much as possible so that you enter the
|
| Spellweaver command style. If you can then build up the Command Gauge
|
| further and do a Spellweaver finish command, you will be able to take out
|
| pretty much everything in sight. (Be sure to move around once the finish
|
| command starts, so that you hit as many creatures as possible.) The main
|
| threats here are the Bruisers (the big fat enemies), so keep an eye out on |
| any of those guys that appear, and in particular watch out for the |
| shockwaves they create when they jump. |
| |
| If at any point, a Square button appears on screen, you can press Square to |
| protect Jaq from an incoming attack. You can often follow this up by |
| pressing X to do a strong counter-attack. Mainly though, you just need to |
| stay near Jaq and constantly be using your strongest magic. If you have |
| trouble, you can always level up a little bit. |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
With a little more intervention from Aqua, Cinderella will produce her glass
slipper and off she goes. Sadly though, she won't be getting too far. Follow
her back towards the castle for the world's main boss fight.
+-BOSS FIGHT: CURSED COACH------------------------------------------------

----+
|
| |
| Like Terra and Ven's first bosses, the Cursed Coach is both strong and |
| complicated, at least for a game's first boss. It would be a good idea to |
| have some sort of healing available. If you have not already gotten Cure |
| from the Command Board mini-game, your best option is to equip a Potion,
or |
| max out your D-Link Gauge so that you can use that. |
| |
| The Cursed Coach will use the following attacks: |
| |
| 1. Spin around rapidly while moving towards you. This attack can do a lot
|
| of damage if it hits you dead-on. But if you block it (push Square as |
| the Cursed Coach gets close), you will knock the Coach over. You can
|
| then do one or two full combos before it gets up. Watch out though: it |
| will flail around a bunch when it does get back up. |
| 2. Walk towards you and attack a few times with its arms. You can (and
|
| should) also use Barrier to block this attack, but the Coach will not |
| be knocked over. |
| 3. Jump around a number of times, creating shockwaves wherever it lands.
|
| Again, use Barrier to protect yourself from the shockwaves. If you get |
| a Barrier off near the Cursed Coach, this will knock it down, just |
| like with the spin attack. |
| 4. Shoot out a number of smaller creatures called Thornbites. These guys
|
| will stick around until you kill them, but they are slow and have no |
| range, so it's easy to stay out of their way. You can try to kill them |
| if you want, but don't lose track of the Cursed Coach, because it is |
| the much bigger threat. |
| 5. Back up a bit, and then try to suck you into its mouth. This attack is |
| repeated three times or until you get swallowed. You can either just |
| stay back with Cartwheel, or you can maneuver behind the Coach while
|
| it does this attack. That will give you time to do a combo while it is |
| facing the wrong direction. Just watch out, because after the third |
| attempt on this attack, the Coach will often suddenly switch to |
| something more dangerous. If you do mess up and get swallowed, mash
X |
| to get out. |
| 6. Fly up in the air and shoot volleys of bombs at the ground. These |
| cannot be blocked. Use Cartwheel and keep moving to stay safe. |
| |
| This is a fight that rewards patience. It is safe to attack if the Cursed |
| Coach starts rolling around randomly like it does at the start of the |
| fight, if you got behind it while it is trying to swallow you, or if you |
| knock it over. That's pretty much it. In all other situations, you should |
| back off and wait for the Cursed Coach to make the first move. Evade the
|
| attacks and counter as described above. |
| |
| If you are having trouble, remember to bring some form of healing. Also,
|
| don't be ashamed to level up more. That always helps a lot. |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
As a reward, you will get a Deck Command Slot, which lets you equip anoth
er
battle command, and your maximum HP will go up. You will also get the
STROKE OF
MIDNIGHT KEYBLADE, the CINDERELLA D-LINK, and the ROYAL

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
The Dwarf Woodlands start with you meeting the sleeping Snow White. You
r job is
to head to the queen's castle and look for help. Once again, this world is
pretty linear, so just follow the path through the woods. In the Courtyard
area, there is a chest on a high platform in the northwest corner. If you have
a high level Sliding Dash or Fire Dash command, you can get it now: jump
on top
of the wall in the middle of the courtyard, and then jump out to the chest. If
you don't have Sliding Dash or don't want to worry about the chest for now,
just remember it is here. You can come back later with High Jump and/or Ai
r
Slide.
The next area is called the Underground Waterway, and it is much more
interesting (unless of course you remember it from Terra's story). First notic
e
there are jugs that are constantly changing color. If you hit them while they
are green, they will recharge your health; if you hit them while they are blue
,
they will recharge your D-Link bar; and if you hit them while they are red,
they will explode, damaging both you and any nearby enemies! Plan accordi
ngly.
There are also a couple looms (spinning wheels). If you hit one of these, it
will open up one of the grates for a short time and you will be able to run
through. The first loom opens the route to the second loom, and the second
loom
opens TWO grates (the second grate is in the room behind the first grate). Y
ou
will have to hurry to get all the way through, but you can try as many times
as
you want. If you get through everything, you will get the FIRE spell, which
will be handy in the next room.
This next room is the Vault, and you will start on a high ledge. If you fall
off and want to get back, you will have to find a steam jet on the north side
of the room to propel you up. There is also a platform in the center of the
room, but the steam jet leading up to it is dormant. You need to first find the
steam jet (next to a furnace) just west of this platform. Hit the furnace with
the Fire spell you got in the previous room, and then the steam jet will come
alive, allowing you to go up.
Once that is taken care of, head on and you will reach the boss for the world
.
+--BOSS FIGHT: SPIRIT OF THE MAGIC MIRROR----------------------------

---------+
| Status effect vulnerabilities: Stun, Poison, Sleep |
| |
| This is a rather atmospheric fight inside the heart of the magic mirror. |
| You will have to deal with the following attacks: |
| |
| Attack 1: The spirit flies towards you, either directly or in a zigzag |
| pattern. Use Barrier to avoid taking damage. |
| Attack 2: The spirit pops out of the ground and shoots an ice bolt at you. |
| Use Cartwheel to avoid it and at the same time approach the |
| spirit for an attack or two. This sequence is always repeated |
| three times in a row. If you get hit by an ice bolt, you will be |
| temporarily confused, meaning your controls will be messed up. |
| Attack 3: Huge rows of spirits appear on either side of you, and they all |
| spit out fireballs. Just run (don't cartwheel) directly forwards |
| along the line to avoid all projectiles. If you happen to notice |
| that one of the spirits is smiling, then that is the real one. |
| Run up and combo it to stop the attack. Alternatively, you can |
| just keep running forward and the attack will end eventually. |
| Attack 4: Copies of the spirit appear and start spinning around you, |
| eventually shooting out a salvo of fireballs. Use Barrier to |
| avoid this. After blocking one salvo, you will be able to attack |
| back. Look for the spirit that is smiling (also the only spirit |
| that you can target with L+R), and instead of doing Barrier |
| again, run up and hit it after the spirits stop to attack the |
| SECOND time. If you try this the first time, you will just get |
| hit. |
| |
| When the spirit is not doing any of these attacks, it is safe to go on the |
| offensive. If you're lucky, you'll stun it and knock it to the ground. |
| Since Aqua is primarily a mage, offensive spells like Fire and Poison can
|
| be more effective than regular Keyblade attacks. Once the spirit starts |
| doing something though, stop attacking, and dodge as explained above. The
re |
| is no reason to take any damage if you are careful. |
| |
| One annoyance is the game sometimes lags during attack #3. This is the ma
in |
| reason why it is better to walk than to cartwheel. You might want to switch
|
| to 333 MHz in the options menu to minimize this lag. |
| |
| Note: If you have done Terra's story already, this fight is almost but not |
| completely identical to his version. Attack #2 replaces the flying |
| fire bolt attack here. Also, you should use Barrier instead of |
| Cartwheel/Slide for dodging attack #4. Everything else is the same. |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
You will also get the TREASURE TROVE KEYBLADE and the SNOW W
HITE D-LINK for
clearing the world.

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
You begin outside Maleficent's dark and foreboding castle, and Aqua - being
the
brave hero type - wants to explore. Lucky you! Head up the bridge to reach
the
Gates. Unfortunately, most of the ramparts here are inaccessible right now,
but
do be sure to pick up and equip CURE from the chest near the north exit.
Here and elsewhere in the castle, you will be fighting lots of pig soldiers. In
large packs, these guys can be pretty dangerous. They are aggressive, they h
ave
strong melee attacks, and they can also pester you from range with arrows.
The
good news is they are completely incapacitated by elemental magic: Fire,
Blizzard, and Thunder. So if you are having trouble, be sure to equip those
spells.
Anyway, head inside and you will get unceremoniously booted down to the j
ail
area. From there, your goal will just be to escape. It's pretty linear, so you
shouldn't have much trouble finding your way. The first real challenge is in
the Altar Room, where you will have to fight a bunch of pig soldiers. Try to
pick off enemies that are away from the main group - the main danger is get
ting
surrounded. If you get badly wounded, back off and cast Cure. The room is
huge,
so you should have no trouble finding a place to rest if you need time to
regain your Cure cooldown.
After the fight, you can take the exit in the northeast corner or in the south
wall to reach the upper platform of the Dungeon, where you can get one of t
he
two chests. The other chest requires jumping a long way, which you might n
ot be
able to do yet, even with Barrier Surge. If you are having trouble, just come
back later.
When you are ready, go out the west exit from the Hall, and then head on pa
st
Maleficent's Throne to get outside.
+--BOSS FIGHT: ESCAPE MALEFICENT'S CASTLE---------------------------

----------+
| Reward: HIGH JUMP |
| |
| The Gates are teeming with pig soldiers, and the route out has been blocked
|
| off. Your main goal here should be to kill any and all pig soldiers on the |
| ground. More enemies will be pelting you from the ramparts the whole time,
|
| so be ready to duck behind a wall and heal if necessary. |
| |
| Once you have killed all available pig soldiers, Philip will run over to |
| a spot by the ramparts and beckon to you. Go up to him, press Square, and
|
| then X to knock out a hole in the wall. You can then use that hole to climb |
| up. From there, you will find a wheel tucked into a corner. Smack it with |
| your Keyblade to open one of the gates blocking your way. There are two
|
| gates altogether, so you will need to do whole this sequence twice. |
| |
| One catch is that if you don't push X in time after pushing Square, more |
| pig soldiers will appear, and you will have to kill them before trying |
| again. So be ready to push X after pushing Square! Also, if all the enemies
|
| are dead on the ground, but Philip is still just following you, try walking |
| near the enemies on the edges of the ramparts. Some of them will jump dow
n, |
| and killing them will let you move on. |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Now just keep heading onwards through the forest until you reach the Bridg
e,
and the world's main boss fight.
+--BOSS FIGHT: DRAGON MALEFICENT--------------------------------------
--------+
| Reward: HP BOOST, FIRESTORM COMMAND STYLE
|
| |
| This fight can be pretty tricky if you don't know what you're doing. At |
| first, Maleficent will just stay on one end of the bridge, and use the |
| following attacks: |
| |
| 1. Breathe green fire, covering the entire bridge in front of her. Except |
| in one important case (see below), the only way to dodge this is to |
| run past Maleficent so you are behind her head. Just wait there until |
| the fire disappears. While you wait, you can pelt her with Shotlocks |
| and/or ranged spells. |
| 2. Biting attacks directly ahead of her. Stay back until she is done and |
| then you can hit her a couple times. |
| 3. Stomp on the ground, once with each front foot, causing shockwaves.
|
| This attack will be repeated three or four times without much pause, |
| and then unless you daze her, Maleficent will always follow up with |
| attack #4. You can combo Maleficent during this time, but try to time |
| it so that you are in the air while she is stomping. |
| 4. Maleficent rears up on her hind legs, then comes crashing back down.
|
| This can hit you if you are anywhere near her, even if you are in the |
| air. Either stay back or use Barrier. One of two things could happen |
| next. Maleficent could stop and pause, in which case her next attack |
| could be anything. More often though, she will repeat this attack |
| three to four times and then breathe fire (similar to attack #1, but |
| covering a little more range and lasting longer.) If Maleficent does |
| repeat the rearing attack, you will also hear Philip calling to you. |
| Run behind him, and he will protect you from the fire breath. You will |
| then be able to do the good old Philip combo where you push Square +
X|
| for a free hit on Maleficent. This stuns her too, so you should have |
| time to follow it with a regular combo. |
| |
| If you don't know what attack is coming next during this phase, you should
|
| stay close to Maleficent, and be ready to duck behind her. Once she commit
s|
| to attack #3 or attack #4 though, it becomes more predictable. Get in what
|
| hits you can, and then be ready to hide behind Philip. If you are having a |
| lot of trouble, you can do this entire section of the fight behind |
| Maleficent's head, pelting her with ranged spells from a safe distance. You
|
| can also be patient and attack only with the Philip combo. |
| |
| Eventually, Maleficent will switch her strategy and fly into the air. She |
| will (slowly) charge across the bridge, land on the other side, rear up |
| once, and then if you are in front of here, she will cover the whole bridge |
| with green fire. And then she will repeat. What you need to do is stay |
| close to Philip. As Maleficent begins her charge, you will get the option |
| of doing the Square + X combo to get catapulted onto her back. You can
|

|
| you don't want to fall off too soon. Once you do fall off, run to the end |
| of the bridge that Maleficent is at. You want to be a bit behind her when |
| she lands, protecting yourself with Barrier. Get a couple hits in, and then |
| everything will repeat. |
| |
| There shouldn't be any real surprises during this part - just be careful |
| you don't end up far away from Maleficent when she lands. If that happens,
|

