In Kingdom Hearts III, you learn early on in your adventure about Lucky Emblems, which are Mickey Mouse symbols that you’re encouraged to photograph with your Gummiphone. The reward for photographing Lucky Emblems isn’t made entirely clear at first, but know that doing so will net you the secret ending. If that entices you, then we encourage you to always be on the lookout. Sora, Donald, and Goofy often note when a Lucky Emblem is nearby, so take the time to investigate. They’re usually hidden behind objects, on walls, or somewhere up above.

Depending on the difficulty level you’ve chosen, the number of Lucky Emblems you need to get the secret ending will vary. If you’re playing on easy, you need to get them all, but any difficulty level above that requires less. We’ve yet to collect the full data on how much you need for each difficulty level, but just know that you should start making a habit of snapping shots of these cleverly hidden symbols.

Seeing as you’re here, the importance of this task isn’t lost on you! To help you nab that secret ending, we’ve collected the locations of every Lucky Emblem below. It helps to know that the game organizes all the Lucky Emblems on your Gummiphone in order of where you find them in the world, so if you’re missing one but have the others around it, try covering the ground in-between the two. But if the shots below aren’t enough to point you in the right direction, refer to the video above for further clarification on where each one is.

It’s worth noting that getting all the Lucky Emblems also nets you Orichalcum+, an essential synthesizing material required to craft the best Keyblade in the game, the Ultima Weapon. Photographing all 80 Lucky Emblems is but one of the few ways to get an Orichalcum+; you need seven to craft the Keyblade.

Olympus

Olympus is a great sampler of the open design of the game’s maps. When you start your journey here alongside Hercules, you unfortunately aren’t made aware of Lucky Emblems, but you might’ve noticed their presence. Aside from the one hidden in the Forge to the north of the Realm of the Gods save point, most of the Lucky Emblems are found along its multiple pathways. For further clarification on where to find them all, jump to the “00:20” mark in the video above.

Twilight Town

Twilight Town covers a relatively small area, which makes getting all nine of its Lucky Emblems a cinch. They’re mostly hidden in easy-to-miss spots and places up high. But if you haven’t been back to Twilight Town in ages, you can jump to the “03:12” mark in the video above for additional clarification.

Toy Box

The Toy Box world has pretty clear delineations between its few areas. That said, most of its Lucky Emblems are cleverly hidden in spots you wouldn’t expect. For additional guidance, jump to the “05:41” mark in the video above.

Kingdom of Corona

With such a lush forest filling up the majority of its runtime, it’s a bit surprising that most of the Kingdom of Corona’s Lucky Emblems are actually located in town. Finding these should be no trouble, but if you need assistance, jump to the “08:10” mark in the video above.

Monstropolis

Monstrolpolis is another area where you might have trouble locating its Lucky Emblems. Clever visual tricks make spotting them all a chore for the untrained eye. These shots should help clear things up, but you’re welcome to jump the “10:46” mark in the video above if you’re lost.

Arendelle

While Arendelle is a beautiful winter wonderland, it’s rather difficult to find many of its Lucky Emblems given how its copious amounts of snow makes a few of its areas look rather similar to each other. If you’re struggling, refer to the “13:19” mark in the video above for more explicit directions on where to find each Lucky Emblem.

Hundred Acre Wood

Winnie the Pooh and friends have the smallest world in Kingdom Hearts III. Its three Lucky Emblems are tucked away in unexpected corners. You can see the locations in more detail at the “17:20” mark in the video above.

San Fransokyo

There’s a lot of vertical space in San Fransokyo, which makes finding its Lucky Emblems difficult. Just know that you’re going to find the majority of them at the world’s highest points. But if the constant climb upwards is waring you down, jump to the “17:52” mark in the video above for additional reference.

The Caribbean

The Caribbean is by far the largest area in the game, which makes it rather tough to root out all of its Lucky Emblems. A bunch of islands make up the sum of its massive map, so if you’re having trouble pinpointing where everything is, we’ve made notes starting at the “20:44” mark in the video above.

Dead or Alive 6 director Yohei Shimbori has announced that the upcoming fighting game will have a free-to-play version that only includes the “core fighters.” This additional version of the game was previously hinted at after a posting for “Dead or Alive 6 Core Fighters” appeared on the Microsoft Store, before quickly being taken down.

“First of all, about the listing on the Microsoft Store, that was a mistake from the development team,” Shimbori said in an interview with Siliconera. “We do have plans to make a free-to-play version, but we haven’t announced when it will be available. We can promise it will be out post-launch of the full game. We can’t talk about it yet since we don’t have concrete details about what will be included yet. But, it will be similar to what we had with Dead or Alive 5: Core Fighters.”

Dead or Alive 5: Core Fighters is a free version of the fifth DoA mainline game. It only gives you four playable fighters, with the option to unlock a few costumes. It was followed by two other versions of Dead or Alive 5, a complete collection of the main game and all DLC called Ultimate and a HD remaster called Last Round.

Team Ninja hopes that Dead or Alive 6 can be a point of transition for the fighting game series. The developer wants the game to be an esports contender, and also get more people to jump into the franchise. To help with the latter goal, new fighting mechanics have been added to the game to streamline combos and counters for less experienced players. Team Ninja is also trying to tone down on the sexual fan service present throughout the franchise, and deliver a more compelling narrative in the single-player campaign.

Dead or Alive 6 was originally scheduled for release on February 15–alongside half a dozen other games–before being delayed to March 1. The game will be available on Xbox One, PS4, and PC.

Phoenix Labs has announced that its Monster Hunter-like game, called Dauntless, will move from its own current launcher to the Epic Games Store. Also, when the game releases on consoles and mobile later this year, Dauntless will support both cross-platform multiplayer and progression on all systems.

There hasn’t been an official confirmation as to when Dauntless current launcher will be retired, but it’s probable that the PC version of the game will move to the Epic Games Store prior to or around the Xbox One and PS4 release. Phoenix Labs aims to have every player’s saved data for Dauntless be tied to their Epic accounts, so when they transition to another system, their data goes with them. This system will apply to the Nintendo Switch and mobile versions of the game that launch later this year as well, allowing for total cross-play.

Phoenix Labs has also announced the release of Hunt Pass Season Two, which is now live in Dauntless and continues until March 13. This second season is Valentine’s Day-themed, and introduces new limited-time rewards, such as platinum bundles and romantic emotes. The pass has a free Basic track, and an Elite track that costs 1,000 platinum. Both tracks have 50 levels, but going Elite will net you special Ace chips and notes, exclusive transmogs, and more.

Dauntless is currently still in open beta on PC. When it launches on the Epic Game Store, your progress will carry over, regardless of which platform you choose to play on. Dauntless is scheduled for an April release on Xbox One and PS4, and will also launch on Switch and mobile before 2020.

Dauntless is simply the latest in a long long of exclusive titles that Epic has managed to secure. Although the new PC game store started out with smaller exclusives, such as Ashen and Hades, it has recently been making larger moves. For example, both Metro Exodus and The Division 2 are launching exclusively through Epic, and Ubisoft has confirmed that more of its 2019 titles are scheduled to only release through the PC game store as well.
