'Kingdom Hearts 3 Photo Mission Guide

Kingdom Hearts 3 features a collection of Photo Missions that encourage Sora to take pictures of specific things in various worlds to earn valuable Synthesis materials. Especially if you're working towards that Ultima Keyblade, here are all the locations you should know.

Flame Core: Go to Thebes, make your way to the Overlook spawn point and go down the flights of stairs. A bunch of Flame Cores should spawn there. They look like big, Fiery cauldrons. While you're here, take a picture of the statue of Hercules in Agora. That's another photo mission.

Water Core: By the rivers in Olympus. If you've unlocked the Caribbean world, they're also basically everywhere around the ocean. They look like Flame Cores but with a watery aesthetic.

Fire in the Secluded Forge: Use the Corridor spawn and climb up the stairs ahead. Climb up two small flights till you come to a straightaway rail slide. Hop on. Take a right from there, and you'll fall down into some mist. You'll land in the Forge area. Take a picture of this big structure in the center.

Zeus: You'll find Zeus hanging out in the Cloud Ridge area of Olympus.

Tram: Look for the big trolley that scoots its way around Twilight Town. You can't miss it.

Chief Puff: The primary place to find these is around the Kingdom of Corona. They're the enemies that look like big dandelions. Use the Forest Hills spawn and walk around a bit. You shouldn't have much trouble encountering one. While you're here, take a picture of Rapunzel's Tower too. That's another mission.

Festival: Also in Corona, use the Thoroughfare spawn and take a picture of all the decorations.

Big Beasts and Bugs Wall Display: In Toy Box, use the Pest Area spawn to get to the second floor. Then go into the ACTION store, in the back to the Action Figures section and you'll see this extensive display.

Big Green Cactuar: In the story mission where you use blocks to build up to the dark void, you'll make a huge Cactuar in the Kid Koral area. To get back there, go to the third floor and through the Play Place.

Ice Palace: Use the Mountain Ridge spawn to get there. The palace will be right in front of you.

Olaf: In the postgame, he stands right outside the Ice Palace.

Scarecrow: Look for him in the gardens of the Hundred Acre Wood.

Evening Star : In San Fransokyo, warp to North District Night and climb up the big building with blue neon lights in front of you. Get to its highest point, and point your camera towards the sky. You should see a star brighter than all the others.

Fish-Shaped Wind Socks : These are the colorful balloons you'll see scattered across San Fransokyo during the day. They're commonly seen in the Central District.

Port Royal Waterfall : From the Settlement spawn, head down the stairs and past the docks. You'll see the waterfall off to the right of the small bridge.
