Guide by KHMasterPK

~*~Cavern Of Remembrance~*~

Have High-Jump Lv. 3, Aerial Dodge Lv. 3, Quick Run Lv. 3, Dodge Roll Lv. 3, and Glide Lv. 3, but also be around Lv. 90-99 before attempting this

When you get in just follow the pillars by going to the left if you keep jumping you can get out of the first room without trouble.....In the second room use Quick Run to get over the gap and then starts your fight real fight...Most are still weak to melee some are immune to it just learn the patterns bit by bit until you win...After that go to the left path and you have to attack the 3 gauges until they are all working at once (Time matters for they slow down after a while) then go back to the other room and go forward for now you can continue.....Just find the door and plot out your way for this is the only room that needs thinking.....Get the whirlwind above the door and use it to get onto the pillar near it.....When that gets to the top jump to the horizontal pillar and then continue for you should see the door right across the room.....The next room I think you need to use Glide to get past where you then enter another fight...Beat it and continue...This next room just avoid the enemies and keep moving to the exit.....Run straight past the enemies and make a left down to go down where you then will need to avoid the enemies again.....Jump up until you are near the wall where the door should be right across the hall.....Most of the places should seem easy until you are near the Castle Oblivion area.....When a wall is blocking your way to the door jump of the side to the right of the wall and follow it with Glide getting a couple crowns and your way in.....This is the only bad part since it involves tons and tons of fighting.....Stay defensive and attack at opportune moments only or you can die quickly.....You will fight Berserker, Samurai, Dusk, Assassin, Sorcerer, Dragoon, and a few other Nobodies but note there are about 3 or 4 battle areas so make sure you're ready.....After that...Welcome to the Data Fights.....Not all are unlocked though.....Beat Xemnas (Final Boss) and wait for the Credits and the Battle Report to end for then you can save and continue your game where all XIII are unlocked to fight

~*~Data Fights~*~

Xemnas 1st Fight: He has two fights which makes him the longest...At the first fight it should resemble the one during story play where you fight alone...Best methods are to just fight him with guard to block the attacks then counter them...Or if they are short attacks to use Reflect on him to cause some damage then get a combo in.....When he is low on HP he will do his spell where you have to be at the building to face off against him...Instead of just pressing Triangle when you are on the wall of the building just wait a second until you see the third option...Choosing it will attack him sending him straight to 1 HP and we will be out until he loses

Xemnas 2nd Fight: This can be a little tougher...Even though you fight with Riku he is strong.....When he says "Be gone" shooting the orbs get near him and use reflect when he is about to shoot them out...You can do this about 3 or more times before he stops...After Reflect you might be able to get out a combo on him...When he shoots the lasers do not try to dodge by gliding or anything just hit guard and keep blocking until he is finished completely to take minimal damage.....When he says "Can you spare a heart?" use Reflect right before he finishes speaking and his attack will fail saving you the trouble of his life drain which drains about 2 to 3 times as fast if you get stuck in it just use Riku and go quickly for there is no time to waste for the higher Sora's HP the faster it drains and his clone attacks faster and with the orbs sending you back a couple seconds...After freeing Sora or avoiding it he will go back to either saying "Be gone" for a couple times or shoot the lasers which you just need to follow the ways of guard...If he throws you into the air just keep hitting the Triangle to dodge as much as possible to avoid damage when he finishes just keep an eye on him if he shoots out the vine/thorns or whatever you want to call them hit Triangle and get near him to cause some damage...If you keep following his patterns and these ways to avoid trouble you should do fine

Xigbar: He can be tough even with teammates since he shoots faster and is more likely to shoot in combos of 3 to 4 times where if you get hit once then you are in for a couple more combo hits...If you use guard to block the shots it might cause to be paralyzed for a time amount of time where you can get a combo in...When he changes the room around just follow its nature and attack him after guarding the lasers...Remember to wait until he is paralyzed from them...He will no longer need to reload getting rid of that combo attack so that can be troublesome...When he shoots all around saying "Let's see how ya dance" just jump and glide in a clock-wise fashion to avoid the lasers...There isn't much to say on a guide since his combos repeat and always involve firing his guns...Although when he goes into sniper mode dodge the shots and press Triangle quickly multiple times to avoid him hitting you quickly...You want to be able to avoid using combinations since you may need to heal often if you get caught in a combo...Just note that he can be easier than you think once you know his tactics of attack

