BOSS: Axel

HP: 345

Strength: 6

Defense: 2

Level: 2

You can lose this fight. Axel starts by making the floor fiery. Try to land a combo finisher to force him behind the flames, allowing you to use the Overtaker Reaction Command to guard his next attack. This leads to the Clear Light Reaction, which purges the fire. Axel still uses his other attacks; jumping to the side and countering is effective for dealing damage. Utilize dual-wielding the Keyblades for large, powerful combos.

  1. After defeating Axel, continue to the next room and claim the Hi-Potion.
  2. Enter the final room to trigger a scene that leads to controlling Sora.
  3. Once you control Sora, turn around and head back towards the Old Mansion.
  4. In a corner, find a chest with a Potion (1/15).
  5. Near the Mansion entrance, find another chest with a Mythril Shard (2/15).
  6. Leave the area and you will be taken to the Usual Spot.
  7. Return to the Woods to find three chests: a Potion (3/15), a Mythril Shard (4/15), and a Hi-Potion (5/15).
  8. Head back to the Tram Common. You will find two chests immediately: a Potion (12/15) and a Hi-Potion (6/15).
  9. In the northern area of the Tram Common, fight off bees and climb to the second level to find a chest with a Tent (8/15).
  10. Go to the Synthesis Shop in the southwest corner of the Tram Common to find the last treasure: a chest with a Potion (10/15).
  11. Run along the top of the buildings and cross the bridge to find a chest with a Mythril Shard (9/15).
  12. Turn east and jump the gap to find another Mythril Shard (11/15).
  13. Head back across the bridge to the first chest on this level and go east along the green rooftops. Jump across to a chest with an AP Boost (7/15).
  14. Once all treasure in the Tram Common is collected, head to Station Heights and into the Station Plaza.
  15. You will fight waves of Nobodies with Donald and Goofy until Mickey appears. He hands over the Munny Pouch.
