Okay I started playing Aqua's scenario and I'm getting my ass kicked. Like MAJORLY. I already finished Terra's and Ven's and I was totally not expecting Aqua to be so difficult.

I understand your supposed to do cartwheels and block, but I can't seem to adjust my playing style. Anyone got any tips for me? I can barely make it out of the courtyard of Castle of Dreams. And I'm playing on proud mode if you're wondering.

Remember that you don't need to kill everything. Run to a save point and use that as a base to level up a bit from (thanks to the recovery).

Things should get more manageable from there.

Hunt bruisers, they'll help you lvlup faster than floods and pots. Remember, Aqua's the only player with a spherical barrier, meaning you can block ALL attacks, plus her cartwheel has a short range, so it enables a strong counter after dodging. Other than that...use your shotlock and D-Link with Ventus <Haste> or play the command board for a few commands, melding ASAP will make you stronger, especially if you go for HP boost or magic haste.
The first five levels or so are a pain, but after that Aqua becomes the strongest defender in the game.

Beat it. Got ultimate weapon on Ven.
Lvl 57.
Good stuff

Funny how people are having problems with Aqua, when it's like that way for me with Terra. It's pretty difficult getting used to his very slow movements during the first few hours of gameplay, especially having just completed it first with Aqua.

Just bought the game!
Let's see how this goes

If you shoot lock him, never lock more than 3 hits. Thunder Surge is the easiest way to take him out, although it's far from a cakewalk.

Kafriel · 2010-10-02, 00:45

I tried that too, he counters with renewal barrier the first time, stop/heal the second time and then he kept spamming doom on me...note that the doom counter never refreshes, so 2-3 times are enough to kill me unless I got Aqua D-Linked for auto-life. Anyway, thanks for the confirmation, gonna try harder!

k//eternal · 2010-10-02, 13:09

Renewal Barrier is a major reason you don't want to lock more than 3 hits, that and you can end up in very compromising positions. I don't know why the guide recommended shoot locks, since it's a pretty bad strategy in general... you can use them to get a little extra damage in on occasion, though.

A lot of his patterns can also be blocked and countered, although you have to make sure you don't block when he uses the light whip or that's the end of you.

Is it ever explained why Ventus shrunk in the Castle of Dreams while Aqua/Terra stayed regular size?

No, but I chulk it up to FGM doing it and not being able to explaine since others were around.

That is understandable, especially since FGM shrunk Aqua down to size in order to help Jacque in transporting the key to the room Cinderella was locked in.

Final Mix version is out in Japan now, and following in tradition, a new secret movie.

For those who are not planning on getting the Final Mix version or just don't care about spoilers, here's the video:

And here I thought that the story will continue in that KH 3DS

I guess when the ending states : 0.5, I instantly thought that this is going to be another chain of memories ;(

I wonder if there'll be another new plot in the next upcoming series.

Heartless, Nobody, now No Hearts

Now I am think that No Hearts is actually Keyblade Holders that loss their hearts or the shell that was left after their heart became heartless.

k//eternal · 2011-01-20, 17:36

But that's how Nobodies were defined ages ago. As for No Heart, think back to the KH2 final boss fight, you've probably seen him before.

Kafriel Senior Guest Join Date: Jan 2009 Location: Athens (GMT+2) Age: 35	Spoiler for Final secret boss spoilers, need halp: Any tips on how to beat the nameless masked man in Land of Departure with Aqua? I've tried finish-only tactics, got him down to 2 bars with ghost drive, but I run out of items or he scatters them around the stage, and then kills me. Also tried D-linking Mickey and auto-tele my way out of his attacks, but that leaves me with no way to damage him, since he goes invisible the very second I start locking on him, and deactivates my D-Link thru command scatter...
