OR for the Master Form farming, let the Gamblers turn you into a dice. Even if by accident, I found that your form gauge does reset to max time after you revert back to human. It's what I am doing right now and is working great.
So I decided to replay this game on Critical Mode because I wanted to challenge myself a bit, and also do everything there was to do this time around! I always had issues with leveling up Simmons and Drives in the past, and then I came across your video. Timesaver indeed!! Thanks so much for the awesome tips!!!!!
Really appricate this guide. I remember paying KH2 as a kid and having to figure out everything myself. What I did was just level Valor, Wisdom, and Master form going throughout Timeless River and then leveled Final Form in The World that Never Was. I think I just leveled summons over time but didn't really use any besides Genie.
I’m doing this now for the final stretch of secret bosses . Thanks ! Also the commentary is good you have great prose energy and I can tell you love the game
Btw if you go to Olympus Coliseum and enter the Cerberus Cup for a second and quickly leave that brings up your gauge. I did that for the final form. Felt it was the easiest way to keep leaving get it back up all the way then go back and fight.
I was doing the method and anti sora just pulled up on ya boi... put a stop to everything. Thanks for the video man! It's really well done, definitely dropping a sub
This actually did help! The only thing I did differently was leveling my Master Form in a different way. In the Cavern of Remembrance, there's those colored orbs that drop drive orbs whenever you hit them. I just beat the shit out of the first 3 while in Master Form, netting me at least over 100 XP for my form each run. It's not efficient, but it's the best way someone who isnt good at fighting the Gambler Nobodies can do :P
If you're at twtnw you can use the shadows that spawn at the beginning of the world to level up wisdom crazy fast. They spawn often and are easy to kill. Entering the alley to between instantly refills your drive gauge and entering and exiting the portal to betwixed and between respawns the heartless so you never have to use the save point.
@@MissildineOnline yeah I saw that. Thought there might have been some kind of drawback to using that method because I don't see people talk about it that much but other than the shadow's annoying ass ablility to become invincible for a few seconds it's almost perfect.
Fyi - if you fail a game in the tower when working on Master form, you will become a dice or card for the duration of 1 drive. When that form is over, your master form will return at full drive. This will save you a few trips to the world map
Thanks for the video! I got everything maxed out now. For the final form, I found it faster to stay in the Proof of Existence room and go back and forth between the 2 available graves after you defeat the bosses in them. It was alot shorter route and got like 12-15 enemies on each run. EIther way it is very tedious lol
I was a little confused about the save point, but I figured it out. So be in drive form then go to world map then come back and save then return to the world you where at and everytime you come back to work you have full everything
no. everytime you leave an area that forces you to be removed from fighting whilst your in a drive form, it takes you out and gives full drive back. all you have to do is be in a drive form, leave the world through save zone and reenter with full drive. another thing to note is if you mess up doing this, go to olympus, go into a cup and immediately leave. this will fill everything up. cannot train there though as get no xp. another thing to note, is if you use gull wing, you get 100% more xp for being under 50% hp. this includes leveling up drive forms. if your at end game on normal or critical and willing to risk it, you can start at very top. go into next room, get less than 50% hp whilst in a form and travel down the tower. the xp youd get is immense. other places to level up are pre roxas heartless as there is loads, valour form levels up quick. limit can go back a screen and it takes you out of the form and immediately go to save to get mp back and repeat, can do it before enemies as well 100% guaranteeing no anti form.
@@derpus78 Your forms can level up to the amount of forms you have. So if you haven't unlocked final form yet, your max level for all forms will be 6 until you aquire it.
One general tip I came to realize during the grind, even if it is obvious in hindsight. Make sure you actually save at the save point when you return from the world map. You will inevitably enter anti form at some point and it will reset your drive guage even if you exit the world right away. Saving will let you keep it.
Haven't watched the video yet but the palace in Mulan, in that hallway outside the throne room they spawn the horse heartless that give out the large drive orbs. Atleast 5-7 spawn there everytime and they all drop a couple big orbs so that's like atleast 12 big orbs and they all count as 3 so that's like 36 orbs right there. For master form I just kept running back and forward out around the palace and got myself leveled up a couple times in a half hour. Make sure drive charge I think it's called is on, the ability to charge drive while your mp is used. That's a real life saver and makes it quick to charge your drive back up. Just run to the courtyard heal yourself so your drive charge is on then fight and get your drive back up then head back in the palace and use master form on the horse heartless. Rinse and repeat for as long as you can till you get to bored of it.
@@MissildineOnline I actually didn't know about the drive trick u mentioned in the video. So after I watched your video and learned you can go to world map while in drive form and comeback down with full drive I took your tip and used it at for the hallway outside the throne room in Mulan. And wow. It worked so much faster then going outside to fight and recharge because the save point is literally right on the other side of door in the throne room so it makes recharging drive even faster then the valor/limit mushroom spot in agrabah. My master leveled from 6 to 7 in only 10min which is pretty crazy cuz 6 to 7 is the highest amount of orbs and i had just got 6 when i watched this video so I got like 400 orbs in only 10min.