-----+
| Gravity, Magnet |
| |
| Vanitas is very aggressive, and will constantly be coming after you with |
| one of the following attacks: |

| |
| 1. A two-hit combo starting with a long dash, meaning you can be hit even
|
| at a distance. |
| 2. A slow fireball that soon splits into five fast homing fireballs. |
| Unlike when Terra and Ven fight Vanitas, this CAN be blocked. |
| 3. Vanitas jumps into the air (possibly covering a long distance to get |
| to you), and then sprays the ground with lightning bolts. |
| 4. After being hit, Vanitas will also sometimes leave a stationary image |
| of himself behind, appear above you, and then come down with a diving
|
| attack. |
| |
| Except for the lightning, all of these attacks can be blocked by Barrier, |
| so you can TRY relying on Barrier and Counter Blast. Unfortunately, Vanit
as |
| is invincible in the middle of his combos, making this approach slow and
|
| tricky. |
| |
| That means it's time to take advantage of Aqua's main strength: magic! Loa
d|
| up on quick-cast spells like the following: Ignite, Poison, Magnet, Aero, |
| Blizzard, and Fire. Ignite is especially good since it ignores Vanitas's |
| high armor. More advanced spells are normally good if you have them, but
|
| don't bother with Ice Barrage - it is too slow. |
| |
| If you use any of these spells directly, there is a good chance Vanitas |
| will dodge out of the way and then counter you. So actually, you want to
|
| let him make the first move. Just keep cartwheeling around. If Vanitas |
| shoots a fireball, stop to block it with Barrier, and wait for the next |
| attack. Otherwise, he will do a combo or a lightning spray (depending on
|
| how far away you are), and your cartwheeling should keep you safe. You ca
n |
| then pelt him with a spell or two as he lands. Be ready to cartwheel out of |
| the way if he dodges or disappears to do the dive bomb, and then get ready
|
| for the next attack! |
| |
| The timing will probably take a little while to learn, but this method is |
| both fast and safe once you get the hang of it. One warning though: if you
|
| get hit, be careful when healing yourself. As above, cartwheel around until
|
| Vanitas attacks, THEN heal. You do not want your Cure spell to get |
| interrupted by a lightning bolt to the face! |

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Olympus Coliseum begins with a long but straightforward battle against so

me
Unversed. If you are having trouble here - especially if you aren't doing mu
ch
damage - consider gaining a couple levels and coming back. The Mirage Are
na is
one very good place to do that. You will soon have to do some timed fights,
and
if you aren't doing much damage, things will be pretty tough.
Once the Unversed are taken care of, Phil will fast-talk you into entering the
Coliseum games. Go speak with him in the Vestibule to get started.
+--BOSS FIGHT: COLISEUM TOURNAMENT-----------------------------------

---------+
| |
| You will have to clear ten groups of Unversed without a break and with a
|
| time limit during each round. Here is the exact list of what you are up |
| against: |
| |
| Round 1: 3 Scrappers (30 seconds) |
| Round 2: 1 Bruiser (15 seconds) |
| Round 3: 3 Spiderchests (30 seconds) |
| Round 4: 3 Blue Sea Salts, 3 Yellow Mustards, and 1 Axe Flapper |
| (40 seconds) |
| Round 5: 3 Hareraisers (15 seconds) |
| Round 6: 3 Mandrakes and 2 Axe Flappers (50 seconds) |
| Round 7: 3 Buckle Bruisers (50 seconds) |
| Round 8: 1 Chrono Twisters, 2 Red Hot Chilis, and 2 Blue Sea Salts |
| (50 seconds) |
| Round 9: 6 Shoegazers (40 seconds) |
| Round 10: 30 Jellyshades (40 seconds) |
| |
| The best thing you can do here is to set up your command deck so that you
|
| have one healing spell and a bunch of strong offensive magic. Now might be
|
| a good time to pick up Fission Firaga from the Dwarf Woodlands and Ice
|
| Barrage from the Enchanted Dominion. You will need Sliding Dash, Fire D
ash, |
| or Air Slide to reach both of these chests. They are very nice commands
|
| though, and they will let you clean up in the tournament! |
| |
| Other good abilities include Magnet spells, Aero spells, and Surge attacks.
|
| The time limits are much more generous here than they were for Terra, so a
s|
| long as you deal decent damage, you should be okay for rounds 1-9. |
| |
| Round 10 is a little different. The Jellyshades go down immediately to any
|
| attack, but they do hit pretty hard, and you might actually be in danger of |
| dying. Cartwheel away at the beginning of the round, and then use |
| area-of-effect spells to wipe out the Jellyshades from a distance. Magnet |
| works very well. |

| |
| Good luck! |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
After another cutscene, it is time to face Zack. If you have played Terra's
story already, you might be getting nervous, but don't worry: you only have
to
fight the easy form.
+--BOSS FIGHT: ZACK-----------------------------------------------------------+

| |
| Zack can do a log of damage in a hurry, but he is also easy to dodge. Here
|
| are the attacks he uses, all of which can be blocked by Barrier: |
| |
| Swing: Zack runs towards you, and then does a regular sword combo.
|
| Light Bolt: Zack shoots a homing bolt towards you along the ground. |
| Jump: Zack jumps up into the air and lands with a shockwave. Unlike whe
n |
| Terra fights Zack, this CAN be blocked. |
| |
| Since literally every single one of Zack's attacks can be blocked, one |
| option is to stay right next to him, press Square to block, and then hit |
| him back with Counter Blast and a follow-up combo. Just be aware that Zac
k |
| is invulnerable while attacking, so if he does not flinch after hitting |
| your Barrier, it is NOT yet safe to counter. Keep Barrier going until Zack |
| actually stops attacking. |

| |
| Pure offensive magic is also good. Zack is slower and more predictable than
|
| Vanitas, so after dodging one of his attacks (either by Barrier or by |
| Cartwheel), you should have time to unload with whatever magic you have.
As |
| long as you stop every few seconds to dodge Zack's next attack, you will be
|
| fine. |

Talk to Phil again for the final Olympus Coliseum battle.

|
| |
| If you remember the Ice Titan from Kingdom Hearts 1, you might be a little
|
| freaked out when you see your opponents. Don't be fooled by appearances
|
| though: this is another easy fight. The Ice Colossus here isn't anywhere |
| near as powerful as the Ice Titan was from Kingdom Hearts 1. |
| |
| Unless you go after him, Hades will just watch, so you can focus on the Ice
|
| Colossus first. If he is not facing you, the first thing the Ice Colossus |
| will do is slowly turn around. Every time he turns slightly, he will stomp |
| with his feet, creating a shockwave. Once he is facing you, he will do one |
| of the following three attacks: |

| |
| 1. Shoot a stream of ice pellets at you. You can evade this by running to |
| the side, but if you hold still, you will get hit no matter where you |
| are. The Ice Colossus will repeat this attack until you are no longer |
| in front of him. It is his most dangerous attack, so when he does it, |
| run behind him until he stops. |
| 2. Lean forward and breathe frost in front of him. |
| 3. Punch the ground in front of him, creating a shockwave. |
| |
| The only dangerous attack here is #1, and the Ice Colossus actually won't
|
| do it if you are close. So here's the strategy. Run underneath but slightly |
| in front of him. He will stop stomping and then do attack #2 or #3. These |
| are both slow and both will miss you down there, so you can use this time
|
| to hit his ankles with impunity. He will then start stomping again, so |
| repeat until dead. While he is stomping, you can either keep hitting him or |
| focus on evading the shockwaves, whichever you prefer. |

| |
| Once the Ice Colossus is down, Hades will get involved. He only has three
|
| attacks: |
| |
| 1. Walk towards you and then do a melee attack. |
| 2. Shoot a fireball at you. You can reflect this back at Hades with |
| Barrier. |
| 3. Glow red, shoot flames out around him in a spinning attack, and then |
| slowly move towards you. Hades is invincible during this attack. |

| |
| The great thing is everything but attack #3 can be interrupted by damage.
|
| So you can just walk up to Hades during a pause, and keep hitting him. |
| That's it! He won't be able to recover and fight back... unless of course |
| he does attack #3. If you see him glow red, back off and stay out of range |
| until he's done. Then go back to hitting him until he glows red again, or |
| dies. Compared to some of the other bosses in this game, it's a pretty easy |
| pattern. |
| |
| If you have trouble setting up the infinite combo, don't worry about it too |
| much. The traditional dodge/counter strategy works just fine: wait for |
| Hades to attack, counter with a single combo, and repeat. |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
You will also get the MARK OF A HERO KEYBLADE and the ZACK D-LI
NK. Furthermore,
you can return and talk to Hercules to try the "Break the Urns" mini-game (s

Deep Space opens with a short battle against the Unversed. As always, if the

enemies seem too hard, don't forget that you can level up at the Mirage Aren

Afterwards, the Grand Councilwoman will ask you to find Stitch and Docto

for her. When you are ready, move out along the one possible path, and you
will
eventually reach the Ship Exterior.
+--BOSS BATTLE: GLIDEWINDERS---------------------------------------------

| You will be on your Keyblade bike, which means you can't heal, but you
|
| shouldn't need to. Fly around, spamming Triangle to attack. If you get near

| long as you are constantly pushing Triangle, you should be okay. |
| |
| Another option is to use X, a charge-up ranged attack. Move to one side of
|
| the battlefield, stop, hold X to charge it, and then unleash heat-seeking |
| lasers on the Glidewinders. |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Air Slide is one of the most useful abilities in the game, so be sure to equip
it!
Now head back to the Durgon Transporter, and defeat enemies until the roo
m is
clear. Once everything is dead, you should be able to use the transporter in
the center of the room to reach Turo. In the next room here, you will meet
Stitch again and have another fight against the Unversed.
+--BOSS BATTLE: UNVERSED IN TURO PRISON BLOCK--------------------

-------------+
| |
| There's nothing special here. If you have gotten this far, you shouldn't |
| have any trouble against more random Unversed, especially with Stitch's
|
| help. |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
After the fight is over, you will once again be taken back to the Control Ro
om
to speak with the Grand Councilwoman. You can proceed via the southeast e
xit.
First though, you might want to head back to the Turo Prison Block. There a
re
Prize Pods at the far south end, and also several chests hidden in the
compartments. You can get to these using the various elevators. Unless you
have
already leveled up Air Slide, the easiest way to get into the east-side
compartments is to climb up on the west wall, go to the southwest corner, a
nd
then jump from there onto the far southeast platform.
By the way, I recommend NOT equipping Teleport when you get it. Like Ve
n's
Reversal ability, it will sometimes trigger when you mean to Barrier/Block,
and
it is really much worse. It is kind of fun though, so it's up to you.
When you do head onwards from the Control Room, you will reach the Shi
p Hub.
This room is pretty much one big shaft, and you won't be able to climb up b
y
normal methods. Fortunately, there are a couple computer terminals, and if
you
activate these, you can turn gravity off in the room. You will then be able to
jump really high and climb up to the exit. The only catch is the chests will
float away while gravity is off, so you need to turn gravity back on to pick
them up.
After that, it is time for the world's boss.
+--BOSS BATTLE: CAPTAIN GANTU-------------------------------------------

