Walkthrough:Kingdom Hearts Re:coded/Tutorials

Tutorials are pieces of information that explains to the player how to play the game. After a tutorial is triggered, the text are stored in the "Tutorials" section of the pause menu. This page contains a transcript of all tutorial texts.

Controls
Use to move around. Use to jump.

The "Attack" Command
Press to attack. Keep pressing to chain together a combo !

The Command Deck
The blue boxes above the Attack command are called deck commands. Press to use the command in the middle box. You must wait for deck commands to reload between uses.

Auto-Jump
Keep holding as you approach a ledge and you will automatically jump up or across, depending on context.

Adjusting the Camera
Hold and press, or just slide along the map on the Touch Screen to adjust the camera.

Locking On
Lock on to an enemy to automatically keep it in your sights. + (tap): Lock on/ Exit lock-on  +  (hold) + : Change targets

The HP Gauge
The green gauge in the lower right represents your HP, or health. If you run out of HP, it's Game Over.

The Map
On the Touch Screen is a map that shows your position and where to find enemies and exits. Press to zoom the map and camera out when you are moving through dense areas.

Save Points
Enter a save point and press to open the save menu, where you can record and save progress.

Overclocks
Attack enemies or certain objects to fill up the clock gauge. Each time you do, you will rise a clock level, activating an ability on the Clock Ability Tree and moving to the next tier.

Finish Commands
Page 1/2 After you have reached one of the endpoints on the tree, filling the clock gauge one last time will change the Attack command to Finish. Press to unleash a devastating attack !

Page 2/2 Afterwards, your clock level will return to 1, and your abilities for clock levels 2 through MAX will deactivate.

The Clock Ability Tree
Touch the TREE icon on the Touch Screen to bring up the Clock Ability Tree at any time.

Choosing Abilities
By touching your choice on the Clock Ability Tree, you can control which ability will activate next. Keep in mind that Finish commands are more powerful at higher levels along the tree.

EXP (Experience)
Page 1/2 You receive EXP for defeating enemies. Earn enough EXP and you will receive a Level Up chip.

Page 2/2 Install Level Up chips in the main menu's Stat Matrix to increase your level.

Prizes
Defeating enemies may cause them to drop prizes. Collect the green ones to restore HP.

Munny
If you want to shop, you will need munny first. Take out enemies or break prize blox to keep your wallet happy!

Stat Chips
Install any stat chips you find in the Stat Matrix to increase your HP, strength, or other attributes.

The Moogle Shop
Visit this shop to buy a wide selection of chips or sell the ones you have.

The Stat Matrix
Install chips into the slots on the board to gain new powers.

Installing Chips
Start by pointing to an empty, adjacent slot and pressing to select a chip.

Reconfiguring Chips
Something to keep in mind: you cannot remove a chip from a slot, but you CAN swap it with another chip that hasn't been installed yet.

Unlocking Boards
A new section of the Stat Matrix is unlocked whenever you complete a world. Each section has its own CPU you can use as a starting point.

Bonus Boosters/Support Abilities
Use chips to fill in the slots between these pink objects and a CPU to unlock useful support abilities.

Command Expansions
Use chips to fill in the slots between a CPU and these objects marked with a key to unlock one additional slot group in the Command Matrix.

Accessory Expansions
Use chips to fill in the slots between a CPU and these objects marked with an armlet to unlock one additional accessory slot in the Gear Matrix.

System Memory
Each command uses up a certain amount of system memory. You cannot install a command if it will cause the MEMORY indicator at the bottom of the Touch Screen to exceed 100%.

CPUs
All chips are powered by CPUs. Install your first chip next to a CPU, then build outward to complete the Stat Matrix.

Dual Processing
Now that you have more than one CPU, try connecting them with chips to activate dual processing. This doubles the effect of chips between the two CPUs!

Bug Chips
Sometimes these bug chips will impede your progress. Use Debug Devices to blast them clean off the matrix!

Debug Devices
If you have a Debug Device, you can use it to destroy one bug chip of the same color.

Wiring
Wiring is another way to pass power from the CPU to objects on the board. If an object has two wires attached, you will need to connect chips to both wires to power it up.

Cheat Tuners
Connect chips to these cheats and you can then use them to alter stats or rig the game system in your favour.

The Difficulty Cheat
You can change the game's difficulty anytime you want with this gadget. Beginner is the easiest, Critical the hardest. Enemies drop better items in harder modes.

