Mission walkthrough

Walk forward from the starting point until a cutscene is triggered, after which Roxas and Axel will be able to fly. Mr. Smee, and Captain Hook will also begin bombarding the duo's position with cannon fire, firing one cannon ball from his ship every 10 to 15 seconds. Like during Roxas's earlier trip to Neverland, he and Axel must examine the dug-up treasure chests to locate the Artful Flyers. Only three of the seven chests contain Artful Flyers; all of the others hold a pair a Bubble Beats. After defeating the enemies, Roxas and Axel can check the chests again to find items. Upon defeating the third Artful Flyer, the two Nobodies can RTC.

Overall this challenge should be easy to do though the only annoyance is the trying to find where enemies will appear aside from the ones that appear from uncovering the buried treasure which can make it time consuming. Also the enemy is weak against Fire magic so bring plenty of Fire casts (and make sure Fire is at LV5) and use it other than regular attacks. A well-balanced keyblade for both attack and magic is useful here as long as it doesn't have any bad aerial attacks. Also bring plenty of Cure or Cura, especially for dealing with any damage caused by the cannonballs from Captain Hooks. Axel should be useful here as long as he doesn't get too much in the way if you wish to do any chain combos.
