Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix from the [Epic Games Store](https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/discover/kingdom-hearts) or [Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2552430/KINGDOM_HEARTS_HD_1525_ReMIX/)
Load these mods just like you loaded the GoA ROM mod during the KH2 Rando setup. `KH2FM-Mods-equations19/auto-save` and `KH2FM-Mods-equations19/KH2-Lua-Library` Location doesn't matter, required in case of crashes. See [Best Practices](en#best-practices) on how to load the auto save
<h3style="text-transform:none";>Optional QoL Mods: AP QoL and Bear Skip</h3>
`JaredWeakStrike/AP_QOL` Makes the urns minigames much faster, makes Cavern of Remembrance orbs drop significantly more drive orbs for refilling drive/leveling master form, skips the animation when using the bulky vendor RC, skips carpet escape auto-scroller in Agrabah 2, and prevents the wardrobe in the Beasts Castle wardrobe push minigame from waking up while being pushed.
`shananas/BearSkip` Skips all minigames in 100 Acre Woods except the Spooky Cave minigame since there are chests in Spooky Cave you can only get during the minigame. For Spooky Cave, Pooh is moved to the other side of the invisible wall that prevents you from using his RC to finish the minigame.
When you generate a game you will see a download link for a KH2 .zip seed on the room page. Download the seed then open OpenKH Mod Manager and click the green plus and "Select and install Mod Archive".<br>
After Installing the seed click "Mod Loader -> Build/Build and Run". Every slot is a unique mod to install and will be needed be repatched for different slots/rooms.
Start the game through OpenKH Mod Manager. If starting a new run, enter the Garden of Assemblage from a new save. If returning to a run, load the save and enter the Garden of Assemblage. Then run the [ArchipelagoKH2Client.exe](https://github.com/ArchipelagoMW/Archipelago/releases).<br>
- To fix this look over the guide at [KH2Rando.com](https://tommadness.github.io/KH2Randomizer/setup/Panacea-ModLoader/). Specifically the Lua Backend Configuration Step.
- Loading into Simulated Twilight Town Instead of the GOA.
- To fix this look over the guide at [KH2Rando.com](https://tommadness.github.io/KH2Randomizer/setup/Panacea-ModLoader/). Specifically the Panacea and Lua Backend Steps.
- Using a seed from the standalone KH2 Randomizer Seed Generator.
- The Archipelago version of the KH2 Randomizer does not use this Seed Generator; refer to the [Archipelago Setup](https://archipelago.gg/tutorial/Archipelago/setup/en) to learn how to generate and play a seed through Archipelago.
Have any questions on what's in logic? This spreadsheet made by Bulcon has the answer [Requirements/logic sheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nNi8ohEs1fv-sDQQRaP45o6NoRcMlLJsGckBonweDMY/edit?usp=sharing)
- Your Lua Backend was not configured correctly. Look over the step in the [KH2Rando.com](https://tommadness.github.io/KH2Randomizer/setup/Panacea-ModLoader/) guide.
- This is normally caused by having an outdated GOA mod or having an outdated panacea and/or luabackend. To fix this rerun the setup wizard and reinstall luabackend and panacea. Also make sure all your mods are up-to-date.
- The port of Kingdom Hearts 2 can and will randomly crash, this is the fault of the game not the randomizer or the archipelago client.
- If you have a continuous/constant crash (in the same area/event every time) you will want to reverify your installed files. This can be done by doing the following: Open Epic Game Store --> Library --> Click Triple Dots --> Manage --> Verify
- Why am I getting dummy items or letters?
- You will need to get the `JaredWeakStrike/APCompanion` (you can find how to get this if you scroll up)
- Why am I not sending or receiving items?
- Make sure you are connected to the KH2 client and the correct room (for more information scroll up)
- To load an auto-save, hold down the Select or your equivalent on your preferred controller while choosing a file. Make sure to hold the button down the whole time.
