===First Visit===
Once you land {{Wtext|Sora|c}} will feel a warmth inside, as if he's been to this place, {{Wtext|Donald|c}} makes it out that {{Wtext|Sora|c}}'s hungry, but {{Wtext|Sora|c}} blasts out that he's serious, then a roar is heard. Once you're in control, save and freeze the two bubbles with {{Wtext|Blizzard|w}} and jump on them to the {{Wtext|chest|t}} to get a {{Wtext|Dispel-G|i}}. Jump down and open the chest above the water to get Dalmatians 91, 92 and 93. Head over to the 3rd bubble and get in it and you'll find a {{Wtext|chest|t}} underwater with a {{Wtext|Dispel-G|i}} inside it. Now head back to the same bubble but this time freeze it with magic and jump onto the platform to the left and open the {{Wtext|chest|t}} there to get a {{Wtext|Blizzaga Ring|a}}. Then glide ahead to the platform with an arch for a cutscene. {{Wtext|The Beast|c}} is there and claims he simply believed to find {{Wtext|Belle|c}} and that his world fell into Darkness once she was taken. {{Wtext|Riku|c}} avoids {{Wtext|The Beast|c}}'s hit and attacks him back and {{Wtext|The Beast|c}} falls to the ground when {{Wtext|Sora|c}} appears to stop {{Wtext|Riku|c}}. Soon {{Wtext|Riku|c}} takes the Keyblade from {{Wtext|Sora|c}}, and calls him the "delivery boy". And throws the {{Wtext|Wooden Sword|w}} at him. {{Wtext|Donald|c}} and {{Wtext|Goofy|c}} leave {{Wtext|Sora|c}} to follow {{Wtext|Riku|c}} as he holds the Key. {{Wtext|Sora|c}} and {{Wtext|The Beast|c}} join together to get their loved ones. Now that you have a weak weapon, you must rely on {{Wtext|The Beast|c}} and items. Glide to the {{Wtext|chest|t}} just behind this platform to get a {{Wtext|Megalixir|i}}. Now jump to the two moving platforms and head to the {{Wtext|Castle Gates|l}}.
[[File:Beast KH.png|right|170px|The Beast]]

Now from here, head right and the gates will open to another section of this area. Examine the switch near the wall to cause a hanging platform to move. Then examine the other to go down to the {{Wtext|Base Level|l}}. Jump into the bubble on the left to go to the other half of this area and jump onto the platform, then backwards to get to a {{Wtext|chest|t}}, open it to get a {{Wtext|Mythril|i}}. Jump to the ice switch and "Release", it will cause a platform to extend out of the wall. Turn around for a {{Wtext|chest|i}}, open it to get a {{Wtext|Tornado-G|i}}. Glide from the left side onto the other platform and use the other ice switch and "Release". You'll have both platforms extended and can easily get across. If you spot a {{Wtext|chest|t}} on a platform to the right, open it to get a {{Wtext|Tornado-G|i}} then head back to the 2 extended platforms and go through the exit to the {{Wtext|Waterway|l}}. Inside you'll find a wall with iron bars, "Call" and {{Wtext|The Beast|c}} will clear the way. Head in and open the {{Wtext|chest|t}} to get an {{Wtext|Esuna-G|i}}. Head back to the {{Wtext|Base Level|l}} and jump into the bubble on the right to get back to the {{Wtext|Waterway|l}}.

In this room there is a Save Point with a {{Wtext|chest|t}} to its left, open it to get a {{Wtext|Firaga Ring|a}}, then "Call" to clear the way. Now from here head into the bubble on the left to go further in. "Call" to get into the {{Wtext|Dungeon|l}}, there are two {{Wtext|chests|t}} here both containing {{Wtext|Float-G|i}}. There is also a {{Wtext|Blue Trinity|i}} here, but now head back and go left.

Here interact with the first button on your left, then head to the button on the gate and interact with it to lock you into a small area, from here go into the new area and use the button there, it will move another wall over, then head through to where it was and interact with the button on the floor and it will move a wall revealing a bubble, jump into it to get to the next area. The button here will take you higher, use it and then go ahead to the last button to move a number of gears which eventually opens the door into the castle. Head back through the bubble and then use the buttons in reverse and head all the way back to the {{Wtext|Castle Gates|l}} and head through the great door. 

