Just in case it isn’t mentioned in the comments here. So long as you have the fully leveled Areo spell, if you ever get hit by the ‘Submit’ move from the guardian cast it on your self and you are completely invulnerable to it. It also auto deflects the changing rush move Ansem pulls off. Basically, fully upgraded Areo trivializes 2nd Ansem.

Just here to give two pieces of advice I found during my own level 1 run that may help some people. First: During the Ursula fight, don’t actually spam magic at the cauldron. Apparently there’s a time frame that prevents magic from working on it in quick succession. So cast fire or blizzard once, dodge Ursula and the eels for a few seconds, then cast magic again. This makes it more consistent to blow up the cauldron and will save you a lot of MP. Second (the big one): Ansem-Riku gave me so much trouble, I started looking up strategies to beat him. Found a video by sonicshadowsilver2 that casts magic on him which makes him use dark firaga. You can actually deflect this at him for damage. Riku will retaliate and you can dodge then cast fire again to repeat the process. Knowing this I went through the entire fight repeating this cycle, using Ars Arcanum when I’m at about 3MP (does more hits than however much magic I could use), popping an elixir, then repeating. You can also trade out Ars for Sonic Blade to save MP for cure but Ars gets more hits in so pick your poison there. It takes forever, but you can get through the whole fight - even phase 2 - by repeating this. You’ll get sick of Riku saying “Foolish Boy,” but it can get you through quite a bit if you’re struggling, especially if you have as much magic as you can get by that point. Just keep in mind to not do anything while he’s blocking, you can get a few combos when he powers up to get a bit more magic use, and you still have to learn to dodge his attacks (but at least you have more space to dodge them with this).

Someone else may have mentioned this already but regarding Sephiroth: he retaliates after either seven hits /or/ four hits in a row; another option (that's probably only safe for first phase) is to do a single hit before every full air combo. This can be good because it can make the fight more predictable - you won't get countered after a single hit every three combos and you'll never be open for a retaliation if you punish the second phase transition since his retaliation counter will always be at zero. It can also be bad because his retaliation can be flame pillars, and if he does flame pillars in response to an aerial finisher you're probably not going to be able to dodge roll in time. Expect to use a lot of Cure if you go this route.

Hey I just beat Monstro on lvl 1 attempting this for the first time, what are the odds. I tried doing it without items (I did it for KH2FM and it was fine) but after losing to Tidus, Selphie and Wakka for literally an hour and a half I decided this was altogether a different beast and then beat up Riku for a full suite of potions. God that fight made me so (sea)salty. Also Riku will begin doing the back up roll kick thing after every hit once he gets low enough on health, something that killed me a couple times until I realised what was happening. Also hot tip I found out while doing research for my run is that you don't have to pick all or two of the bottom choices for your exp level curve. The first fight with shadows after it that usually levels you if you don't pick bottom choices can actually be lead to one side of the platform and you can run to the other side and briefly access you menu and equip exp zero. This has the lovely benefit of making Goofy (plus disney boys) level 1 as well, and noticing he was level 2 just before Clayton is what caused me to look up if there was a way to have that not be. Turns out there was and that was it, so I ended up restarting my run lol. Also for Cave of Wonders, if you tolerate the scene skipping you get to start the fight a bit closer to big boy and if you fast roll quickly, jump quickly, hit the back of his left eye and quickly move to his nose, if that works he won't immediately shake over and over and instead stay still for bit leading to slightly easier combos to start with. I don't know why that works but it do. Good video, and great timing for me personally lol

I saw a strategy a guy used for Clayton. He did everything you did until Clayton got knocked off Stealth Sneak. Once he gets knocked off, he goes back to where you spawn from the cutscene and goes on top of the higher cliff. He waits there and lets Tarzan and Goofy fight Stealth Sneak. Clayton will jump in the air until he gets on the cliff with you. He then stun spams him while staying on the cliff with 2 hit combos. If Stealth Sneak also gets on the cliff, he gets off and does everything again. That's how I won too, it just takes a little more time but you're in safety as long as you don't let Clayton recover.

A small thing I recently learned about equipping EXP Zero for level 1 runs is that you can actually keep Goofy at level 1. When fighting shadows in the Dive to the Heart, don't actually fight them; run across to the opposite end of the platform. Keep rapidly pressing the pause button until you can open the menu, equip EXP Zero, and then finish the shadows fight. (There's really no point to doing this over the normal way since one level up for Goofy isn't going to matter in the grand scheme of things but I think it's neat.)

