| The '''Rising Falls''' is a location from ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'' found at the very entrance to what remains of [[Hollow Bastion]]. It sets the tone of the world with a broad vista of ice, water upon which one might, strangely enough, walk, and the view of a majestic, if twisted, castle in the distance against a rosy, twilight sky. The mechanism by which Sora is able to walk on water in Hollow Bastion is never actually explored, though his first chance to do so is upon his entrance into this world.

| The Rising Falls itself is a water-filled valley in the shadows of the castle, in which some ruins of either fallen parts of the castle itself or pieces of the town that ostensibly once stood there may be found. It appears to be a reverse-rift in a large body of water from which the water actually rises and flows into the large reservoir that appears to surround what remains of Hollow Bastion. If [[Sora]] jumps into a bubble floating above the water, he can travel underneath it for a few seconds. Icy platforms raise and lower themselves in the air. It is here where [[Riku]] first arrives after giving into the darkness at [[Destiny Islands]]. It is also here that Riku confronted the [[Beast]] and took the [[Keyblade]] away from Sora, stating that his part was over.

| The Rising Falls were not seen or spoke of in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''; however, similar rising columns of water appear in the Garden of Assemblage in the [[Cavern of Remembrance]], as well as in the chamber before it (Transport to Remembrance). It is possible that they were manipulated by the powers of [[darkness]] to rise, in an attempt to either slow down or confuse their foes.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *During the FMV opening of ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' when it shows Sora, Donald, and Goofy hopping from platform to platform in the Rising Falls, it shows them defeating Heartless as they travel, but there are no enemies in this portion of Hollow Bastion, only treasure chests, bubbles, and a save point.
| |
| *The name 'Rising Falls' is an oxymoron, as the terms 'fall' and 'rise' are opposites.
