I think it was added to the FM of KH2 (along with changing targets with L2/R2).

I'll probably feel dumb about asking this in a minute. How do you soft reset?

Thanks!
You have to cast Stop and try to land as many hits as possible to get rare items, but it's better to try that with the one that appears in Deep Jungle.
Ah, thanks. But I also didn't get a Stop Arts item from the mushrooms. Any reason for that or just bad luck?

Thos particular ones that summon the giant mushroom don't give arts.

I think you answered your own question.
Watching two Dazzling Stones disappear into the water is incredibly discouraging... second only to fighting/farming Sniperwilds in general. I fucking hate those things. All the other rare items are easy enough to farm, just tedious -- these take the cake for being tedious AND difficult. I've tried sneaking up on them from every entrance into the Second District, stopping one/killing it/running away, etc., and one of the ones I'm not currently killing always ends up seeing me. Ugh. Whoever at Square thought they'd make a great addition to Final Mix... well, I have a few choice words for them.ghostlyspice

I actually feel like my luck increases the longer I've been playing lol. Maybe it's just me.
Plus it's potentially just my PS3 but saving seems to take forever and I couldn't deal with that every time I go to soft reset.

When do I get counterattack? I picked staff and I'm level 41 and still dont have it.
Edit: Eh, the guide I was reading was dead wrong about the leveling.

You need to spam it, since as far as I can tell only every other one hits (or something), but it works, yes.
Right on thanks for the info, I will play one and watch the other, I got bbs I just gotta dig out my psp. I love this series.
I didn't realize I placed a spoiler, I'm guessing it was the
staff
No, you didn't, I was just speaking in general. Somebody mentioned a specific event in Days.

They did neither. And seeing as they botched the controls on this one while trying to fix the camera, they should leave KH2's control scheme the fuck alone.

Where are some white mushrooms that want stop and aero used on them?
Crimsonlink

Aero Arts is located in the Graveyard in Halloween World.
Its so stupid how Square broke this.
In KH Vanilla you usually got Stop Arts in Atlantica underwater. But nope, now they have that shitty Pink Mushroom which ruins everything!
If anyone got Stop Arts anywhere else, please let me know so I can retract my statement.
Inside the Sunken Ship in Atlantica.

O_O ;_; All that time I wasted at the end waiting for a Stop Arts..........

Welp that was something.
I decided to leave #TeamStaff and went back to my original choice on vanilla KH +Sword-Staff char.
got owned so badly I felt bad for him, he could only use Dark Aura once and I was able to spam counter attack until his guard was down, definetly I'm not a mage on any game.

Thats right man! #TeamSword is the way to go.
KH 2.5 needs to be announced next E3 and then KH 3 release date at next TGS.
When Sora begged Saix to get Kairi back.... dem feels. Felt so satisfying to kill Saix and rescue Kairi later on in the game. Sora X Riku fangirls/boys can cry all they want but Kairi is Sora's princess and nothing will change that. Their Bromance is awesome but it isn't romance. Axel and Saix though, lol.

Damn, there's no Fry's in my state.
I like to stop by there to grab Thunder magic (but not fighting in the preliminaries yet) before going to Wonderland.
Been playing through Re:CoM. While this game has slightly more iffy voice acting due to a) Haley seemingly trying to sound younger and b) matching lines to lips, I think David does a really great job with Riku
and Repliku
I also thought David's performance in Dream Drop Distance was notably better than Haley's as well.

Thanks for the tip. I was fighting the prelims and dying about 7 matches in
Remember that each world shows it's difficulty. Right about, or was it below?, the name it shows the difficulty in stars. That's more of a recommended path.

A general tip for first time players is to level up at least by 2-3 levels per world or 4-5 for Proud mode.
Say you left Destiny Island at level 7ish after Darkside and some farming of Exp.
You should hit 10-12 at the end of Traverse town.
14/15 at Wonderland
16/17 at Colosium as the enemies over there don't give as much exp and its hard to solo with Sora at the very beginning.
Level 20 by the end of Deep Jungle or higher.
Now here is where it gets tricky. Air Pirates appear in Traverse town so that makes things a bit harder. You have to be careful not to get killed by those guys.
24/25 by the end of Traverse town 2.
Then Aladdin's world should end with you near the 30s.
Monstro is next and you should leave at the 32/33 range considering how much exp you need to level up and the time it takes.
Then either Atlantica or Halloween Town which nets you another 2-3 each if you don't bother farming so around the 41ish level range.
Neverland is the next stop and you should try to hit level 45
Then we get to Hollow Bastion. You should be near level 50 or higher for the Riku fights.
Then its grinding hell as you try to hit the high 60s to beat the optional bosses and try to grab everything in Proud mode.
Overall you work your through the rest of the 40 levels to reach the unstoppable level 100.
Technically after level 80 no one except the Super Bosses can beat you and Sepiroth cannot even kill you lol.

