Please be aware that this FAQ may contain spoilers, though not many at the moment. So what exactly is a Reaction Command you say? Well, read on to find out. -- What is a Reaction Command? Reaction Commands appear throughout the game at certain times when examining items or fighting an enemy. They will allow you to access special commands through the use of the /\ button. This FAQ will list all the Reaction Command associated with each individual normal enemy throughout the game and will give you information on how to access each command. -- What are the uses of Enemy Reaction Commands? They will allow you to get the drop on enemies during certain battles and take some major damage quickly, if timed correctly, most of the time. Many of the commands will hit multiple enemies on the screen. Please note that not all enemies have Reaction Commands. With that said, please enjoy this FAQ and give me an email if you have any questions, comments, or if you find anything that I missed. Any comments, suggestions, questions, etc. are always welcome. Email me at berserker_kev@yahoo.com. Also, if you find any errors in this FAQ (I don't care how little of an error), then please email me about it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- / \ |\ /\ /| |\ /\ / \ /\ /| |\ /\ /| | \ / \ / | | \ / \ / \ / \ / | | \ / \ / | | (___) (___) |_ _ _ _| (___) (___) (___) (___) |_ _ _ _| (___) (___) | | Section II | | ENEMY REACTION COMMAND LIST | |Kingdom Hearts| |______________|_ _ _ _|_______________________________|_ _ _ _|_____ II _____| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The commands listed with numbers are separate commands that are entirely different. Commands listed with letters are the broken up parts for one big command sequence. In other words you have to do them all in order for the latter (a before b, etc.) The locations listed for each enemy are based on the locations for the setup of the enemies at the end of the game (aka. final save at The Town that Never Was). All the enemies are listed in alphabetical order under each class. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ******************************* THE HEARTLESS ********************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ** Aerial Knocker Reaction Command: Rapid Blow (LION FORM EXCLUSIVE) When: The command appears right before his punching attack.

A: Use Sora's "Guard" ability right before an attack or you can attack the moment the enemy attacks. A partner can also deflect an attack. [2] Q: Why doesn't this Reaction Command work in the Pride Lands? A: There are only four Reaction Commands from three enemies available in the Pride Lands that are exclusive to Sora's lion form (Aerial Knocker, Living Bone, Living Bone w/Shaman). The rest of the Reaction Commands for other enemies will not work on that particular. [3] Q: Why am I finding different enemies in the stages other than what you have listed? A: The list is based off of the enemies that will appear once you have made your way all the way up to The Town That Never Was. The pirates in Port Royal are replaced by Heartless, Disney Castle is clean of all Heartless, etc. [4] Q: Sometimes Heartless appear in this area and sometimes Nobodies appear here...WTF!? A: Ah, exactly my friend! Sometimes while backtracking through an area, Nobodies will appear instead of Heartless and vice versa. I have mainly noticed this in Beast's Castle and Port Royal. [5] Q: Is there a way to take Goofy or Donald out of my partner so they will stop killing the enemies or messing up my timing while trying to get these Reaction Commands to work? A: Not that I know of. The best way I have found to limit them a bit is to equip them with the worst weapon possible and unequip all their skills. That's what I did while writing this guide and it helped out a good bit, even though I still wish I could kill them at times... UPDATE: Set Goofy and Donald to "Sora Attack" under customize so that they will only support Sora. [6] Q: Where are the Timeless River and Space Paranoids stages? A: Timeless River is in the Hall of Cornerstone of Disney Castle and Space Paranoids can be accessed through the computer in Ansem's Study. [7] Q: Where are the enemies in Twilight Town? A: Check the Mansion or the Tunnels of the Station. Tunnel entrances can be found throughout the town. [8] Q: Why did you make a FAQ on Reaction Commands? A: Because they're a blast to do and some of them are a bit harder to figure out then others, hence the FAQ. [9] Q: Last question. Okay, what the HELL is up with that face at the bottom of your FAQ? >_> A: What, you don't like it? Free time is a wonderful thing friend! ^_^ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |\ /\ /| |\ / \ /| |\ /\ /| | \ / \ / | | \ / \ / | | \ / \ / | | (___) (___) |_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _| (___) (___) |_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _| (___) (___) | | Section IV | |Everything Else| |Kingdom Hearts| |______________|_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _|_______________|_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _|_____ II _____| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Copyright This document Copyright 2006 Kevin Hall (Berserker) Kingdom Hearts II Copyright Disney, Developed by SQUARE ENIX.
