Save here and then head forward to see a cinematic. Now this looks interesting and a little too easy. Well that's because it is. This is actually two alternate dimensions linked together by the big bubbles, no kidding. The first dimension is the one you see it is strange and filled with bubbles. The second dimension you see only when inside a bubble. This second dimension somehow controls the physics of the first dimension without passing any physical matter along with the physics. In short if there is a wall in the second dimension you will not be able to walk through it in the first. Oooo evil. Basically this is a maze with no visible walls. I will explain what to do as best I can however the map here is extremely benficial. Head forward along the bumps in the ground and eventually a bubble will attack you! Now the way things work is the bubbles are the only way to see into the second dimension, but are also the only way to enter a battle. After defeating all the enemies the bubble will leave you in the first dimension again. The monsters in here are pretty dificult (even a behemoth is in a couple of bubbles) so be careful and use cure often. Also try and end with you next to a chest as these are pretty much the only markers in the first dimension. The first green chest contains Power Up, head there now if you are not already there. Now head in the direction the ground it is on points to get to another green chest. This one opens to battle and afterwards you get Defense Up. Follow this land pointer again to the left and open the green chest here to get a Megalixer. Follow this pointer to get to the red chest and open it for another battle and then an Omega Arts accessory for winning. Follow the pointer to a green chest fighting half way along and then getting an Angel Bangle from the chest. Follow the pointer to the next chest to get a Megalixer. Follow the pointer to the next chest and open it to fight a battle and then get a Defense Up after the battle. Now head in the direction of the pointer and open the red chest to get the accessory Three Stars. Follow the pointer all the way over to the green chest way over there and open it to fight a battle and get a power up. Now you can backtrack going around the wall by running right and then going straight to the green chest to get a Dark Ring after the battle. Then continue toward the pillars and the light until a bubble attacks you again and you have to fight a behemoth. After the battle you are finally rid of the stupid multidimensional scary world. Now after the conversation you have two choices, first you can jump straight to the bottom and continue or you can collect the items. I will explain how to collect the items and then end at the bottom. If you jumped to the bottom (or fell) you need to find the rightmost end. At this end on the right wall there is a netting. Search until you find it and then jump onto it. Climb up the netting until you can jump and glide over to the ledge. From here keep jumping and gliding in that direction until you get to a ledge with a save portal and save. Now jump into the cool spiral fountain and you will be transported to possibly the most annoying place in the game. Alright here is how this area works. Each room you enter is a portal to a world you may or may not have already been to. The glowing spirals are transporters. The green ones transport you back the blue ones transport you forward and the red ones transport you to a mini version of the world. You will not be able to continue if you have not locked the world that you are currently at. However, do not worry because by taking the red portal you will be able to go to a mini version of the world, complete whatever needs to be done and then the next world will be available. For instance even if you lock all of the worlds you can the last one will be the end of the world which is impossible to lock so you will be forced to go to that one anyway. Continue on through these if you have not locked them. After going through the end of the world portal and beating the mini world you will be transported to the final platform. This one is a hole leading to a boss battle.
Boss -- The Devil
HP:1500
MP:????