Xaldin: Another team fight against Xaldin where he is even more dangerous...If he shoots a wind orb at you either guard if you are on the ground or use the Aerial Dodge (Master Form) if you can...The best method to get damage in is wait for his attack and press Triangle to get the "Jump" power a certain amount of time...Best thing is to wait for 9 times (Highest) to attack him a lot and get in some good damage about 2-3 bars worth...When he powers up just keep doing the plan of Triangle when he attack to get "Jump" powers but remember you can't attack unless it is the Jump one...When he does his combo to get ready to leave the stage then shoot a giant gust of wind that is hard to dodge go to the corner where the gate is on the far right side of the field (Bottom corner) use Quick Run to avoid damage when the gust comes close to you...When he comes back just keep following his methods and use the Jump power wisely to actually hit and cause damage to him to end the battle quickly

Vexen: One I had trouble with...Although when he attacks with the Data Circle just go into Wisdom/Master/Final and get close (Or far is Wisdom) and attack until he loses his shield...After that use Fire really often for it is the best thing that can cause up to 2 bars or more of damage with 1 Fire attack.....You can beat him in about 2 minutes or less this way if your Magic is high enough...When he gets the Anti-Clone out just try to avoid him or attack him while attacking Vexen...Getting rid of him quick will cause in Vexen to call him back quickly...When Vexen charges up and has the 4 ice orbs around him just try your best to avoid them and do not attack him at all for this can cause a lot of damage to you...When he is done he will try and freeze you use Quick Run (In Wisdom or Normal) to avoid being frozen and then go back to the main method of attack and Fire

Lexaeus: With him charging his power up to a Max of 99999 he can be trouble.....When he starts off just try cause as much damage as you can while avoiding his attacks to cause more damage to him than you if you get the chance of the reaction command for blocking him use it to get in about 2 combos...If he charges up power most of his attacks will change stronger and will send out more/bigger boulders...If he leaves the stage be careful and just guard his first attack then jump and use Aerial Dodge then Glide to avoid the boulders coming up that can cause a lot of damage...If he spins or charges at you stay out of the way of him for he will grab and throw you around resulting in hefty damage.....I recommend using Limits on him to actually cause damage later on or else it can get very bad for you

Zexion: The fight should seem easier in some ways.....When the match starts attack Zexion quickly and you should get about 2 or 3 combos in...When he tries to turn you into the book and change the area you can't avoid that at all.....In the book area just find Zexion and attack quickly to get him out with minimal damage then go back to get maybe 2 or 3 combos again but make sure Donald and Goofy are alive to get those extra combos.....When he sends out bursts of energy hitting you in the air just let them hit you should go to the ground and have a couple seconds to find him when you do attack as much as you can before the energy gets you.....When you get stuck in the book press Triangle when it says to...When he changes you menu into a book press Circle only on the highlighted commands until you break free.....When you play the 3 Circles game just pick a circle and stay if it is the wrong one just jump and glide to avoid most to all the fireballs...If you are in the right circle just attack as much as possible until you can break him out of the book...He will only repeat these patterns over and over...Only thing that changes is the attacks of the books so keep an eye on those

Saix: This fight should be very easier...When the match starts just attack him for 2 combos (About) then when he attacks guard or run after him then get about another 2 combos in on him...When he goes berserk wait for his attack where he throws the claymore at you after hitting four energy circles then attack him with the reaction command...After that when he says "I misjudged you..." guard his attack and he will lose his claymore...Get 1 combo in on him and grab it then use the reaction command just like you did to get him out of berserk and you will be causing a good amount of damage...When he goes berserk again and says "All shall be lost to you!" and does his longest attack just jump and glide away from him...When he is done and at the ground use thunder to stop his charge quickly.....If it works he should attack you again hopefully with the four energy circles which you can use to get him out of berserk quickly and get in hopefully the finishing combos.....Although after his second berserk and you get him out of it use Donald's Comet, or Flare Force limit to get a nice amount of damage and stop him from going berserk for a while

