I just have to do crit run for all character now but after griding 25 hrs for each character and defeating MF and Pete (yes) three times I lost motivation lol
Getting Riku to lv99 is so hard because sora gets mega flare to clear rooms making leveling easier, while Riku doesn't. He has to manually defeat every heartless
Game boy advance riku can litteraly delete enemies from existence with the lexeas card it was honestly fun to grind not to 99 but to see enemies lifted into the heavens with you exp just dropping like rain was hilarious
if i remember right the speedrun tactic for leveling riku is to only kill specific enemies from castle oblivion encounters before running away. Killing every heartless just makes the long grind way longer and way tedious
To make matters even worse for the number 1 entry, it's also glitched, so you might go through all that and then not get the trophy anyway. People on psnprofiles seem to have narrowed it down to the fact that some of the chests might not trigger a check for having all chests opened, but nobody knows which ones they are, and so their best advice is to keep a handful of chests closed until the last bit, save, open them all, and if you dont get the trophy then load the game and open a different one last.
Risk Taker from the Remind DLC was also quite the chore. Mostly because I was worried that I wouldn't have enough points after finishing and have to start a completely new run.
I have beat every single Kh game 1-MoM with every single trophy, except risk taker and I can say it’s the hardest in the game. My save file got reset which means I’d have to beat the game again, get the ultima weapon, beat remind again and then finally starting risk taker again. I was on Davy jones on my risk taker run too. I was annoyed. It’s the only trophy I don’t have
@@rupeehyrulian5259 that does give you exactly enough points. But that alone is more stressful than the whole story with every code on and a few org fights with less codes on.
Grabbing the record keeper trophy in DDD was a trophy I didn’t understand a little, even while looking at guides to help me with. As I played more, I realized how you do them. In my honest opinion, it really isn’t that hard to do once you know what you gots to do. I even have the platinum trophy for the game on my PS4.
I was honestly all about the gummy ship stages in KH2 compared to KH1. I guess it was because I really enjoy rail shooters as well but the trophy had me going 'easy' when I saw it, especially with ship guides available 😆
Ventus is the rarest in BBS because there's a glitch involved with his achievement. There's one single sticker that the game tends to not record when you pick it up unless you pick it up AFTER every other collectable. Edit: The specific sticker is in the dwarves mine near the entrance. Very hard to miss.
@@superarcade643 Which system do you play on? It's almost exclusively a playstation problem. Edit: NVM you said platinum. Huh. Odd because I've experienced this everytime I've tried the game.
I remember the hell of gummi ships in KH 1.5 ps3. I achieved a platinum trophy when the game came out. I remember sitting and learning gummi ships was like an entirely new game in itself. You kinda get into it. I remember going for platinum when 2.5 released but stopped shy. This inspires me to go back and look at my old save
I just recently got the Record Keeper trophy last night, and I think what makes it so rare is that Dream Drop Distance requires a lot of planning and jumping around. The Special Portals alone require you to: 1) Check the forcast for the world to see if it has a Special Portal you have not completed. 2) Look in each area to see which portal is the Special one. 3) Beat some of the hardest Dream Eaters. 4) Drop and repeat for the other character. Not only that, I have heard this trophy is bugged for some players who may have done all of the requirements and either had to load a backup file or restart the entire game; which many people don't want to do after going through all that the game asks. As someone who has loved this franchise from the very beginning in 2002, and is currently Platinuming every one of the games ( 0.2, KH3, and MoM remaining) I can completely understand why not everyone can or wants to lol.
I know it's not a trophy (probably because of its sheer time grind lol) but I feel MoM's in-game achievement of getting 1 million rhythm points is probably a good contender for one of the rarest objectives. The maximum RP you can obtain from a single song is somewhere between 700-800, and the average is around 200-300. Said maximum is quite literally only possible by playing absolutely perfectly on performer mode on the right day of the week with the right items equipped. Definitely a niche one, but I've yet to see anyone obtain this feat in less than a two month period, so it's definitely up there with the grind-heavy trophies for me haha
I feel ya. I played the game for like 150hrs+, got all excellent in all songs at all difficulties, I freaking love it, but I managed to get only around 500k rhythm points after all this. I'm in no way going for 1mil...
Yeah, I'm a little over halfway there, and hit all other achievements besides like...100% full-chain and 100% full excellent bar, and uhhhh like 11 platinum character cards. Got all the PS4 trophies, which...confused me, because I must have beaten all those enemies pretty early on, then???? I was more focused on the collectibles.
You made the kh3 entry seem way harder then it actually is I got that trophy in one day technically less because by the time you get to the end of the game you will have enough materials to craft most of the stuff and everything else is stupid easy to get with a guide.
It's also note to mention how badly bugged the 100% Achievement is for DDD. I had to go through 2 playthroughs carefully to get it. Absolute bonkers imo.
yea i was worried about that to when going for the plat thankfully the 100% record trophy didn't bug out on me, but there was a trophy that did bug out on me I forget what the trophy was exactly but was related to either an item or a chest but I would open the last chest I needed for trophy and the trophy wouldn't pop no matter how many times I exit out of the game and reload save and open the chest It wouldn't pop so i ended up going to my standard mode save because i was playing on critical and i did the stuff required for the trophy again and it poped i still have no idea why square left bugged trophies in the game
@@Bluedude08 There was a few that are bugged and in order to fix them I had to delete the main user profile on my console and create a new user. The process is dumb but somehow works. I find DDD to be very tedious to Plat.
