\ 12. Synthesis Shop

[snth] /
o=========================================================================o
After using the green Trinity Mark in the Accessory shop, the moogles will
allow you synthesize items if you bring them materials. This is the only way to
get Sora's ultimate weapon, and many strong Accessories. You won't be able to
synthesize anything you want right away, however. You will need to synthesize a
certain number of items before the Moogles will be skilled enough to make
better items.

Once you have emptied most of the game's chests, you will have to rely on
enemies dropping synthesis items. The best way to obtain these items is to
equip the entire party with the Lucky Strike ability. This increases your
chance of getting rare items by a lot. If anyone knows the specific formula
used in this ability, let me know, I'm quite curious.
In addition to the enemy locations below, keep in mind that any of the enemies
could appear in Monstro. Also, most of the enemies will appear in the various
"world terminals" at the End of the World. For simplicity sake, I don't mention
this in every single location box. Just remember that there are these other
options.
_____________________________________________________________________________
|=============================================================================|
| MYTHRIL SHARD
|

|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| - Pot Spider (1%): Pot Spiders appear in Agrabah. While you will find
|
| plenty of them hiding around in nooks and crannies, they won't be a good |
| source of Mythril Shards, as the drop rate is so low.
|
|
|
| - Barrel Spider (1%): Barrel Spiders appear in somewhat large amounts in
|
| Monstro. Again, the drop rate here is low, so forget about them.
|
|
|
| - Behemoth (20%): A Behemoth can be fought time and time again at the End |
| of the World. Land in the first area and navigate through the area with |
| invisible walls. You will eventually fight the Behemoth before getting to |
| the next area.
|
|
|
| - Bambi (End of the World - 40%): Land at the World Terminus section of the |
| End of the World and proceed to go back through each battle area. Within |
| each, summon Bambi so that you'll have a good chance for a Mythril Shard. |
| [RECOMMENDED]
|
|_____________________________________________________________________________|
'============================================================================='
_____________________________________________________________________________
|=============================================================================|
| MYTHRIL
|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| - Angel Star (1%): You'll only face these enemies in the area before the
|
| Final Rest area (there are a few encounters with them before that, but
|
| you won't be able to repeat them). Don't even bother.
|
|
|
| - Behemoth (20%): A Behemoth can be fought time and time again at the End |
| of the World. Land in the first area and navigate through the area with |
| invisible walls. You will eventually fight the Behemoth before getting to |
| the next area.
|
| [RECOMMENDED]
|
|_____________________________________________________________________________|
'============================================================================='
_____________________________________________________________________________
|=============================================================================|
| BLAZE SHARD
|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| - Red Nocturne (6%): Red Nocturnes appear in great quantities in Traverse |
| Town and Wonderland. Later, after the events at Hollow Bastion, look for |
| them in Monstro and Hollow Bastion.
|
|
|
| - Bambi (Traverse Town - 40%/60%): Summon Bambi anywhere you're fighting to |
| collect many Blaze Shards in a quick fashion. Especially focus on the
|
| Second District and the Gizmo Shop.
|
| [RECOMMENDED]
|
|_____________________________________________________________________________|
'============================================================================='
_____________________________________________________________________________
|=============================================================================|
| BLAZE GEM
|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| - Bandit (4%): An enemy that only appears in Agrabah, and in decent numbers |

