It could be played on any difficulty you want but the guide will be based on the proud difficulty. I would turn off any attack abilities as you don't want your partners to destroy any enemies for any unwanted exp.(If you are doing a low level game) It will be displayed like this Area ____ Name Items to find: My time to complete: Overall difficulty: Battle ______ difficulty:Example 3/5 my thought 2->5 Can range from that. It can be just a number like Keyblade used: If I say same it means same as the last battle one I used Level ups: 1-->7 (Example) level after like (32) The walk through(Space here) Extra note +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Table of contents I: Information II: The walkthrough Just follow the flow (Ctrl+F) III: Questions? Answers? IIII: What credits? +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I: Information The low level run:You can spent your time watching the scenes and not rushing. You can take time to plan out your next move. The speed run: You skip every scene and take the quick way out of some fights that causes your level to be some what low. The low level speed run:You will skip every scene and take the quick way out of some fights. You will evade every enemy that you come across to get the lowest level possible with the lowest time too. This is what I am making The guide off of. I collected all of the items. -Small note: Kingdom key is not the weakest key blade. -And lowest level to fight Sephrioth is level 34/35 -Collect all the money dropped from required fight unless you can visit Port Royal the second time. -No attack abilities for other characters but you can use their limits (You don't have to) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ II: The walkthrough Remember this is based off of a low level speed run, not just one. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The introduction Roxas' Twilight town Items to find: Potion(9) Hi-potion(5) Ability ring Elven bandanna My time to complete: 1:14 Overal Difficulty: 3/5 After the scenes You choose a weapon. I chose the middle one that is defence+1. Then you beat up Seifer. Easy enough. Chase the nobody to the mansion gate. A boss battle starts! +++++ Dusk Difficulty 1/5 Attack 2 times then use reversal repeat. 11 hits and it's down if you don't use a finisher. +++++ Gain 1200 munny to get ap+2.

Get bonus:Aerial recovery +++++ Pick up the potion on your way up timing your jump to evade the dusks if theyare slideing on the ground after you.Boss fight time! +++++ Twilight thorn Difficulty 2->5 Key blade:The only one Kingdom key Level ups:none (1) Begin with Key counter,Lunarsalt,then break raid. When you get up you should be able to land 3 full air combos then 2 hits. Jump the slideing arm and use reversal twice to do a three hit combo. Three of these then he will sweep over the floor. It hurts if you get hit by it! He will stick his body underground and shoot electricity at you. This is what decides the difficulty of the battle you can stay back moving from side to side to evade the enemies or go up and use air combos but take major damage. I stayed back. After the attack he will shoot electricity but will move this time. Don't move! Use reversal over and over until you get close to him to do a combo. Repeat until he does the electricity move another time. Now he should do the reaction command stuff. After he should do a new attack by floating in the middle like a snake. Run around like one direction and when it seems like it's done do go up until he does this huge attack after. A few more reversals and combos and he should be dead Before another move other than the reversals to get to him. Get bonus:Guard Extra Note don't kill any of the creepers! +++++ Earn enough monney to buy 16 potions (1 to make your items full) Then do it 4 more times.(Letter delievery) Struggle battles now to do.

I almost died because I didn't want to use a potion. +++++ Axel Difficulty 2->3 Key blade:kingdom key Level ups: None (2) He will try to dodge your attacks by jumping to the side then later attacking you. you should use air attacks as usual here as he will get out of your weak attacks so you need to get to the finisher faster. When he gets down he is about to charge atyou so go stop him. When he says don't make me mad back off and move away from him. That is about it. Extra note: I made a topic About how the music sounded diffrent here. +++++ Get the championship belt (Did anyone miss this and got the medal instead?) Go to central station the take the train to go for the six wonders. Wonder one Check the back wall! Difficulty 0->1 Key blade:kingdom key Run up and use the reaction command hit. Wonder 2 Beat up the Vivi clones! Difficulty 1->2 Key blade: kingdom key Hit each clone once to beat them. it is 13(14?) clones. Wonder 3 Beat shadow Roxas!

Get ready as when you kill another one the Assassins will appear. Ignore them for now and kill the last Dusk. Now you have to get the Assassins from the ground. Attack them when they raise their arms to do their sweeping attack. It should deflect and bring it out of the ground. Three combos the get near it but not close enough to have it swipe at you. It will then charge at you selfdestructing for massive damage. I do not know how to evade it. Do this with the other one and the fight ends. +++++ Axel round 2 Difficulty 2->4 Key blade:kingdom key Level ups:no exp in this fight Axel is about the same difficulty as last time only he fights back more often now. Don't run up after the fight starts as you will get burned. Instead wait and attack him after that with a ground combo to use the reaction command Overtaker. Follow it up with clear Light reaction command. He will be stuned so use a ground combo on him then an air one. He will warp so be prepared to use the reaction command Burst edge. He will warp another time but you can't use it. Instead you have to attack him after He does the attack. In the combo you are doing his health should be on the last bar. Use burst edge on his new shockwave attack bringing him almost to half health but he will be less than half if you follow it up with a air combo. After attacking once he will glow with fire saying,"You won't forget this!"Just back off and avoid his frenzy. He sets the area on fire a warp to attack you but you should use Burst edge then instead of using overtaker I let him land almost and used a ground to air combo.He should be finished.

Lots and lots of them. Don't forget aero blade after speed trap. +++++ Find pete at the waterways to do an event! +++++ Cornerstone saving! Difficulty 2 Key blade: same Level ups: none (15) Our ps2 is messed up and I had no music in this fight.Anyway use juggle parry on the objects he sends at you then overhand. You can thunder in between to reduce the times you have to do this. When he loses his hp run to the other side and grab on reaction command to atart attacking the bow to get the corners tone out.

When you try to get close he may back up throwing these small balls at you. You want to be careful at Lilliput with the towers you don't want to get close to.

Save then choose it a second time to start an event. +++++ Ship Battle! Difficulty 4->5 Key blade: same Level ups: 1 (16) You have to protect the medallion. If one of then gets their hand on it you have sixty seconds to destroy them. Magic works wonders as it freezes them (blizzard) or stuns them (lightning). Their attacks still hurt and you have a ship aiming at you. Trouble starts when one gets the medallion from you because you have to fight no matter what condition you are in. And their attacks can do half health. With no second chance you have to be very careful. Hidden dragon with blizzard works well. Cannon fire from time to time to stop the ship from shooting at you.