The expression "nerves of steel" defines all KH players! Just beat Melodies of Memory and most of the tracks I played on proud mode. Hopefully I'll get this achievement soon enough. Cheers KH fans, may your heart be your guiding key.
Its fair you would lump Days and coded like. That both games in both gameplay and story are tantamount to each other. Basically a version of finding out the truth of these chain of events.
Bro platinum rank 1 IS SO ANNOYING HOW ARE THEY ALLOWED TO HIDE THE HEARTLESS AND THE GUIDES it's so frustrating especially when getting a good instead of rainbow exelent can put you behind,
if you are musically inclined I don't think MoM 100% is too bad. PS wise, most of KH games plat percentage is around 1 or 2 I think, vs MoM is at 7 or 9% if I recall right
As someone who got the platinum trophy in KH, KH2, and KH BBS, the only one I haven't gotten in CoM is indeed the Riku Lvl 99 trophy. I spent 5 or 6 hours on it and barely went up 7 levels. I'll finish it some day, but it'll take several sittings.
My best tip for leveling Riku is to use the Lexaeus card on the thirteenth floor, with the optimal enemy layouts, (I unfortunately don't remember which rooms they are)
And yet despite all the KH grinding, farming and low health noise PTSD and sora pain nose spam I STILL WANT TO RERUN EM SOONER OR LATER, but this time on PC with couple mods that improve some aspects of the game and such (namely for 1 and 2)
I've actually plated every KH game and I have to say, this is properly scaled to the grind of each. I knew Re:Com and 3D were gonna score that high, those were both brutal grinds even if I think BBS took me the longest by having to do everything 3 times basically.
Riku's story isn't the thing that makes the grind in Chain of Memories to 99 for him tough. It's the fact that you can't get any stronger past level 50 or so.
That trophy was manageable for sora but damn was it dumb for riku. They could have at the very least just rebalanced the XP for the HD collections so that at least by time you hit the final area you end up being a fairly high level (70? 80?) So by time you finish last area you'll have some good levels and the last grind won't be too bad
This video compiled some nice data on which trophies people tend to obtain throughout their playthroughs! What makes it especially interesting is the fact that the trophies that take the longest amount of time don't correlate with this ranking at all. If one were to look at the speedruns foe the Platinum Trophies in the respective games, Enemy Buster in MoM would win by a mile as even when focusing on that trophy alone you'd sit there for ~8-10 hours. Record Keeper being the #1 Rarest achievement really took me by surprise as taking a look at the speedrun records shows that Dream Drop Distance is the second fastest game to get the Platinum Trophy on next to KH3. Then again DDD is also a less popular title so I imagine most people either dropped the game at some point or just didn't bother beyond the story.
Visual Novels: "Welcome to the read it all club!" :D Sakura Succubus: "Ooooh, you're a movie novel!" 358/2 Days: "Ugh, I can't believe we're in this f'king crowd." Re:Coded: "Wanna go burn down Square-Enix's offices? I know where they live." This is me.
you know its like the more kingdom hearts game comes out the more post game stuff we have to do i mean kingdom hearts re:chain of memory, 358?2 days, recoded 0.2 birth by sleep a fragmentary passage, and melody of memory didnt have that much post game stuff but kh 1 had stuff like the gummi ship missions, the super bosses, the trinity, 101 dalmation, the sythesize shop, and the cups in olympus coliseum, kh 2 have treasure, puzzle pieces, super bosses, olympus coliseum cups, the journal missions, doing all moogle mision which require you to get every single material, the mushroom 13, and maxing out all the drive form and summons, and synthesizing everything, birth by sleep have treasures, stickers, the mirage arena, getting all commands, and maxing out all d links, getting all movement commands and shocklock, beating all superbosses, and u have to do these as both terra aqua and ventus, and you have to beat the final episode and secret episode, kh ddd have secret portal, superbosses, special portal, getting all dream eater recipe and crafting all dream eater, beat all flick rush , and beat all dives, and you have to do these as both sora and riku, and kh 3 treasure, lucky emblem, gummi ship missions, taking pictures of all the consolation, do all moogle missions do secret portal maxing out all keyblades get a perfect score in all cooking with remy, and synthesize all items and beat the fremind dlc and limt cut these games keeps giving us more and more to do and it gets difficult each time
Most likely so. I got lots of time on my hAnds anyways haha. Even if there are grinding ones I just platinumed a game that took me 135 hours so bring it on lol. And I been wanting to get in this series anyways to see what's it about so can't wait 😊
I know the gummi missions can get tedious, but some of the most fun I've had in all Kingdom Hearts was the KH1 mission where you can't get hit or destroy anything. Guns are pointless, HP is pointless, and you want to minimize your hitbox, so the optimal ship is pretty much a big log made out of nothing but thrusters, a few special ability blocks, and the power of positive thinking. Trying to pilot that while having mundane asteroids rocks become game-ending threats is absolutely hysterical.
The Ven Achievement might be because of the Disney town segment. It requires you to have completed it with two characters already, before the 3rd character is able to be awarded the "Million Dream Award" cutscene, and since most people play as Ven first and and Aqua last, explains why her's is the highest of the 3. It technically takes 5 playthroughs to get all 3! 😂🤦♂️
For that KH3 achievement I had most of the materials already. And getting Ultima is something that is just pretty normal to do? Getting plat in that game and playing through the whole story took me around 60 hours so honestly pretty normal playtime
A correction for the birth by sleep note u said! Nothing is missable u can obtain everything after u defeat the main story boss or at any giving time and u don't need to follow a guide for it if u don't want too.
