Kingdom Hearts 3: How to Synthesize

How to Synthesize Items, Upgrades and More in Kingdom Hearts 3

Many popular mechanics from across the series have returned in Kingdom Hearts 3, not least of which is item synthesis. As such, you’ll want to know how to synthesize in Kingdom Hearts 3 sooner rather than later.

A key mechanic in most every entry in the Kingdom Hearts series, item synthesis allows players to create new items, weapons and equipment from materials gained by defeating enemies.

Aside from providing some awe inspiring rare weapons at later stages of the game, this mechanic is also crucial for keeping you flush with healing items and the like throughout the game, and should be used readily if you have the materials necessary.

Synthesizing in the game couldn’t be simpler either. Next to almost any save point in the game, you’ll find a Moogle Shop that you can interact with in order to synthesize items. These Moogle Shops will always be marked by a blue symbol on the map.

After interacting with the Moogle Shop, you’ll see the option to synthesize within the drop-down menu. Select it, and from there you can select which synthesis recipe you’d like to follow and create the desired item, so long as you have all the materials.

Likewise, the option to synthesize upgrades for your Keyblades will be available as well. Like with synthesizing items, these will require a requisite amount of materials to create.

Should you ever find yourself in need of more materials for synthesis, try grinding against the many enemies in Kingdom Hearts 3 for the materials they drop.

Almost every enemy drops some sort of material, and the more you beat the more materials you’ll have for crafting.

Hopefully this clears up how to synthesize in Kingdom Hearts 3. The game is currently available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. For More on the game, check out our Kingdom Hearts 3 wiki for everything you’ll need to know about its puzzles, secrets and more.
