Kingdom Hearts II EXACT requirements to fight the ES?

Nobody laugh, but I'm playing on Standard Mode cuz I'm a wussy-***** like that. That aside, does anybody know what exactly the requirements are to be able to fight him, in Standard Mode? Because I can't.

For the record, I've beat the game, have beat the Absent Silhouette fights, have beat neither the Org XIII mushrooms nor the Org XIII refights, & I'm at level 64 or so.

:(

I believe you can fight the ES in all difficulty modes (with MAYBE only beginner mode as an exception)--as beating the ES is listed as a requirement for the Secret Ending for all modes.

And I believe the only requirement for fighting the ES is to the beat the game. You get a 'New Episode added' to Disney Castle after saving your game after the ending credits.

 

I think you need to do the Mushrooms and silhouettes first. :/

I'm not entirely sure on that one, however.

 

...

 

Yeah, I don't think so.

I've seen videos of people fighting the ES with Sora not wearing any Crown, meaning Data fights and XIII Mushroom challenge are both incomplete.

 

You need to complete the requirements for seeing the old secret ending first, once you see it, the episode is added.

 

Ah, poo. That's what I get for playing on standard, I guess. Thanks.

 

Aw c'mon I fought him on beginner the first time then on Critical.....I got the original secret ending just by beating all worlds no mushrooms, no re-fights, beat the CoM fights so I don't know the problem but I did it like that originally

 

I'm playing on proud mode and have done all worlds cept: Holloween town,Agrabah,Pride lands and i need to finish the last song to atlantica....will he APear after all that? remember i'm on Proud mode.

 

I'm playing Kingdom hearts series for the first time . What should we did in order to get the old secret ending ? For fighting ES , does we need to complete RE:COM ?

 

Old Secret Ending - Pretty sure it's just 'completing all worlds'. So that inludes 100 acre wood and Atlantica.

ES - Beat the game (after completing all worlds)

To complete Re:CoM? I kinda only beat it to get the extras for FM+. I haven't replayed it for the extas for beating FM+. *doesn't know* XD
