Kingdom Hearts: Recoded Guide

Kingdom Hearts - Re:coded tells the story of Sora from a new perspective. A glitch has gotten into the Journal and Mickey must re-create Sora to help him get to the bottom of the problem. You will re-visit old areas but from a new angle in a all new story!

Enjoy our walkthrough / game guide and see each battle walked and talked through in our text and video mixed guide.

Station of Awakening

After the opening cutscene you take control of Sora for the first time. Re:coded uses the arrow keys to move Sora around the screen. Walk forward to the center to activate the next scene where you will be presented with 3 choices. Sword, Staff, and Shield. You need to pick one and then a give up the next choice.

I choose the staff for mystic power and gave up the shield as you can dodge on your own and not take the hits in the first place.

After you make your choice you'll get a scene with Mickey and the gang explaining the situation and then you'll learn the basics of fighting and experience. At the end of the training you'll receive your first LEVEL UP CHIP.

This game has a Stat Matrix that you need to fill. To access the Stat Matrix hit ENTER. Now place the LEVEL UP CHIP in the first open slot. This connects the CPU to the next ability. Dodge Roll. It is important to add Chips to the Matrix as soon as you get them to unlock abilities and increase your stats!

Then save your game and a new door will appear. Approach it and hit A to enter the door. Another scene and you'll head to Destiny Islands.

Destiny Islands

If you didn't save before entering the door you can now Save right to the left as you enter Destiny Islands. Then head forwards and talk to Selphie. Destroy all the Red Blox in the area for some money and then continue down to beach and talk to Wakka.

Use the auto-jump feature to jump from metal blox to metal blox until you reach the prize blow. Hit it three times to get a HP 2 CHIP. Drop down and talk to Wakka again and then equip it in the Stat Matrix. This unlocks the ability Scan. This simply allows you to see the name and HP of your enemies.

Now grab the three other Prize Bloxs on the island. Then highest one contains a BLANK CHIP. Although the Blank Chips don't provide a specific bonus they are still important as they fill in spaces in the Stat Matrix.

System Sector

Then use the Metal Blox near the waterfall to climb up on top of the shed and jump over to the next area. You'll see the hooded figure once more and need to chase him into the hidden Backdoor.

SYSTEM SECTOR

Rewards:
Power Armlet (Activates the “Attack Boost” ability, which boosts your Strength when you are down to 25% HP) - 90 SP
Strength 1 -- 70 SP
Magic 1 -- 70 SP
Defense 1 -- 70 SP
Blank Chip -- 30 SP

System Sectors are small arenas that are multiple floors and are filled with enemies. You must kill all the enemies on each floor before going to the next. At the end of the Sector you will get a chance to buy chips and other items with the points you earned in the Sector. Many Sectors have bonuses for completing them quickly and doing other things. Make sure to destroy all the blox and dodge as much as possible as getting hit reduces your SP.

After the Sector is cleared and you've bought all your upgrades you'll be back on the Island and a bridge will appear to take you over to Tidus. You'll have to have a sparing match with Tidus but it's pretty easy. Just keep hitting him and it will be over soon. Grab the FIRE from the prize blox before head back to the main island.

Talk to Selphie again before heading to the waterfall to get a DEFENSE 1 CHIP. If you've gotten everything up to this point you'll need to switch out a blank chip for the defense bonus in your Stat Matrix until you open up more of the matrix. Save the game and head to the water fall for the first boss fight.

BOSS: DARKSIDE

BOSS: Darkside

Stage 1:
In the first stage Darkside will slam its arm down into the ground creating a small shockwave and also releasing several Heartless. Attack the arm to damage Darkside. Randomly Bloxes will spread out that you can destroy while dodging falling magic attacks from Darkside.

Stage 2:
The second stage has Darkside again pounding his arms into the ground, but this time you need to destroy the 3 Bloxes. This will stun Darkside and he will drop his head. Attack his head to damage  him. Darkside will also release a volley of Blox at you from his chest, dodge to the side and then use Fire to blow some of them away for bonus points.

