Orichalcum

← Back to Synthesis Materials List

Orichalcum is one of the high-end rare synthesis materials in Kingdom Hearts. In the Final Mix version of the game (which is the most accessible these days), there are no Heartless that drop the valuable ore.

But there are 19 pieces of Orichalcum scattered through the many worlds in the game.

Though once you reach Hollow Bastion, you can return to the Traverse Town item shop and purchase Orichalcum for 5000 munny a pop. Ain’t cheap, but accessible.

Though with how many chests contain free Orichalcum, consider this a last resort for your Orichalcum needs.

Using Orichalcum

Orichalcum doesn’t make the most exciting stuff (though that EXP Bracelet is pretty nice).

But making everything that requires it is a stepping stone to making the really nice stuff such as the Ultima Weapon.
