Kingdom Hearts Final Mix Trophy Guide

Welcome to the trophy guide for Kingdom Hearts Final Mix! I won't take long but just be aware that there will be a lot of grinding and the platinum won't be an easy one. But without further ado, let's get started!

KINGDOM HEARTS Master Obtain all trophies.
As always, simply get every single other trophy to get this hard-earned platinum. Great job!

Proud Player Clear Final Mix on Proud.
Proud Mode is new to this version of Kingdom Hearts. A general rule is to make sure you go for defense early on. So be sure to pick the Dream Shield at the beginning of the game. If you really want magic, you can use items and Keyblades to get more. Also, always carry potions and be ready to fight alone and Dodge Roll a lot, because Goofy and Donald will be dying. A lot.

Final Mix Master Clear Final Mix.
The same strategies apply to the above trophy, but it's just not as hard. Even Proud Mode isn't too bad if you know how to play and make it through the game.

Novice Player Clear Final Mix on Beginner.
This is the first difficulty related trophy you should aim for, as the following 3 trophies will be way easier to obtain on Beginner. They even throw you accessories that give you extra EXP! Now that's easy!

Unchanging Armor Clear the game without changing equipment.
Best to do this one on your Beginner run, because using only the Kingdom Key in a more difficult mode is only going to be a challenge in itself. You can still mess with Donald and Goofy's stuff but Sora has to remain untouched. And having the extra EXP accessories will be a huge help.

Undefeated Clear the game without using a continue.
Again, do this on Beginner. If you do end up dying, just load your data, do not hit continue! Otherwise this one isn't too bad. Just be careful and pack potions, and always make sure that Cure is always ready.

Speedster Defeat the World of Chaos in the End of the World within 15 hours.
On Beginner again. Simply rush through the game. Luckily you can skip cutscenes in this version too. When I did my Beginner playthrough, I finished in about 11 hours, and yes, without changing my equipment. It's definitely not as difficult as you think but definitely go for this on Beginner.

He Who Doesn't Exist  Defeat the Mysterious Man in Hollow Bastion.
Defeating Zemnas is no simple feat, and since strategies vary, all I'll say is pack plenty of healing items and Elixirs. And Dodge Roll. And maybe even Guard. And of course, never forget Once More and Second Chance. Just learn his patterns and formulate a plan from there. Wait until you're at a very high level for this one.

The Cloaked Shadow Defeat the Phantom at the Clock Tower.
This battle is odd at first but you need Peter Pan to even access the boss. Bring Donald as this fight is about 90% magic. Bring plenty of Ethers as well. Start by casting Stop on the clock. Phantom will cast Doom on your party members and the clock will count down. If a member gets knocked out by Doom, they are out for the whole battle, so watch out! His heart will change colors, and you have to use the matching spell against him. Red for Fire, blue for Blizzard, yellow for Thunder, and white for physical strikes. Keep that clock stopped and outlast him for this trophy.

The Sandy Blade Defeat Kurt Zisa in Agrabah.
You want to bring Donald as this is another fight with magic, but only for one specific phase. Otherwise, as always, be high level, prepare for anything, and definitely summon Tinkerbell for this gruesome fight. I wonder how happy Kurt was when he saw what his name went to in that contest,  because his name went into a pretty tough boss!

Novice Hero Win the Phil Cup.
The easiest Cup, unlocked by sealing Traverse Town, will give you little to no problems, so go get 'em!

Artisan Hero Win the Pegasus Cup.
Unlocked after beating Monstro, this tourney isn't too bad. Just be careful against Leon and Yuffie in the end!

Hero of the Coliseum Win the Hercules Cup.
After finishing the second ring of areas, including Never Land and Halloween Town, you unlock this tournament. Nothing extremely hard, but watch out for Cloud in the middle and Herc himself at the end! Use the barrels to hurt Hercules!

Coliseum Champion Win the Hades Cup.
Unlocked near the end of the game, this final Cup has you finally defeat Hades near the end of the 50 seed tournament, and you face off against almost every other Olympus boss during it, as well as a Behemoth, Opposite Armor, Cloud and the gang, and the Rock Titan. Don't try this until you're higher leveled and ready for a long string of fights!

