Chain of Memories Modify Marluxia(2) Fight

I have discovered something so wierd! I posted something here some time ago about my fight with Marluxia and his cards were higher valued (his cards were blue,y'know what that means). One posted and said it was a glitch, and I agree. So next time I played, I checked if he was still strong, and he still was!! That's when I checked and realized that the last room at the top right corner in Castle Oblivion (the one before entering the room where Namine and the others are waiting) was "Almighty Darkness"!!

So with this discovery, I experimented by using (take a guess) a Feeble Darkness map card on the same room, and suprisingly, he was SO weak! Hahahaha! I enjoyed breaking almost his every card! So I tried one more, Martial Waking, and it worked my cards were shining blue!

Okay, please try this out for yourselves, 'cause I don't know if this will work on another GBA/SP. I need to know if it was only a wierd glitch with MY KH:CoM, or. . . I don't know.

Here are my current stats just in case:
Level 90
HP:560
CP:1425
Moogle P.?:1384
Remaining exp. to level up?:22158

Please reply and tell me what happened.

 

Hm, it works... But seriously, the only difference now is that he can't use 0s, and he can use 9s now. I don't really see much of a challenge, you just made him easier since he can't really Break Sleights if you use them (although there are only a few Sleights worth using against him). The 9s are broad and it's not very like that he'll use them often. All his other cards are pretty much what you would get in a normal battle.

But to contribute to the weirdness, I'll just say that the Bracer effects will work on Stocked cards (for stuff like Ars Arcanum), even though they shouldn't affect Stocked cards for a Boss or Link battle.

It's cool, but it doesn't really seem like a big deal, and doesn't really make much of a difference.

 

hmmm....i never knew that. does it work on other bosses as well?

 

It shouldn't because all the other bosses have special rooms where the cards used up don't have any effect, and then the Key card. The reason this works on the final battle is because the room before Marluxia is connected to the last synthesized room in Castle Oblivion, so that's why the effect of a Map card works (the setting is locked though, so all the add-ons like Moment's Reprieve and Moogle Shops can't be modified in).

 

Well, it's seems harder for me 'cause he seems to use 9 on me so frequently for some reason (maybe he just hates me), especially using those three cherry blossom lasers; and he uses 0 cards so rarely on me (or so I think), and I use few sleights against him depending on the deck.

I wanted to try this with Ansem, but after reading that last post by Nol, I feel there's a microscopic chance it would work.

 

i will try this sometime. i wonder if it works on anyone else. but it SHOULD work on Ansem as well.

 

I don't know, 'cause you have to use a keycard to fight him. I am going to try it on Ansem anyway; on the room before the one you confront Ansem. (Could you imagine how much easier he would get if it works?!)
