TheFifteenthMember Yes. You're creepy. I can't say we'll miss you while you're gone, so it'd be best if you did go. We all win that way. — TheFifteenthMember 16:30, 5 August 2014 (UTC) This forum thread will contain the tutorial transcripts for all games. Also, the plan is to eventually list the trigger requirements for each tutorial too.

If you run out of HP, it's Game Over.

The Map

On the Touch Screen is a map that shows your
position and where to find enemies and exits.
Press to zoom the map and camera out
when you are moving through dense areas.

Save Points

Enter a save point and press to
open the save menu, where you can
record and save progress.

Keep Those Abilities Flowing

Overclocks

Attack enemies or certain objects to fill up
the clock gauge. Each time you do, you will rise
a clock level, activating an ability on the
Clock Ability Tree and moving to the next tier.

Finish Commands

After you have reached one of the endpoints
on the tree, filling the clock gauge one last
time will change the Attack command to Finish.
Press to unleash a devastating attack!

The Clock Ability Tree

Touch the TREE icon on the Touch Screen to
bring up the Clock Ability Tree at any time.

• Choosing Abilities
  

By touching your choice on the Clock Ability Tree,
you can control which ability will activate next.
Keep in mind that Finish commands are more
powerful at higher levels along the tree.

Leave No Spoils Unclaimed

EXP (Experience)

You receive EXP for defeating enemies.
Earn enough EXP and you will receive a
Level Up chip.

Prizes

Defeating enemies may cause them to
drop prizes. Collect the green ones
to restore HP.

• Munny
  

If you want to shop, you will need
munny first. Take out enemies or break
prize blox to keep your wallet happy!

• Stat Chips
  

Install any stat chips you find in the
Stat Matrix to increase your HP, strength,
or other attributes.

The Moogle Shop

Visit this shop to buy a wide selection
of chips or sell the ones you have.

Use the Stat Matrix to Power Up

The Stat Matrix

Install chips into the slots on the
board to gain new powers.

• Installing Chips
  

Start by pointing to an empty, adjacent
slot and pressing to select a chip.

• Reconfiguring Chips
  

Something to keep in mind: you cannot
remove a chip from a slot, but you CAN
swap it with another chip that hasn't
been installed yet.

• Unlocking Boards
  

A new section of the Stat Matrix is
unlocked whenever you complete a world.
Each section has its own CPU you can use
as a starting point.

• Bonus Boosters/Support Abilities
  

Use chips to fill in the slots between
these pink objects and a CPU to unlock
useful support abilities.

• Command Expansions
  

Use chips to fill in the slots between a CPU
and these objects marked with a key to unlock
one additional slot group in the Command Matrix.

• Accessory Expansions
  

Use chips to fill in the slots between a CPU
and these objects marked with an armlet to
unlock one additional accessory slot in the
Gear Matrix.

• System Memory
  

Each command uses up a certain amount of
system memory. You cannot install a command
if it will cause the MEMORY indicator at the
bottom of the Touch Screen to exceed 100%.

• CPUs
  

All chips are powered by CPUs.
Install your first chip next to a CPU, then
build outward to complete the Stat Matrix.

• Dual Processing
  

Now that you have more than one CPU,
try connecting them with chips to activate
dual processing. This doubles the effect
of chips between the two CPUs!

• Bug Chips
  

Sometimes these bug chips will impede
your progress. Use Debug Devices to
blast them clean off the matrix!

• Debug Devices
  

If you have a Debug Device, you can use it
to destroy one bug chip of the same color.

• Wiring
  

Wiring is another way to pass power from
the CPU to objects on the board. If an object
has two wires attached, you will need to
connect chips to both wires to power it up.

Perform Great Feats with Cheats

Cheat Tuners

Connect chips to these cheats and you can
then use them to alter stats or rig the game
system in your favour.

• The Difficulty Cheat
  

You can change the game's difficulty anytime
you want with this gadget. Beginner is the easiest,
Critical the hardest. Enemies drop better items in
harder modes.

• The Prize Cheat
  

Use this to tweak how many prizes you get
from defeating enemies or destroying blox.
Increasing your prizes will make enemies
stronger, and the cheat unfortunately has
no effect on SP or score prizes.

