Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After regaining control in Yen Sid's tower, go north to grab a chest containing a Water Barrel, then exit south.
  2. 2
    Outside, go east for a chest with a Dream Candy. West of this, find a Special Portal. Win the fight using three counterattacks to get 55 DP, an Intrepid Fantasy, and a Royal Cake. Open the chest west of the Portal for another Royal Cake.
  3. 3
    Return inside and go upstairs. After a cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically), you will unlock a flashback.
  4. 4
    After the flashback, shop and save, then enter the book to access the Moonlight Wood.
  5. 5
    Follow the path to a battle. After winning, open the two chests for a Mega-Potion and a Shield Cookie 3. Use the Reality Shift on the nearby music thing.
  6. 6
    Continue along the path. When the Portal appears on the map, go southwest to find a chest with a Confetti Candy 3.
  7. 7
    Scale the nearby tree with Flowmotion and open the chest at the top for an Intrepid Fancy.
  8. 8
    Use Laguna’s Portal. Win without being damaged more than twice to receive 25 DP, a Fleeting Fancy, and an Ice Dream Cone 2.
  9. 9
    Return to where the Portal was and head east to find a chest with a Zero Graviza.
  10. 10
    Head west to an unvisited area to find a chest with a Drop-Me-Not.
  11. 11
    Head southwest to find a frog. Beat it to receive an HP boost, new drop bonuses, and a Lord Kyroo Recipe.
  12. 12
    Continue along the main path to a supposed dead-end. Go northeast to open a chest for a Paint Gun (Green x10). Use Reality Shift on the musical thing to open a path. Head south to the next area.
  13. 13
    In the Golden Wood, go north to the Save Point. Head northwest to find a Portal from Laguna to borrow Spirits. Northeast of the Save Point, find a Paint Gun (Red x10). Scale the wall behind it with Flowmotion to reach another musical thing and use Reality Shift.
  14. 14
    Air slide southwest to find an Elixir in a chest. Scale the tree to reach the leaf platforms above, then head north to find a chest with a Ryu Dragon Recipe.
  15. 15
    Go south, far east, and scale the trunk to find a chest with an Intrepid Fantasy. Go to the southern leaves and ride the vine to the other ledge. Open the chest there (Mega-Potion) and continue into the next area.
  16. 16
    At the Snowgleam Wood, follow the path to the lake. Head to the lone island and use Reality Shift on the music thing to make an ice floe appear. Go along the new icy path. When you reach the open area turning south, get off and open the chest for a Block-it Chocolate 3.
  17. 17
    Continue along the icy rail. At the gap, jump over and open the chest for a Dulcet Fancy.
  18. 18
    At the lake, defeat enemies, then look northeast to see a chest. Air slide over to it and open it for Treasure Goggles. Head to the ice floe in the middle of the lake and use Reality Shift on it.
  19. 19
    Use Flowmotion to scale the south-central wall of the lake and open the chest atop it to find an Ice Barrage. Cross the aerial snowflakes and continue northeast. After riding the ice, find an Ice Dream Cone 3 in front of you and to the left.
  20. 20
    Continue along the path to find a Portal from Bartz. Win the fight while blocking at least attacks to win 25 DP, a Lofty Fancy, and a Shield Cookie 3. Backtrack to the second icy lake and leave via the eastern path.
  21. 21
    Use the Save Point you reach and head almost due east to find a Confetti Candy 3 chest behind grass.
  22. 22
    Further ahead, you will find the Sound Idea, which becomes part of Riku. You will then be enveloped by darkness and fall towards a charred wasteland.
  23. 23
    Meet the unknown black-clothed man near a volcano. After a conversation, the mission concludes.
