Walk past the rockslide, through the sunny opening in the cave. Defeat the Soldiers in the clearing and drop down at the end of the path to be introduced to Earth Cores, including one in the form of a sand monster. This worm-like sand formation can be defeated instantly with Goofy Bombardier, as Goofy will enter through its mouth after Sora launches him and destroy it from the inside. As for the rest of the Earth Cores, avoid hitting their spiked backs, as this will do no damage to them; target their faces or use magic to attack it from any angle. Return to the cave by climbing up the walls and take the other path there for a scene. Continue along the path for another scene, this time leading into a boss fight. | Walk past the rockslide, through the sunny opening in the cave.

===Boss: Rock Titan=== | |||
[[File:KH3 screen Olympus cliff.jpg|thumb|left|Drop off the edge of the cliff here to find a chest.]] | |||
Before you can begin to do any damage to the Rock Titan, you'll have to reach it. Run up the walls, dodging the boulders thrown by the Rock Titan in the process, to reach the top. The sky will darken upon doing so. Before proceeding forward, drop off at the leftmost edge of the cliff. You can turn your camera downward before doing so to find your target: a chest on a low ledge that sticks out of the cliffside. Inside is an '''AP Boost'''. Run back upward and follow the path to continue your pursuit of the Rock Titan. | |||
[[File:KH3 screen Olympus rocks.jpg|thumb|right|Steer clear of the massive boulders, as they're much more difficult to dodge than their smaller variants.]] | |||
Inside the cave, run up a wall to the left and jump across to another ledge to find a chest containing a '''Hi-Ether'''. Outside the cave, fight off some Shadows and Air Soldiers. Past them, run up one last wall to finally reach the Rock Titan. Start by attacking its feet, dodging away when it raises its foot as an indication of a coming attack. This may take some time due to the amount of health that both legs have, but patience is key, especially on Critical. Once the health of both legs have been depleted, run toward the sparkling footholds that allow Sora to reach the Rock Titan's heads. Attack them to chip away at the Rock Titan's actual health. Eventually, an attraction prompt for the Mountain Coaster should pop up. | |||
The Mountain Coaster allows you to shoot at the Rock Titan's heads from a distance, doing damage much more easily. At times, when the coaster nears the Rock Titan, Goofy will warn Sora of the monster's fist swinging in the coaster's direction. Shoot at it before the circle that surrounds the fist disappears completely to fend it off, allowing the coaster to continue its offense. When the attraction begins to run low on time, make sure to use its finisher for a firework explosion. Afterward, the health of the Rock Titan's legs will have been restored, requiring you to repeat the process. Fully deplete the health of its heads to defeat it. | |||
Continue along the summit, taking the left path at the split to find a chest containing '''Fluorite'''. Eventually, you should come across some rocks blocking the path. Hit them for access to a save point and a new area. | |||
==Realm of the Gods== | |||
[[File:KH3 screen Olympus Trinity Guard.jpg|thumb|right|Trinity Guard is immensely helpful in this otherwise difficult battle.]] | |||
Your time in this unearthly realm begins with a mini-boss battle. The Satyrs charge toward Sora, Donald, and Goofy at a quick pace, launching them into the air and dealing considerable damage. Dodge them as best as you can, casting magic once they've regrouped and striking if possible, until the Trinity Guard prompt pops up. This team attack allows the party to not only block the attacks of the Satyrs, but charge through them themselves. Continue until the armor gauge is depleted, after which point they'll be split up and significantly weakened. Clean up the crowd to conclude the battle. | |||
===Courtyard, Corridors, and Cloud Ridge=== | |||
You can now begin exploring the Realm of the Gods. On either side of this initial area are chests, the one between pink crystals containing a '''Potion''' and the other containing a '''Refocuser'''. Proceed up the stairs to find another set of stairs, but before continuing upward, head through the passage beneath the staircase to find a chest containing '''Fluorite'''. Now follow the path up the many stairs until you come upon another sand worm, Soldiers, and Shadows. Defeat them before continuing up to a platform, where you can save and open a chest containing '''Map: Realm of the Gods'''. | |||
[[File:KH3 screen Olympus rail.jpg|thumb|right|Fire at the Heartless before they can fire back.]] | |||
Ignore the narrow set of stairs to the right now and continue forward, toward a rail of light. After being introduced to the relatively simple controls, get on the rail to begin the simple mini-game. Continuously shoot orbs of light at the weak Heartless to destroy them before they can deal any damage to Sora. Prepare your aim after entering the cloud tunnel, as the fire Heartless in particular are capable of dealing decent damage, especially in large groups. Dodge the fireballs with a jump if necessary, but focus first and foremost on shooting down all Heartless in sight. | |||
Upon surviving the rail shooter, open the nearby chest for another '''Refocuser'''. Through the passageway is a Heartless ambush, consisting of Air Soldiers and Bizarre Archers. Use magic to stun them from afar and finish them off with Keyblade strikes. Up another set of stairs, walk up a narrow ramp past some columns. Jump off from here and land on the clouds below to end up back at the Corridors. Follow the path right, and then right again into a narrow hallway. Sora can glide along the stream here to find himself in a large room containing numerous Soldiers and Air Soldiers. From here, proceed down a ramp toward another stream of water. Make a left turn after gliding along it to find some stairs. Past them is a chest containing a '''Mythril Shard'''. | |||
[[File:KH3 screen Olympus airstepping.jpg|thumb|right|Aim at your desired destination in Shotlock mode to airstep to it.]] | |||