------+
| Status effect vulnerabilities: Poison |
| |
| The bigger they are, the harder they fall! That might not be true for every |
| boss in every game, but it's certainly true for this guy. Here are the |
| attacks he will use: |
| |
| 1. Shoot at you five times with his ray gun, pausing between each shot. |
| You can block this attack with Barrier, and the bullets will reflect |
| back into Gantu. If you do this for anything other than the fifth |
| bullet, you will get hit by the followup though. Usually it is better |
| to just run right at Gantu and start swinging away. He won't be able |
| to hit you when you are that close. After he is done shooting, Gantu |
| will walk around for a few seconds without attacking, giving you time |
| to hit him even more or to back off. |

| 2. Spin slowly in a circle, spraying everywhere with his ray gun. You can
|
| stay safe with Barrier, or you can also run up and hit Gantu while he |
| is firing. Gantu will always follow this with attack #3, so be ready. |
| 3. Charge towards you at high speed. You can stay safe and counter with
|
| Barrier, but Gantu often attacks again right after, so be careful. |
| 4. Swipe at you with his arms if you are nearby. This cannot be blocked |
| and it has high range, so the best way to avoid getting hit is to not |
| be near Gantu unless you know he's busy doing other things. |
| |
| Sometimes, you will also see Stitch jumping up and down. Run over to him,
|
| push Square and then X to throw him onto Gantu. This will distract Gantu,
|
| and leave him vulnerable for a combo or two. |
| |
| If you can beat the regular Unversed in Deep Space, this guy probably won'
t|
| be too hard no matter what you do. But if you want to play it smart, the |
| trick is to hit Gantu during attacks #1 and #2 or when he is stunned by |
| Stitch. The Mine spells are particularly effective. The rest of the time, |
| hang back and wait for Gantu to make a move. He telegraphs his attacks wa
y |
| in advance, so you shouldn't have trouble once you learn how to deal with
|
| each one. |

626 D-LINK, and the SPACESHIP BOARD. You can also get four more che

also a door lower down on the east side leading to a chest in the Machinery

to the south and keep going until Peter asks you and the lost boys to climb u
p
the mountain. He will make a bunch of booster orbs appear, and you will be
able to jump into these to get boosted into the air. Follow them up to the
Rainbow Falls: Ascent area.
This place is more interesting. You can fall off at any point, in which case
you'll end up back at the start. Your eventual goal is an exit on the west
side, and there are two routes to get there. You can either keep going straigh
t
forward (the bottom route), or before you reach the first booster orb, you ca
n
loop around back to find another booster orb behind you (the top route). The
re
are a couple chests available only via the top route, so I recommend that way
.
Eventually the route will end with seemingly nowhere to go. Just drop off th
e
platform you are on (picking up the Chip sticker as you fall), and you shoul
d
end up on a low platform on the west side with a couple chests. If you miss
the
jump, that's okay! Take the bottom route, and you will be able to see this
lower platform and jump to it.
From here, climb up, jump and air slide to the west and you will reach the e
nd.
The final part requires you to jump into three booster orbs in a row without
landing. It can be a little tricky, but you can try as much as you want, so you
should be able to get it eventually. Keep going from here, and you will com
e
back to the place you started! Stupid Peter. At least you get the cool
DOUBLEFLIGHT ability for all your hard work.
When you are ready, head west to the Indian Camp to meet an old "friend".

| |
| Vanitas is back and he has decided he no longer needs you around as a Plan
|
| B, which means battle time! He has higher stats now so you probably want t
o|
| be over level 20 to actually be able to do damage, but his fighting style |
| has not changed too much. See the description in WLK:A5 if you want a
|
| refresher course on how the Vanitas fight works. |
| |
| The main wrinkle this time around is Vanitas will now sometimes jump into
|
| the air and then burrow into the ground. He will follow you around and then
|
| emerge with an explosion once he gets close enough. He might also repeat
|
| this attack a few times in a row. To avoid it, I like to do a cartwheel |
| right over Vanitas as he follows you underground. This way, you will be
|
| invincible when he emerges. This only works with regular Cartwheel though
-|
| not Firewheel. You can also just run away, but that's no fun. The various |
| Mine spells are also effective here. |

| |
| After doing this submerge attack, Vanitas will also be powered up for a |
| while, which means his standard two-hit combo will shoot out a heat-seekin
g|
| sonic blast at the end. The sonic blast doesn't hurt too much, but it can |
| be a nuisance. |
| |
| The strategy here is pretty much the same as before. Dodge Vanitas's |
| attacks with Cartwheel, and then unload on him with quick offensive spells.
|
| He is no longer susceptible to Magnet, but most other magic works. Ignite
|
| is still particularly good. |
| |
| Overall, this fight is very similar to the previous one. Good luck! |

+--BOSS FIGHT: BRAIG----------------------------------------------------------+

| |
| In my opinion, Braig is by far the hardest of the story-mode penultimate |
| bosses, so get ready. Braig moves fast, he has a complicated pattern, and |
| he does not leave you many openings to attack. The good news is there is
|
| very little randomness, so once you learn what he's doing, the fight |
| becomes a lot easier. |
| |
| Braig will always cycle through the following attacks in order: |
| |
| 1. Braig teleports directly in front of you and charges at you while also |
| shooting lasers in a cone ahead of him. You can block the lasers with |
| Barrier but not the charge itself, and Braig will repeat this a bunch |
| of times until you hit him. What you want to do is target Braig with |
| L+R before he disappears, and then as soon as he reappears in front of |
| you, attack him. The timing is delicate but you take no damage and get |
| a free combo if you do it right. |

| |
| If you are having trouble with the timing, you can use Barrier as a |
| last resort. You will still take damage, but you will at least force |
| Braig to switch attacks. |
| |
| 2. Braig can do one of two things here: |
| - He can teleport somewhere on the ground, and shoot a volley of |
| lasers at you. Use Barrier to stay safe. If you get the Barrier |
| off, Braig will usually stop after a single volley. He will then |
| start attack #3 very soon, so just wait. Trying to do a full combo |
| will just get you hit. |
| - He can fly up in the air and shoot a volley of lasers at you from |
| there. This is similar to the previous option, and you should |
| still use Barrier to block the volleys, but there are two main |
| differences. First, Braig will usually do several volleys, and |
| second, after he lands, it takes a little longer for him to start |
| doing attack #3. If you are fast, you should be able to get off a |
| full combo. |
| |
| 3. Braig teleports twice in quick succession, and then runs around you, |
| shooting lasers towards the center. Use Barrier to block them all. You |
| want to know this attack is coming before it happens, so you have time |
| to react. You also want to not be right up against the edge of the |
| map, or Braig might run into you during the attack. |
| |
| 4. After attack #3, Braig will immediately begin charging up a powerful
|
| dark shot. This takes a while though, and you can hit him safely while |
| he does it. So as soon as attack #3 is done, just run up to Braig and |
| swing away. I recommend dodging the attack by jumping while right nex
t|
| to him, or by using a proper finish command. Cartwheel is pretty |
| tricky to time right. |
| |
| 5. This is the same as attack #2, except Braig will do whichever version |
| he did not do before. So if he was in the air last time, he will be on |

| the ground this time. |
| |
| 6. This is the same as attack #3. You only have time for a single combo |
| afterward though. |
| |
| 7. Braig quickly powers up, and then shoots a bunch of lasers randomly
|
| around the area. Barrier and Counter Blast work well here. After doing |
| that, Braig teleports around like a spaz before settling in the air in |
| the middle of the arena. He will then shoot dark lasers all around. |
| Avoid them by just running around the edge of the arena. As long as |
| you don't stop, you should be fine. Watch out though: the lasers stay |
| on the ground for a while and hurt you if you get close. |
| |
| After all that, Braig will repeat from attack #1 until dead. So as you can |
| see, the pattern is complicated but it is also pretty deterministic. Learn |
| what he's doing and how to counter each attack, and then you should be
|
| fine. Good luck! |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

-----+
| Reward: NONE |
| |
| Aqua's story ends with another "Vanitas" fight. He has the X-blade now and
|
| he is stronger than before, but you should recognize a lot of his attacks. |
| One new wrinkle (unless you have already played Ven's story) is that you
|
| will have Mickey by your side. The bad news is Mickey will often trigger a
|
| Vanitas counter-attack (attack #2 below) and get you hit if you aren't |
| careful. The good news is Mickey will also sometimes charge up an aura
|
| attack. Go next to him and press Square when the option presents itself to |
| do some easy damage. |

| |
| Vanitas will use the following attacks during this fight: |
| |
| 1. Two-hit combo. This is the same as before except there is always a |
| sonic blast, and it lasts longer than before. |
| |
| 2. Diving counter-attack. This is the same as before. Avoid using regular |
| combos if you are low health, and if you see the attack coming, use |
| Barrier or Cartwheel. |
| |
| 3. Jump and lightning spray. This is the same as before. Keep moving and
|
| use Cartwheel to avoid it. |
| |
| 4. Fly around on the ground, stabbing anything in his path. This attack |
| replaces Vanitas's traditional fireball and will only be used at long |
| range. You should respond with Barrier + Counter Blast, but the attack |
| is very sudden and you might get hit before you are ready. Just keep |
| trying to block: you'll get it off sooner or later. |
| |
| 5. Submerge into the ground, chase you around, and re-emerge with a
|
| fireball spray. This is pretty much the same as before. If you have |
| regular Cartwheel equipped, I recommend cartwheeling directly over
|
| Vanitas while he is underground. Otherwise, run away. Seeker Mine
|
| makes for an amazing trap here if you have that. |
| |
| 6. The most exciting attack is Vanitas will sometimes yell and teleport |
| to the middle of the arena to charge up. He will then jump and land |
| with a huge explosion along the ground. The best thing to do here is |
| to use a Shotlock. You will have lots of time to charge it up, it will |
| do a ton of damage, and it will keep you safe. If your Focus Gauge is |
| empty and Mickey is not bailing you out with an aura attack, back off, |
| and then do a cartwheel as the X reaches you along the ground. The |
| whole stage gets hit pretty much, but the cartwheel will make you |
| invincible at the right time. |
| |
| Although many of these attacks are straight from Vanitas Round 2, I still |
| recommend a pretty different strategy this time around. Vanitas is a lot |

| quicker now, and so trying to pelt him with spells can be hard. Instead, |
| you should stay pretty close and spam Square for Barrier. After you |
| successfully block something, press X to do a Counter Blast but do not do a
|
| regular combo. |
| |
| Since Vanitas will sometimes be invincible to your Counter Blasts, you will
|
| not be doing damage very quickly, but that's okay! First of all, Mickey is |
| going to be attacking a bunch, and that will help. Second, you should have
|
| very strong Shotlocks by now, and Vanitas opens himself up in a big way
|
| during attack #6. As soon as he teleports into the middle, hit him with a |
| fully charged Shotlock and watch his health drop like a stone. |
| |
| As always, one nasty thing against Vanitas is there is not much time to |
| heal. Unless you have Leaf Bracer, you should always dodge an attack first,
|
| and THEN heal. Right after attack #5 is a perfect time. If you have Renewal
|
| Barrier, that will help a lot too. |
| |
| Good luck! This is probably easier than Braig, so don't be too scared! |

