Sora's Ultima Weapon 
Sora's Ultima Weapon is obtained through item synthesis. Once you have obtained seven
Orichalcum+s and the other ingredients, you will be able to synthesize it if you have an
Energy Crystal. Note: You must be at least a level 2 Moogle to use energy items (for
example, shards, stones, gems, and crystals). The items required are as follows:

Ultimate Recipe

Go to the mansion in Twilight Town. This is towards the end of the game when you go with
Sora. Once the machine is up and running to go to Roxas's Twilight Town, do not enter it.
Instead, go through the other room where you went to fight Axel with Roxas at the start of
the game. Then, go into the next room with the hallway with the pods where Goofy and
Donald were found. There are a few chests in there; the Ultimate Recipe is the in the
chest next to Donald and Goofy's pod.

Seven Orichalcum+

1. Clear Atlantica.

2. Clear 100 Acre Wood.

3. Find the chest in The World That Never Was at the Brink Of Despair just before you go
into the castle. There will be a big chest next to the save point. This is not the
Orichalcum+. Turn around at this location and follow the short path across from the save
point with the Orichalcum+ chest.

4. Clear Goddess Of Fate Cup in the Underworld Coliseum.

5. Chest in Twilight Town, in Sunset Terrace where you went earlier in the game for the
Seven Wonders. Jump on top of the train and you will see a chest on the roof of the big
building (the one closest to to the sunset station).

6. Chest in Space Paranoids during the second visit there, just before you fight Commander
Sark and the MCP.

7. Collect all Material in the game and give it to the Synthesis Moogle. He will give you
an Orichalcum+. You need every single Material (shards, stones, gems, and crystals,
including a regular Orichalcum).

Other ingredients

Energy Crystal: Required to halve the amount of Orichalcum+s you need. Dropped by
Bookmasters in Radiant Gardens (Hollow Bastion) near Merlin's house. These are the
characters that float with green hats and books.

Twilight and Dense Crystals: Nobodies on Naught's Skyway. Go to naught's skyway just after
the Hall Of Empty Melodies. Fight the Nobodies there and they will drop Twilight and Dense
items.

Materials.

Mythril Crystals: Found in random item chests.

Gummi Ship bonuses 

Berserk mode: Reach Metal Level 30.

all your party members, then kill the Shamans until you get the Shaman's Relic.

Goofy's enemy items 
Akashic Record: Kill the book-wielding Heartless in Radiant Garden (Hollow Bastion) until
you get the Akashic Record.

Heartless Shield: Go to Port Royal and kill all the enemies until you get the Heartless
Shield.

Nobody Guard: Find and kill the Gambling Nobodies until you get the Nobody Guard. Note:
This may take some time.

Fenrir weapon 
To get the most powerful weapon in the game, you must defeat Sephiroth. He is very
difficult because he has fifteen health bars and is very strong. To fight him, go to
Radiant Garden/Hollow Bastion at The Dark Depth area (beyond the area where you must
defeat 1,000 Heartless). You can only fight with him after you defeat the MCP (Space
Paranoids). Once you defeat him, you must talk to Cloud (you can see him at Market Place
Of Radiant Garden/Hollow Bastion). Then, talk with Sephiroth again. After that, you will
get Fenril, which as a 7 Atk and 1 Mag.

Fatal Crest Keyblade 
Successfully complete The Goddess Of Fate Cup in the Underworld to unlock the Fatal Crest
Keyblade.

Summon Mickey 
Successfully complete everything in the game, then go to Timeless River. Go into the newly
created door on the left. Help Mickey fight some Heartless and after the fight he will
give you the King's Charm. It costs four bar of Guard.

Revive character 
If you die against certain bosses you can revive yourself as Mickey with the command
"I won't give up" (for example, against the Shadow Stalker and Dark Thorn Bosses
in Beast's Castle and Xaldin when you return to Beast's Castle). Mickey is better than
Sora and has stronger attacks. If you cannot defeat the Boss with Mickey you must revive
Sora and his party.