The Prize Cheat
Use this to tweak how many prizes you get from defeating enemies or destroying blox. Increasing your prizes will make enemies stronger, and the cheat unfortunately has no effect on SP or score prizes.

The Loot Cheat
Use this to tweak how often enemies drop items when defeated. Increasing your loot will lower your HP.

The CP Cheat
Use this to tweak how much CP you receive. Increasing your CP intake will lower the amount of EXP you receive.

The HP Cheat
Use this to simultaneously tweak your HP and enemy HP. Setting the cheat to 0% will reduce everyone's HP to 1.

The Command Matrix
In this game, every action you can take is represented by a command. Use this board to install the commands you use in combat.

Installing Commands
When you obtain a new command, try installing it into an empty blue slot.

CP (Command Points)
Page 1/2 Defeat enemies and your installed commands will gain CP. Once a command gains enough CP, it will be marked with an exclamation point.

Page 2/2 Install new commands with a [!] in two adjacent blue slots, and you can then convert them into a powerful new command.

Converting Commands
Once the two commands in adjacent blue slots have absorbed as much CP as they can, you should convert them into a single, more powerful command.

Test-Converting Commands
If you install commands in two adjacent blue slots, they will temporarily transform into a new command which appears in the red slot. This red command is the one you will take into battle.

Overspec
Usually, when you convert two commands, you wind up with exactly what was shown in the red slot. Sometimes, though, your new command will be overspec : in other words, more powerful than expected.

Upgrading Commands
The icons next to a command name indicate that the command will...
 * = fill more of the clock gauge with each hit.
 * = reload more quickly than usual.
 * = have a greater effect at higher levels.
 * = have a greater effect at higher levels.

Item Commands
Item commands like Potions are marked with a numeral, and do not reload until after combat. In the heat of battle, you can only use the quantity shown. However, you can use them in rapid succession.

Managing the Command Deck
Did you know you can press to switch control to the top screen? From there, you can reorder your commands or assign one shortcut command. (Check out Controls and Shortcut Behaviour in the Config menu for more info about shortcuts.)

The Gear Matrix
Arm yourself with a Keyblade, accessories , and a devastating Finish command by installing them in this board.

Keyblade Chips
The Clock Ability Tree on the top screen lists special abilities unique to each Keyblade. You can unlock secret abilities (???) by defeating enemies and upgrading the Keyblade.

Finish Command Chips
Finish commands are the most powerful attacks in your arsenal. You can use the one you've installed once the clock gauge reaches MAX.

Accessory Chips
Install accessory chips to gain a wide variety of new abilities.

Selecting a World
Choose Select a World from t (Unlocked:) savehe save menu to replay episodes you have completed, challenge world bosses in Score Attack, or just head in to explore.

Replaying Episodes
Once you've completed a world, you can replay that episode anytime you want to relive your adventures or grab the prize blox you missed.

Score Attack
Choose this to tackle the boss stages of episodes you've completed an shoot for a high score.

Questploration
Choose this to explore episodes you've completed and take on quests, hunt for hidden system sectors, or battle the Heartless.

The Quest List
Quests you have agreed to take on are automatically added to the Quest List in the main menu.

System Sectors
The datascape created from Jiminy's journal requires code to run. This code is housed in special areas called system sectors.

Locating Backdoors
''Page 1/2 To fix glitches, you will first need to find a backdoor into the system sector.

''Page 2/2 Use the sensor on the map to track it down. As you get closer, the sensor will flash more quickly and eventually turn red.

Powering Up the Sensor
As you unlock higher levels of the Scan ability, your sensor will power up, revealing new backdoors that lead to previously inaccessible system sectors.

Sector Debug
Glitches in the datascape are caused by abnormal enemies inside the system sector. Defeat these bug baddies and debug the sector to return the world to normal.

SP (Sector Points)
While inside a system sector, you will rack up SP that can be redeemed for EXP, munny, or other rewards once you have completely debugged the sector.

Terminals
Defeat the last of the bug baddies inside a system sector to reveal a terminal some- where on the floor. This is your way out.

Links
Some system sectors contain multiple floors. Defeat all the bug baddies on one floor to reveal a link to the next.

Floor Challenges
Attempt these challenges to earn extra SP. First, decide what percent of your SP to wager. Fail the challenge, and you will lose this SP. Succeed, however, to earn it back times the rate shown.

Viruses
This system sector floor has been corrupted by a virus. As long as the virus is present, you must complete the floor challenge or you will forfeit all of your SP.

