Previously, Data-Sora completed Hollow Bastion Part 2. Now, instead of the ending credits, the game is making us briefly revisit Castle Oblivion. If you insist, game. Sora met a hooded figure who gave him a key card for Destiny Islands.

Sora approaches the northern door in the Entrance Hall (time 0:21). When he uses the Destiny Islands card, he arrives in a room with images from the islands. The hooded interloper tells Sora that he will meet illusions of people from Jiminy's Journal here. Remember, Data-Sora's memories have been reset, so he will not remember what has happened earlier in the game. As the hooded man says, there is no need to do things in the same sequence you did earlier in this game. In fact, there are multiple ways to do things in these rooms.

Afterwards, Sora gains control in the Destiny Islands simulation (time 2:31). Before talking to Selphie, he will bust up blocks for treasures.

In the northeast corner, a rare prize block contains a Strength +4 stat chip (time 2:55).

On the northern platform, a rare prize block contains an HP +8 (time 3:32).

Sora will first go for the W1 Normal Card. To start with, he talks to Selphie in the northwest corner (time 3:50). As far as she is concerned, she's on the island, not in a castle. Either option will do when she asks Sora to investigate the blocks.

Then, in the middle of the room, he talks to Wakka (time 5:18). Wakka is worried about Tidus, who went to investigate the blocks. When he asks Sora to help, Sora should choose, "Sure!" The hooded man pops up to tell Sora that there are alternate ways to do things.

On the northern platform, Sora finally talks to Tidus (time 6:27). Tidus challenges Sora to a fight before he will reveal the clue he earned.

The battle with Tidus is not very difficult (time 7:12). At the end, Sora earns a Level Up chip (time 7:28).

Another scene plays after the battle (time 7:31). Tidus speaks of a suspicious stranger.

After the scene, Sora plugs in his new Level Up chip (time 7:58). He jumps to Level 57.

On the southern platform, he talks to the hooded figure (time 8:24). The hood vanishes, but Sora obtains the W1 Normal Card.

Another scene takes place out in the Entrance Hall (time 8:42). Unfortunately, Sora can no longer remember who was in the illusion. Sora will earn a different Ending Card based on the actions he performed in each card-world. Each card-world has three possible endings. The normal ending follows what was written in the journal, while the extra and alternate endings do not. For the best rewards, Sora will have to get all three endings for each card-world. The hood gives Sora cards for Traverse Town, Wonderland, Olympus Coliseum, Agrabah, and Hollow Bastion.

After regaining control, Sora returns to the Destiny Islands simulation (time 14:12). Next, he will go for the W1 Alternate Card.

First, he talks to Selphie again (time 14:35). When she asks for help, Sora must choose, "Can't right now." Even though it's very un-Sora-like.

Then, Sora talks to Wakka (time 16:03). Again, when Wakka asks for help, Sora must be unhelpful and choose, "I'm kinda busy..." Selphie will show up and warn that the blocks have surrounded Tidus!

On the northern platform, Sora must excavate poor Tidus from the blox (time 17:13). A scene takes place. Sora decides he should have helped his friends when they asked. The scene abruptly ends, and Sora obtains the W1 Alternate Card.

Sora returns to the Destiny Islands simulation one more time (time 18:31). Now, he will work toward the W1 Extra Card.

Again, he first talks to Selphie (time 18:52). When she asks for his help, he must say, "Okay!"

Behind some blocks in the northeast, Sora will find a shiny (time 20:20). The hooded man will show up, and then Sora will have to fight three Shadows.

Then, another shiny will be behind the southeast blocks (time 20:43). The hood shows up and leaves Sora with six Shadows to defeat.

Another scene occurs after the encounter (time 21:10). This time, it seems to be Riku he's seeing. He shows Sora a "hidden truth." Riku was on the Neverland clock tower with Kairi. Riku gives Sora a bit of a pep talk ... which, unfortunately, Sora won't remember. Afterwards, Sora gets the W1 Extra Card.

Next time, Sora will continue exploring and forgetting Castle Oblivion's card-worlds.

Thank you for watching!