Refill health 
When you have low health and no magic or potions, but a full Drive gauge, turn into any
Form and you will have full health.

Refill magic 
In Cave Of The Dead: Entrance (Olympic Coliseum), clear out all the Heartless/Nobodies.
Then, use Magnet and all the floating white balls will explode, emitting magic. This is a
quick and easy way to restore all of your magic.

Refill Drive gauge 
If your Drive gauge is almost empty while in your transformed state, quickly go to a save
point and go to Gummi Ship. Then, go to any world desired. When you are in the world
selected your Drive gauge will be full.

To fully refill your Drive gauge, go to the Underworld and replay the first round of the
Cerberus Cup (not Paradox). Then, quit the round. You do not have to do any fighting and
your Drive should be at maximum when you return to the entrance.

Easy experience 
Go to the Pride Lands level and equip the Experience Boost ability and Gullwings Keyblade.
Take off all healing abilities from your allies and get in a critical condition. Go to the
Peak of King's Den and use Magnega to kill off a group of the enemies there. You will gain
30,000 experience points for defeating them. Once you defeat all of them, go back in, exit
out, then defeat them again. Repeat this as many times as desired.

Go to the Pride Lands level after completing it a second time. Go the area where you
defeated Scar to find a lot of Rapid Thrusters. If you defeat all of them, you will get
12,656 experience points. You can repeat this battle by going to the Stone Hollow then
going back to the Peak. There are 226 Rapid Thrusters.

When you summon, your Drive gauge becomes the Summon gauge. Go to the Underworld entrance
and make sure you have a full Drive gauge, then summon anything, such as Chicken Little.
Since you get 1 experience point for every 1 point of Summon gauge used, you can get
experience by just letting your game remain idle. As long as your summon is out, you will
gain experience until the Summon gauge runs out. When you start out, you only need 6
points to get to Summon Level 2. Summon, then just remain idle at the Underworld entrance
until the gauge runs out, then repeat the process. Once your Drive gauge runs out, enter a
tournament and quit it. You will exit with a full Drive gauge, then repeat the process. At
6 Drive Gauge points you can get from Level 1 summon to Level 7 (the maximum) in about one
hour.

This trick requires the Gullwing Keyblade and the Experience Boost ability. After
completing Pride Rock, equip the Gullwing Keyblade. When your life is critical you will
get more experience with it. Equip the Experience Boost ability and make sure Donald's and
Simba's healing abilities are off. Go through the King's Den and go up to the peak. You
will see a number of little yellow flying Heartless. Do not attack them yet. Allow them
attack you until your life gets to a critical level. After that, start killing them. Once
they are all dead, go back to the King's Den, heal, then repeat as much as desired.

When the Heartless attack The Destiny Islands, stay there and kill them. They only give 1
experience point, but they are easy to defeat.

Easy gold 
Go to the Mansion in Twilight Town and have your characters set on Sora Attack, then go
into the large open room. Make the Gamblers appear, but do not kill them. Instead, keep
playing their card game action command. Have both of them out at the same time and your
characters equipped with the abilities to make more gold fall and more items drop to get
up to 500 gold per game, and even the Nobody Defense shield for Goofy. Since this does not
kill the Gambler, it can be done repeatedly. Wait for the Xs and Os to slow down to get an
easy win.

Easy Twilight, Dense, and Serenity materials 
An easy way to get Serenity, Dense, and Twilight materials (which help you get the Ultima
Weapon, Save The Queen, and Save The King) is to go to The World That Never Was and enter
the organization's castle. Equip your party with Lucky, Lucky and Sora The Gullwing to
increase the drop rate of items. Fight any Nobodies there and they will drop either a
Serenity, Dense, or Twilight material.

