The '''''Kingdom Hearts II Official Strategy Guide''''' is a guidebook for ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. 
==Product Description==
The ''Kingdom Hearts II'' Official Strategy Guide was published by {{w|Dorling Kindersley|BradyGames}}, which also published the strategy guides for ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'', ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', and ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]''. Two versions of this guide were released: a standard and limited edition. 

The limited edition version of this strategy guide comes boxed in a cardboard jacket that houses both the guide itself and Jiminy's Journal, an illustrated compilation of the material contained within its [[Jiminy's Journal|in-game counterpart]] that includes a sheet of stickers usable for marking obtained journal entires. Various covers were made for the limited edition version of the ''Kingdom Hearts II'' strategy guide; each features [[Sora]] in one of his [[Drive Forms]]. 



The Official Strategy Guide includes a gallery containing 3D maps for every area in the game, as well as lists covering the stats for each character and their abilities, the Keyblades, armor, and accessories, the consumable items and synthesis materials, the spells and summons, the Gummi blocks and mission rewards, as well as the stats for every enemy and their attacks. However, the guide's storyline walkthrough is essentially bare-bones, with the section for a world sometimes covering nothing but the boss battles. For example, the guide never covers the treasure chests throughout the game, and the coverage for each Coliseum Cup only contains general tips for obeying the rules of that cup, rather than coverage of each round.
