Given how few spirit eaters there are in the game, and how few you'll actually be able to make during the playthrough due to how many worlds there are, I would tweak just one rule. The one about losing ALL active spirit eaters when Sora or Riku die. I would limit it to just losing one spirit, decided by flipping a coin to see which spirit dies. From a story/roleplay perspective you can say it is one spirit sacrificing their life to resurrect Sora/Riku. This way the player has more lives to work with, as otherwise you only get 4 deaths per character which is really rough.
ive done a kh1 and kh2 keylocke. any time i died (after obtaining a keyblade fully as the protaganist) that keyblade was broken and i couldnt use it the rest of the run.
My only issue with that is in KH1 and 2 the only hard fights in the game were at the beginning when you have like 2 keyblades. Even on the highest difficulty.
@sarahwallace1103 and my first time doing it since I skipped some optional stuff I went into hallow bastion under lvled and only had spell binder and kingdom key left and I ended up losing spellbinding the friend ship speech riku and had to fight warlocke riku with only the kingdom key and that fight was metal as hell... probably my favorite fight in any kingdom hearts game even better then the remaster of it in 3.
@@sarahwallace1103 I disagree. Gigantic Ursula, Riku-Ansem, Dragon Maleficent, Ansem 1 and 2, plus World of Chaos gave me a lot of trouble on my Proud playthrough
Bro, the chirithy part had me dead.💀 Great content, keep it up dude, would love to see more of this or maybe, if the Modder ever decide to do it, a nuzlock *randomizer* of this game.
this is peak adhd where i can just watch a 30 minute video on a game that ive barely heard much about from a series i dont really care much about and enjoy it the entire way through meanwhile with anime i struggle to sit still and watch it no matter how much im enjoying it
If you do this with a friend there should be the stipulation Lord Kyroo is also free like the tutorial Dream Eaters, however only the guy who beats him can use him. That adds the risk of actually dying to one of the secret bosses and potential for collaboration or sabotage.
Start with a save file with all spirits already made, use a random number generator and use the order in the report as the spirits number. Oh and if you die during a drop, you forfeit the spirit for the world you were dropping to.
I really need a soul link from this! Within the proposed rules, if a character loses a spirit created in world x, the other character also loses the spirit created in world x
I feel like this would work better modded. Your dream eaters dying when you die feels too indirect. On top of the randomizer mod, I feel like a mod that redirects fatal damage to one of your dream eaters would make dying feel more connected. At least given how the dream eaters didn't die from dying themselves in battle once.
If you want to randomize, why not randomize? E.g. why not just create a table with the critters available at each world and then just use an out-of-game random number generator to determine which ones you can craft?
I have never thought about trying a challenge like this. My idea for the creating Dream Eaters is that you can only create one of each type of Dream Eater, and you have to use them in the game, regardless of the Dream Eaters level and where you are in the game, as a way to make it possible to lose a low level spirit you just made in a world with high level enemies or bosses.
"Your dream eaters are dead if you fail to revive them" bro that's so eas- "They also die if sora/riku gets ko'd" (suddenly ptsd flashbacks of this games bullsh&t) oh...this is a real challenge..
@nobodydaxion , thank you for the wonderful and amazing idea I definitely will be trying this as a challenge playthrough , never thought about this and I honestly think this was a creative twist for probably one of my favorite KH games in the series next to BBS
In DDD I have never had a Dream Eater go down, the only time I have had one go down was in the Riku vs Ansem fight. That was the only boss I had problems with, and that is were a dream eater fell but since I was barely staying alive I didn't want to go to revive it. That was the first time I found out that they can die.
Yea DDD is probably the only Nuzlockable Kingdom Hearts game since we have the -Dead Keyblade Children- Dream Eaters which substitues pokemons, like we can nickname them, "catch" by crafting them, etc.
Honestly, when playing his first pokemon game, my little brother accidently did a Nuzlocke simply because he did not know how Pokemon Centers worked. (He was 6 at the time so don't bash him, it was his first one)
I think Dream DropLocke could catch on. Also I'm curious how many other fans like this game, because with a few tweaks I think this game could be amazing.
I can't blame you about Sora's Grid Boss; I remember little 8 year old me *NEARLY DESTROYING MY F❌️ING 2DS AFTER MY 5TH DEATH ON DAY 2 OF FIGHTING RINZLER!* The annoying thing was that Riku's fight almost seemed like a walk in the park!
Considering you mentioned mods, you could've downloaded a mod that instantly unlocks Critical Mode automatically. But, being Critical Mode, you take 4x the amount of damage. So, you'd probably lose the challenge during Wargoyle as Sora or Riku.
I'm takin' the challenge for sure in a couple weeks. I got a return challenge for YOU. No vids about it just vods of my attempt but I'm working on rules for an adapted hardcore nuzlocke for KH3
Tbh i thought you were gonna do the rules as Losing a keyblade when you die but that wouldnt be fun cuz you only get one keyblade at the end of the words but this fits
You can Drop mid-boss fight?? 💀 Wtf were they thinking? I always tried to reset my gauge before a boss just incase that was a thing cuz I didn't want to risk it.
How the heck am i not subbed to you!? I love Kingdom Hearts so much. (I also have around 70+ drafrs of Kingdom Hearts fanfics on my Wattpad account and Dream Drop Distance was my first Kingdom Hearts game i played and beat sooo.)
I created a Birth by Sleep nuzlocke, here are the rules if anyone wants to try it Rules No Grinding 1 D-Link/Shotlock per world If you die, you lose the top 2 of your abililtes in your deck Can pick up every chest in every world, but can't use the shop I'm not gonna include the roll the dice mini game cuz I don't do that anyway Also no Mirage Arena For Terra No Counter Hammer For Aqua No Cure Block For Ventus No Tornado or Salvation For all No ultimate shotlock No Break Time You lose the challenge by running out of abilities, NO SHOP, crafting only What do you guys think?
18:16 You should try to fight this guy on Critical mode then. Some of his hits are straight-up one-hit KOs (including some pretty much unreadable attacks) for some ungodly reason. Baloonra is nice, but it's also a huge liability in this fight on Critical, as he can start some of his one-hit KO moves after you start Balloonra and still hit you before you regain control of Sora. You really need to make sure he's tied up in some way if you're gonna use Balloonra. As you so elegantly put it, F*** Rinzler
I so wanna do this sometime! I was testing it out in a vc with friends and my dumb ass decided to go into monstro at level 5 and I lost funny balloonra clown ;w;
This is a cool concept but I don't know how new game+ is with this challenge, is it ok or not since in critical mode playing the game without it is HELL. Would there be like an optional rule then with it where you can use those past dream eaters but only add them per each world or something like that? I'm just curious how new game+ is in this challenge
As an extra challenge, could implement Soul-link rules between Sora/Riku's dream eaters.
I love that idea!
Bro if you did that it'd be impossible for you to use the special portal dream eaters
@@tsyumamatsuthehavenofguard32 Idea: If you find an SP dream eater, you get one free extra dream eater on the other end.
Im surprised no one else has done a nuzlocke on this game until now.
Technically speedrun count but they're not aiming for deathless
It was my idea actually
@@ezrathefirstlionkeybladema4229 🤓
Could do a keylocke for kh3-
That's because people like their sanity in tact