• The Loot Cheat
  

Use this to tweak how often enemies drop
itemswhen defeated. Increasing your loot
will lower your HP.

• The CP Cheat
  

Use this to tweak how much CP you receive.
Increasing your CP intake will lower the amount
of EXP you receive.

• The HP Cheat
  

Use this to simultaneously tweak your HP and
enemy HP. Setting the cheat to 0% will reduce
everyone's HP to 1.

Upgrade Commands with Conversion

The Command Matrix

In this game, every action you can take
is represented by a command. Use this board
to install the commands you use in combat.

• Installing Commands
  

When you obtain a new command, try
installing it into an empty blue slot.

• CP (Command Points)
  

Defeat enemies and your installed commands
will gain CP. Once a command gains enough CP,
it will be marked with an exclamation point.

• Converting Commands
  

Once the two commands in adjacent blue
slots have absorbed as much CP as they can,
you should convert them into a single, more
powerful command.

• Test-Converting Commands
  

If you install commands in two adjacent blue slots,
they will temporarily transform into a new command
which appears in the red slot. This red command is
the one you will take into battle.

• Overspec
  

Usually, when you convert two commands,
you wind up with exactly what was shown in the
red slot. Sometimes, though, your new command
will be overspec: in other words, more powerful
than expected.

• Upgrading Commands
  

The icons next to a command name indicate that
the command will...

C = fill more of the clock gauge with each hit.

R = reload more quickly than usual.

CR = C + R

LV. = have a greater effect at higher levels.

• Item Commands
  

Item commands like Potions are marked with a
numeral, and do not reload until after combat.
In the heat of battle, you can only use the
quantity shown. However, you can use them in
rapid succession.

• Managing the Command Deck
  

Did you know you can press to switch control to
the top screen? From there, you can reorder your
commands or assign one shortcut command.
(Check out Controls and Shortcut Behaviour in the
Config menu for more info about shortcuts.)

Arm Yourself and Accessorize

The Gear Matrix

Arm yourself with a Keyblade, accessories,
and a devastating Finish command by installing
them in this board.

• Keyblade Chips
  

The Clock Ability Tree on the top screen
lists special abilities unique to each Keyblade.
You can unlock secret abilities (???) by
defeating enemies and upgrading the Keyblade.

• Finish Command Chips
  

Finish commands are the most powerful attacks
in your arsenal. You can use the one you've
installed once the clock gauge reaches MAX.

• Accessory Chips
  

Install accessory chips to gain a wide
variety of new abilities.

Revisit Worlds to Uncover Secrets

Selecting a World

Choose Select a World from the save menu to
replay episodes you have completed, challenge
world bosses in Score Attack, or just head in
to explore.

• Replaying Episodes
  

Once you've completed a world, you can
replay that episode anytime you want to
relive your adventures or grab the prize
blox you missed.

• Score Attack
  

Choose this to tackle the boss stages of
episodes you've completed an shoot for
a high score.

• Questploration
  

Choose this to explore episodes you've
completed and take on quests, hunt for hidden
system sectors, or battle the Heartless.

• The Quest List
  

Quests you have agreed to take on are
automatically added to the Quest List
in the main menu.

Smash Bugs in the System Sectors

System Sectors

The datascape created from Jiminy's journal
requires code to run. This code is housed in
special areas called system sectors.

• Locating Backdoors
  

Page 1/2
To fix glitches, you will first need to
find a backdoor into the system sector.

Page 2/2
Use the sensor on the map to track it down.
As you get closer, the sensor will flash more
quickly and eventually turn red.

• Powering Up the Sensor
  

As you unlock higher levels of the Scan ability,
your sensor will power up, revealing new
backdoors that lead to previously inaccessible
system sectors.

• Sector Debug
  

Glitches in the datascape are caused by
abnormal enemies inside the system sector.
Defeat these bug baddies and debug the sector
to return the world to normal.

• SP (Sector Points)
  

While inside a system sector, you will
rack up SP that can be redeemed for EXP,
munny, or other rewards once you have
completely debugged the sector.