+--BOSS FIGHT: MASTER XEHANORT-----------------------------------------

-------+
| Reward: NONE |
| |
| This is basically a repeat of Terra's final battle against Master Xehanort. |
| There are three main differences that I have noticed: |
| |
| - Master Xehanort is a little higher level here, so it will take longer |
| to kill him. |
| - Since you are playing Aqua, you have Barrier instead of Block. |
| - I don't think Master Xehanort does the meteor attack. |
| |
| Pretty much Barrier + Counter Blast is all you need. With the exception of
|
| the Keyblade cannon (which you should run away from), every single one of
|
| Master Xehanort's attacks can be blocked. Just stand near him, pressing |
| Square to block, and then X to counter. Since Xehanort will be attacking

|
| constantly, even the timing is easy. And if you have Renewal Barrier, Once
|
| More, and Second Chance, you shouldn't even need to heal. |
| |
| Because there are no meteors, the main threat here is the fast Dark Impulse
|
| combo which ends with a fist. You can block this just like everything else,
|
| but if you mess up, you can actually die from it even with Once More. So if
|
| you do get hit, be sure to mash Square to try to cartwheel out of the way. |
| |
| Seriously though: Barrier + Counter Blast. He won't stand a chance. |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+--BOSS FIGHT: MASTER XEHANORT AND GUARDIAN---------------------
--------------+
| Reward: NONE |
| |
| Alright, something new! This fight is pretty epic, but I wouldn't say it's |
| very hard. There are pretty long delays between attacks, so you should have
|
| plenty of time to back off and heal whenever you need to. Here are the |
| attacks you will be seeing: |

| |
| 1. Xehanort slides towards you along the ground, possibly segueing into
|
| the standard combo from the previous fight. If you see the attack |
| coming, you can stop it with Barrier + Counter Blast. |
| |
| 2. The Guardian shoots a couple volleys of dark balls at you. These are |
| easy to dodge or block, but if you do get hit, you will be blinded. If |
| that happens, just mash Square to cartwheel around until you can see |
| again. |
| |
| 3. The Guardian shoots a pair of energy blasts straight forward along the |
| ground. He will usually shoot two or three times with short pauses |
| between each volley. Avoid these with Cartwheel or just by running out
|
| of the way. (Barrier doesn't work.) |
| |
| 4. If you are very nearby, the Guardian might swing at you with its arms. |
| You can use Cartwheel or Barrier to avoid this attack. If you respond |
| with Counter Blast, the Guardian may swing again and hit you. It |
| doesn't hurt that much though. |
| |
| 5. The screen goes dark and the Guardian leaps high into the air. You |
| will then see a puddle appear below you and hear a sound. Cartwheel |
| immediately to avoid the Guardian leaping at you from the puddle. You
|
| will have to do this eight times! If you do get hit, it looks pretty |
| scary, but it isn't all that powerful. The other piece of good news is |
| there is time for one safe combo as soon as the screen goes dark. (You |
| have to be fast though.) There is also time for a couple combos after |
| the attack is done. |
| |
| Unlike the other "final" bosses in this game, Master Xehanort is pretty |
| vulnerable to regular combos here. Dodge an attack, then go in and hit him.
|
| There is some chance he will swing back with attack #4, but usually you
|
| will see the Guardian get stunned, and you will then have time for a full |
| combo. |
| |
| You can also use Shotlocks WHILE Master Xehanort is attacking, but do not
|
| use them while he is idle. He will immediately send out a shadowy arm,
|
| hitting you and canceling your attack. |
| |
| Later in the fight, the Guardian gets a new attack which is pretty cool: |
| |
| 6. Xehanort moves towards you slowly, then the Guardian leaves Xehanort
|
| and dives at you. You CAN avoid this with Barrier or Cartwheel, but I |
| recommend letting it hit you. Seriously. Do try to position yourself |

| some ways away from Xehanort when you get hit though. You won't take
|
| any damage, but the Guardian will hold you in place. Mash X to break
|
| free. If you are too slow, Xehanort will come and combo you. |
| Regardless of whether you break free on your own or Xehanort hits you,
|
| Terra will regain consciousness for a moment and you will be |
| transported to another dimension. |
| |
| Your goal here is to make it to Terra, but the Guardian will try to |
| stop you. If you are far away, it will shoot dark balls at you. If you |
| are close, it will do a swipe. So the trick is use Cartwheel to get |
| in a little bit, and then do one big jump to go the rest of the way. |
| The Guardian will swipe along the ground and miss you. Once you are
|
| next to Terra, press Square and then press X when the big circle you |
| see has almost disappeared. You will do a sweet aura attack if all |
| goes well. |
| |
| Be sure not to hit Terra with an attack though. If you hit him, the |
| Guardian will regain control and you will miss your chance. |
| |
| This new attack doesn't really change anything. It's just a fun opportunity |
| to see some cool animations. Remember: avoid Xehanort's attack, go in for
a|
| combo, and repeat. If you have gotten this far, you are more than ready to |
| take this guy down! |

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

[WLK:F2] Final Episode and Beyond: Vanitas's Lingering Spirit
======================================================
=========================
After you have beaten Master Xehanort in the Final Episode, another much
harder
secret boss becomes available in the three story modes. Load up any charact
er
and go to the Keyblade Graveyard from the world map. You can now land in
the
Badlands. Go there and walk up to the floating emblem for a new and very
hard
optional boss fight!
+--BOSS FIGHT: VANITAS'S LINGERING SPIRIT-----------------------------

--------+
| Elemental resistances: 50% damage from physical, 25% damage from every
thing |
| else |
| Reward: VOID GEAR KEYBLADE |
| |
| Vanitas's Lingering Spirit is just like Vanitas except he has a new black |
| suit, he has learned some new moves, and oh yeah, he's really hard unless
|
| you know exactly what to do! |
| |
| PREPARATION: |
| |
| Before even thinking about fighting this guy, I recommend doing the |
| following: |
| |
| - Get Once More and Second Chance. Renewal Block and Renewal Barrier
are |
| always useful too, but they are hard to rely on. (See Section COL:CM |
| for info on getting these and other abilities.) |

| - Get max level Slide/Dodge Roll/Cartwheel. Do not even THINK about
|
| sacrificing defense for offense with Sonic Impact/Thunder Roll/ |
| Firewheel. |
| - Get your character's strongest finish command, and consider getting |
| Finish Boost, especially for Terra. |
| - Get the best Keyblade you can find: Ultima Keyblade for Ven/Aqua, and
|
| Chaos Ripper for Terra. Yeah, the Mirage Arena is long and hard, but |
| this guy's harder. |

| - Level up. He *CAN* be beaten at any level, but unless you are looking
|
| for a serious challenge, I recommend level 40-50. |
| - Buy and equip lots of Potions. Yeah, that's right. Regular old, boring |
| Potions. Casting Cure makes bad things happen in this fight, and with |
| Once More+Second Chance, Potions give you the most healing per slot o
ut |
| of all the item choices. I used 20 Potions in 4 slots. If you are |
| playing Ven, you can use Faith or Salvation instead. |
| - Decide on an offensive strategy and fill the rest of your deck with |
| appropriate commands. See below for my recommendation with each of t
he |
| three characters. |
| - You might want to fill one slot with ice cream as well. You can use |
| this to safely recover if you switch into a bad command style. |
| |
| VANITAS'S ATTACKS: |
| |
| The next step is learning how to stay alive! You will be relying mostly on |
| Slide/Dodge Roll/Cartwheel, but the more you know about what to expect,
the |
| better. Most of these attacks are variations on things you have seen |
| before, but they are stronger now, and less predictable. |
| |
| 1. Vanitas hides within a black orb, and sends out seven images to swing
|
| at you, one at a time. If any of these images hit you, you will be |
| temporarily blinded. Afterwards, Vanitas will speed towards you for a |
| melee attack. To stay safe, slide/dodge roll/cartwheel out of the way |

| as each image approaches, and then once more at the end. You can also
|
| use a Shotlock for invincibility or just spam Square. |
| |
| Once Vanitas is inside his orb, he is invincible, so you cannot easily |
| interrupt him or fight back during this attack. However, there is a |
| short window during which you can hit him right before it begins, and |
| doing so will cancel the attack. Since Vanitas will start every fight |
| with this, and since it is a nuisance to dodge, you might want to |
| experiment with being aggressive at the start of the fight. |
| |
| 2. Vanitas runs towards you, swings once, and then shoots out a sonic |
| blast. This is the same traditional combo he has always used, although |
| the sonic blast will now confuse you if it hits you. (This means your |
| movement controls will be temporarily reversed.) |
| |
| The first swing here can be blocked, but later ones cannot. |
| Unfortunately, I do not think it is easy to tell this attack apart |
| from attack #3, so I recommend just dodging with Square when he gets
|
| close. |
| |
| 3. Vanitas yells, charges up his Keyblade with fire, and then does the |
| same multi-hit combo that he did in the final battle against Ven. This |
| attack cannot be blocked, so you will want to dodge it with Slide/ |
| Dodge Roll/Cartwheel. If Vanitas continues this attack to the end, you |
| can dodge under the final fiery X projectile, and hit him when he |
| lands. He often stops midway through and switches attacks however. (I
|
| suspect this might depend on where you are standing.) |
| |
| 4. Vanitas teleports and then shoots a slow fireball that splits into |
| five and then quickly homes in on you. This can be stopped with |
| Barrier but Terra and Ven's Block ability is less reliable. Dodging |
| with Slide/Dodge Roll/Cartwheel is good. |
| |
| 5. Vanitas teleports, jumps into the air and pelts the ground where you |
| are with dark lightning. Dodge with Square. |
| |
| 6. Vanitas glows blue, and charges towards you in the air up to three |
| times in a row. This cannot be blocked, so dodge with Square. |
| |
| 7. Vanitas teleports near you, dashes around you as a black streak, and |
| two rows of images converge on you from either side while the screen
|
| goes dark. If you get hit, you will be temporarily blinded. As always, |
| avoid this with the Square dodge moves. |
| |
| 8. Vanitas teleports next to you in the air and swings at you. He can do |
| this once as a counter-attack, or repeatedly as a regular attack. If |
| you know this attack is coming (for example after Vanitas has already |
| swung once, and it was not a counter to one of your attacks), you can |
| block him, and then hit him back. Otherwise, you should be using |
| Slide/Dodge Roll/Cartwheel by reflex whenever you lose track of |
| Vanitas, and that will keep you safe. |
| |
| 9. Vanitas charges up a Shotlock and shoots a slow-moving and short rang
e|
| laser at you, like he did at the end of Ven's story. This is one of |
| the few times where Vanitas will not randomly counter-attack you, so |
| this is a good time to go on the offensive. (More on that later.) |
| |
| 10. Vanitas submerges underground, moves towards you very quickly, and
|
| then emerges in a shower of flames. With Terra, you want to slide |
| directly over Vanitas so that he emerges while you are invincible. |
| Aqua and Ven have shorter distance on their dodges however, and this
|
| is less reliable. You still want to roll/cartwheel once Vanitas gets |
| close, but the timing is very delicate. If you succeed, Vanitas will |
| not attack for a second, giving you time to heal yourself or to drop |
| some mines. (More on that later.) |
| |
| 11. After you hit him, Vanitas might leave an image behind and |
| immediately dive bomb you with an ice attack. This is the same |
| counter-attack that always made him so annoying before, although it's |
| stronger now. He will also sometimes appear next to you and do a dash
|
| attack instead. Both attacks can be easily dodged with Square, but |
| they make it very difficult to combo Vanitas. As in the past, do not |
| expect to ever complete a combo. |
| |
| 12. If you cast any Cure spell (including Friend Cure/Cura/Curaga, but |
| NOT including Potions and other items), Vanitas will heal himself in |
| response. This can be circumvented by hiding behind a rock so that |
| Vanitas cannot see you heal. It's easier just to use Potions though. |
| |
| 13. If you shoot a projectile at Vanitas (e.g. a Blizzard spell), he will |
| usually side-step it, and counter with one of his various teleporting |
| attacks. |
| |
| FIGHTING BACK: |
| |
| If you read through all of the above, the main thing you will notice is |
| that Vanitas leaves very few openings to attack. He also is quite resistant |
| to Shotlocks, so you will need to find some creative ways of fighting back.
|
| The specifics of what to do now varies by character: |
| |
| TERRA'S STRATEGY: |
| Terra is all about physical damage, and your main goal should be to set |
| up his finish commands. (You do NOT want to switch command styles.) E

quip |
| Chaos Ripper and Demolition. After dodging an attack, cast Mine Shield o
r|
| Mine Square and lure Vanitas onto the trap. This should do minimal |
| damage, but it will stun him and it will fill up your Command Gauge. If |
| Vanitas does not teleport away immediately, you should be able to get off
|
| one or two melee swings. Otherwise, slide away. Repeat until you have
|
| filled up the Command Gauge, and then unleash your finish command.
|
| |
| When Vanitas does his Shotlock, try to get behind him and use Ars Solum.
|
| That can do a ton of damage if you get it right. |
| |
| VEN'S STRATEGY: |
| Ven's damage comes entirely from one ability: Tornado. If you can hit |
| Vanitas with it, you will be amazed at how powerful it is. With a spell |
| this slow, the main catch however is hitting him. Here are some good |
| tricks: |
| |
| - Lay a trap with Mine Square or Mine Shield, lure Vanitas into it, and |
| cast Tornado while he is in the air. You might get counter-attacked |
| this way, but if Vanitas doesn't teleport away, he is easy pickings. |
| - If Vanitas does attack #3, and shoots the flaming X projectile, you |
| can roll up to him as he lands, and cast Tornado right next to him. |
| - If Vanitas does a Shotlock, he will be holding still, and will be |
| vulnerable. |
| |
| AQUA'S STRATEGY: |
| Aqua relies on Seeker Mine not just to stun Vanitas, but actually do the |
| damage. Mainly, your goal will be to leave Seeker Mine traps, and just |
| keep luring Vanitas into them to slowly whittle away his health. Once you
|
| switch into Spellweaver form though, be careful to NOT hit Vanitas with
|
| your Keyblade until you revert. (In particular, do NOT use Counter |
| Blast.) Keyblade attacks will give you Ghost Drive, which is very bad |
| because of its crappy dodge move. |

| |
| I have noticed two times where Vanitas is especially vulnerable: |
| - During his Shotlock attack. You can double-jump over him, way above
|
| the attack, and summon Seeker Mines at your feet. Vanitas will get |
| hit by all of them. |
| - When Vanitas submerges underground, summon Seeker Mines, wait for
|
| Vanitas to reach you, and then cartwheel away at the last second. |
| Again, he will be hit by all of them. |
| You can attack at other times too of course, but these are the two places |
| where you can pile on the damage the fastest. |
| |
| EXPLOIT STRATEGY: |
| If you are a cheapo, there's a really easy and reliable way to exploit |
| the enemy AI. Run so that one of the big boulders is between you and |
| Vanitas. As long as you stay there, Vanitas won't be able to reach you, |
| even with counter-attacks! So you can just sit there and shoot Strike |
| Raids through the boulder into Vanitas dies. This ruins a perfectly good |
| fight, so only resort to it if you're desperate! |

| |
| If things are going badly, don't forget that you can use Potions to heal, |
| and don't forget to constantly slide/dodge roll/cartwheel. This fight is |
| nasty and it will probably take you quite a few tries, but the methods |
| described above really do work very well once you get the hang of them.
|
| |
| Good luck! If you are getting frustrated, you can find videos on YouTube
|
| that show these strategies in action. |

