Introduction

Hi! After wrapping up KH1.5+2.5, I continue my guide journey with the first title in the 2.8 collection: Dream Drop Distance. Sorry for the delay for those of you who have been patiently waiting!

This time, the objectives are not as demanding as Birth by Sleep, since Sora and Riku share many of these collectibles, but it will still take some time. I hope that this guide will help you keep track of what you're missing.

Only one Steam KH-title left... see you soon with the guide for KH0.2!

Overview

What is this?
This is a spreadsheet I made in Google Sheets where you can mark checkboxes to keep track of the collectibles you already unlocked and the ones you are missing. It includes checklists for Reports entries, treasure chests, Spirits, and more, so that you can check the progress of your playthrough.

How to edit the checklist
If you access the spreadsheets through the links above, you will notice that you cannot edit the files and, therefore, cannot keep track of your progress. Just follow these simple steps:

• Open the link to the spreadsheet, and you will arrive at the Welcome page.
  
• In the Welcome page, click on the text box which says "Make a copy".
  
• A new tab will open. If you are not logged in with a Google account, you will need to log in or create a new one.
  
• If you are already logged in with a Google account, you will see a message asking you if you would like to create a copy of "Guide & Checklist — [GAME]".
  
• Click on Make a copy. A copy of this spreadsheet will be automatically created in your Drive directory, and your copy of the document will open right away. And that's it! You already have your own checklist file, which you can edit to your heart's content.

Below you will find a description of some features that you can take advantage of while tracking your progress.

Useful features

• Checkboxes: Obviously, the main point of using this checklist is to mark which elements you've already collected/found to keep track of your progress for a certain achievement. In order to mark a checkbox, you simply need to click on it. This will automatically cross-out that element for visual aid, allowing you to tell at a glance which collectibles you are missing.
  
• Separate checklists for each major achievement: Each major achievement has its own sheet in this document, so you can track treasure chests and Spirits/portals/commands separately.
  
• Tracking: You can track your progress towards the completion of a certain achievement by looking at the top right corner. You will see "#/# completed". This will be automatically calculated when you mark the checkboxes within that page.
  
• Progress bar: In the second row of each sheet, you will notice there is a "blank" cell. This cell will show a progress bar that will advance the more checkboxes you mark as done.
  
• Filters: This is probably one of the most useful features to track the collectibles you are missing. You will notice that, next to the column categories, there is an icon with the lines forming a triangle. If you click on this icon, you will be able to sort the content of that page or to filter what content you see. For example, if you click on the filter icon right next to the "✓", you can filter the checkboxes based on if they are checked or not. If you only want to see the elements that you have crossed-out yet, change the filter on the checkbox column to only show the ones with the value "FALSE". This is not limited to checkboxes.

That's all for now. If you use this, let me know what you think. Hope it's useful for you!

Luckily I didn’t encounter the bug, but I did go for 100% on the first save file I made, so I suppose it’s more confirmation that the bug occurs only on save files following the first one.

To anyone aiming for all achievements in DDD, you should be aware there's a glitch with the Record Keeper achievement. I have yet to 100% DDD so I haven't had the chance to encounter this yet, but you should know this if you're planning on 100%ing this game.

The bug can prevent the achievement from unlocking and was never patched on PS4, and so it persists in the Xbox One and Steam versions of DDD. The best information I could find is that the bug may occur if you're NOT playing on the first save you ever created. (Source: https://www.speedrun.com/khddd/guides/5szkc )

Basically, make sure you're going for 100% on the FIRST save you ever created. Deleting all of your saves and making a new one will NOT count as your "first" save, it must be the first save you EVER created for DDD on your account.

I do have a theory that deleting your DDD save data AND the KH 2.8 system data in your "Documents/My Games" folder will solve the issue, but I can't find confirmation on this.

Good luck!
