Another Way To Get Easy Experience
The way to get easy exp. is to keep fighting Wakka on Sora's island. Everytime he throws the blitzball at u hit it back at him (it gives you 1 exp. and if you hit him you'll get another exp. point) and when he does his powerup shot hit it back at him (it gives 2 exp. and if you hit him you'll get 2 exp.).Watch out though Wakka will eventually give up then vs. him again and repeat (it takes a while but it is worth it especially if u wanna beat Riku).
Answer Me These Questions Three
At the very begining of the game when you are asked three questions, pick the top answers to level up faster generally, pick the bottom answers to level up slower generally.
Battling Friends Of The Island
While in Destiny Island, train Sora to level 10. Do this by fighting Tidus, Wakka, and Selphie. Plus beat all three and face them all at once. If you beat them you get a potion each time you win. Once you get to level 10, face Riku, if you try facing him under level ten, you'll lose life quikly and make the score 1-0. If you beat Riku get a potion.
Beat Captain Hook
To beat Captain Hook in Neverland, you need to fly high or he'll swat you like a fly. (HeHe, it rhymes.) Come down and punch him in the head occasionally and use magic a lot to keep your clueless party members alive. They're sort of afraid of flying, either that or they're cemented to the ground. Simple, huh?
Beating Sephiroth
To beat Sephiroth you have to have Oblivion or a keyblade that will increase your str. to 80+ or add a lot of power up to Sora. His tactic is mostly hit and run (When he hits you he suddenly runs away and hit you again etc.). When he will say "Sin Harvest" hit him quickly. (To know when he will say that he will teleport very far from you.) When his life points is green he will cast a spell to increase his endurance.(To know it he is a bit blue on his body.) He will also cast a meteorite spell and the meteors will spin and protect him and you can't damage him when he casts that spell. His other destructive move is when he will glide and attack you (of course) as the same as Cloud only longer. If you follow this you have a very high chance of defeating him.
Best Equipment
For Sora, The Ultima Weapon keyblade or Oblivion
Acessesories, 2 Omega Arts and 1 Crystal Clown.
For Donald, Save the Queen or Violetta
For Goofy, Save the King, Herc Shield or Defender.
Defeat Cloud With Ease
Before the fight, with Goofy put 3 M-potions on the end of his item list. fill the rest with potions. Fill Soras and donalds items with potions as well. When you get to Cloud in the ring wait untill he does his move in the air before attacking. Because when does that he is stuck for 2 seconds.. this gives you time to attack. Just avoid the other attacks he does.Use Dodge roll to get away. It's to risky to get in a hit. Recommended level 14 ( 15-17 Best).
Dream Rod
To get donald's dream rod, fully upgrade all spells, then talk 2 merlin. He will give you the dream rod.
Dream Shield
To get goffy's dream shield, get all spell arts (from white mushrooms, by using the same correct spell 3 times in a row) and show merlin. He will give you the dream shield.
Dumbo The Elephant
To get your first summon, (Dumbo the Elephant) you must visit Merlin and go into Poo's story book. (This is also a great place to play some fun and helpful minigames.) Do a few things for Poo and he will reward you with Dumbo the Elephant.
Easier Level Up and more
You can level up a lot faster if you throw back the enemy's ranged attack like fire balls, ice, and etc. To beat Ice Titan strike or use the ability guard to get it's attack attack himself. (sorry for the double word) It's unexpected moves is when an Ice block falls at you and it's ice spears coming from the ground, it's ice breath and ice hadouken-like attack(Note: The ice hadouken-like attack needs knowledge on the game "Street Fighter" if you don't know the game ask someone who does). To know if it's going to do one of it is: Ice Block, (if you know "Street Fighter) hadouken-like hand position, Ice Breath, inhaling a lot, Ice hadouken-like attack, something charges up in his hands, Ice Spears coming from the ground, he stomps the ground. (Note: If your nearing a high level and have the Platinum Match, don't even think about deafeating Sepiroth, yet. Fight Ice Titan first, you'll have more than 9000 exp. points while Sepiroth is more than 18000 exp. points, it's like fighting Ice Titan 2 times, pls. follow my advice on Sepiroth and Ice Titan.)
Easier way on finding forgery items
If your having a hard time on finding some forgery items (you know item synthesis item) you have to destroy a lot of each kind of monster and put on all your party members "Lucky Strike" and "Jackpot" (if you want to get rich). If your looking for elemental gems and items go to White Mushrooms and cast the same spell of the gem or crystal before it dies. (ex: Fire, Thunder, Thunder, it will give you a thunder gem)
Easily Defeat Cerberus
To easily defeat Cerberus(dog with 3 heads) first wait until he is about to do the attack where he barfs up dark magic. When he does this, he arches his back. Try to jump onto his back. If you succeed, he will not be able to hit you with any of his attacks! At this point you should wait until he does his biting attack, then jump down and attack one of his outer heads. Repeat this as needed until he keels over.
