Piece of a Puzzle || Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix Part 44

[@natoriousthehopeful2786]

I love how the thumb nail art is a complete depiction of Erika's boundless energy, and Sarah's desperate attempts to keep up with her😅

[@Onlera]

They asked if we’re enjoying the longer episode. And I would say YES. I was SO psyched when I saw how long the ep was, and loved the whole thing ^^ having more time with KH and these 2 is exactly what I wanted, especially after the holiday break in vids

[@megaknuckles2120]

You did a great job on collecting these chests and puzzle pieces i did the same thing when i played kingdom hearts on all consoles and for the organization mushrooms i remember you need to do these things under a minute and if you complete them you get a crown and a super secret ending which sarah might be confused who are they. I love these long videos i feel entertained I can't wait to see the legend of zelda playthrough.

To get all of the puzzle pieces you have to level grind your drive forms

[@lordxamwethoudeis]

Listen up, ladies! I got a big comment for ya, so pay attention. First off, you know how when you kill things, you get Experience Points that allow you to level up? Well, throw that out the window, because that's not how the Drive Forms work! If you wanna open up all the different movement abilities like High Jump and Glide, then you need to know that each separate Drive requires different means to upgrade it. Valor (Gives you High Jump) - This form's all about thrashing everything up close and personal, which is a good thing because every hit you land in Valor Form nets you 1 Valor EXP. So pull out your weakest Keyblades and start swinging away! And yes, I said WEAKEST Keyblades - this'll maximize the amount of hits you can dish out without actually killing your target. Wisdom (gives you Quick Run) - Just drop by Timeless River and kill everything! Wisdom Form grows stronger by ripping and tearing through Heartless, so if you kill a group of ten Heartless in Wisdom Form, boom - that's ten Wisdom EXP. Also, the Shoot function that replaces your Attack command? That's meant to be a last-resort way to fight, because Wisdom's all about the magic, baby! Unlike base form, where using magic makes you stand still when you cast, using magic in Wisdom has you zipping and sliding all over the place. So load up on Ethers and cast away! Master (gives you Aerial Dodge (or more accurately Double Jump)) - Your go-to destinations for power-leveling Master Form are Land of Dragons and Beast's Castle. The vast majority of the Heartless you find here drop Drive recovery bubbles, which you need to grab as many of as you can, because that's how this form levels up. The small bubbles get you one Master EXP, while the big boys give you three. So strap on WIshing Lamp and Sweet Memories, put on as many Draw and Jackpot abilties as you can and slice 'em up! Limit (gives you Dodge Roll) - You know how this nostalgic throwback to KH1 replaces your magic with the special Limit attacks? Well, that's the trick to leveling: every Limit you finish successfully nets you a point towards growth! The easiest way to gain Limit EXP? Sonic Blade - its costs the least MP to use, and it's the Limit that's least likely to be interrupted by enemy attacks. Final (gives you Glide) - This almighty power boost is hands-down the best Drive Form in the game, which also makes it the hardest to level up - you need to rack up Nobody kills to gain Final EXP. Mysterious Tower and TWTNW are the places to go for this grind. (I prefer Mysterious Tower due to the Nobodies being slightly weaker.) Summons - These don't give you anything for leveling them up, but I figured I might as well bring them up. Every bar of the Drive Gauge that depletes while a Summon is out will net you one Summon EXP. But the thing is, you can recover the Summon gauge by hitting enemies, and the game doesn't take into account how full the bar started of as when it clocks EXP. So, if you smack a guy just after a bar empties, then the next bar