• Terminals
  

Defeat the last of the bug baddies inside
a system sector to reveal a terminal some-
where on the floor. This is your way out.

• Links
  

Some system sectors contain multiple floors.
Defeat all the bug baddies on one floor to
reveal a link to the next.

• Floor Challenges
  

Attempt these challenges to earn extra SP.
First, decide what percent of your SP
to wager. Fail the challenge, and you will
lose this SP. Succeed, however, to earn it
back times the rate shown.

• Viruses
  

This system sector floor has been corrupted
by a virus. As long as the virus is present,
you must complete the floor challenge or you
will forfeit all of your SP.

Know Each World's Wacky Workings

Boss Stage Scoring

Page 1/2
Defeat enemies or bash blox to release
prizes that increase your score. You will be
awarded items based on your performance.

Page 2/2
Looking to give your score an extra boost?
Keep your HP as high as you can and defeat
the boss in record time!

Overlay Commands

Grab the diamond-shaped power-ups to arm
yourself with special commands. Each command
has a limited number of uses.

W3: Inklings

Everyone's lost memories have been scattered
about Wonderland in the form of Inklings.
Reunite the Inklings with the correct owners in
the correct order to set things right.

W4: Coliseum Rules

Page 1/2
Gltiches in the Coliseum have caused massive
changes to your abilities and how you fight.
Most deck commands, your shortcut command,
and the Loot Cheat have all been disabled.

Page 2/2
You can lower the difficulty to make battles in
the Coliseum easier, but be warned: doing so
even once will reduce the value of the rewards
you receive at the end.

• W4: Shred of Wisdom: Comhat
  

Page 1/5
COMBAT
Press without selecting any commands from
your deck to perform a regular attack. You will
strike first, then the enemy; once everyone has
had a swing, control will return to you.

Page 2/5
COMBOS
You can also press just before you strike
the enemy to attack up to two additional times.
Sometimes these combos will trigger devastating
special attacks that deal even more hits.

Page 3/5
BLOCKING
Press at just the right time before
an enemy attack connects to block and
reduce the damage you take by half.

Page 4/5
ESCAPING
Outnumbered? Don't be afraid to
hold down and try to escape
the battle.

Page 5/5
TEAM COMBAT
Combat still works the same now that you have
a teammate, but keep a close eye on Sora's HP.
If he falls in battle, it's Game Over.

• W4: Shred of Wisdom: Compiling
  

Page 1/4
To use deck commands in combat, you have to
compile them. Press to add a command to the
queue. Once you've picked up one or more commands,
press to combine them into a single attack.
Use to back up if you change your mind.

Page 2/4
Compiling commands results in different
attacks than usual. Figuring out what you get,
however, will take a little trial and error.

Page 3/4
In the Coliseum, commands will not reload
over time. Hit enemies with regular attacks
or destroy blox to gradually reload them.

Page 4/4
Potions and Hi-Potions are your best friends.
They don't need to reload, and more importantly,
they are the only deck commands that you can
use outside of combat.

• W4: Shred of Wisdom: Bug Level
  

Page 1/3
The gauge in the upper-left represents
the current room's bug level. Destroy blox
and defeat enemies to drain the gauge.

Page 2/3
This is the key to advancing.
Reduce the bug level to 1 by draining the
gauge past the white line, and metal blox
and danger blox in the room will transform
into normal blox or prize blox.

Page 3/3
The bug level also affects enemy strength.
Level 1 (yellow gauge): Normal
Level 2 (red gauge): Double strength
Level 3 (flashing gauge): Triple strength

• W4: Shred of Wisdom: Encounters
  

Page 1/4
ENCOUNTERS
A battle will begin when you attack
an enemy or the enemy attacks you.

Page 2/4
PREEMPTIVE ATTACKS
While in the field, attack an enemy from
behind to trigger a preemptive attack.
This gives you one extra turn at the
beginning of the battle.

Page 3/4
BACK ATTACKS
However, be careful. If an enemy attacks
YOU from behind, you will get caught in a
back attack. This means the enemy gets to
strike first in battle.

Page 4/4
MENACES
Beware the swirling pools of shadow.
These powerful foes will pursue you mercilessly
even if you flee to another room.