Stage 3:
Darkside is reduced to a single blox. Dodge out of the way of the bloxes that cover Darkside. When they expand away from him, run in and hit him hard. As they start to slow down retreat before they collapse on you. Use Fire to destroy blox for bonus points.

Traverse Town

First off head down and to the left to the Moggle under the Item sign for this town's store.

STORE:
Quick Blitz -- 400 Munny
Fire Edge -- 1800 Munny
Sliding Dash -- 400 Munny
Heat Dash -- 1800 Munny
Round Blitz -- 400 Munny
Fire -- 800 Munny
Slow -- 800 Munny
Potion -- 120 Munny
Ether -- 200 Munny

You can create more powerful attacks in your Command Matrix by combining items. 2 Fires will take you to Fire lvl 2. Where Sliding Dash plus Fire equals Heat Dash. Mess around with various combinations to find attacks that work for you.

Traverse Town Prizes

Now we want to clear out the Prize Bloxes of this section of town. Head to the back left of the accessories shop and there will be your first Bouncy Blox. Jump onto the Bouncy and over to the Prize Blox hitting it as you come by. There is a second Prize just above that one in the small walled off area. Then head to the right side of the city and climb the ladder and then Bouncy Blox to the right building roof. Jump over to the right to the next Prize, BLANK CHIP and then back to the last building roof. Now head down the roof and use the next Bouncy Blox to get to the final Prize in the area which is a THUNDER. Head through the large double doors in the top left to head to the 2nd section of the town.

There are 4 more Prize Bloxes in this section which are all out in the open. Then head back to the top right to help Huey out with some Heartless. Once they are eliminated you'll get a FIRE for your effort. Talk to Huey and immediately afterwards you'll be attacked by a new Large Body Heartless. Stay back and attack it with your magic attacks. Once it is down you'll get attacked by more standard Heartless and finally one more Large Body. Then Huey will give you the Mystery Piece and tell you to head to the Alley. Before you leave the area though head around the back right of the metal bloxes that Huey was standing on to get a BLANK CHIP.

Head back to the central area and a scene will show you the door to the Alleyway. Head through there for the next area. Work your way through the Heartless to the end of the alleyway and take the only right. Climb the ladder and jump from Metal Blox to Metal Blox until you get to the Prize Blox that contains a HP 2 CHIP. From there jump from balcony to balcony until you reach Dewey. He'll give you a THUNDER. Follow Dewey back to the Second District.

Back in the Second District you and Dewey will get into a fight with a Large Body and some Heartless. Sure your ranged magic on the Large Body and the battle will be over quickly. Then you need to find the next System Sector. It's on the west wall on the ground floor of the main area.

Once you leave you'll get the Mystery Piece from Dewey. Then head back to Cid where you started at the very beginning of the main Traverse Town area. After the conversation Cid will give you a new finishing move: SPEED COMBO.

As you head back to Second District you'll find that the door is gone and you need to locate another backdoor / system sector to move on. This one is located right behind you on the door of the accessory store.

Use the Bounce Blox in front of you to get up to the Metal Blox platform. Make sure to grab the Prize before bouncing up higher. Then bounce up to the highest floor and eliminate all the Heartless. The link is on the ground floor.

Floor 2 introduces the Ghost Blox. These Ghost Bloxes are green and they alternate between empty space and being solid. Just watch for them to appear and make your jumps. When you get to the middle level you can run around the Ghost Bloces to get 2 Prizes Bloxes. Then make your way to the top level and eliminate the Soldier Heartless that is there and get the Prize before falling back to the first level and the exit.

The final floor has a mixture of Ghost Blox and Bounce Blox. There are several Prizes to be had as you make your way around this final floor. The last section has a tower of Ghost Bloxes. Watch the timing and jump just ahead of the change to the get to the top and its 4 Prize Bloxes including one containing a THUNDER. The final enemies are on the Metal Bloxes area just below the final top level.

Now back in Traverse Town the door is back and you can go back to the Second District. Use the Bounce Blox on the left to get to a series of Metal Blox and Prizes. To get to the far roof and it's DEFENSE 1 CHIP you need to jump and then use a Heat Dash or other Dash move to get to the roof. Then head into the Third District via the side alleyway. 