| too. You can pretty much search anywhere for them, but later in the game |
| you should stick primarily to the Cave of Wonders.
|
| [RECOMMENDED]
|
|
|
| - Fat Bandit (8%): These enemies are also Agrabah exclusive. Again, stick |
| to the Cave of Wonders later in the game to face more of them.
|
| [RECOMMENDED]
|
|
|
| - Bambi (Traverse Town - 30%): Summon Bambi pretty much anywhere and you're |
| guaranteed a Blaze Gem or two. Focus on fighting in the Second District |
| and the Gizmo Shop.
|
| [ALTERNATE RECOMMENDATION -> only if you're hunting Blaze Shards]
|
|_____________________________________________________________________________|
'============================================================================='
_____________________________________________________________________________
|=============================================================================|
| FROST SHARD
|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| - Blue Rhapsody (12%): Blue Rhapsodies are at first limited to Traverse
|
| Town, but after the events at Hollow Bastion, you'll find many in
|
| Wonderland, Monstro, and Hollow Bastion. I would stick mainly to
|
| Wonderland if you're searching for these little pests.
|
|
|
| - Bambi (Wonderland - 40%/60%): Summon Bambi pretty much anywhere and
|
| you're guaranteed a Frost Shard. Fight in rooms with many Blue Rhapsodies |
| for even better results.
|
|_____________________________________________________________________________|
'============================================================================='
_____________________________________________________________________________
|=============================================================================|
| FROST GEM
|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| - Sea Neon (4%): If the fact that these creatures appear in Atlantica
|
| doesn't send you instantly running to the hills, you need help. Don't
|
| bother with these guys.
|
|
|
| - Sheltering Zone (8%): Atlantica. No.
|
|
|
| - Bambi (Wonderland - 30%): YES! Much better. Fight in areas with lots of |
| Heartless. Even if you're only averaging one Gem every five minutes
|
| (which you shouldn't be), you're still better off than swimming around
|
| like a fool in Atlantica.
|
| [SUPER ULTRA MAMBO-TANGO-FOXTROT RECOMMENDED!]
|
|_____________________________________________________________________________|
'============================================================================='
_____________________________________________________________________________
|=============================================================================|
| THUNDER SHARD
|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| - Yellow Opera (8%): Yellow Operas will first appear in Traverse Town,
|
| Agrabah, and Monstro. Later in the game, after the events at Hollow
|
| Bastion, search for them in Wonderland and Neverland. I tend to use
|
| Wonderland.
|
|
|

| - Bambi (Deep Jungle - 40%/60%): Again, it's very easy to summon Bambi
|
| anywhere and be guaranteed many Shards. The Cliff area and Treehouse area |
| work exceptionally well.
|
| [RECOMMENDED]
|
|_____________________________________________________________________________|
'============================================================================='
_____________________________________________________________________________
|=============================================================================|
| THUNDER GEM
|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| - Screwdriver (4%): NOPE. Well, maybe. There's just barely enough to make |
| it POSSIBLY worth your while.
|
|
|
| - Aquatank (8%): Really no.
|
|
|
| - Bambi (Deep Jungle - 30%): Stick to the Treehouse and Cliff area, and you |
| wont regret never going back to Atlantica.
|
| [RECOMMENDED SO HARD, IT HURTS.]
|
|_____________________________________________________________________________|
'============================================================================='
_____________________________________________________________________________
|=============================================================================|
| SPIRIT SHARD
|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| - Soldier (8%): Yes, the drop rate is high, and yes they do appear in large |
| amounts during the first half of the game (look in Traverse Town and
|
| Wonderland). Unfortunately, you can only find them in Agrabah and Hollow |
| Bastion after the events at Hollow Bastion, and not in particularly large |
| numbers.
|
|
|
| - Large Body (12%): Another example of an enemy that is plentiful in the
|
| first half of the game, but not in the second. Before the events at
|
| Hollow Bastion, you'll find a lot of them in Traverse Town, Wonderland, |
| and Monstro. However, after the Hollow Bastion stuff, you can only find |
| them in Agrabah and Hollow Bastion.
|
|
|
| - Bambi (Neverland - 40%/60%): You can find plenty of Heartless fodder for |
| Bambi if you know where to look. The very bottom area of the ship (the
|
| dark part) has a boat-load of enemies (pun somewhat intended), and the
|
| captain's quarters has plenty as well.
|
| [RECOMMENDED]
|
|_____________________________________________________________________________|
'============================================================================='
_____________________________________________________________________________
|=============================================================================|
| SPIRIT GEM
|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| - Air Soldier (4%): Plenty of Air Soldiers will scrap with you in Traverse |
| Town, Agrabah, and Monstro. Later in the game, after the events at Hollow |
| Bastion, look for them in Wonderland, Agrabah, and Hollow Bastion. The
|
| Bizarre Room (the floor of it) has plenty of Air Soliders.
|
|
|
| - Bambi (Neverland - 30%): You can find plenty of Heartless in the bottom |
| area of the ship (the dark part), and the captain's quarters, accessible |

| from the deck through one of the doors.

