Well,i was at lvl 90 and wasn't hard for me to pass it.So i think that if you want to get the cup easily,you should be at lvl 90.

Soradood · Sep 29, 2007

kitty_mckechnie · Sep 29, 2007

You should be over 85 lv and have Ultima Weapon. I use only peter pan, cause when you use his limits, you get so much those points. (i hope you understand)

In order to unlock the Paradox Hades Cup, you need to max out all the summons, all the drive forms, complete every world, and I think you need the Ultima Weapon.

I was already maxed out at level 99 when I did it, so yeah it was cake for me sadly D:

Here's part of a guide I wrote up to help with the Paradox Hades Cup. Hopefully it will help you. There are Spoilers in this so you have been warned!

Paradox Hades Cup
Jiminy Objective: Win with 15000 or more
This is the mother of all tournaments. You must complete all of the others before coming here. Make sure you come with hi-potions and/or elixirs. Also, put your team members hi-potion usage on high, rather than low, as you will want to get the most use out of the two before they are not with you anymore. I also put them on "Sora Attacks" so I could get more points but I'm not sure that it is necessary. Ultima Weapon is very helpful and the weapon of choice here. Also, try summoning when you can and using Whirli-Goof and do Reaction Commands when available. I set Goofy to auto-limit to save time, which is about the only time I've bothered using auto-limit. Another thing is that when the option to use Summons is available in any of the levels, summon Peter Pan or Stich. I used Peter Pan and by Level 30 I had nearly 13k points. It's about the only way I know of to get enough points to finish the Journal. You can do the Summons on 2 or 3 of the Levels for the battle so watch for it. Using Reaction Commands gives out more points as well and Combos are very important so don't use Fenrir as the dominant weapon or put on Negative Combo. Put all the Combo Pluses and Aerial combos on. Also, make sure to equip Finisher moves because without them you cannot get by certain boss battles unless you use a Limit.

Round 1-10
This is a lot like the Pain and Panic battles, and you can use limits. I used Goofy's because they seemed better at releasing more orbs and all. You don't get much here so combo as you can to gain double point mode. A neat trick you can do here is to use Magnega in some matches and while they are swirling around, if you get Goofy's 'Whirli-Goof' reaction, hit it and have fun beating on the foes as they are completely defenseless. Good fun.
Another thing to note here is that you can also use Summons, and you probably should try to use Peter Pan or Stitch early. I prefer Peter Pan and if you get used to flying him around with the Neverland option, you can get quite a few orbs. It's easier to get points early on than it is later in the Hades Cup here. Even using Peter Pan, i had gotten just under 17k. The requirement to defeat the Cup is 15k. I'd recommend for points early on to use Peter Pan through Levels 1-4.

Level 5: Volcanic Lord - This guy should not be too much trouble. He was seen at Agrabah along with the Blizzard Lord. You can use a Reaction Command on him called Firagun. It does not do much but does send him flying. Then just home in on him and do combos, watch for the spear he uses and go back in again. Gliding helps in this so you do not have to touch the ground. There are some Soldier Heartless wandering about but they are no threat and even the directions to the match tell you to just go for the Volcanic Lord. You can also use Whirli-Goof here against the foe.

Level 6,7,8,9: Use Peter Pan again for more points. Remember that if you have maxed your Summons and put in Summon Boost Ability you can sometimes get the Summons twice in a round, so if Peter or Stitch leave, just call them back. After, if they still remain somehow, pound on them with Whirli-Goof or Knock Smash.

Level 10: Tifa and Yuffie: Defeat Yuffie first so one, she stops talking and annoying you, and two, you can stop her distance attacks and teleporting. Tifa is a close range fighter so you should not have much trouble dealing with her in the end, but watch out for her Final Heaven attack, because it causes oodles of damage. You can use Final Form in this so go ahead. There are no points gained from any of the Boss Fights so don't worry about them here.

Round 11-20
This is a lot like the Titan Cup rules and you are given 500 points to use in order to pass this segment. Make sure to keep track of these damage points because once they hit 0, you lose. You can still do Limits but also have Summons. In this section of the Tournament you REALLY want to use Peter Pan or Stitch and rack up as many points as possible. Remember to re-summon the Summon if you want to make more points and resist the temptation of just beating things here because this is where the most points will come from. There are no Drive Forms in this.
Round 15: This has the Blizzard Lord in it. He's the compatriot to the Volcanic Lord you fought earlier. You can do a Reaction Command called Blizzagun on him, or use Limits to defeat him. A neat trick I found was to go in and combo him, drop to the ground immediately, and then he swings his staff. I then hopped up and combo'd him again 3 times and offed him that way and never took a wound.
Rounds 16-19: Use the Summons again all you can. Same thing as before. If things get hard, fly around and use Magic to cure yourself rather than wasting potions of any sort. The battles are not timed so you can do things you need to. This is a good strategy to use throughout the Tournament where the battles aren't timed.
Pete: The key to beating Pete is taking your time really. He lobs out bowling ball explosives, so you'll want to glide to avoid these and just move around. When he puts a shield on himself and says "Look kids! Pete's Invincible!" move in/glide and wait for it to drop. Immediately after, combo on him or do Trinity and then fly off again. Keep doing this and you will pretty much take no damage at all in the fight, if you stay airborne and away from the bowling ball explosives. Pete also does have a jump that sends sonic waves out and the balls will follow you around the arena. At certain points if you go after him he will suddenly toss out smaller orbs that will explode at you. Keep in mind that you have only the remaining of the 500 points you started these 10 rounds with, so even if at full health, bad things can happen.

