Previously, after Data-Sora cleared cleared Agrabah, Maleficent and Pete caused some mayhem. Sora is now on Hollow Bastion without his Keyblade, and Riku is the evil fairy's captive. Now, Sora will begin exploring Hollow Bastion.

In the Castle Gates area, he approaches the large gates in the north (time 0:22). Unfortunately, they are locked. Sora will need to find the switch to open them.

In the southeast of the area, Sora takes the elevator down to the Waterway (time 0:49). Yes, Pete has definitely "rigged" this place.

To the east, he examines the blue switch (time 1:17). Whenever Sora hits a blue switch, a red switch will activate somewhere close by. He will have a limited time to reach and examine the red switch. In this case, he has just ten seconds to hit the nearby red switch. Fortunately, there are no obstacles. When he does, the door past the switch slides open (time 1:32).

Past a blox blockade, Sora will find a second blue switch to the northwest (time 1:50). The matching red switch lights up down the hall to the east. This time, he has twenty seconds to reach it, but several moving blox will try to sweep him out of the way. Triggering the blast block will help clear some of the damage blox, but be careful doing it.

Sora hits the red switch (time 2:07). This lights up a switch on a nearby control panel.

Sora hits the new switch (time 2:15). It opens the doors upstairs.

Sora takes the elevator back up to the Castle Gates area (time 2:36).

He heads through the now open gates to the Entrance Hall (LL) (time 2:59). As he arrives, Pete summons blox to hem him in and Heartless to "play nice" with him.

After the scene, Sora will have to survive a group of Heartless for a while (time 3:49). It's just a group of Shadows and Blox Bugs.

When Sora has survived for long enough another scene takes place (time 4:21). Goofy rushes in to the rescue! After some dialogue, he will join Sora to help him out.

Afterwards, there is a tutorial on Goofy's assistance (time 5:54). By pressing A, you can cycle through three different AI settings for Goofy: following Sora, attacking Heartless, and destroying blox. He will prioritize locked-on targets. Also, the attack commands in Sora's deck will change to commands for Goofy. Goofy Tornado is probably the best choice. Installing Potion or Hi-Potion commands will enable you to heal Sora when needed. It would be nice to have a way to issue battle commands to the party in Kingdom Hearts III...

When the battle begins, just avoid the enemies and let Goofy smack them (time 6:33). Be sure to set him to attack Heartless.

Another scene occurs after the battle (time 6:50). Apparently, Donald is here somewhere, too. The party will have to keep an eye out for the mad quacker while they search for Pete.

Afterwards, Sora is finally free to explore the Entrance Hall (LL) (time 7:21). "Normal" enemies will appear here now, including Darkballs and Defenders. The Defenders are a pain in the butt because they are only vulnerable to attack from the rear.

Up the stairs and to the right, there are some blox, including a rare prize block (time 9:01). Sora will have to set Goofy to destroy blox to destroy these. The rare prize block contains a Cura command.

Sora sets up some attack commands so he can issue commands to Goofy.

Another scene occurs as Sora approaches the northern door (time 10:18). To get through, he will have to find pieces of the Heartless emblem to fit into the slots on the door.

Sora takes the western door to Library 1 (time 11:02). He finds the first Emblem Piece right on the table within. There is also a dull red switch in here, but Sora cannot activate it yet.

Back out in the Entrance Hall (LL), another scene occurs (time 11:23). Sora and Goofy sight Donald rushing outside. Hunt that duck!

Sora exits to the Castle Gates (time 11:49). With Goofy along for the ride, he can now begin taking out blox and Heartless.

After the first Heartless, Sora gains a Level Up chip (time 12:10). When he installs it between two linked CPUs, he jumps from Level 31 to Level 33.

Using some bounce blox, Sora can reach the high platform east of the main gate. There, he finds a rare prize block containing an Aero +1 (time 13:09). As he installs stat chips below the second Haste ability, he blows away another Bug Chip: R with a Debug Device: R.

In the southeast, a rare prize block in a tower of blox contains another Debug Device: R (time 13:48).

The description is continued in the comments.