Once inside a cutscene will play showing all the Princesses of Heart in stasis with {{Wtext|Maleficent|c}} calling to the Princesses to reveal the Keyhole. In the {{Wtext|Entrance Hall|l}}, {{Wtext|Sora|c}} and {{Wtext|The Beast|c}} enter but {{Wtext|The Beast|c}} feels {{Wtext|Belle|c}} and turns around to find her, however she soon turns to a {{Wtext|Shadow|e}} and he jumps at it closing the doors behind him. {{Wtext|Riku|c}}, {{Wtext|Donald|c}} and {{Wtext|Goofy|c}} appear, where {{Wtext|Riku|c}} turns into his dark mode and casts a fireball onto {{Wtext|Sora|c}}, {{Wtext|Goofy|c}} appears out of nowhere and guards him. {{Wtext|Donald|c}} soon follows, the {{Wtext|Keyblade|w}} disappears from {{Wtext|Riku|c}}'s hand and goes into {{Wtext|Sora|c}}'s. {{Wtext|Riku|c}} calls onto his {{Wtext|Soul Eater|w}} and a boss battle begins.

}}

After the battle, {{Wtext|Riku|c}} will flee, and {{Wtext|The Beast|c}} will come back from behind the door and rejoin the party. Now head straight and examine the door with the Heartless emblem on it, there are four sockets and you need to find the pieces that fit into those four. From here head to the right side and jump onto a small ledge, then jump further up to reach the top of the platform, since the room is so small, you just need to jump to the left. Get there and open the {{Wtext|chest|t}} on that platform to get a {{Wtext|Power Up|i}}. Now head out and go to the right to the {{Wtext|Library|l}}, from here go straight and to the left to find a red book, the {{Wtext|Khama Vol.8|i}}, then head to the right and place it on the shelf with the rest of the Khama books. From here go left to the column and turn the turntable until you get the {{Wtext|chest|t}}, open it to get an {{Wtext|Elixir|i}}. From here go up the stairs and use both turntables to get a {{Wtext|Mythril|i}} and a {{Wtext|Mega-Potion|i}}. Then get the green book, the {{Wtext|Mava Vol.6|i}} and use the {{Wtext|Green Trinity|i}} to get the {{Wtext|Azal Vol.3|i}}. Climb on top of the bookshelves and glide to the {{Wtext|red chest|t}} near the exit and open it to get a {{Wtext|Dispel-G|i}}. Now from here head along the bookshelves to the other turntable. Spin it around to get an {{Wtext|AP Up|i}}. Jump down to the A shelf and place the yellow book there. The shelf will move revealing another area of the library, pick up the blue book, the {{Wtext|Salegg Vol. 6|i}} and place the {{Wtext|Mava Vol.6|i}} on the right space making 3 green and 3 blue and 2 pink. Turn around and place the {{Wtext|Salegg Vol.6|i}} on the shelf with the blue books. The shelf will move revealing the staircase once more, however turn left and get the {{Wtext|Nahara Vol.5|i}} from the shelf ahead and go up the stairs and place it on the N shelf. It will move revealing a shelf with purple books and a green one, this is the {{Wtext|Mava Vol.3|i}}, head back down to the M shelf and place it there to reveal a desk with a purple book, the {{Wtext|Hafet Vol.4|i}}, go and place it on the H shelf to reveal a hidden exit. Then grab the {{Wtext|Theon Vol.6|i}} from the desk near the save point and place it on the shelf near the doors to reveal a red button. Press the button to unlock the doors to the upper level of the {{Wtext|Entrance Hall|l}}.

As soon as you exit, break the vases beside the statue on the right to make the fountain work again and drop an {{Wtext|Emblem Piece|i}}. Then cast {{Wtext|Fire|w}} on all the candles to dissipate the flame over another {{Wtext|Emblem Piece|i}}. Use the {{Wtext|Red Trinity|w}} near the statue to push it down and allow it to break leaving another {{Wtext|Emblem Piece|i}}. Cast {{Wtext|Thunder|w}} on a small stone that will cause the platforms with lightning bolts on them to move up and down, allowing you to traverse between up and down. Then go to the statue at the far end and push it onto a platform to reveal a {{Wtext|red chest|i}} with an {{Wtext|Emblem Piece|i}} within. And that's all 4 emblem pieces. Traverse around the room getting every piece then go into the {{Wtext|Lift Stop|l}}. 

