Walkthrough

1
Sora arrives in Traverse Town and is awakened by Pluto. This world is the main hub for people from all different worlds that were attacked by the Heartless. You will spend a lot of time in Traverse Town because of the Accessory Shop, the large building in the center of this First District.
2
Go south of the Accessory Shop to find the Item Shop. Sell your Pretty Stone then target the fan on the ceiling and hit it to receive a [POSTCARD].
3
Leave the Item Shop and take the Postcard to the Mailbox. Deliver it to receive a [COTTAGE].
4
Head up the steps past the Accessory Shop and look right to find some crates. Push the large one over to the shop and use it to reach the roof. Open the [CHEST] to find another [POSTCARD], which can be mailed for a [MYTHRIL SHARD].
5
Enter the Accessory Shop and talk to Cid. Jump atop the shelf to Cid's left to find a [CHEST] containing a [MYTHRIL SHARD]. Note that there is also a Save Point in the shop.
6
As you enter the Second District, defeat the Shadows that appear.
7
To the right is a [CHEST] on an awning. Jump from the nearby lantern to reach it and obtain the [POSTCARD] which can be mailed for a [MEGA-POTION].
8
Head towards the large building at the opposite end of the Second District. Jump across the gap and then over to the Gizmo Shop ledge. From here you can reach the [CHEST] with a [MEGA-POTION] inside.
9
Enter the Gizmo Shop and fight waves of Shadows for experience and Munny.
10
Enter the Dalmatians' House to learn about Pongo and Perdita's 99 missing Dalmatians.
11
Exit through the house to the Alleyway and head to the far side to find a [POTION] within a [CHEST].
12
Climb into the balconies to find another [CHEST] with another [POTION] at the end near the Dalmatians' House.
13
On the opposite end of the Alleyway, look over the balcony towards the chest on the ground to notice another [CHEST] on a ledge -- it contains a [PRETTY STONE].
14
Head back to the Second District and enter the Hotel to trigger a scene with Donald and Goofy.
15
Venture to the Third District via the alley that splits the Second District.
16
Return to Cid in the Accessory Shop. Save your game.
17
After the scenes with Leon, talk to Yuffie then open the [CHEST] on the table for the [ELIXIR].
18
Check the pictures around the room then jump up and hit the clock above Leon's head until it reads 7:00. A sound will indicate a [CHEST] spawning behind you on the seat, it contains a [MYTHRIL].
19
Let Leon know when you're ready and head out to fight the Soldiers.

Boss Fight: Leon

HP: 120
Attack: 8
Defense: 8
Weak: N/A
Resist: N/A
Drop: Elixir
Experience: 30
This battle can be tough at a low level. You are not supposed to win this battle initially; the scene afterwards is the same regardless of the outcome.
Leon hits hard with a quick one-two cut, which can be parried for 1 Tech Point and leaves him open for a combo.
Leon casts Fire, which should be dodged unless you can reflect it back at him. Reflecting the spell stuns Leon, allowing for damage.
A safe strategy is to wait for Leon to jump towards you, then quickly move behind him and unleash a 3-hit combo. A hit-and-run tactic (two swings then run) is also possible but risky.

Enemies: Soldier

HP: 24
Experience: 3
Drop: Spirit Shard (8%), Potion (2%), Protect Chain (1%)
Soldiers attack like Shadows but have more HP and deal more damage. They can dash towards you for a high-damage attack. Timing a hit to their head can yield Tech Points. Long combos are effective.
