KH3D NG+ Route Notes

This guide is a work-in progress. It now reflects the new dream eater route (6/18/14)
Last Updated: 7/20/14

Pre-game set up: The game file you will use for this run should only have the following Dream Eaters:
Jugglepup x4, Aura Lion, Ryu Dragon, Majik Lapin, Sir Kyroo, and Wheeflower.
Sir Kyroo - Disposition: Paladin, maxed affinity
Majik Lapin - Disposition: Accomplice, maxed affinity
Wheeflower - Disposition: Multitasker
All other dispositions/affinities do not matter.

Note: Throughout the game be sure to participate in battle portals to accumulate DP and experience. Spend DP on Magic Gains followed by Drop Decelerators when dropping.

Dives necessary to A-rank for rewards: Prankster's Paradise for Balloonra, Country of the Musketeers for Zero Graviga.
Attempt to A-rank every dive if possible for Divewing since it has +1 magic over Counterpoint.

Sora - Level 13 + Divewing or Level 15/16 + Counterpoint
Riku - Level 15 + Divewing or Level 17 + Counterpoint