Final Form 
Enter the Cerberus Cup, which starts you off with a full Drive gauge. Since the Final Form
appears randomly when you use a Form, this is the best place to get it. Just start the
tournament and use the Master Form. If you do not turn into the Final Form, just press
Start and select "Retry". You will restart the tournament with a full Drive
gauge. Then, just use the Form again, retry, and keep repeating until you get the Final
Form. The Final Form appears randomly, so be patient. You can also get the Final Form
without fighting Nobodies. -From: zer0sfx

After the intermission sequence where Sora faces off against a member of Organization XIII
in The World That Never Was, you can unlock the Final Form. Like the Anti-Form, this drive
appears randomly during a battle. However, after you have used it once you can use it
whenever desired. A good way to do this is to go to Olympus Coliseum and enter the
Cerberus Cup. By doing this you can use your Drive gauge to transform, and if you do not
get it immediately you can press Start and select "Retry". Repeat this until you
get the Final Form. Additionally, use the following trick to unlock the Final Form or
Anti-Form. Instead of completing the game, fill your Drive up and go back downstairs.
Drive into Master Form and let the Nobody with the red blocks hit you until you are about
to lose the Form. Retreat back up the stairs to use the Form cheat, then go back down and
repeat the process until you land a Final Form drive. At that point, return to the stairs
and save the game. Note: Low health or Drive abuse does not increase your chance of an
Anti-Form drive.

To unlock the Final Form, when you are fighting the Nobody in Organization XIII use the
Master Form transformation. If Sora transforms into a silver and black suit with both
Keyblades floating behind him, immediately revert back to his original state. When this is
done, check your Drive Forms and Final Form will be available.

Go to The World That Never Was at the save point just before the door to Kingdom Hearts.
It seems that getting hit by a Nobody increases your chances even more than hitting them.
The number of hits raises the chances dramatically when in a combo. Like the Combo Boost
lands a critical at the final hit of a combo based on the number of hits in a combo, the
chances raise even more while the combo the Nobody/Heartless does is both long and
completed. The red block Nobody has a huge combo and always lands the final blow. You have
a very good chance of unlocking the Final Form using those Nobodies. One of those Nobodies
is near the last save point, which is a separation map (zoning to that map utilizes the
Drive cheat). It is the best place to level the Final Form, because finding Nobodies in
abundance is difficult at the end of the game. Especially since the Final Form uses up the
Drive gauge very quickly.

Leveling up Final Form 
Leveling up the Final Form is based on the number of Nobodies destroyed. This is easy to
do at Yen-Sid's tower in Twilight Town, accessed by the blue train at the station.
Remember to do this near a save point. Whenever you are in a Drive mode you can exit to
the world map and land in the same location. This will restore the Drive gauge to maximum.

To level up the Final Form, go to Twilight Town and enter through the Tower area where
Master Yen Sid presides. Go outside and defeat as many Nobodies as possible. Then, return
to the save point, exit the world, and repeat.

To level up the Final Form, go to The World That Never Was and land at the Proof Of
Existence room. Then, go up the stairs directly ahead of the save point to get to Naught's
Approach. When the Nobodies appear, change into the Final Form and start attacking. If
your Drive Gauge goes to one, go back into the Proof Of Existence room then go to the
world map from the save point.

To level up the Final Form, go to Twilight View in The World That Never Was. Go into the
room with the snipers (walk up the stairs) and change into the Final Form. Kill the
snipers and go into the next room forward. Kill as many enemies as possible. When the
Drive gauge is about to run out, go back to Twilight View and exit the world. Then, enter
the world again. This will level up the Final Form and normal Form very fast. The normal
Form gets all the actual experience and the Final Form gets all the experience for killing
Nobodies.

To easily level up the Final Form, go to The World That Never Was. Go to either Proof Of
Existence or Twilight's View. Go to Naughts Skyway and go to the section where there are
many Creepers. Wait until there are quite a few of them. Then, use the Final Form and just
keep attacking. You should be able to destroy 15 to 45 Nobodies.

Leveling up Master Form 
Leveling up the Master Form is based on collecting Drive Orbs. The best place to do this
is in The Land Of Dragons.

