The '''Keyblade Graveyard''' is a world | The '''Keyblade Graveyard''' is a world that appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'', and ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]''. It was first revealed in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s secret ending, "[[The Gathering]]". It is made up of unending, rocky {{w|badlands}}, scarred by the battles of the [[Keyblade War]]. Before its formal introduction as a world, the Keyblade Graveyard is known as {{nihongo|"'''The Badlands'''"|謎の荒野|Nazo no Areno|lit. "Mysterious Wasteland"}}. | ||
==Settings and Areas== | ==Settings and Areas== | ||
===''Kingdom Hearts II'' | ===''Kingdom Hearts II'' and ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''=== | ||
Throughout ''Birth by Sleep'', [[Terra]] and [[Ventus]] periodically follow [[Master Xehanort]] or [[Vanitas]] to this world at the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Badlands}}'''|荒野|Areno|lit. "Wasteland"}}, a wide, rocky field situated atop a steep cliff. The [[Vanitas Remnant]] later appears here, where it challenges intruders to battle. In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', the area is linked to the [[Hall of the Cornerstone]] via a [[Corridor of Darkness]], which [[Sora]]'s party uses to encounter and battle the [[Lingering Will]]. | |||
Throughout '' | |||
Each of the heroes in ''Birth by Sleep'' eventually enters the true battlegrounds of the world at the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Seat of War}}'''|古戦場|Kosenjou|lit. "Ancient Battlefield"}}, a small outcropping of rock overlooking the shattered vista below. It leads into the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Twister Trench}}'''|砂嵐の道|Suna-arashi no Michi|lit. "Sandstorm Road"}}, where literal storms of raw emotion roam freely. [[Unversed]] lurk within the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Eye of the Storm}}'''|嵐の中|Arashi no Naka|lit. "Within the Storm"}} inside each twister, ready to attack all who are captured by the maelstrom. Past the storms is the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Fissure}}'''|峡谷|Kyōkoku}}, a small ravine containing a save point and a [[Moogle Shop]]. The final area, the titular {{nihongo|'''{{a|Keyblade Graveyard}}'''|キーブレード墓場|Kīburēdo Hakaba}} are two crossroads, covered by the [[Keyblade]]s of the wielders who fell during the Keyblade War. During his battle with the heroes, Master Xehanort creates a pillar of rock from the graveyard, and summons [[Kingdom Hearts]] to shine down upon it. | |||
After Master Xehanort steals Terra's body and is reborn as [[Terra-Xehanort]], Terra's soul animates his [[Keyblade Armor|armor]] as the [[Lingering Will]], locks them both within the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Will's Cage}}'''|思念の檻|Shinen no Ori}}, and forces him into a final battle. Meanwhile, Ventus and Vanitas have reunited into [[Ventus-Vanitas]], and Ventus is forced to fight off Vanitas's control within {{nihongo|'''{{a|Ventus's Mind}}'''|ヴェントゥスの精神世界|Ventusu no Seishin Sekai|lit. "Ventus's Soul World"}}. Both of these areas vanish after the battle ends. | |||

In ''Kingdom Hearts III'', the Keyblade Graveyard serves as a new base of operations for the [[real Organization XIII]], with a circle of stone pedestals serving a similar purpose to the [[Round Room]]'s thrones at the [[Castle That Never Was]]. It is also the site of the Organization's final showdown with the [[Seven Guardians of Light]]. | In ''Kingdom Hearts III'', the Keyblade Graveyard serves as a new base of operations for the [[real Organization XIII]], with a circle of stone pedestals serving a similar purpose to the [[Round Room]]'s thrones at the [[Castle That Never Was]].

{{nihongo|'''The Badlands'''|荒野| | {{nihongo|'''The Badlands'''|荒野|Areno|lit. "Wasteland"}} return as the world's first area in the game, but with a different layout compared to previous games. Here, the area consists of a wide crater in the middle of a circular valley, where the Guardians of Light battle innumerable amounts of [[Heartless]], [[Nobodies]], and [[Unversed]] shortly upon arrival in the world. On the outer side of the ridge is a wide, barren field accessible through a long crevice, which contains a save point. It is in this field that the Guardians experience their initial defeat against [[Terra-Xehanort]] and the [[Demon Tide]] before Sora uses the [[power of waking]] to undo it. After his doing so, a pink portal leading to [[The Final World]] appears in the southern side of the Badlands next to Battlegate 13. | ||
In the crossroads of the Keyblade Graveyard itself, Master Xehanort creates {{nihongo|'''{{a|The Skein of Severance}}'''|断絶の迷宮|Danzetsu no Meikyū|lit. "Labyrinth of Severance"}}, a sprawling labyrinth that serves as the world's second area. The labyrinth is split into three sections, with the first two each containing a pair of square arenas where Sora must battle two or more of the Organization's members alongside one or two fellow guardians. Spaced between each pair of arenas are a save point, a shop, and a portal to [[Battlegate 0]], followed by a forked road leading to either arena; Sora must navigate a unique booby trap under a time limit to reach the first arena he picks, or else the doors to the arena will close and he must start over, with a simple corridor leading to the other once the battle is won. | |||
The labrynth's first section is the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Trail of Valediction}}'''|乖離の別れ道|Kairi no Wakaremichi|lit. "Crossroads of Divergence"}}. The left path leads to a battle with [[Riku]] against [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]], [[Xigbar]], and [[Dark Riku]], and must be reached by sliding behind stone barricades to avoiding large slabs that rush towards Sora. The right path leads to a battle with [[King Mickey]] against [[Xemnas]], [[Luxord]], [[Marluxia]], and [[Larxene]] beyond a series of walls that Sora must first weave over and under. | The labrynth's first section is the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Trail of Valediction}}'''|乖離の別れ道|Kairi no Wakaremichi|lit.