This will definitely come in handy as a guide, thank you Crimsonlink!
I have played this one before (original US version) back when it first came out, and only played it once. I feel like I don't know the game at all anymore haha. So, it kind of feels like a nice, first time experience. I started right when I beat Tales of Xillia, so going from such fast paced combat to this leaves the fights more difficult than they actually are.
Still, absolutely loving the game. I can't wait for them to get in gear and drop 2.5. KH2 all day!
How much of the treasures and stuff are able to be missed? I know you can miss out on the Pretty Stone if you lose to Riku in the race in the beginning.
Crimsonlink
Member
You are welcome Depu. Glad you are having fun
Treasures aren't as important as in KH2 where they counted for Journal completion.
You can miss a ton of them and not worry. With the exception of Aerora which for some reason is in a chest in Neverland, you can safely miss most if not all treasure chests.
Some are smack dab in your face and have nice things like Power Ups and other Ups.
Also some synth materials such as Dark Matter is important to get if you want to make Synthsis much easier or want the Ultima Keyblade.
Speaking of which, for all the trouble the Ultima Keyblade is worth why not increase it's stats more so that it actually is the Ultimate Keyblade instead of a slightly better one and thats only in KH1. In KH2 Fenrir is better imho.
Trinities are unmissable now so you are good on that front. Can't think of anything in particular that you can miss in the Final Mix version.
Pretty Stones are hardly something to miss. I opened my beginner file and lost to Riku due to arrogance and just went on. It only sells for 100 Munny which is chump change lol. Plus its fun seeing Sora's face when Riku beats him. Not that you shouldn't beat him if only for glory and Riku's sour face lol.

Haha sounds good, thanks a lot! I am glad Trinitys are all easily obtainable now. Here's another q! I beat the gummi ship missions for both the route to the Coliseum and also Wonderland, yet only got one trophy. That's normal right? Just wanted to be sure it didn't glitch!

Yeah, you get 3 trophies based on doing one mission of each level. So you do Traverse Towns 3 gummi missions then you get all 3 trophies. You can mix and match as well. Do one gummi mission in one world while you do two missions in another and so on so forth.
Just a bit of warning, watch out which side you put Monstro on. You don't want him in the path of Atlantica which has an annoying Gummi mission so put him on the Halloween Town side. You can do this right after Aladdin's world.
You tell that Queen of Hearts off.
I was actually hopeing that the Queen of Hearts would turn into a heartless when I first played this game if only to make a bad joke lol.
"The Queen of Hearts is a Heartless Queen"..................... >.>^
Yeah.... maybe I should make jokes like that lol.

Lol that would have been cool. Would have been nice to slay her as such! Goofy failed me! He fainted and by the time I could heal him I got instapwned by one of the huge heartless and a fireball from one of those mage heartless.
One thing Traverse Town taught me is save often lol. Bosses I wipe out so far, the basic heartless destroy me -.-
Have you beat the FM edition before?

Well I played Vanilla KH and beat it over 10 times. Watched all of Final Mix videos is another reason why I know so much.
Just recently beat the HD version so no I haven't technically beaten the "original" FM edition.
Anyways I'm curious as to which mode you are playing on.
I''m going to assume Proud if you are having a lot of trouble.
Healing Goofy or Donald isn't always worth it, with potions especially. They auto recover especially with their eventual Second Wind ability.
The Fat Heart can be hit on the head. If you have guard you can block his charge and get a few whacks on him. Usually enough to kill him. If he throws his little tantrum after his health is reduced, you can jump and get a quick combo off to kill him. Or use Triangle to force your companions to attack the Fat Heartless.
Always give priority to the highest damage dealers is the best way to clear rooms of heartless. Mage heartless do petty amounts of damage compared to the physical hits a Fat Heartless gives you.
The basic heartless are usually the most dangerous because they come in groups and attack viciously, especially in Proud Mode. Its sometimes better to retreat than to see the continue screen by overstaying your welcome.
I remember this one time I got into the red zone and both my partners were knocked out so I high tailed out of the area and recovered.
DPtheGod
Member
I forgot about the triangle trick lol. Yeah I am playing on Proud
It gets kind of frustrating because it seems in some battles you can go from half of your health to dead from just one attack or combination of hits.
I have fled twice from some regular heartless lol. And I have fought my way to Lvl 15, so I am hoping I can destroy the boss!
In the tea party garden, how do you get the chests hiding above the bizarre room?

I want to say... Final Fantasy VI.
How about getting a Rare Truffle up to 99 hits and then whiffing #100?
Ah well, it's not that difficult to do in Neverland anyway.
Treasure Magnet will increase your chances of catching those drops, unless you're trying to fight it from afar.
Hm. Seems like more trouble than its worth. I've been farming like crazy recently, and for me the proven method is to use the two room away method. This is especially great in places like Agrabah, where the 2nd room away has Black Mushroom spawns for potential Mystery Goo drops. 2 birds with one stone.
And don't use Encounter Up for Rare Heartless. It doesn't work.
Nearing endgame soon.

Its better to come back for most of the chests after High Jump or Glide. Much easier and less effort required.
If you really want them though, you need to go through the different pathways each room has.
If I remember correctly an entrance on the side takes you to the top most area of the bizarre room but you'll have to explore to find out.

When that happens you should level up a few times or find better equipment so you'll die in three hits instead of two.

Soft reset is in most Square games from what I remember.
Doing my item farming. Black Ballades were not fun. After 2 goes they become ridiculous to track. Luckily it's not a real fight otherwise I'd have broken a controller. Currently getting my Serenity Powers, which is going... meh. Got one before I quit for the night. Ars Acanum works better for me. Ragnarok not even once... Will move onto Sniper Wilds after this.

Ragnarok is definately better. You need to time the last attack right so that you get most lasers.

Is there any reason to bother with Rare Truffles beyond Mystery Goo (which I find easier to get from White Mushrooms) and easy Tech Points? The Rank items don't do anything from what I remember, and they don't affect any Trophies, right?
It's such a shame you can't get Mystery Goo from the Rare Truffle in the Hercules Cup. It'd be so easy to just spam that one by selecting its seed after beating the Hercules Cup time trial...
