Examine it to activate the lift for the rest of the ride. Defeat them all and a machine will appear in the center of the lift. When it gets halfway, it will stop and Heartless will appear. The lift will start slowly passing in front of the castle. From there, head up the small flight of steps and examine the next machine to be transported into the large lift. When you’ve cleared the area, examine the nearby machine to be brought to the next level. If you do, you’ll be dropped down to the “Base Level” and you’ll have to climb all the way back up to this area. While out here, it is very important to fight off the Heartless that appear without falling off of the edge. Head straight through this first section and into the next area, which is another section of the “Castle Gates”. The “Lift Stop” is a reoccurring area that features many sections that all lead to different parts of the enormous castle. Bring the emblem pieces back to the emblem in the middle to complete the puzzle.Īfter you put all the pieces of the puzzle into the Heartless emblem, the door will open. Inside the chest will be an emblem piece. It must be pushed to show a treasure chest on the lower level (the level between the base and the highest level).

In between the first and second beast heads, there is another statue.

The fire on the chandelier hanging in the middle of the room will go out, and you'll be free to snatch the emblem piece there. There will be about two more statues where you'll have the same objective. There will be a statue that looks like the head of a beast. Move forward to a statue against the wall. This will reveal another piece of the Heartless emblem. The three will push it, and the statue will fall to the ground and shatter. Walk a little further on this level to see a red Trinity mark in front of a statue. A piece of the Heartless emblem will come out of the waterfall. A cutscene will show a waterfall begin at the fountain in front of the Entrance Hall, on the base level. Next to where you enter, you should see a statue that, when examined, says "O mighty one.Show me your crushing power." Destroy the two pots on either side of it and the statue will sink a little into the ground. Go through the unlocked door and you'll find what it leads to - a higher level of the Entrance Hall. All that's left will be retracing your steps back to the Castle Gates. Release the stone here to get the elevator moving, and Release the stone here to complete the puzzle. Release this to finally open the path to a bubble. The passage that you opened will lead to a stone on the ground. From where you're locked in, go left and then forward for another stone to Release. Go to the stone on the left and press Release. This will reveal the puzzle of the Waterway. Walk into it to be teleported once again. This reveals an area with another bubble. Call Beast to the gate (the last option on the command menu) and he'll break it open. Here will be a Save Point, a treasure chest, and a gate. Walk into the bubble on the right to teleport to another new area. You'll then end up to a place similar to where you started. Go down the stairs to the right of you and you'll come across a floating crystal sphere covered in lightning bolts. It takes a while to defeat the Heartless with just a Wooden Sword, so it's best to leave these to the Beast. Keep moving forward to see the path marked as Castle Gates, and an elevator will be called to get you there. Eventually, you'll reach a single platform with nowhere else to turn. Keep using the platforms to get higher up.
