That's where our complete Kingdom Hearts 3 guide comes in, giving you all the help you need to see you through to the conclusion of the game. From photo missions and Lucky Emblems locations, to keyblades and constellations, we've got everything you need to succeed in this Kingdom Hearts 3 guide.

Kingdom Hearts 3 tips

Before we get into the nitty gritty of the various collectibles in Kingdom Hearts 3, we thought you might want some more generic, beginner-friendly Kingdom Hearts 3 tips to get you started. They cover things like how best to use Donald and Goofy, what to buy from the Moogle shops and more, and hopefully you find them as helpful as we have.  

Kingdom Hearts 3 Lucky Emblems locations - Where to find all the Hidden Mickeys

Possibly the biggest, and probably most adorable, collectible in all of Kingdom Hearts 3 are the Hidden Mickeys. Introduced just after you get your mitts on the Gummiphone, the Kingdom Hearts 3 Lucky Emblems (as they're officially called) are Mickey Mouse-shaped icons hidden seamlessly in the various environments you traverse in the game. And with over 90 to collect, you are definitely going to need to Google this one. 

Kingdom Hearts 3 Golden Herc figures locations - Where to find all the golden Hercules figures

As you play through the first world, Olympus, you'll spot that there are little Hercules dolls everywhere. What is he, some kind of Avenger? But you'll soon find a young lad who's lost his collection of Kingdom Hearts 3 Golden Herc figures, and it's up to you to round up all five and return them to him.