To level up the Master Form, go to the Land Of The Dragons throne room, then go out the
door and switch to your Master Form. Kill all the Heartless there and the Drive Orbs
should give you about 75 experience points for Master Form. To kill the enemies in the
hallway faster, use your Thunder magic. When all the enemies are dead, run back to the
save point before your Drive gauge reaches zero. Then, go to the world map and repeat the
process.

To level up the Master Form, go to the Land Of The Dragons throne room, then kill the
horsemen using Oathkeeper and follow the Wind Keyblades. Attack by four attacks, Fire
magic, and four attacks again. This will kill them in about two seconds each. You will get
90 experience points for each run, and Follow The Wind ensures that you collect every
Drive Ball.

To level up the Master Form, go to Aladdin's world and enter through the Peddler's Shop.
Go outside and defeat as many Heartless as possible. Then, return to the Peddler's Shop,
exit the world, and repeat.

To level up the Master Form, go to Beast's Castle and enter the parlor. Then, go to the
front doors and kill the Morningstars and the Statues outside. Run back inside and go up
the steps. Kill the Crimson Jazz and Morningstars. If at anytime you are on your last
Drive bar, go to the save point and save. Eventually you will be able to go all the way to
Beast's room, gaining anywhere from 25 to 150 experience points each time.

Leveling up Valor and Wisdom Form 
Leveling up the Valor Form is based on the number of hits you land on enemies. Try
fighting in the Borough at the Radiant Garden/Hollow Bastion world, the second time
around.

Leveling up the Wisdom Form is based on the number of Heartless destroyed while in that
Form. Try fighting at Fragment Crossing in The World That Never Was.

To level up the Valor and Wisdom Form, go to The World That Never Was. At the first save
point, kill the never ending Heartless. Because you have six gauges, Drive, run out,
Drive, and return to the world map. Unequip all specials by Goofy to ensure that you get
the kills. Also, equip his default weapon.

To level up the Valor and Wisdom Form, go to the Timeless River and enter Mickey's house.
Defeat all the Heartless and continue on to the Scene Of Fire. Defeat all the Heartless
and continue to the Lilliput area. Defeat all the Heartless, then exit the Timeless River
and repeat. You may need to exit Timeless River earlier, depending on your Form level.

To easily level up the Valor, Wisdom, or Master Form, first complete Space Paranoids.
Then, go to any one of the four starting points for that level. Next, go to a group of
enemies (preferably with Devastators for Valor and Master, or weak enemies like Strafers
for Wisdom) and change to your Form. Kill all the enemies in the level. Then before you
switch out of Drive mode, go to a computer terminal and leave Space Paranoids. When you
return to Ansem's study, you will have full Drive health and magic. If you do not make it
and your Drive runs out, go to Olympus Coliseum, enter any tournament, and quit. You will
have full Drive. Then, just go back to Ansem's study and repeat until you have the desired
Drive level.

Leveling up all Forms 
The World That Never Was is a good location for leveling up Forms. For your normal levels,
just fight all the Nobodies. For your Valor levels, go to Naughts Skyway and go to the
area where a group of Nobodies come out. They also give you about 400 experience points.
For your Wisdom Form, just start right in the beginning of the level where all the Shadows
are found. For Master Form, go to Beast's castle and search it for Crimson Jazzes and
Morning Stars. They mostly drop the big Drive balls, and you will get 3 experience points.
For the Final Form, go back to Naughts Skyway and kill all the Nobodies that keep
reappearing.

Drive mode training 
Go to Timeless River and make sure your Drive is full. Pick any of the four doors in front
of you and enter it. Kill all the Heartless in the area with any transformation, then
return to Disney Castle before your Drive gauge is emptied. Once you return to Disney
Castle, your Drive gauge will be full again. Keep doing this until your Drive level is at
maximum.

Get on the Black Pearl and sail anywhere desired. Change into your Form when you get
there, then fight the Heartless or Nobodies until your Drive gauge is low. Then, get back
on the Black Pearl to get your Drive gauge filled again. When your Drive gauge is low,
remain in your Form and get on the boat.

