'''Hollow Bastion''' is a [[world]] from ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'', and ''[[Kingdom Hearts coded]]''. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', the world was expanded into the town and other areas. It appeared in a flashback to events from ''Kingdom Hearts'' experienced by [[Xion]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''.

Not based on a Disney film, though showing Disney influence such as the Beast's haunted castle from the movie, ''Beauty & the Beast'', and Maleficent's fortress from the Forbidden Mountain from the film, ''Sleeping Beauty'', Hollow Bastion is a colossal castle that towers above the rest of its world, [[Radiant Garden]]. At one point, it was the only remaining part of the world, along with the waterways beneath it. Because of this, the world itself was known as "Hollow Bastion" in ''Kingdom Hearts'', ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories'', and most of ''Kingdom Hearts II''. However, it regains its original name of Radiant Garden by the end of ''Kingdom Hearts II, ''when [[Tron]] used his powers to show what the world was like before its destruction.

Unlike the rest of the Radiant Garden, which poses as ''[[finalfantasy:Final Fantasy|Final Fantasy]]'''s world, Hollow Bastion has no relation to ''Final Fantasy'' whatsoever.

[[Ansem the Wise]] was the former ruler of this world. The castle was taken over by [[Maleficent]] and she claimed herself ruler, but she was simply being used.

==Setting==
===''Kingdom Hearts''===
[[File:113.jpg|thumb|126px|The Lift Stop]]
[[Sora]] and the rest of the party enter Hollow Bastion at the '''Rising Falls''', appropriately named as there are waterfalls that run up instead of down. Jumping on mystical floating rocks and ledges takes the party to the first of many magical platforms that are scattered throughout the castle. The platform takes Sora to the '''Castle Gates''', the main entrance of Hollow Bastion which is made up of a set of balconies and lifts running outside the castle. From here, the party can travel down into the underground water system or enter the castle itself.

Going down the nearby platform or leaping off the edge of the balcony takes the party to '''Base Level''', an area full of ledges, switches, and enemies. Successfully climbing to the balcony near the entrance earns extra treasures, while taking a nearby bubble carries them to the '''Waterway''', where a series of gates, switches, and bubbles must be navigated to operate the castle gate controls. Off of the Waterway is a small room, the '''Dungeon'''.
[[File:110.jpg|thumb|left|172px|The Entrance Hall]]
Going in the doors at the other end of the Castle Gates area takes the party to the massive two-level '''Entrance Hall''', where a large puzzle must be solved to continue up the castle by allowing access to the second half of the Castle Gates area. Going left takes the party to the '''Library''', also the site of a large puzzle involving organizing misplaced books. [[Belle]], [[Yuffie]], [[Leon]] and [[Aerith]] can later be found here after the Hollow Bastion [[Keyhole]] is locked. Also accessible from the Library is the first of many entrances to the '''Lift Stop''', a series of magic lifts separated by mystical barriers.

Continuing up the castle by taking the lift on the other side of the Castle Gates area is the '''Great Crest''', where the largest of the magic lifts is located. After a long and slow journey across the front of the bastion, the party is dropped on the other side, where they can take the Lift Stop to the next area, the '''High Tower''', where the crest can be moved to create a way up to the upper levels of the castle. Through the Lift Stop at the opposite end of the High Tower is the entrance to the '''Castle Chapel''', where the confrontations with Maleficent take place. Once passed, the area holding Hollow Bastion's Keyhole and the [[Princesses of Heart]], the '''Grand Hall''' is open to confront [[Riku]] in. Beyond the Grand Hall, in a Heartless symbol-shaped portal, lie the '''Dark Depths''' where Sora and company fight Behemoth, and the Keyhole here is sealed.[[File:109.jpg|thumb|148px|The Castle Chapel]]

In the [[End of the World|End of the World's]] [[World Terminus]], Sora is transported to an unseen section of what is supposedly Hollow Bastion. All that is there is a hallway that appears similar to the corridors near Ansem's study in ''Kingdom Hearts II''.  One end of the hall fades to darkness in the distance, leading back to the World Terminus.  The other end has a giant Heartless emblem floating in it, not allowing passage.  To the left of the entrance is a chamber with a strange apparatus. It has a large computer and several human-sized pods attached. This may be where Xehanort and his cohorts tore their hearts from their bodies and became Heartless. The computer has a message that must be read before Sora can leave;

:''Ones born of the heart and darkness, devoid of hearts, ravage all worlds and bring desolation.''