I have obtained every single achievement in the Kingdom Hearts series on both PS3 AND PS4 (with the exception of Melody of Memory because I wanted it on Switch). The amount of time stress and dedication required to Plat these games is ridiculous. But, on the plus side, it forced me to get really good at these games. Well, good or just stubbornly persistent.
I couldn't agree with you more. What baffles me is that, despite all the insanity you have to go through to get all the achievements, the overall completion rate is still relatively high. Currently tackling KH 2.5 and all I have left is another playthrough on critical difficutly. But after the mushrooms, the minigames, the synthesizing, data fights, etc, I'm just so tired of that game. I can't begin to imagine the struggle you've been through to get (almost) all the games done twice. Props to you!
I’ll be honest the gummy ship builder in KH3 is ESPECIALLY discouraging to use since the blueprints exceed the cost limit. Really makes me feel like nothing I could make would ever be better than what the game could already give me.
@@ancientx5101 oh you absolutely can, and the donut ship will always be a classic! But because blueprints like the golden highwind are allowed to exceed the cost limit, I feel discouraged since nothing I make will ever compare to it.
for 358/2 days, if the actual game had achievements it would be getting ultima weapon. it requires completing (aside from the tutorial missions) every single mission with some added difficulty (enemy lvl increased, super strict time limit, only attack X amount of times, dont get hit, etc)
Didnt even know top gun was rare lol. I love the kh2 gummi missions and always just make the basic unhittable ship which makes the achievement a cakewalk
Personally I was taken aback a bit when I heard how much exp Riku needs in kh: Recom. I've wondered though how much sanity it would take for someone to get Sora in Kh1 on Destiny Islands only, to get to level 99 as well. Same goes for Kh2 with Roxas in Twilight Town to level 99... Saw a stream once where this guy tried it and literally was losing his mind trying it. Furthest I've gotten when I was a kid with Roxas was to level 28 or so. Then I said f it. And yes that was over the course of months and months lol
As for Dream Drop Distance and the record keeper achievement. Its got a low completion rate as the game is not as popular as the other games in the series. Also it is as stated in this video a lot of grinding for things like mini games, synth items, dream eater levels and so on. Its not difficult just time consuming.
Tbh for the rank 8 achievement , which i dont have yet but am on my way to, the best way is hunting other achievements, like playing every song on every difficulty or getting the full chains. i do have EVERY OTHER ACHIEVEMENT of this list tho
Birth By Sleep is absolutely the hardest. No question. All of them have certain tedious trophies, but BBS will test the limits of your skill. KH3 DLC is also really difficult. I actually found Dream Drop to be pretty easy. It's more tedious than difficult. Ironically, the only KH game I haven't platinumed is Re:Chain of Memories and it isn't because of tedium or difficulty, it's because I don't like the card battle system.
Also, I ended up getting lv99 on Sora AND Riku in the GBA Chain of Memories... along with getting every possible card for both. I sure as hell wasn't doing that again.
I platinumed all the games and I do have to say that probably the worst (not the hardest) was getting Lv 99 with Riku in CoM... I finished his story around level 45-ish... so basically all I did was grinding for hours to get 50 Levels. Sora's side really isn't that bad since you got more Screen-wipes and you are generally a higher level after finishing the game, plus the overall grind for all cards gives you some exp too. As for hardest, either BBS since you have to beat the secret bosses 3 times and... especially with Terra they are a chore. Kh3 Reminds trophy with the Pro Codes is also a really tough one, but a good challenge in my opinion. At least not quite as Bs as the BBS secret bosses
No Heart with Terra was fucking brutal. Young Xehanort was obviously the worst designed fight but I think the fact No Heart had two phases and the fight itself was really long made failing it so much worse. You pretty much had no room for error, and he has that one explosion special attack that can just instantly kill you which forces you to deal with the awful camera the whole time.
3DS is one hell of a drug.. I still play it from time to time.. But.. I might have to climb the mountain.. Oh grief, what have I gotten myself into? Mind, I have actually completed it once on PS4, but yeah, I am skeptical. Might have to give it a shot..
Dream drop distance record keeper is a surprise to me. I got a platinum in kh1 2 3 and dream drop distance. Also decided to go the extra mile with 3 and got the risk taker trophy.
I think a big reason KH3 had such low % for its achievement was that the game sold MASSIVELY and then about 3/4 of the people who bought it abandoned the game after the first world.
Aside from the Melody of Memory trophies (since I haven't played the game) I'd have to say that I'm proud to have gotten every trophy on the list. Personal hardest might've been the Pro-Codes while most annoying was getting Riku to Level 99. I will say that having to do EVERYTHING three times for BBS was a pain, but I count that as more of a Platinum Requirement than its own trophy.
not gonna lie: KH3DS platinum was way easier than beating Mysterious Figure 3 times. Launched the game on Critical the first time I played it and never had a problem.
Another thing, the DDD one has an inside achievement not displayed on the trophies, inside the journal that is much harder because it requires you to grind your dream eaters levels. That was really painful
I got Plats for KH1 and 2 for PS3. Re:chain of memories for ps4 (was working on ps3 one, untill the ps4 one dropped with STACKED DIFFICULTY TROPHIES). DDD, KH3 and MOM as well for ps4. I got all trophies for BBS 0.2 only never botherd finnishing with BBS. I cant make myself do boring tedious things 3 times in a row.. I just cant. I started this one, actualy finnished all the optional bosses and critical playtroughs asuming those would be my main hurdle. Then started my journey of collecting everything.. and having to play all those monopoly like board games for each world, for each character.. I gave up. Maybe one day I will overcome this hurdle and complete my journey. This day is not that day.
For some comments on the Ventus collectable glitch and the Dream Drop Distance record keeper achievement glitches. It appears from what I recall and can see today that its only the PS3 version where you have to worry about it and not other versions, so thats good.
This is giving me flashbacks to when I had the bright idea to 100% platinum all the PS4 port games before playing KH3 (bad idea in hindsight considering 3 is already considered pretty easy by series standards. Wasn't much fun in comparison). Wasn't there an achievement related to beating the secret bosses with Terra in BBS on the second hardest difficulty or something? Or required for an entry to 100% on that difficulty? That was imho the hardest part out of everything, and I managed to beat the secret bosses on _the_ hardest difficulty with Aqua and Ven. Those few missing invincibility frames in Terra's slide make it nothing but pain. I'd take even the grindiest achievements over having to do that again.
I've 100% all but KH:MoM and didn't realise at the time how grindy or difficult some of these really were, i guess i got really into them while trophies were popping everywhere lol.
11:47 ... My guess as to why Ventus has the lowest of the three characters is because well, Ventus is (effectively) Sora which everyone can play as in every single game anyways where as Terra and Aqua are playable in a lot less games and so people are going to go "ok I want to 100% the game at least once, but I don't know if I want to have to 100% it three times so I will use one of the less playable characters rather than Sora v0 or v3 depending on how you look at it seeing as Ventus is pre Sora Sora and so would be version 0, or you could view it as version 3 because Sora was introduced first, then Roxas, then the prequel, either way point is that if you are going to 100% a game but not going to waste time 100%ing it three times just for a true 100% then you are probably going to use one of the non Sora characters rather than playing the same character that is playable in every game.
I'm sure if Re:Coded was 100% ported, not many people would get the trophy for defeating Data Riku with lvl less than 15. He's a demon to fight! Even with high lvl and well prepared he kicks your ass on critical!
Platted all the series this year and by far the hardest is the Birth By Sleep completion achievement for all the 3 characters and the WORST one is fighting No Name with Terra on critical modem its strieght up unfair and it me days to defeat him, and BBS feels like 3 plats but in one 😅 A close one is the fight with Yozora
After getting the plat for all KH Games and 100% in 0.2, just missing the DLC of 3. I can say that this brought back some war memories, for me the hardest and most tedious one was for BBS, complete everything 3 times is just awful and play the boardgame to completion every time is absolute hell.
I platinumed all the games except Melody Of Memory (which I refuse to pay 50 euros for). But I assure you guys that the hardest thing I did was blowing up that fucking mushroom in mission 8 in kh2, the only time in my life when I was about to cry in earning a trophy. Even with the guides that shit kept randomly dropping, worst memory I have platinating the games.
I've gotten 100% on all the numbered titles, but I haven't done so on any of the others. Risk taker is definitely my proudest. I did full codes for the entire game, expect for the data fights, so that way I could afford to pick my battles.
Nah the hardest trophy hands down is the Maestro Trophy. If you aren't aware, that's the trophy that requires you to get all fantastic ratings for each song in Ice cream beat. (BBS). In fact while I have every single platinum trophy for each game, BBS is the only game that I don't have the platinum trophy, due to that ice cream..
@@RichFakh In terms of just hop in and playing, I'd say 2 or 3. In terms of completing 2. For personal tastes, I'd say Melody of Memories because I like rhythm games
will you be at some point be making a video about the dlc included? i feel like risk taker would be pretty darn high on the list along with secret episode.
Out of all the trophys I am just missing MoM's Enemy Buster. I can beat Dark Domination nearly without any mistakes and it would take me 6 hours to get it, but I can't find the motivation to finish it, even if it's the very last trophy to get.
That Gummi Ship blueprint achievemnt for the PS3 version is difficult. The missions I had the most problem with where the travel from place to place and take no damage. The rest of the missions where not as difficult as this video makes it out to be. Understanding how the ship is built is also really easy its just certain mission that are difficult. I felt i was not very good at the the missions and I got the achievement so it shouldnt be to difficult for most people.
as someone who has platnum evry single kingdom hearts game, i know for a fact witch is the hardest archivement to get, and funnt enough, is from recoded, it involves having very single ability and one of the ability involves getting 99 puppys trough the ds streetpass mechanic. each time you meet someone with that mechanic you get a set of cards to scratch and there is a chance one of those cards has a puppy, and yes is all random you have to fins 99 of them to get one ability, I bet that is the Rarerest KH archivement in the series but since its a ds game isimposible to tell. also, no, I do not have that one.
Seeing KH3D Record Keeper as the Rank 1 achievement and knowing that 100% KH games was the only way to get any respect in the playground as a kid. I couldn't imagine doing that today with work and everything. It's a testament to the strength of the KH devs that 100% runs were always enjoyable to do
Hearing the praise for those who grinded 'Record Keeper' almost got the synapses firing that I numbed while getting that achievement.
Thank you.
congrats!
Birth By Sleep platinum was the worst for me. You have to meld every command for all 3 characters and it takes an absurd amount of grinding.
I just have to do crit run for all character now but after griding 25 hrs for each character and defeating MF and Pete (yes) three times I lost motivation lol
Also not worth to do.
Definitely the hardest one in terms of motivation needed to 100% the same game 3 times. Fuck the ice cream mini game and the Mario party ripoff
@@minkwak it doesn't have to be 100% on crit, I cleared ctit first went back and did it all on normal

You made the kh3 entry seem way harder then it actually is I got that trophy in one day technically less because by the time you get to the end of the game you will have enough materials to craft most of the stuff and everything else is stupid easy to get with a guide.
And then you have Risk Taker...why isnt that here? ReMind 100% is easily harder than the Platinum.
@@Vayne_SolidorI think he said no dlcs or remasters in the beginning of the video.
It's also note to mention how badly bugged the 100% Achievement is for DDD. I had to go through 2 playthroughs carefully to get it. Absolute bonkers imo.
yea i was worried about that to when going for the plat thankfully the 100% record trophy didn't bug out on me, but there was a trophy that did bug out on me I forget what the trophy was exactly but was related to either an item or a chest but I would open the last chest I needed for trophy and the trophy wouldn't pop no matter how many times I exit out of the game and reload save and open the chest It wouldn't pop so i ended up going to my standard mode save because i was playing on critical and i did the stuff required for the trophy again and it poped i still have no idea why square left bugged trophies in the game
@@Bluedude08
There was a few that are bugged and in order to fix them I had to delete the main user profile on my console and create a new user. The process is dumb but somehow works. I find DDD to be very tedious to Plat.
The expression "nerves of steel" defines all KH players! Just beat Melodies of Memory and most of the tracks I played on proud mode. Hopefully I'll get this achievement soon enough. Cheers KH fans, may your heart be your guiding key.
Its fair you would lump Days and coded like. That both games in both gameplay and story are tantamount to each other. Basically a version of finding out the truth of these chain of events.
Im surprised that Kh MoM has the least rare trophies, some of them are super hard.
Like the perfect 50 tracks in proud
Or
Reaching Platinum rank 1
I was surprised, too. Pretty sure I couldn't have pulled off some of the requirements.
Bro platinum rank 1 IS SO ANNOYING HOW ARE THEY ALLOWED TO HIDE THE HEARTLESS AND THE GUIDES it's so frustrating especially when getting a good instead of rainbow exelent can put you behind,
@@XepherXV The Platinum of MoM wasnt too hard though.
@@XepherXV wierdly enough thats not really a problem if you know the song. it is dumb tho if you play a song you arent familiar with
if you are musically inclined I don't think MoM 100% is too bad. PS wise, most of KH games plat percentage is around 1 or 2 I think, vs MoM is at 7 or 9% if I recall right
As someone who got the platinum trophy in KH, KH2, and KH BBS, the only one I haven't gotten in CoM is indeed the Riku Lvl 99 trophy. I spent 5 or 6 hours on it and barely went up 7 levels. I'll finish it some day, but it'll take several sittings.
I’ve platinum every KHs game except recom because of that trophy lol
My best tip for leveling Riku is to use the Lexaeus card on the thirteenth floor, with the optimal enemy layouts, (I unfortunately don't remember which rooms they are)
The Dream drop distance Xbox one X achievements are driving me nuts for these Special portals
And yet despite all the KH grinding, farming and low health noise PTSD and sora pain nose spam I STILL WANT TO RERUN EM SOONER OR LATER, but this time on PC with couple mods that improve some aspects of the game and such (namely for 1 and 2)
I've actually plated every KH game and I have to say, this is properly scaled to the grind of each. I knew Re:Com and 3D were gonna score that high, those were both brutal grinds even if I think BBS took me the longest by having to do everything 3 times basically.
Riku's story isn't the thing that makes the grind in Chain of Memories to 99 for him tough. It's the fact that you can't get any stronger past level 50 or so.
Nice info! Thank you so much for the input =)
That trophy was manageable for sora but damn was it dumb for riku. They could have at the very least just rebalanced the XP for the HD collections so that at least by time you hit the final area you end up being a fairly high level (70? 80?) So by time you finish last area you'll have some good levels and the last grind won't be too bad
This video compiled some nice data on which trophies people tend to obtain throughout their playthroughs!
What makes it especially interesting is the fact that the trophies that take the longest amount of time don't correlate with this ranking at all.
If one were to look at the speedruns foe the Platinum Trophies in the respective games, Enemy Buster in MoM would win by a mile as even when focusing on that trophy alone you'd sit there for ~8-10 hours.
Record Keeper being the #1 Rarest achievement really took me by surprise as taking a look at the speedrun records shows that Dream Drop Distance is the second fastest game to get the Platinum Trophy on next to KH3. Then again DDD is also a less popular title so I imagine most people either dropped the game at some point or just didn't bother beyond the story.

Re:Coded: "Wanna go burn down Square-Enix's offices? I know where they live."
This is me.
you know its like the more kingdom hearts game comes out the more post game stuff we have to do i mean kingdom hearts re:chain of memory, 358?2 days, recoded 0.2 birth by sleep a fragmentary passage, and melody of memory didnt have that much post game stuff but kh 1 had stuff like the gummi ship missions, the super bosses, the trinity, 101 dalmation, the sythesize shop, and the cups in olympus coliseum, kh 2 have treasure, puzzle pieces, super bosses, olympus coliseum cups, the journal missions, doing all moogle mision which require you to get every single material, the mushroom 13, and maxing out all the drive form and summons, and synthesizing everything, birth by sleep have treasures, stickers, the mirage arena, getting all commands, and maxing out all d links, getting all movement commands and shocklock, beating all superbosses, and u have to do these as both terra aqua and ventus, and you have to beat the final episode and secret episode, kh ddd have secret portal, superbosses, special portal, getting all dream eater recipe and crafting all dream eater, beat all flick rush , and beat all dives, and you have to do these as both sora and riku, and kh 3 treasure, lucky emblem, gummi ship missions, taking pictures of all the consolation, do all moogle missions do secret portal maxing out all keyblades get a perfect score in all cooking with remy, and synthesize all items and beat the fremind dlc and limt cut these games keeps giving us more and more to do and it gets difficult each time
Just in time before the kingdom hearts games come onto ps plus!
