When you first begin the game on Destiny Islands, Sora wakes up on the beach, where he and Kairi talk. Sora tells Kairi about the dream he had, after which you are introduced to Riku, Sora's rival and friend. Speak to Kairi (who's by the doorway located on the other end of the area) once gameplay resumes, and she will tell you to get the following items:

• Two Logs
• One Cloth
• One Rope

All of these can be obtained in this section of the island. One of the logs can be obtained from the shore underneath the bridge. You can get the second log from the island across; use the bridge to get to it. You can find the Rope on the platform on the west end of this side of the island. Lastly, the cloth can be obtained from the tree-house in the middle of this side of the island.

Once you have collected each of the items on -.

The final mushroom is in the Secret Place, but once you obtain it, a cutscene plays showing Sora finishing the Paopu Fruit drawing he started when he was four. When Sora stands, he finds a mysterious cloaked figure standing behind him who speaks of the world being "tied to the darkness" and how it is "soon to be completely eclipsed." The figure insults Sora's intelligence, vanishing as gameplay resumes. Exit the Secret Place and collect the Drinking Water by walking under the waterfall to the left. Now that you have collected all the items, seize the opportunity to duel Tidus, Selphie, and Wakka or race Riku again and return to Kairi. Speak to her to obtain another Hi-Potion, and locate the hidden Treasure Chest in the Cove, which is located near the wooden tower. Pick up one of the nearby wooden crates and throw it against the wall with a hole in it. Climb up into the hole and open the chest to receive a Protect Chain.

Once this is complete, return to Kairi and choose to "go home" to begin a cutscene in which Sora listens to Kairi speak of how Riku has changed and how much she can't wait to set sail. Soon after, another cutscene shows the text of the letter Donald previously discovered. Donald and Goofy leave Disney Castle along with Jiminy Cricket after speaking with Minnie and Daisy, determined to find the one possessing the "key" as King Mickey had directed in his letter. Sora is then seen in his room on Destiny Islands, and he suddenly notices a strange storm off in the distance. Sora leaves to investigate, and just when he discovers Riku and Kairi's boats, mysterious black creatures with glowing yellow eyes spawn nearby.

These enemies, called Heartless (the variants spawning in each area are specifically known as Shadows), are immune to physical damage from Sora's wooden sword, so ignore them and run to the bent Paopu tree, where you will find Riku. After another cutscene, Riku vanishes into the darkness and Sora gains a mysterious new weapon known as the Keyblade. You can now attack the Shadows to your heart's content. The Heartless will continue to appear no matter where you go, so this is an excellent opportunity to gain some much-needed experience. Make your way into the Secret Place, where you will find Kairi and the door inside will open, propelling both of you out of the cave and directly into a battle against another Darkside.

Darkside
	HP	STR	DEF	MP R	EXP
	300 HP	6	6	0	60
	Resistances	Weapon	Fire	Blizzard	Thunder
		x1.0	x0.49	x0.5	x1.0
		Gravity	Stop	KO	Other
		x0.04	x0	x0.5	x0.5
	Rewards	N/A
Once you enter battle, keep attacking the Darkside's hands. The boss will instantly use its projectile attack, so be sure to avoid the energy beams it fires as they home in on your location. The only other attack in the Darkside's arsenal is a powerful downward punch that spawns a pool of darkness, but also fortunately leaves its fist wide open for attack. While you don't necessarily have to worry about your HP during this battle, you can always use a Potion if it drops to critical status. Simply continue attacking the Darkside, and it will go down in no time.

After the Darkside is defeated, both Sora and the Darkside will be sucked in by a vortex of darkness. Sora will then wake up on a place he has never seen before.