Axel: He can be really tough...The ground and air can hurt you second by second and so can Axel...Guard and attack until he jumps into the fire...When he comes out use the Reaction command and send him into the air where you can then get use the other reaction commands to get rid of the ground and air damage for a little bit where you can get about 2 or 3 combos on...I recommend being a high level and have at least 8 Drive Bars so you use can use Limit Form to heal if you run out of MP and need it.....When he says "Get back!" just Dodge Roll from his attack to avoid damage.....When he says "You won't forget this!" just jump and glide from most of him attacks and Dodge Roll the rest...Hopefully after that it should give you an attack opening where he will then go back into the fire so you can do the reaction commands again you should then be able to win

Demyx: The major trouble...I recommend using Fenrir, and the Minus combo so your finishing attack is your combo.....When he uses the Water Clones at the start stay normal until he calls 50 or more...Then go into Wisdom form and use Fire conservatively so you have enough later...When he says "Uh-oh..." and is paralyzed attack him for a double finishing combo and hopefully he won't attack soon after...Just fight him like normal Demyx for that is all he still is but with more HP and clones...When he is down to really low HP he'll do the water clones again.....Just do the same plan with normal form and Wisdom...When he gets to 99 make sure you have a good amount of MP for you will need it...If you keep using Fire you can win but if you have doubts then use Final Form if you have it at Level 7.....After you beat the Water Clones again you should win from one finishing attack

Luxord: he is basically just the same.....Avoid his starting card games unless you are sure of yourself for it is about twice as fast.....Just keep attacking him and it should be really easy to win until he says "Look who's on top of the game" then just dodge his attacks...When he pulls the big card game focus and take your time...For the circle and X's go quickly and if you fail it you lose about half your time and he gets it...If you win you get all of his time and he is one combo from losing to you for he failed at his own game

Marluxia: Be around level 99 so you have the best chances...He will use the black portals and vine explosives more often than normal attacks.....Just try to catch him off guard and attack at all opportune moments and it should be a quick and painless fight (Since most of his attack do no damage anyway) When he turns into a saw just guard from him and when he finishes attack him quickly for another combo.....When he gets behind you and follows you just jump and glide in a circle to avoid the pillars and most of the scythe...You should be able to get another combo from that...To speed up the match just use one of Donald's limits for a good amount of damage

Larxene: She is a pain with her speed and attacks...Just attack her with Limits and/or drives to make the battle quick.....Avoid her attacks for her combos are deadly and fast.....Again just use Limits and drives so she can lose quickly otherwise the match can last a very long time and you will most likely lose if you do not focus on her patterns of offensive and defensive attacks

Roxas: Probably the only fight which is the same as the Story one.....Just fight him like you do Story Roxas.....When he starts hitting his own combo before his final strike which slashes into you use guard and it will paralyze him for about one full combo.....Dodge Roll, Glide, and Aerial Dodge are a must...He is the strong against magic though so rely on strength

~*~Mushrooms~*~

I: Just use Wisdom, get behind him using the Reversal reaction and hopefully you'll win within a couple tries since Reversals needed to get behind him change often

II: Just use guard or Reflect and deflect its attacks and it'll be easy with practice

III: Have BOTH of Sora's Draw abilities on, Equip him with Follow The Wind (Beat Port Royal) and also equip him with the Draw Ring (Hundred Acre Wood) that way you can get a lot of them...Glide and Quick Run are a must

IV: Use Final Form and Thunder or Wisdom Form and Shoot/Thunder for a quick fight

V: Use a lot of normal combos but have high strength and have explosion to cause a lot of damage.....Use any drive form (Except Wisdom) to make it really quick

