Destruction of property
|
In Kingdom Hearts III, you'll see various items around the worlds that can be targeted, like pots or crates. When hit, these reward you with various prizes, ranging from HP or MP prizes to synthesis materials, and sometimes even ingredients. When you see the targeting reticle, it never hurts to swing your Keyblade and see what you'll get.

After a brief overview of Hades's previous and current plans to take over the world, Sora and party arrive in Olympus, a slightly different, and much bigger, world compared to the Olympus Coliseum of previous games. They comment on the change of scenery (and lack of fanfare), and decide to head up the mountain.
After only a few steps, you'll arrive at a clearing, where a bunch of Heartless appear, consisting of Shadows, Soldiers, Large Bodies, and Air Soldiers. You'll get a tutorial on how to use Magic (keep in mind that Water magic can extract Shadows from the ground), and after beating them all, you'll receive an increase in Sora's max HP.
Soldier

|
Attacks
|
- Scratch
- Combo Lunge
- Aerial Whirlwind Kick
- Pouring Kicks
|
Strategy
|
Soldiers are a familiar sight in the series. They mostly walk around, trying to get close and perform one of their attacks. When they use their Aerial Whirlwind Kick, however, they'll be able to cover quite some distance. All of their attacks can be blocked, though. They are weak to Blizzard.

Large Body
|
|
Attacks
|
- Mow Down
- Rush
- Jumping Shock Wave
- Body Attack
|
Strategy
|
Large Bodies appear to be quite sluggish, but they have quite some range with their attacks. When they jump up, be ready to jump as well to dodge the shock wave that appears upon their landing. It can also cover a lot of distance by sliding on its belly. Once it gets low on HP, it'll turn red and use the Rush attack more often. They're immune to physical attacks to their front, so get behind them or cast Magic to take them down.

Air Soldier
|
|
Attacks
|
- Knuckle Hammer
- Thrust
- Axe Kick
- Savate
- Tackle
|
Strategy
|
A familiar enemy in a new outfit. As the name suggests, these enemies fly around in the air, and pummel you by diving down. They can be quite a nuisance by flying just outside your reach, but all of their attacks can be blocked, so use that opportunity to counter while they are in reach.

Once you've dealt with the Heartless, it's time to continue your ascent. However, there are no ledges to jump on! Don't worry, approach the brick wall, and you'll see a tutorial about Free Running, a new ability that allows you to walk up walls (You can identify walkable walls by the faint glow). Scale the first wall to reach a statue of Zeus. Before taking a right and continuing up the mountain, climb the wall to the left to reach a treasure chest containing an AP Boost.
Continue up the mountain and you'll reach a spectacular view. Sora shouts for Hercules, but gets the attention of another familiar face, Hades, Lord of the Underworld. Hades calls for his recently awakened Titans to blow you straight off the mountain. Afterwards, he is visited by yet two others, Maleficent and Pete, who are searching for a "black box".
