Terra's first world also marks the beginning of his fate. Something happens here that shapes Ventus's and Aqua's stories later on......

Battle: Defeat the Unversed!
(Rewards: N/A)

This is the game's first real battle. From here on, it's game over if you lose.

There will be four types of Unversed encountered in this battle: The Floods, The Bruisers, the Scrappers, and the Red Hot Chillis. The small Unversed, the Floods, sink into the ground if not attacked quickly. They will always appear behind the player in horribly planned sneak attacks. Look for the moving blue dots in the ground to determine where the Floods will pop up and destroy them on sight. They cause minimal damage singularly, but if your'e low on HP, don't rush into a whole pack of them.

The Scrappers are defensive Unversed that will wait for you to make the first move. Do so. If you wait too long, the Scrappers will rush in and attack Terra with their claws. If a pack of them bum-rush you, evade immediately. Look for body movements. If a Scrapper moves it's body or arms, it's about to attack. If they remain still, pummel them into the ground. Note that using Guard is a good tactic if evasion is impossible.

Red Hot Chillis are agile Unversed that are hard to hit. They tend to stay in the air, firing Fire spells from their lids. Terra will have to get up close and personal with these guys. Luckily, they have little to no defensive capability, so they can be destroyed with a single combo. Using certain commands will cause them to fall to the ground, creating an opening to attack.

Bruisers are the epitomes of strength. They do not flinch when damaged with normal combos, making them hard enemies to contend with. They can charge straight at you, jump into the air to create a massive shockwave, and even bounce at you from a distance. All of their attacks can be coutered with Guard, which will instantly stun them for a time. The only way to truly defeat a Bruiser is to use hit-and-run tactics, attacking one or twice and then running away to avoid damage. Magic works wonders against these guys, since the player doesn't even have to be next to them to damage them.

Cutscene: The Chase
After the battle, a Flood will run away from Terra and into the forest.

Before Terra resumes the pursuit, the player should have him go further down the original path for a treasure chest. Don't worry about the green Fire-like barrier. That area will never be acessible to Terra anyway. Once the players has the chest, they should pursue the Flood into an area containg the game's first Sticker. Stickers are optional items spread throughout the Worlds. When the player collects one, they should pause the game and go into their Reports. Once there, they should find the Sticker in their Sticker Colleection and stick it onto the picture shown to earn points. If you collect enough Stickers and get enough points, you'll get items or Commands as Rewards. Most Stickers are in plain sight, but you'll have to return to these worlds late in the game, once you have more abilities to find the harder-to-reach ones!

Once ready, the player should proceed further onto the Castle Bridge, where the next cutscene will take place.

Cutscene: The Sorceress
''Terra walks onto the Bridge to find Maleficent, a mage who, according to her testimony, was the only one unaffected by a curse that descended upon the land, putting all in the world to sleep. Terra asks if she's met Master Xehanort, to which she vaguely replies that she hasn't. She encourages Terra to explore the Castle at the end of the Bridge, an evil smile on her lips. With no other option, Terra proceeds forth.''

While running throughout the various worlds, the player will be attacked by Unversed at any given moment, though in most situations they have a choice between fighting or fleeing. Fighting the Unversed is the best way to level up your character, their Abilities and their Deck Commands. However, the choice is yours....

There are Treasure Chests littered around the Castle's Audience Chamber. There are also Unversed here, too. Claim the Treasure Chests and do what you must. Ignore the Sticker hovering over the throne for now....Terra doesn't have the proper ability to reach it yet.

Continue up the stairs, proceeding down the corridor. There is a Treasure Chest hidden behind a corner at the fork in the hallway. Don't miss it. Walk up to the glowing door and examine it for another cutscene.

Cutscene: Unlocking the Door
''Terra notices a forcefield of some kind is preventing him from entering. With a backwards jump, Terra syummons a stream of Light that unlocks the door instantly.''

Cutscene: Aurora's Heart
''Terra enters the room to see a sleeping woman in a bed. Maleficeent appears and tells Terra that the woman is Princess Aurora. Maleficent enters a rant that explains how she lied to Terra. She HAS met Xehanort. And he has told her that gathering seven Hearts of purest Light will open the power of Kingdom Hearts. Maleficent humbly asks Terra to remove Aurora's Heart for her, promising Terra that she and him would rule the worlds in eexchange. Terra summons his Keyblade in refusal, but Maleficent uses her Magic to control the Darkness in Terra's Heart, forcing him to extract it. As Terra laments his possession, the castle begins to shake. Realizing that the Unversed may destroy the Castle, Terra leaves the room in a hurry.''

After this cutscene, Terra receivees the ability to use Maleficent as a D-Link.

Before roaming the castle again, you should return to Aurora's room and enter the small cavern by the Save Point. Here will be a few Treasure Chests.

Save your game, and if you've unlocked or received any Magic spells, equip one or two. You'll know why in a minute.

Return to the Audience Chamber and prepare to fight Terra's first boss.

Boss Battle: Wheel Master
(Rewards: Deck Capacity Increased! If playing in Critical Mode, there is no Reward, for an extra Command slot is already given upon starting the game.)

The Wheel Master will immediately begin the fight by trying to tangle Terra up in it's thread. If it manages to catch him, it will drag him closer for continual damage. Repeatedly press the X button to break free. Once free, attack the Wheel Master with all you have. Don't go crazy, however. The Master has a few tricks up it's sleeve that can be annoying if unprepared. The Master will slash at Terra with it's two arms if he get too close. If he's too far, the Master will jump into the air and home in on Terra, creating huge shockwaves upon landing, jumping a total of three times. It can also fool you into thinking that it's going to tangle you, only to throw it's wheel at you instead. Stay away from that wheel, because the moment it hits the ground, The Master will jump towards Terra for a shcikwave attack, regaining it's wheel in the process.

The proper way to win this fight is knowing when to fight and when to evade. After the Master attacks, there's a few-second delay that gives Terra an opening. Either use Attack Commands or Magic Spells to deeal damage. If you use Attack Commands, Trra will enter his Critical Impact Command Style, which can be a boon in this fight. Note that Terra can destroy the spindle and Wheel, decreasing the number of attacks this boss can use. If this is done, the boss will nter a brief stunned state, in which HP Orbs will fall to thr ground, replenished much-needed HP.

Onc it's HP is low, it will use another attack. It will charge up on it's hind legs and rush as Terra. Use the Slide Command to stay ahead of this attack.

If you know when to attack and when to run, this battle should not be too much trouble.

Cutscene: It's My Fault
''Terra returns to Aurora's room, blaming himslf for what happened. He promises Auroroa that he'll retrun her Light to her, once he can stand up to his own Darkness. He questions Xehanort's motives and finally leaves the world. Meanwhile, Maleficent considers searching for the Hearts of Light.''

Terra receives the "Three Stars" Keychain upon completing this world.

While it doesn't increase Strength, it does make Terra's Magic a bit stronger.