:''Seize all Hearts and consummate the great heart.''

:''All hearts to be one, one heart to encompass all''

:''Realize the destiny:'' ''the realm of Kingdom Hearts''

:''The great darkness sealed within the great heart.''

:''Progeny of darkness, come back to the eternal darkness.''

:''For the heart of light shall unseal the path.''

:''Seven hearts, one keyhole, one key to the door.''

:''The door of darkness, tied by two keys''

:''The door to darkness to seal the light''

:''None shall pass but shadows, returning to the darkness''

:''Ones born of the Heart and darkness, hunger for every heart until the dark door opens''

===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
Access to the castle is very limited in ''Kingdom Hearts II''. During the second trip to the world, the way to the castle is unlocked and leads to the '''Postern''', site of a save point and the base entrance to the bastion itself. Going inside, the party must navigate the twisting '''Corridors''' before reaching the end at '''Ansem's Study''', where many of the mysteries surrounding Ansem can be solved, but many more created.

====Ansem's study and computer====
Ansem's Study was the private study of Ansem the Wise in Hollow Bastion. The room contained a throne and desk, containers filled with [[heart|hearts]], and books. As leader of Radiant Garden, he used it to store his research on the heart. [[Mickey Mouse]] and Ansem often talked in there. There was a portrait of [[Xehanort]] in the study, though it is unknown if Ansem or Xehanort put the painting up there. Behind the painting, it shows the password which are the Princesses of Heart. There was a secret passage in the wall that leads to Ansem's Computer.

Ansem's Computer is a complex computer system used by Ansem the Wise during his rule over Radiant Garden, and later used by his apprentices after his exile. It contains an elaborate network copied from ENCOM, containing the [[Space Paranoids]] world.

It once had information regarding Heartless, [[Nobody|Nobodies]], [[Organization XIII]], and Ansem the Wise. However, when Sora, Donald, and Goofy tried to access information on it, the only data that was not corrupted (possibly by Xemnas) was a file regarding Ansem the Wise.

The computer continues to be used by [[Xemnas]] to access the [[Chambers of Repose and Waking|Chamber of Repose]]. It allows access to the Heartless Manufacturer, and activates the laser that transports users to Space Paranoids. On the other side of the computer room is the small, but often missed '''Heartless Manufactory'''.

==Story==
===''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''===
{{Main|Radiant Garden}}
===Story Between ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' and ''Kingdom Hearts''===
Hollow Bastion was once a glorious castle towering over the Radiant Garden and owned by a respectful king, Ansem the Wise. Much of the history of the castle is unknown, other than that Ansem ruled from it. However, eventually Ansem's apprentices led by Xehanort overthrew their former mentor, and remodeled the castle to include mechanical components. The result was a twisted bastion; half beautiful castle, half distorted factory. According to Leon, Maleficent invaded Hollow Bastion's world with her Heartless nine years before the events of ''Kingdom Hearts''. Some residents managed to escape, many of whom ended up in [[Traverse Town]]. However, the youngest known resident, [[Kairi]], was sent into the oceans of the worlds by Xehanort and ended up in [[Destiny Islands]]. During her reign in the castle as one of [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]]'s minions, it is probable that Maleficent either created or remodeled the castle's keep, which has decorations and models of roses and her thorned plants.