When you get to the Third District you'll get attacked by a large group of Soldiers, followed by a Large Body and then many Red Nocturnes. Red Nocturnes float high in the air and fire magic at you. You can hit them with normal attacks though, Sora will launch into the air on his own to attack. After the battle you'll be told to follow the stranger.

Back in the First District you'll see the stranger again and then you'll need to find another backdoor. The door is the door you just came through from Third District.

Talk to Sid and then head into the Second District yet again. Get all the Prizes and then head to the far end of the area to talk to Louie. This will lead to another backdoor. This one is on the west walkway.

This Sector introduces Slider Blox. You can move the Sliders with your Keyblade to new positions. Floor two adds Pair Blox. A Blue and Green Blox that when hit together become a Prize Blox. This floor's Pair Blox are pretty straightforward. Floor three has moving Metal Blox. Stat by pushing the Slider to the Red wall and using it to get to the Bounce Blox. Then across the Metal Blox to the next upper area. Fall back to the ground and head up the ladder in the North West corner. If you've gotten all the enemies the exit is up here.

When you are back in Second District jump up the Metal Blox in front of you to get to the roof and ultimately Louie. He'll first give you another Mystery Piece and then a BLIZZARD. Afterwards head back to the First District.

Side Scrolling Area

You'll get another scene and then you are introduced to the side-scolling areas. You don't get your command matrix but every diamond you pick up contains a limited use ability. You lose points every time you fall or get crushed by not keeping up. It's important to get all the abilities as you go since they one hit destroy a large area of bloxes and enemies.

BOSS: Guard Armor

Keyblade -- Wishing Star

BOSS: Guard Armor

Red -- Fire Lunge (A Fire Dash Ability)
Yellow -- Thunder Rain (BEST - A cascading attack in a directions)
Green -- Wind Spin (A whirlwind attack that rises you up)
Blue -- Blizzard Dart (A attack that shoots balls  from a blizzard above your head)

The key to these stages is to use the abilities they give you each and every time you get one. You want to rack up as many points as you can as fast as you can. Stage 3 is the boss battle. I would save your ability for Stage 2 of the battle as it's much harder. Stage 1 is a quick beat him up. In Stage 2 the Guard Armor will drop Bloxes and then try to hit you with a Laser Beam. Destroy the Bloxes quickly to get out of the way of the Laser. Then the Guard Armor will hop around. Make sure you are not under foot. Near the end he will summon Heartless to help you. Destroy the Heartless quickly for a minor health boost. After the battle you'll get a Keyblade upgrade and then end up in Wonderland.

Wonderland

After the scene you'll have to defend Alice against some Heartless. Then the Cheshire Cat will tell you need to find everyings memories. These have been spread around Wonderland in the form of Inklings. The first Inkling is in the South East corner from where you start. INKLING: ALICE. Select Alice from the options when you talk to Alice after getting the Inklings.

Leave through the left exit to get to the Hedge Maze. You need to sneak through the maze without getting seen. There is a BLANK CHIP to the middle right and the INKLING: WHITE RABBIT in the top left. Exit via the bottom left of the maze to go to the Lotus Forest. Right away to the left is the INKLING: HEARTLESS. The Blue enemies in this area will freeze you so if you earned the Blizzard Charm now is a good time to use it. Grab the INKLING: PECULIAR HOLE and climb all the ladders to get to all the Prizes including a DEFENSE 1, BLANK, and BLIZZARD.

Now head out the East exit to get to the Aimless Path. 12 more Inklings to go! In the middle left is a BLANK CHIP, and above that is INKLING: CARD SOLDIERS. Then upper right is AERIAL SWEEP. With these three picked up exit out the top middle to the Tea Party Party. You'll have a battle and then the INKLING: UNBIRTHDAY is in the poster in the corner. Get the BLANK CHIP and use the Metal Blox to get on the entrance roof to get the STAR RAVE ability. Then activate the middle table to get the rabbit to show up. You won't be able to help him yet since you don't have the correct Inkling.

Head back to the Aimless Path. It's time for another System Sector. This one is on the right side of the T-shaped hedge near the bottom left of the maze. This System Sector is the first you can bet on. You put a portion of your SP to try to win bonus SP in Trials.

