Walkthrough:Kingdom Hearts II/Timeless River

Timeless River

You enter this world after going through Merlin's door. This is the first of five worlds where Sora and his friends change form, since the party are givin 1920s-style designs, with Donald and Goofy looking similar to their first cartoons, althouge Donald is now in black-and-white and Goofy looks younger. Sora resembles his appearance from the first game, but now his style is similar to that with Osamu Tezuka's manga characters (such as Astro Boy) and is pre-1940s style.

You'll encounter Pete, who asks the trio if they have seen any bad guys around here. The trio point at him, much to Pete's shock. He then runs off towards the Pier. There is a Moogle Shop and a save point here, so save your game and follow Pete. You'll find him on a jetty. Select "Punish" to trigger a boss battle.

After defeating Pete, Goofy will suspect that Pete may not be the bad guy here, since he has not called up any Heartless. Goofy says sorry, but Pete then demands that the trio find the thief that stole his boat if they really were sorry. Sora agrees, and they help Pete (who's hurt his back in the battle).

Later on, they find a window that shows four groups of Heartless (along with some jumping flames) go into windows just moments before the trio entered this world. Your main goal now is to flush out the Heartless from all four windows.