Now a cutscene, {{Wtext|Riku|c}} runs into the {{Wtext|Castle Chapel|l}} and a man wearing a brown cloak with a hood talks to {{Wtext|Riku|c}} telling him that the heart that is strong and true will win the {{Wtext|Keyblade|w}}. He is then persuaded to open his heart to Darkness when in reality, he is letting himself be possessed by the strange man.

Once in the {{Wtext|Lift Stop|l}}, examine the switch to the left so it takes you higher, then examine the one on the right to get onto the platform. Here, target the platform the {{Wtext|chest|t}} is on and use {{Wtext|Gravity|w}} to lower it. Now open it to get an {{Wtext|Orichalcum|i}}. Head back and make the switch take you lower, use the other switch and head through to the {{Wtext|Waterway|l}}. Here go to the left to find two platforms, one that leads back to the {{Wtext|Lift Stop|l}} and another that leads back to the {{Wtext|Dungeon|l}}. Use {{Wtext|Lift Stop|l}} one and examine the switch to get some MP Orbs and a {{Wtext|Mythril|i}}. Go back down and into the {{Wtext|Dungeon|i}} and use the {{Wtext|Blue Trinity|i}} for a {{Wtext|Mega-Ether|i}}, {{Wtext|Mega-Potion|i}} and a {{Wtext|Cottage|i}}. Head back to the {{Wtext|Lift Stop|l}} and head through the exit beside the switch to the {{Wtext|Castle Gates|l}}, head around to the left then jump and glide to the copper platform, then use {{Wtext|Gravity|w}} on the higher platform to get the {{Wtext|chest|t}} and open it to get Dalmatians 94, 95 and 96. Then from here use the switch closest to the copper platform to get a hanging platform moving across from one end to the other, jump on it and when you reach the edge, jump and glide to the lone column with a {{Wtext|chest|t}} on it, open it to get an {{Wtext|Orichalcum|i}}. Then glide to the other end and open the {{Wtext|chest|t}} to get a {{Wtext|Holy-G|i}}. Head back to the other end of the {{Wtext|Castle Gates|l}} and go higher up with the switch opposite the stained glass windows. You'll be at the {{Wtext|Great Crest|l}} now, from here head left and interact with the switch to get onto the great platform to get across the crest. At the middle of the crest, Heartless will invade the platform stopping the platform for you to battle. Then a switch will appear in the middle of the platform allowing you to proceed across the crest. Examine it and then at the end you will drop off. There will be a {{Wtext|Blue Trinity|i}} and a {{Wtext|chest|t}}, the {{Wtext|chest|t}} contains a {{Wtext|Dispel-G|i}} and the Trinity will give you a {{Wtext|Megalixir|i}} and 2 {{Wtext|Cottages|i}}. From here, head down the stairs to the left and into the {{Wtext|Lift Stop|l}}.

Interact with the switch nearby to go a level above, go back out to the {{Wtext|Great Crest|l}}. To the left there is a hidden {{Wtext|chest|t}}, open it to get an {{Wtext|Orichalcum|i}}. Use the switch to the left to get to the {{Wtext|High Tower|l}}. Cast {{Wtext|Gravity|w}} on the floating platform and open the {{Wtext|chest|t}} to get a {{Wtext|Thundaga Ring|a}}. Interact with the switch to the far left to lower one of the great platforms and head into the {{Wtext|Lift Stop|l}} near where you came. Head across this area to the other exit for the {{Wtext|High Tower|i}}, clear out the Heartless. Cast {{Wtext|Gravity|w}} on the floating platform to get Dalmatians 97, 98 and 99. Then examine the switch to lower the other great platform so you can get onto it, from here drop down the side and glide until you get onto a ledge underneath the great platforms, head through the exit to a floating platform with a chest containing a {{Wtext|Float-G|i}}. From here drop down to the Great Crest and make your way back up to the left side of the {{Wtext|High Tower|l}}. As soon as you get back to the great platforms, use the switch to make one of them go even higher, climb up it and go to the right to get a {{Wtext|Megalixir|i}} from a {{Wtext|chest|t}}. Then head left to the switch and examine it and it will turn the redirect mechanism anticlockwise, now head back down to the switch for the great platform and turn left and go inside the exit to the {{Wtext|Lift Stop|l}}, go ahead to the {{Wtext|Castle Chapel|l}} for a cutscene.

