I honestly had no idea you could just straight up not do some of the worlds. I've played Kingdom Hearts so many times and I didn't know that. I didn't know the trick to navigating Monstro either. That blew my mind. Honestly good work for completing this challenge. I caught a few streams on TikTok while on the toilet so I'm glad to see the final product here
I'd see you streaming on tiktok and watch every now and then. It made me boot up and play KH again as well but I left the island at level 10! You're amazing with that kind of patience, I was certainly getting antsy just getting those levels!
i meah he does have a point. lord of the rings at least the one with froddo is just him going to throw a ring into a volcano. everything else is just prep time XD
@@supercamborg4218 it is tho. the entire point of lord of the rings (not the world but the story with froddo gandalf legolas aragorn and gimli) is just to go and destroy the ring. going around getting help meeting other people and traveling is just basically filler really. goal -> destroy the ring. Everything else is prep and travel. and again I'm not talking about the entire world the lore behind everything etc.
Honestly best spot to grind on destiny islands for me was actually right before leaving when it’s night you can get a loop of about 45 hearts around the island then run into shack to respawn them.
7:38, you're so wrong about this. The purple and black was far more intimidating and made for less of an eyesore. The final mix colours murdered my entire family as I watched. You will be punished for your opinion against me personally! (I liked the video, lol)
I never knew that trick about the green doors in Monstro. I just followed the Green Requiems like Gepetto suggests. Weird they go as far as to double mark the correct path but that's neat I guess
I don’t know what makes me feel worse the fact that I just learned that I could’ve skipped colosseum since I didn’t use thunder at all or the fact that people genuinely forgot that they didn’t defeat bosses so I’m not the only one
HEY, DID YOU KNOW THAT IN THE TWO TOWERS MOVIE, WHEN VIGGO MORTENSEN KICKS THAT HELMET AND SCREAMS THAT HE ACTUALLY BROKE HIS TOE AND THAT WAS A LEGITIMATE SCREAM OF PAIN? Let me know if you want my cool Lord of the Rings facts by commenting below, and make sure to SMASH that like button.
Took me almost 20 years since I gave up on the second to last room, with the behemoth, and then Kh2 came out. Finally beat the game something like 18 years after getting it during covid for xbox
13:43 FINALLY someone who can share my adoration of Halloween Town. Halloween Town was truly a incredible world!! Also I might have to do this challenge for myself at some point. Would be nice to pop some of the enemies at the beginning so satisfyingly.
Hating on the LOTR trilogy while simultaneously comparing it to Harry Potter is the ultimate slander. One of the former won an Oscar for Best Picture. Meanwhile, old Snakeface had a tough time dealing with a teenager. Respect the grind though. I thought I was a glutton for punishment when it comes to grinding in JRPGs, but you sir take the cake on this one.
My man says that LOTR sucks and that Deep Jungle is more poorly designed than Wonderland??? Bruh, lay off the crack or use some inflection so we know it's a joke.
@@ReptilianP For real though, lvl 100 on Destiny Islands has been a dream of mine since I was a child. Congrats on doing it! I think I have a save file on a PS2 memory card where I'm like level 20. I gave up at that point.
Nahhh he makes a point with that second one, except both Wonderland and Deep Jungle suck in my opinion. No matter the game, Wonderland sucks in KH1, Re Coded, Re Chain of Memories, and 358/2 Days. It’s one of my least favorite worlds in the series. Deep Jungle, it just seemed so freaking boring
This is nothing short of amazing. I might have put a combined 250+ hours in multiple play throughs over 20 years. I could never imagine taking on such an endeavor.
oh, oh. you got me intrigued on doing a play through with leveling up to 100 at DI. I got the PC version (bundle) a few years back when I thought my laptop (which is 10 or so years old now)could play them. Finally treated myself to a new laptop this year. I do have the games on PS4 that were gifted, along with the 1.5& 2.5 final mix for PS3. Lots to think about for sure. I did beat proud mode with a few trophies unlocked on the PS4.
Equipping your new keychains actually still would have been helpful because in KH1 keyblades have reach and the Deep Jungle key is one of the longer keyblades, also magic power is determined by the length of your magic bar so equipping a magic boosting keyblade would have meant that you healed more and stop would last longer etc. Not that it really matters at level 100 but the long reach definitely makes a couple of fights less annoying, particularly the Monstro cage heartless that knocks you away constantly which is why they made the Agrabah keyblade short so players would equip it thinking it was better than the Deep Jungle one but actually puts them at a disadvantage for that fight.
That feels like the animes where the protagonist is inexplicably OP and destroys everithing in one hit, and the reason of that godlike force is a human training daily. It's fantastic
I got to level 11 on my most recent playthrough and felt like I was gonna die of boredom. I respect your focus, commitment, and sheer fucking will, sir.