Anti Sora/Anti Form transformation 
When your Drive gauge is at 4, check your transformation. If you only have one
transformation that would be the Anti transformation. If your life is on the red and your
gauge is full, press Triangle and you will be in your Anti transformation. You must to
check if there is a reaction before pressing Triangle.

To go into Anti-Form you need enough Anti Points, which are obtained through changing into
forms. Master, Valor, and Wisdom Form give you 1 Anti Point. Transforming into Anti Form
makes you lose 4 Anti Points. Transforming into Final Form makes you lose 10 Anti Points.

Alternate ending sequence 
Successfully complete all worlds and Jiminy's Journal on the Standard difficulty setting
to view an additional sequence after the ending credits. When playing on the Proud
difficulty setting, successfully complete all worlds to view the sequence. Successfully
complete the game on the Proud difficulty setting and choose the sword both times to view
statistics about how you played after the credits.

Alternate appearance 
Acquire the "Drive" ability, then during any "objective" based fights,
complete the fight with a Drive activated and Sora will retain the transformation
appearance for the story event that follows.

Remain in transformed state 
If you are in a transformed state, ride a skateboard to stay in your transformed state,
even if your Drive gauge goes to zero. However, if the gauge is already at zero and you
get off the skateboard, you will return to your regular Form. This is also possible when
you are in The Land Of Dragons and you use the reaction command "Ride The Wind".
You will stay in your transformed state even if your Drive gauge reaches zero. However,
when you get off you will switch back to normal.

Hidden trailer 
Allow the game to remain idle for two to three minutes at the title screen. The screen
will fade and a trailer for Kingdom Hearts 2 will begin playing, showing the credits with
an instrumental version of the theme song "Sanctuary" playing in the background.

In-game reset 
While playing the game, hold L1 + R1 + L2 + R2 and press Start + Select.

Extra points in the Cerberus Paradox Cup 
Use the following trick to get 1,300 points in the Cerberus Paradox Cup. Equip Photon
Debugger, Draw, and Thunder Boost. When the round begins, get as close to the center of
most of the enemies and use the Magnega spell. Then, use Thundaga while they are all
together. When you run out of magic, change to the Valor Form then change back and your
magic will be full again.

Better vision in Hollow Bastion: Waterway 
When you finish the Heart door puzzle after the first fight with Riku and go down into the
base level, you will eventually go through a door to an area called "Waterway".
If you are having problems seeing in there, turn the contrast and brightness all the way
up on your television.

Getting Queen Minnie to the throne easily 
When you enter the room, stay with the queen and use the "Faith" reaction before
the enemies attack you to knock them back. When they are knocked back, go forward and call
the queen (reaction command). Keep repeating the process (use "Faith" then call
the queen) to either kill all the Heartless, or run to the throne and finish the mission.

Easy Learns in Beast's Castle 
When you are fighting the opponent the second time at Beast's Castle, there is a way to
get four or more Learns. When he makes the lighting come at you, just start running. When
you see a small gust of wind behind you, immediately jump. While in the air you will have
the command for Learn. Immediately press Triangle then repeat.

Getting less than 15 seconds in Cargo Climb mini-game 
Do it up in the air instead of on the ground. If you attempt this on the ground, you will
get no less than 16 seconds (even with negative combo and Fenrir equipped). If you do it
up in the air with negative combo and Fenrir equipped, you can do it in 9 seconds easily
on the first try.

Getting less than six swings in Junk Sweep mini-game 
This mini-game is pretty easy to do, but do not use Magnet. All that really does is up
your swings drastically without even doing any sweeping. The key to winning this is
patience. Move all the junk boxes into a corner by pushing them (walk into them and they
move slightly). Move them all into the corner then slam one into the heart of the junk
pile. You can get four swings with this method with Fenrir and negative combo equipped.

