Omg Jared is being consistent is a dream come true. It feels good seeing him making content without stress. Keep it coming man we will keep supporting you
It’s definitely surprising considering how the last couple of years he’d be consistent with videos and then all of a sudden he’ll disappear for about 6 months on end. I mean if it happens there’s nothing we can do about it. Just have to wait it out until he returns.
The last levelling method in TWTNW is also the best way to level up Final Form as well, knocking out two birds with one stone; just make sure you jump to world map before drive runs out
I would say that The twilight town dancer hallway is the safest and easiest. Since that is 9 spawns per load, with a safe point nearby and the loads are quick on PC and newer consoles.
I do use the World That Never Was strat, only I tackle the entire world and not just the castle, so that I can reap the EXP benefits and still have a reliable means of healing small portions of health in short bursts (the save points)
As a bit of a note about the Berserker's, they do NOT drop Serenity Crystals in Final Mix versions of the game. You can only obtain them through chests, Bulky Vendors, or creating them through Synthesis.
There's also a way to set the flags for the Vendors to always appear in each world/room they normally appear in. Absolutely priceless method considering how much of a pain these things are to farm even with the method.
Hey Jared, if you're concerned about teammates defending enemies before you can, you can change their AI in the Customize section of the pause menu, just set your party members to "Sora attack" and they will just stand there
I love that the PC release allows for classic KH tips & tricks videos like this!! You should def do one for drive form level grinding too, that's always tricky for newbies
After my many playthroughs of KH2 i must say, the best exp method i found is to use final form with gull wing and bond of flame and just spamming the shit out of firaga when ur at
If youre worried about party members killing enemies you can always go into Final and Master form so that they leave the party. I believe this will not mess the EXP boosting abilities but if i am wrong i apologize :)
@TheGamersJoint how do you mod kingdom hearts, one from 1.5+2.5 HD remix on steam deck? Because I’ve tried everything. LuaBackend, renaming the DBGHDLP.dll to dinput8.ddl editing the toml file and putting the two lua files one hit kill and instant level up in the kh1 script folder. But nothing happened.
I just turn off all the side characters move and change the strat to sora support ( or w.e it's called) then they don't attack and you get all the glory
its appalling that there are soo many people that actually believe they removed the propellers in pride lands, they didnt! they adjusted the respawn rates lmao
So there is slightly different ways you can level just as quick to save sometime. Follow the same areas but use final form fire for the nobodies. Your getting guaranteed exp but also final form EXP. You get to level 80's by the time you are done with final form leveling. This method you do have to exit the world to preserve drive form unless you have 8 drive.
Addendum to the third method in the video: Start at Proof of Existence (Small room with two boss doors) and make your way up to Ruin and Creation's Passage (Big room with crystal floors). In the middle room, Naught's Approach, you will find some Sorcerers and Dragoons, both which can be easily handled with Reflega. Get close to Sorcerer and Reflect its wall pattern. Then punish Dragoons' spawning attack the same way. Go up to RCP and step forward a little. Assassins will spawn. Magnega will yank them up, Thundaga should finish them off. As you approach the next platform, a Berserker will spawn. Get up close and use Reflega. Its claymore jumping to its hand will trigger Reflega's explosion and heavily damage the Berserker, or kill it outright. Same platform, several waves of 4 Creepers. Magnega to kill them. Depending on your magic stat, the strat here changes. At lower magic, cast one Magnega, which can combo into Finishing Leap. That will kill one wave and the next wave will get pulled in by the Magnega. Use another Magnega, Finishing Leap, repeat until all waves are dead. *DO NOT CONTINUE IN THIS ROOM!* Go all the way back to Proof of Existence, then back one more way to Hall of Empty Melodies. Two waves of nobodies here. First wave is 4 Assassins. Same as before, Magnega them immediately to scoop them up, then Thundaga. Low levels might not kill, but shouldn't be hard to finish them off. At slightly higher levels, this will kill and the lingering Magnega will auto-scoop the Snipers that spawn after. Just Thundaga them, or melee them if you need the extra MP. Then go back to RCP and do it again. The brunt of the exp gain comes from the Creepers because of how many spawn and how quickly they can be killed. At higher levels, chaining two Magnegas together (with Finishing Plus) can wipe out nearly all the waves by themselves. just doublecast and watch things spawn and die. Have to go down to Hall of Empty Melodies in order to make RCP enemies spawn, but if you don't go any further than Hall, none of the Sorcerers or Dragoons reappear in Naught's Approach. Naturally, this means you won't be getting Sorcerer drops, though. If you REALLY want to add those to the route, just go one floor further down to Naught's Skyway, then go right back. Moving down that one room will make the Naught's Approach enemies respawn.
Actually, the Pride Rock method has NOT been removed in FM. The Rapid Thrusters doesn’t spawn every time, but they do spawn if you go back and forth between the summit and the interior. It is, however, far less consistent.
I personally go to Port Royal and go back and forth between Port Royal and Ship Graveyard. I mostly use this method for form grinding as the trip usually spawns either Nobodies or Heartless. If the Heartless spawn use either Wisdom or Master form as the former levels up by defeating Heartless and the latter levels up by getting Drive Orbs which are dropped by the Heartless in this fight. If Nobodies spawn use any other form as Valor levels up by how many hits you can get while in the form, Limit levels up by how many limit finishers you do in the form, and Final levels up by defeating Nobodies. If you have time left over you can fight the enemies in the first room of either Port Royal or the Ship Graveyard but make sure to get back on the boat BEFORE the form ends, as that will refill your Drive Gauge. On the Ship Graveyard side the first room with either spawn Heartless or Nobodies, if the form you arrive in is good for leveling up via whatever spawns in fight them for a little extra if you have time, if not get back to the boat and go back having the Drive Gauge refilled allowing you to transform into whichever will be most helpful, the second room will be the same, however if the Heartless spawn in this room they drop Drive Orbs, while only 1 enemy in the first room does. On the Port Royal town side only Heartless Spawn, making it good for grinding every form except Final, the "Town" room of the Port Royal side has several Heartless that drop Drive Orbs, while the first room has none.
No matter what the farm spot is, use Final form and Fire. It's the easiest and fastest way to kill enemies. Go into Final form Get your hp to half Do the run. Know that if you go back to the world map form a safe point while a drive form is active, it gives you back all your drive gauges when going back to a world. So you can use final form infinitely by doing so.
I used to do the twilight town run backwards starting at the lab ending at Namine's room. Given the fast travel save points, they're good for resetting the world. The 3 gamblers in the dining room are good for grinding master form using drive converter. Need money? Use jackpot and draw. TWTNW backwards from the top down to the city can result in different spawns. Same with TT. I believe it's 4 dragoons that come down the steps if you start in the lab as opposed to starting in Namine's room.
For the tower you don’t need magnet. All the enemies are close enough together that you can either hit all of them with thunder, or hit all of them with reflect. The only exception being a single gambler which is not an issue.
I would like to add upon the final method, if you don't mind! I found that you can simultaneously level up final form while doing the world that never was route. If you do this, you can ignore the party issues, because they will be gone. The route starts at the room before the Xigbar fight, and ends in the Saix/Luxord room. You walk in, final form, get hit by a sniper shot to be lowered to proper health, spam thunder or your favorite magic. Final form magic makes light work of the nobodies. Continue through each room upwards, making your way back to the room before Xigbar's room to abuse the world map to keep your drive meter. (If you are in a form when you enter the world map, upon re-entry you will have full drive again.) From here, you go until final form can last until the other save point, where you warp back to the start and go again. Just get hit to set up, and mash magic. Nobodies drop magic bubbles to replenish for you. Keep a couple ethers on you to be safe, and you'll go from 50-99 in about 45 minutes to an hour. A little more setup, but you max out final form while doing it, which gets you glide lv3 faster, and it does the route more efficiently once you get started, completing the 99 task very quickly.
why is this relevant if u beat the game around like 50 ish levels hahah ? the data fights are agrueably as hard on lvl 50 as 99 so whats the point to get to lvl 99 ???
im sorry but thinking lvl 99 will save u against the data fights is actual BS hahah ur gonna get combod and one shotted either way what max hp isnt enough on critical espcially not with their fuckinf dmg lol ur gonna have to fight it out reasonably or ur gonna spam cure and hope for the best xD
@@gilverkest1985because it’s better to be at Level 99 then Level 50 or Level 1 against the Data Fights due to stats and what not It’s true if you don’t know how to fight them you will of course die but it’s better to fight the Data Org and Terra at your highest level then at Level 50 or below
@@Icarus975 fair asnwer but im the guy that plays on lvl 1 so im just trying to imply this is kinda overkill or useless it doesnt matter what u say mate xD kingdom hearts is designed to be won without exp soooo all im saying issss its just a grind for lil in return u either strap up and fihgt back or get ur ass given and ur not worth it. those levels wont do u good if ur on proud mode anyways... all u need is withstand combo which i dont have since i play on lvl 1 :3 but u are still right. its just for those who will realise that even at lvl 99 it wont feel like ur levels hold up long that hp bar gets deleted either way. so dont expect lvl99 to do much

