You'll be given a quick tutorial about switching party members (unless you have visited Beast's Castle first), though at this point, Ping cannot be swapped out. You'll also encounter a Moogle Shop. Every time you see one of these, be sure to talk to the Moogle and visit the "Synthesis" section. The Moogle will take note on how many Materials you have gathered and will give you prizes every time a quota is filled. Now, walk down the path and you'll reach a camp. Walk to the line of soldiers, and a cutscene will begin, which will introduce you to {{Wtext|Yao|c}}, {{Wtext|Ling|c}}, {{Wtext|Chien Po|c}} and {{Wtext|Captain Li Shang|c}}. During the cutscene, a group of Heartless will attack the camp. You must fight them, but don't let the Morale Gauge on the top left corner of the screne run out, otherwise it's game over. The gauge will go down everytime Ping is attacked.

After the battle, the Captain will allow Sora, Donald and Goofy into his army, but will turn down Ping. Sora asks the captain to give Ping another chance, in which he accepts. Now you must do three missions:

After clearing all three missions, you'll obtain an [[AP Boost]]. The Captain now wants you to clear a path on the '''Mountain Trail'''. The trail can be found at the rocky exit at the '''Checkpoint'''. Once you reach the path, you'll enter a short cutscene with {{Wtext|Hayabusa|c}} flying over the party. Now, you must clear a path by using Rockshatter reaction command on each group of rocks along the path before the Morale Gauge runs out. How the bar goes down is a suprise, meaning either time or being attacked by Heartless can knock it down. If it's the former, once it's low, attack the Heartless and collect some orbs to replenish the gauge. If it's the latter, avoid being hit at all costs.

After completing this mission, Yao, Ling and Chien Po will be impressed by Ping, and the Captain will finally allow him to join the army, despite still not being impressed. In the village, Mushu will claim that he saw {{Wtext|Shan-Yu|c}} walk into a nearby cave. The village will have a Moogle Shop and a save point, so save the game and check the Moogle Store to replenish supplies and hand in Materials. After that, go into the cave and walk to the end. However, you'll soon realize that it's empty. Suddenly, Shan-Yu will send in a horde of Shadows and Assault Riders to attack Sora and Ping. Because Donald and Goofy are sealed out of the battle, neither one of them will be active in the battle.

Because {{Wtext|Donald|c}} and {{Wtext|Goofy|c}} are sealed out of the battle, neither one of them will be active in the battle.


After the battle, Sora will obtain [[Slide Dash]], Ping will gain five more HP along with [[Hyper Healing]], and Donald and Goofy will rejoin the party. Once you exit the cave, you'll see that the village is in ruins, and Captain Shang is injured. Shan-Yu and his horde of Heartless have headed towards the '''Summit'''. Head through the mountains and you'll encounter Shan-Yu on top of the summit with a whole bunch of {{Wtext|Rapid Thuster|e}}s. Now, you'll have to fight the Rapid Thusters along with some {{Wtext|Bolt Tower|e}}s. The battle is limited to a minute, and you don't have to beat them all.
The {{Wtext|Shadows|e}} are numbered, and can get close to {{Wtext|Sora|c}} in little time; since {{Wtext|Fire|a}} will circle him, use it to take them out quickly. {{Wtext|Blizzard|a}} should work well with the {{Wtext|Assault Riders|e}}. At first, there will only be one {{Wtext|Assault Rider|e}}, but once that (and the {{Wtext|Shadows|e}}) are taken out, two more will appear. Make sure that you have at least one {{Wtext|Potion|i}}, as the {{Wtext|Assault Riders|e}} can really cut Sora's HP.


After the battle, Yao will bring in a rocket cannon and plans to shoot Shan-Yu with it. Ping, however, has a different idea. He snatched the rocket and using Mushu, he lights up the rocket, sending it (with Mushu still on it) towards the mountain, causing an avalanche. This sends Shan-Yu off the cliff to his assumed death, and just after the Captain congratulates Ping for finishing off Shan-Yu, Mushu pops out of the snow (revealing that he survived) and blows Ping's secret: He is really a she, and her real name is Mulan.

The battle is limited to a minute, and you don't have to beat them all. {{Wtext|Sora|c}} fights alone in this battle.


Furious, the Captain expels Mulan from the army, and does the same to Sora, Donald and Goofy (who knew the truth), rather than execute them. Because her secret has been exposed, Mulan takes her armor off and decided to go home. At this point, the game will say "Ping has gone back to being Mulan. Mulan learned a new ability". From now on, Mulan will use her real name in gameplay stats. Her limit is now unlocked, and can be used in battle. Just before you regain control of the party, tutorials will appear to tell you about limits (unless you have already been to Beast's Castle).