This is a really well-made video! There's a few errors, but who cares, it's an awesome video. Here are some quick notes: Dumbo does not deal damage to Riku 1. Dumbo's damage is blizzard-based, which Riku is immune to. Spamming Triangle on Genie reduced the amount of orbs he throws. Not incorrect, just a little wasteful. As someone else mentioned, Stop's upgrades increase range, not duration. MP and Damage Storage does increase duration however! Aerora/ga does massive damage with Damage Storage active, so keep that in mind when you play :) Hades Time Trial is impossible without stat increases, which kind of nullifies the point of Level 1 anyway, so yeah.

Fun fact: Most people who've either played Union X or been curious and looked more into it already know this, but the machine in the Hollow Bastion World Terminus is called the ARK. The ARK is a random thing that served absolutely no purpose except a cool little enigma in the cannon of the series and also something that no one remembers until they go back and replay KHI for some inexplicable reason. However, when Kingdom Hearts X was rebooted as Unchained X and eventually Union X, this machine made a return. It is seen in the clock tower of Daybreak Town, presumably in a basement somewhere. The being known as Darkness leads Maleficent there, where it explains that the ARK can be used to do one of two things: A. Transport oneself from the digital to the real world, and vice-versa, OR B. Travel through time. Darkness also elaborates at Maleficent's request, starting that the reason it can't do both at the same time is because it was never finished. At some point Lauriam stumbles in, and though he is a prodigy with the Keyblade, apparently Sora is even better than Lauriam, considering they are the same age at this point (14 years old), because while Sora can kill Maleficent, Lauriam gets his just desserts for breaking the hearts of twenty too many fangirls by not existing in the real world and winds up unconscious on the floor. At this point, we haven't seen it again so far, though I expect it will be making a return (coughbotchedARKattemptbyNewForetellerscough). That sums up everything we know about the ARK. (Oh also Kairi's been in it. No idea why. Thank you, Melody of Memory, for giving us that completely random cameo of this thing.)

Thought I'd come back and do comment on this video now that I went through and beat the challenge with 114 deaths. Honestly had a lot of fun, and will probably try 2FM's level 1 run in the future. Some random points, if anyone reads this. 1. I found out you can get more than one Elixir per haul from Rabbit's garden. The most I got was 2 of them two different times out of a possible 50 or so entire garden pulls. I wager it might even be possible to get 3 or 4 with enough luck. 2. Aeroga significantly helps certain sections of the Ansem fight at the end. Damage storage Aeroga is nothing to sneeze at, and with some good dodging during Ansem II, it melts his health being constantly next to him. The lasers for Artillery are also less of a headache with it. 3. I summoned Tinkerbell during the Invisible wave in Linked Worlds for extra security, generally she helped get me to the next phase, and I always unsummon when there was one invisible left to prep for Simba. Tinkerbell in general works really well as a passive summon for certain fights where other summons aren't as useful. Also Bambi ended up useful during segments like that too, especially some fights where I needed more spell casts like Lock Shock and Barrel, I'm pretty sure damage storage also ensures he drops more of the larger MP balls. 4. Luring Clayton up onto the large cliff and then doing two hit combos to keep him up there significantly helps, even if it'll take 50 hits or so for this to work. There's also a small chance Stealth Sneak gets up there with both of you, but he generally fails the jump.

The descend heartless angel and Sin Harvest conundrum was mainly for the the Prima strategy guide for this game. In the guide for Sephiroth the writer mistakeningly thought he was saying Sin Harvest when it is in fact Descend Heartless Angel. Most of us old school KH1 masters prefer to say Sin Harvest 😊

I really would try this challenge if No XP gave you Scan. It is a weird thing to whine about but not knowing if my strategy is or isn't working well and not being able to confidently lab out different methods of doing fights kills so much of the joy for me. Still, I'm amazed at your tenacity and in love with this guide! Super fun to watch as a sort of pseudo-playthrough, weirdly enough. If I ever do try it, this is the video I'll be referencing most!