Getting over 1000 points in Phil's training mini-game 
This is actually one of the easier tasks in the game, though it does seem very hard if you
do not know what you are doing. The things that you should be aware of are as follows:

Draw is a must. The level you get Draw ability depends on what you picked up at the
"Dive to the Heart" on Day 3. Sword is level 28, shield is level 47, and staff
is level 25. The Draw Ring is always a big help, but you can only get it from Rabbit's
house.

The jars do not have HP, and break on the final blow; get your combo as low as possible.
There are some things that give a negative combo, but acquiring them is difficult. The
level you get negative combo ability also depends on what you picked up on the "Dive
to the Heart" on Day 3. Sword is level 44, shield is level 73, and staff is level 36.
The other item that decreases combo is the Keyblade Fenrir, but you have to defeat
Sephiroth to get it.

The way to get over 1,000 points is as follows. There are two types of jars and two types
of orbs. There are small jars which will drop small orbs, and large jars that will drop
large orbs. You want the large orbs, but there are not enough large pots to gain 1,000
points. When pots spawn, immediately look for the large pot. When you see it, move over to
it, lock on, then locate the horde of small pot spawns. All you have to do now is knock
the big pot into the horde of little pots. What this accomplishes is something a little
different than what you would think. When the large pot collides with the small pots, all
pots drop large orbs. You now have a nice horde of large orbs, and also have killed a
group of the small pots. Repeat this method until the end of the mini-game and you will
have well over 1,000 points.

Completing Battle Of A Thousand Heartless 
Equip Oathkeeper and the abilities Reaction Boost, Explosion, and EXP Up for some extra
levels. First, use Rising Sun to get yourself into a corner. Then, keep on using air
combos on the floating Heartless and ground combos and Rising Sun on the infantry.
Whenever you can, snag a floater and use Sparkle Ray, then finish off the survivors.
Oathkeeper will give you fast powerful combos; explosion can kill about eight Heartless
every time you use it; and EXP Up will ensure that you get lots of levels if you have low
health. After the fight you will see some intermission sequences, have a chance to go back
to other worlds and finish them, and obtain the Gullwing keychain from Yuna, Rikku, and
Paine.

Defeating Axel 
This battle is a bit difficult because Axel has long range attacks. Since he launches most
of his attacks straight ahead, approach him from the side. When his body envelopes in
flames, this signals that a strong attack is coming, so get some distance between you and
him, and get ready to avoid it.

Defeating Dusk 
At the start of the battle, you will find that your weapon has no effect on Dusk. However,
after a short while an intermission sequence will play and you will gain the Keyblade,
which will allow you to damage him. It should only take 5 hits to defeat him.

Defeating Flailer 
At the start of the battle, a dark energy will surround Roxas. Then, the screen will fade
to white, and Roxas will be trapped in the air. When Flailer approaches and is about to
attack, use the Reaction Command to break free and attack him. Then, Flailer will rush up
and grab you. Use the Reaction Command when it flashes to knock him off the platform. The
Station will turn upside down and Roxas will slide off, using his Keyblade to hang on.
Flailer will generate a sphere of dark energy and launch it at you. As it approaches, use
the Reaction Command and Roxas will throw his Keyblade through the attack and knock
Flailer down. Next, target his head and start attacking him before he stands back up. When
he stands up, he will begin to do various attacks, which includes summoning smaller
enemies. Use the Reaction Commands to reach his head, and try to avoid his attacks.
Eventually, his attack pattern will reset and you will go through the Reaction Command
sequence again. If you take a lot of damage, make sure to use your potions.

Defeating Seifer 
Seifer will walk forward and slash at you. Run up to him and begin attacking him before he
starts attacking. He will also leap forward and do a spinning slash which is more
difficult to avoid; try blocking his attacks with Reflect Guard by pressing Square. He
will go down after about 13 hits.

Defeating Sephiroth 
Put on Berserk, MP Rage, MP Haste, and Trinity Limit. First attack him with Trinity then
use Berserk immediately afterwards. When he teleports, quickly run away. Dodge him until
he uses the big sword combo, then press Triangle as soon as it appears to block it and
leave him open. Next, use Trinity on him, or if you do not have your MP back, keep
attacking with Berserk. Make sure to hit him when he says "Sin Harvest". Note:
The Ultima Weapon helps a lot.