@sarahwallace1103 the early game is definitely a struggle I did deep jungle be4 wonderland just so I had a second life against that Pyro clown.

I've got a Crowd Control KH2 video planned and hopefully a Crowd Control Randomizer stream in the future!
Damn the storytelling, awesome vid madn
Thanks! Storytelling is something I want to try to develop more over time
I love how infamous Alpharad’s nuzlocke has become
this is peak adhd where i can just watch a 30 minute video on a game that ive barely heard much about from a series i dont really care much about and enjoy it the entire way through meanwhile with anime i struggle to sit still and watch it no matter how much im enjoying it
Nuzlocke: limited number of keyblade swings per world
22:50 ..So, Sora plus T-Rex equals pulling a Laharl?
If you do this with a friend there should be the stipulation Lord Kyroo is also free like the tutorial Dream Eaters, however only the guy who beats him can use him. That adds the risk of actually dying to one of the secret bosses and potential for collaboration or sabotage.
Watched the entire thing and I gotta say this is an incredible challenge! I may take your invitation and do this myself! good job dax!
Appreciate it! Feel free to hmu whenever you do take it on!
14:00 pretty annoying right??
Start with a save file with all spirits already made, use a random number generator and use the order in the report as the spirits number. Oh and if you die during a drop, you forfeit the spirit for the world you were dropping to.

Yeah but.. this is meant to be accessible to people and not everyone can/feels comfy modding and stuff
As a Pokemon fan I can tell the "souls of dead children" is like every ghost type. So yeah it is essentially a nuzlocke.
If you want to randomize, why not randomize?
E.g. why not just create a table with the critters available at each world and then just use an out-of-game random number generator to determine which ones you can craft?

GHYATTT DAMN
The 3 musketeers fight theme goes HARD. 21:35
I swear this video is about to make me stream this lol, it looks like a lot of fun and I love DDD
I'm getting flashbacks to me playing this game relentlessly on my 3DS 😊. Good times. Maybe I'll buy it on console and see how it feels.
Yea DDD is probably the only Nuzlockable Kingdom Hearts game since we have the -Dead Keyblade Children- Dream Eaters which substitues pokemons, like we can nickname them, "catch" by crafting them, etc.
That’s awesome
Omg this video was so well done!!
Personally, I may just do one Spirit does on a death but losing both does make it more challenging! Congrats!!
Id love to see Patterrz react to this
I still miss Mr. Penguin 😭😭
Dude this is so good! I'm so tempted to try this myself sometime!
i had goosebumps. Thank u for this video!!
Honestly, when playing his first pokemon game, my little brother accidently did a Nuzlocke simply because he did not know how Pokemon Centers worked. (He was 6 at the time so don't bash him, it was his first one)
I think no-one has had the rescue thing happen more than once in a playthrough. The Dream Eaters are better than Goofy and Donald in that regard.
You can also just let one of them die, then you'll have an empty space in your party.
Bro I can’t wait to do this myself I love how you created this and was wondering the same for myself you are the goat!!!!
We gotta ensure DaxLocke catches on ya’ll
No we don't, it's cringe.
I think Dream DropLocke could catch on.