Will you be going for the platinum trophies? :)
Most likely so. I got lots of time on my hAnds anyways haha. Even if there are grinding ones I just platinumed a game that took me 135 hours so bring it on lol. And I been wanting to get in this series anyways to see what's it about so can't wait 😊
I know the gummi missions can get tedious, but some of the most fun I've had in all Kingdom Hearts was the KH1 mission where you can't get hit or destroy anything. Guns are pointless, HP is pointless, and you want to minimize your hitbox, so the optimal ship is pretty much a big log made out of nothing but thrusters, a few special ability blocks, and the power of positive thinking. Trying to pilot that while having mundane asteroids rocks become game-ending threats is absolutely hysterical.
The Ven Achievement might be because of the Disney town segment. It requires you to have completed it with two characters already, before the 3rd character is able to be awarded the "Million Dream Award" cutscene, and since most people play as Ven first and and Aqua last, explains why her's is the highest of the 3. It technically takes 5 playthroughs to get all 3! 😂🤦♂️
For that KH3 achievement I had most of the materials already. And getting Ultima is something that is just pretty normal to do? Getting plat in that game and playing through the whole story took me around 60 hours so honestly pretty normal playtime
Imma completionist I’ve done all of these …kingdom hearts is my favorite game of all time …I’m obsessed with it ..,even down to the phone games 😂
A correction for the birth by sleep note u said! Nothing is missable u can obtain everything after u defeat the main story boss or at any giving time and u don't need to follow a guide for it if u don't want too.
358/2 Days was also a DS title, not a 3DS title. The only 3DS title is Dream Drop Distance.
*Sees title of video and immediately flashbacks to the Re:Mind DLC PRO codes.
Terra's reports trophy in BBS should be a higher rarity than Ventus's since beating MF with Terra is significantly more difficult.
I have obtained every single achievement in the Kingdom Hearts series on both PS3 AND PS4 (with the exception of Melody of Memory because I wanted it on Switch). The amount of time stress and dedication required to Plat these games is ridiculous. But, on the plus side, it forced me to get really good at these games. Well, good or just stubbornly persistent.
I couldn't agree with you more. What baffles me is that, despite all the insanity you have to go through to get all the achievements, the overall completion rate is still relatively high. Currently tackling KH 2.5 and all I have left is another playthrough on critical difficutly. But after the mushrooms, the minigames, the synthesizing, data fights, etc, I'm just so tired of that game. I can't begin to imagine the struggle you've been through to get (almost) all the games done twice. Props to you!
I actually platinumed all of the KH games and honestly don’t know what I was thinking. I’m never doing that shit again lol
I’ll be honest the gummy ship builder in KH3 is ESPECIALLY discouraging to use since the blueprints exceed the cost limit. Really makes me feel like nothing I could make would ever be better than what the game could already give me.
Yeah the ship you got from going in the tornado was/is the best. All I needed
Nah you can make some pretty crazy ships from what I remember
@@ancientx5101 oh you absolutely can, and the donut ship will always be a classic! But because blueprints like the golden highwind are allowed to exceed the cost limit, I feel discouraged since nothing I make will ever compare to it.
I platted kh2 so if it shows up anywhere on this list I’m one of the elite
for 358/2 days, if the actual game had achievements it would be getting ultima weapon. it requires completing (aside from the tutorial missions) every single mission with some added difficulty (enemy lvl increased, super strict time limit, only attack X amount of times, dont get hit, etc)
"Fantastic music"
**shows KH2 Atlantica**
I think the only original KH game I 100% was Birth By Sleep on the PSP. Everything else was on HD Remix and KH3
Didnt even know top gun was rare lol. I love the kh2 gummi missions and always just make the basic unhittable ship which makes the achievement a cakewalk
Personally I was taken aback a bit when I heard how much exp Riku needs in kh: Recom. I've wondered though how much sanity it would take for someone to get Sora in Kh1 on Destiny Islands only, to get to level 99 as well. Same goes for Kh2 with Roxas in Twilight Town to level 99...
Saw a stream once where this guy tried it and literally was losing his mind trying it. Furthest I've gotten when I was a kid with Roxas was to level 28 or so. Then I said f it. And yes that was over the course of months and months lol
now i wanna play DDD to get the achievement lmao, never finished it anyway...nice video!
Thank you!
Best of luck if you go for it! :)
"Fantastic music."
*Shows KH2 Atlantica.*
Me: "Are you feeling alright?"
As for Dream Drop Distance and the record keeper achievement. Its got a low completion rate as the game is not as popular as the other games in the series. Also it is as stated in this video a lot of grinding for things like mini games, synth items, dream eater levels and so on. Its not difficult just time consuming.
Tbh for the rank 8 achievement , which i dont have yet but am on my way to, the best way is hunting other achievements, like playing every song on every difficulty or getting the full chains.
i do have EVERY OTHER ACHIEVEMENT of this list tho
Birth By Sleep is absolutely the hardest. No question. All of them have certain tedious trophies, but BBS will test the limits of your skill. KH3 DLC is also really difficult.
