[@wanderinwaffle]

Hey Nick! I finished CoM last night and am now gearing up to finish up everything that needs to be done lol I return to you for your wisdom and guidance 🖖

[@nickmcsleighten]

@@wanderinwaffle appreciate you coming back, thank you 😁 good luck waffle 🫡 the riku level grind is no joke

[@xvc918x8]

Your videos are so useful getting back into kh now that its on steam

Don't you love this? Welcome to the series where it's a pain sometimes. 💁‍♀️

[@nickmcsleighten]

😂😂 it sure is, but I got to watch the rest of my podcast so, it wasn’t all awful

[@michelvanderlinden8363]

"sometimes".

[@SethJKD]

I’m just now playing through the Riku side of this game, so this video came up on my home page at great timing. Thanks for the video dude love the content

[@nickmcsleighten]

Glad this could help! Best of luck 😁

[@Duo_Strikes]

i found out about the lexeus strategy while playing as sora since i pretty much didn't want to go for any strategy of my own and found out quickly about the ridiculous airspin, what i didn't know is what rooms to do to get the most exp, this video does help a lot with this.

[@nickwerner7983]

I’ve been using rooms with more Heartless. That’ll increase my chances of leveling up. I haven’t completed the game yet. No escapes, no continue. I save every round trip of rooms because I have a Save Room ready to be safe. I’ve been leveling up in patterns of 10, 10, 5. I know it takes longer but it’ll be worth it in the end. Also, I love your tree puns and Angry Birds reference.

Hey if it works for you then I say do it 😎 and thanks, I think they’re ax-ceptional

Oh nice a video about the card one

[@nickmcsleighten]

Oh right, the card one, the card one with no other name, the one with the cards, that card one

[@xingor7940]

​@nickmcsleighten Oh, right. The cards. The cards for Riku and Sora, the cards chosen especially to aid Riku and Sora, Riku and Sora's Cards. Those Cards? Lol

[@nickmcsleighten]

@@xingor7940 Mickey: Yes, those cards!

[@joomaciiel]

back in the ps2 days i liked to level up lv99 all characters, now i dont believe i did that. level up sora and riku to 99 just for achievment ;-;

[@michelvanderlinden8363]

Defeating Vexen was a test of my patience for poorly designed mechanics. Defeating Ansem was testing my patience on poorly designed bossfights (and hitboxes). Powerleveling Riku to 99, the last "achievement" I have to do, is a test for my sanity. Its just so... goddamn.... tedious... its literally spamming triangle, getting dark mode, spamming more triangle (if you have a mickey card), or jump attack spam. Ive had some grinds on nes, snes, and playstation games. but dear god this just melts the brain

[@nickmcsleighten]

@@michelvanderlinden8363 honestly, i couldn’t agree more

Just need to finish the last two songs for ice cream bet The Island song is driving nuts I think I need a score in the 2000 to unlock the last song

oak-k, i believe you.... Just a pancake would be proud 😂😂😂

[@nickmcsleighten]

😂😂 well, call me a son of a birch, I’m glad

[@alexandremontesinos7876]

I saw a video that was very interesting where they counted the exp per hour for every keyblade, map card, and wether its better on castle oblivion or destiny island but i doubt all of that aplies to riku have never beaten the first 3 worls as sora 😂

[@nickmcsleighten]

I think I know that one, it was probably Derikuf’s Sora Level Guide, but unfortunately, it doesn’t really apply to Riku because Riku doesn’t have any good sleights for grinding 😅 unlike Sora who can just Mega Flare everything in his path

[@alexandremontesinos7876]

@@nickmcsleighten yeah

[@nostalgiatrip3231]

i personaly like the speedrun strat

[@nickmcsleighten]

Ah gotchya, that’s fair! I think they’re both viable depending on skill level

[@c29o221]

Had to look this up. Been using strategy 1 on my own and it's been almost 6 hours and I'm only lv74/555k exp and feel like I'm doing something wrong since I still have soo much xp to go. Will try strat 2 and hope it takes less than another 6 hours

[@nickmcsleighten]

These are very long grinds, so hopefully the second method will speed up your remaining few levels

[@polydipsiac]

[@Noheart-13x]

Level 56 for Castle Oblivion?? I'm at 30 and I'mma fight Ansem... welp

[@nickmcsleighten]

godspeed - level actually isn't too important in Re:CoM thankfully - as long as you can effectively use Dark Mode, you should be good

[@nickmcsleighten]

@@number1dstapp go back a few floors to level up, Dark Mode is super helpful at low levels and if you’ve already beaten Lexaeus you can use his card + jumping and attacking to possibly instant kill enemies

[@number1dstapp]

@@nickmcsleighten After watching your video i will be using Lexaeus card more often now to warp enemy's out.

[@number1dstapp]

Thanks to your help i was able to quickly grind up to lv. 42 and get into castle oblivion take a strait shot to Ansem and take him down, loved the ending and thank you once again, ill be starting 358/2 which i hear everyone loves.