|
| [RECOMMENDED]
|
|_____________________________________________________________________________|
'============================================================================='
_____________________________________________________________________________
|=============================================================================|
| POWER SHARD
|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| - Powerwild (8%/16%): Powerwilds are a mainstay enemy of Deep Jungle. They |
| are very nice about their drops, and appear quite a lot in the first half |
| of the game. Their numbers thin out a bit after the events at Hollow
|
| Bastion. If you are engaged in combat with both a Powerwild and a
|
| Bouncywild, you may get lucky and have a Powerwild slip on a banana peel. |
| This doubles the chance you'll get a Power Shard.
|
| [RECOMMENDED]
|
|
|
| - Bouncywild (12%/24%): Bouncywilds aren't as common as Powerwilds, at
|
| least until the second half of the game, after the events at Hollow
|
| Bastion. At that point, they outnumber their "male" counterparts, making |
| searching for Power Shards that much easier. You will find a ton of them |
| in the Treehouse area. Search inside the treehouse itself, on the
|
| boardwalks around the treehouse, and on the roof of the treehouse itself |
| to find these creatures. You should find around 12 or 13 of them easily. |
| Again, their chances of dropping a Power Shard double when they slip on |
| their own bananas.
|
| [RECOMMENDED]
|
|
|
| - Bambi (Halloween Town - 40%/60%): You won't really have a difficult time |
| finding enough enemies here to use the Bambi trick, but fighting the
|
| Bouncywilds in the Deep Jungle Treehouse just seems faster.
|
|_____________________________________________________________________________|
'============================================================================='
_____________________________________________________________________________
|=============================================================================|
| POWER GEM
|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| - Pirate (4%): Neverland natives, the Pirate Heartless densely populates
|
| the inside areas of the ship. Go almost anywhere to find them.
|
|
|
| - Air Pirate (4%): Also appear only in Neverland, but outside on the deck. |
| [RECOMMENDED]
|
|
|
| - Battleship (8%/16%): Again, only in Neverland and only outside. Break the |
| mast first to double your chances of a Power Gem, and finish the enemy
|
| off for yet another chance!
|
| [RECOMMENDED]
|
|
|
| - Bambi (Halloween Town - 40%/60%): You won't really have a difficult time |
| finding enough enemies here to use the Bambi trick, but fighting the
|
| enemies on the deck of the ship in Neverland is better.
|
|_____________________________________________________________________________|
'============================================================================='
_____________________________________________________________________________
|=============================================================================|
| POWER CRYSTAL
|

|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| - Wyvern (2%): You're stuck with killing Wyverns here. They first appear in |
| Hollow Bastion, and then, following the events there, Traverse Town, Deep |
| Jungle, Agrabah, and Hollow Bastion. I like Traverse Town due to the
|
| sheer numbers of them that appear in the Gizmo Shop and Second District |
| (especially on the rooftops). However, if you're looking for Power Shards |
| in Deep Jungle, you can find these guys around the Treehouse.
|
|_____________________________________________________________________________|
'============================================================================='
_____________________________________________________________________________
|=============================================================================|
| LUCID SHARD
|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| - Shadow (6%): At first, you'll find Shadows in every world except for
|
| Atlantica. In fact, during the course of the game, you'll probably find |
| more Lucid Shards than you'll ever need. However, if you've completed
|
| the events at Hollow Bastion, you're sort of resigned to searching for
|
| Shadows in Halloween Town and Neverland. They will appear in the
|
| Graveyard section of Halloween Town, and the bottom of the ship (the dark |
| part) in Neverland.
|
|
|
| - Bambi (Monstro - 40%/60%): There are insane amounts of enemies in
|
| Monstro. You really won't have much trouble using the Bambi trick.
|
| [RECOMMENDED]
|
|_____________________________________________________________________________|
'============================================================================='
_____________________________________________________________________________
|=============================================================================|
| LUCID GEM
|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| - Wight Knight (4%): Wight Knights appear in decent numbers in Halloween
|
| Town. Run around and you'll find them.
|
|
|
| - Gargoyle (4%): Ditto. They're all over the place in Halloween Town.
|
|
|
| - Bambi (Monstro - 30%): Again, there's a ton of enemies in Monstro.
|
| However, there's a better place to use the Bambi trick, mostly because
|
| getting to Monstro can be a pain.
|
|
|
| - Bambi (Hollow Bastion - 40%/60%): Head to the room with the giant keyhole |
| to find a great Bambi fodder spot. You'll get plenty of Lucid Gems and
|
| Crystals this way. There may be other places in Hollow Bastion that work |
| better for you.
|
| [RECOMMENDED]
|
|_____________________________________________________________________________|
'============================================================================='
_____________________________________________________________________________
|=============================================================================|
| LUCID CRYSTAL
|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| - Darkball (1%): Darkballs make a first appearance in Hollow Bastion. Once |
| you complete the initial events there, they will appear in every single |
| other world, EXCEPT Hollow Bastion and End of the World. I like to fight |

