Tips

Looking to build yourself the all-powerful Ultima Weapon in Kingdom Hearts 2—and track down all seven pieces of Orichalcum+ in the process? We can help! Orichalcum+ is super rare in the game, which is why there are only seven pieces in all. You can find them as long as you’re thorough. In this easy player guide, we’ll show you how to obtain every piece of Orichalcum+ in Kingdom Hearts 2, whether you’re playing the original version on the PlayStation 2 or the 2.5 ReMIX version on PlayStation 3 or 4.

A Quick Guide to Finding All 7 Orichalcum+

Complete Atlantica’s “A New Day is Dawning” minigame.
Find every Torn Page for the 100 Acre Wood and clear each area.
Gather one of every synthesis item and give them to a Moogle.
Open a chest on Sunset Terrace, in the Twilight Town.
Open a chest in The Brink of Despair, left of the bridge that leads to The Castle That Never Was.
Open the Space Paranoids chest in the Central Computer Mesa area.
Complete the Goddess of Fate Cup (a 10-round tournament).

Finish the “A New Day is Dawning” song in Atlantica. The Atlantica area of the game requires you to finish several musical episodes, with the last one being “A New Day is Dawning.” You’ll need to get a score of at least 30,000 points across thirty events to be successful, with events involving Ariel typically being worth more points. Once you finish this minigame, you’ll get an Orichalcum+ as a reward.^{[1]

- It may also be helpful to keep in mind that the events before and during King Triton’s appearance are worth the most points in the minigame (15,000 each for an “Excellent” score).
- Since the HD remake of Kingdom Hearts 2 is virtually identical to the original PS2 version, the Orichalcum＋ locations have not changed. Don’t worry about the differences between the original and the 2.5 ReMIX versions.^{[2]

Complete the final episode of the 100 Acre Wood. To do that, you’ll need to find all the Torn Pages and clear the area for each one. Each page matches a different location in the 100 Acre Wood, but they’ve been ripped out of the book and are hidden across various worlds. You can find each page in the following places:^{[3]

- Disney Castle - Go to the Library and open a treasure chest to find this page.
- Pride Lands - Find a treasure chest at the Oasis and open it to get this page.
- Hollow Bastion - Get to the treasure chest in the Crystal Fissure (before the Battle of the 1,000 Heartless) to find this page.
- The Land of Dragons - Open the Throne room treasure chest after meeting Xigbar to get a page.
- Agrabah - During Sora’s second visit, find a treasure chest in the Ruins and open it to get the page.

Turn in one of every synthesis item to a Moogle. When you collect at least one of every synthesis item in the game and give each one to a Moogle, you’ll get one Orichalcum+ as a reward. You’ll most likely have to farm enemies for a few hours to collect one of each synthesis item, although having Lucky Lucky equipped can make this much easier! ^{[4]

Research source}
- You’ll also find many synthesis items simply by progressing forward in the game.
- All Moogle shops in the game are linked, so your progress will carry over from shop to shop; you don’t have to worry about bringing your materials to a specific shop.
- For the Orichalcum＋ to appear in your list of materials, you’ll have to exit and then re-enter the Moogle's shop to turn it in as well.
- Check the Moogle's Item list often so you can see what items you're missing. This also helps with farming the other materials required by the Ultimate Recipe!

Find the Twilight Town chest on Sunset Terrace. You might not think there’s much value in going to the Sunset Terrace (beyond reminiscing about the six Wonders that Roxas had to search for in the prologue episode), but there’s a big reason to visit! You’ll find a treasure chest containing Orichalcum+ on top of a building there.^{[5]

Research source}
- To reach the building's rooftop, find the tram car moving back and forth and jump onto it. From there, jump onto the roof containing the chest.
You’ll find a group of chests right before the MCP boss fight—in the area with the save point. The first chest you reach when you get off the ship contains an Orichalcum+.^{[6]