Past the chest is another stream of water. Glide along it to come across a waterfall, which you can follow to the Secluded Forge. At the center of the area, the party can use the Mad Tea Cups to line up the two cauldrons with the sole stationary cauldron. Doing so will allow you to obtain '''Knight's Shield+''' for Goofy. Use the rail ahead to exit the area. Defeat the Satyr, Bizarre Archer, and Air Soldier Heartless that appear. Past them is an introduction to airstepping, a new ability that Sora now has access to. Aim as you would for a Shotlock attack and use the button prompted once the target is locked onto the sparkling point up high. Sora will navigate the rubble without any other effort on your part in order to reach the point that has been targeted. | |||
After airstepping for the first time, you should notice a giant red box that cannot be broken into with normal strikes. Ignore it for now and turn around to spot another sparkling point up high. Airstep to it and turn back to the box; jumping down toward it from here should give you the option to strike it in midair with a powerful diving attack. This should be enough to break open the box, allowing Sora to open the chest for an '''Elixir''' within. Airstep back up to the highest point to find another chest nearby, containing a '''Potion'''. From here, follow the ramp up to airstep one last time, to the Apex where Zeus is struggling against Hades' forces. Approach the massive gates to begin the final boss fight. | |||
===Bosses: Ice Titan, Lava Titan, and Tornado Titan=== | |||
====Phase 1==== | |||
[[File:KH3 screen Olympus boss 1.jpg|thumb|left|You can airstep directly to the Titans to begin your attack.]] | |||
This final boss fight may appear daunting due to the sheer size and quantity of powerful foes, but both the Ice Titan and Lava Titan should be defeated easily as long as you dodge their attacks from time to time. Start by airstepping to the top of the mound in order to reach either Titan's head, as their bodies cannot be targeted for attack. You can also airstep directly to the Titan that you wish to attack first, be it Ice or Lava. If you remain on the ground long enough, the Titans will shoot beams of their respective elements in Sora's direction, which can be evaded with a well-timed airstep or a dodge roll. | |||
[[File:KH3 screen Olympus boss 2.jpg|thumb|right|If you fall down to the ground, a team attack such as Flare Force should get you right back up the mound.]] | |||
Use simple Keyblade strikes once in close proximity to either Titan's head in order to deal considerable damage. You can also use Water magic against the Lava Titan or Fire magic against the Ice Titan if attacking from a distance, though take caution in attacking either with the right element, as Water does no damage to the Ice Titan, nor does Fire damage the Lava Titan. Otherwise, maintain an air combo by continuously attacking the Titan's head before Sora can fall back down to the ground. You'll have to dodge some beams of lava or ice occasionally, but the attacks are infrequent enough so as to not greatly disrupt your assault even if Sora does take a hit. Additionally, if you do fall down to the ground, Donald's Flare Force will not only place you back on the mound near the Titans' weak points, but deal a large amount of damage to both. Make sure to make use of any formchanges or team attacks that become available to you. | |||
[[File:KH3 screen Olympus boss 3.jpg|thumb|left|Time the joining of the rings around the carousel to button presses in order to maximize damage.]] | |||
Lastly, there is the Magic Carousel. This attraction requires some synchronization on your part, as a well-timed button press will do considerably more damage than one that is not. Simply press the button prompted as soon as the inner ring overlaps with the outer ring. This will cause the carousel to increase in speed and consequently, attack power. Make sure to use the finish before the Magic Carousel reaches its time limit for a magical explosion. | |||
Occasionally, the Tornado Titan will make an appearance in order to push the party away from the Ice and Lava Titans using its powerful winds. Simply airstep back into position in that case, before either Titan can shoot beams of ice or lava at you. Take note that, when attacking one Titan, the other will pay you no mind; only the Titan being attacked will react with some defensive offense of its own. Therefore, you should focus on one Titan at a time, diminishing its health before turning your attention to the other. Defeat both Titans to gain access to the final elusive Titan. | |||
====Phase 2==== | |||
The Tornado Titan will start by shooting debris at you. Dodge between it and run toward the Tornado Titan's bottom as soon as you get the opportunity, as this is the only part of it that you can target. You should be able to get a few hits in before it expands, pushing Sora away and dealing some damage in the process. You can also use Shotlock here, though the limited Focus gauge ensures that Shotlock cannot be relied on too often. | |||
[[File:KH3 screen Olympus boss 4.jpg|thumb|right|Airstep to debris when in midair in order to reach the Tornado Titan more quickly.]] | |||
When the Tornado Titan sucks Sora in, it will spit him back up into the air and throw lava and ice (acquired from their respective Titans) in his direction. This must be dodged in addition to the debris, though this segment of the battle ultimately presents an advantage, as falling close enough to the Titan allows Sora to land a powerful strike on it (as long as you make sure to press the button prompted). This segment is followed by one in which Sora continues to float in midair, but instead faces the Tornado Titan horizontally. The Titan can now be targeted near its eyes. Airstep to some debris near the Tornado Titan to reach it more quickly, allowing you more opportunity to attack before it can counter. Now would also be a good time to use Shotlock attacks. | |||
The Tornado Titan can also shoot debris, lava, and ice in midair, in which case a midair dodge should be sufficient (which acts similar to the dodge roll). Eventually, you will find yourself back on the clouds, and the Tornado Titan's attacks cycle. Defeat it to earn an increase in Sora's maximum HP and clear the world. | |||
