Walkthrough:Kingdom Hearts/Traverse Town

First Visit
You are introduced to Traverse Town after completing Destiny Islands. During the initial cutscene, Donald, Goofy and Pluto are shown walking into Traverse Town, where they notice Destiny Islands's star going out in the night sky. They walk off to go find. Pluto goes off and finds Sora. Sora notices he's in another World, he wonders about it and walks off to find Pluto. And now you're back in control...

First thing you'll want to do is go into the Accessory Shop and save, it is vital to save from now on. Once you're introduced to, jump onto a cabinet near the door and open the to get a. It is of no use right now, but it will be useful later on in the game, so save it. Go back out and enter the Second District. You will witness a citizen losing their heart to a, an Emblem Heartless. Now you have to fight a group of, they're easy now considering you've leveled up a bit. As you can see, you now gain munny, allowing you to purchase an abundance of items, armor and weapons. Walk over into the Gizmo Shop, and as you enter, Donald and Goofy are shown walking out of the Hotel wondering where Leon is. Next, go into the Alleyway through the door near the fountain underneath the Hotel. Yet again, Donald and Goofy will exit the Hotel again to call out to Leon. Go back to the Second District and enter the Hotel. Donald and Goofy will have just walked back into the Second District, again. Now go back to the Second District and walk into the Dalmatians's House, and Donald and Goofy will walk out of the Gizmo Shop. Now that we have made them walk around in circles, go back to the First District, you'll be surprised to find Heartless there as it is a haven for NPCs. Avoid the Heartless or battle them, then go to the Accessory Shop and talk to Cid, where he'll give you a small tidbit of advice. Leave after you are done talking to him.

Now a cutscene begins where you are introduced to this "". Now a small battle with Leon begins. Whether you win or lose, you still continue through the game.

A few cutscenes then occur, the first one is short and shows cheering Leon for finding the Keyblade. Second shows Donald and Goofy walking through the Alleyway, where appears to them, she seems to know the King too. The third shows Sora finally regaining consciousness and imagines Kairi talking to him, when it is really Yuffie. Now a long connected story between Sora, Leon, Yuffie and Donald, Goofy, Aerith. This explains the whole story behind Sora having the Keyblade. After you regain control of Sora, save. Next, talk to Leon and he'll tell you that the Keyblade can do multiple things beside being used as a weapon. You can use it to open all around the world, like this one on the table. Open it and you'll get an. Now go back and talk to Leon, you're asked if you're ready and if you are, you are in for a challenge. appear. You're now placed in the Alleyway, where you can defeat the. However, it's best not to because you need to find the biggest Heartless, as per Leon's words.



Now, you can either rush your way to the Third District, or you can take your time and battle a number of Heartless to level up. We'd suggest the latter, so as to be ready and prepared for a significantly more difficult boss, at least for now. Once you're ready to go against the boss of this world, enter the Third District. While we suggest you wait until you get Scan, it will take an awfully long time to gain the ability, so fighting it with Scan might not be worth the extra time.

Now a cutscene plays, which is essentially the prelude to the boss battle. Donald and Goofy are on a balcony above Sora, there is an explosion above throwing Donald and Goofy to Sora. However once they find out that Sora wields the Keyblade, the area is sealed off. Now you have to defeat the numerous Soldiers to make the appear.

The Guard Armor finally loses control and its Heart disappears into the sky. You get for your battle efforts. Next a cutscene plays, where Sora, Donald, and Goofy team up to find Riku, Kairi, and the King. The following cutscene shows Maleficent and her gang of Disney villains planning on how to get Sora closer to them and initially plan on using Riku. And finally, after the last cutscene of Traverse Town, you are given 100 munny from the whole Final Fantasy gang. You also get Fire from Donald, and Goofy gives you the Dodge Roll ability, which is extremely handy. Go back to the Accessory Shop and save. Then when you're ready, go out and make your way to Wonderland. Unless you'd prefer Olympus Coliseum.

If you like, you can use Fire on a Door hidden in the Third District to access the underground lake where a wizard resides. There's nothing much down there at this point, though it's a good place to practice your Magic skills. A Trinity Jump  is also found in this place. You'll also notice an island with a treasure chest; don't bother trying to reach it now, as you'll need either Glide or Mermaid Kick to reach it.

The Post Sidequest is also unlocked now, but you'll need to have obtained Thunder as well as complete to finish this.

Head to her once you're back in control to see what she can do for you; nothing yet it seems, she just tells you how worried she is about. Talk to again, looks like the book is his. We recommend you do the book later on in the game as now you will only be offered a tutorial-like chapter since all the pages are torn, and now we're back to the, she will transform the gem into , a summon you can use in battle.

Head to the save point and save, and will suggest you go see, remember when he told us he would be at the house in the ? Head there and... Heartless, but who's that? .