VI: Use drives and thunder or normal attack but equip yourself with ethers so you can stay on top of the game...I beat it in about 34 seconds with Final, Thunder, and a couple ethers...Or was it Master...Anyway use Master or Final to make it quick

VII: Wisdom Form and Shoot, or Final Form and Fire/Blizzard/Thunder

VIII: Use Berserk Charge and wait for your MP to be about half way back to being recovered.....Toss it up attack it once then just use the Horizontal Slash again and again...When it goes into the air attack it with Circle once then just Square over and over.....When your MP recovers it should be at about the mid-high 60's or low-to mid 70's.....Have Donald's Comet limit on Auto and use it to keep it in the air longer so it can't hit the ground.....I got to 99 then it stopped letting me hit it this way so follow that method

IX: I use Normal Form, Rumbling Rose, and Minus combo.....Did the Slide Dash, whatever the attack is that goes through the enemies then Explosion and repeated till I won so try that.....If it doesn't work...Use plan B Final Form if that fails.....Plan C Master Form...That fails just use Wisdom or any other tactic you know of

X: Just keep a sharp eye on who is who and attack it.....Use Fenrir and Minus Combo so you can damage it a lot before the next round

XI: Use Wisdom Form, Fenrir, Minus Combo and go to town wildly attacking it

XII: Just use Wisdom and move in different directions and try to get their patterns memorized so you can get over 40 in the minute you have

XIII: .....I thought it was going to be a fight but instead go onto the circle that appears for beating all XII and press Triangle...XIII will come and give you Winners Proof and that's that

~*~The Enigmatic Soldier~*~

The toughest match around.....Have VERY high defense and offensive if you wish to live.....

When he does his version of Rising Sun just use guard or glide to his left side
When he gets on his Keyblade as some sort of motorcycle just guard from that to
When he stops all physical attacks.....Beware for this can be the toughest time for you need to use Limit Form's abilities or guard his energy balls back at him.....
When he silences Magic based attacks and healing items.....Guard and attack from an opportune moment if you find one
When you find a huge moment of attack go into Final Form and attack wildly until he can recover then just avoid his attacks until the opportune moment returns...
When he goes berserk.....Stay of of his way...I suggest guarding from most of it for he is very hard to out run or glide as he follows you and can cause hefty damage beyond reason.....
When you get snagged and need to get out of the orb wait for the button to slow down and follow it or press wildly till you find it (Bad idea) for it'll cause you probably a lot of damage.....Or none if you are lucky (Like I was)

If you need to use one of Donald's Limits and then go wild with attacks until he recovers...That seems to have been one of the most popular methods around and has seriously proven useful.....Even though he has a lot of HP when he is hit from one combo all damage seems to increase 10 fold for now you cause actual damage instead of tiny pieces of about 1 HP

Heal Often, Guard Often, Protect Team Often, Drive Often, and Limit Often if you want to win.....You can try your luck (Like me) and use none of those (Except healing and guard) but it can prove to send a lot of pain your way.....For beating him you get your Drive Gauge upgraded to hopefully 9 and the crown.....

~*~Crowns and Upgrades~*~

Bronze Crown - One complete
Silver Crown - Two complete
Gold Crown - All three complete

The Ways
1. All XIII Data Fights complete
2. All Mushrooms defeated and weapon collected
3. Defeat the Knight

~*~Mushroom Weapons~*~

They very in power.....Some will be the white one with only +1 benefits...Some will be normal black ones with +3 benefits...Some are black with a new design having a +5 benefit.....Some are black with another different design giving a +7 benefit.....Then there are the rare ones which have a rare design that will give a +9 benefit which is the highest they get.....

The way of getting these depends on how good you do on the challenges...

If you lost but still have an OK amount you will get normally the white weak ones
If you lost but are close you get the weak black ones
If you win basically barely over you get the OK black ones
If you win and are beyond by a bit you get the strong black ones
If you win and get a score that is as high as you can get from one game.....You get the Rare Black Ones with the +9 benefits...

(Note: More will be added from those who request it)

 

For Mushroom no VIII, which keyblade is the best to be used against it ?