It is recommended that you be at level 85 in order to get the Second Chance ability;
however, it is possible to do it at level 65 when you get the Beserk Charge. The abilities
you should equip are Guard, Finishing Leap, Retaliating Slash, Guard Break, all the Aerial
abilities, Once More, Defender, Finishing Plus, and Berserk Charge. Item Boost, both Combo
and Aerial Combo Boost are also recommended. Your armor and accessories do not make a
difference in this battle. Make sure to fill all your item slots with Hi-Potions, as
Elixirs will just be a waste. Set your shortcuts with Hi-Potion, Cure, Reflect, and any
other command. Sephiroth has eight attacks, all of which are possible to dodge and
counterattack. The first attack is his Dash attack. Simply block it with the Reaction
command. His Sword Combo can be blocked by using Guard or by running away and
counterattacking when he finishes. His third attack is the Upward Slash. You can either
Guard it or get hit and use the Retaliating Slash before he can begin a combo. His Dark
Orb attack can be dodged by either attacking them or by using Reflect. The Flame attack
can only be dodged by running away. If you get to close you will be sucked in and thrown
to the other side. His trademark attack, Sin Harvest, causes a lot of damage. You can
either hit him before he gets too high or ready a well timed Cure of Hi-Potion. After he
uses Sin Harvest he always goes directly into a Dash attack. The seventh attack is his
second trademark attack, Meteor. The only way to dodge it is to jump left and right. If
you get hit, use the Aerial Recovery and continue dodging. His last attack is an upgraded
version of his Sword combo. It can be blocked the same way but you cannot run away from
it. Note: If you get down to his last bar, make sure you have MP, as you can only win with
a finishing combo.

It is recommended that you be at level 65 or higher. For a weapon, equip Ultima Weapon.
For abilities, equip Guard, Retaliating Slash, Slide Dash, Explosion, Aerial Sweep, Aerial
Spiral, Aerial Finish, Counter Guard, High Jump, Aerial Dodge, Berserk Charge, Leaf
Bracer, 2 MP Rages, Second Chance, Once More, and optionally Trinity Limit and Scan. For
items, equip lots of Elixirs and Hi-Potions. Sephiroth will start with a move that slashes
through you. You must use the action command to dodge it. If you did this, he will be left
open for a free combo or two. When he teleports and knocks you into the air, use
Retaliating Slash for a few hits on him. When he charges at you swinging his sword, use
Guard until he is done, then attack him. Note: Make sure to block this because it takes
away about three quarters of your HP. When you have taken a few HP bars off him, he will
send blue spheres around you. Destroy them quickly because Sephiroth will charge you and
the spheres will hit you. This is where High Jump and Aerial Dodge are useful. He will
eventually float up in the air and say "Heartless Angel". Double jump and attack
him quickly. This move takes out all your MP and all except 1 HP (if you put on Second
Chance/Once More). Make sure to block it. Also, be careful about the fire pillars. When
you have taken him down to three or four HP bars he will shoot down lots of meteors at
you. Make your way towards him and attack. You will eventually kill him. Make sure to use
Curaga and items sparingly and only when really needed.

Use the following trick to defeat Sephiroth at level 50. Equip all Elixir, Kingdom Key,
Berserk Charge, and Compo Minus. When he attacks, stand still then counter him with fire.
Do not use Limit and save MP for magic. When he throws the dark ball things at you, guard
with Reflect. When he use Sin Harvest, use Thunder to stop him. Keep hitting with the
Keyblade and fire. When his hand starts glowing, keep jumping to avoid his attack and use
Magnega. Then, use Fire and repeat until he is defeated.

Get to level 65 after choosing the sword at the start. Earn the Berserk Charge ability.
Every time you run out of magic, you can keep performing combos with no finishing move.

Get to level 85 after choosing any weapon at the start. You will have the Second Chance
ability, Once More, and Berserk Charge.