In the cutscene, {{Wtext|Riku|c}}, now possessed, will appear beside {{Wtext|Maleficent|c}} to see that the Keyhole to Darkness has emerged. He calls onto the {{Wtext|Keyblade of People's Hearts|w}} and they hear that {{Wtext|The Beast|c}} is nearby. {{Wtext|Maleficent|c}} heads to go take care of the party while {{Wtext|Riku|c}} is put to guard the princesses.

Head straight to start a cutscene. She mocks your courage to defeat her, and so she starts a boss battle.

Boss:Maleficent (Dragon)=
After defeating {{Wtext|Maleficent|b}}, she will disappear into a portal of Darkness into another area. Save and head through the portal. Once you enter the next room, {{Wtext|Riku|c}} will stab {{Wtext|Maleficent|c}} with his {{Wtext|Keyblade|c}}, allowing her to unlock the true Darkness in her heart. As from this, she transforms into a colossal dragon.

Keep attacking her head, she will almost always shoot fire to set the ground alight, stay close to her head as that area won't be on fire. She may also call to green fireballs, you can deflect these back for 119 Tech EXP. She can also spin around and cause shock-waves that will deplete your HP. If you keep stuck to using {{Wtext|Aero|w}} for most of the battle you should be able to take her down.}}
</tabber>

After defeating {{Wtext|Dragon Maleficent|b}}, the thorns surrounding this area will dissipate in fire, and her cloak will be left flat on the ground. {{Wtext|Riku|b}} then rubs his foot in the cloak and disappears.  Head through the portal back to the {{Wtext|Castle Chapel|l}}. A new hidden route is opened beside the Save Point. Make sure to keep your party at high levels, otherwise this will be a tough end. Head to straight ahead to the {{Wtext|Grand Hall|l}}, the doors will open revealing the Princesses inside their chambers, head straight and up the stairs.

{{Wtext|Sora|c}} and {{Wtext|Donald|c}} reach the upper ground but {{Wtext|Goofy|c}} is knocked out as he attempts to enter as a force-field is present. {{Wtext|Sora|c}} spies {{Wtext|Kairi|c}} and runs up to her and picks her up, shaking her trying to wake her up. But it's no use as she's not got a heart. {{Wtext|Sora|c}} then reacts to {{Wtext|Kairi|c}}'s heart, which is inside him. {{Wtext|Riku|c}} then reveals himself to be {{Wtext|Ansem, Seeker of Darknes|c}}. While {{Wtext|Donald|c}} runs to attack {{Wtext|Ansem|c}}, he throws him out of the force-field, effectively knocking him out. He then raises his {{Wtext|Keyblade|w}} to release {{Wtext|Kairi|c}}'s heart from within {{Wtext|Sora|c}}. And now a boss battle ensues.

|prize={{Wtext|Ragnarok|w}}
|strategy=You'll be fighting this battle alone, during this fight, you must equip 3 {{Wtext|Hi-Potions|i}}, 2 {{Wtext|Ethers|i}} and 1 {{Wtext|Elixir|i}}. Cast {{Wtext|Aero|w}} and start eating away at his orange bar. Once it has gone to yellow, he will say "Welcome Oblivion!" and cast wheels of dark energy at you, you can dodge or deflect these, deflecting them earns you 34 Tech EXP. Once you have taken away his yellow bar and a little of his green bar he will start using {{Wtext|Dark Aura|w}} which is his most powerful attack. During the phase where he does multiple slashes, glide around for a while then when he lands and causes beams of light to erupt from the ground, dodge roll away from them. He will continuously attempt to slash at you, you must dodge roll away and attack in time before he can counterattack. Using {{Wtext|Ars Arcanum|w}} is helpful as it stifles his ability to counterattack.}}

After this battle, {{Wtext|Riku|c}} will disappear into Darkness, and {{Wtext|Donald|c}} and {{Wtext|Goofy|c}} will enter the room. {{Wtext|Sora|c}} will then attempt to seal the Keyhole, but while it is incomplete, he cannot. {{Wtext|Sora|c}} then spots the {{Wtext|Keyblade|w}} that {{Wtext|Riku|c}} was using and the stabs himself with it, despite the protests of his friends. This releases his heart along with {{Wtext|Kairi|c}}'s. The Keyhole will then be completed leaking out Darkness across all worlds, and the Hearts belonging to the other Princesses will return to their bodies.

