_____CASTLE OBLIVION_____RRCASOBL10
---CUTSCENE---
We meet Lexaeus, and he's wanting a fight. He says that he won't lose.
_______________________________
//ROCK SHATTERING FIEND - LEXAEUS\\
-------------------------------
-------
ATTACKS
-------
Sword Crush: Lexaeus throws the huge metal curved sword in the air to land on
Riku.
Sword Swipe: He continously attacks Riku with the sword thing.
Sleight - Rockshatter: He puts the sword on the ground and breaks up a big
rock out of the floor. He punches it and big chunks go
flying around at Riku.
--------
STRATEGY
--------
Lexaeus is a tough opponent. Try your best to avoid his attacks and strike him
whenever you can. Hopefully you'll get into Dark Mode soon and you can use Dark
Aura. If not, try using Dark Firaga. If you can do neither, then its no use
wasting cards on Dark Break, so just try your best to defeat him with normal
combos. He has three health bars.
Grab his card. I gained two levels here so I chose AP upgrade and an HP upgrade
to boot.
-
Lexaeus says Riku is strong, but the darkness within himself will billow forth
and grab Riku. He dissapears in a shockwave of darkness.
-
Riku finds himself in an area of darkness. Ansem is calling out to him, telling
him to bow again. Ansem says that once he awakens again, Riku's heart will be
his. Just when Ansem appears to get Riku, the King appears. Mickey tells Riku
to fight Ansem and not to let Ansem take him. Then, the King's light turns into
King Mickey himself, no illusion or image this time. Ansem yells:
"Meddlesome king!"
and Riku reawakens back in Castle Oblivion.
---Floor B4---
Go to the stairs.
---CUTSCENE---
Axel appears and starts talking to Zexion. When they're done, Zexion asks Axel
if he has the data from Riku's home.
We see Riku again. Zexion appears and talks to Riku. He tells Riku that the
earthquake-like feeling that the castle just made was of the keeper of it
being killed. Sora had just finished off Marluxia. Zexion tells Riku that
darkness and Ansem's shadow still lie within him, and that if Riku was to meet
Sora now, Sora would have to destroy him because he is dark. Zexion tells Riku
that if he doesn't believe him that he should see the truth himself, and he
throws him the card of Destiny Islands.
-
---Floor B3---
Save and go to the door. Choose Destiny Islands.
_________________________
_____DESTINY ISLANDS_____RRDESISL
---CUTSCENE---
Riku is walking on the beach, thinking. He says that he never thought he'd miss
the island winds so much. He then sees Tidus, Wakka, and Selphie. He tries to
talk to them, but they dissapear. He lowers his head in sadness.
-
Like the last world, this place is kind of big and confusing so here's the
main info:
ENEMIES: Tornado Step, Crescendo, Darkball, Creeper Plant, Soldier, Shadow
RECCOMENDED LEVEL: 35
-
Room 1 > Up
Room 2 > Left
Room 3 > Left
Room 4 > Up
Room 5 > Left - BOSS
---CUTSCENE---
Riku sees Kairi standing on the bridge. He starts to say something to her but
she vanishes too. He screams 'NO' thrice. Zexion appears and says that surely
Riku knew that would happen. Zexion talks some more about when Riku threw away
his friends, and he says that Riku destroyed his own home. The screen fades
black and back in to the scene of the night when darkness attacked the island.
Zexion says that what happened, all those hearts that were lost to the darkness
on that night, was because of Riku. We see Riku standing on the same cliff, but
this is the Riku that was on the islands when it happened. Riku was tired of
being on this island, and he opened the door to darkness and destroyed the
islands. It was all because of Riku. Zexion tells Riku that he now belongs to
darkness. He tells him to look at what he is, and the Riku that was on the
islands during the attack transforms into Darkside.
___________________________
//WRECKER OF HOMES - DARKSIDE\\
---------------------------
-------
ATTACKS
-------
Heartless Fist: Darkside slams his hand into the ground to make Shadows appear.
Shockwave Fist: He slams his hand on the ground to make a shockwave.
Dark Light: He shoots a big ball of light at Riku.
Light Shower: He shoots a light ball in the air to make lots of light balls
rain down.