Well being that this guy is responsible for all the evil in the world he is probably gonna be a tough boss. The single most important thing you can understand and learn from this battle is that nothing in KH is timed (except for the timed coliseum tournaments). Even though this is common sense it is the one thing that causes the most frustration. If the particular scenario is not right leave it heal and come back later. If he is about to attack you, but you can get just a few more slices in, leave, heal, and come back later. You will thank yourself in the end. First off he likes makeing you move away from him and then attacking you. This is annoying and as such you should always hold down forward (or the direction pointing towards him) and constantly attack. A plus to being pushed away is that most attacks he uses cannot hit you that far away which gives you plenty of time to heal. Alright move in to attack and beware of the following attacks. The first and most common attack is the volcanic eruption. This attack levels up each time you decrease a bar of his health. First it starts out rather wimpy and short but by the time you get him down to green (only 1200 HP left) this attack will be a menace. This attack will effectively hurt you if you are attacking him physically so make sure to back up if you think it's coming. The second attack he has is a fire breath attack. This one isn't really that bad as you should be attacking from either the side of the head or from behind so it will blast without touching you. After getting him down to pink the volcanic attack will increase in damage and he will gain a few new attacks. When he starts looking left and right finish your attack and run. This means he is blowing the top off the mountain and he will create such a firey blast that it killed me without fail if I stayed to attack too long. After getting him down to below full yellow he will start a new attack. This one starts with him waving his hands in the air and then a circle of energy particles forms. He then directs them to attack you and they follow you until they self destruct or they run out of energy. Now if you wait for them to run out of energy you could be waiting for a while. I suggest running away until you will not be harmed by any other attack and then just wait for them to come. After the first one hits just keep hitting heal and you should survive. Another new attack is a fire throwing attack. With this one he turns his fists into flames and then throws fireballs at you. This one is nasty as it's relatively fast and hard to avoid. I suggest flying around him in a half-circle and hoping for the best. Another technique to avoid this that works somewhat well is to go behind his head when he starts doing this attack and sometimes this helps the fireballs miss. Perservere and you will win (eventually).
After this annoying boss battle you will get Superglide. Decend into the volcano and then go into the glowing white doorway. Now all you have to do is jump down the many levels until you get to the very bottom where another white glowing door is. Head through it and jump into the white glowing pond and then the next white glowing pond and then into the white circular opening. Now kill the behemoth and a piece of the door will break away. Basically just kill the enemies that appear until the door is completely broken away. They do actually stop coming you just have to fight for at least 30 min (that was a joke I'm not really sure how long but long). Jump through the hole and save at the save portal. Examine the door twice and welcome back to destiny island. Head over towards the secret place under the tree and a cinematic plays. Head towards, guess who, Riku! Finally, you did it you got to the last section of the game! The rest of the game is boss battles and the ending! Yea!
Boss -- Ansem Form 1
HP:1500
MP:????
I know what you're thinking right now. Wait a second I fought through all those dudes so that I could fight not one but multiple Ansem's. And the answer is yes! There are three forms. The first is a pushover the second is going to push you over and the third might as well not have been in the game it's so easy. Now for the strategy on the first form. He has two parts himself and his guardian. Now you cannot target the guardian directly and that's allright becuase he has no health and cannot die and therefore cannot end the battle. Just attack like crazy on Ansem and the guardian will cause a slight annoyance every once in a while. Ansem and his guardian have a few nasty attacks to look out for though. First off as you attack Ansem his guardian may slice underneath you in which case you should be able to avoid it by jumping or continued attack on Ansem. If you are on the ground jump up and start attacking for some good damage. After this the guardian will most likely do a particle ring throw. He will create and throw about five rings at you which can do some serious damage but are easily avoided by jumping. If the guardian gets between you and Ansem take the time to cure now because you wont be able to do any damage to Ansem and you might as well if you are low. If at any point during the next two battles you here Ansem say submit you must immediately run away. The guardian will take a swing at you and if he hits he will instantly posses you. At certain points during the next minute or so he will have the option to freeze in place of the attack command. This basically stops and actions so that Ansem can attack you with his energy ball. Don't attack at all while you are being possesed and you should make it through allright. Cure whenever he does damage though or you will go down really fast. After you get him down to below the middle of yellow the guardian gets extremely annoying as he will continually try to posses you. Just attack in between freezes after curing and you should be fine. The first part is over and man was that easy (or not, but it gets harder).
After this a cinematic plays and you need to walk over by the big hole. As you go in the cinematic plays and you lose Donald and Goofy. Now it's time for another boss fight, but not Ansem, yet.
Boss -- Heartless Dude
HP:900
MP:????
Wow this guy again? Oh well he isn't that hard and he needs to find that out! Just constantly attack and this guy will die in no time.
