Previously, after defeating the evil Jafar in Agrabah, the party took care of Vexen's Absent Silhouette and redid the Magic Carpet minigame. In Agrabah's Desert Ruins, they had come across the final set of Torn Pages for Pooh's storybook, so now it is time to help Pooh for the final time. At least until Kingdom Hearts III.

So, they return to Hollow Bastion and land in Merlin's House (time 0:41). There, Sora enters Pooh's storybook (time 0:59). The final page resolves into a starry hill on the lower part of the right-hand page.

Right away, Sora enters the Starry Hill area (time 1:51). As he arrives, he finds that Pooh is in a spot of bother. He's been snagged by a face-sucking alien! Oh wait, his head is just stuck inside his honey pot. Either way, Sora must now help him out. But first, he will explore the Starry Hill for treasure.

Along the western boundary, there is a large treasure chest containing the Cosmic Ring (time 2:33). This increases AP by 8. Goofy is definitely getting this.

In the northeast, there is a chest containing a Style Recipe (time 3:10). This recipe is for the Petite Ribbon.

Northwest of the hill, there is a "Daylight" Puzzle Piece (time 4:04). Snagging this requires at least High Jump and Aerial Dodge. This piece depicts Sora's face and left shoulder on the left, Riku's right shoulder area on the right. It goes in the second slot from the right on the third row from the top. This puzzle is nearing completion!

Atop the hill, Sora chooses to help poor Pooh bear (time 4:55). This starts the final 100 Acre Wood minigame, "The Hunny Pot." This one is pretty easy just to complete. You have to let the Power gauge get high and then hit the Triangle button to start spinning Pooh. Then, you have to press Triangle to stop spinning and propel the honey pot off his head. Pretty easy.

When it is done, Sora and Pooh have a nice conversation on the log bench (time 5:49). Then, the whole gang shows up to give Sora a sweet send-off. An interesting change comes over the moon as we pan out, and the storybook is better than ever.

After the scenes, Sora gets another Cure Element (time 8:29). This upgrades his Cura spell to Curaga. He also obtains an Orichalcum+, an extremely rare synthesis ingredient. The player obtains the trophy "Always Together" for completing the 100 Acre Wood.

We regain control in Merlin's House (time 8:58). I will give the Cosmic Ring to Goofy because he is quite low in the AP department.

Sora then reenters the 100 Acre Wood (time 10:36). He first checks in with everyone in the peaceful storybook land.

When he is done with that, he heads back to the Starry Hill (time 14:13). There, he helps Pooh by playing the Hunny Pot minigame again (time 14:34). This time, Jiminy wants Sora to get a score of 8,000 or more. The key is to get the Power gauge as high as possible before hitting Triangle the first time, then just mash the Triangle button again. There is a bit of luck involved, as well. If the pot goes out straight ahead, you will get a highter score.

After a few tries, Sora gets the score he needs (time 16:03).

Afterwards, Sora reviews the new Journal entries for the 100 Acre Wood (time 16:29). There are now some Album entries. The 100 Acre Wood minigames and missions are now concluded, as well. They are not as difficult as some other missions, I would say, notably the point missions for certain Cups at Olympus Coliseum.

When he is done here, Sora exits the storybook (time 19:20). Now, to turn in that new Style Recipe and the Orichalcum+.

The party heads out to the Borough (time 20:10) and then south to the Marketplace (time 20:47). At the Marketplace, Sora turns in the Style Recipe and Orichalcum+ to Mog for synthesis (time 21:00). The Style Recipe reveals the recipe for the Petite Ribbon. The upgraded version, Ribbon, is an excellent armor for any character.

After doing a little shopping, the party heads back to Merlin's House (time 23:56). In the next episode, they will make their way back to Halloween Town.

Thank you for watching!
