Hollow Bastion: Difference between revisions

Also accessible from the Library is the first of many entrances to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Lift Stop}}'''|トロッコ乗場|Torokko Noriba|lit. "Minecart Boarding Place"}}, a junction point for the series of magical tram lines that snake throughout the castle. Each route is separated from the others by mystical barriers, and many passages and hallways also converge at this hub. The ceiling of the Lift Stop is decorated with stain glass.

Continuing up the castle by taking the lift on the other side of the Castle Gates area is the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Great Crest}}'''|虚ろなる城：大紋壁|Utsuronaru Shiro: Daimon Kabe|lit. "Hollow Castle: Great Crest Wall"}}, an enormous bas relief of the Heartless emblem, where the largest of the magic lifts is located. After a long and slow journey across the front of the bastion, the party is dropped on the other side, where they can take the Lift Stop to the next area, the {{nihongo|'''{{a|High Tower}}'''|高楼|Kōrō|lit. "Skyscraper"}}, where a smaller crest can be moved to create a way up to the upper levels of the castle. Through the Lift Stop at the opposite end of the High Tower is the entrance to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Castle Chapel}}'''|虚ろなる城：礼拝堂|Utsuronaru Shiro: Raihaidō|lit. "Hollow Castle: Chapel"}}, where the exit to the next room is sealed until Maleficent is defeated. There is also a secret area, where the Dragon and Xemnas are fought.

Once the seal is broken, the party arrives in the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Grand Hall}}'''|虚ろなる城：大広間|Utsuronaru Shiro: Ōhiroma|lit. "Hollow Castle: Grand Hall"}}, where the [[Princesses of Heart]] are held captive and the [[Final Keyhole]] forms. Inside the Grand Hall is a [[Heartless]] Emblem-shaped portal leading to a small dimension known as the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Dark Depths}}'''|闇の淵|Yami no Fuchi}}. Here, Sora and company fight off the [[Behemoth]] guarding the Keyhole from being sealed.