Go down the mountains, and a cutscene will begin, in which it's revealed that Shan-Yu had survived the avalanche. Now, your main objective is to return to the '''Checkpoint''' and reach the palace. Don't forget to save at the '''Village'''.

After that, get yourself ready for the boss battle with {{Wtext|Shan-Yu|b}}.

These Heartless, which are just a bunch of {{Wtext|Nightwalkers|e}} and {{Wtext|Bolt Towers|e}}, are actually quite easy to deal with.

The Land of Dragons
[edit]

First Visit[edit]

This is one of the first Disney worlds in the game. Upon landing, a cutscene will begin involving your old ally, Mushu, along with a young man named Ping. After this humorous cutscene, Ping will join the party.

Ping cannot be swapped out at this point. You'll also encounter a Moogle Shop. Every time you see one of these, be sure to talk to the Moogle and visit the "Synthesis" section. The Moogle will take note on how many Materials you have gathered and will give you prizes every time a quota is filled. Now, walk down the path and you'll reach a camp. Walk to the line of soldiers, and a cutscene will begin, which will introduce you to Yao, Ling, Chien Po and Captain Li Shang. During the cutscene, a group of Heartless will attack the camp. You must fight them, but don't let the Morale Gauge on the top left corner of the screne run out, otherwise it's game over. The gauge will go down everytime Ping is attacked.

After the battle, the Captain will allow Sora, Donald and Goofy into his army, but will turn down Ping. Sora asks the captain to give Ping another chance, in which he accepts. Now you must do three missions:

  • The Surprise Attack

Description: A strange figure was seen at the Checkpoint! Head there quickly and defeat the enemy!
Defeat 15 Heartless before the Morale Gauge runs out. The bar is connected to a timer.

  • The Ambush

Description: A mob is heading for the Checkpoint. Stop them while keeping an eye out for strange enemies!
Defeat all the Heartless at the Checkpoint without letting the Morale Gauge runs out. It will only drop if Sora is hit by the Assault Riders.

  • The Search

Description: It seems the enemy has invaded the camp. Defeat every enemy you encounter!
Defeat all eight Heartless before the Morale Gauge runs out. The bar is connected to a timer. Use Fire on the tents to spawn out the hidden Heartless.

After clearing The Search, you'll obtain an AP Boost-->

  • Boss: Shan-Yu and Hayabusa

In the first stages of the battle, Shan-Yu will continue to send some Nightwalkers towards the door; the gauge will go down if the door is attacked, so keep collecting the orbs that are dropped. If the gauge becomes empty, it's game over. Shan-Yu's attacks are mostly focused on Sora, so make sure you have at least one Potion on hand. Sometimes, Shan-Yu's attacks will collide with Sora; if this happens, keep pressing Triangle to perform the reaction command "Press"; if sucessful, press Triangle again to perform "Takedown".

Later in battle, when Shan-Yu has only half of his HP left, he'll begin to use a dark sweep across the field. He will always aim at Sora, so watch out. Jump to dodge, or use Guard to enter another collision.

After you defeat Shan-Yu, Sora will get five more HP, and an Aerial Sweep ability. Donald will get 4 more HP, Goofy will get Goofy Turbo ability and Mulan will get twenty more HP. Shan-Yu's sword is revealed to be the item that unlocks the Gate to the next world. Sora then obtains the Hidden Dragon Keychain.

If The Land of Dragons is the first world completed, the route to Olympus Coliseum will be unlocked, and you can enter either Beast's Castle or Olympus Coliseum (after completing the routes on the Gummi Ship for each). If this was the second world completed, and you have not exited this world or Beast's Castle during each trip, you will be automatically taken to Hollow Bastion. If this is the third world completed, Disney Castle is unlocked.

Second Visit[edit]

Once you have completed the Battle of the 1,000 Heartless, a new storyline here is unlocked.

Sora and co visit the town ruins, where they encounter what appears to be a member of Organization XIII. Mulan appears and explains that she is also following him. The party decide to go together, and Mulan rejoins.

According to Mulan, there is a rumor that a spy in black is wondering the mountains. Suddenly a whored of Rapid Thrusters appear and attack the four. Sora spots the man in black, and fights him.

The man escapes, but he seems to wield a familiar weapon. After the cutscene, your party rejoins you. Head to the next area to trigger a cutscene, where you encounter the Storm Rider.