you can set your party members to "Sora attack" to have them do nothing so they won't steal your kills
You weren't kidding when you said other guides were on the way haha that was fast ♥
Or be a gigachad and stay at level 1 so you don't need to grind xp. 😎

I always use the Yen Sid tower method for leveling up Final Form is perfect there

It doesn't mess with exp boosting. Also level up final form in the process.
Orrr just put them in "sora attack" mode
I need a place to grind before Agrabah and Halloween Town 2nd visit!!
This is such a nostalgia trip, been a fan of you since the OG 1.5 lvl up guides
I remember when he only had 30k subs
And to make things faster grinding when battling, just go Final Form, go half HP, and spam Firaga to shred those nobodies (except sorcerers)
I simply go through Yen Sid's tower with Final Form. Thundaga and Reflectga all the way.
One of my major complaints with 3 is that there's very few area changes which means very easily losing a lot of progress

The propeller heartless thing is absolutely NOT removed in KH2FM btw. i was literally doing it the other day.
its appalling that there are soo many people that actually believe they removed the propellers in pride lands, they didnt! they adjusted the respawn rates lmao
Better way is to go final
Form with gull wing get hit until
Half hp then fly through the run obliterating everything way faster
thanls for these guides jared
You can make your party members not attack in the customized menu.
What about the area right before data bosses? i think its better
Curaga on triangle? How could you

Okay, this is nostalgic
Before i watch this. Id just like to say thank you for the trinity level up in the final world in KH1.5. That is such a good money/exp farm!
Gross cure on triangle
Leveling up is my only way to defeat Sephiroth
Gotta get that juicy early level ups for Crit.
Also Cure goes on Triangle
