Synthesis Guide
Opening the Synthesis Shop
To open and use the Synthesis shop in Kingdom Hearts 1.5 Final Mix you’ll need to have completed Agrabah and gained the Green Trinity ability.
After completing Agrabah, head to Traverse Town. Here inside the Item Shop, you’ll find a Green Trinity on the floor by the table in the center of the room. Activate the Green Trinity to lower a ladder to the Second Floor of the Item Shop.
Up here you’ll find several Moogles have opened a Synthesis Shop. The materials that you gather from enemies as you progress through the game can be turned in here and synthesized into other items.
Completing all of the Synthesis Recipes is also needed for unlocking several Trophies for the game. Including; First Synthesis, Synthesis Novice, Synthesis Amateur, Synthesis Vet, Synthesis Master, Blade Master, Master Magician, and Master Defender.
Best Abilities for Synthesis Farming
Gathering the required materials for the Synthesis Shop can be a real grind. To make things a little easier you’re going to want to consider the following abilities for your party; Encounter Plus and Lucky Strike.
How to get the Encounter Plus Ability
Encounter Plus is granted by the Moogles in the Synthesis Shop. This is a reward for completing 15 of the Synthesis items. Try to focus on the early and easier-to-make items to get this as fast as you can.
Encounter Plus can be equipped for 1 AP. It allows the Heartless in an area to respawn after you go one ‘zone’ away instead of the usual two. This will greatly speed up your gathering, as you can now simply leave an area and come back in for the enemies to have respawned.
How to get the Lucky Strike Ability
Lucky Strike is an ability that costs 2 AP to equip in Kingdom Hearts 1.5 Final Mix. It is obtained by leveling your characters and boosts the Drop Chance % of items from enemy Heartless. Each party member that equips the skill boosts the chances further. With all three party members equipped with Lucky Strike, the chance of an enemy dropping an item is boosted by 2.5 times. This means a 4% drop would become a 10% chance of the item dropping.
Lucky Strike is learned at different levels, for Sora, depending on which of the weapons he picked at the start of the game. If he picked the Dream Shield then Sora will learn Lucky Strike at level 24. If he picked the Dream Rod then he will learn it at level 48, and if he picked the Dream Sword then it is level 90.
Donald learns Lucky Strike at level 44, and Goofy learns Lucky Strike at level 24.
Remember to equip it to the entire party to maximize the effect.
Complete Materials List
Here is a complete list of all the required materials along with the amounts to gather as you progress through the game. If you start grinding for a particular material, make sure to grab the amount listed here. This will allow you to gather enough of the item to synthesize one of each of the Synthesis Shops Recipes, saving you quite a lot of time, traveling back and forwards to farm more for later items.

Synthesis Lists
As you Synthesize more of the items on offer you’ll unlock recipes. To trigger this you’ll need to exit the Synthesis menu and speak to the Moogle again. When you first enter you’ll have access to only the first list of items below, continue to Synthesize new items to unlock the further lists of items.
Unlocking the Fourth Set of Synthesis Items will also trigger the Moogles to grant Sora the Encounter Plus ability. This ability makes farming items easier, usually, you’re required to go 2 screens away from an area to respawn its Heartless. Once you equip Encounter Plus the Heartless will respawn every time you re-enter an area. Try to make obtaining this ability an early priority, as it will greatly reduce the time to farm the materials needed for the rest of the Synthesis Recipes.

Stones
Blazing Stone
Total Amount Required: 7
This is a new material introduced in Kingdom Hearts 1.5 Final Mix. They drop from a new unique Heartless in Halloween Town. Before attempting to farm these, make sure you have the Aerora or Aeroga spell, as both of these will make the fight significantly easier.
Head to the location in Halloween Town where Oogie’s Manor used to be, on a rock towards the middle of the arena you’ll spawn the new Heartless called the Chimera. Cast Aeroga on yourself and attack it until it slumps over. Once it slumps over, it will release multiple colored balls that will bounce around it. You need to hit the balls back into the Chimera to damage it, if you have Aerora or Aeroga active, then the spell will take care of this for you. Once all the balls have returned to the Chimera the process starts over again, simply follow the pattern until it is defeated to gain 1-3 of the Blazing Stones for your trouble.
| Material: | Enemy: | Drop Chance: | Where to find: |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blazing Stones | Chimera | 35% | Halloween Town |
Dazzling Stone
Total Amount Required: 6
This new material is found from the unique Heartless on the Deck of the Pirate Ship in Neverland, called the Jet Balloon.
