Mission Walkthrough
Clear the Courtyard and Bridge areas, then go into the ballroom to see a cutscene of Belle talking about the Beast's behavior. After that head inside and up to the East Wing. Cogsworth and Lumiere discuss recent events at the castle, giving Roxas a clue to where Xaldin is. Afterward, Roxas can tangle with a squad of Sergeants and collect an Elixir from the far end.

Fight over to the West Wing, using Blizzard spells to help defeat a pair of Bully Dogs encountered together outside the Beast's door. Next, peek in on the Beast to uncover another clue to Xaldin's whereabouts. After the scene, use Firaga spells to defeat a trio of Snowy Crystals. Return to the Courtyard to find Xaldin near the dark corridor. With him found, Roxas's mission here is done. RTC when ready.