===''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]''===
Sora, Donald and Goofy arrive at Hollow Bastion in time to find Riku attacking another intruder, the [[Beast]]. Sora, Donald, and Goofy confront Riku, but he declares he is the Keyblade's true holder; it jumps into his possession, leaving Sora defenseless except for his [[Toy Sword|old wooden sword]]. Shocked at this revelation, Sora collapses to the ground. Riku departs, and Donald and Goofy, having been ordered to follow the Keybearer, reluctantly follow him. The Beast staggers on despite his injuries, and Sora quickly gets over his shock to help him. The Beast reveals that he is looking for someone important to him, and refuses to depart without her. Sora, sympathizing, takes up his old wooden sword, and the two team up to enter the castle.
[[File:112.jpg|thumb|154px]]
After traversing the castle waterways to unlock the main door, Sora and Beast enter Hollow Bastion. Beast witnesses an illusion of Belle transforming into a Heartless, and, enraged, jumps at the Heartless, with the doors slamming shut behind him. Riku, Donald, and Goofy appear soon after, where Riku orders Sora to give up, though Sora refuses to leave without Kairi. Sora informs Riku that while the darkness may destroy his body, it can't harm his heart, and Riku decides to test Sora's theory by firing a dark energy bolt at him. Sora, believing it to be the end, braces himself, but Goofy rushes in and blocks the blast with his shield. After being questioned by Riku, Goofy swears that he will never betray King Mickey, but won't betray Sora after all that they have been through together, and asks Donald to apologize to the King for him; however, Donald also chooses his friendship with Sora over King Mickey's orders and rejoins Sora. Sora informs Riku that he doesn't need the Keyblade; his friends and heart are the only weapons he needs. Sora's strength of heart with his friends back by his side pulls the Keyblade away from Riku and back to him. After a fierce battle, Riku is defeated and flees. Beast rejoins the party after watching the encounter, observing that Sora's heart was what helped him win.

Riku is upset at losing the Keyblade, but encounters [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]], who promises him that he can make Riku's heart stronger through darkness and allow him to regain possession of the Keyblade. Jealous and angry at Sora and shamed over his loss of control of the Keyblade, Riku succumbs to his pledge and powers, and becomes consumed by the darkness. In the meantime, Maleficent has attempted to use the gathered Princesses of Heart to open the Bastion's Keyhole. The Heartless-possessed Riku meets with her to check her progress, where Maleficent declares she will control and use the darkness for her own purposes; however, neither she nor Ansem-Riku can unlock the Keyhole without Kairi's missing heart.

Sora and friends manage to travel through the labyrinth of a castle to reach the chapel; there they meet with and confront Maleficent. Overconfident in her abilities and underestimating those of Sora's gang, she is soundly defeated. Escaping back to Riku for help, she is stabbed through the heart by his [[Keyblade of People's Hearts]], made from the hearts of the six Princesses. It unlocks the darkest parts of her heart and allows her to transform into a large, powerful dragon; however, Sora's party defeat her again, and she is consumed and burned away by the darkness. Riku then appears and reveals that Maleficent was merely a pawn of the Heartless, unable to see the darkness swallowing her heart. He then departs and Sora and company travel to the Grand Hall, where the Keyhole and Princesses are located, to find and confront him. There, Sora finds Kairi unconscious on the floor in front of the partially opened Keyhole. He tries to wake her, but Riku appears to tell Sora her heart is missing. Riku continues to tell Sora that Kairi is one of the princesses and that her heart is within him. Sora is able to realize that Riku is no longer in control of his own body. Riku knocks both Donald and Goofy back behind a preset barrier, and Kairi's heart reacts to the Keyblade of People's Hearts' power, causing Sora crippling pain. Xehanort's Heartless then attacks him, but Sora recovers and blocks the strike in time. After an intense battle over who would possess Kairi's heart, Sora emerges victorious.
[[File:Rising Falls.jpg|thumb|146px|left|The Rising Falls]]
Riku disappears, but the Keyhole begins reacting to the presence of Kairi's heart. Sora attempts to lock the Keyhole, but without Kairi's heart, it is not complete and cannot be sealed. Sora puts two and two together and realizes what he has to do; despite Donald and Goofy's desperate pleas, Sora stabs himself with the Keyblade of People's Hearts left in Riku's wake, releasing all of the princesses' hearts (including Kairi's) and completing the Keyhole, but Sora falls into darkness himself.