This Heartless can be tricky to fight, you’ll need ideally both Aeroga and Stopga for this fight. The Jet Balloon will run away if approached by Sora if he is flying. You can try to approach by walking on the deck below the Jet Balloon and then coming up underneath it. It is incredibly quick to run away and fire missiles at Sora though.
The best strategy is to cast Aeroga on yourself, this will help deflect its missile attacks while casting Stopga on the Jet Balloon to allow you to approach it and use a combo. You’ll need to keep reapplying Stop until it is defeated. Make sure you defeat it over the Ship instead of the water, as any items that fall into the water cannot be collected.
| Material: | Enemy: | Drop Chance: | Where to find: |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dazzling Stone | Jet Balloon | 100% | Neverland |
Energy Stone
Total Amount Required: 6
You can find Energy Stones by defeating the new unique Heartless in Hollow Bastion, the Stealth Soldier. The easiest place to find and farm them is in the Entrance Hall area of Hollow Bastion.
You’ll know that Stealth Soldiers have spawned (since they start off invisible) if only one Large Body Heartless spawns in the Entrance Hall. Make liberal use of the Stop spell to hold them in place while you beat them down, Aeroga can also help to reduce the damage that they inflict as well. Be warned that three Stealth Soldiers can spawn at a time in the Entrance Hall area.
Once they take enough damage they will become visible, if you take too long to defeat them they will leave the area.
| Material: | Enemy: | Drop Chance: | Where to find: |
|---|---|---|---|
| Energy Stone | Stealth Soldier | 35% | Hollow Bastion |
Frost Stone
Total Amount Required: 7
Frost Stones are obtained from the unique Heartless in Monstro’s Stomach area, called the Grand Ghost.
Bring a large supply of Megalixir’s with you for this battle, as the Grand Ghost cannot be hurt by regular means, and instead must be defeated by having Sora throw healing items on it.
Move close enough to the Heartless that you can select it as a target and throw a Megalixir at it to defeat it in one hit. This also guarantee’s a 100% drop of 1x Frost Stone. Repeat as needed.
| Material: | Enemy: | Drop Chance: | Where to find: |
|---|---|---|---|
| Frost Stone | Grand Ghost | 100% if killed by a Megalixir | Monstro |
Fury Stone
Total Amount Needed: 5
You’ll be able to obtain these from the unique Heartless in Wonderland, called the Gigas Shadow.
These Heartless will disappear if they manage to hit Sora, you need to defeat them without being struck. Aeroga combined with long-range attacks like Strike Raid or Blizzard magic are a great strategy to deal with them. You can also use Dumbo to eliminate them, as they cannot reach you while riding Dumbo.
| Material: | Enemy: | Drop Chance: | Where to find: |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fury Stone | Gigas Shadow | % increases for each Gigas Shadow defeated to a max of 100% for all 7. | Wonderland |
Lightning Stone
Total Amount Needed: 5
Lightning Stones are dropped by the unique Heartless in Deep Jungle, the Black Ballade.
Head into the Thicket area to find a Heartless that will split itself in 5. It will then ‘shuffle’ the 5 copies of itself and make you guess which is the original. As it is shuffling you can spam the START button on your controller to effectively watch the shuffle in slow motion. This gives you a much better chance of following the movement and guessing the correct Heartless.
| Material: | Enemy: | Drop Chance: | Where to find: |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lightning Stone | Black Ballade | 10% chance for a correct guess the first three times. 100% for the fourth correct guess. | Deep Jungle |
Mythril Stone
Total Amount Required: 8
Mythril Stones are found from Agrabah’s unique Heartless the Pot Scorpion. Head into the Palace Gates area and you’ll find it full of pots. One of these pots contains the Heartless, you can tell which by trying to push them with Sora. Run up against the pots and if moves then it does not contain the Heartless and you should smash it. Continue until only one pot remains, and you cannot move the pot by running into it.