--------
STRATEGY
--------
Darkside is easier than when we fought him with Sora. He only has a TINY pinch
of a third health bar; it is like one centimeter. So, of course we know what to
do, the general pattern: dodge attacks, keep hitting him at any chance you get,
and once you get to Dark Mode, use Dark Aura or Dark Firaga if you can,
preferably Dark Aura.
You should be able to take out Darkside quite easily with Riku. Also, I never
got a Green Mickey 0 card in the fight with Sora, but in this fight I got one.
What this one does is it drops a plank of wood on the ground. Jump on it and
the plank carries Riku in front of Darkside's face no matter what movements he
is making. It provides for good combos.
-
Riku is alarmed after the fight, and we see Sora appear. He jumps out and
attacks Riku. Riku tells him to stop and asks if he recognizes him. Sora tells
him that he can see what Riku has become. Sora holds the Keyblade to Riku's
chest and in a flash of light, Riku is knocked back. Sora seems depressed and
says:
"Look at you, shrinking away from the light...You're not Riku anymore...You're
just a pawn of darkness."
He waits, then gets determined:
"So be it. It's time for you to face the light!"
The screen fades to white as Sora readies for a battle.
-
We see Riku floating in a big white area; he is fading in and out. He says that
he is being consumed by the light. But then we hear a voice - Kairi's. She says
that Riku won't fade...
Kairi: "You can't fade. No power can defeat you - not the light, not the dark.
So don't run from the light - and don't fear the darkness. Both will make you
stronger."
Riku: "Darkness, too?"
Kairi: "Especially darkness. Because that power is yours alone. The darkness in
your heart is vast and deep...but if you can stare into it unflinching, you'll
never know fear again."
Riku: "All this time I've been pushing the darkness away..."
Kairi: "Just be brave. Know that the darkness is there and don't give in. Do
that, and you'll gain strength unlike any other. You'll be able to escape the
deepest darkness - "
Riku: " - and I'll be able to see through the brightest light..."
Kairi: "Follow the darkness, Riku. It'll show you the way to the friends you
miss."
Riku: "But can I face them?"
Kairi: "You don't want to?"
Riku: "You know I do."
Riku turns into a completely black figure.
Riku: "And I will! The darkness - MY darkness - will show me the way!"
He changes back to his normal self.
Riku: "Darkness, awaken!"
He now changes to his evil suit, the Heartless suit he had at Hollow Bastion.
We see him turn and slash at something.
-
Back on the cliff, Riku is standing back up and Sora is backing away.
Sora: "Im...impossible!"
He changes into his real body. It is Zexion.
Zexion: "How did you find me in the light!"
Riku: "You reek of the dark. Even the light can't block out the smell. I
followed the darkness right to you."
Zexion: "Heh...After all your protests you're still just another darkling."
Riku: "I know who I am."
Zexion: "Since when? You were terrified of the dark before - "
Riku: "I'm not now!"
Riku slashes Zexion.
Zexion: "Ngaah...Hypocrite!"
Zexion fades away.
Riku: "He got away."

---Floor B3---
Go up the stairs
---CUTSCENE---
Zexion arrives back contemplating about Riku. Axel and the Riku replica are in
the room. Zexion tells Axel to use the replica to defeat the real Riku. Axel
declines, and asks the replica if he wants to be his own person. The replica
tells him yes, and Axel tells him that Zexion is a good place to start. The
replica can absorb people, Axel tells Zexion. Then, Riku Replica walks towards
Zexion as the screen goes black. We see Zexion scream "NO!" and we hear a
sword slice.
Back to the real Riku. Ansem starts speaking to him again, then says that Riku
is going back to the way he was. He let the darkness in, and the more that gets
in, the stronger Ansem is. Ansem now has control over Riku's body. He levitates
Riku. Just as Ansem is about to say something else, a light appears - King
Mickey's light. It goes into Riku again and apparently deals with Ansem. Mickey
says that Ansem should be tied up for a while, then walks up to Riku. The REAL
King Mickey is actually at the castle. Riku pokes him to make sure he is
there.
Riku says he is glad Mickey came. Mickey tells him that he promised. Riku falls
over, and says that he's just relieved. He says that he actually has someone
else around, and after a long time of being alone, it's overwhelming. Riku asks
how Mickey got here, and he tells him that a card helped him. Mickey says he
was looking for a way out of the realm of darkness and the card appeared.
Mickey says the card showed Riku's heart far far away, and he tracked him down.