Easy Battles with Donald and Goofy
Once you have Donald and Goofy on your team, two circles will appear at the top left of the screen when you go into a battle. If you press the triangle button during a battle, their circles will temporarily shine blue. This gives a temporary boost to all battle stats. P.S You may have to push the triangle button a few times before they begin to flash.
Easy Exp.
The best enemy for this is: Ice Titan, block his spear attack with the use of the ability guard and each spear consists of 24 exp. and when your needed exp. pts. to lvl. up is more than 10000, beat him at least 2 times to lvl. up.
Easy Experience
When you first start, you can fight Riku, Wakka, Tidus, and Selphie by talking to them. A good way to get experience is to fight Wakka or Riku, however if you defeat them all and get the items you need for the raft (the two logs, the cloth, and the rope) and select "Rest", when you wake up in the morning you can fight everyone except Riku. Defeat Wakka and Selphie then talk to Tidus. He will tell you about his three on one match with Riku and how bad he lost. You will then have three options, Select "3 on 1", and you will start fighting against Wakka, Tidus, and Selphie. Tidus and Selphie attack in a group. Knock out Tidus, then Selphie. Keep your distance from Wakka. When he throws the Blitzball at you and it is about to hit, slash your sword. It should be deflected, and you will get 1 or 2 experience points. You can repeat this as many times as needed, but if you hit Wakka with the ball a certain amount of times he will die. Even though it may take practice hitting the Blitzballs, it is the easiest way to get experience at the start of the game. It is possible to leave Destiny Island at level 12, almost strong enough to defeat Cloud.
Easy Level Gain
In the very beginning when you are being asked all those questions pick all the top ones and you will get levels faster, if you pick all the bottom ones you will gain levels slower
Easy Way To Beat Riku
An easy way to beat Riku on Sora's island is to hit him 4 times. He will fall after the 4th time, try to do the kick attack on you when he gets up, dodge that, and continue the steps (sometimes he wont fall on the 4th hit put it is a rare occasion).
Famous Voices
Did you know that Lance Bass from the backstrret boys acts Sephiroths voice on this Game? If you look on the back of the booklet where it says credits you can see that famous people act different characters voices. This has nothing to do with the game but its cool to know who acts who.
Famous voices
Did you know Mandy Moore from Drake&Josh voices Aerith and Christy Carlson Romano who plays as Kim Possible Voices Yuffie. It doesn't have anything to do with the but it's cool to know.
Fighting
Try to master using both the Left Analog-stick and Right Analog-stick. Remember to top up your partners' items. Use lock-on targeting in all Boss fights. Do not always rely on your partners to heal you. Try to use the hit and magic attack method. For example, first lock on the target. Next, use your magic until one last MP remains then join in the pounding of the Boss. Cast magic when you regain one block of MP. Continue to pound the Boss. Remember to take care of your HP during the pounding.
Fighting Sephiroth
After sealing the Keyhole at Hollow Bastion, a mysterious battle appears in Phil's list of options. This battle is called the Platinum Match, and you must go one on one with the toughest Boss in the game to win.
Freeze Timer in the Hercules Cup
When you reach Hercules in the Hercules Cup, press start then select restart. When the match restarts the timer will freeze. This only happens in the Hercules Cup.
Get Through Cave Of Wonders
The cave of wonders can be quite difficult if you don't know how to get through. 1. You can swim up waterfalls! 2. You have to have Alladin in your party to activate the statues inside. 3. When you fight Jafar the fist time, take him down before he starts to fly, or else your going to have to use a lot of magic to bring him down. 4. The second form of Jafar is INVINSIBLE! Litterally. The only way to beat him is to attack the lamp that Lago the parrot is flying around untill he has finally had enough.
How To Beat Hades
First attack him but don't use fire it will cure him.When he uses a attack when he spins fire shooting from his arms dodge-roll under the flames.
How to beat Jafar as a Genie
While Jafar is a Genie, do not go after him. If you attack Jafar the results will do nothing. Go after his bird that is flying around the room with the lamp. Jafar will throw rocks at you, so keep an eye out for him.
