Kingdom Hearts Secrets

[@thatgamerguy89]

Ring the bell 3 times, then view the painting near by, then ring it 3 more times. the voice says 3 times. Go into one of the near by rooms and there is a clock hit it to move the clock to the 3 different times and you get a item

If you're talking about the green wall clock in Leon's room.. I'm pretty sure you don't have to do any of that. Just hit the green clock x amount of times and it will reward you.

[@thatgamerguy89]

@@f5203 it’s the clock that’s up high on the wall. Not the tall standing clock. But yeah you could just hit the clock enough and eventually you’ll get the reward but for the whole Easter egg experience you’d want to do it all

Which item?

[@apc_cipher]

I can't believe iconic Disney villain Clayton almost got a Kingdom Hearts branded action figure

[@risdio51]

The funniest thing about being able to leave Captain Hook's arena is that, if you time it right, you can get unlimited EXP from defeating him, walking out the door as he's going through his death animation, coming back and then defeating him again and repeating the whole cycle.

[@HoneycuttVideos]

So a player could, with the right timing, get all the way to level 99 by doing this. This would make for a pretty interesting challenge

[@unawaretoaster]

The clocktower gives an item depending on your save file playtime, one per hour real-time, giving 12 total. An item every 12th hour would be so brutal lol. And in re:coded, Sora has a move where he uses his keyblade by holding onto the chain and swinging it, so kh4 won't be the first time he's done so actually. Love the video btw very well done!

[@theendofit]

Sucks 2hen you miss one as then its every 12 hours lol

[@tberk470]

Sora in KH 4 isn't swinging the chain, the chain is extending like a grappling hook so it's not really the same thing at all. I do like them involving the chain more in combat though

Well, I know you can't get the dream sword but I think the dream sword's blade is inside the ultima weapon. The blade's shape looks exactly the same.

[@f5203]

Now that you mention it, I do see some similarities. Also, the ultima weapons of each numbered title resemble their number. Kh1 has 1 main blade Kh 2 made out of 2 blades, etc..

[@GhosdKid_Gaming]

The dream sword is literally inside the ultimate weapon lol the whole thang down to the handle

[@OmegaGamer104]

KH3 Ultima Weapon is the best by far! Not only does it have the best stats of any Keyblade that Sora can use, especially when fully upgraded to Lv. 10, but it's shaft consists of three blades, AND it has the BEST formchange tied to it! Ultimate Form is Sora at his absolute strongest, without question, and it's a perfectly natural evolution of Final Form in KH2!

[@ne0space]

I think it would have been really cool if they added in Bahamut as a secret summon. Just having a single FF summon as a homage to the FF inspirations would have been a nice touch, imo. Although, I can see why it was cut.

Technically, the destiny sword is inside Ultima Weapon. Kind of a call back to when Cloud got the sword “Ragnarok” and it was suspiciously similar to Ultima weapon in ff7

[@elizabethenley8271]

IDK if anyone has pointed this out. But the dream sword is obtainable, although it is used as the base for the ultima weapon, which was confirmed by one of the devs

[@V33EX]

[@skippy3447]

Actually, kingdom hearts Dream Drop Distance has an attack command called were Sora/Riku hold the chain of the key blade and spin it around like a windmill. So Sora holding the key blade by its chain was actually used prior to KH4

[@alexsotto_tube]

You can challenge Tidus, Selphie and Wakka together on the first day too. You just need to beat them individually before the option pops out talking to Tidus. Also, after Hollow Bastion, in the Rabbit Hole you can obrain a Mega-Elixir from a chest (same place you obtained the Mega-Potion).

[@Meandmyshadowclones]

[@darkriku144]

Technically the Dream Sword is part of the Ultima Weapon's design, so while you can't get the Dream Sword itself back, the Ultima Weapon is kinda sorta if you squint really hard the Dream Sword

[@Charlie-hv3dh]

I'm sure you'd love to know this if you don't already, but there's owl hoots/noises in merlins cave thingy in base kh one! Sadly since data was lost, the remix's/final mix's don't have this little thing anymore- but it's a neat fact.

[@TylerGrennell-pu8xv]

I have the aether PS2 on my phone and with that I play the original final mix and it does have that. Final mix is the Japanese release it has almost everything in the regular American release which is just called Kingdom Hearts. I need fact is that you are wrong you obviously haven't played the Japanese version of final mix. People really need to do their research

[@TylerGrennell-pu8xv]

Like I literally played Kingdom Hearts final mix last night and I have been for the last month because I'm messing with it code wise. Too many people are overlooking things by digging through secrets and getting sidetracked by ones that overlook the others

[@ratchetpokemaster123]

The KH manga is still ongoing, actually! The original manga publishers went out of business years ago while the KH2 manga was being made, with only the original two volumes being released at the time, but overseas the team carried on, even starting an adaptation of 358/2 Days that eventually took over as the priority before finishing KH2! Years later, probably to capitalize on increased hype by KH3's release, we finally got new releases and localizations for the rest of the manga. I think right now the manga is covering KH3, but it's really neat and charming to see how after all this time, the manga still went strong!