That one was easy, but don't get used to it. This next battle is a toughie. After the cinematic it is battle #2 with Ansem.
Boss -- Ansem Form 2
HP:1200
MP:????
Alright, I know this guy looks easier, but there are a few problems with this battle. First off you are alone, no donald curing and no goofy attacking. Second, he has learned a few moves since you last faught and they are nasty. Alright with that in mind let's get started. First attack he does is most likely an energy track attack. Guardian will light up his fists and shoot two straight lines of energy that burst out of the ground causing massive damage. This attack is something to look out for and can be dodged by attacking Ansem as they will go right next to you. The second and most deadly attack is the runaway train attack. This attack starts with the guardian creating a shield around him and Ansem and then plowing anything down in its straight line path. It then moves a little left or right and does this about four times with a random surprise fifth time. This attack can be dodged with glide as you will be above (sorta) the attack. This battle is a combination of luck, skill, and button mashing. You need to understand that speed is important, but it won't mean a thing if you are dead! Also the ever annoying possesion attack is back from the first Ansem battle. After getting him down to just below halfway on yellow he earns a new attack. This has to be the most devestating attack he has. First it gets dark and then Ansem glows red and white. Then the guardian will sink into the ground and pop up right beneath you. He will do this about 10 times and then will do a huge blast of energy from seemingly every square inch of the ground. To avoid this attack simply jump and glide when the guardian first goes down into his hole and fly circles around Ansem. Then when you touch the ground immediately double tap circle to get back airborne. Do this twice and you should be able to dodge this attack. Keep going at it and don't be worried if you don't beat him on your first try. Also if you are dying really early in the battle it wouldn't be a bad idea to level up as you might be really low.
Good job on finishing that last battle as it is really the last difficult battle in the game. After the cinematic it is time to fight the last form of Ansem (which is also the second easiest).
Boss -- Ansem form 3
HP:1500
MP:????
First off the thing whailing a large stick is the first target. I say first target because this boss fight requires you to fight ansem, then rescue your companions and almost destroy the thing ansem is flying around in in the process, and finally fight and defeat ansem again for the last time. First off defeating ansem the first time is not that difficult. He has many things to help him destroy you, but they are all fairly weak. Simply move in and attack. You will need to heal rather frequently when his health gets lower as his attacks will be stronger. The hardest part is the lights that burn you so easily. They will require healing completely all the time. I suggest having gotten the second chance ability before this battle as it might save your life numerous times. After a short fight the cinematic will show ansem retreating to his hole. Now it is time to find donald and goofy. Kill all the heartless in here and then go for the big glowing ball hanging on the wall. Now back outside attack the large flailing tentacles and the smaller ones to the right and left and once you are done the cinematic will play and you will be sent into another room with heartless. This is how the majority of the battle will be attack the ship, attack the heartless, get a buddy, and attack the room to get back out. Simply fly into the portal and you will be in another room with different heartless and goofy. Kill the heartless here (use lock on if you can't find the last few) and then attack the ball thing. Back outside (again) you need to kill the mouth in the front of the ship. Just keep healing after the light attacks and you should win quickly. Head into the portal and then again fight the heartless here with the help of donald as well. Kill the heartless and then the ball and this section is almost over. Alright now the big jelly thing is the next target just fly up there and then target and attack it until it dies. The turret like creatures are annoying but they don't cause enough damage to go after. After you beat this strange heart like creature you will free ansem from his regeneration chamber. He is ready to go, and so are you and your friends. Time to finish ansem once and for all. Same strategy applies attack like crazy and heal always. After a short battle you have beaten ansem and the game!
Congragulations! You have just beaten Kingdom Hearts! Sit back (for a while) and enjoy the ending, credits, second ending, and special secret movie if you earned it. Make sure to watch after the credits even if you haven't gotten enough for the special secret ending because there is an interesting scene to ponder that plays no matter what.