+--BOSS FIGHT: MYSTERIOUS FIGURE----------------------------------------

------+
| HP: 999, Strength: ???, Defense: ??? |
| Reward: NO NAME KEYBLADE |
| |
| I have not gotten to this guy yet, but GFK283 has kindly written a strategy
|
| in the meantime. You can see it in action here: |
| |
| http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=336ElKAWpHI |
| |
| Now onto the meat of GFK283's strategy: |
| This guy is really, really, tough. Get ready to spend a lot of time looking |
| at the Game Over screen. |
| |
| He has quite a few attacks: |
| |
| 1. A short melee combo (This is blockable) |
| 2. An extended melee combo (Blockable as well) |
| 3. He turns blue and does a short charge towards you (Blockable) |
| 4. He turns blue and charges across the room 3 to 4 times (Blockable) |
| 5. A Tornado attack that flings all your commands on the ground |
| 6. An X-Blade attack (This is the most easily avoidable and slowest |
| attack) |
| 7. A 'Pendulum' attack. This is where he jumps up in the air and throws |
| his weapon at you, then pulls you in and follows up with one of the |
| attacks listed above. There is a chance that he will use the X-Blade |
| and you'll be able to survive, but most of the time if you get hit by |
| this attack you will die. |
| 8. He summons a bunch of orbs and they shoot missiles at you 5 times.
|
| This is the hardest attack to dodge, and when this happens you should |
| be mashing Square as fast as you can. If you attack him while this is |
| happening, he will go back to his regular routine while the orbs are |
| shooting at you, so DON'T. Sometimes a few of the orbs will hang |
| around; when you stop moving they will shoot at you. The best way to
|
| handle this is to get far away from MF and get a Curaga spell ready. |
| 9. He summons 4 clones of himself and they all chase you. They all share
|
| the same attacks and if you let them hit you it can be deadly. The |
| best way to deal with them is to use Fire Surge or Thunder Surge. |
| 10. He cloaks himself in a field of fire, teleports behind you and charges |
| at you. This happens 6 times. |
| 11. He casts stop on you and rewinds time to heal himself. |
| 12. He can block your attacks with Restore Barrier and heal himself. This
|
| means if you use shotlocks, keep the number under 5 or he will likely |
| block the rest of your attack. |
| 13. He summons a meteor that crashes into the ground. |
| 14. He casts a spell similar to Mega Flare. |
| 15. He uses a spell called Doom (the white lines) and you have to mash X
|
| to get out of it. |
| 16. When he gets to about half health, he will start turning invisible. He |
| will continue using all of the attacks above during this time, and he |
| is able to use multiple attacks at once, for example he can cast |
| Tornado while cloaked in fire. |
| |
| Him having all those attacks sounds quite intimidating, and it is, but the |
| good thing is most of these attacks can be avoided by simply mashing |
| Square. If you're using dodge roll/dash/cartwheel 100% of the time spent

|
| not attacking, you will not get hit. This means start practicing your |
| button mashing... if you're good at Mario Party this will be easy for you. |
| Your thumb is going to get a workout during this fight. |
| |
| I've seen this fight done by someone using nothing but Fire Surge to do |
| damage, and this works well, but when I first started fighting this guy I |
| came up with the Mine Square strategy. Mines do not hurt the Mysterious
|
| Figure, but they DO fill your Commands Gauge. If you can get him to run
|
| into enough mines, you can unleash a finish command on him. I wouldn't
|
| recommend trying this strategy unless you have your character's 'Ultimate'
|
| finisher. If your command meter starts going down you can use Zero Gravig
a, |
| with its long reach, to give it a boost during one of MF's safer attacks. |
| Mines will also make MF and his clones jump over them, and you can use th
is |
| to your advantage. It will give you a bit of control over the fight if you |
| can make them jump over the mines. You can also wait for the right moment
|
| and use a quick 5-or-below hit Shotlock. If you're able to fully charge |
| your shotlock, there's a high chance MF will just block half of your attack |
| and heal himself to full. That's not good. |

| |
| If MF summons his clones and you have mines down, try to make them run
into |
| the mines and use your finisher. If he summons clones and you don't have
|
| mines down, you need to use Fire Surge immediately or you'll probably get
|
| hit. |
| |
| Once you get MF to about half health, he'll start turning invisible. This |
| is where all your thumb exercises pay off. (You did do those right?). Since
|
| he is invisible, you can't target him so the only thing you can do is dodge |
| constantly until he turns visible again. If you can mash Square while |
| trying to lock on at the same time, do it, but that can be tough. |
| |
| After he starts doing the invisible thing, mines and Zero Graviga really |
| aren't that useful. You'll have to rely on Fire Surge to do most of the |
| damage from this point on. |

[MIR:IN] Mirage Arena: Introduction
======================================================
=========================
The Mirage Arena is a large and challenging venue for coliseum-style battle
s
and other mini-games. It is also the only place in Birth by Sleep that support
s
multi-player.
You can participate independently with each of the three characters, starting
as soon as you have completed the first real world. Finishing the arena with
one character could easily take 10+ hours, so if you are going for 100%
completion, you might want to get started early! Beware though: the later ar
ena
matches are the hardest parts of the game other than the secret bosses unloc
ked
after completing the Final Episode.
There are two main goals in the Mirage Arena. The first is to collect medals.
You will get these for competing in any event, and they can be used to purc
hase
rewards:

If you are interested in completing your Reports, see my recommendations f

or
what to buy in the table above. Everything else can either be gotten a faster
way or is not counted in the Reports. Bio Barrage is a grey area - it costs a
ton of medals and it can be gotten by command melding, but only with a 20
%
success rate.
The other main goal of the Mirage Arena is to increase your arena level. As
shown in the above table, this is required to purchase certain items. It is
also needed to unlock certain arena matches. Here are the 29 requirements y
ou
need to meet in order to level all the way up:
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| - Gain 300 / 1000 / 3333 / 5555 / 7777 / 9999 Medals (6 level ups) |
| - Complete each of the first 12 Arena Matches (12 level ups) |
| - Complete 5 laps of Country Chase in 2:30 (1 level up) |
| - Complete 5 laps of Disney Drive in 5:00 (1 level up) |
| - Complete 5 laps of Grand Spree in 5:00 (1 level up) |
| - Complete 5 laps of Castle Circuit in 5:30 (1 level up) |
| - Win each of the 7 Command Boards (7 level ups) |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
Note that the Rumble Racing and Command Board requirements can only be
achieved
in the Mirage Arena, but you have to play Rumble Racing in Disney Town a
s well
to unlock it here.
If you are shooting for Level 30, the toughest requirement to get is 9999
Arena Medals. You will have to redo events a fair amount in order to get tha
t
high. Fortunately, if you spend medals, they will still count towards your
total, so there is no need to save up.
TIP: You get 15% more medals in the Arena Matches if you have multiple p
layers,
OR if you trick the game into thinking you do by using Group Cure
abilities! So when you are doing arena matches, ALWAYS bring along
Group
Cure or an upgraded equivalent!
TIP #2: If you are grinding for arena medals, make a couple elite commands
like
Mega Flare and do the hardest match that is trivialized by these
commands. AND DO NOT FORGET TO BRING GROUP CURE/CU
RA/CURAGA! If you
want a break, the Secret Command Board is also pretty efficient.
======================================================
=========================
[MIR:AM] Mirage Arena: Arena Matches
======================================================
=========================
The main events for the Mirage Arena are arena matches. Here you will be p
itted
against a large number of Unversed over several rounds, usually culminating
in
a boss fight of some sort. In this section, I will go over how to unlock each
arena match, what you will have to fight there, what the rewards are, and h
ow
to deal with the bosses. These matches can be pretty challenging, you can't
pause in the middle of them, and if you die, you have to start from the
beginning... So get ready!

| |
+--Round 4 (Boss): IRON IMPRISONER I---------------------------------------
---+
| |
| The Iron Imprisoner will fly around in his cauldron, continually picking a |
| random attack from the list below. Unless you are over-leveled, I strongly
|
| recommend standing back until he starts an attack, and then countering. If
|
| you try to be too aggressive, you will have problems with attack #3 below.
|
| And you will be fighting much harder versions of this same guy later, so |
| it's worth building up the right habits now. Anyway, here's the list of |
| attacks: |
| |
| 1. The Iron Imprisoner shoots lasers from the base of his cauldron to the |
| ground all around him, and slowly moves around. Should you get too
|
| close, all the lasers will focus on you. If you have High Jump and Air |
| Slide, this is a great time to attack him. Jump over his lasers, combo |
| him, and then air slide to back out again without getting hit. If you |
| are fast, you can do two or three full combos this way without risking |
| any damage. |
| |
| If you do not have High Jump and Air Slide, you may not be able to |
| avoid the lasers on the way out. You can either try anyway and take |
| the damage or you can rely on ranged attacks (e.g. Shotlocks). |
| |
| 2. The Iron Imprisoner moves towards you and then swings his whole body
|
| at you as a melee attack. This is normally repeated several times. You |
| can block this and counter (press X after blocking, assuming you have |
| the relevant ability). Even if you do not have the counter ability for |
| your character yet, you should still have time for a full combo. Just |
| back off after you do your combo, because Block won't work on the next
|
| swing if you are too close. And as I said before, it's good to keep |
| your distance anyway. |
| |
| 3. The Iron Imprisoner lights himself on fire and quickly spins towards |
| you along the ground. After a while, he will try jumping into the air |
| three times and pounding the ground near you. Use Dodge Roll, Slide,
|
| or Cartwheel to dodge to the side whenever he comes at you. If you get |
| hit once, it can be difficult to recover even if you mash Square for a |
| counter-attack. If you are having trouble here, it means you are |
| probably being too aggressive. Back off between attacks, so you have |
| lots of time to react whenever the Iron Imprisoner starts spinning. |

| |
| Also, make sure you are using REGULAR Slide/Dodge Roll/Cartwheel,
not |
| Sonic Impact/Thunder Roll/Firewheel. The offensive versions of these
|
| abilities are bad because they grant much less invincibility time. |
| |
| 4. The Iron Imprisoner makes a cage appear and sends it towards you unde
r|
| the ground. If it gets near you, it will pop up and try to trap you |
| inside. You will then have to hit the cage a bunch to get out. In the |
| meantime, the Iron Imprisoner will be attacking you as normal. |
| |
| There are a few ways you can avoid the cage. Once you have high enoug
h|
| level High Jump, you can just jump in the air as it comes towards you, |
| and it won't get high enough. Another good option is to use Slide, |
| Dodge Roll, or Cartwheel right as the cage reaches you. (Again, do NOT
|
| use the offensive versions of these abilities.) If you are fast, there |
| is also time to hit the Iron Imprisoner before the cage is ready. |
| |
| 5. The Iron Imprisoner disappears completely underground. After a couple
|
| seconds, the screen will shake and he will emerge directly under you |
| for damage. Use Slide, Dodge Roll, Cartwheel, or Air Slide when the |
| screen shakes so that you will be invincible when he comes up. The |
| Iron Imprisoner will immediately do another attack after this so keep |
| moving away from him, and get ready. |
| |
| You want to hit the Iron Imprisoner while he is doing attack #1, attack #2 |
| and maybe at the start of attack #4. Just dodge everything else. Try to |
| stay back between attacks, so that you have time to react. |
| |
| By the way, if you ever manage to get the Iron Imprisoner in a combo while
|
| in the Blade Charge style, keep attacking! He will not be able to hit you |
| back. |