Defeating the dragon in the final Boss battle 
When you must fight the huge dragon during the final Boss battle using the Organization
XIII hovership, there is an easier way than just using the charge and "Mega
Laser" reaction command. First, use the Charge command to use "Mega Laser"
once. When the floating bomb-like Heartless appear, attack them to make them explode. By
doing this, it does some damage to the part of the dragon you are facing. Keep repeating
the process to defeat the dragon faster.

Defeating the Grim Reaper 
When facing the Grim Reaper the second time, have Donald and Jack in your party. Have
Donald and yourself cast Blizzard and Thunder then pick up the medallions. Use the
reaction command Hinder and the combo move Loot Launch when the Grim Reaper starts taking
medallions from the chest. When all of the medallions are in the chest, switch Donald for
Goofy then transform into Valor and keep attacking. When you transform back to Sora,
switch Goofy for Donald then repeat the strategy. If you accidentally transform into
Anti-Sora (black Sora with yellow eyes), lock on and keep attacking.

Defeating the last Xemnas 
This strategy requires that you are at level 50 or higher. At the beginning of the battle,
Xemnas will throw you into the air and say "We shall go together". When he does
this, continue to use "Reversal" by pressing Triangle until you cannot do it
anymore. Make sure you dodge all of his attacks, especially the ones with his double
swords. These attacks can instantly kill you if you are not at full health. When he says
"Mine", he will throw energy at you. Quickly use "Reversal" to get
closer to him so that you can attack him. When half of his health is gone, he will begin
to shoot lasers at you. Try to dodge these, but it may be difficult. After he is finished
with that attack, Riku will have to save Sora, but Xemnas will try to stop you by throwing
orbs or hurting you with his shield. When he attempts to use his shield, have Riku use
Dark Aura until he has backed up far away then continue towards Sora. Continue to do this
until you have a command at the top labeled "Rescue" by pressing Triangle. After
doing that, Xemnas will throw you into the air again. Do the same as in the beginning.
Continue to dodge attacks and use "Reversal" to get closer to him. Make sure
that when he is at his last bar of health, that both Sora and Riku have a lot of health.
Xemnas will completely change the battlefield and shoot lots of lasers at you. First have
Riku reflect them by pressing Triangle, then when your health is low, deflect them by
pressing X. You should survive until the end of the frenzy. Then, simply attack Xemnas to
finish the battle.

Jack Sparrow not a skeleton mistake 
On your second time through The Pirates Of The Caribbean world, just after you collect the
fourth medallion there is an intermission sequence. Will tells Jack that they need to help
the people at Port Royal. Jack Sparrow walks up the stairs and he is not a skeleton, but
he should be due to the taking of the gold. The moonlight is shining on him clearly, and
yet he is not a skeleton.

Skateboard movement sound glitch 
This can be done at almost any time with Sora or Roxas. Get on a skateboard and do a
heelflip, jump, jump and trick, etc. but do not move. You will hear the sound made when
you are moving but you actually are not.

Kingdom Hearts: Chain Of Memories reference 
While in the white room in the old mansion in Twilight Town, the options on your menu
(lower left-hand corner) are marked with Kingdom Hearts: Chain Of Memories cards.

The Bouncer references 
On two occasions, there are references to the Square game The Bouncer. The first is with
Roxas. His hair is similar to that of Sion Barzahd in The Bouncer, and he also wears a
similar necklace. The second is with Pence. His jersey clearly reads "Dog
Street" on the right side of his clothing. This is Sion Barzahd's favorite brand as
well.

Misspelling 
Successfully complete the 7 Wonders Of Twilight Town. On the wonder animate object moving,
after completing the challenge check the map of the Wonders. It will read "It was
just a dog in a bad" instead of "it was just a dog in a bag".

At Beast's castle, after you find the locked up servants there will be an intermission
sequence. Lumier will say "If we could but light all the lanterns in this
passage" instead of "if we could put light in all the lanterns in this
passage".