Round 21-24: There are no Drives in this but Limits consume less MP than usual. There are also no Summons. This is a big clue to go ahead and use Limits till the cows come home. When they do get there, keep going on. Whirli-Goof is the best and refreshes the fastest so that you can nearly use it one time after another. Also Knocksmash. These matches have the rules of the Pain and Panic Cup. Another thing is to fly around and heal yourself if things get too ugly and don't forget your team members, especially if you put them on customized "Sora Attack", because they will fall. The best thing of having them there is they can heal you in tricky spots, but sometimes you may need to do a Curaga on them too.

Round 25
Cloud and Tifa: Both of these two are close range fighters, but Cloud darts across the screen often with his little cute battle cry. Whirli-Goof is pretty helpful in taking them down some HP and I'd recommend trying to take out Cloud first, only because he does dart around and get kind of annoying when you are beating on Tifa and he interrupts. Really you don't have to though. Using Whirli-Goof breaks both of them down nicely. Also, if things get ugly, use Trinity. Anytime you need to heal, pull away and fly around and do Curaga. Then go back in once your Limit refreshes and kick their bums.

Round 30
Hades (Normal)
You can use Limits in this battle if you want to, especially Goofy's. You can also get in and combo Hades after he does his fireballs. It's basically the former Hades match once again, so it's not that hard at all. Use glide to fly around away from him and keep an eye on him when he teleports. I had found that if I went in and Whirli-Goofed him, then immediately followed with a combo, wandered off a bit, Whirli-Goofed again and combo'd, he was very easy to take out. Limits disrupt things so it's very convenient.

31 to 39 - You can't use Summons in these matches, but you can use Forms. Final Form all the way! It gets the job done like no one's business. These battles mimic the ones of the Cerberus Cup and the battles are Timed, so you will want to be fast. You don't really have to worry about the time limit too much though. I've been through it and flown around waiting for MP to restore and never ran out of time.

Round 35 - This is best to use Final Form or even Valor works as I had discovered when accidentally pushing the wrong button. Go me! There are a ton of Rapid Thrusters and you need to destroy them all. For some reason, Magnega did not do the job nearly as well as just going in and fighting with Final Form so I would not bother, since it is timed.

Level 39 - The battles before this showed more of the Nobodies and harder foes. Level 39 has the ones with the "Learn" Reaction Command so if you want to clear them easy, use it. It goes by very fast then, in Form or not.

Round 40
Leon and Cloud
For this battle, go straight for Leon. He fires projectiles at you that can hit at long range and can make life difficult. Use Final Form on them and zero in moving constantly, since both are more suited for close range combat. If you find them too hard to take care of, try using Trinity on Leon first and then fly around, restore your MP gauge and go at Cloud. Also remember to use Curaga at a distance. Cloud can FLY in this so watch out for him if he starts doing so. When he does, use Trinity on him.

Rounds 41-48
In these rounds, even though they are Heartless and Nobodies, they are the toughest ones around. You cannot change forms now and are also on your own. Your only Limit is Trinity now and you will want to use it a lot. Magnega will not work often to aid you so don't bother relying on it at this point. The best strategy literally is to fly around avoiding them and use Trinity. Then immediately fly in the air again and keep away from them and use Trinity again until you can break down numbers. Do the same with Curaga if you need to. The enemies in this will follow you and some are pretty fast so you'll want to circle the edges of the arena and keep moving. Even then some caught me. Once you break down the numbers, they aren't such a big deal. At Round 48 or 47 there are some annoying trumpeter Heartless that will sit there and HEAL the enemies as you go to destroy them. Take out most of them but leave one if you can. After you finish with Trinity or however you take the other Heartless down, go over to the last one and wait or the Reaction Command 'Heal Stomp' and stomp on it 3 times. It will heal you and give you some extra orbs. If you have the time and patience, you can do that with all the trumpeter ones for extra orbs.

Round 49: Tifa, Cloud, Leon and Yuffie.
The four of them together seems really daunting but if you keep moving and use Trinity, you can win. First person I'd go for is Yuffie for her long range attacks. Getting them out of the way is a great thing to do. After that go for Cloud or Leon, since Leon again projects things at you, and this time Cloud can fly so he's a bigger pest than before. Lastly, move in and demolish Tifa but watch out for her Final Heaven. All of the last 9 battles pretty well require you to use Trinity and then move around and let your MP restore. Make sure you have both MP Rages equipped!

Level 50: Hades (Paradox)
Hercules joins in for this battle and is there to help you against Hades. When Hades is red, he cannot be harmed. The only way to get around that is to use Hercules's Aura Orbs at Hades. One or two good hits with them and you can go in and combo at him. Avoid his firewall as it causes a lot of damage and he will also put fire down on the ground you need to avoid. Gliding is the best option when he's in the mood for that, or just hop around. He's not too difficult with you and Herc beating on him.

After all that work, you get the Hades Cup Trophy and get to watch a small film clip of Hades getting the hoof, literally. You also have completed one of the most difficult tasks of the Journal requirements. It's time to party. Hopefully with this guide it helped you to get the points you actually needed. The Cup is not so hard once you are leveled up and have done it once or twice. The acquiring the 15,000 points is a pain in the doopa though.

I may just if the moderators would allow it, post the whole work I did on the Jiminy Journals and if they could allow it to be -sticky- it may help people out with a lot of these sorts of questions. So if any Mod would help me out and people would like it, let me know.
