Walkthrough:Kingdom Hearts/Traverse Town

Traverse Town

You are introduced to Traverse Town after completing Destiny Islands, through its initial cutscene. Donald, Goofy and Pluto are shown walking into Traverse Town, they notice Destiny Islands's star going out in the night sky. They walk off to get to Leon. Pluto goes off and finds Sora. Sora notices he's in another World, he wonders about it and walks off to find Pluto. And now you're back in control...

First thing you'll want to do is go into the Accessory Shop and save, it is vital to save from now on. Once you're introduced to Cid, jump onto a cabinet near the door and open the Treasure Chest to get a Mythril Shard, it is pretty useless right now, but it will be useful later on in the game. Go back out and enter the Second District. You will witness somebody losing their heart to a Soldier, an Emblem Heartless. Now you have to fight a group of Shadows, they're easy now considering you've leveled up a bit now. As you can see, you now gain Munny, allowing you to purchase an abundance of items, armor and weapons. Walk over into the Gizmo Shop, and as you are going in Donald and Goofy would have just walked out of the Hotel wondering where Leon is. Next go into the Alleyway through the door near the fountain underneath the Hotel. Yet again, Donald and Goofy will exit the Hotel again to call out to Leon. Go back to the Second District and enter the Hotel. Donald and Goofy will have just walked back into the Second District, again. Now go back to the Second District and walk into the Dalmatians's House and Donald and Goofy will walk out of the Gizmo Shop. Now that we have made them walk around in circles, go back to the First District, you'll be surprised to find Heartless there as it is a haven for NPCs. Avoid the Heartless or battle them and then go to the Accessory Shop and talk to Cid, he'll give you a small tidbit of advice, leave after that.

Now a cutscene where you are introduced to this "Leon". Now a small battle with Leon, whether you win or lose you still continue through the game.

Next a few cutscenes together, first one is short and shows Yuffie cheering Leon for finding the Keyblade. Second shows Donald and Goofy walking through the Alleyway where Aerith appears to them, she seems to know the King too. Third shows Sora finally regaining consciousness and imagines Kairi talking to him, when it is really Yuffie. Now a long connected story between Sora, Leon, Yuffie and Donald, Goofy, Aerith. This explains the whole story behind Sora having the Keyblade. And finally, control again. First thing, Save. Next talk to Leon and he'll tell you that the Keyblade can do multiple things beside being used as a weapon. You can use it to open Treasure Chests all around the world, like this one on the table. Open it and you'll get an Elixir. Now go back and talk to Leon, you're asked if you're ready and if you are, you are in for a challenge. Soldiers appear. You're now placed in the Alleyway, you can defeat the Soldiers but its best not to because you need to find the biggest Heartless, as per Leon's words.

Now, you can either rush your way to the Third District, or you can take your time and battle a number of Heartless to level up. We'd suggest the latter, so as to be ready and prepared for a significantly difficult boss, at least for now. Once you're ready to go against the boss of this world, enter the Third District. While we suggest you wait until you get Scan, it will take an awfully long time so you're probably better off fighting it without Scan.

Now a cutscene plays, that is essentially the prelude to the boss battle. Donald and Goofy are on a balcony above Sora, there is an explosion above throwing Donald and Goofy to Sora. However once they find out that Sora wields the Keyblade, the area is sealed off. Now you have to defeat the numerous Soldiers to make the Guard Armor appear.

	Torso: 700 HP, Gauntlets: 84 HP, Hammerlegs: 196 HP	Torso: 8, Gauntlets: 11, Hammerlegs: 11	Torso: 8, Gauntlets: 10, Hammerlegs: 10

First thing you want to do is get rid of its hands. They will only do harm if you leave them last because they are hard to dodge. While with the feet, you can easily jump once they're about to strike. To get rid of them, attack and then get out of the way once they take position to attack. If you get hit, use one of your Hi-Potions. Once they're gone, get rid of the feet as they are the next lethal thing besides the hands. They're easy to get rid of since button mashing will automatically reflect back their attacks. Again, once they're done, redirect all attack power towards the Torso, once it's defeated you are done. It should be easy considering you keep pressing Attack.

The Guard Armor finally loses control and its Heart disappears into the sky. You get Brave Warrior for your battle efforts. Next a cutscene where Sora, Donald and Goofy team up to find Riku, Kairi and the King. And the proceeding cutscene shows Maleficent and her gang of Disney villains planning on how to get Sora closer to them and initially plan on using Riku. And finally, the last cutscene of Traverse Town, you are given 100 Munny from the whole Final Fantasy gang, you also get Fire from Donald and Goofy gives you the Dodge Roll ability, which is pretty handy. Go back to the Accessory Shop and save. Then when you're ready, go out and make your way to Wonderland. Unless you'd prefer Olympus Coliseum.
