## Main Attractions

London contains 4 points of interest in Disney's Final Frontier.

* Toy Shop - The main search point of the level. As a small character, it becomes a lot easier to get lost in everything around you.
* The Rat Trap - This is the tavern where the team goes incognito. Playing this before Beauty and the Beast unlocks a scene.
* Ratigan's Lair - The lair of Ratigan himself, and boy, that character can sure host quite a party. Just don't call him a rat, it triggers him.
* Big Ben - The boss battle location. You can come back here for Journal Entry #16.

## The Great Mouse Detective

### Episode

5 (Arc and Part)
16 (Overall)

Tod, Vixey, Angel, Tramp, and Bolt are the first to arrive, gazing at the now tall London buildings, when they suddenly bump into Basil and Dawson. Tod was quick to recognize the duo easily. Tramp asks if the two are on a case and they learn there was a kidnapping that occurred. Because Toby was sick, the team offered to take over and help them out. The kidnapper's hat was the only lead the two had. Bolt tried to get a closer look, but has a bit of a strain, while Tramp was unaffected and sniffs it. Olivia then catches up to Basil and Dawson as Marian and Joshua join the group. Tramp then catches the scent and begins to track it.

The scent leads to a toy shop. Marian and Joshua scale the building while Tod uses Wyvern to fly up to the window. Basil mentions a panel in the window. Tod ponders how the thief got inside before noticing a small hole. Dawson questions the logic of this, but Tod opens the pane where the hole was placed, opening the toy shop to the rest of the team. Once the rest of the group got up, they started to look around for evidence inside the shop itself. Some searching antics occurs, including Figment pushing a rook into a checkmate position. During their search, Bagheera and Shenzi joins up with Tramp on his search for clues.

While Dawson manages to find a list, Olivia is captured by Fidget, with Tod witnessing it. Tod and Bolt proceed to chase down Fidget as he throws random things. Fidget gains his cap again during the chase, and even taking Tod down. Bolt did his best to catch him as Tramp helped corner Fidget, only for him to start climbing up. Tod tried to freeze him, only to clip his wing slowing him down slightly. He then tried to go after him by flying, but it turns out Fidget was able to disable his Magic Band, keeping him at ground level. Bolt was caught in a collapsed structure of toys as everything fell to the ground. Tod checked to make sure everyone was alright. Everyone was okay, except for Bolt, who was severely injured during the chase and his Magic Band practically useless. Tod carried Bolt out to the others, pointing out Bolt's injury and what Fidget managed to do to Tod and Bolt's bands.

Dawson checks the only clue he has, with Tod and Basil taking a closer look. Basil mentions the list originated from the riverfront. Figment arrives to take care of Bolt, telling Tod to dismantle his Magic Band temporarily so he can fix his. The dragon left with the white dog and broken bands. The rest of the gang disguise themselves as sailors and head to The Rat Trap to get more information on Ratigan's whereabouts. They all act as different characters in front of the other guests and bartenders. Amongst all this (if this is played before Beauty and the Beast), Tod walks up to Vixey and asks her out on a date, to which Vixey says yes to. Vixey then proceeds to introduce Tod to some of Ratigan's minions who she managed to get acquainted with during their time gathering info and acting like sailors.

(Insert famous bar fight scene here.)

Fidget manages to get through the bar and into the back where the pipes are. Tod mentions this to Basil and the group follows the bat while the rest of the bar was distracted. The group exits the drains and finds Basil's lair nearby. Basil manages to connect the dots and points out Basil is planning something, but he isn't sure what it is. As Tod and Vixey approach, the gang gets captured by Ratigan's thugs, except for Vixey. One of them asks why not the girl, only for another to respond saying she's no threat to them. This made Vixey rather cross.

Ratigan arrives after the group is all tied up in different places. He proceeds to explain how he plans to kill Basil and Tod's friends, saying once the mousetrap is sprung, the team will be sapped of their own energy and be killed by their life force being drained. Vixey is then attacked by Ratigan's cat, Felicia. She tries to fight her, but is outclassed easily, only to be saved by an unknown individual. The cloaked dog used both Tod and Bolt's fixed Magic Bands to get the team out of the trap, along with their Magic Bands back into their rightful place. The dog tosses Tod his Magic Band back once he was freed, but wanting answers, he walks up to the dog and removes the dog's hood, revealing Chief. Tod is shocked into disbelief. Chief explains he's here to fill in for Bolt while he's still recovering from his injuries.

Basil and Dawson manage to escape their trap with Olivia, while Vixey nearly floods the alleyway chasing off Felicia temporarily, joining up with the rest of the team. Olivia tells the group Ratigan's ultimate plan, which shocks Tod, but Chief felt it was low, even for Ratigan. Tramp says they should split into two teams. Angel, Shenzi, Vixey, Joshua, and Chief are to go with Olivia to save the real queen from being cat food, while the rest of them try to stop Ratigan and save Olivia's father. Chief immediately objects, but Tod assures him that he's not the scared fox he was before the accident.

First, we see Angel's team rescuing the Queen. Angel manages to save the Queen only to be attacked by Felicia herself. Vixey, however, provides a distraction to Felicia as the thugs realize they all still have their Magic Bands now. Chief pulls out a gun on the thugs, who proceed to call him a traitor, only for Chief to smirk saying he's one of Angel's team members now. A fight breaks out, with Felicia knocked out and the thugs flying into the sky to a nice jail cell from Chief, Vixey, Shenzi, and Joshua's finishers going off at the same time. You then have the option to take Fidget's cap, as it is the final Item of Creativity you can acquire. The group starts heading for Buckingham Palace where the rest of the team is. Vixey, however, takes a shortcut back to Figonia to check on Bolt.

Next, we see the team going undercover to stop Ratigan as he goes on a spiel on every change he plans to make in England. As Basil rescues Flaversham, he takes the controls of the fake Queen. Basil triggers Ratigan severely from this act, causing Ratigan to grab Olivia and threaten to shoot her if anyone gets too close. Chief (wearing Fidget's cap if you took it) just arrived as this happened, shooting at Ratigan's gun and knocking it out of his hand. Ratigan calls him out for betraying him and attempts to escape without Olivia. Tod goes after him as he heads for Big Ben in his flying machine, however the sly fox manages to cut the balloon on the machine. Ratigan grabs Tod by his neck saying, "I'll take you with me to Hell!" Tod smirks as the machine crashes inside the clock.

Tod was still alive and well as Marian and the others catch up, but Ratigan was not done yet, still having some fight in him. The rat stabs himself with a Stop Materia and proceeds to attack the entire team. Tod was able to outclass Ratigan in every way with his Ascended Accel Abilities, while Tramp and Bagheera dealt some back and forth heavy hitters on the rat. Eventually, the clock strikes 10, causing the rat to lose his balance, falling inside the clock to his inevitable death below. Vixey arrives via portal, after letting the team know Bolt has finally made a full recovery.

The team regroups back at the palace to reunite everyone. The queen is relieved that Ratigan is no more, while Olivia and her father reunite. Basil offers Tramp a place with him, but Tramp politely declines saying he still has plenty of mysteries to solve back home. From here, the group parts ways, ending the Dark Awakening arc.

## Ratigan Boss Fight - Hard Mode

### Rewards

Journal Entry #16
3000 Munny

After beating The Great Mouse Detective, you can return later to try and get Journal Entry #16. 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 Ratigan's attacks now can deal Stun or even Stop status effects, making it easier for your characters to get hit by his other regular attacks.