+--Round 5 (Boss): IRON IMPRISONER II--------------------------------------
---+
| |
| This guy is pretty similar to Iron Imprisoner I, but his arms are now |
| untied, and some of his attacks have been upgraded as a result. |
| |
| 1. The lasers from the base are similar to before, but it's harder now to |
| hit the Iron Imprisoner over top of them. If you are going to try, |
| make sure you have a Cure ready in case it goes badly. |
| |
| 2. For his melee attacks, the Iron Imprisoner does a full three-hit combo |
| with his hammer and he moves quickly towards you to initiate. Block
|
| the first swing and then immediately counter. Once again, the Iron |
| Imprisoner will be stunned, leaving time for a full combo afterwards. |
| |
| 3. The fire spin is now faster than before, and it is difficult to dodge, |
| even if you stay back and are ready for it. Slide, Dodge Roll, and |
| Cartwheel are still the best defense. (As before, do NOT use Sonic |
| Impact, Thunder Roll, and Firewheel). Here are a couple other options |
| you might want to try: |

| - Vanish. If you have this, cast it when the Iron Imprisoner goes |
| underground. He will often do a fire spin as soon as he come up, |
| and you will already be invisible. This will make him a lot less |
| accurate, and dodging should be easier. |
| - Shotlocks. If you can do a bunch of damage to the Iron Imprisoner |
| before he reaches you, it will cancel the fire spin. You will have |
| to be fast and you will need a pretty high-level Shotlock, but it |
| is a good trick when you can do it. |
| If you do get hit, it's okay. Just be ready to heal. I recommend |
| practicing dodging this attack with Slide/Dodge Roll/Cartwheel. If you |
| can get the pattern down, it will help for Iron Imprisoner III and IV. |
| |
| 4,5. The cage and underground attacks are the same as before. |

+--Round 5 (Boss): MIMIC MASTER---------------------------------------------
--+
| Status effect vulnerabilities: Stun, Ignite, Poison |
| |
| This is an interesting fight, and it can become very dangerous even if you |
| are strong enough to sleep-walk through the rest of the arena match. The |
| Mimic Master will use the following attacks: |

| |
| 1. Summon a wall of books around him, then shoot out white and black
|
| beams in a rotating circle. The Mimic Master will constantly move |
| towards you during this time, which means you can't just run out of |
| range and wait. The white beams only do damage, but the black beams
|
| blind you (most of your screen will be temporarily obscured, and you |
| will not be able to target anything with L+R). |

| |
| This is a pretty low-damage attack, so one option is to try to hit the |
| Mimic Master when there are breaks in the beams, accepting the |
| occasional misstep. Stop if you get blinded though - that will make it |
| very hard to actually land any more hits. Otherwise, run away and/or |
| use ranged attacks. |
| |
| 2. Light himself on fire and fly around semi-randomly. If you're Aqua, |
| you can block this when the Mimic Master comes near you, and then
|
| respond with Counter Blast. Terra and Ven have it worse though - the |
| Mimic Master's pattern is very hard to predict, and he is likely to |

| get around the Block and hit you from behind. So for Terra and Ven, I |
| recommend just evading with Slide or Dodge Roll. |

| |
| 3. If he is close to you, the Mimic Master will also sometimes slam his |
| book against the ground, creating ever-larger shockwaves. If you get |
| hit, be sure to press Square for the free counter-attack. |
| |
| 4. The Mimic Master's signature attack is to open his book and try to |
| suck you towards it. If he succeeds, he will disappear and be replaced |
| by one or more clones of you. Kill the clone(s) to continue the fight. |
| Unless you are absolutely ready for this attack in advance, you are |
| probably not going to be able to avoid getting sucked in. In that |
| case, you should stop trying to get away, and just attack instead. |
| There's time for a good two or three combos before the Mimic Master
|
| disappears. |
| |
| By far the biggest threat in this fight is attack #4. When the Mimic Master |
| has reasonably high health, he will summon a single clone. You should be
|
| able to defeat it pretty easily by waiting for an attack, blocking and then |
| countering... or just by mashing the attack button. |
| |
| Later in the fight though, the Mimic Master will summon two clones and a
|
| bunch of cards. The two clones will be constantly attacking and whenever
|
| you kill one, one of the cards will turn into a new clone to take its |
| place. This means you are going to be under heavy attack for quite a while,
|
| and it is very easy to slip up and die. If possible, you want to take out a |
| bunch of the cards with strong area-of-effect attacks before they can |
| become full-fledged clones, but this can be difficult. There are a few |
| things you can try here: |
| - If you have Vanish, that will make things much easier. |
| - If you are playing Aqua, the clones will rely mostly on ranged attacks |
| which you can block easily. Go next to some cards, use Barrier on any |
| projectiles, and then use Counter Blast to take out the card. Repeat as |
| necessary. |
| - With Terra and Ven, I like going to a corner, blocking + countering the |
| first melee attack that comes my way, then running off again. If I ever |
| get some distance between me and the clones, THEN I try a quick |
| area-of-effect attack to take down some cards. Otherwise, I move to the |
| next corner. Slow but steady. Mine spells are also helpful here. |
| - If you have a high-level Shotlock, you can also try using that. You |
| might have trouble charging it up, but if you succeed, it will help a |
| bunch. |
| - If you are high enough level, you can also just button mash your way |
| through the clones of course. |

| You might want to experiment a bit to see which method works best for you
. |
| |
| So what's the strategy? For most of the fight, you don't need to worry too |
| much. Attack the Mimic Master after he finishes any attack, and if you can
|
| get off a style change - especially to a second-level style, things should |
| become a lot easier. |
| |
| Once the Mimic Master gets down to a few bars of health though, you shoul
d |
| start being careful. Use Shotlocks, use ranged attacks, use style changes, |
| and try to hit the Mimic Master while he is doing the rotating beam attack.
|
| Just do not be near him when he starts something new, in case it's the |
| mimic attack. I don't think he does the same attack twice in a row though, |
| so if you do avoid the mimic attack, you can hit him then. And if you get |
| hit by the mimic attack despite your best efforts, then good luck! |

+--Round 6 (Boss): IRON IMPRISONER III-------------------------------------
---+
| |
| The cauldron is off, and the Iron Imprisoner is ready to rumble! Actually, |
| I find his attack pattern a little easier to deal with this time around. |
| Here is what he can do: |
| |
| 1. The Iron Imprisoner's melee attack is now four swings long. You should
|
| still block it, and counter when you can. This will stun the Iron |
| Imprisoner, leaving time for a full combo afterwards. |
| |
| 2. The fire spin is faster than before, but it is actually less of a |
| problem. First of all, the Iron Imprisoner won't chase you as closely; |
| he will just repeatedly dash across the arena. So even if you get hit |
| once, you can still slide/dodge roll/cartwheel to the side (as always, |
| do NOT use the magic versions of these abilities like Thunder Roll or |
| Firewheel) to avoid getting hit later. Also, there is no jump attack |
| at the end of the spin. As before, the best way to avoid the initial |
| hit by this is to stand back from the Iron Imprisoner between attacks, |
| especially when he emerges from underground. |
| |
| 3,4. The cage and underground attacks are the same as before. |
| |
| 5. Once you have done a bunch of damage, the Iron Imprisoner will |
| sometimes glow black, summon explosions around himself, and then go

|
| berserk on you with an exploding melee combo. Start to block as soon
|
| as he begins moving towards you (he will move fast) and then counter
|
| with X just like you would for the regular melee combo. If you get hit |
| here, it can be pretty painful. As always, try to mash Square for a |
| payback attack if you do get hit. |
| |
| The laser attack is gone altogether. The overall strategy here is pretty |
| similar to what it was before, but overall, things should be easier. The |
| Iron Imprisoner is defined by his fire spin and when that attack is |
| weakened, the whole fight becomes easier. |
| |
| Without the laser attack, it's a little trickier to set up a Shotlock |
| however. The best times are right after a fire spin or right after the Iron |
| Imprisoner summons the cage. (You don't have to use Shotlocks of course,
|
| but they are the easiest way to deal a lot of damage.) |
| |
| The Blade Charge trick also still works, so if you manage to switch to that |
| style, start a combo and then keep hitting. The Iron Imprisoner will not |
| recover until you get to the finish command. |

| |
| See full description for Zack in Section WLK:T8 and for Hades in Section
|
| WLK:A7. Unlike the last time you fought him, Hades will be aggressive fr
om |
| the start this time around. Even so, Zack should absolutely be your first |
| target here. |
| |
| Begin the fight by unleashing a Shotlock on Zack as he charges up Hero's
|
| Pride. If you are using a strong Shotlock (e.g. Bio Barrage), you might |
| almost kill him outright. Hopefully, you will then be able to use one or |
| two more Shotlocks to finish Zack off. This can be a little tricky with |
| Hades there though. If Zack ever charges up Hero's Pride when you don't
|
| have a Shotlock ready, you should immediately start spamming Slide / Dod
ge |
| Roll / Cartwheel to stay invincible as much as possible. (Elemental |
| versions like Sonic Impact and Thunder Roll will NOT work.) |
| |
| The trick here is to get Zack down before you die. After that, you can just |
| stun-lock Hades (see WLK:A7) and the rest should be easy. |

| |
| To prepare for this fight, make SURE your Shotlock is at max level, and the
|
| more powerful it is, the better. Damage Syphon is also handy: it will |
| recharge your Focus Gauge every time you get hit. |

+--Round 9 (Boss): IRON IMPRISONER IV--------------------------------------
---+
| |
| First thing's first. This is one of the hardest bosses in the game, and it |
| takes quite a while to reach him. That means you should prepare well! I |
| recommend being level 40 or above, and equipping the following abilities:

|
| |
| - 1 or more Curaga spells (duh). |
| - Slide/Dodge Roll/Cartwheel. As always, do *NOT* replace these with th
e |
| offensive versions like Sonic Impact during the arena match. |
| - Once More and Second Chance. |
| - Damage Syphon. |
| - Renewal Block / Renewal Barrier. |
| - Fire Screen. |
| - A strong Shotlock. I recommend Bio Barrage, or if you already have it,
|
| the reward from Arena Match 12. |
| |
| There are very few times you can hit the Iron Imprisoner safely, so for the |
| most part, you should be relying on Shotlocks for damage. Staying alive
|
| enough to use them is already pretty challenging. |
| |
| Here are the attacks you will see: |
| |
| 1,2,3: The cage, underground, and fire spin attacks are pretty much the |
| same as before. As with Iron Imprisoner III, the best times to do |
| Shotlocks are right after a fire spin or right after the cage has |
| been summoned. |
| |
| 4. The Iron Imprisoner glows black, summons explosions around himself,
|
| and then goes berserk on you with an exploding melee combo. This is
|
| like the Iron Imprisoner III attack, except this time it will happen |
| at any health (in fact it's usually the first attack you'll see) and |
| more importantly, a counter-attack will NOT stun the Iron Prisoner 4. |
| Block the first hit as normal, counter once, and then hold still to |
| avoid subsequent hits. Many deck commands are fine, but do NOT do a
|
| regular combo. As always, mash Square if you get hit. |
| |
| As soon as the Iron Imprisoner finishes this attack, immediately start |
| sliding / dodge rolling / cartwheeling away. He might do a fire spin, |
| and you will be in a vulnerable position. |
| |
| 5. The Iron Imprisoner teleports somewhere and draws you in towards him.
|
| He then teleports somewhere else and repeats, leaving behind a big |
| explosion. You can avoid both the initial draw attack and the final |
| explosion attack with Slide/Dodge Roll/Cartwheel, so mash on Square
|
| when this happens. This attack isn't particularly dangerous, but there |
| isn't much time to counter either. |
| |
| 6. The entire screen goes red, and flaming pieces of wall start flying |
| around. Just keep pressing Slide/Dodge Roll/Cartwheel to avoid as much
|
| damage as possible. Fortunately, the Iron Imprisoner disappears during |
| all of this, so the attack is more of an annoyance than a threat. This |

| is one of the safest times to heal during the fight. |
| |
| As you can see, there are almost no real openings in the Iron Imprisoner's |
| defense. You can chip away a little while he summons his cage, when he
|
| comes up to combo you, or at any point with a Mine spell. However, these
|
| methods are slow and dangerous. You REALLY want to use Shotlocks.
|
| |
| Any time the Iron Imprisoner summons the cage and any time he finishes a
|
| fire spin, charge up a Shotlock and let it rip. With Damage Syphon |
| equipped, your Focus gauge should almost always be full. It's just a matter
|
| of surviving from one Shotlock to the next. As always, the main threat is |
| the fire spin, so as much as possible, keep your distance from the Iron |
| Imprisoner, and mash Square for Slide/Dodge Roll/Cartwheel. |
| |
| Good luck! If you are having trouble, remember there is no shame in gainin
g|
| some levels. Fighting through 20 minutes of arena only to get one-shotted
|
| here is not much fun. |

