Halloween Town: Walkthrough

Master Halloween Town with our expert walkthrough for Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX. Learn boss strategies for Oogie Boogie and Larxene, find key items, and level up effectively.

Alright, so you've landed in Halloween Town, and Jack Skellington's going to give you the lowdown on the Heartless situation. Your main goal here is to clear out these Heartless. Doing so will teach Sora the Terror sleight and net you the Key of Beginnings. Keep an eye out for those statues and pumpkins; they're good for Moogle Points and HP. Just be careful of the fountains – they'll try to zap you with acid!

Your next stop is the Room of Beginnings. Try to snag some Pumpkinhead cards while you're there; they can give you a nice little stat boost. Once you get the Key of Guidance, head towards the Room of Guidance. You'll pass through a couple of other rooms to get there, so take the opportunity to gain a level or two. Seriously, it's always worth it.

After grabbing the Key of Truth, aim to hit level 27. This is important because you'll learn a new sleight right around then, which will be super helpful for the upcoming boss fight after you clear this world. If you're feeling confident with your current setup, you could craft a Moment's Reprieve or something similar, but honestly, just grinding out a few levels now will make things much smoother later. Once you're ready, make your way to the Room of Truth to face Oogie Boogie.

BOSS - Oogie Boogie

This fight is pretty straightforward if you've got some high-value cards in your deck. Oogie's going to start tossing out dice. Your job is to use your cards to 'break' these attacks. Each time you successfully break a dice attack, the gate in front of Oogie lowers by about a third. After you do this three times, the gate will be completely down, letting you jump up and wail on him. If you *don't* break the dice, you'll have to deal with extra enemies, saw blades, or daggers, depending on what Oogie rolled. The good news is that when he throws dice, you have a good chance of getting a Gimmick Card. If you get it, use it immediately! It'll drop the gate all the way down, giving you a chance for two solid attacks on Oogie. Defeating him will drop the Oogie Boogie Enemy Card.

After the fight, head back to the Conqueror's Respite, climb up, and save your game. As you make your way to the exit hall, get ready because Larxene is waiting to test your skills.

BOSS - Larxene

Fighting Larxene is all about paying attention to her card plays. If you see her stocking up for Mega Volt, you absolutely want to break that attack. Alternatively, you can counter her with a strong sleight like Sonic Blade or Strike Raid for some serious damage. The sleight you need to be *extra* careful of is Teleport Rush – those rapid hits can add up fast and really hurt. The other attacks are manageable if you can't break them. When she shouts things like “Lightning!” or “Vanish!”, your best bet is to use Dodge Roll to avoid the incoming lightning strikes or kunai she throws. Honestly, Sonic Blade is probably your best bet in this entire fight. It lets you get in a lot of hits quickly, and its speed matches Larxene's own agility.

After you defeat Larxene, she'll drop the Thunder sleight for you.

With Larxene down, you'll get a new set of World Cards. Head on up and choose whichever world you want to visit next. Just remember that the layout of the floors in these new worlds is determined by the floor you choose to enter, not necessarily the level you are.