I'm hoping KH4 will feature Kairi as the playable protagonist with Donald and Goofy serving as her partners just as they did with Sora. It's about time she graduated from damsel While Riku searches for Sora, Yen Sid instructs Kairi to visit different worlds and identify the new 7 hearts after Maleficent and Pete steal a Gummiphone and gives it to Pete's old friend Emil Eagle to see if the data inside will be any good to them. At the same time they also try to find info on the masked people (the lost Masters of course) they saw Xigbar with before they take the Black Box from him. In case Mleficent decides to go after the other princesses, Yen Sid orders Terra, Ventus, Aqua, Roxas, Xion, and Axel to guard Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, Alice, Belle, and Jasmine respectively. Since it will be her first time traveling through the worlds, Donald, Goofy, and Jiminy decide to go with her to watch her back. As for Mickey, he's tasked with following aleficent and Pete. This mission will serve as Kairi’s Mark of Mastery. Before she starts her journey, each character bestows Kairi a magic ability: Fire (Axel), Blizzard (Isa), Thunder (Roxas), Magnet (Xion), Earth or Gravity (Terra), Water (Aqua), Aero (Ventus), Cure (Namine), and Stop (Mickey). The worlds Kairi visits will be based on these movies and in the following order: Brave Frozen 2 Cinderella 3 The Little Mermaid 2 Pocahontas The Princess & The Frog Mulan 2 Moana Aladdin & The King Of Thieves Winnie The Pooh (2011) The worlds for Tangled the series and Snow White would also be visited but only in cutscenes. Radiant Garden and the Bug Blocks will return. Pocahontas, Tiana, Anna, Rapunzel, and Moana will be confirmed to be 5 of the new hearts. There will also be 6 summons: Olaf, Fairy Godmother, Maui, Genie, Mushu, and the 7 Dwarfs. During all this time, there will be cutscenes of Sora and Riku's time in Quadratum and after clearing all the Disney worlds, Kairi, Donald, and Goofy find their way there and join up with them for the final battles. Towards the end, everyone learns a startling truth. When the X-Blade was broken into 7 lights and 13 darknesses, not only did the 7 lights become the hearts for the 7 Princesses, but the 13 darknesses became the hearts for 13 of the most black hearted villains, the 13 Lords of Darkness. And all of them must be reunited to recreate the X-Blade. I also came up with 2 side games: First there is "KH: Mickey's Quest". This game takes place during the first. It will focus on what Mickey was doing while Goofy and Donald were traveling with Sora. The worlds Mickey visits are based on Gummi Bears, Leroy & Stitch, Bambi 2, Song of the South, The Wind In The Willows, Bedknobs & Broomsticks, Darkwing Duck, and The Great Mouse Detective. The second is "KH: Bonds of Time" which will follow Roxas and Xion going on a special mission together. This will take place either before or after KH4. Yen Sid has the two of them go back in time to the days of the lost masters to learn more about them and their successors, 2 of whom they recognize as Ventus and Marluxia. Before they arrive in Daybreak Town, they travel to different times in various worlds. The worlds they visit are based on: Beauty & The Beast, The Sword In The Stone, The Hunchback Of Notre Dame 2 , Tarzan 2, Alice In Wonderland, The Lion King, The Little Mermaid 3, 101 Dalmations, and Ducktales The Movie: Treasure Of The Lost Lamp. I chose these movies so we can see their worlds done right with the new graphics and all and we can interact with the young version of Tarzan and Simba. We will also get to fight Gaston, Madam Mim, Cruella, and Merlock. Jiminy procures the aid of Bernard and Miss Bianca from "The Rescuers" to join Roxas and Xion to watch their backs and chronicle their journey on his behalf using the Gummi Phones. The gameplay for this game will be similar to Birth By Sleep only you don't have to create 3 games for 3 separate characters. Instead the player will be able to switch between Roxas and Xion during the journey and battles. Plus if one gets knocked out, the player will automatically be able to switch to the other and heal them when they can. Although both characters can be used, some abilities and techniques will be exclusive to each of them as they level up. However, if KH4 is going to once again have Sora as the playing character. I hope at least 9 to 10 of these movies will be featured as new worlds. 1. THE SWORD IN THE STONE 2. THE JUNGLE BOOK / 2 3. ROBIN HOOD 4. THE BLACK CAULDRON 5. THE GREAT MOUSE DETECTIVE 6. DUCKTALES THE MOVIE TREASURE OF THE LOST LAMP 7. POCAHONTAS 8. A BUG’S LIFE 9. DINOSAUR 10. THE EMPEROR’S NEW GROOVE 11. ATLANTIS THE LOST EMPIRE 12. TREASURE PLANET 13. THE INCREDIBLES 14. CARS 15. CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: THE LION, THE WITCH, & THE WARDROBE 16. THE PRINCESS & THE FROG 17. BRAVE 18. ZOOTOPIA 19. MOANA 20. GUMMI BEARS So what does anyone else think? If anyone from Disney or Square-Enix is reading this, PLEASE ask Mr. Nomura to start making them.

it's probably been said but for the destiny islands 3v1, if you try to hit wakka's ball back at him but switch targets before sora actually hits it, the ball will magically travel to whoever you locked on to. i know tidus can be stunned by this but selphie doesnt. either way this makes it temporarily a 2v1 which helps a lot. this target switching thing works on a lot of things actually, you can use yuffie's shuriken to stun squall for a bit, the eye lasers from shadow sneak to hit clayton, and the fat agrabah guys' fireballs into whatever other enemies are around

Maleficent: > Equip Stop. You can use it at the start to guarantee damage storage, and use it inbetween Genie and Dumbo to guarantee that they come out okay. Thicc Ursula: >Use stop and Aerora. That's it. Pure Cheese.

