Walkthrough:Kingdom Hearts II/Hollow Bastion

First Visit

Hollow Bastion will serve as your homebase in this game. When you first appear Sora, Donald and Goofy will run up to a stone wall and will regonise this place as Hollow Bastion, with Goofy comenting on that this world is different, somehow. He'll then spot some Soldiers on the rooftops of the shops, and will comment that they might have to do some fighting.

Once you regain control of the party, head down the stairs and you'll notice some shops, along with a Moogle shop, which can be used to cash in your Synthises items. You should also speak with Scrooge McDuck, who is trying to remember an ice cream flavour, but is having trouble with it. Goofy also reveals to Sora that Scrooge is Donald's uncle, and that he is very rich.

Second Visit

You will be automatically taken to this world after visiting any two of the following three worlds: The Land of Dragons, Beast's Castle, Olympus Coliseum. You cannot leave this world at all during this trip.

Turns out that Merlin summoned us over for a suprise: he found the 100 Acre Wood's book in the Zero District and, knowing that Sora is good friends with Winnie the Pooh, decided to summon the party over to break the news. However, Merlin soon heads off to find Leon and the others. Sora decides to go into the book and see how Pooh is doing.

Gameplay resumes. The door outside is locked, and the save point will not let you leave this world. To go further in with the story, talk to Donald, and enter the book...

Sora had been chucked out of the 100 Acre Wood after Pooh suddenly froze in midair. Turns out that Donald used his magic to summon him, due to the Heartless threat. Sora then ran outside, leaving the book to be stolen by three Soldiers.

In this battle, just attack like normal. Use Fire if the Heartless get close to Sora.

Sora then wonders if the book is okay. Goofy suggested that Sora return inside to check on Pooh. You'll be automatically returned to the 100 Acre Wood.

As it turns out, the Heartless tore out some pages, affecting Pooh's memories, explaining why he cannot remember Sora or Piglet or any of his other friends. The party agree to keep this a secrect with Merlin for now. Just before you leave, Merlin will grant Sora with the power to Summon allies in battle, like with Mushu and Simba last time. Your first summonable ally will be Chicken Little.

After the cutscene ends, a brief tutorial will show you where you can summon, and how. You'll then automatically leave Hollow Bastion.

Third Visit

You'll be required to visit this world to further advance with Disney Castle. Upon landing, a cutscene will begin. Something is wrong in the castle, and Goofy sugests that they get Merlin to help. Merlin appears, and when he asks if the party has learned anything since the last visit, Donald explains that the castle is in danger, and Queen Minnie needs his help. During this cutscene, you'll be automatically taken back to Disney Castle (via Merlin's magic)
