In ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'', a portal appears deep within [[Disney Castle]] taking Sora, Donald, and Goofy to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Gathering Place}}'''|集いし場所}}; a wide and rocky field situated atop a steep cliff where [[Lingering Will]] can be fought. | In ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'', a portal appears deep within [[Disney Castle]] taking Sora, Donald, and Goofy to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Gathering Place}}'''|集いし場所|Tsudoishi Basho}}; a wide and rocky field situated atop a steep cliff where [[Lingering Will]] can be fought. | ||

The final area, the titular {{nihongo|'''{{a|Keyblade Graveyard}}'''|キーブレード墓場|Kīburēdo Hakaba}} contains a crossroads, covered by the [[Keyblade]]s of the wielders who fell during the Keyblade War. During his battle with the heroes, Master Xehanort produces a horde of rocky pillars, making the graveyard completely unrecognizable, and summons [[Kingdom Hearts]] to shine down upon it. | ||
After Master Xehanort steals Terra's body and is reborn as [[Terra-Xehanort]], Terra's soul possesses his [[Keyblade Armor]] thus creating the [[Lingering Will]]. The armor locks them both within the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Will's Cage}}'''|思念の檻|Shinen no Ori}}, and forces Xehanort into a final battle.

In ''Kingdom Hearts χ'', the different [[Union]]s gather at the Keyblade Graveyard's crossroads, simply called {{nihongo|'''{{a|Badlands}}'''|荒野}}, to battle.

In ''Kingdom Hearts III'', the Keyblade Graveyard serves as a new base of operations for the [[real Organization XIII]], with a circle of stone pedestals serving a similar purpose to the [[Round Room]]'s thrones at the [[Castle That Never Was]]. It is also the site of the Organization's final showdown with the [[Seven Guardians of Light]]. | In ''Kingdom Hearts III'', the Keyblade Graveyard serves as a new base of operations for the [[real Organization XIII]], with a circle of stone pedestals serving a similar purpose to the [[Round Room]]'s thrones at the [[Castle That Never Was]].

{{nihongo|'''The Badlands'''|荒野| | {{nihongo|'''The Badlands'''|荒野|Kōya|lit. "Wasteland"}} return as the world's first area in the game, but with a different layout compared to previous games. Here, the area consists of a wide crater in the middle of a circular valley, where the Guardians of Light battle innumerable amounts of [[Heartless]], [[Nobodies]], and [[Unversed]] shortly upon arrival in the world. On the outer side of the ridge is a wide, barren field accessible through a long crevice, which contains a save point. It is in this field that the Guardians experience their initial defeat against [[Terra-Xehanort]] and the [[Demon Tide]] before Sora uses the [[power of waking]] to undo it. After doing so, a pink portal leading to [[The Final World]] appears at the southern side of the Badlands next to [[Battlegate 13]]. | ||
At the crossroads of the Keyblade Graveyard itself, Master Xehanort creates {{nihongo|'''{{a|The Skein of Severance}}'''|断絶の迷宮|Danzetsu no Meikyū|lit. "Labyrinth of Severance"}}, a sprawling labyrinth that serves as the world's second area. The labyrinth is split into three sections, with the first two each containing a pair of square arenas where Sora must battle two or more of the Organization's members alongside one or two fellow guardians. Spaced between each pair of arenas are a save point, a shop, and a portal to [[Battlegate 0]], followed by a forked road leading to either arena. Sora must also navigate a unique booby trap under a time limit to reach the first arena he picks, or else the doors to the arena will close and he must start over, with a simple corridor leading to the other arena once the battle is won. | At the crossroads of the Keyblade Graveyard itself, Master Xehanort creates {{nihongo|'''{{a|The Skein of Severance}}'''|断絶の迷宮|Danzetsu no Meikyū|lit.

The second pair of battles are followed by a short and straightforward corridor to the final section: the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Tower of Endings}}'''|終焉の塔|Shūen no Tō|lit. "Tower of Demise"}}, a massive square column that Sora can easily climb via [[Free Running]]. At the top of the tower, Sora joins Riku and Mickey in battle against Ansem, Xemnas, and [[Young Xehanort]], with Master Xehanort observing from atop an even higher pillar of rock. After Master Xehanort is sent to [[Scala ad Caelum]], a portal appears in the middle of the tower which allows access between the two worlds. | The second pair of battles are followed by a short and straightforward corridor to the final section: the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Tower of Endings}}'''|終焉の塔|Shūen no Tō|lit.