will refill and simultaneously empty, leading you to hit the enemy again and refill the bar again, and this will help you gain loads of Summon EXP very quickly. (I may not have explained this cheat leveling very well, but meh.) Second, the Mushroom XIII - these bad boys are crucial to farming Tranquility Materials, which you'll need if you want that Moogle Orichalcum+. Each one has a set score to clear to gain materials from them, which will be detailed below: 1 - Memory's Skyscraper after killing Xemnas - Time using the Reversal command to confuse it so you can smack it. Timing is crucial to maximizing your hit count. I use Wisdom Form, Fenrir (from Sephiroth) and Negative Combo. (TARGET SCORE: 70 BEST SCORE: 99 MINIMUM SCORE: 40) 2 - Christmas Town, where you fought the Experiment - Deflect or dodge all of the projectiles it flings at you. I find Reflect to be my best bet, refuelled with Stitch or Ethers. (TARGET SCORE: 80 BEST SCORE: 99 MINIMUM SCORE: 60) 3 - On the bridge in Beast's Castle - The aim here is to pick up as many of the prizes it drops as you can. Slap on every Draw Ring/ability you've got to make it easier to snag those prizes. Glide and Quick Run will help you keep pace as it flies around. (TARGET SCORE: 450 BEST SCORE: 500 MINIMUM SCORE: 250) 4 - Outside the palace in the Land of Dragons - Kill as many copies as you can without getting hit. The aim is to play keepaway by using Wisdom-powered Thundaga combos, and then when the magic runs dry, rely on Berserk Charge long-distance Shooting. (TARGET SCORE: 85 BEST SCORE: 100 MINIMUM SCORE: 50) 5 - In the Cave of Wonders' treasure room - Straightforward game: punch until D-E-D-dead. Swap out your Combo Pluses for Negative Combo, pile on any FInishing Pluses you have, and go at it with Limit Form! Zantetsuken will cut him to ribbons! (TARGET SCORE: 10 seconds BEST SCORE: 3 seconds) 6 - Just outside the Lock in the Underworld - Kill all clones ASAP. Final Form's your best bet to taking them out quickly and efficently. The pattern's the same every time so learn it. (TARGET SCORE: 45 seconds BEST SCORE: 31 seconds) 7 - In the tunnels in Twilight Town - Just kill it without touching it. Final Form Reflect is your best bet, but Donald's Limits or Wisdom Thundaga will do in a pinch. (TARGET SCORE: 10 seconds BEST SCORE: 3 seconds MINIMUM SCORE: 1 minute) 8 - Outside the Mysterious Tower - THE HATED ONE. I HATE IT, YOU WILL HATE IT, EVERYBODY - HATES - THIS - ACCURSED - THING. Use Berserk Charged-Master Form or Wisdom Shoot-and-Thunder combo and pray. (TARGET SCORE: 85 BEST SCORE: 99 MINIMUM SCORE: 50) 9 - Radiant Garden's Castle Gate, where you fought Demyx - Don't let it stop spinning. Berserk Charge and Horizontal Slash are your friends. Use up your magic, smack it once, and then mash square to win. (TARGET SCORE: 75 BEST SCORE: 99 MINIMUM SCORE: 50) 10 - Isla de Muerta in Port Royal - Find the real deal and kill it ASAP. Final Form GO. (TARGET SCORE: 55 seconds BEST SCORE: 36 seconds) 11 - By the river in Timeless River - This one has a number. Use Wisdom Form to drop that number to zero. Easy as pie. (TARGET SCORE: 19 seconds BEST SCORE: 15 seconds MINIMUM SCORE: 30 seconds) 12 - Outside the mansion in Twilight Town - Get as many clones as you can within the time limit. Wisdom Form is best form. (TARGET SCORE: 40 BEST SCORE: 50 MINIMUM SCORE: 20) 13 - In the canyon where 1000-Heartless battle happened) - Meet the target score for all of the other Mushrooms. Third and most important is a very simple thing I want you to lean in so you can hear it it's super simple thing, here, come close I'm gonna say the thing are you ready okay here it is: YOU DON'T NEED TO BE IN DRIVE FORMS TO USE THE MOVEMENT ABILITIES! If you've leveled them up far enough, you'll be able to do ALL of them in base form (if not quite as good as the Forms do). Remember this: it will save you MUCH time and resourced in the long run. Okay, I think that's everything I wanted to say. If you actually read this, Erika, then you get all of the virtual cookies. Over and out.

