Story summary[]

Mission walkthrough[]

You will enter in the West Wing. Grab the chest and badge in the area, and then head out towards the West Hall. There, Lumiere will take up his position watching the hall. As always, stay out of his line of sight (represented by the red area) to pass through without problems. Lumiere will cover a much smaller area this time, towards the southern part of the hall, but to compensate he flips back and forth constantly. Good timing will be required to make it through if you desire the chests down there. It would be easier to wait until you have abilities that allow you to move more quickly, such as Glide, to get by the careful candelabra. If you want to head straight for the Undercroft, hop over the stair railing to your right and drop down to the floor there. Lumiere will not be anywhere near you, and you can run for the Undercroft with only a couple of Shadows blocking your way.

To continue through the Undercroft, you must face two Snapper Dogs and a chest containing a Cymbal Monkey. After they are defeated, climb up the junk to the balcony and exit through the door above the one you used to enter. The Secret Passage will be seemingly void of enemies until you reach the large upper level platform. There, the Neoshadow will reveal its presence. Its attacks are vicious, but not too horrible until it sinks under the floor. Keep an eye on it then, and keep away, because when it rises again it will unleash an energy field that deals quite a bit of damage and may inflict you with darkness.

Once it is defeated, and the cutscene completes, you are done! Head back the way you came to RTC, being mindful of Lumiere. As a bonus, if you find all the treasure chests on this mission, talking to Axel between days 97 and 100 will open up optional Mission 35.
