Editing Walkthrough:Kingdom Hearts II/Beast's Castle

===First Visit===

{{Wtext|Beast's Castle|l}} is one of the many Disney worlds in the game. Upon landing, the party wonders who lives in the castle. Suddenly, they hear a loud roar. {{Wtext|Goofy|c}} recognizes the roar belongs to the {{Wtext|Beast|c}}, and so does {{Wtext|Sora|c}}. They suddenly spot a {{Wtext|Shadow|e}} Heartless enter a room on the right. They follow it into the room, which also contains a rose. Suddenly, a Shadow comes out of the ground, and more follows, starting a battle with multiple Shadows.

In the middle of the battle, {{Wtext|Beast|c}} comes in and uses his claws to take down the remaining Shadows. However, he pays no attention to {{Wtext|Sora|c}} and his friends for some reason, even whacking them out of the way to get the {{Wtext|rose|i}} and walks out of the room like nothing happened. You now regain control of the party. The room you are in contains a save point and a Moogle Shop. Save the game, and walk out of the room. {{Wtext|Donald|c}} will then mention that he saw a lady at the top of the stairs. {{Wtext|Goofy|c}} implies that if the {{Wtext|Beast|c}} is here, then the lady must be {{Wtext|Belle|c}}.

A brief scene will show {{Wtext|Sora|c}} pushing the {{Wtext|Wardrobe|c}} out of the way, revealing the entrance. However, the {{Wtext|Wardrobe|c}} suddenly wakes up, jumps back to where she was, and resumes sleeping. And now you have to play a minigame. The main objective is to carefully push the Wardrobe away from the door using the "Push" reaction command. Don't press {{button|t}} when she's awake, as the command will change to "Waken"; if she catches you pushing her, and she'll jump back in front of the door. After completing this, she'll apologize for the trouble, and will mention that she was once a human, and so was the {{Wtext|Beast|c}}. Only, the {{Wtext|Beast|c}} wasn't just a regular human, he was a prince of the castle. She won't mention any more stuff. Enter the {{Wtext|Undercroft|l}} and prepare for a boss fight.

<!--Use this space for the Possessor & Thresholder battle--><!--

Attack the {{Wtext|Thresholder|b}} with meel attacks; don't bother use magic on the Gargoyle Heartless that attack you, as the first round are immune to magic. The {{Wtext|Thresholder|b}} twins will sometimes smack the floor with their arms, so watch out. Sometimes, they might even send you towards the upper floor with an unknown gust. Once the HP is out, press {{button|triangle}} to perform the reaction command "Release"; it will release the {{Wtext|Possessor|b}}. Attack the {{Wtext|Possessor|b}} until it losses half of it's HP. After that, it will re-posses the door, reviving the {{Wtext|Thresholder|b}}.

<br>

Battle's the same as before, but now the {{Wtext|Thresholder|b}} will continue to send Dark Aura towards the party. Just do what you did before to release the {{Wtext|Possessor|b}}, then defeat the flying spirit to end this battle. Once the battle is finished, {{Wtext|Sora|c}} will learn {{Wtext|Upper Slash|a}}, {{Wtext|Donald|c}} will learn {{Wtext|Donald Fire|a}} and {{Wtext|Goofy|c}} will aquire more HP.

*'''Boss:''' Dark Thorn

This boss battle would be relatively easy if it wasn't directly after the Shadow Stalker (giving no time to save and recover in between). This battle requires noticeably less strategy than the Shadow Stalker and is more of a straightforward assault.

   

Despite the fact that it turns invisible, it is still able to be targeted - this being a boon to players during the battle. However, it is more agile when invisible and the fight becomes much easier when the invisibility is lost following the use of the Stepvault Reaction Command, during which Sora will jump onto the chandelier, and, following another command, lower the chandelier and swing it about in circles, hitting the Dark Thorn and rendering it visible. Following this somewhat-dramatic assault, the battle becomes considerably easier, as the boss moves more slowly. The Dark Thorn is also able to summon Possessors to attack Sora.

Sora  = HP+, Retaliating Slash

Donald = HP+

Goofy  = Item Slot+

Upon defeating the {{Wtext|Dark Thorn|b}}, you'll obtain {{Wtext|Cure|a}}, a very useful spell. If {{Wtext|Beast's Castle|l}} is the first place you have visited, then {{Wtext|Olympus Coliseum|l}} will be unlocked. If it's the second, and you did not leave it or {{Wtext|The Land of Dragons|l}} at all during the storyline, you will be automatically taken to {{Wtext|Hollow Bastion|l}}. If it's the third, then {{Wtext|Disney Castle|l}} is unlocked.

Beast  = HP+