 

Fenrir for it has the longest reach and the Mushroom will jump away from you after about 55 hits

 

btw can tell me the materials needed to synthesise serenity crystal ? i need it to synthesis power boost for the knight.

 

That...I can't help with...I think it would be easier to get the material to just kill the nobodies in The World That Never Was

But for an easier way just fight Xemnas at the Org. XIII Re-Fights he gives power boosts

 

Thanks, Vexen is a lot easier now.

 

Xemnas takes years to beat. That's a very slugish way.

Roxas gives out Power Boosts, I believe. His data fight is a 4 minute fight if you're good.

 

Actually Darky Roxas gives Magic Boosts

Xemnas is the only one who gives Power Boosts...I fight him instead of getting materials because I hate searching for items

 

Ohh...xD

I could have sworn someone else gave them out too. Like Saix or Vexen or something...

Oh wellz.

 

au contraire, my fight with roxas last onli 2 mins, with roxas binning me out. alrite thanks darky, masterpk.

btw anibodi knows whether xiii members drop defense boost ?

 

Xemnas is easy.

I updated the F.A.Q. with a walk through on how to beat him & his moves.

I will add more members, the crown info (thanks PK ^_^), and this may be pushing it, but a walk through for Cavern of Remembrance.

Dodge Roll & Quick run aren't really needed at all, but makes things easier. (I'm sure you know that).

Edit: Xigbar will drop defense boosts for you. He is easy to, Final Form dominates him. Just keep re-fighting him for more.

Also, Zexion gives magic boosts too I think.

Xigbar - Defense
Xemnas - Power
Roxas - Magic
Zexion - Magic

Larxene, Vexen, Lexaeus, & Marluxia give you lost vision I think. I still don't know what that is, but I synthesized some weird earing that is a scythe (Guess its from Marly data, but if you use the last option you can get a plus version of it).

So CoM have items.

You mainly want Xemnas, Xigbar, & Zexion/Roxas.

I don't remember the others.

 

I'm pretty sure Saix gives out Defense Boosts too.

 

wow! i like this FAQ put it on gamefaqs man!!! for real. and see if u can get it stickyed! it helps!

 

Saix does give Magic Boosts he is who I always fight for them and I also think I remember that Xaldin gives Defense Boosts to...Axel gives lost vision...Demyx gives an AP Boost and so does Luxord...So the list goes like this

Xemnas: Power
Xigbar: Defense
Xaldin: Defense
Vexen: Lost Vision
Lexaeus: Lost Vision
Zexion: Lost Vision
Saix: Defense
Axel: Magic
Demyx: AP
Luxord: AP
Marluxia: Lost Vision
Larxene: Lost Vision
Roxas: Magic

3 defense, 3 magic, 1 power, and 6 Lost Vision givers.....

Thanks it took a while to put this up and is only because I got that far.....Mostly the Data Fights were easier to put down as for beating them again and again but the Soldier was the trouble since I've beaten him about 3 times now and know his attacks but not really patterns

I would want it stickied because some people overlook it and ask a question but didn't know about it.....Also glad you liked it

 

Thanks for the info about the Boosts :).

What's Lost Vision?

 

An item I think that is used to craft Org. XIII items

Little accessories like the one with Marluxia's scythe, there is one with Larxene's knifes, and like the one with Zexion's book

They good bonuses.....Larxene is the best for thunder defense, Axel for fire defense, Demyx for water, and I forgot who is for darkness

 

I cannot level up the Limit Form, how to do it? I just miss the Dodge Roll ability.

 

Use the Limits for it

The "Magic" area becomes "Limit" where you can do KH1 Abilities

Do it at the 1000 heartless spot (If you haven't beaten it yet) to get several levels on it

 

Bump! And...

I can say with 100% certanty that you have to hit mushroom VIII MORE than 80 times, either 85 or 90. Don't feel like finding out myself because I hate that bugger and I'm glad I finally beat him and I never want to see him again:)

 

I know it is 85 I tried 80 and he still gave normal stuff even at 84 normal stuff.....But at 99 he was to excited