=========================
[MIN:CB] Mini-games: Command Board
======================================================
=========================
HOW TO PLAY: Select Command Board from the Pause menu while you are
at a save
point, or while you are in outer space between worlds.
The Command Board is the most fully developed mini-game in Birth By Sl
eep. You
can play it any time for free, earning a few new commands and also leveling
up
the commands you already have. Here is the list of otherwise-difficult prizes
you can get it from it:
- PETE D-LINK (You have a random chance of winning this after any gam
e in
which Captain Dark or Captain Justice appeared at a special square,
either for you or for an opponent)
- RAGNAROK (Keyblade Board and Secret Board)
- FOCUS BLOCK (Terra/Ven only, Royal Board)
- FOCUS BARRIER (Aqua only, Royal Board)
- METEOR SHOWER (Royal Board)
- LIGHTNING RAY (Keyblade Board and Secret Board)
- PHOTON CHARGE (Skull Board)
Most of these can be gotten only if you play from the Pause menu, as oppose
d to
playing from within the Mirage Arena.
The basic idea of the game is pretty similar to Monopoly. On your turn, you
roll a die and move around a board. When you land on an empty panel, you
can
buy it with GP (the equivalent of Monopoly money) and a card (more on tha
t
later). Then, anyone who lands on your panel later in the game will have to
pay you a GP tax. You also get a big GP bonus for touching each of four
checkpoint panels and then returning to the start. To win, you must return to
the start with total GP above some threshold chosen at the beginning of the
game. This total includes GP you spend buying panels, so there's no reason
to
hold back on buying.
Now, as I mentioned above, this game also has cards. You start off with five
cards, and you will get more each time you pass either a checkpoint or the
start panel after going through all four checkpoints. Remember you have to
spend one card (of your choosing) to buy any panel you land on. They have
another use as well though. On your turn, you can also just play cards for a
set bonus. Here is the list of options:
STUN (1 Attack Card): A player of your choosing loses their next turn.
NAVIGATOR (2 Attack Cards): Allows you to go any direction you want t
his
turn. While you can always turn when you reach an intersection, you cann
ot
normally go back the way you came. This ability changes that.
DOUBLE TOLL (3 Attack Cards): For the next five turns, anyone who lan
ds on
one of your squares must pay you double.
TWO DICE (1 Magic Card): This turn, you will roll two dice instead of on
e
when deciding how far to move.
THREE DICE (2 Magic Cards): This turn, you will roll three dice instead o
f
one when deciding how far to move.
GP PROTECTOR (1 Crown Card): The next time you would be penalized
GP (e.g.
for landing on an opponent's square), you will be immune.
CONFUSE (2 Crown Cards): For the next three turns, opponents will not g
et to
choose their direction when they hit intersections. Instead, it will be
chosen randomly.
GP MAGNET (1 Attack Card, 1 Magic Card, 1 Crown Card): You gain 15
0 GP for
each square owned by an opponent.
JOKER'S FORTUNE (1 Joker Card): Randomly get one of the above bonus
es. There
is also a chance you will get a free panel.
GOLDEN FORTUNE (3 Joker Cards): Randomly get one of the above bon
uses. There
is also a chance you will get all the panels in a zone for free.
Joker cards are special cards that can only be gotten from passing checkpoin
ts
or the start panel (i.e. you will never start with them). They cannot be used
for buying panels, but they do give the best bonuses in this list above.
So how do rewards work? Well, if you look at your cards, you will see that
each
one corresponds to one of your deck commands. When you use a card to buy
a
panel, you will gain experience for that command. There are also certain em
pty
panels that have a yellow mark on them. For these panels, there is a comma
nd
pre-supplied. So if you buy the panel, you will not need to provide your own
card. Instead, you will be given its command for free when the game ends. T
his
is how you get most of the unique Command Board rewards.
Okay, got all that? If so, you are more than ready to play the Command Boa
rd!
Here are some additional tips for whenever you want to do more reading:
- There are a total of seven Command Boards, each with a different layout
and
with different rewards. You can unlock the first six by progressing
through the game, and you can unlock the seventh by winning on each of
the
other boards (either in the Miraga Arena or from the pause menu).
- When you start a Command Board, you can choose the GP goal from seve
ral
options. I recommend going low. There are lots of Command Boards to pl
ay.
No need to spend tons of time on just one unless you really want to.
- Wondering what commands can be won off the Command Board? See th
e maps
below. I mark each special panel with a number and then list below which
commands can go with that number. There is a separate (usually much

smaller) list of special panels if you play the Command Board from the
Mirage Arena instead of from the regular menu. Aside from that, playing
in
the Mirage Arena is better though since it gets you arena medals and
increases your arena level.
- If you just want to win, the key is to go around to the checkpoints (marke
d
X in the maps below) and back to the start panel (marked B in the maps
below) as quickly as possible. The TWO/THREE DICE and STUN moves
can both
help a lot for this. In particular, if you start near a checkpoint, use TWO
DICE on your first turn. You will pass the checkpoint and get your card
back right away. When you return to the start panel after touching each
checkpoint, your cards will be filled up to five.
- Some black panels (marked ~ in the maps below) cannot be bought and ju
st
take away GP when you land on them. Usually there is a Prize Cube near
them. If you walk on one of these, it will follow under you when you wal
k
on ~ squares, keeping you safe. The Prize Cubes also have numbers on th
em.
Every time one moves, its number goes down. If you bring it down to 0,
you
get a pretty big bonus.
- Each board also has special panels (marked S in the maps below), landin
g on
which will give you a bonus unique to the board. After completing Disne
y
Town, the special panels will sometimes be either CAPTAIN JUSTICE o
r
CAPTAIN DARK instead of the normal bonus. Captain Justice will give
you a
GP bonus each turn for several turns, and Captain Dark will give you a G
P
penalty each turn for several turns. Either of these guys will also
sometimes choose to buy the panel right behind you on your behalf. Capt
ain
Justice does this at a discount, but Captain Dark does it at a huge
penalty!
If you walk past someone with Captain Justice or Captain Dark, you will
steal the bonus (for better or for worse). This is really important - both
Captain Justice and Captain Dark are extremely powerful and can easily
decide an entire game. Be very careful where you walk when one is out!
- If you purchase two or more panels adjacent to each other, each with a ca
rd
of the same type (e.g. magic cards), then they will form a chain and their
value will increase by 10%. Not too important, but if you get the chance,
it's a nice bonus to take.
That's pretty much all I can think of. Have fun!

=========================
[MIN:RR] Mini-games: Rumble Racing
======================================================
=========================
HOW TO PLAY: Talk to Chip or Dale at the Raceway Registration in Disn

ey Town.
Rumble Racing is like a simplified version of Mario Kart. Press X to

accelerate, O to attack nearby racers (Terra and Ven do a spin attack, and A
qua
shoots arrows), Triangle to pop up a shield to temporarily protect you from
other racers, and Square to brake. If you push Square and X at the same time
,
you can make a sharp turn.
Your main goal here is to follow the course, going through as many booster
rings as possible, and avoiding as many tornados as possible. There are one
or
two shortcuts in each course that can be reached only with booster rings -
these are very handy and I will mention exactly where they are below.
First though, here are some general tips to keep in mind:
- The game cheats to help the racers who are behind. If you are ahead, expe
ct
your opponents to catch up sooner or later, and if you are behind, don't
give up right away. The cheating is not ridiculous though - I can usually
build up a sizable lead during the last lap.
- If you are playing in the Mirage Arena, your main goal is to beat certain
times. If you are having trouble, you might want to decrease the number o
f
racers to 2. This will decrease the number of medals you earn, but it will
mean fewer people smacking you around.
- If you start pushing X right as soon as "Go" appears at the beginning of

the race, you will start with a speed boost. Not too important, but always
handy.
- If you see "Danger" or "Locked On" at the bottom of your screen, press
Triangle to defend yourself.
- If you have locked on to a target in front of you, press O to attack it. In

addition to disabling your opponent, this speeds Ven+Terra up a little wh
en
they hit. Do NOT do this if the target is itself attacking (i.e., it's
spinning in a scary sort of way). You are still vulnerable! Aqua does not
get any kind of speed boost from her attacks, but she has longer range to
compensate.
- Scattered throughout the courses are shields. If you pick these up, you
will be immune to other racers and even to tornados. These are very usefu
l,
especially at the end of each race.
There are four courses altogether, and winning one course unlocks the next.
Here are some tips specific to each course:
+-ROUND 1: COUNTRY CHASE--------------------------------------------------

----+
| |
| Reward for top-three finish: HI-POTION |
| |
| The first booster ring you will see after the start propels you up onto a |
| shortcut that skips the very slow southernmost part of the course. |
| |
+-ROUND 2: DISNEY DRIVE-----------------------------------------------------
--+
| |
| Reward for first-place finish: FIRE DASH |
| |
| This course starts off the same as the previous one, which means you can
|
| use the shortcut. After that though, you will go off in a new direction. |
| |
| The next booster ring will shoot you towards another booster ring that is |
| floating in the sky. If you aim well, you should be able to go through |
| both. Not too important, but fun. The next booster ring is the one that |
| actually matters. It is on the right side of the track and it will propel |
| you up onto a ledge. Slow down and do a sharp right turn for another |
| shortcut. If you do it correctly, you will go straight into another |
| booster as you land, and then a little ways on, you will find a shield |
| inside the tunnel. This can get you a pretty comfortable lead at the end of |
| each lap. |
| |
+-ROUND 3: GRAND SPREE------------------------------------------------------
--+
| |
| Reward for first-place finish: AERORA |
| |
| The only real shortcut here is after the final tunnel. It will propel you |
| up to a little canyon similar to the previous two courses. When you get |
| out, you will be right next to a whirlwind though, so do a sharp turn back |
| onto the course, and be ready to evade. The other booster rings are also |
| useful though, and be sure to pick up any shields you can. There are a |
| couple nasty tornados here and the other racers are always going to be |
| jockeying for position. |
| |
+-ROUND 4: CASTLE CIRCUIT--------------------------------------------------
---+
| |
| Reward for first-place finish: VICTORY LINE KEYBLADE
|
| |
| The final course is where Rumble Racing is at its best: confusing, tricky, |
| and lots of things to learn before you master the course! |
| |
| - You will go over a jump onto some grass near the beginning. Take a |
| sharp left and an archway will come up on your right. Turn into the |
| archway slightly too early so that you actually ram into the right |
| side a little. You can then slide off into the archway and you will |
| immediately hit a ramp taking you into a secret underground entrance. |
| If you miss this, you will have to loop around a bunch before making it |
| underground. |
| - You will now be directed either left or right randomly. Either way, you |
| will be on a narrow bridge, which you do NOT want to fall off. The |
| bottom route is totally separate and much slower. If you get directed |
| right, just keep going straight until you reach the wall, and then hug |
| that wall the rest of the way. If you get directed left, there is no |
| wall to hug. You can either take the jump which will send you to the |
| other bridge (safe but slow) or you can try to navigate your own bridge |
| with no walls. I recommend taking the jump, but it's up to you. |
| - From here, it is just a matter of picking up as many boosters as you |
| can for the rest of the lap. |
| |
| Good luck! |
| |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
If you win a course multiple times, you will get a HI-POTION for each vict
ory
after the first.
======================================================
=========================
[MIN:IB] Mini-games: Ice Cream Beat
======================================================
=========================
HOW TO PLAY: Talk to Dewey (the blue duck) in the Main Plaza of Disn
ey Town.
This mini-game was crazy hard in the Japanese version of the game, and al
though
it has been nerfed some, you should still expect a challenge. I really enjoyed
Ice Cream Beat though, and it's very satisfying in the end. You also get a ve
ry
nice reward: the FROZEN FORTUNE Command Style. (Unlike other comma
nd styles,
this can ONLY be triggered by ice cream purchased from the Ice Cream Sho
p. See
Section COL:IS.)
Huey, Dewey and Louie will clap out a rhythm, and then you need to repeat i
t.
In theory, all you need to do is go to a duck when the circle surrounding him
is about to disappear and then press X. You will get a "Good" or "Excellent"
message if you time it right. Otherwise, you will get a "Bad" message. The
problem is things get really fast in the later rounds, and you can only mess u
p
a few times in each song. To have a chance, you will probably need to rely
on
the beat in the background music, and also old-fashioned memorization to
know
where you should be in advance.
Good notes give you 20 points, Excellent notes give you 40 points, and whil
e
you have a combo of 20+, these points are doubled. In practice, the key to
success is to build a long combo, which means avoiding any Bad notes. The
bonus
for getting an Excellent over Good is nice, but it isn't that important. You
also get points for having a high tower at the end, and for repeated notes
(where you need to mash the X button), but these are minor, and not worth
worrying about too much.
Altogether, there are ten rounds. For each round, I will list how to unlock it,
what the reward is for completing it with a Fantastic grade, and the exact
sequence of notes you will have to play. If I write L,U, or R, that means you
need to play a note in the left, up, or right positions. If one of these
letters is followed by a *, then it is a repeated note, and you should just
mash X until you have to stop. Finally, I also list .'s, which indicate pauses.
LL would mean two notes immediately after each other, whereas L...L woul
d give
you some time in between.
Good luck and have fun!