How to beat Sephiroth
To beat Sephiroth, you need to go past the Hades Cup, and that will unlock a challenge called "???". (Platinum Match after you do it once)You need to have the keyblade "oblivion" or "Ultima Weapon". You need to have Ars Arcanum on, and Second Chance, as well as at least one MP rage. Do not put ragnarok on as it messes you up A LOT. You need to have strength at least 65+. When you start fighting, immediately jump to dodge his first attack. You cant hurt him for a bit, but if you do enough damage his health will start going down. You need to get past the first bar, trying to dodge his sword slashes. When you hit the orange bar, this is where the danger starts. He will yell "COME!" and charge at you.(or use a giant fire spell) Right before he runs into you, he teleports. He will then yell out "SIN HARVEST!" You need press R1 exactly when he teleports to find him quickly, and hit him as soon as possible before he takes all your health away (except 1 small point, and you cant heal). If you fail, run away and quickly use a Megalixer if you have one. This will restore your MP and HP, and allow you to use magic again. If he uses the fire attack, use Ars Arcanum in the middle of the flame. He will repeat attacking you, using sin harvest about 3-4 times, if you kill him within 5-6 minutes. When he gets to the yellow bar, he will yell "POWER!" and blue magic will surround him, and will make an assault of quick attacks. After that, he will call down meteors. When he does this, get as close as you can to Sephiroth, and circle around him slowly to avoid the meteor that surrounds Sephiroth. Then he will call some orbs to hurt you, over and over again. By this time you should have him on the green bar, and then continue hitting him. If you dont do this quick enough, he will use another sin harvest. Eventually you will kill him.
Congratulations, you have killed the hardest boss in Kingdom Hearts 1!
How to get warp
To get warp for the ship you need to at least beat 3 stages then you will get warp. Warp lets you go to the place without doing the corse.
Keeping alive in Final Bosses
This is not a cheat. Rather it is a very important hint to help players stay alive especially in Expert mode. When fighting the final dungeons or bosses nearing the end, it is avery important to summon Tinker Bell into battle. She doesn't take up any party memebers place and she constantly heals Sora, reviving him once if he is KO'd. You may say "This is total bullshit! Who doesn't know she can be summoned into battle?" Yes that's true but I tell you most people will be so engrossed in fighting that they will forget to summon. I sometimes will also forget.
Life
Get 200 mushrooms. Then in the first town you can sell them at Trevers and get life.
Oblivion
To get oblivion go back to where you versed ansem-riku dude and go to the platform above the entrance. Open the chest and there you have it oblivion.
Safe Defeat
Somebody on the page said the triangle button gave your ally's a temporery stat boost, thats true but it also tells them to keep fighting or to back off. Doesn't sound to helpful but in the near-the-end-of-the-game giant gargoyel fight & the fight with giant Ursala,it is.If you don't think you can win, let your ally's fight and fly or swim to the edge of the screen. Now both bosses make a dramatic gestur to signal a surounding attack,at that moment if you want to save your magic and not have to heal them press the triangle button and they will make a little battle cry and come to you, and you can do the same to make them charge back at the enemy. If you do this right you can win the fight without ever attacking the enemy. (Exept for the finishing blow, the game desisngers made it so that Sora MUST make that finishing blow, you can wait for a half an hour but no matter how many times they attack, Sora must finish the battle. Trust me I know)
Secret Bosses
The game includes a few secret battles that may be worth the trouble, especially a couple of new ones that have been added to the American version. All of theses are insanely hard, though, and for experts only. Sepiroth: The Platinum Match at the Coliseum becomes available after locking the Hollow Bastion Keyhole. Ice Titan: The Gold Match at the Coliseum shows up after beating the Hades Cup. Phantom: Visit the Clock Tower in Neverland after locking the Hollow Bastion Keyhole. Kurt Zisa: Talk to the Carpet in Aladdn's House after locking the Hollow Bastion Keyhole.
Sephiroth Attack Counter
When fighting Sephiroth, he will suddenly say Sin Harvest, and a little red thingie will surround Sora. a split second later, it will drain hp to 1, and mp to 0. When Ole Grey Hair says Sin Harvest, go to you items (hopefully all elixers), and choose which item to use, but don't choose Sora, until you see the red animation on Sora. If you use it fast enough, it will activate just after your hp and mp drops. Then, even If sephiroth gets to you, you can survive.
Sora's Most Powerful Weapon
The most powerful weapon Sora can obtain in Kingdom Hearts is Ultima Weapon. It can be made at the Moogles' Synth Shop in Traverse Town, and shows up on the list only when all the other items on the Synth Shop list have been made at least once. Once it becomes available, these are the items you'll need and which creature drops them:
Lucid Gems - Wight Knight (Halloween Town)
5 Power Gems - Pirate and Pirate Ship (Never Land)
5 Thunder Gems - Aquatank and Screwdriver (Atlantica)

Unlock a treasure trest
In traverse town to open the treasure trest near all the lit candles you can never put out, use blizzard on each candle one by one. Once you have done that you will hear a beep. Now you can go up to the treasure chest and open it. It will give you a power up.
White Mushrooms
These friendly creatures show up most commonly around the tent in the Deep Jungle, the Treasure Room at the Magic Cave in Agrabah, and the large room just before reaching the Final Rest at the End of the World. They aren't hostile, but you have to hit them three times in a row with the same type of magic to get them to drop the Mystery Goo. The gestures they make will tell you what type of spell they want you to use on them:
Shivering - Fire
"Bring it" gesture - Ice
Sun over head - Thunder
Trip and fall - Cure
Spinning around - Aero
Frozen in place - Stop