[@toondisney1109]

Erika, you did it! You've got the Final Form! 😁👍🏻

[@positive-stress]

stuff like this is why I don't get why people complained about KH3 replacing drive forms. it still has them, it just replaced all the obtuse stuff that nobody (myself included) ever understood about them like the different methods of leveling them up and the fact that they gated the movement abilities behind them. I didn't even know that glide was in KH2 until recently. I didn't even know final form existed! I'll take keyblade transformations over drive forms any day of the week thanks

[@SoulHeartEsquivel]

You know this came out on my birthday so i got some I do for you!!! The mushroom heartless are endgame things to farm high level stuff a bit easier. It however requires you to meet a certain threshold for each of them that is unique. Usually within a time limit or a upper limit of score. You were reaching the time or score necessary for them to give you anything sadly. 2nd this is for the new Cavern of remembrance and just in of for terrain abilities. As you level up drive forms it will give you the previous level of their drive specific skill till you reach max level. It's Kingdom Hearts 2 version of giving you more rewards for using drive form. The puzzle stuff in there will require specific skills that pertain to each drive form till you reach the end. Also to clear up your mythrial confusion, you need to make them in the synthesis shop. The shard form and gem form are the ones the Moogle can craft but if you need to make the next tier of them you need to select the serenity/3rd slot in the crafting mode on the second column. You can do this with basically everything the Moogle can make so you should try it more often. Even weapons can get upgraded. I hope this isnt a shout out into the void I really would love to help clear your confusion.

[@Arc115YT]

Heeeey needed a nice, chill video like this. Time to grab the popcorn.

[@soniclion0]

Congrats on getting those final puzzle pieces! For the Mushroom XII prizes, there are tiers based on the score you get. For instance, the one in Port Royal gives it's basic prize if you beat it between 1:40 and 2 minutes, all the way up to its best prize at less than 36 seconds

[@redlox2]

2:29:43 win! Congrats on that pirates world sticker!! Wooh wooh!

[@schuylerarmstrong943]

i wounder how long its going to take for them to realize that the drive forms have special requirements to level them up and remember that base form sora can use the drive form abelites?

[@JCDenton205]

i've checked and this is the longest kh video to ever exist in this series i was not expecting this video to be 2 hours long 😶

[@EmperorSephirothII]

Technically, I think I saw a VOD once of a guy fighting the KH 3 REMIND Data fights for like 5 or 7 hours? I forget. He was playing on Critical though so... *Beat the entire DLC in like 5 hours Data and Secret Boss included not playing on Critical.*

[@JCDenton205]

@@EmperorSephirothII i meant the longest video in terms of this series

[@korinomeku5957]

Perfect episode, made so much progress on leveling my drive forms :D

[@dom4257]

ive always been a kingodm hearts fan, but its been a few years since i really looked into it. i always enjoy seeing other people's reactions to the many moments in this series :D

[@soniclion0]

If by chance you are still grinding drive forms, there are a few really easy ways to recover drive gauge. 1) Go to the world map in any drive form 2) Enter the Pain and Panic Cup and immediately quit Both options will fill your gauge to max

[@aleahzubrod2943]

I can't wait till Monday so see if Erika indeed managed to catch the elusive puzzle pieces and grind off screen. Good luck Erika!

[@toondisney1109]

13:35 Girls, you have to summon the Disney characters.

[@krymsonuchiha14]

Omg! Gus uses his toys just like my grams dog! (He's a bichion!)

[@vividarkflower2974]

Wow this is a long one!!! 😂 I watched every second 👍 (Me to Sarah and Erika at the time of recording: "Now go take that week-long break!)