Just make sure to go to the third area to get enough Heartless to attack. Then head back to area two to go to floor 2. 200 seconds is pretty long but blaze through the enemies as fast as you can and then head to area 2. Finish everyone and get them get to the exit fast. Floor 3 is simply to not use healing. So if you have Potions or Cure in any of your slots remove them as soon as the floor starts. You get INKLING: WATCH for beating the Sector.

Head back through the top exit to go back to the Tea Part and then select the Watch near the bottom of the menu. You'll get INKLING: TRAIL. Then look at the door to the wood house to get INKLING: MAD HATTER. Now work your wall ALL the way back to Alice at the start. Enter the lower left exit for the Rose Garden.

1) Head through the only Arch to get to the bottom middle square.
2) Go West to the L-Shaped Area.

Then take out the head to finish the Sector. Make sure to buy the Teacup as you'll need it to complete the land.

Head back out the Southeastern exit to get back to Alice. Pick the options in the following order.

White Rabbit

Then the bottom option, Can you remember more?

Card Soldiers
Trial
Mad Hatter

After that you'll get a CURE 1. Then its battle time. First you need to hit both sides of the center tower to lower the birdcage then move over there and use the birdcage to get to the keyhole.

BOSS: TRICKMASTER

BOSS: Trickmaster

This section is a side to side action sequence. You hit A to launch magic at the enemies. You can hold down A and lock onto 5 different enemies at once. After 10 quick stages you will fight Trickmaster for the first time. Just jump over the waves of fire and dodge the homing fire. Then 10 more stages and another Trick Master sequence. This second time he adds explosive bloxes and bouncy fireballs. Then stage 3 is just the Trickmaster with all the attacks you've seen only this time he'll flip the world around.

Olympus Coliseum

There is a store between each layer.

STORE:
Rising Strike -- 400 Munny
Quick Blitz -- 400 Munny
Fire Edge -- 1800 Munny
Thunder Edge -- 1800 Munny
Sliding Dash -- 400 Munny

Stop -- 800 Munny
Potion -- 120 Munny
Hi-Potion -- 320 Munny
Ether -- 200 Munny
Panacea -- 160 Munny

Head inside to talk to Phil. You'll then be teleported inside the Coliseum and find a SHRED OF WISDOM. While fighting in the Coliseum you lose most of your deck commands and your shortcut commands.

So this area is more like a traditional RPG. You go first, then the eneimes back and forth. You use your commands to make a stack and then use it all at once. It's also important to destroy ALL the bloxes in each room as these effect the strength level of the enemies and hinder your ability to move on to the next room. Hitting A right before you land an attack will let you attack more in one move. You can also hit Y to Block.

Level 1 (yellow) - Normal
Level 2 (red) - Double Strength
Level 3 (Flashing) - Triple Strength

Keep working your way from room to room making sure to use Potions as needed until you get the large top room. Make sure break all the bloxes to get a STRENGTH 1, MAGIC 1, and HP 2. The Warp to the next layer is in the back corner.

In Layer 2 you will be introduced to Licenses. You'll get a few right away, STRENGTH-L, BREAK-L, DEFENSE- L. Then once you win the battle you'll get a SCOUT-L. After clearing out the entire room head back to the first room to meet up with Hercules. He'll join your party and you'll go into a battle. Now that you have Hercules you can use him to break down all the walls in the layer.

When you get to the next mid stage the Moogle will give you some freebies. CHARGE-L, AUTO-BLOCK-L, REGEN-L, and a AUTO-LIFE-L. The next stage includes spinning vortexes that are high level encounters. You want to make sure you attack first and be ready with the Licenses you want as these can be tough encounters where 5 plus Heartless are attacking at once. Use High Jump to get to the bottom right for some good Prizes. Then do the left side followed by the right side. The top section contains a boss battle after clearing the first area.

BOSS: CLOUD

BOSS: Cloud

This can be a tough battle so using an Auto-Life, Auto-Block and Strength Licenses might be a good idea. Especially considering how long ago you probably saved last. Cloud's big attack is his Omnislash. This attack can hit both of you multiple times. Make sure to time your attacks right for combos and criticals.

