[PS2] Kingdom Hearts 2

Ah, i got the game on wednesday when they finally arrived!

I played quite a bit, I just left Timeless River, and I just LOVED how they did place, my goodness they did it so well <3

Wont have much time to play though, finals are coming up =(

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Dont know if details were given about this, but with regards to the drive form

Spoiler:

For every successful change to valor, wisdom, or master you get one point (+1)
If a party member is dead and you get a succesful change, there is no point given. (0)
For every change to anti form, four points are taken off (-4)
When you change to Final Form, ten points are taken off (-10)
When you discover a new form, the points are set to zero~

0-4 points gives a 0% chance to get anti form when activating the drive
5-9 points gives a 10% chance
10+ points gives a 25% chance.

Theres also odd modifiers

"Most scripted battles" - 2x times the chances
"Battle against Organization xiii" - 4x
"Battle against Armored Xemnas" - 10x
"Battles with non-party cooperative characters" - 0x

-Taken from the KH2 strat guide

There's nowhere I can't reach.

So im trying to do the rest of the side quests and whatnot now and...

Spoiler:

Any of you guys have tips for the hercules tournaments? especially the titan one, where the jiminy requirement is 5000 points? I'm trying to figure out how to trigger double scores, or how exactly the combo's work... bah. Has anyone been able to do it?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

To be honest, i actually thought Sephiroth was easy... ESPECIALLY compared to the first one back in KH1. This is what i had/did

Spoiler:

I was level 74, had ultima wep, and went in with four elixirs, two hi-potions, came out with two elixirs and 1 hi-potion left.

Lock on is your friend, it saves you sooooo much as to knowing where he teleports to, i basically had him locked on throughout the whole battle, he teleports so quickly that by the time he disappears and when you press R1, you would have locked on to him already.

Air dodge, the skill you get from master form is LOVELY in this battle. Better yet, if you can, get the level 3 skills given from the drive forms.

The three special air attack combos are key here as well, specially the one which makes sora spin around a couple times as his first attack, (i forget the name of the skill -_-)

When seph does that fast slash attack which you can block, after blocking, run up to him, or do the slide attack, and then hammer away, but before the combo ends, use the skill which makes you press Square, to knock him up in the air, so you can continue an air combo. He will eventually teleport somewhere to the ground.

If you miss the block, youll lose the majority of your hp, have that once more ability to stay alive regardless of a combo and if you have the right level, you'd have second chance to survive big hits. Since you have one or both of those, you can spam reflega and let seph have it as he starts his ground combo as soon as you miss the block. Or just fall back and heal

When seph walks around slowly with his sword ready, approach him, to have him start his ground combo, do the high jump and air dodge to go above him, and while you are locked on to him, let him have it by blasting away with an air combo above. His ground combo has yet to ever reach me from above.

Whenever seph teleports behind you and does the attack which knocks you in the air, do the air recovery skill to get sora back in his feet, and strike with an air combo. If you time it right, which is basically, one right after the other as fast as you can, you will intercept Seph's attack, leaving him open for another huge combo, especially if you have Berserk Charge.

Knocked up --> recover --> attack/combo as fast as you can to keep him from doing that crazy attack that takes you down to 1 hp.

If he throws those blue orbs, I always do reflega to keep the orbs from coming in. For all the times I've had him do it, he quickly teleports beside me and tries to unleash a ground combo, but with reflega, the orbs and the slashes are negated.

With the fire attack, you can either run away, or stay on him and spam reflega. Its just with poor timing, youll lose a huge chunk of your hp.

With the meteors, glide around the map in a pattern of sorts. most times you can avoid most or all of the attacks (I usually did clockwise or counterclockwise through the map)

With sin harvest, whenever i got to him in time, the high jump, air dodge combo almost always gave me enough height and speed. The only times i used the elixirs was because I didnt lock on quickly enough to find him.

Hopefully it'll help!

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I didnt think Roxas was that short U_U

I'd soooo get a donald and goofy one!

Also... needing a hand in Olympus:

Spoiler:

The last thing left for Jiminy's journal is the 1000 point requirement in Phil's Pot breaking training. I go in with explosion, neg combo, and a fenrir, but it still doesnt cut it. I usually max at around 600 points...

It says in the game, bust the big pots to get smaller ones, or something like that, for more points? Whenever i bust it, i still get the three bigger coins, which result in only 30 points.

Any tips of sorts?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yeah I meant in comparison to the figure heights, must be Soras' shoes, lol

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

This will make all the orbs the small pots drop bigger and worth alot more. It becomes very simple to get 1k points.

Kyahhh Shonos, you're my hero thank you! U_U Took one try and i got over the 1000 marker! Thanks again =D

With regards to antiform, I got it 24 times it says for the report. I've only had a streak of two in a row, and that was during a normal fight. That time you got the anti 3 times, was that during a boss fight? Odds for getting anti are increased on particular fights so that couldve been why

FELIPE NO

You wont be able to have final form until near the end of the game.

Spoiler:

There is a cutscene in the last world, The World That Never Was. It takes place in the area called Memory Skyscraper. It's not until after that scene then you are able to get final form activated randomly

sigh. yay typos.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Personally for drives,

Spoiler:

I did wisdom in timeless river, with wisdom, i go to mickeys house, kill all the heartless there really quickly, run to the fire scene, thundaga around, head to lilliput but run back to the cornerstone hall, then repeat the process till my gauge is down to its last meter.

Once its down to its last bit, i head back through the door mickey's castle, drive gauge is filled once again. You can do it twice though if you have 6 or 7 gauges before running to the castle.

For Valor, i did it over in beasts' castle as the mosnters arent that tough, they can take a lot of hits, and i was collecting synthesis items as well >.>

Master, I did it in land of dragons, inside the castle. Those huge horselike monsters are all over the place inside and outside the castle, about 7 or 8 inside, and another 3 or 4 outside. They drop ALOT of drive balls. And they die after two thundaga casts. I go in, kill em, go out of the castle, kill those, and then head to the save point to go to the world map. I got about 150/200 each trip i believe.

For Final, Its just all the surrounding areas around Proof of Existence in the World that Never Was. There are four rooms surrounding that one spot, each with about 10-20 heartless each room, and they're all relatively small, especially with glide. Proof of Existence has a save point for easy access to world map that way you never run out of the gauge.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I was able to do it from round 21 i believe? or 11. one of the two.

Thundaga and magnega were my best friends in that tournament

There's nowhere I can't reach.
