User:Troisnyxetienne/Re:Chain Walkthrough

Nine people have already asked me for this, and since I'm playing (or more precisely, re-playing) Re:Chain of Memories, it'd be great to start bit by bit and compare the differences between the two versions of Re:Chain. By the way, I'm not playing the single English release, but the extension to Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+, so there will be some notable differences. I'll highlight those as we go along.

This walkthrough's bound to have some minor expletives. Even so, I think it's okay for everyone to get in and help... ^_^

Controls

 * to attack
 * to jump
 * for Dodge Roll
 * to Lock On. Note : I don't know why they had to change this when we were already so used to using to lock on...
 * Left analog stick to move around.

And after that, gameplay's entirely up to you. You're the master of your own floor, you create the rooms as and when you please, and once you've pwned the bosses of every single level, you'll soon find your way on to the 13th floor taking down the lord of the castle himself.

Note that the attack/jump controls are reversed in the Japanese version, which I'm playing.

See Deck Setup for the deck configuration. I'll just mention it briefly here : the first deck, which I'm calling Troisnyx*, is offence-based. The second deck, Mylène (named after the first half of the terror duo, Mylène Farmer) is the deck I'm reserving for boss battles, and the third deck, Boutonnat (named after the other half of the terror duo, Laurent Boutonnat) is the magic-based deck.

For my previous save file it was Esterel (magic), Ricordel (offence) and Fonterel (boss battles).

Gist of the story
Re:Chain of Memories is a remake of the story which picks up from where we left off at Kingdom Hearts : Sora saves Kairi and successfully brings her back to Destiny Islands, while Riku and Mickey are trapped behind the Door to Darkness - the one leading to Kingdom Hearts. Sora and company set off to find Riku and the King, only to end up in Castle Oblivion no thanks to Marluxia's guidance and have their memories manipulated... yet another unlucky day in Sora's story, and I'm gonna make this entire walkthrough as spoilerific as possible. I mean, c'mon, for one whole day of misfortune, Sora has to sleep in a pod for a whole year !

Meanwhile, for some reason or other Riku ends up in the 12th basement of Castle Oblivion and he decides to get rid of his darkness. He often sees Xehanort's Heartless tormenting him, though the King comes to his aid. But later on he is told that his darkness and his light belong to him, and that he should use both to his ability. So he finally gets rid of the embodiment of Xehanort's Heartless, though a part of the villain still remains in him. Poor soul, I wonder how he even lives.

=Sora's Story=

=Reverse/Rebirth=

=List of Heartless attack card numbers= As I said in Sora's story, I'm setting up this section primarily because Heartless have a certain pattern of attack cards, or even a certain range. So with this section, I trust you can prepare your cards well. I will be updating this section from time to time, but first I'll have to watch the moveset of every Heartless closely.

Note that this is for all other rooms except Feeble Darkness and  Almighty Darkness.
