Part 22

Guide to Part 22 of Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX: Defeat Barbossa, protect the medallion, and navigate the Isla de Muerta. Includes boss strategy and item locations.

Speak with Jack and set course for the Black Pearl, this will cause a battle to break out on deck. Defeat the Heartless then you'll arrive at the Isla de Muerta. Head up into the next area where you'll face a new Heartless, the Air Pirate.

Air Pirate — HP: 51, Experience: 50, Drops: Dark Crystal (8%), Bright Crystal (4%). Air Pirates aren't that difficult; a Thunder or Blizzard spell is good enough to bring one down. Aerial Combos are the best way to deal with Air Pirates, but if you are clever you can hit the Air Pirate once and create some space. This will force the Heartless to charge you and allow for the Reaction Command "Air Twister" to be used against the other Heartless in the area. Defeat this Heartless when you have the chance; it isn't a high priority.

Open the two chests in this area to find a [BRIGHT SHARD] (8/14) and a [MYTHRIL SHARD] (9/14). As you move to the next area you are forced to survive for 1 minute against the Undead Pirates, a simple task. After the scene you receive the [ISLA DE MUERTA MAP] and must sail back to Port Royal.

Protect the Medallion

You don't actually make it to Port Royal; the Black Pearl intercepts the Interceptor and you must protect the medallion. If an Undead Pirate takes it then you have 1 minute to get it back. Use the cannons to blast the Black Pearl and temporarily halt their cannon fire to ease things up.

• BONUS: Aerial Spiral (Sora), Draw (Donald), HP +5 (Goofy)

After a scene you are stuck on the ship and there are five burning barrels of gunpowder that are about to blow the ship into pieces. It's far from a difficult task; run around the ship and press Triangle to smash the barrels out into the sea, addressing the ones that start to flash with priority. Air Pirates and Cannon Guns will try to stop you, but you don't need to defeat them.

• BONUS: Item Slot (Sora), HP +4 (Donald), Second Chance (Goofy), HP +10 (Jack)

Breaking the Curse

Back on the Isla de Muerta you can challenge Larxen's Absent Silhouette now; it's located just outside the save point. Continue on to the next area here, blowing up the crates to keep the Undead Pirates in moonlight. Open the chest to the left for an {AP BOOST] (11/14) then continue onward. Defeat some more Undead Pirates and claim two puzzle pieces, [HEART #5] and [TWO SIDES #4]. The last hidden area has a chest with another [AP BOOST] (10/14), grab it and head to the Moonlight Nook. Defeat the Undead Pirates here and loot the three chests to find a [MYTHRIL SHARD] (12/14), [SERENITY GEM] (13/14), and a [POWER STONE] (14/14). Enter the final area for the boss fight against Barbossa!

BOSS: Barbossa

• HP: 612
• Strength: 21
• Defense: 11
• Level: 20

There is an Illuminator in this battle; it darkens the room and thus no moonlight. It has low HP, so quickly defeat it and turn your attention to Barbossa. He uses a flurry of sword attacks that are easily Guarded and then countered. The gun shot can knock Sora back; just remember to recover. He rarely uses bombs, but they do some damage. With Jack on one side and Sora on the other, it's possible to use "Twin Counter" to deal damage with "Sonic Drive" afterwards. As the battle draws on, the Illuminator may return; just be sure to defeat it. Barbossa's attacks get more lethal towards the end; use the "Land" then "Reverse Blade" Reaction Commands to block the attack and counter for some decent damage. Remember to use Valor and Wisdom form to speed things up.

• Reward: Drive Gauge +1 (Sora), Aerial Finish (Sora), HP +4 (Donald), Teamwork (Goofy), Auto Limit (Goofy), HP +15 (Jack)

Defeat Barbossa with the help of Jack! Defeat the Heartless creating darkness, then fight Barbossa! Using magic will make the battle easier!

After the battle you receive the [FOLLOW THE WIND] keyblade. Set a course to Agrabah through the Ancient Highway.