Work your way through Layer 4 as you had all the previous layers. You'll find  Cloud in the upper right corner. Then head to the lower left to help him with a fight. Stock up and save and then it's on to the final fights.

BOSS: CERBERUS

BOSS: Cerberus

Cerberus attacks the whole party with Fireballs and can do a triple bit attack that hits the whole party also. Luckily you have Cloud on your team so use Cura and keep the pressure up with damage.

BOSS: HADES

BOSS: Hades

You get no rest between battles so Regen-L and Defense-L can mean the difference between living and dying. Blizzard based attacks do the most damage and be careful of the Fire based attacks that will be coming your way with abundance. Hades will also summon extra Heartless and he is immune to Fire damage so don't bother.

Talk to the shop owner on the right to get access to the store. Make your way around the plaza getting all the prizes. To get the high Rare Prize jump on the stores roof and use the Bounce to get over to the ELIXIR. Once the Plaza is clear head out the north exit to the Main Street.

Jump up to the right and work your way around the awningsw to a FIRAGA. Use the Metal Bloxs on the other side to get to the top and a CONFUSE. A LUCKY STRIKE in top right corner. Then take care of the enemies below. Go West into the Alley to get a BLIZZARD BUSTER. Then back to the Main Street and head North to the Palace Gates.

Before talking to Aladdin grab all the Prizes including matching the two Pair Bloxes for a BLIZZARD RESISTANCE 2. Once you speak to him, try to leave and you'll be attacked. Watch out for these new Bandits as they pack quite a punch. Go back to the Main Street and exit via the very top the North East to get to the Bazaar. Go to the top and knock the Pair Blox down to the ground to match up with the other one to get a DEFENSE 1. Then head to the Alley to face Jafar.

BOSS: JAFAR

BOSS: Jafar

Jafar is waiting in the Alley with Jasmine. This battle is harder then it should be just because of the horrible camera angles. After your initial battle on the ground Jafar will teleport between the two side ledges. So most of this battle is simply getting the camera to line up properly for you to do anything.

Iago

Afterwards head back to the opening area, The Plaza, and talk to Aladdin. Iago will steal Aladdin's Lamp and he's frozen so you have to get it back. Iago's position is random so just work your way through all of Agrabah until you find him 3 times. Breaking Bloxes and taking out the Heartless gives you more time. Just run from area to area as you'll get a notice if you are in the right room. After getting Iago once Jafar will create Phantom Jafar. If Jafar touches you, you lose time so be careful. Once you get Iago the third time Genie will show up and he'll get rid of Phantom Jafar and send you to the Cave of Wonders. Time for another System Sector. It's on the ground to the left of the cave's mouth.

Sliding Rush -- 100 SP (Can buy multiples, price increases each time)

Trials:
Floor 1 -- 5.0x -- Use your Finish command!

You can make the challenge a lot easier if you have a Ether or 2. Otherwise its best to run around the edges and fire off your magic at the 3 enemies as you get it.

Afterwards jump into the mouth of the cave to continue. The shop has the same items as before. Work your way around the platform until you make it to the boulder traps. It's easy to follow them around just don't run into them when they pause at the corners. To get the Prize on the pillar just go to the end and then do a small jump and launch some Fire or Blizzard over. There are a lot of enemies in this area, but it's open floor plan gives you plenty of chances to retreat, heal up, and then come back when you are ready. Once you get to the waterfall of sand you'll have to retreat to find a backdoor. This one is all the way back on the side by side boulder rolls on the middle left side block of the far western straight track.

Floor 2 -- 3.0x -- Freeze Heartless 3 times!
Floor 3 -- 4.0x -- Miss with no more than 14 of your attacks!

I am horrible at blocking for the first trials was the only hard one. Use low end Blizzard spells to freeze the Heartless on Floor 2. The secret to Floor 3 is to use your commands only. Missing with commands doesn't count towards the 15 you can miss. This area introduces Magnet Blox. These pull you towards them so watch out while trying to jump.