Mickey thinks the card was thinking it belongs to Riku. Riku takes it and tells
Mickey that maybe he is right.
---Floor B2---
Save, talk to Mickey, and go to the door. Select Twilight Town.
_______________________
_____TWILIGHT TOWN_____RRTWITOW
---CUTSCENE---
Riku says that he doesn't remember this place. He asks for Mickey to see if he
knows, but then someone else answers. Ansem tells Riku that Mickey isn't here.
Ansem appears and says that Riku will have to face him and the darkness all
alone. Riku stops, and says that he isn't Ansem. He says that his scent is
different. Then Riku immediately recognizes him. This is the Voice that helped
Riku in the start, and gave him the card.
The guy changes form, and tells Riku he is correct. The man tells Riku to call
him DiZ. Riku asks what DiZ wants. DiZ says he wants Riku to choose. Riku asks
from what, and DiZ responds that Riku must between light or dark. He says that
Riku is inbetween both of them, walking in the twilight. DiZ says that he wants
Riku to meet Namine, then choose. Riku asks who Namine is, and DiZ tells him he
has to meet her to find out.
DiZ dissapears.
-
I will again be using a speed walkthrough. I think its easier for some people.
Here is the misc. info again:
ENEMIES: Shadow, Soldier, Air Soldier
RECCOMENDED LEVEL: 39
-
Room 1 > Up
Room 2 > Up
---CUTSCENE---
We're outside of a mansion. Riku wonders if Namine is inside. Then, the fake
Riku appears. Riku Replica starts talking some more, then gets mad. He says
that he even tried to consume someone else so he could BE someone else, but
nothing changed. He's just a fake, everything is borrowed from the real Riku.
The replica says as long as Riku is around, he'll always be nothing but a
shadow.
____________________________________
//FAKE FORM OF YOURSELF - RIKU REPLICA\\
------------------------------------
-------
ATTACKS
-------
Normal Attacks: Riku Replica attacks normally with his blade.
Spin Slash: He spins and swings his blade to knock Riku back.
Use Item Cards: He uses Item Cards to aid him.
Jump Slash: He jumps up in the air and slams the blade down on Riku.
Combo: He uses normal attack combos which actually hurt a lot.
Sleight - Dark Firaga: He casts a dark version of Firaga.
Sleight - Dark Aura: He bounces around the screen hitting Riku several times.
When he lands, the ground shoots up stunning power that
also harms Riku.
--------
STRATEGY
--------
This time Riku Replica has the Dark Aura move. Watch out for it. Do the same
things as last time, but watch out for Dark Aura, like I said. Also, he has
three health bars this time, but it still shouldn't be THAT hard. Keep going
and use Dark Aura right back at him, and don't forget Dark Firaga. Remember to
keep those combo attacks on him.
-
The fake starts to fade in and out. He says that he never had a heart and even
what it's feeling now is probably fake. He asks where his heart goes when he
dies, that is if it doesn't dissapear completely. Riku says that it'll go
somewhere, probably where his heart will go. The replica makes one last comment
before he dies:
"Heh...How original. Oh, well."
He smiles...and then fades.

---CUTSCENE---
Riku meets Namine. They talk for a couple seconds and she asks him to come
over. He sees Sora and asks what she did. She explains what happened. Then,
she tells him he needs to decide on what to do. She says that she can seal his
heart locked tight and Ansem can never come out. Riku asks if he'll forget
everything, like Sora. She is speechless. He asks again, and she tells him that
the darkness will be sealed along with his memory. He will forget the darkness.
She tells him he can go back to the way he was. She tells him to choose. He
starts talking about Sora doing anything he wants, etc. Riku says that he's
made his mind up:
"When this slacker wakes up, I'm gonna tell him off good. I told him to take
care of Kairi, and here he is taking a nap! But I can't chew him out if I've
been sleeping, too. Keep your lock. I'd rather finish Ansem off once and for
all."
She starts to say that if the darkness he wields gets a hold of Riku - he stops
her mid-sentence. He says he'll get the darkness to show him the way. She tells
him that's true. He asks why he has the feeling she knew he'd say that, and she
tells him she didn't know, but she hoped. She wants him to face the darkness,
because he's the one who can. He says that's why she came in him in the light.
As Kairi. She is astonished:
"You knew!?"
"I knew as soon as I met you. Somehow you...smell the same."
He smiles and takes some steps away.
