The '''Chamber of Repose''' and the '''Chamber of Waking''' are mysterious rooms that seem to hold some great importance to [[Xemnas]], due to their connections to his past. Xemnas often sits in the Chamber of Repose in order to regain memories of his past as [[Terra]] and [[Master Xehanort]], and seeks the Chamber of Waking in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]''.


In a recent trailer for ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'', [[Ventus]] is seen sitting unconsciously in a chamber that is extremely similar to the the Chambers of Repose and Waking.

After the apprentices banished Ansem and became [[Nobody|Nobodies]], they constructed the Chamber of Repose within Radiant Garden's castle. [[Xemnas]] would frequently travel to the room, as if something within it reminded him of his forgotten past.

Xemnas used this chamber to communicate with [[Aqua]] as [[Terra-Xehanort]] in the [[Realm of Darkness]] and learned she had hidden Ventus in the [[Chamber of Waking]]. As a result, he relentlessly sent [[Axel]] to Castle Oblivion to find the Chamber of Waking to no avail.

The Chamber of Waking is supposed to contain Xemnas's other "friend", who is suspected to be [[Ventus|Ven]]. This room is said to be found in [[Castle Oblivion]].

The Chamber of Repose and the Chamber of Waking are mysterious rooms that seem to hold some great importance to Xemnas, due to their connections to his past. Xemnas often sits in the Chamber of Repose in order to regain memories of his past as Terra and Master Xehanort, and seeks the Chamber of Waking in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days and Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix.

Story[edit]

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep[edit]

Following Ventus entering a coma-like state, Aqua transforms the Land of Departure into Castle Oblivion. The throne room of the Land of Departure becomes a chamber that looks very similar to the Chamber of Repose, only instead of Nobody sigils, the room is adorned with Terra's Mark, and the room is noticeably brighter. There is a single, tall throne in the center, where Aqua lays the comatose Ventus.

Between Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep & Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days[edit]

Aqua's armor in the Chamber of Repose.

After the apprentices banished Ansem the Wise, but before they became Nobodies, the apprentices created the Chamber of Repose within the Radiant Garden's castle. Xemnas would frequently travel to the room, as if something within it reminded him of his forgotten past.

To enter the chamber, Xemnas would visit Ansem's computer room, insert a data disk into the machine, and type in the password "Another", after which he would type in six more passwords: the original names of the six apprentices.

This would cause a passage to appear below the Heartless Manufactory, which has a long stairway spiraling down to a long hall. Inside this hall are doors electronically locked and bound with chains. At the end of the hall is a room containing a throne for Xemnas to sit on, as well as Aqua's Stormfall and Keyblade Armor. Xemnas would speak to the armor, addressing it as a "friend".
