Chapter I -- Introduction -- dh-1

	Another great game at the wonders of Atlus.  Unfortunately, it was 
released to the US at
the same Kingdom Hearts happened to be released.  Probably not coincedently both 
are released at
the same time, but I think Atlus thought Dual Hearts might have brought in more 
sales regarding
Kingdom Hearts as a "Disney" game.

Chapter V -- Walkthrough -- dh-5

You start the game by seeing a bunch of movies.  Skip them if you want don't want 
to know whats
going on in the story or you already know what's going on.

Here you will encounter your first puzzle.  An extremely simple puzzle, but still 
a puzzle.  Head
back and take the left path.  Then push the block against the wall and jump onto 
the top of it.
Jump and grab the edge on top of it and jump on the switch.  Then goto the other 
side and jump
onto the log and then onto the ladder.  Jump onto that switch and then a door 
will open.  Next
a scene with your rival, Val and then a scene with Tumble will occur.  Skip them 
if you want.

Then onto the very first dream you enter.

-=|A Strange Place (Val's Dream)|=-

Dream Energy: 0/1
Gold Esamons: 0/8
Dream Coins: 0/100
Dream Keys: 0/1
Other Items: 0/7

First climb the ladder and hit the switch.  Jump down and carry the crate over to 
the other side
and throw it.  Jump on top of the crate and then jump and grab onto the ledge and 
pull yourself
up.  Then throw the red spiral onto the red spiral pad.  Jump across the newly 
appeared platforms
and then climb across the fence thing on the side.  Brings back memories of the 
Super Mario World
age, *sniff*.  Then pull the block onto the switch and proceed.  Now, go through 
the maze like
path, while avoiding the spike balls at the same time and then pick up the 
crate.  Be careful to
time it right so you don't get hit by the spike balls carrying the crate back to 
throw it at the
wall to climb up to the portal.  You'll see a lot of dream boxes that contain HP 
Restore S items.
You can save them if you want for the boss ahead but you shouldn't really need 
them.  You'll
come up to a scene with a giant money bag blocking the path.  Tumble will then 
give you your
first holy instruments to beat up the money bag.  Just hit him a few times and he 
will then run
away.  Tumble will then join you and teach you some abilities as well.  Gather 
the coins around
the edge of the level and gather the four in the center.  Then go talk to the 
sheep.  The sheep
will teach you some more abilities for you to learn.  When you're ready, go 
through the back door
to fight the boss.

BOSS: Moneybag

Strategy: Easy boss, probably the easiest in the game.  Just keep hitting him 
with your spear or
sword and he will go down quickly.  Some times he might chase you or other times 
he might shoot
dollar bills at you from his behind.

Difficulty: Very Easy (1)

You'll then be teleported outta the dream with the sheep along for the ride.

Dream Completed: 23%
Dream Energy: 1/1
Gold Esamons: 1/8
Dream Coins: 23/100
Dream Keys: 1/1
Other Items: 0/7

After returning to the real world, you can now enter one of the doors using the 
dream key you
just got.  You will then have to take the Hall of Treasure - Yellow trial.  Easy 
trial, the only
one that is somewhat difficult is the second puzzle.  First take the far block 
and drag it under
so it is parallel with the top block.  Then jump up and drag the top block out.  
Then take the
bottom block so it's parallel with the top block.  Then take the top block and 
push it across the
bottom block and then put both of them on the two switches.

Chapter VI -- Items -- dh-6

Ragna Sword -- One of the two first weapons you acquire in the game.  Can be 
charged to do a hit
attack which is a wide, long slash.  Can also be teamed up with card elemental to 
create an
elemental sword.

Friendship Sword -- A sword that has more range than the ragna sword.  You get it 
from completing
Toma's Dream.  There's one disadvantage seeing as it isn't quite as strong as the 
Ragna Sword.

Spear -- Another one of the first weapons.  can be charged to do a spinning 
strike.  Can be used
to fling things into the air and works rather well at killing enemies.

Defender -- A shield you acquire after hunting after your first orb.  Very useful 
seeing as it
can't be used to block almost any attack.

Card -- Can absorb different esamons which give different elemental properties.  
It can also be
used like a boomerang.

Here's a list of the elemental properties:

Red Esamon = Fire
Blue Esamon = Ice
Yellow Esamon = Electric
White Esamon = Normal
Black Esamon = Normal

Remote Bomb -- Press button to lay the bomb.  Then go from any distance and 
detonate.  The bomb
does not hurt you which is probably a good thing.  Can be used to blow up things 
and hurt things.

Arbalest -- One handed Crossbow.  Can be paired with Card to use elemental 
arrows.  Can also be
charged to perform a piercing attack.

Snake Fangs -- Snake Fangs are similar to the hookshot from Zelda.
