It always blows me away when people put this level of editing into a simple tutorial, like game devs should pay people like this guy to make official tutorials for their games for real
I adore the moogle reminder, its so cute!! Came here trying to see a new strategy, but left with more knowledge of his mechanics. I love all the details you go into and the images of the arena.
Aero would’ve most likely automatically deflected the shards and basically allowed you to cheese the boss by removing its main gimmick of the challenge, so the devs basically said “nah screw you, learn to time it and do the challenge properly” lol
I've been stuck on this battle for days, never getting down to the yellow bar... I literally beat it the first time after watching this tutorial! Thank you SO MUCH!
Thanks man. KH1 is my childhood game and i just completed the gold match for the first time in my life playing on the PS5. Gonna watch your sephirot guide too! The equipment for this was so clutch
My favorite spot to be for this fight is at the far end of the stands on the left side when the fight starts. Stay near the bottom of the stands and you can make his ice breath and mega freeze miss with only a small amount of movement, ice breath you take a short jog up the stands and the mega freeze you dip off to your left to ground level and wait it out before moving back.
This is an amazing tutorial! I went and got all the prerequisites and beat him on my first try. Thanks to all the ice resistance accessories he didn't do much damage to me and I was able to tank a lot of hits before having to heal.
I tried this guide on the OG KH1 (not the 1.5 remix) so some accessories and abilities aren’t available, but this guide still helped me beat the ice titan on the first go! It also did help that I’m on level 70 with the Ultima keyblade. Now on to try my hand at beating Sephiroth.
@@KHGuides also i just wanna say You're editing skills are so good that i thought at least you had a few 1k-2k subs but when i saw it's just 200 i subbed cuz your channel is suuuuper underated
Love your guide, but i really recommend striking the icicles with attacks from the keyblade. disabling lock on will help so you dont always strike towards the ice giant. guard just wasnt working for me.
I've played this game literally countless times, and I never knew you could put out the fires a second time. I always used Blizzara on them as soon as I got it, I didn't know I could then use Blizzaga for an even better piece of equipment after I got that spell.
Would you be able to make a guide that explains the basics of things that the game doesn't tell you well such as, tech points vs experience points, the different orbs, mentioning hidden stats on different keyblades, if you should switch to the Disney characters or keep on the trio in New worlds, etc. I don't know much but I'm trying to, yet it's also pretty difficult when I either don't know what I'm trying to look up or even know something is a feature in the first place. Also a guide on leveling up early game, before anti-sora, and late game would be amazing too!
Looks like Ice Titan fights exactly the same in FM as he does in OG. Second-easiest optional boss, IMO. You don't have to run all around him after he recovers from his stun, though. Just run, roll, and jump along the Coliseum steps until the Titan is facing you. Also, the only times you should be on the arena floor are at the very beginning of the fight and when you go to combo the Titan while he's stunned.
this video is very helpful beat him first try after watching thanks a lot great video I played on the PlayStation years ago never beat him so thanks dude
great video, i am replaying kh1 on proud difficulty, and this guide was great for the fight. i even forgot to equip items but i beat it at 1st try. it's still a horrible boss
It took me 3 failed attempts before I got it on my 4th 😂 the first 2 was getting used to timing the guards, 3rd was bad luck, and on my 4th go I forgot to replenish my items so went in with only 1 elixir but I did it😅 I feel so accomplished now
If you chose the Shield at the beginning, you won't get MP Haste and MP Rage until level 72 and 90 respectively, so this guide is more suited for those who chose Sword or Staff?
Hi! I've included the link to the text guide in the video description. I'll leave it here in case you need it: www.khguides.com/kh/combat/bosses/ice-titan If you're referring to a particular section of the website that is missing a link, shoot me an email at info@khguides.com - thanks!
hello i'm trying to platinate kh and i have to face ansem without selecting "continue" with the kingdom chain and a lot under level. Could you give us a tutorial? I would be grateful.
Hi, Symok! Our Ansem boss tutorials are coming soon! Follow us on Twitter to get the latest updates on our tutorial video schedule! twitter.com/khguides