So, I know this is 2 years old and such, but I have an opening strat for the Selphie, Tidus, Wakka fight. I’ve been able to replicate this & you do mention it, but abusing Wakka’s Blitzball tech to stun can be used right from the start. Run passed Tidus a little, turn around and immediately jump swing to tech the ball directly at Tidus. He’ll be down and you can focus on the other two quickly. As you’ve said, wait for Wakka’s audio cue before jump-swinging. Hope this helps.

I remember watching Gamechamp3000’s video on the KH1 level one run, and finding it interesting how most of her tips more or less applied whether you were doing the run or not. Especially picking the staff over the other weapons in Dive to the Heart. Seriously, the moment you realize how magic scaling works in KH1, you realize that the staff is just objectively the best option.
@mcwyman7928 Жыл бұрын
For conventional runs, picking the shield is usually a decent option because even though you have less mp, you get some of the best abilities earlier, like slapshot, guard, and leaf bracer. For a run like this though, the staff is unquestionably the best choice.
@Junkyardproduxtions3 жыл бұрын
Unless Gamechamp and others have lied to me you can also activate a damage glitch by doing Sora's three hit combo which will store it and add(or multiply) the damage output of your spells meaning you reduce the chances of you getting hurt and maximize damage output since you're still severely handicapped physical attack-wise.

I'm in the middle of my first level 1 run right now. I found Giant Ursula was actually easier to fight a different way. I got damage storage up, and then just cast Aerora. Proceeded to simply swim around her head dealing Aerora contact damage. Never even swung the keyblade again. Every swing just made lightning harder to dodge. It was extremely easy to avoid her lightning spam, and the only attack that can really hit you is her AOE lightning, which does less damage due to Aerora. Fight felt faster than my failed Fira attempts, and was far far easier. Hope this helps someone out there. Oh, and the party was set to not cast spells and spam Ether on me. But I don't even think it was needed, Aerora did serious damage since you're just always hitting her fat head unless she's trying to bite you. In your guide you did Atlantica before the Hercules cup, but I did the opposite and went to Hercules first purely for Aerora. Didn't even do the other two cups til after I got Thundera from Atlantica, Aerora also crushes Darkside returns during final fight. 2 Aerora and spam melee is all it takes. less than a 50 seconds. Still plenty of mana for Ansem. But I'm currently stuck on the fight during ansem where you rescue Donald. The invisibles 1 hit Donald and charge me the moment it starts before I can even cast or move. 9/10 starts I'm hurt and donalds dead with 6 invisibles on top of me that attack before I can cast anything. Forcing me to get trapped in a loop of running with no counter.

I love watching your videos even though I’ve already done plenty of level 1 runs! With Genie, instead of spamming showtime, you should wait a few seconds after his last attack until all his lock on targets appear for max damage! Spamming it before he locks on reduces the amount of times he attacks but still drains your gauge.😅 You should definitely do a KH2 level 1 guide though too! Just because I’ve done it doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy the breakdown 😄 Also, it helps to jump up on the cliff after you knock Clayton off and then he’ll jump up and you can avoid the stealth sneak entirely while you 2 hit combo him into oblivion!

Also worth noting that you should change Sora from the mage build to a strength build for Sephiroth. Meaning Ultima weapon, any items that increase strength, and just don’t focus too much on magic. Sephiroth is immune to it, so put those points into the stat you’ll actually be using. It won’t be much of a benefit, but any benefit is better than none.
@reddodeado3012 жыл бұрын
Sephiroth has 46 defense. Unless you can somehow get your strength stat above that, any boosts to your strength won't do anything. An extra cure or limit is more useful than strength.

I did linked worlds a bit different. For the first dark ball wave I used mushu to pelt all but one of them down. With one alive, I dismissed mushu and brought out Bambi & finished the last dark ball. This made it so that when the invisibles spawned, they would go after me exclusively which made getting all 6 of them stopped easy. With bambi still prancing about dropping MP like crazy I could spam stop/gravity like mad. The rest was pretty much the same.