{{Wtext|Kairi|c}}'s Heart returns to her body, and she wakes up but spots a fading {{Wtext|Sora|c}} and she runs up to him to catch him. Sadly, {{Wtext|Sora|c}} fades away before she could catch him. {{Wtext|Ansem|c}} then appears, and attempts to put an end to {{Wtext|Kairi|c}}, {{Wtext|Donald|c}} and {{Wtext|Goofy|c}}, but {{Wtext|Riku|c}} suddenly gains control of his body and tells the trio to run, in which they do, before {{Wtext|Ansem|c}} takes control of it again. A lone {{Wtext|Shadow|c}} will then appear and you'll gain control of it.

Now you must head to the {{Wtext|Entrance Hall|l}} however you go lower and lower and lower. If you go to the {{Wtext|Base Level|l}}, the switch will automatically take you to the {{Wtext|Castle Gates|l}}, from there head to the {{Wtext|Entrance Hall|l}}. 

Soon, a cutscene involving {{Wtext|Kairi|c}}, {{Wtext|Donald|c}} and {{Wtext|Goofy|c}} will be shown. {{Wtext|Donald|c}} spots the {{Wtext|Shadow|c}} and will then hit it on the head with his {{Wtext|Staff|w}}. {{Wtext|Kairi|c}}, however, suspects the {{Wtext|Shadow|c}} to be Sora. Suddenly, more {{Wtext|Shadow|e}}s will appear to attack the trio. {{Wtext|Kairi|c}} will then embrace the friendly {{Wtext|Shadow|c}}, restoring it to it's true form: {{Wtext|Sora|c}}.

With {{Wtext|Sora|c}} restored, the four will then leave {{Wtext|Hollow Bastion|l}}. {{Wtext|The Beast|c}}, however, refuses to leave, since {{Wtext|Belle|c}} is still inside. The party will be automatically taken back to {{Wtext|Traverse Town|l}}.

===Second Visit===
After heading here from {{Wtext|Traverse Town|l}}, once you land {{Wtext|Sora|c}}, {{Wtext|Donald|c}}, {{Wtext|Goofy|c}} and {{Wtext|The Beast|c}} will be in the {{Wtext|Rising Falls|l}}. {{Wtext|Sora|c}} will ask where {{Wtext|Belle|c}} is and to which {{Wtext|The Beast|c}} replies to as being inside the castle however she along with the rest of the princesses save for {{Wtext|Kairi|c}} for some reason. {{Wtext|The Beast|c}} also offers to help you as a party member once more. Now head all the way over to the platform with the arch, and use the {{Wtext|White Trinity|i}} to get a {{Wtext|chest|t}}, open it to get a {{Wtext|Firaga-G|i}}. Head to the {{Wtext|Entrance Hall|l}} and from there to the {{Wtext|Lift Stop|l}}. From there head all the way up to the {{Wtext|Castle Chapel|l}}. Once inside, talk to both groups of Princesses and then head to the {{Wtext|Grand Hall|l}}, go up the stairs and to the right there is a {{Wtext|chest|t}} containing a {{Wtext|Flare-G|i}}. Now head onto the ledge close by that leads further up to the chamber that would've held {{Wtext|Kairi|c}} and open the chest there to get {{Wtext|Oblivion|w}}, the Keyblade that signifies {{Wtext|Riku|c}}. Now jump down from the left side, if facing the Keyhole, and get the {{Wtext|chest|t}} containing Dalmatians 61, 62 and 63. Then head into the Keyhole, into the {{Wtext|Dark Depths|l}}, and be ready for a boss battle.

Use this method over and over and it will lead you to victory. Use {{Wtext|Cure|w}} and {{Wtext|Hi-Potions|i}} to heal.}}