[MIN:FB] Mini-games: Fruitball
======================================================
=========================
HOW TO PLAY: Talk to Horace the cow in the Fruitball Court of Disney
Town.
This game is a pretty mindless (and annoying) variant of volleyball. Fruits

will be shot out into the playing field, and you want to hit them past the
opponents into their goal. Square and X are both normal attacks, and Triang
le
is a spike attack that lets you hit fruits into the air, and then down onto the
opponents' side of the court. For the most part, I recommend relying on
Triangle followed by X. This lets you knock a fruit into the air and then sho
ot
it super-fast towards the opposite goal.
Here are a few general tips:

- After knocking a fruit up with Triangle, you can try to spike it into your
opponent by pushing Triangle again. This is most useful with bananas - y
ou
will leave banana peals all over the opposite side, and the enemies will
trip when they touch them. You can also use big fruits to try to stun your
opponents, but this is less reliable.
- If you have a clear shot at the goal already, X and Square are good
choices. You can press a direction to aim your shot. This only works if th
e
goal is on the ground. When it starts floating into the air, you will need
to use the Triangle + X combo.
- Getting hit directly by a large fruit will stun you. Do your best to hit it
first. Similarly, walking over a banana peal will make you fall over. Try
not to do this.
- The purple fruits are bunches of grapes that will shatter on impact. Each
individual grape will then be worth a whole point, so pay special attention
to these.
- Sometimes one or more nets will appear in the middle of the court, and
these will bounce fruits back. Do NOT keep hitting fruits into the nets
if they are there. If the nets are low, focus on the Triangle + X combo to
get over them. If they are high and are blocking off a whole side of the
court, forget about that side and focus on the other one.
There are three rounds altogether, and winning one round unlocks the next.
+------------------------------------------+
| ROUND 1: Vs two Bruisers |
| Reward for winning: BALLOON LETTER |
+------------------------------------------+
| ROUND 2: Vs Chip and Dale |
| Reward for winning: MAGNERA |
+------------------------------------------+
| ROUND 3: Vs Captain Justice/Captain Dark |
| Reward for winning: CHAOS SNAKE |
+------------------------------------------+
If you win a round more than once, you will get a BALLOON LETTER for
each
subsequent win. In Aqua's story, there is also one additional round you have
to
do at the start vs three Shoegazers.

[MIN:BU] Mini-games: Break the Urns
======================================================
=========================
HOW TO PLAY: Talk to Hercules in the Vestibule of Olympus Coliseum af

ter
completing the world.
In this game, your goal is to earn more points than Hercules by destroying
urns. Each little urn is worth 1 point, and each big urn is worth 5 points.
The obvious thing to do is to just go and attack urns directly, but this isn't
very effective by itself. Big urns take multiple hits, and Hercules will rake
up points faster than you. To win, you are going to want to use barrels:
Regular barrel: If you see a barrel without stars on it, you can hit it a
few times to send it rolling. Jump on top and then move around to instant
ly
destroy everything you hit.
Exploding barrel: If you see a barrel with stars on it, you can hit it a few
times to send it flying. It will explode where it lands, destroying all
nearby urns, and stunning you or Hercules if either of you is nearby. Whe
n
hitting one of these guys, you should either aim at a clump of urns, or aim
at Hercules.
If you always prioritize the barrels, then you should have no trouble winning
.
Magnet and other area-of-effect spells can also be very effective, but be
careful about switching command styles. Different styles often have slower
combos, and that can be a problem.
The first time you win, you will get SONIC BLADE. If you play again, you
will
get a PANACEA each time you win.

[COL:XR] Collectathons: Xehanort's Reports
======================================================
=========================
To unlock the Final Episode, you need to find all the Xehanort Reports and
get
them added to the Trinity Report. For your convenience, I am listing all thei
r
locations here:
Letter: Ven gets this automatically after leaving the Land of Departure.
1: Ven can get this in a chest in the Launch Deck area of Deep Space.
2: Terra gets this automatically after completing Radiant Garden.
3: Aqua can get this in a chest in Merlin's House in Radiant Garden.
4: Aqua gets this automatically right before unlocking the Keyblade
Graveyard.
5: Terra can get this by clearing Arena Match #5 (Sinister Sentinel) in the
Mirage Arena.
6: Aqua gets this automatically after completing the Enchanted Dominion.
7: Aqua gets this automatically at the end of her story.
8: Terra gets this automatically right before unlocking the Keyblade
Graveyard.
9: Ven gets this automatically right before unlocking the Keyblade Gravey
ard.
10: Ven gets this automatically at the end of his story.
11: Terra gets this automatically at the end of his story.
12: Ven can get this in a chest in the Seat of War area of the Keyblade
Graveyard.
If you missed one of these reports during your initial playthrough, don't
worry: you can still go back and pick it up.

[COL:CM] Collectathons: Command Melding
======================================================
=========================
A big part of character growth in Birth by Sleep comes from command meld
ing.
You can access this any time you want from the Command Decks menu. If y
ou are
going for 100% completion and are trying to figure out what you're missing,
see
the Command List section (COL:CL).
Basically, you use up two commands, and you will get a new and stronger
command
for your troubles. You can also optionally use a crystal, in which case you
will get a secondary ability attached to your new command (e.g. Treasure
Magnet, Once More, or HP Boost). Once you level up your new command t
o max, you
will learn that secondary ability permanently. Unless you have the appropria
te
recipe item though, you will not know what command and what secondary ab
ility
you are getting until after the command melding is complete. If you want to
know what to expect, or if you want to make one specific command, then th
e
reference in this section should be helpful.
For each command that can be melded, I will list the following:
1ST INGREDIENT and 2ND INGREDIENT: Which commands have to be

used to make
it. Usually there are several recipes that work - I will list one per line.
TYP: A letter between A-P that helps determine which secondary ability y
ou
will get. For a given command melding, find its type, and then look up in
the bottom chart to figure out which secondary ability you will get if you
use each kind of crystal.
WHO: Which character(s) can do this command melding. If I list T(erra),
V(en), or A(qua) here, they can do it. Otherwise they can't.
%: The percentage of the time that you will get this command when inputt
ing
the correct ingredients. Sometimes you will get a rare (5%-30%) comman
d
instead of the normal one, and that is reflected in this stat.
An ingredient can only be used for command melding once you have leveled
it up
a certain amount, and action commands (e.g. Block, Air Slide, Glide, etc.) c
an
only be used as an ingredient if you have two copies of that command.

To complete your Reports section, you will also need to use every Shotlock
and
every D-Link finish command at least once to register a hit count. The
Shotlocks are listed in the same order as in the command list, so you can use
the chart in the previous section to figure out which Shotlocks if any you are
missing. To see which D-Links you are missing, use the following chart:
+==============================+=====+

[COL:ST] Collectathons: Stickers
======================================================
=========================
During the game, you will run across some golden crowns. Be sure to pick
them
up! They are stickers.
In your Reports, you can select Arrange Stickers to place any stickers you h
ave
found onto a picture. Placing a sticker will give you 7 points if it is in a
good position, and 5 points otherwise. You can always move stickers later,
so
be sure to experiment in order to find a good placement. As your total points
score increases, you will unlock a few nice prizes:
+========+====================+====================+
====================+
| POINTS | TERRA'S PRIZE | VEN'S PRIZE | AQUA'S PRIZE
|
+========+====================+====================+
====================+
| 20 | PULSING CRYSTAL | WELLSPRING CRYSTAL | IGNITE

| 80 | SONIC BLADE | COLLISION MAGNET | DEEP FREEZE

|
| 100 | SECRET GEM | SALVATION | SECRET GEM |
+--------+--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+
The approximate locations of each sticker are available in the walkthrough

sections of the guide. I will update with more specifics as I play through the
English version of the game.
======================================================
=========================
[COL:IS] Collectathons: Ice Cream Shop
======================================================
=========================
You can visit the Ice Cream Shop by talking to Huey (the red duck) in the
Main
Plaza of Disney Town.
The shop has several recipes, and your goal is to collect all the ingredients.
You can get them from hitting Prize Pods, and I have details within the
walkthrough for each world about where to find the Prize Pods. (Use the cha
rts
below to figure out which world you need to go to for a specific ingredient.)
When collecting ingredients, I recommend using Magnet spells. They will g

et you
what you need in no time!
Once you have all the ingredients for a specific recipe, you will get some fre
e
copies of the ice cream that is made, and you will then be able to buy that
flavor for a little bit of Munny in the future.
Each flavor is an item that you can use to instantly transform you into a
certain command style, or to fill up your Command Gauge if you are already
in
that style. Once you unlock Frozen Fortune from Ice Cream Beat, there is al
so a
chance you will switch into that every time you use an ice cream flavor. Thi
s
is the ONLY way to get into Frozen Fortune, and there is a trophy for doing
so
thirty times!
However, the main prize from the Ice Cream Shop is that if you complete ev
ery
recipe, you will earn the SWEETSTACK KEYBLADE, one of the strongest
weapons in
the game.
Anyway, here is the full list of flavors for each character, and how to make
them.

[COL:FC] Collectathons: Finish Commands
======================================================
=========================
When you charge up your Command Gauge, you will either switch command
styles or
you will do a special finish command. As the game progresses, you will unl
ock
new finish commands which you can then equip in the menu. In this section,
I
will list all the options, and what you have to do to get them.
Note: You can only make progress towards learning a new finish command i
f one
of its prerequisites is equipped. So for example, picking up Munny will
only help you learn Surprise 1 if Gold Rush is equipped.

[COL:TR] Collectathons: Trophies
======================================================
=========================
After completing the game with at least one character, you will unlock the
Trinity Archives. One of the options here is a Trophy List. There are 8
trophies altogether, achieved by completing various tasks over the course of
the game. There is no point to this except for fun.
Here is the full list of trophies:
POWER WALKER: Walk 99999 steps

KEYSLINGER: Kill 9999 Unversed
CLOCKWORKS: Get at least 80 hours of total play time
ARENA SWEEPER: Complete all arena matches
DAIRY DEVOTEE: Transform into Frozen Fortune 30 times
IN THE MUNNY: Earn 33333 Munny
ONE DOWN: Finish one character's story
TRINITY: Finish all stories on Proud mode or above
Here are some tips for getting these trophies:
- POWER WALKER: Leave your PSP on (and plugged in!) with the movem
ent stick
taped so that you are running in a circle. It does NOT work to run into a
wall - you have to actually be moving.
- KEYSLINGER: Mirage Arena is good for this, especially Copycat Crisis

because
of the Jellyshade army.
- CLOCKWORKS: Just leave your PSP on and do something else.
- IN THE MUNNY: The best place to get Munny is the Risky Riches arena
match.

two after the game comes out internationally, but I am always glad to hear
feedback. I do get a lot of email though, so if I don't respond to you, don't
take it personally. I promise I still read your email!
