After defeating Dragon Maleficent, a new route is open behind the Save Point. Insure your party is at high levels, as this next boss will be difficult, and only Sora will be able to fight this one.

Sora and Donald will then find themselves in front of the Keyhole (a forcefield will appear before Goofy will be able to enter), where they finally discover 's comatose body lying on the ground. Sora tries to get her to wake up, but "Riku" suddenly appears and tells Sora and Donald that Kairi's heart has been within Sora's body all along, explaining a few things.

Kairi will then embrace the friendly Shadow, restoring it to it's true form: Sora!

With Sora restored, the four will then leave Hollow Bastion. The Beast, however, refuses to leave, since Belle is still inside. The party will be automatically taken back to Traverse Town.
