Story summary
Roxas and Xion go to Agrabah to eliminate a Heartless. Roxas is feeling weak, which hinders his fighting power, while Xion effortlessly eliminates the Heartless with one blow. Roxas expresses bitterness at Axel for harming Xion, although she defends his actions. At the Castle that Never Was, Axel informs Xion that she’s absorbing power from Roxas, but reassures her that the three of them are still best friends.

Mission walkthrough
Roxas's level is halved because he's not feeling well, which means defeating enemies requires more attacks and high-powered spells. Be sure to link most of your spells to LV2, LV3, and LV4 Magic panels. The best spell to use is Thunder, as it will stop the Spiked Crawler from spinning, enabling Roxas to hit it. Xion will defeat the heartless halfway through the fight, and will drop no items or munny.

Loot and pillage the street and Sandswept Ruins areas, then head toward the Cave of Wonders. The hole in the east wall of the entrance wall is now open.

Inside you'll find many breakable jars and a golden elephant statue. Strike the statue and four crates drop from the ceiling. Knock three of the crates south onto the square pressure pads on the floor. When finished, the gate on the mid-level opens. Enter the Lamp Chamber to find your target.