[@2097xl]

Actually the items in the clock tower are available every in-game hour. There are 24 doors and each one activates every hour in game, so if you miss the first one you'd have to wait 25 hours for the first door to be active again

[@brotbrotsen1100]

Only 12 doors. So 12 items, one per hour.

In the hotel, after no vacancy, you interact with each painting on each end of the hall. Then hit the bell 3 times again. Then go into one of the rooms and interact with 3 paintings and hit the clock a bunch

[@fugioXD]

My favorite hidden chest is in the green room of the hotel. Hit the clock above the door to the red room 10 times and you get a chest

[@Stostri]

The Wonderland chest at the beginning can actually be spawned 3 times, each with a different reward. The first time is before Alice's trial and rewards a Camping Set, the second time is before rescuing Kairi in Hollow Bastion and rewards a Mega Potion, and the third time is after rescuing Kairi in Hollow Bastion and rewards a Megalixir.

[@DaniKH1]

24:48 This is incorrect. The models aren't the DDD versions. Theyre still the original KH1 models, but they use different textures and UVs. A better explanation: KH1 HD uses the original files from the PS2 release and a new file format, known as .CVBL These new files does contain mesh data. Even though it is identical in geometry, it can also have updated UV values if the textures changed (e.g. Sora). The joints are still in the original MDLS, and unlike the MDLS the associated files (e.g. textures) aren't embedded in the CVBL but are separate files. Those filenames aren't even referenced by the CVBL, so the game engine is doing something to find them and retarget them all on its own. You can still see that Ansem's face shape is the same as the PS2 version, unlike DDD, which is a bit different.

[@prollydatboi8841]

My parents got me the complete series of those kingdom hearts figures as a kid for Christmas. It literally made my entire year LMAO I have them packed away somewhere now in storage, but I think about them sometimes and laugh at their goofy faces

[@DyxoXinoro]

I'm very happy to have a video detailing all of these in one spot, especially one by a smaller creator, but there are two things I can add I didn't see anyone talk about in the comments. Firstly, that beta design for Sora was used as the basis for his Lion form in KH2. So while it didn't come back as is, they still recycled the design later on. Secondly, a while back some of the script for the animated series was leaked, and Jungle Book was meant to show up there in place of Deep Jungle according to one episode title (Man's Red Fire). So that means not only has it gotten shafted _three times_, but all evidence shows the world would have focused on King Louie instead of Sher Khan.

[@t.m.7779]

I don't know if it has been mentioned here in the comments before, but you can walk away from the fight with the Inverse Armor in Traverse Town too when you come back for the second time to fight it in the second district.

[@RandoomDude]

25:03 they didn't "lose" the models they lost the source code which they had to reconstruct from the games disc hexidecimal, if they wanted to use the old models they could but they chose to update it like they did with FFX

[@DarkFrozenDepths]

I remember reading the KH1 manga from my local library.... I completely forgot how much wilder it was to the main series, including that part shown where some random woman tried to pick up Sora like she was talking him into a paid dating thing....

[@The-Polarcool]

Knowing Nomora, he wanted Walt in the game. Wouldve been a cool idea. Imagine having Walt Disney as a summon

[@JDzork]

I really am such a nerd cuz I knew a lot of these facts already but the ones I didn’t know were EXTREMELY fascinating to me. Great video btw. Watching anything KH related makes me happy :)

[@Xemns]

Cool vid! Wanted to add a few things that haven't been mentioned in the comments yet. Cannonly Sora gets the sword according to the shadows cutscene that the title menu plays if you wait a bit. Also, EXP 0 and Combo Master were added into the HD version, but other than that it is very similar mechanically. There are actually 3 chests total you can get in the rabbit hole, each at different points of the story that you have to defeat heartless and come back for. Trickmaster doesn't use fire if you cast blizzard on the grill of the stove during the fight. Wanted to point out that you can miss a hole in the tree house in Deep Jungle. You have to try to fight sabor in the tree house at a very specific time before heartless spawn. Poo gives you a mythril for lighting his fire after you complete all the minigames in 100 acre wood. This game actually lets you sell rare accessories that you can only obtain once for 10 munny which is a weird mechanic. Lastly this is the only game that has the game clock change after 100 hours and it restarts (found this out on Level 1/100% lmao).

[@fvb7]

I've never actually fought maleficent. You can just jump up on the vines and let Donald and Goofy take care of business while you go to school lol

[@ElectricBarrier]

When I first played this game as a kid, I couldn't figure out how to get up to the last platform that leads to the boss of Monstro, because I didn't know about the High Jump chest. I knew about going to Neverland and getting the Glide ability, so I thought that was what I needed. So I left and completed Neverland first. So I naturally saw the alternate cutscene for doing Neverland first, but only the last one and not the others, which confused me. I have all 4 volumes of the Kingdom Hearts manga and 2 of the volumes of 2's manga. They were at a now defunct bookstore chain called "Books-a-Million" in my town, and I bought a bunch of manga there. I saw they were there and said WOAH I GOTTA get that! It's not a bad adaptation, it's got a breakneck pace and really rushes through the storyline quick, but apparently most video game based manga are like that. The FFX situation is actually the opposite, the International version was what first introduced the Dark Aeons and Penance, and the PAL version which was based on it was the only way non-japanese countries got to do that side quest before the remaster was made based on International. Not sure why they called it "International" that time.
