Towards the end of the game, each of the heroes eventually arrives at the true battlegrounds of the world at the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Seat of War}}'''|古戦場|Kosenjō|lit. "Ancient Battlefield"}}, a small outcropping of rock overlooking the shattered vista below. It leads into the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Twister Trench}}'''|砂嵐の道|Suna-arashi no Michi|lit. "Sandstorm Road"}}, where literal storms of raw emotion roam freely. [[Unversed]] lurk within the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Eye of the Storm}}'''|嵐の中|Arashi no Naka|lit. "Within the Storm"}} inside each twister, ready to attack all who are captured by the maelstrom. Past the storms is the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Fissure}}'''|峡谷|Kyōkoku|kit. "Canyon"}}, a small ravine containing a save point and a [[Moogle Shop]]. 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. Meanwhile, Ventus and Vanitas have reunited into [[Ventus-Vanitas]], and Ventus is forced to fight off Vanitas's control within {{nihongo|'''{{a|Ventus's Mind}}'''|ヴェントゥスの精神世界|Ventusu no Seishin Sekai|lit. "Ventus's Soul World"}}. Both of these areas vanish after the battle ends.

As part of the [[Versus Mode]] at [[Mirage Arena]], a unique location is used as battleground. The area is a walled in and small arena, with several rock formations and platforms, and a twister that can hurdle the player up into the air.

Keyblade wielders eventually clashed over the world's light. Some sought to steal the light, some to usher in darkness, some to balance the two, and some to protect the light. Only [[Ava]]'s [[Dandelions|secret faction]] did not take part in the [[Keyblade War]]. Eventually, this clash resulted in the destruction of the original [[χ-blade]], which split into seven lights and thirteen darknesses, forever leaving the true [[Kingdom Hearts]] beyond reach. [[Luxu]] watched the conflict to its conclusion, with [[No Name]] in hand to allow the [[Master of Masters]] knowledge of how the war ended. With the Keyblade War done, the barren wasteland it was fought on remained littered with the Keyblades of the fallen wielders.
