Kingdom Hearts *new thread link in OP*

Wait, what do you have to do for him in normal? I only played the normal mode in the Jap release, and I don’t remember having that much of a problem with him. Proud mode, you have to kill 50 of the things in 40 seconds at the start, and then the same thing later on in the fight. Those things take one hit from the finisher, and like 3-4 from the normal combo strikes.

Stitch is really really really good in that fight. I don’t know how I would have beaten him otherwise-- Stitch does this random song playing thing that instant-kills any waterthings on the screen, and he also randomly juggles the boss. Since you can hit him the whole time, you can basically keep the summon going for the entire fight even if you never used him before.

He took me like 10-15 tries to beat. I lost twice because I was holding the last motherfucking water clone when time ran out.

Proud mode really isn’t so hard. The difficulty is a little higher than what you would expect, but the only parts where I had problems were Hades (bullshit fireballs do 1/3rd of a lifebar), that Water guy, and the first appearance of the fat heartless (since they do more than half a lifebar).

At this moment I’m at the “either beat the end boss or do what you want” phase of the game; I’m trying tp level up my Drive Forms and find one last piece of Orichalcum+, but to no avail; I can’t seem to find it anywhere.
At this point, is there a level where the drives max out? Is it dependant upon my level?
Can anyone tell me why Sora sometimes turns into shadow Sora when a Drive as activated? It’s really pissing me off.

Drives max out at level 7. Everytime you use the 3 main forms, you get one Anti-Form point, which increased your chances of getting the Anti-Form. However, using the Final form takes away 10 Anti-points, so just do Master a few times and you should be set for awhile I think.

A good place to level up your forms is Timeless River. Make sure you are at the max and go to Disney Castle. Then go into Timeless River and select one of the portals. Use your drive and fight, but make sure you leave and make it back to the castle before the drive guage runs out. This will cancel the guage and it will be at it’s max again. Save and repeat!

Thanks, Wolf; I assumed 7 was the max point because my Master won’t go any higher.
Im currently leveling Wisdom at the start of The World That Never Was; I’ve gone from level 1-6 in about 45 minutes.
By the way, did anybody else notice that each one takes a specific type of method to level up each Drive? I didn’t until recently…

The only reason I know this crap is because I’m a collector whore and bought the special edition strat guide. I hate strat guides…but fuck, it’s SPECIAL EDITION!
Good thing I took a peak at the drives section or I’d be screwed. Yeah I found out today too that each drive has a different way of leveling up.

So far 2/4 are maxed out; I still have two and a half levels left for Valor and about 5 1/2 for Final.
Not to mention my summons are only at 2.
I’m still unsure where to get this last piece of Orichalcum+; I have no clue where I would get it from unless I get it from Sephiroth. But by that time, getting the Ultima Weapon would only be useful for the final boss.

The final boss wasn’t too bad. Seffy is a cunt it seems. He beats my ass in under a minute each time I’ve tried. I’m working on leveling up my forms too so I can collect all of the treasure chests and hopefully finish all of the minigames. I want the secret ending dammit!

So there IS merit in beating all the mini-games?
Hmmm, I wasn’t going to do them, but now I will.
Did you get the Ultima Weapon yet, Wolf?
If so, how many pieces of O+ did you have?

Well you only have to do the journal if you’re playing on the medium setting. On proud mode, you just have to finish all of the worlds to get the ending.

Nay, I don’t have the U. weapon yet. I hear you “need” 14, but there is only 7 O+ in the game. So you gotta use that gem that cuts the sythensis in half. I still need to go find the recipe thang. I should go do that now, thanks for reminding me! :smiley:

Would you like me to tell you where it is, or would you rather find it yourself?
Yes, you only need 7 pieces of O+, a leveled up moogle, and a serenity stone to get U weapon; I have 1/3 final weapons, but I am still looking for some twilight pieces for Save The King.
I didn’t buy a guide/use gamefaqs because that takes the fun out of it, but I can understand wanting the MASSIVE special edition book.

Seph’s a punk-ass in this game…he got rocked by my lv. 84 Sora (as opposed to the original KH where he could still hand you your ass at lv. 99). And on top of it, the Fenrir sucks compared to my Ultima Weapon, Negative Combo and 1 in magic for a measly 1 extra point in attack? Fuck that. Now the Hades Parallax Cup, that my friends is some bullshit right there. Beat Cloud AND Squall after fighting through 9 other rounds on a 10-minute time limit, ALONE?! That ain’t cool.

And I almost forgot…it is my humble opinion that Sora and Riku would beast on any other Square character save Trance Kuja. Anyone who thinks otherwise hasn’t seen the final battle in the game.

END SPOILERS

And did you guys need help with the ultimate weapons? I’ve got all three…did you get the Orichalcum+ for obtaining every type of synthesis material? And for Twilight stuff, first go to Yen Sid’s tower in Twilight Town, there you can get the Shards and Stones. For Gems and Crystals, head to The World That Never Was. Those sorcerer monsters (the guys who make the block shaped to attack you) have the Crystals, and Assassins (guys who stick their blades out from underground) have Gems.

Oh, and be sure to use the upgrading Crystals on Donald and Goofy’s ultimates. It turns them into Save the King/Save the Queen+, which have better support abilities built into them.

I’m having a fucking jolly old time trying to beat Sephiroth at level 72; Im going to have to call it quits and level up some more in order to take his ass out.

Just made it to the second fight with Waterboy.

You guys were right, he’s so gay. I give up for now. I need to hit the B-E-D.

edit

Hey, has anyone done the Olympus challenges? I skipped out on em’ when I learned you get no exp for fighting the enemies which I thought was kinda lame. Is it worth it?

-Kimo

Donald dies fast. And I can’t stand games that are based around time being put in defeating skill. This is an SF site for fuck’s sake.

SPOILERS

Fuck Xaldin. Fuck his beam super. It’s almost as bad as AHVB. I can’t see a way to avoid/block it without High Jump Lv2. I had to die and get Mickey just to beat him.

Any suggestions/tips for the Hades Cup?

END SPOILERS

I didn’t have any trouble fighting Demyx; granted, the second time is harder than the first, but I thought it was reletively simple.

But this is a kh2 thread which doesnt have anything to do with sf.

I leveled up until approximately 81; I didn’t have much trouble beating Sephiroth after that.

I’m a little dissappointed in how Fenrir looks: like a car key. I was expecting a buster-swordesque kind of key-blade.

any optional bosses after sephiroth ?

Well, so far there is nothing apparent; I also haven’t looked back where you fight Sephiroth, but I’m not getting my hopes up for that.
The problem is, once you reach a certain point in the game, all the areas in Jimminies Journal that haven’t been discovered are now labelled with “???”.
That is, nothing new appeared after I beat Sephiroth.
If I find anything, however, I’ll make sure to post it.:tup:
