Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix (PS4) - Lingering Will No Damage (Level 1 CM w/Deadly Restrictions)

One of the hardest challenges in the game with deadly restrictions. Terra can be beaten pretty easily if you loop his DM and use limit form. However, if you don't loop him in the last phase he can be extremely difficult. The no hit restriction is super annoying to go for because you can do nothing wrong and get hit by the little canons that surround you in phase 3. This happened to me several times where I got hit for no reason which is very frustrating. If you don't time the second part of the DM perfectly then you will probably get hit without glide. I have done this on my channel before but with a few less restrictions.

[@ultimakey3111]

Brosph Brostar Agreed

[@noahert1337]

Do it >:)

[@aultinbarltino]

sweet memories is more useful in the final mix than in the original. so if he were to do this with a not so good keyblade, i would heavliy vote Hidden Dragon. it has +2 to both strenght and magic and has the ability mp rage which will be utterly useless in a no damage run.

[@dink7458]

@@aultinbarltino on lvl1 stats don't matter because your below the damage floor. The only reason why you'd want a certain keyblade is for its ability. So sweet memories and hidden dragon would be the same in terms of damage.

[@LightKeyDarkBlade]

There seems to be a misconception that the Sweet Memories is *the* weakest Keyblade. In terms of stats (strength), yes it's the weakest. In a no damage and no magic run (it has a +4 magic), it's ideal to be the weakest. But against this boss (especially on level 1 Critical Mode), it barely makes a difference. However, the Kingdom Key would be ideal in this case to be the weakest one. Why? It has a slightly shorter length than the Sweet Memories. It's just a slight difference (when compared with the Decisive Pumpkin and the Ultima Weapon) but I believe it affects the battle more than just strength stats. Distance is an important factor and you might miss a hit with a shorter Keyblade. WillJV2 has already done a Kingdom Key version and he explained his own reason of using Kingdom Key: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGe5dGCbqLZ2j7M

Great job! Very well played. I'm shocked that he gave you rising sun in both phases (pre-DM). How long did you have to wait to get RNG that good?

No looping eh, I remember watching michaku tohunen's videos from waaay back, he did that before it was a thing. But in his video he always triggers the revenge, and still manage to dodge the whip after, crazy stuff really, very tight timing after an explosion. Good job bro! I liked, made me remember of those michaku's + bizkits vids. Edit : While watching it again, it seems you do looping strats. After some finishing leap combos you back away , instead of triggering the revenge. When you trigger the revenge every single time and react to the chaos after, that's the true no loop experience.. For example, if terra was using the bow patern moveset, he would most definetly end up looping his moves if you didn't trigger the revenge each time. So the true loop doesn't depend on RNG for him to not loop his moves, you gotta combo him all the way and stuff. I think only michaku tohunen was able to do this to this day. Unless someone else did it too.

Well done...however I am 100% sure the Lingering Will got forced into a near 100% pattern of predictability he couldnt get himself out of, because not once was there a Keyblade Glider phase or Keyblade Bow phase.

[@WillJV2]

I purposely didn’t loop him so he’d mix things up a bit. Sure the first rising sun phase was pretty easy since I am pretty familiar with his overall move set. The second phase I just reacted to whatever he did. Keyblade glider phase is awful rng since you can’t really get through it without insane luck or breaking my restrictions by using magic or guard if he does lasers and rising sun at the same time. I did this challenge again with kingdom key a couple weeks ago and got the phase where he used bow and ultima canon often.
