Part 6

Learn how to defeat Darkside and make your first choices on Destiny Islands in Wild Hearts Part 6.

After choosing your path, you will fall to the Cinderella Platform where a Shadow (the most common and basic enemy, rarely alone) will appear. Shadows can sink into the ground to become temporarily invulnerable. Defeat the Shadow and a few more will appear. After defeating them, examine the door, open the appearing [CHEST], push and smash the box to receive your first [POTION]. Break the barrel to open the door to a new area.

On the ship at Destiny Islands, three members of the Final Fantasy crew will ask you questions that affect your leveling pace. Your choices determine if you start at Dawn, Midday, or the Dead of Night. There are 25 possible combinations, and you can back out if you don't get your desired result.

Choosing Dusk requires more experience until about level 40, after which it takes less experience to level up.

You return on the Aurora Platform and must fight more Shadows. A pathway appears leading to the Belle Platform where the boss, Darkside, appears.

BOSS: Darkside

• HP: 240
• Attack: 2
• Defense: 2
• Weak: N/A
• Resist: N/A
• Drop: N/A
• Experience: 18

Darkside has two attacks. It starts with a Shadow Summon attack, slamming its fist into the ground to summon Shadows. Focus on attacking its fist to defeat the Shadows simultaneously, or climb its arm to strike the head. Combo attacks on Darkside's head yield 2 Tech Points. Darkside also uses Darkness Orb, an attack that launches seeking orbs of darkness. You can parry them for Tech Points and some damage, but it is best to outrun them. You can lose this battle, but the story progresses either way.
