How To Find Selphie’s Life Preserver in Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded

Selphie’s Life Preserver is in a backdoor at Destiny Islands. If you came here, though, you likely already searched all over the place with no luck. That is likely because you have not upgraded your Scan ability yet, which is required to find the relevant backdoor.

How To Upgrade Your Scan Level in Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded

You start off the game with a basic level of the Scan ability. To upgrade it, you need to path to the relevant blocks in the Stat Matrix.

The issue with Selphie’s Life Preserver is that most people will discover the quest before they notice how to upgrade Scan. It is technically possible to upgrade it at the end of Alice in Wonderland before starting the Olympus Coliseum story. It is easy to miss, though. You can see the block you need to path to in the image above. It is at the bottom right of the Stat Matrix at the time it unlocks.

Other quests in Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded follow the same system. You usually first need to unlock the next level of Scan before you can complete the next quest in a world. It’s not always at a 1:1 ratio, however. For example, it is possible to find Alice’s teacup before upgrading your Scan at all.

The main thing to remember is that if you collected all rewards from a backdoor and you are not getting alerts for new ones, it’s no use to keep looking. You’ll need to wait for the next Scan Block to unlock, path to it, and then return to finish the quest.

Completing the Teacup Quest

The person you need to return the Teacup to is Alice. If you find it on your first run through the story, however, you can’t give it to her yet. This led me to fruitlessly look for the Mad Hatter or someone else who would take it off my hands.

So then, how to solve this quest? Well, not much further along in the story, you will get the option to revisit old worlds and complete sidequests there. When you return to Alice at that point, she will accept the Teacup and give you a new quest.

For the other sidequests you get access to at the same time, you’ll need to find hidden backdoors. To be able to do that, you’ll need to upgrade your Scan ability first.