[@greenth-mac2550]

Few days ago I asked Scaramouche's VA (Genshin Impact) in a comment that I'd love to see him playing among us with the other Genshin actors, he looked interested by his replay to me so I was wondering if you guys can try to contact him and ask him for a time he can be free to join.

[@redlox2]

1:54:14 ooh that might be a hot take. I guess if you don’t like the additions in final mix I can see Erika POV. (Although personally even if they put the OG kh2 on PSN I would still only play the FM version) To each their own!

[@EmperorSephirothII]

2 and a half hours?! Good lord people! Oh well, *Popcorn munching noises* EDIT: I'd be willing to find all the stuff for you, beat Sephiroth, (who else better to beat me than me?) And get all the rewards from the mushrooms and beat all the other secret bosses via PS4 Shareplay. But seeing as there is a massive time difference, (I live on the other side of the country,) And the fact that this comment won't be seen until this series is well past the point of such actions being required, I don't think it will mean much. But it's the thought that counts right? :D

[@redlox2]

this is a fun episode just wrapping up some endgame content like the puzzles and treasures!! aka chatting time with Erika and Sarah!

[@soniclion0]

It's probably too late, but the Titan cup is all about using Summons

[@positive-stress]

this was an incredibly productive episode both in terms of completion % and personal growth for all of us

[@FlamingWhippet]

Gus in lap jail is how most people who know about leveling up the Drive forms feel right now. 😂

[@eddmario]

So, how many episodes until Erika realizes how to level her drive forms?

[@_Cetarial]

The finale probably, lol.

[@genkiian]

it explains how each levels up in the stats menu screen right?

[@joshuafranklin8599]

I'm so excited for them to see the menu on how to level up the drive forms and what experience they need

[@tikitravels]

Why didn't you CREME LARXENE as Final Form at 2:30:01 You were SO CLOSE to CREAMING HER! Also CONGRATs unlocking Final Form Erika!

[@movies798]

Thank you for another great video Erika and Sarah! :)

[@redlox2]

Just a time stamp 1:25:53 but finally Final Form!! Wooh wooh!!

[@MrEsyphelon]

Two hours in and I think they're about to have a Joker moment over mats for the Drive Recoveries :D

[@soniclion0]

I'm so happy that Erika is enjoying the Mushroom XIII, hopefull they track down the others

[@TheriiYuh]

a whole 2 and a half hours of content 🥳🥳

[@treys5530]

Erika, you should see how the drives level up in the Status tab when you pause.

[@treygavino]

Anyone else notice that they didnt relizes they unlocked arial dodge for base form sora, still loce the kh content, also the mushroom have didn't score requirements you need to achieve

[@GioTheHero7262]

Thank you for the video 💙💙💙

[@MimoK.]

I have been wondering, what are both of your favorite keyblades so far?

[@animegamelover6368]

2 and a half hours of DEDICATIOOOOOOOON

[@soniclion0]

You joke, but this episode is fantastic

[@gibbs615]

I hope you two will continue the story in the next one.

[@akakumu4332]

now that they know Final Form has Glide.. makes me wonder on how long they will realize leveling up Drive Forms have special requirements? 😶‍🌫

[@Jopawn]

I like that they have aerial dodge but dont know it.

[@Lilbirdy1010]

Me. Someone who has to collect everything that is dropped. Aka all munny and bubbles and hp and drive stuff. I keep yelling at her that she's missing everything like she can hear me. She can't. But still.

[@kdawner628]

Erika you are literally making the game harder for yourself 🤦🏽‍♂️. The cup? Yes you can't use drives, but you can still use summons. The drive abilities? Sora literally gets them for his base form. You don't constantly need to use drive recoveries or stay in your drive form.

[@xtianb7035]

oh wow 2 1/2 hours, this is a long one

[@Bicefal]

hello Erika

[@snb1013]

If I remember they gonna start legend of zelda on n64 after beating kh2