I actually found Dream Drop to be pretty easy. It's more tedious than difficult.
Ironically, the only KH game I haven't platinumed is Re:Chain of Memories and it isn't because of tedium or difficulty, it's because I don't like the card battle system.
Also, I ended up getting lv99 on Sora AND Riku in the GBA Chain of Memories... along with getting every possible card for both.
I sure as hell wasn't doing that again.
I've got 100% trophies / plats on all KH PS4 games early this year to celebrate the 20th anniversary. Biggest grind was the music game and rechain.
I platinumed all the games and I do have to say that probably the worst (not the hardest) was getting Lv 99 with Riku in CoM... I finished his story around level 45-ish... so basically all I did was grinding for hours to get 50 Levels. Sora's side really isn't that bad since you got more Screen-wipes and you are generally a higher level after finishing the game, plus the overall grind for all cards gives you some exp too.
As for hardest, either BBS since you have to beat the secret bosses 3 times and... especially with Terra they are a chore.
Kh3 Reminds trophy with the Pro Codes is also a really tough one, but a good challenge in my opinion. At least not quite as Bs as the BBS secret bosses
No Heart with Terra was fucking brutal. Young Xehanort was obviously the worst designed fight but I think the fact No Heart had two phases and the fight itself was really long made failing it so much worse. You pretty much had no room for error, and he has that one explosion special attack that can just instantly kill you which forces you to deal with the awful camera the whole time.
For KH2's gummi ship stuff, all the OGs know the donut ship
3DS is one hell of a drug.. I still play it from time to time.. But.. I might have to climb the mountain.. Oh grief, what have I gotten myself into? Mind, I have actually completed it once on PS4, but yeah, I am skeptical. Might have to give it a shot..
lol i almost got all 100% on KH3d, if you mentioned this like 8 years earlier then i wouldnt have sold my cartidge
Dream drop distance record keeper is a surprise to me. I got a platinum in kh1 2 3 and dream drop distance. Also decided to go the extra mile with 3 and got the risk taker trophy.
My game glitched so im still unable to get it ive beat it 2 times .....the collection achievement is what refuses to appear for me.
I think a big reason KH3 had such low % for its achievement was that the game sold MASSIVELY and then about 3/4 of the people who bought it abandoned the game after the first world.
For the adventurer Ventus achievement, no one wants to do the ice cream game with Huey Dewey and Louie ever again
Worst part you have to do it with all 3 characters to unlock the last song. This was the hardest achievement I completed
Rarest trophy is convincing someone to start and finish all the kingdom hearts that hasn’t played it.
Rarest achievement by plea of insanity causation, defeating the mushroom XIII and getting the gold crown kh2 remake
Aside from the Melody of Memory trophies (since I haven't played the game) I'd have to say that I'm proud to have gotten every trophy on the list.
Personal hardest might've been the Pro-Codes while most annoying was getting Riku to Level 99. I will say that having to do EVERYTHING three times for BBS was a pain, but I count that as more of a Platinum Requirement than its own trophy.
The greatest achievement is figuring out the plot.
not gonna lie: KH3DS platinum was way easier than beating Mysterious Figure 3 times. Launched the game on Critical the first time I played it and never had a problem.
Another thing, the DDD one has an inside achievement not displayed on the trophies, inside the journal that is much harder because it requires you to grind your dream eaters levels. That was really painful
The song that plays during the Dream Eater stuff is forever burned into my ear drums.
As a megafan who's got 100% on all the kingdom hearts games, the Gummi ship achievements gave me cancer.
I got Plats for KH1 and 2 for PS3. Re:chain of memories for ps4 (was working on ps3 one, untill the ps4 one dropped with STACKED DIFFICULTY TROPHIES). DDD, KH3 and MOM as well for ps4. I got all trophies for BBS 0.2 only never botherd finnishing with BBS. I cant make myself do boring tedious things 3 times in a row.. I just cant. I started this one, actualy finnished all the optional bosses and critical playtroughs asuming those would be my main hurdle. Then started my journey of collecting everything.. and having to play all those monopoly like board games for each world, for each character.. I gave up. Maybe one day I will overcome this hurdle and complete my journey. This day is not that day.
For some comments on the Ventus collectable glitch and the Dream Drop Distance record keeper achievement glitches. It appears from what I recall and can see today that its only the PS3 version where you have to worry about it and not other versions, so thats good.
Can’t wait for Kingdom Hearts 69/420 RxPi minus circumference squared
This is giving me flashbacks to when I had the bright idea to 100% platinum all the PS4 port games before playing KH3 (bad idea in hindsight considering 3 is already considered pretty easy by series standards. Wasn't much fun in comparison).
Wasn't there an achievement related to beating the secret bosses with Terra in BBS on the second hardest difficulty or something? Or required for an entry to 100% on that difficulty? That was imho the hardest part out of everything, and I managed to beat the secret bosses on _the_ hardest difficulty with Aqua and Ven. Those few missing invincibility frames in Terra's slide make it nothing but pain. I'd take even the grindiest achievements over having to do that again.
watching this made me feel like an outcast when i got a platinum trophy on MoM and kh3 already
Oh nice, a list of goals to achieve that I hadn't thought about.