Boss Stage Scoring
 Page 1/2  Defeat enemies or bash blox to release prizes that increase your score. You will be awarded items based on your performance.

 Page 2/2  Looking to give your score an extra boost? Keep your HP as high as you can and defeat the boss in record time!

Overlay Commands
Grab the diamond-shaped power-ups to arm yourself with special commands. Each command has a limited number of uses.

W3 : Inklings
Everyone's lost memories have been scattered about Wonderland in the form of Inklings. Reunite the Inklings with the correct owners in the correct order to set things right.

W4 : Coliseum Rules
 Page 1/2  Gltiches in the Coliseum have caused massive changes to your abilities and how you fight. Most deck commands, your shortcut command, and the Loot Cheat have all been disabled.

 Page 2/2  You can lower the difficulty to make battles in the Coliseum easier, but be warned: doing so even once will reduce the value of the rewards you receive at the end.

W4 : Shred of Wisdom : Comhat
Page 1/5 COMBAT Press without selecting any commands from your deck to perform a regular attack. You will strike first, then the enemy; once everyone has had a swing, control will return to you.

Page 2/5 COMBOS You can also press just before you strike the enemy to attack up to two additional times. Sometimes these combos will trigger devastating special attacks that deal even more hits.

Page 3/5 BLOCKING Press at just the right time before an enemy attack connects to block and reduce the damage you take by half.

Page 4/5 ESCAPING Outnumbered? Don't be afraid to hold down and try to escape the battle.

Page 5/5 TEAM COMBAT Combat still works the same now that you have a teammate, but keep a close eye on Sora's HP. If he falls in battle, it's Game Over.

W4 : Shred of Wisdom : Compiling
Page 1/4 To use deck commands in combat, you have to compile them. Press to add a command to the queue. Once you've picked up one or more commands, press to combine them into a single attack. Use to back up if you change your mind.

Page 2/4 Compiling commands results in different attacks than usual. Figuring out what you get, however, will take a little trial and error.

Page 3/4 In the Coliseum, commands will not reload over time. Hit enemies with regular attacks or destroy blox to gradually reload them.

Page 4/4 Potions and Hi-Potions are your best friends. They don't need to reload, and more importantly, they are the only deck commands that you can use outside of combat.

W4 : Shred of Wisdom : Bug Level
Page 1/3 The gauge in the upper-left represents the current room's bug level. Destroy blox and defeat enemies to drain the gauge.

Page 2/3  This is the key to advancing. Reduce the bug level to 1 by draining the gauge past the white line, and metal blox and danger blox in the room will transform into normal blox or prize blox.

''Page 3/3 The bug level also affects enemy strength. Level 1 (yellow gauge):   Normal Level 2 (red gauge):      Double strength Level 3 (flashing gauge): Triple strength

W4 : Shred of Wisdom : Encounters
Page 1/4 ENCOUNTERS A battle will begin when you attack an enemy or the enemy attacks you.

Page 2/4 PREEMPTIVE ATTACKS While in the field, attack an enemy from behind to trigger a preemptive attack. This gives you one extra turn at the beginning of the battle.

Page 3/4 BACK ATTACKS However, be careful. If an enemy attacks YOU from behind, you will get caught in a back attack. This means the enemy gets to strike first in battle.

Page 4/4 MENACES Beware the swirling pools of shadow. These powerful foes will pursue you mercilessly even if you flee to another room.

W4 : Shred of Wisdom : Layers
Page 1/3 LAYERS The glitched Coliseum is divided into layers (think of them like floors). The only way to escape each layer is to destroy blox anduncover the hidden warp point.

Page 2/3 SCORING At the end of each layer, you will be given a score based on how many score prizes you collect. Earn bonus points by completely eliminating bugs from as many rooms as possible.

Page 3/3 Between the Coliseum's layers you will find save rooms you can use to record your progress and prepare for the battles ahead.

W4 : Shred of Wisdom : Licenses
Page 1/16 LICENSES Inside the Coliseum, you may find special items called licenses by breaking blox or defeating enemies.

Page 2/16 You can only carry 8 kind at one time, but there are a wide variety of licenses that do just as many wonderful things. Each license you find can only be used once.

Page 3/16 You can toggle between the Command Deck and your list of licenses by pressing:
 * (Control
 * Type A)
 * Type A)


 * {Control
 * Type B)
 * Type B)

depending on your Config settings.

Page 6/16 Scout-L (Map License) Ensures you are never back-attacked throughout the current layer.