(I got anti) When out use knocksmash again if nothing happened to Goofy.(Burning of frozen) They switch throughout the battle. Use Blizzagun like Firagun to stop attacks. Your partners will be useless even more in this fight than others. Just takes some time. Try not to attack the heartlesswhen they change. Sora Donald Goofy Aladin Get Bonus:Explosion/Hp increase/Armor slot/Hp increase +++++ You get the lamp charm with the Wishing lamp keyblade. Time to go back to twilight town! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Twilight town second visit Time to complete: 6 minutes 5:33 Total Overall difficulty 4.5 (I guess) Go to where the struggle battles took place for and event fight. +++++ Defeat the Nobodies! Difficulty 4->5 (6/5 Potential) Key blade: same Level ups: 1 (19) You start off against some dusks so I suggest you attack twice then reversal repeat. Be careful because 4 hits and you are dead. Explosion can work nicely also on the dusks. When one is left heal to max health. If cure wait until your mp is back. I used a potion instead. Start the second wave of dusks with knock smash then you should see a new enemy called a berserker. They are strong so watch out. They can leap at you so keep moving. When the berserker's sword(?) goes up in the air run away. After it stopes that it will take a wack at you but you should be far away by now. Then you will see it shine blue and trying to float over you This move really hurts like half of your health so you should drive right before it comes down into wisdom form. The back away taking regular shots at the berserker (Dusks can still be around) reflecting if it tries to land on you with that shining blue move. When you manage to kill this berserker then three(No fair) more come.(One drew it sword to its hand thus knocking out Goofy >_>.) Use knock smash if Goofy is up otherwise run to the best of your ability. After a KS they will start their sword stuff so use and ether and run. I do not know how to evade the shining move with no mp or drive so I got hit sending me into critical and I retaliated using KS one more time thus gaining a level and ending the fight. +++++ Go to the station plaza for an event ending by giving you the oathkeeper. Now on to Halloween town. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Halloween town first visit Items to find:Hi-Potion (3) Ether Mega-Potion, Mythril Shard, Mythril Stone (3) Mythril Gem AP Boost (2) Halloween Town and Christmas Town Maps My time to complete: 23 minutes 5:56 total Overal difficulty: 3 I started in the lab due to comeing here for an unknown reason before finishing Agrabah. When you leave the lab and event starts! +++++ Defeat the heartless Difficulty 0 Key blade: Oathkeeper Level ups: none (19) Winged knights. If you run up you will get slashed for almost one half of your health so do it then let them hit you some more ending the fight. +++++ Head to the tree in the hinterlands then head to the town for a fight. +++++ Heartless battle Difficulty 3 Key blade: same Level ups: none (19) I went for the items then attacked the driller moles then the toy soldier. Driller mole will not leave you alone going down into the ground like that so destroy then first. The toy soilder likes fighting from a distance and if you get closer it will pop out of the box and shoot at you for massive damage. If you try to go even further up(For you button mashers) it will come out with a pumpkin head with claws and hit you in a combot even if you were hitting it first. So just stay backand use thunder. You can always spin the object for some stuff and a little damage. I used wisdom and had to leave the world from Santas' place to keep my drive gauge up. +++++ Head to Santas' then his workshop to the graveyard and make a V turn around the corner there where the mythril shard is to start a miniboss battle. +++++ Prison keeper Difficulty 3 Key blade: same Level ups: none (19) The prison keeper starts with barrel (It always has for me anyway) and it uses a biting attack. It's easy to dodge but will cause a lot of damage when you get hit by it. Interupt it with some air combos and keep them going until it loses a bar and a half then it tries to change stats so use inside combo reaction to stop it. It went Shock before next but this time it was Lock. Lock is the one you would want most of the time. He throws fireballs that you can deflect with guard thus hurting it and stunning that is just asking for an air combo. When it backs away guard and repeat. When it changes to it's third form (Shock who is the hardest and most annoying)Use knocksmash from the top of the hill the go up and attack over and over until it uses all three forms at once use knock smash twice and drive into valor for some valor exp and to finish the boss off. All but Donald Donald Get Bonus Hp increase/Hyper healing +++++ Head to santas' workshop to start the boss fight. +++++ Oogie Boogie Difficulty 3 Key blade: same Level ups: none (19) You are on a moving platform that makes you hit spikes if you stop for too long so don't You have to use the reaction command Fore! 12 (I counted) times to knock him down. Go to town with knocksmash and watch him fly around. He will leave in the middle of it though. When he makes it up there quickly prepare to run and jump forward because the platform will move really fast and you don't want to get spiked. When he says I'll squash you flat be prepared for an punching glove to come down several times causing great damage. When he says that's right away you go start moving from side to side to. When he says I hope you like the boogie gifts I sent you you have to switch areas to evade extra exp from killing them. Extra note:Watch out for those Emerald blues viruses (Wind creatures) Sora Donald/Jack Goofy Get bonuses: Item slot/magnet/ Max hp/once more +++++ Time for the Pride lands. Go through sunlight storm first +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Pridelands Items to find:Hi-Potion (4) Ether (2) Mega-Ether AP Boost (3) Tent Mythril Shard (2) Mythril Stone (6) Mythril Gem Serenity Stone Torn Pages Savannah, Pride Rock, and Oasis Maps My time to complete: 29 minutes 6:25 total Overall difficulty: 4 Collect the few items and head to the next screne for a fight! +++++ Living Bones x2 Difficulty 2->5 Key blade: same Level ups: none (19) No once more so be careful. The way to make this easier is to use magnet then attack them a few times then repeat. Then aerial attacks if they are not finished off. The match could get hectic if you don't finish them off quickly. Their bites and spins hurt too much so be careful. Use rodeo and grand cross reactions if you want. +++++ Make your way to pride rock then go back to the savannah to find a diffrent area to go to called the Wildbeast valley. Continue going forward to find the Wastelands. Wastelands is a small area but is dangerous. Dash through collecting items quickly. Jungle is small also.Go to the north west to find the oasis and Simba. Back to the jungle for another event.To the oasis to earn the circle of life keyblade. Head back to the savannah for another event that leaves you at pride rock. Go in the king's den to start an event battle. +++++ Three hyenas Shenzi,Banzai,and ed Difficulty 2->4 Key blade: Circle of life Level ups: none (19) Don't underestimate them as they can rack up the damage meter and put the hurt on you quickly. Ground combos work well be be prepared to move away from their counteratack as it deals a lot of damage.