The Frosty Giant Defeat the Ice Titan in the Gold Match at Olympus Coliseum.
This one is something that makes you happy that Guard exists. Try to keep in one place at first and deflect his ice shards to damage him and gain tech points. DO NOT USE AERO, EVER! If you do, he makes his shards bigger and will damage you more. Keep deflecting, be ready to heal and glide, and good luck! If you can take the Rock Titan, you have a chance against his icy cousin.

One-Winged Angel Defeat Sephiroth in the Platinum Match at Olympus Coliseum.
Sephiroth has many strategies for many different people. Generally you want to be max level with your strongest Keyblade, best equipment you have, every -ga spell, especially Aeroga, and bring nothing but Elixirs. The biggest thing to watch out for is when he teleports far away, saying "Descend Heartless Angel!" If he completes his words, he will drop you to 1 hp and zero magic, and will promptly take you out if you're not ready. Just don't give up and you'll eventually overcome the SOLDIER 1st Class!

Supreme Soloist Complete any solo challenge.
If the Phil Cup gives you no issues, go it alone with Sora and this will quickly come to you.

Time Attacker Complete any time trial challenge.
Just do the time trial for the Phil Cup, easy. If you're worried, grind and come back when you can demolish any low-powered enemy.

Level Master Get Sora to Level 100.
If you don't have this by the time you're done hunting for Synthesis items, just grind. Try the Gizmo Shop, that's where I banged out a lot of levels in the end.

Treasure Hunter Open 100 treasure chests.
Easy, you'll get this before you even know it.

From Rags to Riches Obtain over 10,000 Munny.
If you haven't gotten this by the time you reach the end of the game, just grind in the End of the World. It won't take too long, really. This also means you must have 10,000 at one time, not cumulatively.

Heartless Hunter Defeat over 2,000 Heartless.
This will easily come as you grind Sora to level 100, if it hasn't popped before that point.

Where the Bells Toll Seal the keyhole in Traverse Town.
Upon your second visit to Traverse Town and after seeing Riku, you will be told to ring the bell above the Gizmo Shop. After revealing the keyhole you must defeat Opposite Armor to finally seal the keyhole!

The Rabbit Hole Seal the keyhole in Wonderland.
After hunting for Alice after she gets taken away, you eventually light some lights and return to the Bizarre Room, where the Cheshire Cat tells you that the shadows are here. Defeat the Trickmaster for your trophy.

Junior Hero Seal the keyhole in Olympus Coliseum.
This one requires some leg work, as you finally earn the Yellow Trinity upon winning the Phil, Pegasus, and Hercules Cups. After earning it, use it on that stone block in the lobby and you'll seal the keyhole.

Member of the Tribe Seal the keyhole in Deep Jungle.
Once you finally defeat Clayton and his Stealth Sneak, Kerchak tosses you by the waterfall. After climbing up the cave, you reach the last room, which holds the keyhole, which gets sealed during the silly scene.

Magic Lamp Seal the keyhole in Agrabah.
After you play tag with Jafar, you drop down to fight him in his Genie form, while attacking his lamp as Iago carries it around. Beat him to seal the keyhole. Bring along fire-resistant accessories if you have any!

Honest Soul Escape from Monstro.
Once you defeat the Parasite Cage with Riku's help (not really, he really just runs around and gets smacked.) you end up in the Mouth again. In a nearby chest is High Jump, which you use to reach the Bowels (eww). Once you defeat the Parasite Cage again and save Pinocchio, you are shot out of Monstro and the trophy is yours.

Master of the Seas Seal the keyhole in Atlantica.
After an annoying battle with Ursula in her lair, you chase her to a new arena with your new Dolphin Kick ability. You must fight a giant Ursula to save Atlantica and seal the keyhole, but watch those attacks. Bring Ariel with you so she can use her magic to aid you!

Pumpkin Prince Seal the keyhole in Haloween Town.
After defeating Oogie Boogie in his lair, you emerge to face his manor! Destroy the globs of darkness to win the battle and seal the keyhole!

Pixie Dust Seal the keyhole in Never Land.
After a battle with Captain Hook, you end up at the Clock Tower. Wendy tells you that one of the clock faces has the wrong time. Fix the hands and the trophy is yours after another scene.

End of the World Seal the keyhole in Hollow Bastion.
You will receive this after your 2nd visit once you save Kairi. You enter the final keyhole to defeat a massive Behemoth. After defeating it, this trophy is yours.