The right path leads to a battle with [[King Mickey]] against [[Xemnas]], [[Luxord]], [[Marluxia]], and [[Larxene]] beyond a series of walls that Sora must first weave over and under. | ||
After winning the first two battles, Sora must complete a puzzle of colored doors and switches to advance to the next section, the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Twist of Isolation}}'''|孤立の回廊|Koritsu no Kairō|lit. "Corridor of Isolation"}}. Here, the left path requires Sora to jump over and around a sequence of slabs rushing towards him before he can join [[Aqua]] and [[Ventus]]'s battle against Terra-Xehanort and [[Vanitas]], while the right path has square pillars shooting up from the ground impeding Sora's way to [[Kairi]] and [[Lea]]'s battle with [[Saïx]] and [[Xion]]. | After winning the first two battles, Sora must complete a puzzle of colored doors and switches to advance to the next section, the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Twist of Isolation}}'''|孤立の回廊|Koritsu no Kairō|lit.

The second pair of battles are followed by a short and straightforward corridor to the final section: the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Tower of Endings}}'''|終焉の塔|Shūen no Tō|lit. "Tower of Demise"}}, a massive square column that Sora can easily climb via [[Free Running]]. At the top of the tower, Sora joins Riku and Mickey in battle against Ansem, Xemnas, and [[Young Xehanort]], with Master Xehanort observing from atop an even higher pillar of rock. After Master Xehanort is sent to [[Scala ad Caelum]], a portal appears in the middle of the tower | The second pair of battles are followed by a short and straightforward corridor to the final section: the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Tower of Endings}}'''|終焉の塔|Shūen no Tō|lit.

Keyblade wielders eventually clashed over the world's light. Some sought to steal the light, some to usher in darkness, some to balance the two, and some to protect the light. Only [[Ava]]'s [[Dandelions|secret faction]] did not take part in the [[Keyblade War]]. Eventually, this clash resulted in the destruction of the original [[χ-blade]], which split into seven lights and thirteen darknesses, forever leaving the true [[Kingdom Hearts]] beyond reach. [[Luxu]] watched the conflict to its conclusion, with [[No Name]] in hand to allow the [[Master of Masters]] knowledge of how the war ended. With the Keyblade War done, the barren wasteland it was fought on remained littered with the Keyblades of the fallen wielders. | Keyblade wielders eventually clashed over the world's light.

A year after the events of Dark Road, Xehanort is rescued from the Corridor of Darkness by the Master of Masters, who takes him to the Keyblade Graveyard. The Master gives Xehanort a black coat, telling him it’s much better at repelling Darkness than his armour. In return the Master asks Xehanort to look at people’s hearts while travelling the worlds and report back to him. Xehanort returns and reveals what he found, that hearts are more complex than originally thought and that people are mislead by their beliefs. Xehanort tells the Master he plans to do something about that and that he’ll keep the coat. However the Master says he’ll ditch the coat soon as he’ll become too strong for Darkness to control him. Xehanort asks the Master why he doesn’t take his coat off and who he really is. The Master replies he’s too much of a scaredy cat to take his coat off, but tells Xehanort his name before leaving. | A year after the events of Dark Road, Xehanort is rescued from the Corridor of Darkness by the Master of Masters, who takes him to the Keyblade Graveyard.

In order to strengthen the darkness within Ventus, Xehanort brought his apprentice to the graveyard and set [[Neoshadow]]s on him. However, [[Ventus]] was unwilling to rely on his darkness, so Xehanort used his Keyblade to split the darkness from Ventus, creating [[Vanitas]]. The procedure mortally injured Ventus's heart, so Xehanort took him to the Destiny Islands to allow Ventus to expire in peace.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep | In order to strengthen the darkness within Ventus, [[Master Xehanort]] brought his apprentice to the graveyard and set [[Neoshadow]]s on him.

After defeating the [[Spirit of the Magic Mirror]], Terra is informed that Master Xehanort dwells "where war was waged upon the fells", referring to the Keyblade Graveyard, but does not understand the riddle. However, as part of his plot to lead Terra astray, Master Xehanort himself calls Terra to the Badlands, then sends him to Radiant Garden to confront [[Vanitas]]. Shortly afterward, Vanitas leads Ventus to the Badlands and attacks him, but Ventus is rescued by Mickey's timely arrival. | After defeating the [[Spirit of the Magic Mirror]], Terra is informed that Master Xehanort dwells "where war was waged upon the fells", referring to the Keyblade Graveyard, but does not understand the riddle.

Master Xehanort chooses this place to fittingly recreate the second Keyblade War against Sora and his allies. Each clash between light and darkness brought him one step closer to creating the χ-blade once again. Upon the thirteenth clash between Sora and Master Xehanort himself, the legendary Keyblade was remade again and he utilized its power to once again summon Kingdom Hearts to purge the worlds in darkness as it had in the past. Using their combined powers, the guardians of light utilize Xehanort's own powers over space and time against him, to trap him in [[Scala ad Caelum]] where Sora would follow in after to finish him off while the others hold back Kingdom Hearts. | Master Xehanort chooses this place to fittingly recreate the second Keyblade War against Sora and his allies.