Again, thanks for the guide. Made this boss very easy (I don't normally have guard equipped so my first round was very "What do I do?"). This made it a piece of cake. I do find this boss level a bit disappointing. Too much going on all at once. You're trying to deflect icicles whilst also a new attack starts up in the middle of that. It's not like Kurt Zisa who I find a tough but fair fight. He's a good test of your skill and precision, but any time I died I thought that was on me. This fight was just all over the place though
How did you get as far as Ice Titan without equipping Guard ... ? 🤨 Did you just grind until you got your EXP up to like the 80's? That's sounds a good deal less fun without Guard.
@@Mr-Trox Yeah, Dodge Roll is more useful overall in the game, but not so much against Ice Titan. Deflecting his icicles back to him makes the fight much easier, and deflecting's more easily done with Guard than striking at them. It's also better to avoid Titan's attacks by running, jumping, and gliding.
@@Deined I was just pointing out how someone could get all the way to Ice Titan without Guard. I pretty much always have it equipped, but the only times I consistwntly use it are when the Battle requires it instead of Aeroga.
@@KHGuides and btw thx to u I beat gold match E! Now I'm currently at End Of The World grinding for Ultima Weapon LOL! DUH so before I do anything else L lel
Can it be that they slighty changed his ice patterns in FM? I remember fighting him in the original and most of his iceicle attacks were deflectable, but not so in FM.
There might be some slight variations in their speed, maybe? All of the Ice Titan's icicle projectile attacks can be deflected in the Final Mix version (assuming the player doesn't cast Aero magic), but some formations are easier to deflect than others.
Hi, Edoko - great question! Firaga can be used to damage the Ice Titan while locked on to its head, but you'll need to get a bit close to him for it to make contact. And because of all the incoming projectiles, it's tough to cast it consistently without taking damage yourself. Your best opportunity to cast Firaga repeatedly is when the Ice Titan is staggered.
The Pegasus Cup becomes available after completing the story episode in Monstro. The Hades Cup becomes available later in the story (I don't want to spoil that in case it's a first playthrough for ya!).
Casted blizzaga on all 4 flames and got a Holy-G and accessory shop on has the Blizzaga Ring, not seeing Blizzagun... currently at The End of The World 🤔😅
Hey ortolaza! Holy-G is the reward for casting Blizzara on the braziers; there should be another chest on the opposite side of the area after casting Blizzaga on the braziers. But keep in mind that the Blizzagun band and Shiva Belt are only available in the Final Mix version of the game! 👍
@@KHGuides so i never tried when I had blizzara, once I had blizzaga I remembered to try it and got holy g, can't revert back to blizzara lol also I'm playing the original KH thru the android emulator Aethersx2, not the final mix or remix versions
I put out all the fires and opened the chest it didn't give me the Shiva belt or have the blizzagun band at the accessory shop I'm at level 57 and completed the main storyline and see stuff I'm playing this on the playstation 2 I can't level up to 60 anytime soon since I've finished everything and at the door to fight ansem. I beat the hades cup also have to fight the ice giant, seperoth, the phantom at the clock, the hidden boss in Aladdins world
Hi, Alyssa! The Shiva Belt is exclusive to the Final Mix version of the game, so that won't be an option for you on PS2. Your best option is to purchase Blizzaga Rings from the Accessory Shop in Traverse Town - those will increase your ice resistance!
@@KHGuides thanks I thought it might be one of the kingdom hearts games for another playstation system But was sure lol Anyways the guides are a big help and tutorials are easy to understand.
Soo does he not just constantly for like 10 mins just shoot the shards that cant be deflected.....Ive had this happened and couldn't deal damage and lost.....3 video i saw where yall are getting insanely lucky
Hi there! Just to confirm: you are NOT using Aero magic on Sora and you're still seeing the Ice Titan send the larger icicles? That's a new one for me! As far as I'm aware, those larger icicles only appear when Sora has Aero magic active.
@@KHGuides I AM in fact using Aero...i know how to play.....Is this a bug or something.....He constantly shoots the larger ice spikes that aero or guard cant deflect....Im playing the final mix on the all in one pack....In fact it might Aero that scripts him to constantly shoot the larger shards?
@@packofweaviles1027 Yep, that's correct! As long as your Aero magic is active, the Ice Titan will always send the larger icicles that cannot be blocked/deflected. I'd recommend not casting Aero for this fight. See 2:34 in this tutorial video! 👍
Fun fact: Mrs. Guides (the wife) took on Ice Titan for the first time this evening and came to the same conclusion you did! 🤣 She took it down on the second try - you've got this, Jose!
Beat this boss immediately after watching this guide, thank you so much.
Excellent! Congrats on taking down the Ice Titan, LD!
I did too! Thank u
One of the most professional Kingdom Hearts videos I’ve seen. Please please continue to make these!

