The Leviathan (リヴァイアサン Rivaiasan?) is a pirate ship that appears in Kingdom Hearts III, serving as the main mode of transportation in The Caribbean.

Story

Kingdom Hearts III

While fighting the Raging Vulture, Sora, Donald, and Goofy are knocked off of the Black Pearl and end up marooned on an island, where they, with help from a Jack Sparrow clone created by Calypso, come across the Leviathan and use it to escape.

The Leviathan is also used by them to combat the Flying Dutchman and Kraken during the climactic battle at the maelstrom.

Gameplay

Piloting the Leviathan involves a different set of gameplay than normal. Sora can fire the cannons with X or R2, summon a barrier with Square, or after reaching level 3 use Surge to perform a charging attack with Circle. He can also build up three Situation Commands while in combat: Raging Cannons (レイジングキャノン Reijingu Kyanon?), which fires a barrage of cannons; Wind Chasers (ウィンドラッシュ Windo Rasshu?, lit. "Wind Rush"), which summons a cluster of winds that home in on the enemy, and Tidal Wave (タイダルウェイブ Taidaru Weibu?), which has the ship jump up before crashing down on the enemy. When not in combat, Sora can disembark from the ship with L2.

The Leviathan can be leveled up by collecting white Crabs around The Caribbean. By leveling up, the Leviathan gets more HP, firepower, and cannons. At level 3, the Surge command is unlocked. Level 9 is the maximum level for the Leviathan. To achieve its maximum level, the player must collect a total of 1700 crabs.