"Look after Sora."
He leaves.

---CUTSCENE---
Mickey says that Riku decided not to sleep. Riku asks how he knows, and Mickey
says DiZ told him. Riku asks Mickey if he knows DiZ. Mickey says he seems
familiar and it feels like they met, but that's all he can feel about DiZ.
Riku then asks DiZ who he is. DiZ says that he is nobody...or anybody,
it depends on whether you believe in him or not. Riku says
that he really likes pushing decisions on other people. DiZ says that Riku
pushed away slumber and chose to face Ansem. Riku asks, "what, wrong answer?"
DiZ tells Riku that it was his(Riku's) answer, and that he's(DiZ) only here
to watch. Riku asks whether that means supportive watching or "watch me get
toasted." DiZ tells him that its his decision and that he need only believe in
his choice. He throws Riku a card. He says that the card will draw the darkness
inside of Riku out into this world. DiZ tells him to finish his business with
Ansem. Riku tells King Mickey to come on.
---Floor B2---
Talk to Mickey and go upstairs.
---CUTSCENE---
Riku examines the card. Riku repeats what DiZ said, almost:
"So this card will draw Ansem out..."
Mickey tells him not to worry, and that they can defeat Ansem together. Riku
says he's glad Mickey said that, but he must face Ansem alone. Mickey asks why
and Riku says there's no point if he doesn't do it on his own. Riku then asks
a favor of Mickey. He says that if Ansem wins, he'll enslave him. So if he
does, he wants Mickey to - he is cut off by:
"Sure, I'll save you, pal!"
Riku tells Mickey he is not listening and that he wants Mickey to destroy Ansem
AND himself with - he is cut off again by:
"No can do! I already made my choice. No matter what happens, I'm going to be
there to help you. I'm not backing down. Unless you don't believe I'll come
through for you..."
Riku happily thanks Mickey. Riku tells Mickey he knows he'll come through, and
Mickey says Riku won't lose in a million years. Riku tells him that its more
like not in a billion.
---Floor B1---
Save the game, talk to Mickey, and brace yourself. Go to the door. Choose the
final destination, Castle Oblivion.

_____CASTLE OBLIVION_____RRCASOBLF
---CUTSCENE---
Riku takes out his sword and tells Ansem to show himself. Ansem asks what the
rush is. He says he'll wait there in the heart of darkness, watching Riku
plunge into the very darkness he wields.
---Room 1---
ENEMIES: Shadow, Neoshadow, Darkball, Defender, Red Nocturne, Blue Rhapsody,
Yellow Opera, Green Requiem, Wizard, Wyvern
RECCOMENDED LEVEL: 45
By now your D Report should have been finished completely. Anyway, you know the
drill. After they're dead, take the top door with a 1 or more.
---Room 2---
ENEMIES: Same as previous
RECCOMENDED LEVEL: 46
Synthesize the top door with a 1 or more.
---Room 3---
ENEMIES: Same as previous
RECCOMENDED LEVEL: 46
Use the top door: get a value up to 13 and use the Key of Beginnings.
---CUTSCENE---
Riku tells Ansem to come out, as he can smell him. Ansem says that he knows
what Riku can do, but then he says he doesn't understand: "why accept darkness
and still refuse me?"
Ansem says that they are both similar, they follow darkness, they exist in the
same space - "so why deny me?" He asks if perhaps some of Riku's heart still
fears the dark. Riku responds:
"Wrong. The truth is..."
He draws his sword.
"You just really stink."
Ansem seems unaffected.
-
Ansem: "You're a fool to choose a fight with me. You've been conquered by me
once before. You should know what sort of power you face."
Riku: "Oh, I do. I used all the power you had to give and still lost to Sora.
I'm not impressed."
Ansem: "Very well. Then sink into the dark abyss!"
He creates a dark shockwave and the room goes black.
___________________________
//PURSUER OF DARKNESS - ANSEM\\
---------------------------
-------
ATTACKS
-------
Submit: The Dark Shadow behind Ansem attacks Riku.
Floor Thunder: Ansem sends a bolt of lightning through the floor.
Item Cards: He uses Item Cards to aid him in battle.
Sleight - ???: A dark shield forms around Ansem and the Dark Shadow.
They fly around the room knocking into Riku. (It says the name
is Rockshatter but that was Lexaeus's Sleight move.)