Pooh's Friend Seal the keyhole in 100 Acre Wood.
On your second visit to Traverse Town, you'll deliver a book to Merlin, given to you by Cid. Merlin tells you that the pages are missing and scattered through the worlds. Every new page opens a new section and mini game for you to play in. After the final page is placed, and the final game played, this trophy will be yours. Note that you can get the pages in any order you choose.

Traverse Town: Rescue 51 Dalmatians.
Agrabah: Dark Chamber in the Cave of Wonders.
Monstro: Chamber 6.
Halloween Town: Bookcase in the Doctor's Lab.
Atlantica: Ariel's Grotto.

Record Keeper Collect all Jiminy's Journal entries.
If you're going for 100%, then this will come to you naturally. Just be sure to beat all of the optional bosses and the exclusive Final Mix Heartless, as you won't get the Character entries without them, as well as the Ansem Reports. You'll get these Journal trophies as you work on levels and Synthesis, more than likely.

Storyteller Collect all Story entries in Jiminy's Journal.
See Record Keeper.
Searcher Collect all Ansem Reports in Jiminy's Journal.
See Record Keeper.
Professor Collect all Character entries in Jiminy's Journal.
See Record Keeper.

Top Dog Collect all 101 Dalmatian entries in Jiminy's Journal.
See Record Keeper.

Best Friend Collect all Trinity List entries in Jiminy's Journal.
See Record Keeper.

Mini-game Master Collect all Mini-game entries in Jiminy's Journal.
See Record Keeper.

Synthesis Master Synthesize all items.
Much like the gummi ship trophies, this is one you might end up getting last, along with the other Synthesis trophies. Anyonr who's played the original knows how annoying this is. However, now there are exclusive Final Mix enemies that are the only way to get certain drops. I myself used guides and the KH Wiki in order to defeat these enemies and spawn them. As for the rest, you might end up getting them while grinding Sora to level 100, as that doesn't happen super fast. Best of luck, because this has always been a doozy.

First Synthesis Synthesize an item for the first time.
See Synthesis Master.

Synthesis Novice Synthesize 3 types of items.
See Synthesis Master.

Synthesis Amateur Synthesize 15 types of items.
See Synthesis Master.

Synthesis Vet Synthesize 30 types of items.
See Synthesis Master.

Gummi Ship Collector Obtain all gummi ship blueprints.
See Top Gun.

Flying Ace Shoot down over 2,500 enemies with your gummi ship.
You'll get this naturally if you don't use Warp Drive. But also during the gummi missions as well. Keep on shooting!

Customizer Modify a gummi ship and update the data.
Easy. You'll get this en route towards your gummi ship trophies, or during the story if you ever want to update your ship.

Top Gun Clear all gummi ship routes.
So this one is definitely going to take some doing. Just about every world has 3 gummi ship missions with varying objectives. In order to earn this trophy, along with the gummi mission trophies and blueprints, you must complete every single mission. It is very daunting.

I won't lie, I followed a guide on YouTube by the user ItsGamingFancy. He has a video series detailing optimal ships and tactics for every mission and it is a fantastic guide for this trophy. If you can't seem to get those missions down, definitely check out his videos, they are amazing, so huge thank you to him for making those videos!

Test Pilot Clear gummi ship mission 1.
See Top Gun.

Veteran Pilot Clear gummi ship mission 2.
See Top Gun.

Ace Pilot Clear gummi ship mission 3.
See Top Gun.

Oathkeeper Obtain the Oathkeeper Keyblade.
This one can't be missed. After escaping from Hollow Bastion with Kairi, you end up in Traverse Town. After some scenes, talk to her and she'll give you her lucky charm, which becomes Oathkeeper. Easy enough right?

Blade Master Obtain all Keyblades.
I won't list every single one, as most are earned through the story. I will list the ones that require some work. Here we go!
Wishing Star: Traverse Town, in a chest in Gepetto's House after completing Monstro.
Spellbinder: Obtain all first tier spells. After Sora mentions being on-par with Donald, talk to Merlin.
Metal Chocobo: Defeat Cloud in the Hercules Cup.

Genji Shield: Defeat Yuffie in Hades Cup.

Herc's Shield: Defeat Hercules in Hercules Cup.
Dream Shield: Talk to Merlin after obtaining all spell arts.

And that's every trophy! This was really hard to do on just my phone but I really hope you like it anyway! As always thanks so much for your time, it means so much to me, and as always I will see you later! :D
