Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix [HD 2.5 ReMIX] - Marluxia: Absent Silhouette [English - Proud]

Marluxia The Graceful Assassin.

[@xickin]

What did Marluxia whisper into Sora's ear? Marluxia: Kingdom Hearts III won't be out for another 2-3 years! Sora: NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@tyomega9939]

That would fucking curse anybody who hears that from Marluxia.

@@theelementalphoenix5549 Saix comes fourth, maybe. Xemnas is Xehanort who doesn't need an explanation. He is simply the strongest even without the power of Kingdom Hearts Xigbar is Luxu, who may in the same level of power as Xehanort is. But he doesn't have this Keyblade as has lost to several characters whose death wouldn't affect the Book of Prophecies such as Aqua or Roxas. As such he is second because of circumstance. Now, Marluxia's boss battle at the end of CoM (especially Re:CoM) imply that he is really powerful. A lot. He also used to be a former Keyblade wielder; which seems to be a direct applicant in the strength of Nobodies. At that he comes third That's my idea, at least

[@KBlade1]

I just realized Kingdom Hearts 2 used an Ultra Wide Camera Angle. It's the perfect camera for this type of game and part of what made gameplay so buttery smooth.

[@avpthegreat]

You can actually interrupt the move he does with the three big circles on the floor. As soon as he disappears wait at the center of the arena (might require practice to getting used to) also make sure to keep some distance between you and the center. When he is starting to appear, run forward and hit attack to initiate the dash attack, as this is the only move that is fast enough to interrupt him (regular attack is too slow). If you are too close to him, you will initiate a regular attack instead and it will phase through him. If I have to guess, it’s about a 300 ms window, so once you nail the timing, you can stop him from ever using that move until he gets into his final phase.

[@NotAverageAfro]

The middle part actually looks like the hardest part... Thanks for this video. Was good to see what to do if I messed up and got hit. Nice job using the delay in form change to your advantage as well.

Tyler Green Me too. Saïx, Marluxia and Axel are my favorites.

[@xxMiraclesMay]

Marluxia is just flat out my favorite KH character in general. There's so much more to him than a lot of people like to think. Others who dislike him or don't know him would think he was flamboyant, gay and a pushover because of his love for flowers and pink. The fact he's cool and collected, knows what he wants, gets what he wants without trouble, how he's associated with the Grim Reaper by Japanese standards. His scythe, the blossoms in the wind and the color pink for examples. Not to mention that his power over flowers and plants could honestly be one of the more deadly abilities any of them could have. Would you want to fight someone who could easily poison the air with flower toxins or control throny vines? I wouldn't. Assuming he'd be able to do so. You can extinguish fire, vaporize water, melt ice, etc... But what will you do if the air's been contaminated by toxins from a plant? You can kill it, but the air cannot be purified so easily. Plus, the man's gorgeous. Lmao Ahh, I rant.

[@TheAntiVerse]

I'm glad it helped. Love you too. uwu

[@goldsilvertornado]

For everyone having trouble with this guy i have one piece of advice after he makes the pools there is one of two things he'll do. If he doesn't jump then from the time he makes the pools you have 5 seconds before he comes at you with both explosion trap and a wheel attack at the same time. A guard at exactly 5 seconds after the pools are made will ensure your safety and a chance to attack. Also with experimentation i have learned the pools are made of DARK magic so if your wearing some Dark magic resistance they won't outright kill you at least at my level of 54. It took me two hits of falling into them i had around 20%hp after a hit. I used Quick Run and Guardian Soul key blade and finally beat him. Also on his third stage use quick run right as everything goes dark and he appears on top of you. angle it kind of in a square and the dark magic won't even touch you. Good luck!

[@Riddimsofcreation]

This is the hardest boss for me in the whole series in critical mode

[@iiHayaseeee]

Tell me why 1:47 - 2:00 is the best sync with the music for some reason

[@tragictrain404]

The hardest attack to block for me was the one where instead of burrowing "underground" during phase 2 towards Sora, Marluxia simply hops over and starts meleeing him. It always caught me off-guard and I was rarely able to guard it. Oh well, Marluxia's good and dead now...until I fight the data version :D

[@99RedRedfake]

+AlwaysTheButler Someone please tell me what the hell I'm supposed to do against this XD

[@tragictrain404]

+99RedRedfake Haha yeah. In another video (by ZSlyer) that player responded to this situation by quick-running across the deadly pools to another side of the arena and evaded the attack that way. Another time when Marluxia unexpectedly did the twirly-windy scythe maneuver that gives you the RC (such technical terms, I know :P) he jumped + aerial dodged to evade that one. So I guess just watch Marluxia closely, and if he doesn't transform into petals, be ready to quick run?? It all happens so fast too.

[@2N3mo001]

The absent silhouettes were pretty easy at mid 40's on crit... guard + growth abilities...My problem with the data battles is the sephiroth level hp and lack of decent damage done to them... anyone got any ideas or should i just make power boosts? Keyblade is ultima weapon

[@BIGSWOLEXL]

use fenrir instead of ultima way stronger and get to least level 60+

[@Kurasai56]

Well what you have to realize is power boosts don't do much 1 at a time and fenrir is a 1 str boost over ultima weapon while lowering your magic by i think 3, in reality you best bet would be yes farm for those items to make def, and str boosts but at the same time lvl is the most important factor for you if skill isn't your primary play style, the data fights are ridiculous on crit mode and rightfully so, work on level and learning the attack patterns of the enemies, block timing on the enemies is crucial, and for enemies like the Lightning bitch, reflect might be your best friend

[@BIGSWOLEXL]

Chris Milton if you aren't using magic at all its pointless to equip ultima for certain situations. Rumble rose and fenrir would be better because of extra combo boost and the shit ton of damage dishes out after the combo. Just like jow photon is good for if u like spamming thundgara for certain reason like for one of heartless forgot what number I think 6? Oblivion is also good and is in the top 5 keyblades that should be used throughout the game.

[@BIGSWOLEXL]

Chris Milton also he's using kingdom key because of its critical damage halve passive it gives. Like I said most keyblades are viable for different situations.
