(→‎Settings and Areas: still keeping the separate pages for Cavern of Remembrance and Garden of Assemblage for the time being, but honestly, I think this looks a lot better)

'''Radiant Garden''', also known as '''The Radiant Garden''', is an explorable world in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''. It is also featured in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'', although only in cutscenes. Radiant Garden is the home world of many ''Final Fantasy'' characters within the series, as well as the original home world of [[Kairi]], [[Ansem the Wise]], and many of the members of [[Organization XIII]]'s human forms.

A ruined incarnation of this world appears in ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'', and ''[[Kingdom Hearts coded]]'', under the name "[[Hollow Bastion]]", consisting primarily of the castle that lies in the center of the world, with the areas outside mostly destroyed. Even after its restoration, it continues to go by this name until the events of ''Kingdom Hearts II''.

Even after its restoration, it continues to go by this name until the final visit in ''Kingdom Hearts II''.


After the world was reduced to just the castle, following an assault by the Heartless, it is called simply "Hollow Bastion". It regains its name in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' after [[Tron]] finds a record of its former glory in the computer's database and shows everyone how the town used to look, causing everyone from the Radiant Garden to remember its name. This world is run by [[Ansem the Wise]] and the [[Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee]] in ''Kingdom Hearts II''. As the ruined Hollow Bastion, the world is controlled by Maleficent.
In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Radiant Garden plays a similar role to [[Traverse Town]] from ''Kingdom Hearts'', as a sort of "home base" for [[Sora]] before his return to the [[Destiny Islands]].

As the Battle of the 1000 Heartless attack begins, a hole in the castle wall at the Postern appears, revealing the entrance to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Cavern of Remembrance}}'''|追憶の洞|Tsuioku no Hora}}. Climbing down the hole leads to the cave's first area called the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Depths}}'''|最深部|Saishinbu}}. The area appears at first to be a small cave with a stream of water pouring down a high ledge, next to a [[Drive Orb]] crystal, however, past the ledge is a short tunnel leading to an immense, beautiful crystalline cave, containing many ledges, stalactites, and stalagmites which can be ascended to reach an ornate door, as well as a healthy population of powerful Heartless.

Through the door lies the lowest part of the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Mineshaft}}'''|坑道|Kōdō}}, a purple, deep, and winding pit cave which is crisscrossed with pipes across multiple "floors". Each floor contains openings in the pipes that require specialized, maximum leveled [[Abilities (KHII)#Growth abilities|Growth Abilities]] to traverse, as well as the appropriate [[Drive Form]] for each obstacle; the first two are also guarded by event battles with several waves of Heartless. Crossing the first chasm with [[Quick Run]] brings Sora to another ornate door, as well as a passage leading to an upper cubby of the Depths, where he can dislodge a stalactite in order to create a shortcut.