| them in Traverse Town. There's a lot of them in the Gizmo Shop and on the |
| Gizmo Shop roof.
|
|
|
| - Bambi (Hollow Bastion - 30%): As previously mentioned, you can get Lucid |
| Crystals and Lucid Gems alike by heading to the room in Hollow Bastion
|
| with the giant keyhole.
|
|_____________________________________________________________________________|
'============================================================================='
_____________________________________________________________________________
|=============================================================================|
| BRIGHT SHARD
|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| - Green Requiem (10%): In the beginning of the game, you'll find Green
|
| Requiems in Traverse Town, Agrabah, and Monstro. Later, after the events |
| at Hollow Bastion, you'll find them in Deep Jungle and Hollow Bastion.
|
| I like to fight them in Deep Jungle. Head to the Cliff area and jump up |
| on the ledge (to your right as you enter), and you'll find a ton of these |
| dudes.
|
| [RECOMMENDED]
|
|
|
| - Bambi (Agrabah - 40%/60%): Finding enough enemies to fight in Agrabah
|
| should be simple enough. Head deep into the Cave of Wonders, and scout
|
| around there.
|
|_____________________________________________________________________________|
'============================================================================='
_____________________________________________________________________________
|=============================================================================|
| BRIGHT GEM
|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| - Search Ghost (4%): At first, you'll be able to fight Search Ghosts in
|
| Monstro, Atlantica, and Halloween Town. Later, after the events at Hollow |
| Bastion, look for them in Traverse Town, Atlantica, and Halloween Town. |
| I prefer Traverse Town, since you can fight the Darkballs, Defenders,
|
| Wizards, and Wyverns as well, which all drop great materials.
|
|
|
| - Bambi (Agrabah - 30%): Again, you should be able to find enough enemies |
| for Bambi within the Cave of Wonders, but you're probably better off
|
| fighting the Search Ghosts.
|
|_____________________________________________________________________________|
'============================================================================='
_____________________________________________________________________________

| BRIGHT CRYSTAL
|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| - Defender (2%): Defenders make their first appearance in Hollow Bastion. |
| After you complete Hollow Bastion the first time, they will begin
|
| appearing in Traverse Town, Wonderland, and Hollow Bastion. Fight them in |
| the Third District and in the Hotel hallway.
|
|_____________________________________________________________________________|
'============================================================================='
_____________________________________________________________________________
|=============================================================================|
| SHINY CRYSTAL
|

|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| - Wizard (2%): Wizards make their first appearance in Hollow Bastion. After |
| you complete Hollow Bastion for the first time, they will begin appearing |
| in Traverse Town, Wonderland, Deep Jungle, Agrabah, Halloween Town, and |
| Hollow Bastion. Again, I prefer to fight the ones in Traverse Town (the |
| Hotel hallway and the Alley rule), but you may prefer Deep Jungle, or
|
| have somewhat limited luck elsewhere.
|

'============================================================================='
_____________________________________________________________________________
|=============================================================================|
| GALE
|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| - Angel Star (6%): Angel Stars, after you complete the first section of the |
| End of the World, will only appear in the area before the Final Rest
|
| area. This will be your only way to get Gales.
|
|
|
| - Invisible (6%): Oh, and these guys appear in the same area. Same deal.
|
|_____________________________________________________________________________|
'============================================================================='
_____________________________________________________________________________
|=============================================================================|
| ORICHALCUM
|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| - Behemoth (20%): A Behemoth can be fought time and time again at the End |
| of the World. Land in the first area and navigate through the area with |
| invisible walls. You will eventually fight the Behemoth before getting to |
| the next area.
|
| [RECOMMENDED]
|
|
|
| - Invisible (1%): Invisibles appear at the End of the World in the area
|
| before the Final Rest area (once you've exhausted the one-time-only
|
| supply in the first area). Fighting the Behemoth is probably faster.
|
|_____________________________________________________________________________|

| MYSTERY GOO
|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| - Any of the Mushroom enemies will drop this item. If you're skilled with |
| juggling the Rare Truffles, stick to them. If you're good at casting
|
| spells on the White Mushrooms, try them out. The Black Funguses are
|
| pretty much unreliable. I like to land in the Final Rest area and enter |
| the previous area. Most of the time you'll find the White Mushrooms or
|
| the Rare Truffles.
