KH3D Secret Boss Guide (Easy,Effective & non time-consuming)

[TheDarkFollower 2]

Introduction:

 

This is just another guide on how to beat Julius. However, this guide is somehow different from others

you may have seen. It's based upon a trick that I discovered and correct usage of it can result in an easy

fast victory. Using the trick, I have beaten Julius in less than 20 seconds.

 

Requirements:

• You must have all magic haste abilities
• 6-7 ballons (not baloonra / ballonga)
• 1 Curaga (not really needed but have it in case sth goes wrong)-If equiped set the deck to skip recovery*

Once you have these, it's time for the trick. The trick is to cause Julius NOT BEING ABLE TO ATTACK

while he takes damage continiously.

 

Once the battle starts, start avoiding his attacks.

Be sure to be close to him.

Once he stops, go in fornt of him and quickly start casting balloon.

I you are lucky enough he will be caught in the trap.

Keep casting balloon till the battle is over.

 

 

How it works:

 

Fact : Julius stops attacking for a while if he takes massive damage on his head.

When you cast ballon only 2 of the balloons appearing hit him. Then he tries

to attack but that causes the 3 baloons left to cause massive damage on his head.

Because of that, he stops and it all goes from the begining till the end of the battle.

 

 

Thanks for choosing my guide on how to beat Julius.

Tell me if it worked for you.

I may add a video soon

Level, Keyblade, and Dream Eater Abilities (such as Water Boost) could be helpful here.

Level, Keyblade, and Dream Eater Abilities don't matter because the trick is to cause Julius NOT BEING ABLE TO ATTACK.

They only help beating him faster. Try a keyblade with high magic.

So you felt like telling everyone that the easiest way to kill julius is pretty much the same way to own every other boss in the game

[Nafees Rahman 35]

i could only get like two balloons... howd you get that many? O_O

[KeybladeWielder_ 161]

Awesome. Thankyou

I've had so much trouble to beat him and only managed to finally get him with Riku last night.

I'm going to try this just to get the ultima.

Thanks for posting this strategy, I was able to use it to kill Julius on my Level 1 Critical Mode file.

 

He went down in about 10 minutes with the End of Pain Keyblade, 3 Water Boosts, and 3 Magic Boosts. I suspect he would've gone even faster if I'd been doing it during the Overcast forecast with the LV3 Magic Drop Bonus.

Here are two of my Let's Play videos where I defeat Julius with both Sora and Riku.

And here is my complete Strategy Guide for the fight (you can check it out in the description of both videos).

 

How to Defeat Kingdom Hearts 3D Secret Boss Julius!

 

MY STATS

 

Sora/Riku Level: 50

Keyblade: Divewing

Sora Commands: Balloonra, Balloonra, Balloonra, Firaga Burst, Ars Arcanum,Curaga

Riku Commands: Balloonra, Balloonra, Balloonra, Firaga Burst, Dark Splicer, Curaga

Support Abilities: Second Chance

 

--------------------------------------------------------------

If you're having difficulties with your HP, I recommend you to bring 2 healing commands (another Cura or Curaga, or even Hi-Potions will do the trick).

Besides that, I also recommend you to have the "Once More" Ability (I didn't have this ability back when I defeated him, otherwise, the fight would have been easier).

Dark Roll is an action command that you should equip Riku with.

--------------------------------------------------------------

 

Strategy:

 

Julius can be hard the first time you try defeating him. But if you know how to predict his attacks, the whole challenge will be gone and the fight turns to be really easy actually.

There's no special technique to defeat him (knowing his attack pattern is the best strategy in my opinion)...

 

But for this Boss Fight, I'm going to use the Balloon Method (I used Balloonra, but you can also bring Balloon or Balloonga if you have these commands).

These commands will deal a lot of damage, with no effort at all, so if you know when to use them, you will beat him with ease.

 

To start off, here are the attacks he can use:

 

-Punching Combo: he'll start punching everything around him;

-Grabbing Attack: he grabs you and either Poisons or Confuses you;

-Crushing Attack: he'll try to crush you with his whole body, when you're close to him;

-Running Attack: he starts running all over the place and deals a lot of damage;

-Body Slam: this attack looks like some kind of wrestling technique;

-Building Jumper: he'll jump to a building nearby, and then tries to slam you repeatedly to the ground (this attack can sometimes block your commands);

-Electrical Rage: he'll start using this technique when half of his HP is depleted. All of his attacks become even more powerful (try to have healing commands available by that time).

 

My strategy consists in using the Balloonra commands every time there's a chance to do it, without taking any damage. I prefer to use the Balloonra when: I'm far away from him; he stops moving or when he tries to use his Body Slam attack. Sometimes, I also use Firaga Burst and Ars Arcanum, but it can be really risky if you don't time it well.

Other than that, I just keep avoiding or blocking some of his attacks and using Counter Rush/Counter Aura.

 

A good way to deal easy damage with Counter Rush/Aura is to block his Punching Combo. The best way to do it is to start blocking, by the time he starts his second punch, and then using the Counter Rush/Aura. If you're really close to Julius and you start blocking right away, chances are he will still get you and deal a lot of damage.

After blocking a series of Punching Combos, Julius will stop moving. That's your chance to get him and use some more Balloonra!

 

When he uses Body Slam, dodge right away and use another Balloonra command.

 

Avoid his Grabbing Attack at all costs!!! When you're confused, all controls are inverted and it's really hard to avoid his attacks.

 

If you stay away from him, his Crushing Attack shouldn't be a problem for you.

 

Besides that, I don't recommend you to go to higher places, because that will trigger more often his Building Jumper Attack, which can knock you out really easily (it also blocks some of your commands).

 

His Running Attack his invincible, so blocking won't help you. I found out that running in an opposite direction will be more effective to avoid it, than rather dodging or using Sonic Impact.

 

Things can get really rough when half of his HP is depleted. He'll start using Electrical Rage, which is really hard to avoid. You probably will get some damage, so I recommend you to have a healing command available, by that time. From there on, he will have electricity around his body, making his attacks even more powerful. A simple Grabbing or Crushing Attack can launch a spark right at you (even if you're keeping some distance), so be careful.

After some time, the electricity should disappear, but if you don't manage to beat him fast, he may use his Electrical Rage once again.

 

If you manage to defeat him, you'll be rewarded with the "Ultima Weapon" Keyblade.
