The Hunchback of Notre Dame

**The Hunchback of Notre Dame** is the nineteenth level in *Disney's Final Frontier*. The main portion of the level plays like an investigation, with the boss being a Group Battle where you can't afford any player to be knocked out. However, this level can only be unlocked by beating EVERY OTHER level in the game up to this point.

## Party Restrictions

The party for the most part stays as it normally would, but Marian and Angel are usually switched in and out during the investigation for plot related reasons. Dodger is also along for the ride as a swappable party member with Simba.

## Main Attractions

Notre Dame has 3 Main Attractions in Disney's Final Frontier.

* Notre Dame - The main cathedral in the level. This is considered a safe area until the last part of the story where you'll have to perform in a couple battles as your team. Beat the level to perform the 19th Challenge.
* Paris - The area you'll be roaming within the level. It's infested with difficult Blotlings and Unversed, so prepare yourself for the worst.
* Court of Miracles - This is the halfway point in the adventure. You'll find the sub-boss here during the adventure.

## The Hunchback of Notre Dame

### Episode

3 (Arc and Part)
19 (Overall)

With this being the last time in the game you visit France, the team makes quite a few comments about how many times the place changed over the years. Due to how gypsies are treated in this time period, the gang decide it would be a good idea not to talk to others while they search. Tramp also suggests splitting up, while Tod and Dodger say splitting up might not be a good option right now. However, Marian switches to her Human Form (as seen from Beauty and the Beast) to allow for easier communication, even if Tramp says it's cheating. Tod also accidentally casts a Grayscale spell on himself to make him look like an enchanted gargoyle. Thanks to this, Tod decides to fly up the cathedral, thanks to Marian's suggestion.

One of the priests welcomes Marian into the cathedral itself with her animal friends, while Angel uses this time to become a human herself to help Marian out a bit. Meanwhile, Simba was talking to Tod above the cathedral about his growing pains of being the new King of the Pridelands. Dodger is called out by Angel for not doing much of the same as everyone else is and in a short argument (with Angel winning), he is disguised as a Judge. Bagheera didn't exactly disguise himself although Bolt is just acting like a regular dog with the rest of the team just rolling with it anyways.

Tramp, Bagheera, Bolt, and Dodger decide to head up to the bell tower and in the process meet two other gargoyles at the top, Hugo and Laverne. Bolt started acting at this point since his cover was blown by the two gargoyles, speaking in fluent Latin in the process. After introducing each other and getting the lowdown on who Quasimodo is and why he lives up in isolation, the bells of Notre Dame sound off. After, Quasi met the rest of this group while Tod and Simba watched in the background. After the group figured out what's going on and why Quasi couldn't leave the cathedral, Tod and Simba met up with the rest understanding him as a friend. Although Tramp told Tod he really needs to stop being judgmental, the fox is rather annoyed that since the 18 previous adventures he never said anything about that. Quasimodo doesn't understand, so Tod, Bolt, and Dodger recap a couple important stories. Quasimodo then begins to explain his story to the group.

Down below, Marian and Angel hear an ongoing conversation between Phoebus and Esmerelda, which was hard to make out at first. The priest tells Marian and Angel they should go meet Quasimodo themselves after they had a talk with him. The Archdeacon of the church was now speaking to Esmerelda about having her get the help she needed. Angel introduced herself to her and Esmerelda becomes well acquainted with her and Marian. The three meet up with the rest of the team as Tramp decides it would be a good idea to get some air for a bit. Esmerelda mentioned the place is now locked up, while Tod also stated they could easily be sniped by arrows. As this discussion went down, Bolt then told the group Quasi and Esmerelda vanished.

Tod found out about Quasimodo's model of the city, which caused him to faint while Esmerelda is shown around the tower. The gang, after Tod woke back up, try to figure out their best course of action based on the characters they met, and find Quasimodo and Esmerelda escaping the tower, sending quite a few guards on the run. The rest of the team follow, Tod and Simba through the air and the others via a portal back to the ground. The guards mention Esmerelda and Frollo got away. Their fear of what the Judge will do to them alerts the group of possible Unversed nearby.