Back in the “real world” head back to the waterfall and through the opening that is there now. Work your way through timing your jumps. If you fall down the first section before the store and save point you'll have to do a System Sector before you can get back to the top. If you fall down the last section there are a few enemies and some prizes so it's almost worth it to miss a few jumps on purpose to get some extra Chips.

Trials:
Floor 1 -- 5.0x -- Defeat the Gold Tricholoma!

Golden Tricholoma

To get the Gold Tricholoma to spawn simply move back and forth between the rooms. When it appears hit it fast. Not only does it warp away, but if you don't get it within a short period of time then the Tricholoma will disappear.

Once you get to the end of the top area the Metal Blox will start to dissolve as you jump on them so it's easier and safer to get the last two Prize Bloxes with commands. Then at the very end you'll be on a elevator and the Bloxes slowly drop out so keep towards the center.

BOSS: JAFAR

BOSS: Jafar Part 2

Jafar will summon Bug Bloxes and also make copies of himself. Only the original Jafar can be damaged so ignore everyone else and focus on the main Jafar and he'll go down pretty quickly.

After that you'll have to find the keyhole. It's in a random location so just look around as fast as you can until you find it. Busting Bloxes will give you extra time.

BOSS: IAGO

BOSS: Iago

Jafar is now a genie. But the real enemy is Iago. You need to take him out to get the lamp back and end it all. Keep moving to avoid Jafar's attacks and simply work your way around taking command attacks on Iago as you can. Bandits will be added to the mix near the end and just keep the pressure on Iago. In the second stage they will add blocks and Iago will fly up high. Your best bet is to simply use Thuder to hit him from below instead of trying to climb the Bloxes.

Head straight forward past the store to the main Castle doors. They won't open so we need to find all the correct switches. Now head to the far right and ride the Elevator down to the Waterway.

Head to the right and hit the first switch. You then have 10 seconds to hit the next one. Not a big deal since it's about 2 steps away. Next you have to maneuver through the damage blocks to get to the next area. Remember you don't have any commands so be careful. After hitting the next switch you have 20 seconds to get to the far one. This is a little more difficult as you have to jump over the damage Bloxes to get to then. Then make your way to the center button. Once pressed work your way back to the main gates.

You have to dodge in this small arena for about a minute, then Goofy will come and save you. After that you'll be attacked. You'll still be worthless, so use A to get Goofy on attack and just stand back and watch him work. Go to the main middle door and you'll learn you need to get four Emblems so head to the left door and into the Library to get the first piece on the table. When you go back into the Entrance Hall you'll see Donald running out the front door. Put your newly acquired EMBLEM PIECE into the door before heading back through the front gate.

On your way back to the Waterway have Goofy smash all the Bloxes to get your Prizes since you are pretty much worthless. Once he's smashed all the Bloxes use the Bouncy Bloxes to get on the roof and to the other high areas to get some more prizes before you go down to the Waterway again.

Break down the wall of Bloxes and move down to the blue switch. Make sure Goofy is in Blox busiting mode and activate it. You now have 25 seconds to get to the next switch is means Goofy has a lot of Blox to break FAST. The next group is 25 seconds also. Use the Command button to get Goofy to use Tornado or he won't finish in time.

Now that Donald is in your party head all the way back to where you used the Red button the first time and end down the now opened side are to get the second EMBLEM PIECE. Then back to where you got Donald to take this new elevator up.

Head into Library 1 and have Donald use the Red Switch to open a passage. On in Library 3 hit the Blue Switch, wait for the Green Bloxes to switch and then run through and get the Red Switch to gain access to Library 4. Now hit the Blue Switch and use the Ghost Bloxes to get to the upper area and the Red Switch. Make sure to have them break the Rare Prize on the uppers to get a CURE 3. Exit via the top to go to Library 3 and make sure you don't fall as you work your way to a THUNDER 3. Jump down into the top left to get to Library 2.