(Half health) Call over Timon and Pumbaa before the hyenas charge at them. Use magnet a few times if you can't catch them. Can be a difficult battle. Sora/donald Goofy Get bonus: Hp increase/lucky lucky +++++ Head through the king's den to start a boss fight! +++++ Scar Difficulty 4 Key blade: same Level ups: none (19) A hard fight as most of his attacks hit for over half health with multiple hits and you don't have once more. You can stay back shooting blizzard but I would not do it. If Scar pins you press the relese reaction or you take lots of hits. In fact it might be enough to kill you. When he uses the fire powerup stay still and when he is about to go over you combo him. Repeat. For the lightning move just stay back as that is too dangerous to get close. For the dark power move you can dash out of the way but I reccomend reflect instead as this dash could kill you. Don't be near him when he starts it as that could kil you also. Sora Donald Goofy/Simba Get bonus: Mp increase and fira/fire boost/hp increase +++++ To Hollow Bastion! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Hollow Bastion second visit Items to find: Hi-Potion, Mythril Stone, Mythril gem, Mythril Crystal, AP Boost(3) Moon and Skill Recipies Castle Perimeter Map(SP) Mythril Stone, Mythril gem, Mythril crystal, Drive Recovery Mega-Potion, AP Boost,Tent, Gaia Belt, Ukelele Charm,(HB) Pit Cell and I/O Tower Maps My time to complete: 2 hours and 6 minutes 8:31 total Overall difficulty: 3.5 When heading to the next area skip the scene with Cloud. Then head to Merlin's house to skip the scene there. Head to the Bailey,skip the scene,The head to the Restoration Site. Use the skateboard to get to the Postern where you skip another scene. Now to the Corridors and another scene needs to be skipped. Through the Corridorsis Ansem's Study and an even to skip. Skip the next event with Leon and the computer further in the room to now be in Space Paranoids. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Space Paranoid first visit Hit the door enough collecting the orbs then you use the reaction command Freeze (Thought it would be release)Head to the canyon go in the center of the inside part and use the reaction command access computer. An event happens after you skip the scene. +++++ Real parts! Difficulty 1 Key blade: same Level ups: none (19) >_> Keep your eye on the red box. You can run around with it or just turn your view to find it. After they stop go and hit it. Very easy. I'm not sure what happens if you run out of time. skip event then head back to the pit cell. +++++ Use the reaction command access computer and select research lab to go back then skip the scene. Not required but if you want to go to land of dragons for some wisdom training. Train master to max at land of dragons by exploding the fireworks and you don't need exp to do it. +++++ Okay this is not required but is good. I have wisdom at level two only fighting required battles exactly at 20 exp and you should want it at level 4. I leveled it up to 3 with rapid thrusters and shadows at Lod's ridge and cave. You may be complaining about I'm fighting monsters out of battle that is required so here is the exp chart. level 36:108057 and Level 37:119887 level 36 to 37=11830 (By the way 5 exp to level 20 when I left.) Changing rapid thrusters exp from 4 to 5 like shadows you get 85 x 5=425exp not much of a matter huh? After I leveled it to level 3 I leveled master with the fireworks right at that area letting wisdom go off as I don't want to kill anymore enemies so I use drive recovery to drive and get master to level 5 with no exp on Sora. Return to Space Paranoids and skip the scenes for a minigame. +++++ Light cycle Difficulty 1 Use the square button charge on the enemies. After five it's over. Skip the scene and now it's time for an event. +++++ Race to the exit Difficulty 3 Running into walls hurt badly so you need to charge the guys and move around the corner fast. If youtime your moves around the corner then you can destroy them. At the end used the guard button to evade damage if you are about to die. +++++ Head to the data space and access the computer for an event fight! +++++ Freeze the monitors Difficulty 3.5 Key blade: follow the wind Level ups: 1 (20) Weaken them af much as you can and transform into wisdom to get wisdom exp. You have two minutes so hurry up. You don't want to kill more than you have to so collect all the orbs you can. It helps to have follow the wind equipped. Time limit is a little strict this way. Every one but: Donald Get bonus: hp increase/thunder boost +++++ Head to the I/O Tower Communications room and pick up the items after the scene and equip the gaia belt. Go back a room for the boss fight. +++++ Hostile program Difficulty 3.5 Key blade: Oathkeeper (follow the wind is a good choice) Level ups: none (20) This boss likes to make you back away so I would take off Sora's air finish due to speed and the boss doesn't care if he is getting hit and will still move. For the small diamond like objects aerial dodge out of the way/to the boss to evade them. Quick air combos are good. When you collect enough orbs try to get him coming around to you and time your freeze to have more time to attack him. Attack with knocksmash for quite a bit of damage. Aerial dodge the lazers and machine gun shots toward him to get in attacks for more orbs. Don't mess with him when he is charging around. If you use any form use master for the draw or valor for some exp when it is frozen as valor can't really get close. Slightlly annoying while still being a fun fight. Sora's Donald/Tron Goofy Drive gauge+1 and horizontal slash/Hp increase/Jackpot +++++ Skip the scene after the fight and leave the computer. Go to land of dragons. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ okay 59 kills to level up wisdom. 295 exp take away 1 for each rapid thruster kill instead. Get cracken and head to H bastion.