## The Meadow

### Level

2 (Difficulty)
4 (Overall)

### Inhabitants

Bambi
Thumper
Flower
Man

**Bambi** is the fourth level in *Disney's Final Frontier* and the last of the Golden Age levels in that game. This game takes story inspiration from the direct-to-DVD Midquel Bambi II. Where this level starts off containing Blotling spawns, it instead uses Unversed as a direct reference to *Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep* in the latter portion. Completing any other two Golden Age levels unlocks this one.

## World Order

The World Order for this level is High, though this only affects Marian. All characters have to navigate on all fours, so Marian's look matches that of Vixey's a bit, with her current outfit being replaced with a scarf that matches the main color of the outfit she has on.

## Main Attractions

This particular level doesn't necessarily use attractions to help the player around, instead having the player rely on their ears to find their enemies. However, 3 attractions can be found in The Meadow

* Flower's Den - This is where you'll find Tod when you try to group the team up. Flower will sleep there until Spring due to hibernation, so if you choose to reveal the sun, you'd have to wait 6 weeks in the real world for Flower to join you.
* The Groundhog's Hole - The groundhog will appear here. Depending on your interactions with the sky, it determines who will be on your team.
* Bambi's Den - This landmark is important as it is one of two ways to officially meet Artful Dodger.

### Episode

2 (Arc)
4 (Part and Overall)

The forest teemed with life, although it was shaken heavily by the recent death of the Prince's Mother, and the raging blaze had taken its toll on the creatures of the wilds. Stepping into the forest, Marian recognizes these sensations, smells, and the land around her instantly. For a moment... it felt like she had returned to Sherwood Forest. The wind greeted her and her fluffy companions as she follows her instincts, climbing up a tree to get a survey of the land... The damaged part of the forest, almost immediately came to view, as she drops back down.

Tramp suggests splitting up to cover more ground, only to find out because of Tod's late entry, he ended up getting separated from the group. Bagheera and Simba decide to go look for him, only to find him in Flower's Den recovering from a bad fall into the world. It is shown via flashback that Tod and Flower got to know each other before he had to go back into hibernation. During the team's walk, Tramp accidentally bumped into someone else who mistook him for a hunting dog and ran off. This was later revealed to be a slightly disturbed Thumper talking to his best friend, Bambi. After some more proper introductions, Bambi explained what had happened over the past few weeks, which freaks Tod out slightly as he felt in danger from the ongoing Game Season. Tramp reassured him that he has nothing to worry about, but Tod objects mentioning how Honest John was able to travel outside his own time, saying Amos Slade could do much of the same.

On the way to the groundhog, Bambi asked Tod about Amos Slade, and Tod gave a quick explanation of him, Chief, and his former best friend, Copper. This is one of a few times where a character mentions some of their backstory, which is important for later events in the game. Bambi's jaw hung low with this new info, never had he imagined a fox would be friends with a hunter's dog before. However, Bambi told Tod that "Things can only go downhill from here. Leave your past in the past."

* **"I'll Try, for you, Prince Bambi." -** *Bambi will remember this. This gives Tod +1 Friendship.*
* **"I don't know if I can." -** *Tramp will interject and tell Tod to give it a shot. This can lower Tod's friendship by 1 if he has had any previously.*

Upon reaching the Groundhog, the groundhog will slowly wake up. From here, you can either choose to be patient and let nature play her role, or you can be a jerk and screw with the sky via an Aero spell to break the cloud away. Not doing so will cause Spring to arrive immediately, as Bambi and Thumper celebrate. ("If he had coffee this morning, you two would be having 6 more weeks of snow." "Don't ruin the news for them." ~Tod and Bagheera) Otherwise, the Groundhog will be scared back into his hole yelling for 6 more weeks of darkness, much to Bambi and Thumper's dismay. Either way, a hound could be heard barking, scaring Bambi and Thumper. Tod, Bagheera, and Bolt decide to spring into action, only to find out it was just Artful Dodger, who introduced himself saying he was searching for Bambi to return him home. Surprisingly, Tramp and Dodger knew each other before in a previous adventure, leaving Tod in shock for a moment. Seeing that Bambi was already with them, Dodger tags along with the group to help lead them to the King. From here, Dodger officially joins the party. This is one of two ways to unlock him.

After taking Bambi home, Thumper hops away (to wake up Flower if Spring arrived). His father mentioned it's getting too dangerous for the Prince outside with all of the Blotlings appearing. "It strikes me a bit odd that wherever we end up, the Blotlings are not too far behind..." said Tod aloud in thought. The others unanimously agreed to his statement. Their new priority became to drive the Blotlings out of the meadow. Before they could do that, Tod was in for a bad wake-up call as gunfire could be heard. Tramp, however, reassured Tod that a bullet from a gun should be the least of his worries if he had already accomplished some great feats with the group, causing him to calm down. As they investigated, they hear the sound of a female deer screaming for her life. The gang decide to push Tod forward, as he found out a clue about what might've happened as some pools of ink formed from some bullets. This introduced the group to the Unversed enemies as well as an enemy known as the Flood. Tod manages to fend off the new enemies, increasing his courage by 1.

They discover the damsel in distress was Bambi's girlfiend, Faline, who recognizes Tod. It is implied that before Tod went to Figonia for the first time, he ended up in Bambi's time. Tod lead Faline back to her den, causing him to temporarily leave the party, which Marian said actually ended up working in their favor. The rest of the team split up to try and find whoever was attacking them. After fighting some more Unversed, they all regrouped, finding they weren't getting anywhere. Simba and Bagheera figure now would be a good time to take a better look from above, and Marian started searching with her eyes, Bolt with his ears. Marian managed to get a view of the entire meadow from above. Man is with a hunting dog, hiding away from everything else, using a hunting call to try and get the King's attention. On one end she can see Thumper (and Flower) warning the king his son has entered a trance like state as Marian sees Bambi walking by in one part of the field asking if the sound the Hunter's making is his mother. Talking to him would seem pretty useless because the trick only seems to be working on deer. Marian reported the new info to the team, much to Dodger's shock. Marian and Dodger decide to distract Man, which initially works too well as he aims his gun at them, only for Marian to fire an arrow back to temporarily disarm him. Bambi stopped in his tracks, thinking about how lucky he was to not get any further before being killed.

Man, however, loaded his gun and attempted to fire once more, only for Tod to arrive slashing the barrel of the gun clean. Man threw away his gun and decided to fight back with the Unversed by his side, while his hunting dog went after Bambi. To prove he wasn't afraid anymore, Tod decided to fight fire with fire and take down Man. After an intense boss battle, Man loses his ink and falls into his own pool of it. The team afterword rush to help Bambi next, but Bambi gathered his courage and kicked the hunting dog off a cliff side, splashing into an ink puddle itself. The group shared a laugh after yet another near death experience, as Dodger decided to permanently join the group on their many adventures. Tod promises Bambi that he'll be back as the group departs back to Figonia. Thumper (and Flower) follow Bambi back to his den, asking various questions about the events they witnessed.

## Man Boss Fight - Hard Mode

### Rewards

Journal Entry #4
Man's Gun
1200 Munny

After beating the Bambi level, you can return later to try and get Journal Entry #4. This is one of a few Hard Mode boss battles, which provides a harder variation of a boss you've previously fought in the adventure. As with all Hard Mode bosses, the difficulty is ★★★. In order to beat it, you'll have to change your strategy up so you don't take as many hits, as some of Man's attacks now can deal Poison Damage and damage you over time. Beating this boss will also unlock one of the best projectile weapons in the game.
