xemnasbane 71 Posted October 2, 2012 Only Proud Mode? This should be easy, especially with TWO Drop Me Not's. Unless you're skipping every single monster and skipping training your Dream Eaters. Otherwise you will never get finished with the game on Standard Mode let alone Proud. If you pre-ordered the game and got R&R Seal then you already have one of the best Dream Eaters in the game. If not find the AR card on Google or something. I recommend at least a L3 Dream Eater ally and you should be at least L4. Hope this helps Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lazyAfternoon 8 Posted October 2, 2012 You guys all seem to ignore the "level one" in the title. Unless "train" and "L4" don't mean what I think =S Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It wasn't explicitly stated, sorry. It just sounded like general "level up and learn how to play the game advice" to me. This wouldn't be wrong, but I remember seeing the original poster's posts about having played through the game 6 times and looking for new challenges. Just wanted to make sure there is no miscommunication and he receives the advice he's looking for. Thanks for clarifying this for me! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kinode 3,056 Posted October 2, 2012 Don't be risky. That's all I can say. And good luck with the Final Bosses. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lazyAfternoon 8 Posted October 2, 2012 Well would it? ;W; Sorry just wonderin if level two sounds as awesome as one.. Well, that's double the level... do you want to be a pro or a scrub? In all seriousness this time though, it's up to you. Level two probably isn't any easier than one, but one just looks a lot cleaner. And to be honest, if that happened to me, I'd restart/reload immediately. Couldn't fall asleep at night knowing about that... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AirbagVII 386 Posted October 3, 2012 (edited) Your best bet to defeat Hockomonkey with these restrictions is to use Ballon and defend/avoid as many attacks as possible. You can also use other commands when you have an opening. You might struggle against Hockomonkey and Wargoyle, but after that you should be good to go (okay, the final bosses may also give you some troubles, but by that time you will have a lot of abilities unlocked). I guess the main problem in the first two worlds will be the lack of good abilities from your Spirits. After leveling your Spirits for a while you should have no further problems. I've just completed KH3D in Critical Mode Level 1 three days ago, so I know what I'm talking about! Edited October 3, 2012 by AirbagVII Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xemnasbane 71 Posted October 5, 2012 Wait I don't get why you want to stay at Level 1/2. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Weiss 8,279 Posted October 5, 2012 Wait I don't get why you want to stay at Level 1/2. It's meant to make the game more challenging. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AirbagVII 386 Posted October 5, 2012 Staying in Level 1 is a restriction that you can apply to your game file, so it can be more challenging to play through the game once again It's a great way to test your limits and it makes you think more carefully on how to approach certain enemies (even regular Dream Eaters). After you beat the game once, you can start a new game and load your previous save file (aka your "complete game save file"). From the many bonuses you obtain by doing this, you also obtain a support ability called "EXP Zero", which prevents you from gaining any EXP. If you activate this ability right at the begining of the game you can stay with Lvl 1 throughout the whole game with both Sora and Riku. As I said, it's a way to test your limits, it's not mandatory. People only activate it if they want to. In my case, I've just completed playing the game in Critical Mode Lvl 1 a few days ago and, even if it was really hard to do so, the challenge and the feeling of completion were great!

Minor thing, but I'm pretty sure I had that ability when I started a completely fresh game on Proud. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Weiss 8,279 Posted October 6, 2012 (edited) They were. What's your point though? My point is that you are correct. You do get proud mode's Zero exp ability on your first playthrough in proud mode. Edited October 6, 2012 by Keysofblades Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lazyAfternoon 8 Posted October 6, 2012 (edited) My point is that you are correct. You do get proud mode's Zero exp ability on your first playthrough in proud mode. I see. Sorry for the confusion. From your previous reply I kind of got the idea you implied I didn't catch what they where talking about while I was just correcting a slight mistake someone made, to avoid misinformation. I don't think of "picking a difficulty" as "unlocking Zero EXP", it's just there from at least Proud. The post I originally quoted made it sound like it was exclusive to Critical, which might be true for other titles, but not for this one. Thanks for your confirmation about the ability.

ApulApul3000 14 Posted March 23, 2014 For LV1 to even be possible, you need to do new game plus. There's no way to beat LV1 without NG+ dream eaters. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