(if you trained wisdom) +++++ Access the computer when you get back (Get out of S paranoids if you don't level up wisdom) then head to the corridors for a nobody/heartless battle. +++++ Nobody/heartles Difficulty 4.5 Key blade: Oathkeeper Level ups: 1 (21) Everything can damage you badly specially dancers. Make use of reflect for everything. Rising sun also.Knocksmash helps on dancers. Got some valor exp here.Crimson jazz are annoying and tough so watch out. Pretty hard +++++ Head further back a screen to the restoration site and skip the scene for another fight. +++++ Creepers and Dancers Difficulty 4.5 Key blade: same Level ups: 1 (22) Killed 4 dancers in anti form reducing exp by 1192. Reflect including the dancers charge attack. but don't mess up as you get punished for it badly. Air combos with anti if you get it or even drive in the battle. Still hard to beat. +++++ After the fight skip the scenes and head to the castle gate (hole to the right) from the bailey to start a boss fight. +++++ Demyx Difficulty 2 Key blade: same Level ups: none (22) Cool song. The fight starts with his 'dance water dance' only under diffrent conditions. Use regular attacks combined with wild dance reaction command to get rid of 50 forms in 40 seconds. 13:39 left on my clock. Knocksmash him. Now for his long range bubbles attack that shoots forward at you quickrun to the side or aerial dodge. Reflect if you don't have them. For the water bubbles above move to a side with quick run or just regular running. If you don't time well you will get hit so you could just reflect. When you get you mp back (mp haste) he will probably create some more water clones that you have to defeat one every second for 10 second or you lose the match. Pretty easy and I don't see what's so hard about this. I had 3:45 left to spare. When he says "Common, kick to the beat" start moving toward him but not close enough to get smacked. Then jump over on top of him and aerial dodge and attack at the peak to evade to attack and start a combo. When he sends the streams at you quick run/aerial dodge out to a side or reflect. (reflect's safest) another knocksmash then I used two ethers then a show stealer reaction command to a knocksmash which he did that "kick to the beat" attack. Finished him with a combo after that.Easy to beat but hard to no heal. Sora Donald Goofy Armor slot and blizzard element/ Blizzard bost/ hp increase +++++ Skip the scen and exit you menu to start event fight chains. It's nice to know that if you lose anywhere before the break you have to fight Demyx over. +++++ Helper Yuffie Difficulty 2 Key blade: same Level ups: none (22) She actually helps well. Use rising sun and that's about it for this one. Move forward for the next fight +++ Leon's help Difficulty 2.5 Key blade: same Level ups: 1 (23) A little harder because of moirning stars. Magnent them and combo. Rising sun again help a lot. If you chose the shield you learn reaction boost with perfect timing. Move forward for the next fight +++ Tifa's help Difficulty 3.5 Key blade: same Level ups: none (23) Hardest fight in the seris due to the morning stars.Rising sun to take out the morning stars easier. Watch out as their attacks are very strong and can take you out quickly. Move further for the last fight in the series. +++ Cloud's help Difficulty 1.5 Key blade: same Level ups: 1 (24) Easier even with the cramped space a Cloud is pretty strong. Later in the fight (quick fight though) Cloud will start flying and destroy heartless after heartless. You could just run around and watch as he can take care of them. Just watch out for the morning stars. +++++ You got cura. Collect the items save and go to the great maw for a fight. +++++ 1000 heartless Difficulty 1->3 Key blade: circle of life Level ups: 5 (29) The fight took over 50 minutes when I used no reaction commands. With reaction commands it's very easy. Do what you will. Take your pick it doesn't matter. I did it without sparkle ray or rising sun. Get bonus:Guard break=Sora +++++ Skip scenes and time to go to the land of dragons again.Now time to second visit the worlds. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Land of Dragons second visit Items to find: ap boost(2) mythril crystal, orichalcum, ogre shield, queen recipe, torn pages, palace map My time to complete: 32 minutes 9:00 total Overall difficulty: 3 When you first arive head up to the ridge for a cutscene to skip. Go further to the summit for a boss battle. +++++ Mysterious man Difficulty 3.5 Key blade: oathkeeper Level ups: none (29) The battle has two annoying factors. 1 the boss doesn't get stunned by your attacks at all and 2 there are rapid thrusters That try to give you exp so you have to watch out for them as much as possible. You can sit back using thunder then trinity when your mp is low or do the same with reflect. If you plan on regular attacks keep them as quick as possible. This bosses attacks hurt so watch out. The battle ends when he has about 1 bar of health. +++++ Head to the imperial square and skip the scene for a fight. +++++ Heartless battle Difficulty 3.5 Key blade: same Level ups: 1 (30) Assault riders and bolt towers. You could stay back and use magic with the bolt reversal reaction command. I suggest knocksmash. Then you could drive to refill your mp. If you go anti kill as many of them as you can. +++++ Head forward in the antechchamber to the mysterious man to start a battle. +++++ Nobody battle Difficulty 2.5->4 Key blade: same Level ups: none (30) They are very strong and two shots from the snipers can kill you. Reflect works wonders here if you are close to them. If your magic ever gets low use knocksmash if Goofy is even alive. Quite easy but they can really get on your bad side if you let them. +++++ Collect all the items in the throne room an head back out to palace gate for the conclusion of this world. Unequip explosion. +++++ Storm rider Difficulty 2.5 Key blade: same Level ups: none (30) Not really hard but just a very long fight. You start on it's back so use the reaction command hold on and let go before you get zapped by it's lightning. Now you want to attack the two spikes on both sides of it's upper body (sholders) with guard break as explosion doesn't work well. When the second one is almost down move behind it with your target on the horns and use knocksmash. It should fall to the ground while your using it. It will be weak to attacks then but after it raises it's head a second time move away or be blown away. I may charge over you droping bomb in a straight line so hop in a tornado and bust up to get on its back. Other than that it can slide down at you then you use vertigo toss after you slide first. That allows extra attacks. If it shoots lightning at you (four at once) guard it then guard the second set. It can get down on the bridge and create electric walls that close in on you so you have minimal moving space and charges a beam. When it's charging don't touch the horn or you get hurt. Hit it with something else like being close and using reflect so the shield touches the horn but not you. It charges twice. Then gets back up. That's pretty much it. Sora Donald/Mulan Goofy Get bonus:Thunder element/hp increase/tornado fusion +++++ Now you go to port royal considering your going to have trouble with Xaldin. Maybe. (Meh he is easy) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Port royal second visit Items to find: ap boost, high drive recovery, mythril crystal, orihalcum, meteor staff, king recipe My time to complete: 25 minutes 9:25 Total Overall difficulty: 2 Go down to the harbor to start a