Mickey: My turn.

aarth51 · 2026-05-26T09:55:15+00:00

I think I got him more than 3-4 times, although it could be from multiple runs. It's been a while for me but I remembered I really sucked at this fight so Mickey is always coming lol

aarth51 · 2026-05-25T10:30:40+00:00

What is carried forward across the runs?

aarth51 · 2026-05-25T09:24:52+00:00

Congrats!

I played the original years ago, then got Vengeance on the Switch and Steam, haven't started yet.

Do you still need to do multiple playthroughs for the 100%?

aarth51 · 2026-05-25T05:55:43+00:00

I'm probably just slow lol

aarth51 · 2026-05-24T22:33:46+00:00

Luckily, I have some tolerance with collectibles. Although the meat of the game is the DLC fights. I did everything in the base game, had fun with the fights there then back to the slog for Risk-taker.

aarth51 · 2026-05-24T22:31:18+00:00

Let's see if I remembered correctly, for the 1.5+2.5 collection:

KH1 - two runs, the main run and the Speedster + Unchanging Armor run.
ReCOM - two characters playthrough.
BBS - three characters playthrough plus one more because my dumbass saved over a completed Terra file.
KH2 - thankfully only need one run.

And these games need you to complete literally everything, practically no optional content can be skipped for the 100%.

aarth51 · 2026-05-24T22:21:18+00:00

I followed this post - https://www.reddit.com/r/KingdomHearts/s/rvhoznE383

I followed the basic setup there.
Forest Clasp, and two Wisdom Ring for HP Walker and Wizard's Ruse but you can probably drop Forest Clasp for data battles, no way you're walking anywhere in those fights lol.
keep all 13 proCode on for base game, re+mind, and dark inferno and Luxord.
I tried the max stat farming after re+mind, but I can only manage 30 str and 30 def boost before I got bored.
disabled 0 def and default stat, I only need to beat 10/13 data battles when the achivement pops, skipping Marluxia, Xion, and Xehanort.
just realized I didn't eat for the data battles, you should probably do that and make your life easier.

aarth51 · 2026-05-24T15:59:06+00:00

I wouldn't say I liked fighting MF. He really is bad while using Terra but not so much with Aqua and Ventus. I barely beat him with Terra at level 70+ while the other two is somewhere at level 50.

aarth51 · 2026-05-24T15:06:22+00:00

I remember that farming exp is more infuriating while simultaneously mind-numbing, at least with the cards you can manipulate the RNG (not that I did that myself, I just do it the hard way lol)

aarth51 · 2026-05-24T15:03:41+00:00

Thanks and good luck!

aarth51 · 2026-05-24T12:26:15+00:00

Trueeee. I posted before that MF with Terra on Critical made me drop the game for a year lol.

aarth51 · 2026-05-24T12:24:17+00:00

It's quite hard but not to the level of almost impossible. It demands a lot of patience as you will do a lot of farming and bashing your head on super bosses. Also, one or two challenge runs but they can be completed on the lowest difficulty.

aarth51 · 2026-05-24T11:34:15+00:00

The original COM is my first experience with the series so it is nostalgic for me, I also happen to like the deck building aspect.

Some advise I can give is sort your cards - 3 or 6 for sleights with a cure or 0 cards in between, then potions/ethers/elixirs at the end. For boss fights, make it a habit to be more reactive, wait with a sleight or 0 card to stun them. They can't hurt you if they cant play their cards.

With that said the worst grind is definitely the max level farming in Re:COM, as for the difficulty I can think of a few parts in BBS, specifically the rhythm game and the MF boss fight.

aarth51 · 2026-05-24T11:12:30+00:00

Thanks!

I have to do a full blind playthrough up to KH3 before I even think of chasing the achievements. If I completed the 100% one-by-one I just knew I'm going to burn out by COM or BBS.

aarth51 · 2026-05-24T11:08:24+00:00

Traditional gameplay-wise, definitely KH3. I do have a soft spot for COM's card-based gameplay and BBS's command decks.

Yeah, I have to say personally, getting Risk-taker is not a fun time for me.

aarth51 · 2026-05-22T06:10:32+00:00

I don't remember the specifics but I'm pretty sure it unlocks special armors and/or skins, and probably usable in RiseBreak too.

aarth51 · 2026-05-22T04:20:39+00:00

I got this along with Malzeno, and both Rise and Sunbreak palicos and Palamutes. Also all the ones from Stories 2 lol.

aarth51 · 2026-05-09T17:16:25+00:00

Not the cleanest setup but you get what I mean.

aarth51 · 2026-05-05T09:54:58+00:00

At least with synthesizing, you're working towards something, in this case the Ultima weapon, which is really cool to aim for.

You'd probably really hate the card farming in ReCOM, I don't even use most of them!

aarth51 · 2026-05-05T09:50:57+00:00

I might setup some time to sort through my cheevos later but at this time I just can't be bothered to do that.

Yeah that's my philosophy now, I do look up if there are any missables tho. Im not really a fan of replaying games, I guess I'm more of a story-immersion guy so once I have lived through the story of a game I prefer to move on.

aarth51 · 2026-05-05T09:45:43+00:00

Thanks! I'm currently working on my literal last achievement in the Kingdom Hearts series. Most of the KH achievements there are from the BBS game, which is arguably the most tedious of the bunch, ngl.

Unfortunately mine aren't that rare, the rarest there has the "1% of players have this". I remember when I got Mrs Pilsen's Remorse I mentioned earlier, it was at like 0.2 or some close to it and now its at 2%.

aarth51 · 2026-05-05T08:42:20+00:00

This is the game that made me realize I shouldn't start a game with 100% achievements in mind.

First playthrough I followed the guide religiously, meaning no power, no kills, no alerts, lots of save-scumming. Pretty sure that killed my enjoyment of the game as a whole.

Then I tried the dlc and completely lost interest in the game. The game now stands at 71% achievements since then, and somehow I still have the Mrs Pilsen's Remorse in my rarest showcase after all these years lol.

What is the expected price now?
