Cheat Kingdom Hearts (PS2)

Secret Bosses

The game includes a few secret battles that may be worth the trouble, especially a couple of new ones that have been added to the American version. All of these are insanely hard, though, and for experts only.

• Sephiroth: The Platinum Match at the Coliseum becomes available after locking the Hollow Bastion Keyhole.
• Ice Titan: The Gold Match at the Coliseum shows up after beating the Hades Cup.
• Phantom: Visit the Clock Tower in Neverland after locking the Hollow Bastion Keyhole.
• Kurt Zisa: Talk to the Carpet in Aladdin's House after locking the Hollow Bastion Keyhole.

Secret Ending

To get a secret ending movie, beat the game with 99 Dalmatians, all Keyholes locked including the Hundred Aker Wood, and the Hades Cup completed.

Mini-Games

After completing the second Traverse Town quest, an old book appears in Merlin's House. Specifically, it's a copy of Winnie-the-Pooh, although it's missing a few pages. To restore the different locations to Pooh's world, and in the process unlock a wide selection of mini-games and hidden items, find the following Torn Pages:

• Traverse Town: Rescue 51 Dalmatians.
• Agrabah: Dark Chamber in the Cave of Wonders.
• Monstro: Chamber 6.
• Halloweentown: The bookcase in the Doctor's Lab.
• Atlantica: Ariel's Grotto.

Note that you can find the pages in any order -- the sections of the Wood are unlocked in the same order regardless of which pages you bring back when.

Trinity Points

Trinity Points are special spots where the three main party members -- Sora, Donald, and Goofy -- can make strange things happen. There are five main types: Blue, Red, Green, Yellow, and White, acquired in that order. As with Dalmatians, Trinity Points gradually become accessible as the game goes on. Revisit old areas with these new abilities to pick up hidden items.

Beat Cereberus In Hades Cup

Assign to your magic shortcut 'cure,' 'cura,' or 'curaga' for easy access. Once the battle starts, jump onto Cereberus' back and lock target onto one of the outer heads. Wait for Cereberus to stop spewing dark magic and fireballs, while you are on its back, the dark magic, and fireballs wont be able to reach you. Once Cereberus starts bitting, jump off of Cereberus' back to attack its heads, until Cereberus backs off to smack the ground with its body.

Answer Me These Questions Three

At the very begining of the game when you are asked three questions, pick the top answers to level up faster generally, pick the bottom answers to level up slower generally.

Coliseum Tournaments

After clearing the Olympus Coliseum area, Sora and company can periodically go back to test their skills in the games and earn fabulous prizes. Keep an eye out for announcements from Chip and Dale after completing major areas -- they'll pipe up and mention when a new tournament has ensued.
When first entering a tournament, the whole party goes. After beating it the first time as a team, Sora can then enter solo, in either an ordinary progression or a high-speed time attack battle. All three of these methods net different prizes, so try all of them to rack up the most goods.
Here's the complete listing of tournaments and competitors (and since we're using the proper names for the monsters here, refer to the Monsters section to figure out what's what -- for example, a "Powerwild" is one of the Monkey Heartless from Deep Jungle).
Phil Cup
This is the first tournament, which begins after Sora locks the Traverse Town Keyhole.
1. 4 Powerwilds, 3 Soldiers
2. 1 Powerwild, 2 Green Requiems, 2 Red Nocturnes, 5 Yellow Operas
3. 1 Hammerlegs, 4 Powerwilds
4. 5 Red Nocturnes, 5 Yellow Operas
5. 1 Large Body, 5 Powerwilds
6. 1 Gauntlets, 3 Blue Rhapsodies, 4 Shadows
7. 2 Large Bodies, 6 Green Requiems
8. 1 Gauntlets, 1 Hammerlegs, 4 Powerwilds
9. 1 Armored Torso, 4 Yellow Operas, 4 Blue Rhapsodies.
Beat the Phil Cup to earn an upgrade to Sora's command of the Gravity spell.
Pegasus Cup
The second tournament is tougher, and features some familiar faces at the very end. This tournament becomes available after the party completes the Monstro area.
1. 2 Search Ghosts, 1 Bandit, 3 Air Soldiers
2. 4 Shadows, 3 Barrel Spiders, 2 Bandits
3. 2 Large Bodies, 1 Pot Spider, 1 Barrel Spider, 1 Fat Bandit
4. 5 Pot Spiders, 3 Yellow Operas, 2 Green Requiems
5. 4 Search Ghosts, 2 Fat Bandits
6. 3 Black Fungi
7. 5 Pot Spiders, 5 Barrel Spiders
8. 3 Fat Bandits, 3 Large Bodies
9. Leon and Yuffie
Yep, the bosses of this tournament are our friendly bounty hunters from Traverse Town. Yuffie is the one to smack first, since she possesses healing abilities, and the clever fighter can knock her shuriken back at her. Against Leon, get well out of the way when he charges up his Gunblade for a running slash. Victory earns the Strike Raid ability for Sora.
Hercules Cup
Finish out the second ring of areas, including sealing off Halloweentown and Neverland, to unlock the third Cup. This one is quite tough, and features the return of Cloud in the middle of the ladder. However, the party wins some great extras for completing this tournament.
1. 5 Gargoyles, 3 Shadows
2. 4 Wight Knights, 2 Barrel Spiders, 1 Air Pirate
3. 4 Pirates, 1 Battleship
4. 4 Gargoyles, 3 Wight Knights
5. 1 Rare Truffle (cast Gravity to beat him)
6. Cloud
7. 2 Air Pirates, 2 Pirates, 2 Gargoyles, 1 Wight Knight
8. 2 Pirates, 2 Battleships, 1 Air Pirate
9. Hercules
Hercules himself is pretty tough, although perhaps not quite as tough as Cloud, who is as annoying as Riku. Herc is invulnerable at times, though, while he's glowing yellow. To kill that invulnerability, bean him with a barrel (especially when he says "Hey, give up yet?" and poses), then attack while he's briefly vulnerable.
Finishing the Hercules Cup nets all kinds of stuff. Goofy gets Herc's Shield, Sora gets the Metal Chocobo keychain after beating Cloud and the Olympia keychain for finishing the first three tournaments, and beating the tournament also opens up the potential to use Yellow Trinity points. The first Yellow Trinity to hit is in the lobby of the Coliseum, where Sora can lock the Coliseum Keyhole.

