A Kingdom Hearts Challenge

[Dragonor]

Hello everyone, i had the urge to replay Kingdom Hearts 2 in Proud Mode, and what better way to do it than impose myself a challenge!

What I'm going to do is to do a Low Level/Kingdom Key Only run of the game (Lets see how i can defeat Sephiroth like that). And because i can't record videos or anything, I'm going to post here a backlog of my progress through the game.

Wish me luck on this challenge, and you may even request extra challenges for me or other people to take on!

I've done this, more or less. I don't think I stuck to the Kingdom key but I rather imposed I would always use it or the Keyblade specific to the world I'm on, which you only get after beating it the 1st time anyway.

The trick is to never rise your level above what the world map display says is that world's current "battle level" before you've beaten the boss. TWTNW is lvl 50 and my Sora's at lvl 50 so I succeeded, but unfortunately I wasn't able to level up Final Form enough to get a good Glide ability on normal Sora, and if I tried he'd break that 50 limit, All that means is I've never beaten Sephiroth at lvl 50 using the Sleeping Lion keyblade b/c I can't catch him before he hits me with Heartless Angel w/o an Aerial Dodge - Glide combination, so I burn through Elixers in the fight and always lose the momentum to win.

So, there's my advice. After you've seen the scene with Roxas, don't actually kill anything and keep using drives with the save point drive recovery trick until Final Form is unlocked, and then only fight in that form and kill the tiny little Nobodies(Creepers) that are in the middle of the outside path after Xigbar's fight while ignoring the Samurais and Berserkers and Sorcerers and Assassins. If you only kill Creepers and never fight outside of Final Form you should be able to level it up w/o breaking too high a level, especially if you've gone low level all the way up to that point. Then Sephiroth should at least be a little more do-able.

Best of luck.