fight. +++++ The undead priates Difficulty 1.5 Key blade: same Level ups: 1 (31) Easy as they are weak agianst magic. Unload thunder or blizzard on them then knocksmash if you don't want to use an ether before you run out of mp. +++++ Go to the black pearl and head to Isla de Muerta. Always go back into the ship when you are ambushed. When you choose to go there agian a cutscen will happen. Skip it and go out to the deck for a mini boss fight. +++++ Grim reaper first time Difficulty 1 Key blade: same Level ups: none (31) It doesn't really fight back. Knocksmash the combo it. Find it over and over keep comboing it. You should leave this fight without a scratch. Sora Donald/Jack Goofy Get bonuses: Summon boost/hp increase/draw +++++ Your at the ship graveyard. Collect the items as you make your way through. Two screens ahead at the seadrift keep there is an event battle. +++++ Nobody theif Difficulty 1 Key blade: same Level ups: none (31) Just beat up the nobody for the medallion. Collect the items first though. You can get money for items with it by playing its games with the reaction command. +++++ Head back to the seadrift keep to get another medallion. Head further back in to the seadrifts row and get the medallion from this one. Head to the Isla. You have two choices. Get the nobody in the second room that is hiding somewhere in the closed off areas with boxes or go to the back and just beat one up. Take your pick. Oh, don't try getting that one in ten seconds or beating up the undead pirates for it to come out.(third area) Have blizzard or thunder on a shortcut with a couple ethers. After you collect the 4th a boss battle starts. +++++ Grim reaper second time Difficulty 3 Annoying factor 4/5 Key blade: same Level ups: none (31) I hope you got alot of ethers on hand. You should have on as many draws a you can. (That's not much) He is invincible until you get all those medallions in the chest and the only way to do that is by magic and reaction commands. Blizzard and thunder work well on him. If you attack him when he is invincible it will drop mp slowly so an ether when you are about to run out is good. Sometimes he will steal them out of the chest. You need to get close and use the reaction command hinder then loot launch. Knocksmash when he can be hurt otherwise just regular attacks work well enough. When he is almost dead he will steal all of them and do a massive jumping around attack. Takes awhile to get it all back. I finished the fight in anti form. A very annoying battle. With the wind attack even more annoying. Sora Donald Goofy/Jack Get bonus:Magnet/Flare force/hp increase +++++ Time to head to Halloween town for the second time. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Halloween town second visit Items to find: None My time to complete: 13 minutes 9:38 Total Overall difficulty:3.5 Head up to the gift making room for a mini boss fight. +++++ Lock,Shock,and Barrel Difficulty 2 Key blade: same Level ups: none (31) You have to capture them in the boxes. They last longer when knocked out so beat them up with ground combos and knocksmash. Then find boxes to trap them in. Annoying fight as they scurry around everywhere. Sora Donald/Jack Goofy Get Bonus: item slot/ hp increase/auto change +++++ Head to the town to and event battle. +++++ Presents for heartless Difficulty 4 Key blade: same Level ups: none (31) Hard as you need to get the presents without getting hit for least exp. When you get hit you drop a present and that usually makes you kill another heartless making more exp so weaken the starting heartless some then use knocksmash before those houses come and get your presents then you have to restart. +++++ Head back to where you fought those three and make presents. An easy way to do this is hold left shooting like crazy reload the hold right and do the same thing. Repeat and dont worry about them knocking the boxes out.Tell Santa you are ready and head out to boss. +++++ Experiment Difficulty 4 Key blade: same Level ups: none (31) One of the harder bosses. Start with knocksmash. Then use aerial attacks and the finisher should stop his moves from going off. It will soon split up and it's torso will spin at you. Use guard then the reaction command kickspring to keep it away. Keep repeating until it gets itself together. Use knocksmash agian then it will split up again. Use the guard/kickspring strat to evade damage. I drived into valor and let him eat combos when it got back together. Then it split up so I reverted cured and it connected its body back so I used air combos from the side as it shot at the distance with that other face. Went apart agian then I drived to recover mp and reverted. Went on and ended with me in valor. Sora Donald Sora/Goofy/Jack Get bonus:Finishing leap/jackpot/hp increase +++++ Head to Agrabah now. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Agrabah Second visit Items to find: Torn pages and the Ruins map My time to complete: 32 minutes 10:00 Total Overall difficulty:3.5 Head to the palace walls then to the sandswept ruins. Now you chase jafar and stop him from casting spells. Hit him with afinisher then follow him up to the top of the tower and beat up the heartless (I don't consider this one an event but I got to level 32 up there on top the tower.) Now you need to find the switches to trigger. One is down below the tower where your at,second is to the left most area that is closest to the tower you were just at, and the third is high in the sky above a building near the entrance. It's fire,blizzard,then thunder in the order I listed the three above.Now you have to race back to the tower and make it inside before time runs out.Collect the two items and head up and to the left around to the right and skip the scene. +++++ Flying event difficulty 1 Key blade: same Level ups none (32) Just find corners to sit in. Let them fly past you. The kills can't be evaded. +++++ Talk to the pedeler before the palace walls to start the boss fight. +++++ Jafar difficulty 4 Key blade: Decisve Pumpkin Level ups none (32) Quite hard. Watch out for the flying building parts he shoots at you.Attack his stomach with ground combos if you got the weapon I used equipped. Use three ground combos on his head before the reaction command roll up and spin burst. Now you can get another three combos in. Repeat until he starts using flame balls and lightning at you. You then get close to his stomach and use reflect. You will most likely get hit after but it's a trade off. Whenever he says I will destroy it all heal and move around in the diffrent area before you get smacked with objects. Use and ether after if your mp is not back yet. Repeat this until he goes down. His you'll never escape does no harm so don't worry. Get bonus:Fire element=Sora +++++ With the wishing lamp in hand Head to 100 acre woods. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 100 acre woods All visits Items to find: ap boost(6) mythril stone, mythril gem, mythril crystal,1 defense and magic boost,cosmic and draw rings,Style and guard recipe,orihalcum (2) 100 acre wood map. My time to complete: 33 minutes 10:33 Total Overall difficulty:0 Play the minigames.After you get the orihalcum+ time to go to pride lands. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Pride lands second visit Items to find: You visited all areas last time so none My time to complete: 17 minutes 10:50 Total Overall difficulty:3 Skip the scene and go in the king's den for another scene to skip netting you the running tackle ability. Now see the monkey at stone hollow (Forgot his name. Head out to the elephant graveyard for a event battle. +++++ Three hyenas Shenzi,Banzai,and ed Difficulty 1(not really) Key blade: same Level ups: none (32) They don't even fight back so just combo them but try to keep them on the ground. They jump away after a combo so stay on them. I find the roar finisher cool and fun to use.(square at the last hit in a combo) But do what ever you like. Running tackle works well at stoping them after you catch up with dash. Finish them off with thunder for an easy hit. Sora Donald/Simba Goofy Get bonuses: Accessory slot/hp increase/mp rage +++++ Now that that is over head to the oasis and skip the event to end up at pride rock. Head out to the Savannah to end Pride Lands.(Already?) +++++ Ground shaker Difficulty 3 Key blade: same Level ups: none (32) Battle starts with you almost out of control and you have to use the reaction commands jump several times then end it with fend to knock it down. Now go to a side of its head and start attacking I like to jump then use square as much as possible and end with and X finisher. Repeat until it gets up. Now run forward and use the reaction command leap twice to reach the back of it. The thing on top is the real enemy. The aerial square attack works well still and can knock his face off allowing more attacks to be done. To evade the lightning get down far on one side quickly. To evade his invisible combo rush either do the same as the lightning or use reflect as couple of times. When you are forced to get off and you see flames coming down a straight line got attack the head like at the start but knowing when to back away to evade the flames or use reflect and continue the assault. When it starts running around the place you have to start the reaction command sequence like at the start of the match with the jumps and fend. After the second fend attack the head again.Now jump up on it's back and finish the boss off. It doesn't have any new attacks this second time one the back but doesn't need them. Simba/Sora Sora Get bonus:Hp increase/thunder element +++++ Time to head out to Beast's castle. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Beast's Castle second visit Items to find: You visited all areas last time so none My time to complete: 23 minutes 11:13 Total Overall difficulty:2.5 Okay for the sake of some I came here as late a possible because of the people saying Xaldin is hard so you can have a little more of a chance of beating if he is hard for you. I usually come here after land of dragons because I have no problem with him. Anyway on with the guide. Talk to beast and skip to a nobody battle. +++++ Dragons and Dusks Difficulty 2.5 Key blade: same Level ups: none (32) Not too hard. Reflect works well here. Take care of the dusks with regular combos or reflect. Then use air combos on the Dragons(Things with lance) Reflect their version of jump or move and jump out of the way.(Aerial dodge if you have it or quick run.)I killed the last dragon in anti shaving off 455 exp which is like that wisdom training long ago exp. Oh yeah use learn if you want. +++++ Head to beast's room,skip the scene and head right back in and skip this for rumbling rose and a map. Head back to the entrance hall for another event fight. +++++ Dragons and Dusks Difficulty 2.5 Key blade: Circle of life (I don't know why.) Level ups: none (32) Almost the same as the other fight but the song did change for the better. Three dragons,then a few dusks, then three more dragons. Follow the strat from the other fight you just did and you should be fine. +++++ Head out to the courtyard to finish off Beast's Castle for good with a boss fight. +++++ Xaldin Difficulty 2->5? Key blade: Circle of life (I don't know why I didn't change it.) Level ups: none (32) Awesom music! Anyway he is pretty easy if you know what you are doing. Start with a knocksmash. Don't worry about your mp. Now he should start his winds move. Now move away a little. If he is walking toward you let him and when you see him pull back guard to block the thrust and catch him off guard. While he is off guard stock up on jumps. Let them loose but keep two before he fully recovers. He may thrust at you again so repeat. If he goes in the air to do that lightning attack(?) run away from him. You can cross over quickly and run to the other end of the bridge between his short bursts with quick run or aerial dodge. Now his health should be lowering. If he sends out that slow shot thing run the other way. Now if he says winds and starts teleporting to you time your reflect or aerial dodge so his winds that surround him don't hit you on contact. If he doesn't say winds before teleporting several times toward you he is going to thrust so guard and stock up on jumps. Keep two. Chances are he will do his invincible combo so guard it, aerial dodge away, or quick run away. To block that fates of dispair or whatever wind attack time a jump if you have one (why you saved 1) to go over it or be around the middle of the bridge and reflect once or twice to come out without a scratch. He usually does it agian (The full invincible combo) right after he gets back on the bridge so that's why I wanted you to save two jumps for the second wind attack. No new actions so repeat until dead. Another tip is if you havo no mp or jumps drive to evade the wind move or go all the way to the right on the bridge to take less damage.

The skateboard helps for go faster. Skip the scene for a fight. +++++ Nobody battle Difficulty 2 Key blade:same Level ups:none (33) Reflect works nicely but I like to use master's disaster finisher more. Just beat them up.

It's your choice. +++++ With Auron's statue in hand go to pain and head to the match and skip the scenes.You now fight Hades. +++++ Hades Difficulty impossible Key blade:same Level ups:none (33) Hit him a few times and the match will end. +++++ Skip the scene and the real match begins. +++++ Hades Difficulty 2.5 Key blade:same Level ups:none (33) Hades' attacks hurt but he is stil easy. Hit him out of berserk with an aura sphere or the reaction command to launch it. Then use knocksmash. Repeat if you want with ethers or use combos until your mp comes back. Either way try to keep him out of berserk to stop that giant ball in the center causing flame spots on the ground like the volcano lord. I would try to get as many ground combos because of my weapon but Hades floats so that doesn't happen often.No need to drive or anything.