I've 100% all but KH:MoM and didn't realise at the time how grindy or difficult some of these really were, i guess i got really into them while trophies were popping everywhere lol.
ddd was the first game i ever got 100% in! would not have guessed that it was the hardest lmaooo
11:47 ... My guess as to why Ventus has the lowest of the three characters is because well, Ventus is (effectively) Sora which everyone can play as in every single game anyways where as Terra and Aqua are playable in a lot less games and so people are going to go "ok I want to 100% the game at least once, but I don't know if I want to have to 100% it three times so I will use one of the less playable characters rather than Sora v0 or v3 depending on how you look at it seeing as Ventus is pre Sora Sora and so would be version 0, or you could view it as version 3 because Sora was introduced first, then Roxas, then the prequel, either way point is that if you are going to 100% a game but not going to waste time 100%ing it three times just for a true 100% then you are probably going to use one of the non Sora characters rather than playing the same character that is playable in every game.
I'm sure if Re:Coded was 100% ported, not many people would get the trophy for defeating Data Riku with lvl less than 15. He's a demon to fight! Even with high lvl and well prepared he kicks your ass on critical!
It's only been a couple weeks since this video, but the reports trophies for BBS already decreased in completion by 3% 😱
Getting all the trophies for the Kh is so fun, i love going through all the pain and stress and getting rewarded with the plat trophies. 😭
wow
personally i have 3 more achievements in KH3 until i get the platinum trophy.
nice video man
Thank you!
Best of luck on your KH3 Platinum run!
I'm gonna be honest, i've always loved the KH2 and KH3 versions of the Gummi ship missions, and I"m pretty sure you can get SSS on the KH2 missions
the suffering i’ve been through to get the orichalcum+ is just …… it was worth it for the ultima key blade
Platted all the series this year and by far the hardest is the Birth By Sleep completion achievement for all the 3 characters and the WORST one is fighting No Name with Terra on critical modem its strieght up unfair and it me days to defeat him, and BBS feels like 3 plats but in one 😅
A close one is the fight with Yozora
Great analysis video! Thanks for uploading!
Thank you so much for watching! :)
After getting the plat for all KH Games and 100% in 0.2, just missing the DLC of 3. I can say that this brought back some war memories, for me the hardest and most tedious one was for BBS, complete everything 3 times is just awful and play the boardgame to completion every time is absolute hell.
I platinumed all the games except Melody Of Memory (which I refuse to pay 50 euros for). But I assure you guys that the hardest thing I did was blowing up that fucking mushroom in mission 8 in kh2, the only time in my life when I was about to cry in earning a trophy. Even with the guides that shit kept randomly dropping, worst memory I have platinating the games.
I've gotten 100% on all the numbered titles, but I haven't done so on any of the others. Risk taker is definitely my proudest. I did full codes for the entire game, expect for the data fights, so that way I could afford to pick my battles.
Kingdom Hearts 2 Gummi ship... just when you think you're done with S rank... there is still SS Rank and SSS Rank waiting ominously.
Nah the hardest trophy hands down is the Maestro Trophy. If you aren't aware, that's the trophy that requires you to get all fantastic ratings for each song in Ice cream beat. (BBS). In fact while I have every single platinum trophy for each game, BBS is the only game that I don't have the platinum trophy, due to that ice cream..
I've gotten every trophy from each game, ps3 and ps4 versions.
Congrats! Which game is your favorite?
@@RichFakh In terms of just hop in and playing, I'd say 2 or 3. In terms of completing 2. For personal tastes, I'd say Melody of Memories because I like rhythm games
will you be at some point be making a video about the dlc included? i feel like risk taker would be pretty darn high on the list along with secret episode.
Ice cream beat will forever be the bane of my existence. I won't ever get platinum on BBS because of it
Dream Drop Distance took me two weeks to platinum. Easiest platinum I've got so far.
Out of all the trophys I am just missing MoM's Enemy Buster. I can beat Dark Domination nearly without any mistakes and it would take me 6 hours to get it, but I can't find the motivation to finish it, even if it's the very last trophy to get.
That Gummi Ship blueprint achievemnt for the PS3 version is difficult. The missions I had the most problem with where the travel from place to place and take no damage. The rest of the missions where not as difficult as this video makes it out to be. Understanding how the ship is built is also really easy its just certain mission that are difficult. I felt i was not very good at the the missions and I got the achievement so it shouldnt be to difficult for most people.
as someone who has platnum evry single kingdom hearts game, i know for a fact witch is the hardest archivement to get, and funnt enough, is from recoded, it involves having very single ability and one of the ability involves getting 99 puppys trough the ds streetpass mechanic. each time you meet someone with that mechanic you get a set of cards to scratch and there is a chance one of those cards has a puppy, and yes is all random you have to fins 99 of them to get one ability, I bet that is the Rarerest KH archivement in the series but since its a ds game isimposible to tell. also, no, I do not have that one.
one of the few people that actually like the gummy ship stuff then, good to know.
I platinumed every KH game except DDD. I just couldn’t get into it. Still need to get the BBS 0.2 and ReMind gold trophies though.
I would never want to do any of these, and I think 1.7% achievement rate is mind-blowingly high.
Seeing KH3D Record Keeper as the Rank 1 achievement and knowing that 100% KH games was the only way to get any respect in the playground as a kid. I couldn't imagine doing that today with work and everything. It's a testament to the strength of the KH devs that 100% runs were always enjoyable to do
I have unlimited bragging rights. Damn I'm cool
Frankly I found the KH 3 one you mentioned super easy compared to say KH 2 Final Mix's synthesis
KH3D's plat was actually pretty easy. Tedious, but easy. Kh1's gummi blueprints is by FAR harder.
