Strategies and Cheats in Kingdom Hearts II

Disney and Square-Enix’s Kingdom Hearts II was one of the most anticipated action RPGs of 2006, and fans flocked to stores to buy it. After playing the game for hours, many gamers find themselves looking for ways to cut short some of the more tedious activities required to accomplish everything in the game.

Leveling Up Forms and Summons
One of these tedious chores is to reach level 7 with all of Sora’s forms (Valor, Wisdom, Master, and Final) and summons (Stitch, Peter Pan, Chicken Little, and Genie). Along with reaching level 99, this is required to open the Hades Paradox Cup. While there is no way to level up the forms and summons automatically, there are several places where you can gain experience quickly.

Leveling up the forms takes a lot of time because the form gauge has to be refilled after each form is used. There are several ways around this. One is the tournaments. By entering a tournament, Sora’s drive gauge is instantly refilled. All you have to do is then pause the game and quit the tournament to get a full drive gauge.

Another trick is to change into a form, use up nearly all the drive gauge, and then enter an area where Donald and Goofy are wondering around on their own and you can talk to them. While this happens in just about every world, generally they stop wondering around after certain story events. One place where they do not is on the Black Pearl. Any time you’re on the ship, you should see Donald, Goofy, and Captain Jack walking around on their own. If you return to the ship from any location while in a form or with a summon, Sora will revert to normal and his drive gauge will be refilled. You must still be in a form or have a summon with you when you enter the Black Pearl, however, in order for this to work.