Locate the chest in The Brink of Despair. There’s one relatively easy Orichalcum+ available in The World That Never Was. Go left of the bridge leading into The Castle That Never Was, and you’ll find a small ledge that’s slightly hidden behind the large chest containing the map for the city. Open the chest on this ledge to find the Orichalcum+ there!^{[7]
X
Research source}
- If you’re struggling to find the chest, look around the corner from the Moogle Shop; that’s where the small ledge is.
7
Conquer the Goddess of Fate Cup. After beating the previous three cups and defeating Xemnas at Memory’s Contortion, a fourth cup in the Underworld Tournament—the Goddess of Fate cup—becomes available. Complete the 10-round tournament, and the final Orichalcum+ is yours.^{[8]
X
Research source}
- Keep in mind that the Cups will open up periodically as you progress through the game.
- You can only use Sora during the Goddess of Fate Cup—there are no summons allowed.
- Once you complete the steps in this guide, you should have seven pieces of Orichalcum+. Congratulations!

What is Orichalcum+ in Kingdom Hearts 2?

Orichalcum+ is a rare mineral material used to make the Ultima weapon. You can also find regular Orichalcum in the game, but only Orichalcum+ can put the Ultima weapon together. The Ultima recipe calls for 13 Orichalcum+, but don’t get confused: there are only seven pieces found throughout the game! To get the rest, you’ll need to apply an Energy Crystal to each piece of Orichalcum+.^{[9]

Research source}
- Energy Crystals essentially cut materials in half when applied; that’s how you can get 13 Orichalcum+ out of seven pieces!

The Ultima Weapon in Kingdom Hearts 2

The Ultima Weapon is the most powerful keyblade in Kingdom Hearts 2. It increases Sora’s Strength by +6 and Magic by +4. It also applies the MP Hastega ability, which recharges Sora’s MP (Magic) 100% faster! The Ultima Weapon appears in most Kingdom Hearts games and is rightfully considered one of the strongest weapons available.^{[10]

- The complete Ultima Weapon recipe is:
  - 13 Orichalcum+
  - 1 Orichalcum
  - 1 Mythril Crystal
  - 1 Dense Crystal
  - 1 Twilight Crystal
  - 7 Serenity Crystal
- You’ll need to pick up the “Ultimate Recipe” (as Sora) to make the Ultima Weapon in the first place. It’s in a chest at the Mansion: Basement Corridor.

Question

How do you get to the manifest illusion in the Cave of Remembrance?

Community Answer

You need Valor Form's High Jump (Maybe Level 2, but definitely works at Level 3) and Master Form's Aerial Dodge/Double Jump (Level 1 works fine). Just time the second jump right and Sora should grab the ledge, that is if you're jumping from the next room's door platform.

What Moogle level do we need to be at?

Level 6, Artisan Moogle. That is the level at which you can apply Bright and Energy materials to S-Rank recipes.

Question

I cant seem to find the seventh one. I've been to the bridge, I've found the chest you are talking about, but I have no clue were the last one is. I've opened both chests and have done every other thing down to the letter and got the stuff, it's just this last one, what do I do?

Make sure you've cleared both 100 Acre Wood and Atlantica, grab the three chests from Twilight Town, Space Paranoids, and The World That Never Was; beat the Goddess of Fate Cup, and turn in one of every material to the Moogles.

Open every chest you can find! As long as you do this, you should naturally find three of the seven Orichalcum+, as well as the Torn Pages necessary for completing the 100 Acre Wood’s episodes.

Try equipping the Lucky Lucky ability, which increases the drop rate of items and should help you gather synthesis items faster. The earlier you start building your synthesis collection, the less work you’ll have to do when you finally make gathering Orichalcum+ a priority.

You can also equip the Sweet Memories Keyblade when you want to farm items since it has the Lucky Lucky ability attached to it. If you have Lucky Rings, equip them as well. However, if you’re playing the Final Mix version of Kingdom Hearts 2 on PS3 or PS4, Sweet Memories won’t have Lucky Lucky attached.