Use quick blade when you get the chance on the magnum loaders. Regular combos work on the magnum loaders but not really on the Devastators. +++++ Head to the I/O Tower halway and skip the scenes for another fight. +++++ Devastators and Strafers Difficulty 3 Key blade:same Level ups:none (34) I killed four Strafers in anti 1240 exp shaved. Use the same strategy for the Devastators as the earlier fight. Just use regular ground combos on the strafers. Master combos in the air work good. +++++ Head to the I/O Tower communications room. Skip the scenes and head to Simulation hanger. Get through there and depart on the solar Sailer Simulation for a fight. +++++ Devastators, Strafers, and Magnum loaders Difficulty 4 Key blade:same Level ups:1 (35) (Okay I did another run on the game and stayed level 34 here) Time limit on your hands. Use Tron's at first to get rid of the first set of enemies. Concentrate on lone strafters with combos then magnum loaders come. Drive and revert for mp. Attack regularly until the message comes that there is too much weight and use knocksmash. Use ethers to get you mp back. When two devastators come use knocksmash once more but be fast as the weight is rapidly increasing. Sora/Goofy Tron Donald Get bonuses: Hp increase/magic increase/Mp hastera +++++ Collect the four items Central computer core map,cosmic arts,ap boost and a orihalcum+. Head further in to start the boss battle. +++++ Sark and Strafters Difficulty 1 Key blade:same Level ups:none (35) (On other run still 34 allowing me to fight sephiroth at level 34 after this.) Sinister shadows song. I used knocksmash on Sark. The strafters get in the way and get killed. Use zone guard and disk strike after to go back at him. Just combo him and it will soon be over. +++++ Sark and MCP Difficulty 3 Key blade:same Level ups:none (35) Start by attacking Sark's legs until he collapses. He will not just stand there as he will use lightning that you should reflect to cause even more damage to them. Then hit him on the head. Repeat until he goes down. Now break the walls down,(wrestling.:p) okay one of them only and have tron in the party to use charge reaction for damage. Keep pressing until you see the walls starting to stop bouncing around as they will come down and you will get hit by a lazer. Evade the lazer and wait untill the attack stops. Find the opening quickly before he says eliminate all threats and spins the blocks protect himself. I make several openings because of that. Do not delete when Sark is up as the disk he throws takes like half health. Later in the match Sark will say going somewhere and create a wall. Go to it and use the reaction commands climb then needle dive to instantly knock out Sark. Keep it up and MCP will go down. Have auto change on Tron to be able to swith him in at any time instead of having him ko'ed. Sora/Donald/Tron Sora Goofy Get bounses:Hp increase/Reflect element/accessory slot +++++ Now that that's done Finish A of the D gummi ship mission.

Sora/Goofy Donald Get bonuses: Hp increase/lucky lucky +++++ Inside the mansion go to the upper right(Collect the items first around and in the lower left room.) then drop down and go in where Roxas broke the machine.

Get Bonus Mp increase=Sora +++++ End of twilight town now at The world that never was. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The world that never was only visit Items to find:Ap boost(3) Mythril stone(3) Mythril gem(2) Mythril crystal(4) Orihalcum(4) Orihalcum+, Cosmic belt, Dark city map My time to complete: Somewhat unknown includes atlantica and other side visits. Overall difficulty:3 You are at the level you should be at the final door. Head to twilight view collecting items along the way and save. Proceed to the next boss in the next room after you skip the scene. +++++ Xigbar Difficulty 4 Key blade:same Level ups:none (36) The third hardest boss for me. Start the battle running from the first three or so shots then use the reaction break. Xigbar shoots at you quick and you should guard or aerial dodge to him and combo him. Sometimes he will still shoot you for some damage. When he says heads up that means his hands appear near you and you should jump and aerial dodge. If he makes a big shot(he is going to) time a reflect instead of warp snipe because that leaves you open. The reflect seems to absorb it and still send out the damaging shield so be close to him to cause a little more damage to him. He changes the field several times. Hit him with a finisher to change it back but only if it stuns him. I hate the one where it's a square and and little strip in between which you have to get around to. There is a long strip and a square dice like one with four holes in it. Quickly get a finisher to change it back. He likes to warp over your head a shoot down at you in three short bursts so watch out. When you get him down to 2 and a half bars and he says now this is getting intresting the battle just got harder. He shoots two big shots in a row and quicker so do your best to reflect them. For his invincible attack stay in place when it warps you, jump over his shots while he shoots on the platform in a circle, (Jump and aerial dodge in place.) now he is going to appear in the upper left corner(If you didn't change your view.) So you jump forward and aerial dodge to the upper left where he was shooting from but a little to the right. Now keep going around to the left with him but staying back to not get shot. When he warps on the platform saying let's see how you dance start running in a circle making sure not to run into your teammates causing you to get caught up in the storm of shots for massive damage. If you do this right though you can get through with no scratches on you. That's pretty much as much as I can help you. This fight is long and hard. Good luck! Sora Donald Goofy Get bonuses:Magnet element/Item slot/Hp increase +++++ Head further in to proof of existance and save.Head to Luxord now. +++++ Luxord Difficulty 2 Key blade:same Level ups:none (36) Start by keeping your distance away from him until you turn back. When you turn back you should flip his cards with the reaction command. Okay. When he says a challenge is it move closer and use the reaction command play game. An easy way to do this is to go down one to the second command part that is usually magic and wait until it goes around to the third time. When he says hearts move away and jump as he will jump over behind you so you catch him in the air with a combo and move from the spinning cards. When he starts the three look closelly game take your time and choose the right one. It gets harder and harder for the third time but is still easy. When his time goes down to reads(around there) t he screen grows darker and he says look whos on top of the game. Start jumping and aerial dodging to evade his scatter and such. When he calls Sora behind giant cards another minigame happens. You have to get four O marks down the row. If you succeed (you should) thunder him to finish him off. Get bonus Hp increase=Sora +++++ Save your game and head in the other room to a fight with Saix. +++++ Saix Difficulty 2 Key blade:same Level ups:none (36) Easy. In fact very easy.He starts in berserk. Let him start attacking then run away a little and move to the side a little to evade the third hit in that series. Grab his dropped weapon with berserk command and move away from him. When the triangle/reaction command button appears move toward him and use Eclipse before his attack goes off then magma storm reaction after a few hits to knock him out of berserk. Now move sort of close to him and reflect his attack. Hit him with 2-3 combos depending if you have fenrir but without it only do two.