It's not that I hate Guard Armors Final Mix recolor. It's just that I hate how new players to the series don't get to see his or any of the other heartless' original colors.
Here I felt overkill reaching level 20 on destiny island and that was before final mix. (I had a "trauma" as a kid. When I reached traverse town thr first time, i fiund the place really difficult, I died many time after Leon beat my ass and couldn't figure out how to find Donald and Goofy. So when I started a new game, older, I decided to take revenge.)
Not only do you hate Lord of The Rings. (I should get sick from that) But you also don't see the importance of the Jungle Key. It has the most reach out of all keyblades. And when you don't use Combo Plus of any kind you do the most physical damage. You sir. I applaud because at least you played it your way 😂
I remember thinking this challenge was an awesome idea. I figure I would start out at dusk if I’m going to be grinding out anyway, the last third of the levels would just be quicker and easier to handle. And when the heartless visit destiny island, I’d comb the island to destroy them meter and exit cabin and have them all reload again. Dunno if that’s wasting more time tho.
As child , i ignored concept of leveling and were too scared of Guardian Armor To fight it , so i spend 2 years playing in Traverse town. And when i beat Guardian Armor , i thought it was because i grew up Then , i did same schemes for the next 10 years ( clayton, Ansem /Rikku , Balrog and final Ansem ) I dont think i m THAT bad at vidéo games 😭
Hey! my sister and I did tech point grinding too! we did it with Selphie! we found out that you can if you get the time right just farm her for tech points infinitely. you see her parry actually involves you knocking her jump rope back such that it smacks her on the head you get 2 points for the parry (with the right build) and one when the handle of her jump rope smacks her in the head. this way you can farm tech points for eternity. like i remember we did it the first time for 4 hours with one fight and if we messed up she has the lowest attack stat so unlike Tidus can't effing one shot you if you have the wrong build. this was before the internet was mainstream so we where playing the game truly blind when if first came out. [our first play through started at midnight. so we where very concerned about how the rest of the game would go when Tidus effing two shot us the first time we fought him. nope we had just unintentionally put the game in git gud mode]. the start of the game is torture in at midnight cause you level so slow and everything hits like a truck.
Did he just call the Lord of the Rings movies boring?! One of if not the greatest movie trilogies of all time?! I take it you never beat Leon before this? He's not that difficult to beat at a normal level if you're patient and wait for the right moment to attack and don't overcommit. I personally hate the remix colors for the heartless that they changed colors for! They don't fit the dark nature of the heartless like the original colors. I don't understand what they were thinking giving heartless these bright colors that look like something out of a children's game. Oh no! The worst world design in the Kingdom Hearts franchise is Atlantica hands down because of the awful water controls! Oh yeah! I do that with fire every now and then when I have a bunch of mp. Haha! I'm glad to see others that do the same. Halloween Town is my favorite town in the first game as well! Nice!
I just bought KH1.5+2.5 on Steam since it just showed up there a bit ago, and really want to do this challenge, but holy fuck 250 hours of whacking Tidus sounds like hell lmao. You have my infinite respect for streaming every second of it.
KH2 came out when i was 10 and i was so hyped for it after KH1 that by the end of my game I clocked 255 hours because I spent so much time exploring and being excited over every single little detail of the maps 😭. I also was just shit at video games so it took me forever to complete anything.
For Monstro I only followed the numbers to the best of my ability... If I'm in Chamber #1 I look for #2, from there I got to #3 and so on. Is the best way I've found not to get lost.
His name is pronounced that way because Tida means sun, whereas Yuna means moon. Also they do say "Tide-us" in KH1 for whatever that is worth. I think his name is only said once in the game.
liking KH while ragging on lord of the rings feels like a nerdy ouroboros like I get it might be a joke but if you like kingdom hearts chances are you like anything from your childhood, for me those movies were included ;-; if maybe forced at some point idek anymore

Oh dude is that generative Ai art of Sora? Owh...
Yeah. I instantly subscribed due to your success. You deserve the praise for this.

Did you know you could farm xp on heartless? And go into shack and when you come back all heartless respawn on the island!
Working on this challenge too, but I’m at level 51 and feel like I’m going insane
You’re halfway there… kinda 😂
I always grinded against Wakka coz I was better at hitting his ball than I was fighting Tidus.
i had no idea about monstro and i played KH since 2003 my whole
mind has been blown
His name is pronounced Tee-dus. You think it would be Tide-us because, you know, FFX is a Beachy game, but nope. Tee-dus.

Was watching a friend play this and offhandedly said "wonder how long it would take to get to level cap here?"
I saw "250 hours" And clocked it immediately. Only one thing takes that long in this game.