Um doesn’t Riku die too he’s a dream eater
20:53 fun fact: I had to go back to this part because the way the name sounds. the red text know what up with me 😅
Anyone else find it hilarious that the first image he shows of Nuzelocking is Alpharad and CaptainKidd's Onyx incident?

Why does everyone hates the grid in DDD? The atmosphere and style is so cool.
I used to play dream drop distance on 3Ds until tron world and then delete the save file, new game, and repeat. When I was like, 6
Tbh i thought you were gonna do the rules as Losing a keyblade when you die but that wouldnt be fun cuz you only get one keyblade at the end of the words but this fits
I thought about playing 3D as a Nuzlocke but then I learned that the spirit dream eaters are the hearts of the Dandelions 😅
Thanks for the shout out that was me on gamefaqs who asked
Freakin love it dude
You can Drop mid-boss fight?? 💀 Wtf were they thinking? I always tried to reset my gauge before a boss just incase that was a thing cuz I didn't want to risk it.

No Grinding
1 D-Link/Shotlock per world
If you die, you lose the top 2 of your abililtes in your deck
Can pick up every chest in every world, but can't use the shop
I'm not gonna include the roll the dice mini game cuz I don't do that anyway
Also no Mirage Arena
For Terra
No Counter Hammer
For Aqua
No Cure Block
For Ventus
No Tornado or Salvation
For all
No ultimate shotlock
No Break Time
You lose the challenge by running out of abilities, NO SHOP, crafting only
What do you guys think?
This video has made me want to try it casually, and if it works, I'm gonna make some content on it, and I'll definitely be crediting you for the idea.
I'm doin 1 after the tourney's are done. I'm glad you made this my guy
This came out so good! :D
And next...World of Final Fantasy Maxima! Sora's a summon in that, it counts.
I see you answered the question
Imagine needing the creatures to beat this game,
this channel is gonna blow up lml do ff 13 series next !!
I love this idea, oh my god! You make me wanna play this again LOL
Oh i thought it would have been like you die you lose your current keychain
18:16 You should try to fight this guy on Critical mode then. Some of his hits are straight-up one-hit KOs (including some pretty much unreadable attacks) for some ungodly reason. Baloonra is nice, but it's also a huge liability in this fight on Critical, as he can start some of his one-hit KO moves after you start Balloonra and still hit you before you regain control of Sora. You really need to make sure he's tied up in some way if you're gonna use Balloonra. As you so elegantly put it, F*** Rinzler
Honestly love kh stuff
Excellently done.
Ma now This is interesting
I might do one someday, but I do remember trying put a DDD Nuzlocke on the 3ds back in the 2017
Really cool Category!
The fact that I've seen no one else try this on RUclips is honestly rather disappointing.
Omg the animation when you release a dreameater is quite sad
finally, DDD is good for something
Why do so many people that do nuzlockes forget that grinding is allowed?
This should become an actual thing. I wanna see category rubs asap
DREAMDROP IS MY FAVORITE KH GAME
I have n idea! All i need to do is buy ddd from the eshop and then exacute it.
I'm playing 3D for the first time and I've not once encountered the rescue timer😅
me never knowing dream eaters are literally dead kids omg
Idk if you've played it but what about a world of final fantasy nuzlocke?
Is a Professor Oak Challenge possible for dream drop distance
26:34 you may have forgotten to blip the swear
It was intentional
good, now don it on the original 3ds version. i could do one myself, but im currently on a chromebook and i don't have a capture card.
I so wanna do this sometime! I was testing it out in a vc with friends and my dumb ass decided to go into monstro at level 5 and I lost funny balloonra clown ;w;
Congratulations this is so cool!
Hey man I have a question could use the drop when ever you want. Or do I have to wait for the timer to end for the drop
No one said it.
Why he censored the frogs sword....
Wait, wasnt Julius a fight in Dream Drop Distance? Is it necessary to beat him in order to complete the nuzlock?
He’s a secret boss
This is a cool concept but I don't know how new game+ is with this challenge, is it ok or not since in critical mode playing the game without it is HELL. Would there be like an optional rule then with it where you can use those past dream eaters but only add them per each world or something like that?

Very well done.
Hey wahts the song playing at 14:27 sounds super familiar.
Is the vod gonna be posted 👀
Could you soul link Sora and Riku’s teams? If Sora’s first one dies then so does Riku’s?
I have to try this!!
Now do it baloonless with level caps??
Really wanna do a nuzzlock on this but im soo bad at DDD. I would have to restart a few times 😅
Fantastic video
13:49 f-word montage
7:56 lmao
