We’re mere days away from the release of Kingdom Hearts III, and players are already gearing up to find everything that the game has to offer.

Just like with most games in the series, the third installment features a secret ending movie that can be unlocked after reaching specific criteria. The ending is part of a day one patch for the game, so you’ll need to download the patch to have a chance to unlock it.

But what criteria do you need to meet? Well, Kingdom Hearts III’s director has shone the light on exactly what players need to search for.

How To Unlock Secret Ending

According to an interview with the game’s director Tetsuya Nomura in Famitsu (and reported by Kotaku), players will need to take a photograph of the in-game Mickey-shaped “lucky marks” hidden across multiple levels. Players can do this using the mobile device Sora carries around in-game—essentially to take Kingdom Hearts selfies.

“The number (of lucky marks) you need to photograph varies depending on the difficulty selected at the game’s start,” Nomura told Famitsu, “For Proud, quite a few [lucky marks] is okay, and even Standard isn’t that strict, I think.”

Nomura hasn’t given an exact number, though, which will keep players guessing. Just be sure to get out there and find as many as you can when the game is released on Jan. 29.
