Even though you can get through the Library without activating it, if you place *all* of the books back into their proper places, you'll open the secret door on level 1B of the Library (directly across from the save point.) The secret door leads to a dead-end in the Lift Stop, with a lift that takes you up and outside the castle.

What's easy to miss is the secret door that leads from the Library to the Lift Stop. A few of the books are hidden in different spots: some are on the tables, and there's one on top of the bookcase that's accessible through a green trinity. To work through the Library, you must pick mismatched books off the shelves and put them in their proper spots.

There is a curved staircase by the windows which leads up to Level 1B, with more bookcases, a reading table and a save point. The Library itself exists on two levels: 1A and 1B. The Library is another mini-maze within itself, but also acts as a Heartless-free zone within Hollow Bastion. However, once you complete the puzzle, you can enter the Lift Stop any time. Completing the puzzle requires a few chores on level 1B of the Entrance Hall, which means going through the Library first. You also cannot enter the Lift Stop until you complete a puzzle required to open the door. At first, you can only access level 1B of the Entrance Hall from the Library. There are two new exits from level 1A of the Entrance Hall: the door directly across from the entrance leads to the Lift Stop, and the door to the left leads to the Library. Above you is a platform hanging from chains, and two smaller platforms that hover around the center one. On level 1A is a large fountain, and a staircase that curves on either side of the fountain. It's a basic circular room on two levels: 1A and 1B. The Entrance Hall is where you first enter the castle proper, from the large double doors as the Castle Gates. The lift to the Waterway is on the far right end of the Castle Gates on level 1A. When first visiting Hollow Bastion, you cannot enter the Entrance Hall until you and Beast take a trip to the Base Level and Waterway. (One of these chests should have some puppies in them.) From those lifts, you can glide to three free-standing platforms, both of which contain chests. The lifts can only be reached by the section of the Castle Gates on level 1B. Once both crystals are activated, they do nothing afterwards. To activate these lifts, there is a crystal on each level of the Castle Gates. We'll cover the Base section first (more on that below.) Around the Castle Gates are two lifts that move in two circles above you. The first section, on level 1A, will take you two places: to the Entrance Hall, and to the Base Level. The section on level 1B can only be reached from the Library, and from there the Lift Stop on level 1B. As you enter, you'll notice there are two different sections: one on level 1A and the other on level 1B. The Castle Gates are the direct entrance into Hollow Bastion. There are a few chests under the water, so it is worth seeing where the bubbles actually go.Ĭastle Gates, Entrance Hall, Library, Lift Stop If you enter one of the floating bubbles around the islands, they will take you beneath the water level and let you walk underwater for a brief period of time. Level XB is the water beneath the islands, which you can normally walk on top of. Follow these up in a spiral to reach the first lift, which will take you up to Hollow Bastion itself.

Level XA is what you see first off: a series of floating islands that lead up to the entrance. They serve as the entrance to Hollow Bastion itself, and house a number of chests and one trinity. These are not a part of the castle itself, so they don't necessarily count as a level.

However, they are accurate to the best of my ability. This is all based solely on what I can see by playing the level, so some areas are less than accurate.

Please keep in mind that these maps are *not* to scale. Each of the rooms are ordered by level, or level approximation, as it's near impossible to tell exactly where all of the rooms are in vertical relation to each other. The guide also includes all of the secret passageways and hidden areas of the castle, at least that I have found. Welcome to the Hollow Bastion guide! This guide and map is designed for those who have trouble getting around the maze that is Hollow Bastion…in other words, everyone. (I know there are some inconsistencies.) This took me about a month to complete, working on and off when I was bored. This is a complete drawn map and written guide to Hollow Bastion, at least to the best of my ability. Well, there wasn't really anything posted here yet, so I figured I might as well post this here.
