Tips and secrets, cheats and codes
6 tips: 3 Easter Eggs and Glitches - 1 Personal tip - 1 Cheats and Codes - 1 SecretEaster Eggs and Glitches:
How can I unlock Ultima weapons for Sora in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories?
Defeat the Reverse Rebirth mode in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories to unlock Ultima weapons for Sora. (You can purchase them in Moogle Shops)
Personal tip:
How can I earn unlimited Moogle points in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories?
Unlock two interconnected rooms for this secret and eliminate all enemies inside. The places where moogle points regenerate after leaving and returning to a room, but the enemies do not. Simply go back and forth in those two rooms in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories to get all the moogle points you desire. You should get around 2000 in about 5 minutes or so, depending on your luck.
Easter Eggs and Glitches:
How often do I have to battle Vexen in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories?
Once you reach the 100 Acre Woods in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, ignore all tasks and Pooh, and head towards the end. There will be a short clip, then you will be asked to save your game. Select NO and then you will fight Vexen again. After the battle, you will find yourself back in The 100 Acre Woods. Complete one task and head back to the end. You will notice that you are fighting Vexen again. After the battle, you will see that you have received EXP from both the first battle against Vexen and the second one. You should continue to repeat this.
Cheats and Codes:
How can I skip the conversations before a boss fight in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories?
If you've lost a boss battle in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories and you're tired of listening to the conversations that take place before the battle, press start and hold it for a few seconds, and the battle will begin. This will come in handy during tough boss fights where you have to restart constantly.
Easter Eggs and Glitches:
How can I quickly upgrade my cards to Premium?
Just like with the Moogle Points trick, you keep walking between two rooms over and over again, and this trick heavily relies on luck.
The requirements are that one of the rooms is a Premium Room, and that room must have a BARREL. So, once you've cleared out the room of enemies, just leave and come back. The barrel will respawn every time and when you break it, you'll get health, moogle points, or if you're lucky, a barrel spider. Get it? The spiders respawn (with a bit of luck) so your chances of getting a Premium Bonus are high. Even if you don't get spiders, this will help you get Moogle points.
This definitely takes a while, and I wouldn't recommend trying it for your entire collection. When I did it, it took me about 30-45 minutes to make around 20-25 premium cards in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. That's pretty good, and it really helped. I also got a few thousand moogle points, so that was helpful too.
I suggest making a stack of high CP cards that you use often, especially things like Cloud. Barrel Spiders all have an attack power of 4, so keep all your cards above that and you won't have any problems. It's annoying, but it can really be worth it.
