As Maleficent treats Pete badly after his failure, the latter begins wishing he could return to the old days when he captained the Steamboat Willie. Villain's Vale appears in several flashbacks seen in Timeless River. The Heartless, however, sided with Organization XIII and did not finish attacking the city. The Heartless were amassed together by Maleficent and Pete for their army and then used to attack Hollow Bastion. After the Battle of the 1000 Heartless, the base of the Vale is no longer surrounded by Heartless. Leon and the rest of the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee wish to restore the city, but first need to get rid of the Heartless. When Sora and company first arrive in Hollow Bastion, at the base of the Vale is a swarm of Shadow Heartless. He found an empty fortress, but was soon greeted by a Diablo and a resurrected Maleficent. After discovering that Maleficent had been defeated, Pete showed up here to see if it was true. It acts as a base of operations for Maleficent and her forces of darkness. The next and last area is the Dark Depths where you can fight Sephiroth after your third and final visit.įrom the Bailey you have a view of the Villain's Vale which is an unreachable area in Kingdom Hearts II.

This leads to The Great Maw, a large area where the Battle of the 1000 Heartless is fought. From the Castle Gate, you will reach the long and winding Ravine Trail that eventually leads to the Crystal Fissure a small cave-like area with glowing crystals. If you go to the Castle Gate from the Bailey, you can see an old gate similar to the one in Kingdom Hearts. At the end of the Restoration Site you will make your way up to the castle, Hollow Bastion. It is also changed after your first visit to Space Paranoids, which allows you to get two new treasures. If you go to the Restoration Site, you will find equipment to restore the city. After the events of your first journey to Space Paranoids, the Bailey is changed, with the outer wall of the city broken down and you can walk to the Castle Gate. If you continue, you will come across the Bailey which allows a look of the Villain's Vale and access to the Restoration Site. It's also the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee's base of operations and contains the book that leads to the world 100 Acre Wood. Down the stairs past the item shop is the Borough, which seems to be a residential area and where Merlin's House is located. Final Fantasy fans will also note two familiar faces who run the world's armor shop and item shop. Sora first arrives in the Radiant Garden (still known as Hollow Bastion at the time) at the Marketplace which houses the world's Moogle shop, as well as Uncle Scrooge and the accessory shop of his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie.

2.2 Between Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and Kingdom Hearts.

In Kingdom Hearts II, the Radiant Garden plays a similar role to Traverse Town from Kingdom Hearts, as a sort of 'home base' for Sora before he returned to Destiny Islands. This world was run by Ansem the Wise during Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Maleficent and Xehanort's Heartless in Kingdom Hearts and the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee in Kingdom Hearts II. It regains its name in Kingdom Hearts II after Tron finds a record of it in the computer's database and shows everyone what the town looked like when it started out, causing everyone from the Radiant Garden to remember the name. It is the home world of many Final Fantasy characters within the series, as well as the original home world of Kairi and Ansem the Wise.Īfter the world was reduced to just the castle, following an assault by the Heartless, it was named simply 'Hollow Bastion'. It appears in the first two games as Hollow Bastion, the castle which lies in the center of the world, with the areas outside mostly destroyed. Radiant Garden, also known as The Hollow Bastion, is a world in Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and also appears in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance.