Sleight - Dark Shadow: The screen goes black and the Dark Shadow appears from
the ground underneath Riku and flies up, harming him.
He repeats this several times.
--------
STRATEGY
--------
Ansem is a REAL pain. You really just need to watch out for his Dark Shadow
Sleight, but if you're in Dark Mode, don't let him get in ANY attacks or you'll
be back to normal in no time.
Ansem has FOUR health bars so you'll be here a while. Mainly, all you can do is
what you've been doing. Keep using combos on him, but be careful, the Dark
Shadow can jump in front of Ansem at times and Guard him. If you get to Dark
Mode, which hopefully you will, you should NOT use Dark Aura. This is the only
time you shouldn't use it. You'll be wasting cards because you'll probably hit
Ansem once out of all the times you bounce around, because Dark Shadow will
keep jumping out and Guard-ing Ansem. The best Sleight to use is Dark Firaga.
Also, do not use Mickey cards by themselves. Wait until you have 3, then stock
them up for a MM Miracle. This just basically does the same as a regular Mickey
card except it'll do a little more damage to Ansem, stun him for a couple more
seconds, and most of the time heal ALL of your health. If the MM Miracle gets
Card Breaked, you're in trouble. Speaking of Card Breaks, do the usual, Card
Break all you can to get into Dark Mode. Also, when you Card Break, Ansem is
stalled for a second and gets pushed back a little.
Finally, don't let Ansem wear you down! Save up cards so you can Stock them and
stop his Sleights like Dark Shadow and the ??? one. If you need health, and you
have no Mickey cards, switch to the Enemy deck and use Oogie Boogie. His card
regenerates your health about every 5 seconds, for 10 times consecutively. That
helps a lot in the fight.
Now, go out there and kick some Ansem butt!
[Note: What sucks is you get no reward, like as in EXP. Oh well.]
-
Ansem calls Riku an insolent brat. He then creates a dark shockwave which
knocks Riku back. Riku is done with Ansem and charges through him with his
sword. Riku tells him he is finished. Ansem tells Riku that he is hardly
finished and that shockwave was used to give Riku the dark. Ansem tells him
that his shadow lingers and that he WILL return. He creates another shockwave
and fades. The screen turns black.
-
Mickey in the form of light comes and asks Riku if he won't mind a LITTLE help.
He tells Riku to come on, and we see their figures appear from the darkness.
They walk forward.
-
They are at the entrance of Castle Oblivion. Mickey asks Riku what he is doing
next, if he is going home. Riku says he doesn't know if he can. He says that
Ansem's scent is still there, faint, but there. He says he can't go home until
Ansem is completely destroyed. Riku says his darkness may still have a hold of
him.
Mickey cheers him up. He tells Riku that his darkness belongs to him, just like
the light. Mickey says that until now, he thought all darkness was bad. He says
that his time spent with Riku changed his mind. He says that Riku chose a way
Mickey never thought of: light and dark, back to back. They mingle in a way
no one's ever seen before, he says.
Mickey says that he wants to see where that road leads. Mickey says if it's ok,
he wants to walk the road with Riku, and he holds out his hand. Riku grabs his
hands and says that he doesn't know what to say. He tells Mickey: "Thanks."
Mickey tells him that Riku doesn't have to call him "Your Majesty."
Riku responds in a friendly way:
"Fair enough, Mickey."
We see a cinema.
-
Riku and Mickey are walking along the roads again, and the hero music starts to
play. They see DiZ.
Riku: "What are you making me choose now?"
DiZ: "Will you take the road to light - or the road to darkness?"
Riku: "Neither. I'm taking the middle road."
DiZ: "You mean the twilit road to nightfall?"
Riku: "No..."
He turns around.
Riku: "The road to dawn."
The cinema fades
-CONGRATULATIONS!-
You have just beaten Riku's Story of Kingdom Hearts - Chain of Memories. Sit
back and watch the variation of the credits and listen to Utada Hikaru's
"Simple and Clean" again. I felt very good at this time. :)
-
We see a big clock tower over a town, with a brown haired boy standing on it.
He is not Sora.
-
We see words appear and fade on a black screen. They read as follows:
Walking this road without you,
to remake forgotten promises,
and meet you at the road's end.
-
We see the end screen, with the picture of Sora from the first title screen,
back to back with the picture of Riku from the second title screen.