(Assuming no combo plus are on) Then guard his charge move. Now reflect his slow combo again and and hit him with two more combos or so. If his bar is almost full and he is about to break out of your combo Grab the weapon before he transforms So when he drops to the ground in berserk you can knock him right out of it instantly.Repeat until dead. Sora Donald Goofy Get Bonuses:Drive guage/hp increase/item slot +++++ Head further in to fight Xemnas +++++ Xemnas Difficulty 2 Key blade:same Level ups:none (36) As easy a Saix. Go up to the building to make the invitation to nothingness dissapear(The health drain) with the reaction command face down. When they get close in slow motion waith for finish to appear and choose that reaction command as it's the best out of the three. When he is stunned hit him with combos until he warps down away from you. Follow him and hit him if he doesn't warp. If he warps then jump and aerial dodge over his two hit move and hit him with an air combo. He can use that guard move before it. Other than that When he twirls them around in a long combo move away as you should still be in the air and guard it several times(five) when he comes near. The alternative to jumping is to just time your guards. One of the first fights I got a no hit on even though I got a little lucky. Get bonus: Mp increase=Sora +++++ Head to atlantica +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Atlantica only visit Items to find:All automatic Now head to hollow bastion/Radiant garden. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Head to sephiroth. If you don't know where that is it's at he is further than the 1000 heartless battle. +++++ Sephiroth Difficulty 2->5 Key blade:same Level ups:none (36) (34 on a other save because I fought him right after SP) Difficulty depends on you and your growth abilities. You should at least have level 2 aerial dodge. Start the battle with guard so stop flash and it's 13 hits. Hit him with one combo. Guard once and counterguard and finish the combo. Repeat until he says know your place (4 and a half bars gone) then hit him with another combo instead of the usual one combo. He will warp. Now he can teleport and hit you in the air. To counter this aerial recovery and lock back on while comboing him. While after you hit the ground run toward him and use slide dashes ability to get another combo and he will warp agian. To stop his shadow flare move(the orbs) use reflect. To dodge Firaga wall aerial dodge away or quick run away.You can get in a reflect by knowing then the wall will end and run into it almost and use reflect.If you get they off you can do two combos off him. Jump and aerial dodge to him to stop heartless angel anytime it happens. When you take him down to four and a half bars of health he transforms(sort of) and is even more dangerous.He has a charge attack that knocks you in the air a little and can kill you even when once more is equipped so reflect it of jump. He uses meteo as the match goes on. You evade it by jumping side to side with aerial dodge. He does flash after this so use block or reflect to evade the damage. Keep it up and you'll win. A little note: Sephiroth doesn't have a set pattern the whole match. It's only the first four and a half bars. You can predict and sort of make him do a move but not know what he is going to do for sure. Also take of slapshot. Get bonus:Drive guage power up=Sora +++++ Tell cloud where he is and go back there to get Fenrir. Now head back to The World that Never was. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The world that never was continued 1st visit Head through the door to kingdom hearts for the last battle. +++++ Xemnas part one Difficulty 2 Key blade:Rumbling rose Level ups:1 (37) Move forward and use the reaction command slicer. Go to the next area. Move forward and use the reaction escablade then several sky scrapers to the next area. Now hit every enemy that appears and use the reaction command stunt dodge to evade the cores shot.Repeat on both sides once more to get to the next area. Now you need to attack the door or destroy enemies then attack the door. Assassins,creepers, and berserkers. Master's thunder and disaster work well. Or reflect. Knocksmash and ethers work well on the door.Now you are fighting him on a throne. Sesson with riku is good. I got final form here and finished the fight in it. Reflect on his guard move but not too close those.Reflect his swipe at you or there is massive damage.Knocksmash is okay but Cosmo boost will not hit much in fact maybe once. Easy. You could just stand in front and reflect for an easy win. +++++ Skip scenes for the next fight. +++++ Ship battle part two Difficulty 4 Key blade:Rumbling rose Level ups:1 (38) You got to work with your one fragile life bar. You should move around in squares shooting lazers and when you get up to the exploding enemies hit them with your finisher hits of your combo. Use megalaser when Both sets are out. (The ones that explode and the ones that shoot at you.)Not much else advice for this one. +++++ Skip scenes for next fight. +++++ Throne part three Difficulty 2 Key blade:Rumbling rose Level ups:none (38) Reflect on his guard move but not too close those. Reflect his swipe at you or you take massive damage. Knocksmash is okay but Cosmo boost will not hit much in fact maybe once. Once you take his health down to four bars(3 down there and on full one on top) he will blast you of all the way back. You can use reflect to stop yourself from getting blasted back but you cant hurt him so let it happen. To evade lasers glide straight for him. To evade buildings repeaditly jump or let yourself fall. For the somewhat homing lasers you let yourself fall or jump in a circle in sound with the louder sound. (every second sound) If you don't understand jusp let yourself drop to evade it. Now you are supposed to get close to a building and use riding shot and Meteor rain reaction commands. After that he will do the Homing laser thing I was just talking about. After that go and glide to him and treat the battle like before only a little more cautious of the lasers on the florr that sorta follow where you are at. Still easy. Thunder can finish him from very far awar and can be a source of damage. +++++ Skip the next scens for the final boss fight. +++++ Xemnas white suit version part four Difficulty 3.5 Key blade:Rumbling rose (You can't change it in the final boss rush.) Level ups:none (38) Start with a lot of reversals. Keep doing it as his attacks hurt a lot if you get hit by them. (most) After you make it down he will have a clone of himself and try to confuse you so you get hit by his two kicks(high damage) of his spinning saber attack(fatal and can kill without once more.) Other than that use reversal on his lightning attack to get in a combo before he moves.Later he starts using the red lasers from the match before. You can guard them or use reflect to stop damage. There is also aerial dodge. At times he will have one clone out and they will be looking at you. They will shoot after a little while so be prepared for it. A little later he will zap Sora and you now have to control Riku and get to Sora to save him. Use the square button for dark aura of ten to keep the clone away as you move forward. Get to sora and save him with the reaction command rescue. At about 3/4th left of his last bar you get covered in a dome of lasers. Press triangle and X (not mash) with a little but not much speed to make it through the attack. After the mini scene use thunder, session, or whatever to finish him off. Extra note: You can reflect the begining move to do damage but you take some and trigger a mini event where you have to use the reaction command block. Also reflecting the red shots can hurt him if timed good. Congrats you beat the game a a low level! Enjoy the ending! Any questions?

A: I usually do but for the sake of others who find him one of the most difficult I fought him as late as I can so you could be at the highest low level at that part of the game.