In Library 2 there are 3 Columns. Once you press the first switch one of those columns will have the button, one with have a MEGA FLARE, and one is just Bloxes. Get the Mega fast and then hit the button. Exit to the Entrance Halls Upper Level and hit that Blue switch. How many switches is that already? A million? Work your way through a LOT of Blox. There are enemies also but just spawn Donald'xs Thunder and it will take care of both. Hit the Red switch and get yourself a EMBLEM PIECE. The drop down and enter the third piece and head out into the Gate area again.

Outside break down the first wall of Blox and Bounce up to the. Wait for it. Blue switch. Then head left and use the Bloxes to get to the other side and the Red Switch. Then jump over to the final EMBLEM PIECE. Then get back to the Gate and put the final piece into the door.

You will now be in a small enclosed area with a TON of enemies. Just run around like the worthless non-attacking Sora that you are and let Donald and Goofy do all the work.

Now out on the High Tower hit the Blue Switch and then book it around to the hopefully final Red Switch. Drop down to the lower area and approach the pipes to discover we have another system sector.

Head back through the pipes area and after the scenes you get the Keyblade back! And then fight Pete.

BOSS: PETE

BOSS: Pete

Pete is actually pretty easy and straight forward. He'll roll an ball towards you that cancels all your commands which is very easy to dodge. Pete will also throw some bombs that do very minor damage. This is one of the few fights that you can really just run up there and do some major hand to hand damage. During part 2 he adds a lightning ball that follows you for a while. Again, pretty simple to dodge.

BOSS: RIKU

BOSS: Riku

Right after Pete you need to fight Riku. Riku is a 3 stage boss and it seems he's fighting the enemy control as he's not too hard a boss. Riku has a Dash and Rising Slash attack. In Stage 2 he'll add a strike that throws out Damage Bloxes. In Stage 3 he does a Hyper attack that does a LOT of damage. You need to dodge roll out of the way ASAP and just keep up with commands and attacks.

Can can use Ethers if you want, but spawning commands will get you to MAX fast also without costing you any munny. The problem with this Trial is that its a snake level and there are a TON of pathes and no way to get to the upper area so you need to hit the snake hard and fast so you don't lose your MAX waiting for it to come by again.

HOLLOW BASTION: HOLLOW BASTION

You'll go right into a Boss Battle when you go to the final area.

BOSS: DATA RIKU

This battle plays out exactly the same as the last one. Just work the room and try to get in behind Riku to negate his shield.

Escape

You'll be thrust into a side-scrolling platformer. No commands, just jump and hit. Pretty straight forward until the end when you'll have to ride a snake of bloxes to the top. Then on to the next boss.

BOSS: DRAGON MALEFICENT

BOSS: Dragon Maleficent

The battle is side view also. Just two attacks coming your way. She'll jump and land throwing a green shockwave your way. Just have Sora jump over it and hit her. Then she'll spit green fireballs from the air you need to dodge. Look for command cubes in the area to gain special abilities.

After a long series of scenes you'll be in the Grand Hall of Hallow Bastion.

BOSS: INVISIBLE

Another stage area with you jumping around 10 stages before attacking the boss. Same as before. Invisible will launch a series of energy balls towards you and also come straight at you with a sword attack. Dodge left to right and smash that attack button as fast as you can. And I mean really BLAZE on that attack key while jumping and you'll take Invisible down fast.

BOSS: DARKSIDE

BOSS: Darkside

Same attack as before. He'll hit the ground and then come in and do your damage. Watch for the added bonus of ice columns or fireballs so get in, take a few hits, and get out. Then Darkside will launch some thunder attacks. Simply keep running around the outside until it is over. He likes to do it A LOT. His third attack is to disappear and launch his hands up from below. Although you can do damage to the hands they attack very quickly and you're better off just dodging.

BOSS: HEARTLESS SORA

BOSS: Heartless Sora

The first stage is pretty simple. It gets complicated in stage 2 when he will call 2 clones. You have to eliminate the 2 clones before attacking Sora directly. Then he will launch into the air and throw Keyblades at you. Simply dodge until a yellow circle comes up. Go into the circle and fire at Sora. This will make him a standard Heartless. Once he is down you need to do it one more time.

Castle Oblivion

Finally the end game. You need to go back to each and every world yet again. There are 3 endings per world you need to get. Then 1 final battle.