Attack the remaining pot to reveal the Pot Scorpion. The Pot Scorpion can only be damaged when it is flipped onto its back, by one of its attacks being guarded against. You can trivialize this fight if you wait until you have Aeroga, or you can use Sora’s Guard ability to deflect its claw attacks and flip it onto its back before unleashing a combo.
| Material: | Enemy: | Drop Chance: | Where to find: |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mythril Stone | Pot Scorpion | 35% if you break all the other pots before engaging the Scorpion. 20% if you don't break the other pots. | Agrabah |
Power Stones
Total Amount Required: 5
Power Stones are dropped by Traverse Town’s unique Heartless the Sniperwild. When you head into the Second District sometimes the enemies will not spawn and instead, you’ll see a monkey in the lower area, this is the Sniperwild. If it sees you, it will begin to shoot homing projectiles at you, it will also sound an alarm calling its friends to do the same. Before long Sora will be overwhelmed and you’ll either need to leave the area, or you’ll faint.
The trick here is to use the Stop spell, preferably Stopra or Stopga, hit the Sniperwild with Stop to freeze it, and unleash a combo or two on it while it is stopped. Once the first is defeated, two more will spawn in the area, you need to be quick and freeze them as well before taking them out. After the two are taken out then three will spawn. Between waves, you may want to create some distance between yourself and where the Sniperwilds spawn so you can wait for some to wander away from the group to make it easier to pick them off.
They will continue to repeat this spawn pattern of 1-2-3 and then back to 1 again until you have defeated 30 total. Each Sniperwild you defeat increases your chance of obtaining a Power Stone.
| Material: | Enemy: | Drop Chance: | Where to find: |
|---|---|---|---|
| Power Stone | Sniperwild | 35%-100% increasing as you defeat more of them. | Traverse Town |
Stormy Stone
Total Amount Required: 4
Stormy Stones are dropped by the unique Heartless at the End of the World, called Neoshadows. Right at the end of the Linked Worlds area, you can fight a wave of Neoshadows.

Serenity Power
Total Amount Required: 7
Serenity Power is dropped by the unique Heartless, Pink Agaricus in the Deep Jungle Treehouse area.
The Pink Agaricus has a gimmick that makes obtaining this material a little difficult. First, you need to summon the Pink Agaricus and then cast Stop on it, while it is stopped you need to hit it a certain amount of times to qualify for a chance at the Serenity Power dropping. To obtain the Serenity Power from the Pink Agaricus you’ll need to hit it a minimum of 40 times. Once Stop wears off the Pink Agaricus will no longer be able to be hit, it will drop some items and flee.
| Hits: | Rewards: |
|---|---|
| 10-30 | Potion (100%) Munny |
| 40-60 | Hi-Potion (100%) Serenity Power (10%) Munny |
| 70-90 | Ether (100%) Serenity Power (20%) Munny |
| 100 | Mystery Goo (100%) Serenity Power (100%) Prime Cap (100%) Munny |
First of all, in order to spawn the Pink Agaricus, you’ll need to head to the Treehouse in the Deep Jungle. Here you’ll sometimes find that 3 White Mushrooms have spawned instead of the usual enemies. All of the White Mushrooms will want you to use Stop on them. The locations for the 3 White Mushrooms is randomly chosen from the following:
- On the way up to the Treehouse.
- In the small Boat dangling off the edge.
- Second Floor of Treehouse on the inside.
- Second Floor of Treehouse on the Outside.
- On a beam in the ceiling of the Treehouse.
- On a beam outside the Treehouse, this one can’t be seen easily unless your standing directly below it.
- On the end of the beam that holds the small boat.
Finding the 3 White Mushrooms and using Stop on them will spawn the much larger Pink Agaricus on the inside of the Treehouse.
Ideally to reach 100 Hits you’re going to need at least 14 MP on Sora. Equip your best MP enhancing Accessories and best MP boosting Keyblade, Diamond Dust is likely your best bet. Having both Stopga and Aeroga will also be very useful.
Make sure to equip Sora with Ragnarok and Hurricane Blast.
When you’re prepared, cast Aeroga on Sora and Stopga on the Pink Agaricus. Target its Head and cast Ragnarok, if you land the ending of it perfectly it will cause another 25 hits from the finisher. You won’t be able to cast Ragnarok again until the finisher has ended, so unleash a combo or two until Ragnarok is available again. Repeat until Stop expires.
Using this method you should easily reach a minimum of 40 hits and have a chance at the Serenity Power material dropping.