Dalmation Locations

Pongo and Perdy's 99 puppies are lost throughout the various worlds, and Sora can earn some valuable rewards by finding all of them. The Dalmatians are located in sets of 3, 33 sets in all, mostly in treasure chests located throughout every world.
When hunting for Dalmatians, remember that some of them require abilities that the party hasn't acquired yet. The quest backtracks through areas like Traverse Town multiple times, so don't go crazy looking for Dalmatians that it seem to be impossible to reach. Chances are, the game will bring Sora back there with the tools necessary to grab those Dalmatians later on.
Traverse Town
1, 2, 3: The seemingly unreachable island across from Merlin's House. Come here after acquiring the Glide ability in Neverland, well into the game. Then it's easy to fly to the island.
4, 5, 6: Behind the Red Trinity in the District 1 alley. Come here after acquiring the Red Trinity ability, once all of the first ring of worlds is cleared.
7, 8, 9: In the Item Workshop, above Cid's Accessory Shop. Reach this by using the Green Trinity in the Shop.
10, 11, 12: Hidden in the Secret Waterway, again blocked by a Red Trinity.

16, 17, 18: On one of the high platforms in the Lotus Forest.
19, 20, 21: In the Tea Party Garden. Sora needs the High Jump ability to get here, so come back after completing the Monstro area.
58, 59, 60: In another nook in the Queen's Castle -- turn the faucet in the Bizarre Room and jump in the pot.
Olympus Colosseum
22, 23, 24: In the Blue Trinity to the right of the main gate.

Halloweentown
40, 41, 42: In the Bridge area, just before the entrance to Oogie's Manor.
64, 65, 66: In a treasure chest in the Graveyard, which remains hidden until after Oogie is destroyed and Sora seals the Keyhole.

As the party gathers Dalmatians, go back to Pongo and Perdy's house in Traverse Town to periodically receive rewards. It's also cute to check out the Dalmatians at play, as the house gradually fills up. Here's the reward structure for snagging all the Dalmatians:
12 puppies: Curaga-G Gummi Block
21 puppies: Firaga-G Gummi Block
30 puppies: Thundara-G Gummi Block
42 puppies: Mythril Shard (weak!)

Defeat The Phantom

NOTE: To find this "extra" boss return to the Neverland ClockTower after locking Hallow Bastion.
Before entering the battle be sure to have plenty of Magic and lots of ethers or mid-ethers and have Donald in your party. Having the upgraded Stopra Spell also helps. When the battle begins, Phantom will cast "Doom" spells on your party. This spell counts down and when time is up, the victim of the spell "dies". To stop the countdown, target the clock in the background and cast stop on it. Now turn your attention to the Phantom.
The Phantom only takes damage according to the color of its heart. If the heart is red use fire attacks, yellow use thunder, blue use ice, green use aero, purple use gravity, and if its white use a physical attack. Now keep an eye on the clock, if it starts ticking again, just use the stop spell on it again. For beating Phantom you recieve the upgraded Stopga spell and The Phantoms file in your journal.

Mugging For Cash, Disney Style

If you are seriously low on cash, go to the Gizmo shop in the second district of Traverse Town and attack the Heartless. You won't really need potions and it'll be quick and dirty.

Kill Behemoth

If you chose the sword at the start of the game this'll be easy. But in case you didn't, or gave up the sword during the adventure, here's how you beat the Behemoth the second time you visit Hollow Bastion:
Jump on its back and wait till it raises its head; his horn will be vulnerable only them. Don't use magic because the Behemoth is resistant against magic. Make sure you don't fall of its back or you'll get attacked.

Tips to beat Cerberus

You will need at least five (5) potions for this battle. Also you will need to be at least at level ten (10). When he starts to throw fire balls at you block them with your attack. When he starts biting at you make sure you don't try to block the bite. When he starts to spit out black stuff run and do not stop until the dark holes on the ground disappear. You will need Guard, Scan, Second Chance, and Sonic Blade to beat Cerberus.