Kairi wakes just in time to see Sora disappear. As Kairi, Donald, and Goofy mourn the loss of Sora, Ansem, now in full possession of Riku's body and having shaped it into one resembling his original human self, reappears, declaring that Kairi's purpose is over, effectively deciding to kill her. Donald and Goofy bravely make a stand against Ansem, but both know that, without Sora, they may not be able to stop him. However, before Ansem can attack, Riku projects himself from his stolen body, manages to establish enough control to stop him in his tracks, and warns Kairi and the others that the Heartless called by Ansem will soon overrun the castle at which they heed and run to escape. The three return to the entrance, and hesitate due to Kairi's reluctance to leave Sora and Riku behind; Goofy himself is still concerned about the Keyhole (apparently failing to realize that, without Sora and the Keyblade, the Keyhole cannot be stopped). An apparently non-hostile Heartless arrives; Donald shouts at it to get lost and whacks it over the head with his staff, but Kairi realizes that the Heartless is, in fact, Sora. At that moment, massive legions of Heartless attack, and swarm Kairi and Sora's Heartless, much to Donald and Goofy's horror. However, a brilliant flash of light blows the Heartless back, and in place of the Heartless, there is Sora, fully restored. Beast stays behind to hold off the Heartless and continue looking for Belle, and so the group departs Hollow Bastion.

[[Cid]] manages to find a way to allow them to return and seal the Keyhole. They return and help Beast reunite with the re-awakened Belle, and jump through the Keyhole to fight a [[Behemoth]] Heartless. After a conversation with Leon's group, who have returned to restore their home world, Sora seals the Keyhole at Hollow Bastion.

In the ''[[Kingdom Hearts Final Mix]]'' version, Sora also has his first encounter with Organization XIII in the chapel by way Xemnas, here known only as "Unknown". After some cryptic messages (such as stating that Sora is incomplete and looks just like [[Roxas|"him"]]), Xemnas departs. It is revealed in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' that this battle takes place shortly after Xemnas recruited Roxas into the Organization, and he fought Sora to test his abilities.

===''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]''===
In Sora's story, Hollow Bastion is also recreated as a figment of his memory. It is where the Beast, Belle, and Maleficent which were created from his memory are, and Belle is denying her love for the Beast and Sora has to defeat Maleficent in her Dragon form. But opposed to the first game, it focuses more on the relationship between Beast and Belle.

In Riku's Story, Hollow Bastion is recreated inside [[Castle Oblivion]] as a figment of his memory. It is the first world he enters and fights a memory recreation of Maleficent in her Dragon form.

===''[[Kingdom Hearts coded]]''===
A data version of Hollow Bastion is the world playable in Episode 6 of ''Kingdom Hearts coded''. New scans from Gangan have shown Sora confronting [[Pete]] in the Rising Falls area and Sora, Donald, and Goofy fighting Heartless in the Library.

==Trivia==
*Upon taking the lift in the '''Lift Stop''' connected to the library in ''Kingdom Hearts'', Sora and party will arrive at an inside area atop the castle. By using first person view, looking upwards reveals stain glass windows that share the same pattern as the pillars in the '''Station of Awakening'''.
*A castle resembling Hollow Bastion was featured in one of the slides [[Jane]] asked Sora to find in the [[Deep Jungle]]. Unlike its ruins, which are visited near the end of the game, it is not noticeably damaged.
*This world has appeared in all games except ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''.
*In the Gummi Ship, in ''Kingdom Hearts'', the Heartless insignia can be seen on the castle, and in the water area below, but you never see the insignia when walking through the Rising Falls.
*In ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories'', there is a statue in the center of Hollow Bastion's '''Entrance Hall''', but it wasn't there in the original ''Kingdom Hearts''.
*Promotional images and movies for ''Kingdom Hearts II'' depict Sora, Donald, and Goofy in battle in the High Tower area of the castle as it appeared in ''Kingdom Hearts'', but the area is nonexistent in the second game.