I adore the moogle reminder, its so cute!! Came here trying to see a new strategy, but left with more knowledge of his mechanics. I love all the details you go into and the images of the arena.
So the reason the icicles get larger is because of Aero?! Huh. Thanks. This will be very helpful
I had to learn that the hard way 😅
Aero would’ve most likely automatically deflected the shards and basically allowed you to cheese the boss by removing its main gimmick of the challenge, so the devs basically said “nah screw you, learn to time it and do the challenge properly” lol
The editing skills on this is slick!!! Very great presentation wow!! Especially the parts showing where to get the accessories! Nice touch!
Thanks so much, Daniel!
Thank you for this guide, this helped a lot and it actually explains stuff other then "get best items and kill"
I'm so glad it helped, Moggwa! Best of luck in the rest of your playthrough!
I've been stuck on this battle for days, never getting down to the yellow bar... I literally beat it the first time after watching this tutorial! Thank you SO MUCH!

You watched a tutorial before even attempting it yourself a few times?
The best and most informative guide by far.
Thanks so much, Frank! I'm glad you found it helpful!
I beat the boss right after watching this video you might this boss light for me😌
Finally dude i was looking up to see if you've done this guide before and thank you so much cuz of this i just beat him
Hooray! I'm so glad this helped, Egan!
@@KHGuides also i just wanna say You're editing skills are so good that i thought at least you had a few 1k-2k subs but when i saw it's just 200 i subbed cuz your channel is suuuuper underated
Once again, bro is doing the lords work
I've been struggling with this guy for a good while now but I finally managed to defeat him thanks to your guide! Keep it up!
Congrats on the win, pancakes! I'm glad the guides have been helpful! 💙
I can relate with you with this
Love your guide, but i really recommend striking the icicles with attacks from the keyblade. disabling lock on will help so you dont always strike towards the ice giant. guard just wasnt working for me.
Thank you so much! These are incredibly helpful!!
I really appreciate the amount of effort you put into these videos (which are really useful by the way), thank you.
Thanks so much, Arp! I'm glad they're helpful!
Man I can really manage this boss thanks to you except for the big freeze he always does in the end. Gets me 80% of the time :D
Yeah, that attack is hard to escape unless you can anticipate it early! I'm glad the tutorial was helpful to you! 💙
I was finally able to win after watching this video, thank you so much!
Hooray! Congrats on the win!
No matter how good a guide is, nothing changes the fact that this is one of the worst boss fights ever.
Thx for All guides, Much Love from Germany ❤️🇩🇪
I'm glad you enjoy them, Moshpit! Thanks for watching! 😊
Awesome tutorial. Beat him on my first attempt attempt watching this. (Got my ass handed to me once and decided to leave it alone for a while lol)
Really solid stuff man, hope you continue these vids for the rest of the series
Thanks, Apples! Definitely planning on it. 👍

Hey, Danett! I'm glad you asked. We plan to cover most of these topics in future videos! 👍
This is the most fun fight in the game IMO.
Finally did it! Thank you for the guide 👍
That blizzaga band and ring HELLA expensive lord 😔😔😔😔

You can also use gravity for a bit more damage
I will keep that in mind for my third match against him!
When I was a kid I never realized why the icicles went small to big. I recently replayed it for 100% completion and realized why.
this video is very helpful beat him first try after watching thanks a lot great video I played on the PlayStation years ago never beat him so thanks dude
Thanks dude i beat it not only that but proud mode wow thanks you’re greag
I forgot how much he drove me crazy!!!

This has to be one of the dumbest bosses in the first game. It's so boring and tedious. Good guide though
I never knew the Ice Titan has a name until Lorcana, his name is Hydros
How do you feel after sora made it to smash brothers
