Hey Nick! I finished CoM last night and am now gearing up to finish up everything that needs to be done lol I return to you for your wisdom and guidance 🖖
I’m just now playing through the Riku side of this game, so this video came up on my home page at great timing. Thanks for the video dude love the content
i found out about the lexeus strategy while playing as sora since i pretty much didn't want to go for any strategy of my own and found out quickly about the ridiculous airspin, what i didn't know is what rooms to do to get the most exp, this video does help a lot with this.
I’ve been using rooms with more Heartless. That’ll increase my chances of leveling up. I haven’t completed the game yet. No escapes, no continue. I save every round trip of rooms because I have a Save Room ready to be safe. I’ve been leveling up in patterns of 10, 10, 5. I know it takes longer but it’ll be worth it in the end. Also, I love your tree puns and Angry Birds reference.
@nickmcsleighten Oh, right. The cards. The cards for Riku and Sora, the cards chosen especially to aid Riku and Sora, Riku and Sora's Cards. Those Cards? Lol
Defeating Vexen was a test of my patience for poorly designed mechanics. Defeating Ansem was testing my patience on poorly designed bossfights (and hitboxes). Powerleveling Riku to 99, the last "achievement" I have to do, is a test for my sanity. Its just so... goddamn.... tedious... its literally spamming triangle, getting dark mode, spamming more triangle (if you have a mickey card), or jump attack spam. Ive had some grinds on nes, snes, and playstation games. but dear god this just melts the brain
I saw a video that was very interesting where they counted the exp per hour for every keyblade, map card, and wether its better on castle oblivion or destiny island but i doubt all of that aplies to riku have never beaten the first 3 worls as sora 😂
I think I know that one, it was probably Derikuf’s Sora Level Guide, but unfortunately, it doesn’t really apply to Riku because Riku doesn’t have any good sleights for grinding 😅 unlike Sora who can just Mega Flare everything in his path
Had to look this up. Been using strategy 1 on my own and it's been almost 6 hours and I'm only lv74/555k exp and feel like I'm doing something wrong since I still have soo much xp to go. Will try strat 2 and hope it takes less than another 6 hours
@@number1dstapp go back a few floors to level up, Dark Mode is super helpful at low levels and if you’ve already beaten Lexaeus you can use his card + jumping and attacking to possibly instant kill enemies
Thanks to your help i was able to quickly grind up to lv. 42 and get into castle oblivion take a strait shot to Ansem and take him down, loved the ending and thank you once again, ill be starting 358/2 which i hear everyone loves.
@@nickmcsleighten First: IDK IT WAS A 3 HOUR MOVIE! Second: THAT WAS A SAD STORY AND I FEEL SO BAD FOR AXEL NOW! Third: i now have to play the next game i will not get any sleep!

@@nickwerner7983 nice!
@@nickmcsleighten I thought I was gonna die fighting Lexaeus but I defeated him first try with less than 25% Health left.
@@nickwerner7983 nice! He can be pretty tough cause he hits so hard, so congrats!!
Oh nice a video about the card one
Oh right, the card one, the card one with no other name, the one with the cards, that card one

@@xingor7940 Mickey: Yes, those cards!
Just need to finish the last two songs for ice cream bet The Island song is driving nuts I think I need a score in the 2000 to unlock the last song
back in the ps2 days i liked to level up lv99 all characters, now i dont believe i did that.
level up sora and riku to 99 just for achievment ;-;
oak-k, i believe you.... Just a pancake would be proud 😂😂😂
😂😂 well, call me a son of a birch, I’m glad
I'm thinking I'll do every thing else from 1.5+2.5 and then leave the level 99 thing for the last lol

@@michelvanderlinden8363 honestly, i couldn’t agree more
i personaly like the speedrun strat
Ah gotchya, that’s fair! I think they’re both viable depending on skill level

These are very long grinds, so hopefully the second method will speed up your remaining few levels