Page 7/16 Break-L (Map License) Destroys all breakable blox in the area.

Page 8/16 Charge-L (Combat License) Lets you store up power for 1 turn to triple the damage dealt by your next attack.

Page 9/16 Auto-Block-L (Combat License) Causes all allies to automatically block enemy attacks for 6 turns.

Page 10/16 Timing-L (Combat License) Loosens up the timing for all allies' combo strikes for 6 turns.

Page 12/16 Escape-L (Combat License) Ensures you escape a battle unharmed.

Page 13/16 Regen-L (Combat License) Restores 10% of each ally's HP at the end of every turn for 6 turns.

Page 14/16 Reload-Boost-L (Combat License) Speeds up reloading of all your commands for 6 turns.

Page 15/16 Entrap-L (Map License) Ensures you get a preemptive strike in every battle throughout the current layer.

Page 16/16 Auto-Life-L (Combat License) Brings allies back into the fight if they have fallen during that turn.

W5 : Finding Iago
Search the city for Iago and retrieve the lamp before time runs out. Defeat enemies or break blox to uncover timer prizes that will put some precious seconds back on the clock.

W6 : Fighting as a Team
Each time you press, Goofy will switch between following you -> attacking foes -> destroying blox. His current strategy is shown as an icon in the lower right of the top screen. Lock-on to enemies or blox you want him to deal with first.

W6: Goofy
Page 1/2 Goofy has come to the rescue! Press to Ask for Help, and he will aid you in one of three ways.

Page 2/2 Any attack command in your deck will be substituted with one of two Goofy commands. Install more attack commands and a Potion for healing to make the most of Goofy's help.

W6: Donald
Page 1/2 Donald has joined the fight! Donald and Goofy will both follow the same strategy when you Ask for Help.

Page 2/2 Any magic commands in your deck will be substituted with one of two Donald commands. You should still keep a Potion installed for healing to make the most of your friends' help.

W6: Spinner Ray
Now you, Donald and Goofy can team up to use the powerful Spinner Ray command! Charge up the clock gauge and give it a try.

W6: Rescuing Friends
If your friends get KO'd in battle, move up close to them and choose Rescue to help them back on their feet.

W7 : Data Recovery
Page 1/3 Breaking prize blox and defeating enemies may cause blue data prizes to appear. You must collect these to restore your powers.

Page 2/3 Once you have collected enough data to regain some of your powers, find and debug the system sector. This will increase the total amount of data you are allowed to recover.

Page 3/3 Your data recovery progress is shown in the upper left of the top screen. Debug Riku to restore your powers in full.

W8 : World Cards
Page 1/2 World cards are the key to advancing through Castle Oblivion.

Page 2/2 When you approach the door and use a world card, illusions will appear in the room beyond.

W8: Ending Cards
Page 1/3 How things turn out in each card-world is directly dependent on your actions. The ending card you receive is a reflection of this.

Page 2/3 Each scenario has three possible endings: a normal ending, which follows what was written in the journal, plus extra and alternate endings, which do not.

Page 3/3 Ending cards, unlike world cards, have no specific use, but collecting them all may prove worth your while...

Blox
Bugs in the journal data have caused blox to pop up all over the world. You can break them with the Keyblade to reveal prizes, or use them as stepping stones.

Blox Types
The blox marked with a star ★ are called prize blox. Smash these with your Keyblade to reveal the treasures inside. Grey metal blox cannot be destroyed.

Rare Prize Blox
Blox marked with silver stars ★ contain valuable items. It takes three hits to break one.

Bounce Blox
The blue blox with bubbles on them will push you back if you try to approach from the side. However, if you jump on them from above...

Ghost Blox
The green blox will pop in and out of existence at regular intervals. While fully visible, they can be used as stepping stones. While they are transparent, you will walk or fall right through them.

Slider Blox
You can move the blue blox with the turquoise pattern someplace more useful by hitting them with your Keyblade.

Pair Blox
 Page 1/2  Each blue blox with a star ★ has a corresponding light green blox with a star ★ somewhere in the area. Both of these pair blox will move if you hit them.

 Page 2/2  Slide the blox up next to each other to turn them into a prize blox.

Blast Blox
Red blox with a cracked pattern will explode not long after you touch them, or immediately if they are hit with too much force.

Magnet Blox
Blox marked with a red and blue swirl are called magnet blox. The glowing sides of these blox will pull you toward them, but the darkened sides have no effect.
