Strategy Guide: Kingdom Hearts (Page 5)

Return to the Graveyard and use the coffin to enter the Boneyard. Solve the simple puzzle (just examine the coffins in the order that the ghosts appeared) and return to the Laboratory once more. Lock, Shock, and Barrel (a bratty group of kids working for Oogie Boogie) stole the heart Dr. Finkelstein was working on. Oh, dear.

Take the door near the pumpkin in the Boneyard to reach Moonlight Hill. Examine the gravestone behind the hill to uncurl it, and you can gain access to Oogie's Manor.

Cast Fire on the platform inside the Manor and use it to go up to the house itself. Make your way across the wending path, all the way up to the Evil Playroom, and defeat the three kids inside.


Hit the lever in the Playroom and make your way back to the front door area. Enter the shed that's to the left of the main entrance; when you do, it drops you by the sinister green door that leads to Oogie Boogie himself.

To beat Oogie Boogie, you have to get near him, and you can't do that until you press the button that's closest to his current physical position. The buttons aren't always pressable, though, so use the post in the center as a shield against Oogie's buzzsaw until they're available for pressing.

After Oogie is defeated, he fuses with his Manor to form a gigantic mutant creature. It's not as tough as it seems-just traverse your way around the Manor path as usual and destroy the glowing purple orbs dotted around the house. Some orbs are in rather inconvenient places. Just be careful with your jumps and you should be fine.


Neverland

Once you meet Peter Pan and Tinkerbell, take the door in front of you to leave the Ship's Hold.

Hop down the hole in the floor here and climb up the ladder on the other side. Go up the ladder and through the door on the right (opposite from the yellow Trinity Mark).

Once the cut-scene has finished, jump up onto the shelf and out of the room to the left. Activate the green Trinity Mark to reveal a ladder and climb it to the Captain's Cabin.


Now you must fight your shadow, which is simple enough until he starts splitting into three separate shadows. Make sure to activate your Scan ability here. Once it's on you can tell the difference between the fake shadows and the real one (the fake enemies have tiny HP gauges).

After the shadow is taken care of, descend the trap door to find Wendy and Kairi. Peter will leave your party at this point (if you had him as a member). Enter the door by the save point, then take the next door on the right and climb up the ladder to the Captain's Cabin again.

Go through the exit by the trap door to enter the deck where Captain Hook has an army of Heartless waiting for you. You can fly during this battle: tap u twice to switch between flying and walking (the controls in midair are the same as they are underwater).

Once all the Heartless pirates are gone, it's time for Hook to make his debut. Use your air advantage to stick-and-move the Captain, avoiding his sword attacks and casting Fire to keep him from killing off your fellow party members. He has very powerful offense, but fortunately it's relatively simple to avoid his moves.

And that's it. All you have to do now is fix the clock face on Big Ben that doesn't read midnight by hitting it a few times. That wraps up all the Disney-themed worlds in Kingdom Hearts.