Tod found a Flood Unversed up ahead and chased after it. He is brought to the entrance of the Court of Miracles, where he is outnumbered, but fights them off anyways. Unfortunately, the defeated Unversed transform into a Gafing Blotling. Wyvern alerted the group on the best possible strategy but decide to go ham on it anyways like they always do. Simba dealt the final blow of the battle netting the team another win. With the entrance to the Court of Miracles found, the gang decide to head through it.

Angel mentions as they enter the court, she had actually turned 13 today, marking this adventure as her actual birthday. Tod asked Angel how she exactly ages, to which she shrugs saying she isn't exactly an immortal god, "yet." Although with their searching of the area, Tod smelled something burning and found out Claude Frollo was a step ahead of them and is about to burn Esmerelda during a riot. This gives the first choice to make in a while.

* **Wait and See -** The events of the movie play out as Quasi saves Esmerelda from Frollo and his riot.
* **Attempt to Stop Frollo Yourselves -** Although the guards felt this is wrong, they don't do anything about it, but the group decide to rush in and try to stop Frollo, only to be captured by the guards in the process. Quasi manages to free them after Frollo decided to burn everyone together at the same time.

Either way, Phoebus managed to turn the riot against Frollo and his men as the crowd frees the gypsies while Tod, Dodger, and Bolt stay behind to fight Frollo, being joined by Marian, who was still inside the cathedral at the time. Tramp and Angel then notice Notre Dame leaking suddenly. Tod's Accel foresight saw it as lava and warns Tramp, allowing him, Angel, Bagheera, and Simba time to jump away. The movie events continue here as the group found an unconscious Esmerelda which Quasi presumed dead. Frollo tried to backstab him, but Angel alerted the hunchback allowing him to take the dagger and turn the tide. Esmerelda started to wake up and Frollo attempted to kill her, only to be parried by Tod. A quick sword fight ensued (only one "fake" hit) and Frollo seeing himself outnumbered decided to take his own life instead of fighting against the team. Something ended up coming out of his body and realizing the sins he had committed, screams as he falls into the lava below.

Mist started to appear below as a dragon, which would later become Vixey's File, introduced herself as Misty, the hidden side of Frollo locked away for 20 years. The evil side of him still remained now that his body evaporated in the lava, forcing the group to fight Frollo's own sins in the shape of a darker dragon. The gang hop on Misty and take to the skies to face the enemy. Working together once more, with Marian tagging along, the team manage to beat the enemy before it tried to make one last attack but was blocked by Tod reflecting the damage back at it. The sinful dragon turns into ash and another Chaos Band, but this particular one is taken by the group feeling it could be useful later on. Tod also asked Misty to join him, since he knows the perfect partner for her, to which she says yes to.

Seeing everything was going back to normal, Simba left for the Pridelands once more to continue his duties as the place's rightful king. As the group departs back to Figonia, Marian stays behind for a bit feeling she wants to explore the place a bit more before she went. Tod mentioned another adventure awaits the team, but Tramp and Bagheera mention no more portals exist. Tod smiled at what they said, having a feeling that it's not truly over yet.

## Finding the Castle Deysin Entrance

This is the only level where you can find the entrance to Castle Deysin. This can be done after the Gafing Boss Battle or the Twin Dragon Battle at the end. This is done with Marian and Figment in the record room. Figment is disguised as a High Priest looking through various records looking for "something important." Figment gives Marian the record of judge Claude Frollo. The two look over it and soon discover something a few pages after, the entrance to Castle Deysin. Figment takes the info with him after he and Marian have a talk about the useful info and disappears, thus starting The Final Test.

## Forgive My Sins

### Rewards

Journal Entry #19
Archdeacon Staff
The Judge Rings
Judgement Sword
5000 Munny

After beating The Hunchback of Notre Dame, the ghost of Claude Frollo will still be roaming around the cathedral, unable to progress in the cycle of life as his many sins were not forgiven by God himself. Much like The Fox and the Hound, the team needs to perform a set of odd-jobs around the city to help forgive Claude Frollo which can be replayed in Challenge Mode. Due to these being some of the more difficult odd-jobs, the difficulty is ★★★ instead of the last challenge. There are six jobs to do, clearing four of them nets you Journal Entry #19, but clearing all of them gives you Frollo's sword and rings, and he finally ascends to Heaven with his sins forgiven.