@@MissildineOnline I also did what u said and put on sweet memories, lucky lucky, jackpot,draw and drive converter and It was over so quick. Each horse heartless starting dropping like 4 or 5 orbs each instead of 2 and combined with the world map drive trick I literally knocked out hundred of orbs in less then 10min. By far that room outside the throne room is the best for master form. It's just so quick to recharge because its so close to the save spot it makes recharging basically instantaneous and gives out so much orbs each time when everything is equipped. The spot in yen sid castle is great to but u gotta check out the spot I'm talking about with all those abilities on and sweet memories. It's ridiculous
If anybody is like me and has been losing drive gauges regularly due to Anti-Sora (or whatever reason) go to the UnderDrome and enter Cerberus cup. It refills it automatically.
Another way I level up Wisdom form is that go to the starting area at The World That Never Was and just kill all the Shadows there. In the same area, your party members actually leave the party and recover your drive gauge as you're about to run out.
I leveled Sora at the yen sid tower, Put on Gullwing and put on exp boost let the nobodies hit you until critical health and just go off on the damn Nobodies. Eventually Final Form will go out but make sure that donald and goofy can't heal you so take off all items and donald cure and just go up and down the tower until you are satisfied.
The World that Never Was is MUCH better for this. The tower ramps and close fighting quarters make it a little unsafe on Critical Mode - and one trip through the castle can easy net you a level from 97-99. Higher from more! I'll have a leveling SORA video later - this one is meant for drive forms.
I like to do it in Pride Lands with low health and than move on to Twilight Town because that nobodies are easy there and give you a ton of health. By level 55 you can borderline one shot them with Magnaga
Wisdom isnt too bad to grind early in beasts castle once you have the west wing section cleared and have access to that hallways and the surrounding area.
These are great, my only bit of advice is max limit form outside of Merlin's. As you can pop your limit, run out of MP, go inside Merlin's to the save point and get a quick fill on MP and repeat until you're almost out of Drive Meter. Then leave the map, come back repeat. At later levels and with MP items you can get up to about 9 limits done before needing to reset making it MUCH faster.
Oh and if you're grinding and want to avoid antisora while leveling all forms, just level whatever form that isn't final a little bit and than go to the TWTNW and level final form a few times. Final form reduces the anti-counter by alot and if I remember correctly it's impossible to turn into antiform threw final.
I had drive converter unlocked and just repeatingy did the Land of Dragons starting from the palace save to level up Masters form. Got it from level 3 to max in less than 15 minutes because enemies drop so many orbs. And if you have the ability that makes the drive form end slower, you can go through the entire world in Master Form defeating enemies (coughspammangetcough) and level up even quicker by getting to the save near the mountain before your gauge ends.
I think the "going to world map to recharge drive gauge" was patched in the 1.5+2.5 versions. I'm on Xbox and it won't work for me. edit: nvm thats on me. cant let the drive run out before exiting
I want to share an important detail about Wisdom Form. I noticed that sometimes the experience gains are inconsistent, so I tried a little experiment. I tried with only Shoot and got no experience for it. Then I tried again with only magic, namely Thundaga, and got tons of experience - 14 - 20 per trip to Mickey's House.
An on the topic of final form again, if anyone don't want to wait to get that far Yen SIDS Tower is great for Final Form. Magnaga can one shot all of them by the time you're leveled in your 50s
i did limit in the first heartless spawn in Fragment crossing going back and forth killing heartless and going back to the alley, jumping to the world menu when out of heartless in that first spot and master for people who dont have the tower unlocked yet, go to the Usual spot spawn in Twilight Town and head to tunnel entrance 3 that’s nearby and there will be two gamblers in there. not as fast as the tower but it’s a lot better than going to the “suggested” land of dragons
I actually found another good place to farm for Drive Orbs, the Borough. All the enemies located there, in the late stage, will drop a ton of them. I manage to gain at least 100 drive orbs every time I make a run through the whole area, and that is only with Sweet Memories equipped on me.
What i ended up doing mostly was farming in timeless river. I just used oathkeeper and or the tron keyblade/chain (thunder bonus) and just spammed that. I cycled through each room (which improved my skill at the combat as well) then whenever i wanted MP or HP i just went back to entrance save point and recharchged it (and saving if i felt like it). Did this until I capped all except final and limit to 6 then when i got final I lvld all of old ones to 7, final to 7 then limit to 7 using the organization mushroom at agrabah. Save point exploit obviously can speed this up insane amount but didnt know about it until final form lvling. Luckily i did really need the combat practice because im bad. On the final form lvling you can just use the middle save point between top and the entrance to the castle. Then eventually drive form will last long enough with abilities unlocks (you have to enable) to go all the way down the castle over and over and just using save point to reset drive and go back to top.
Another good place to level up Wisdom Form World that Never Was in the first part of the world which takes place in the streets since there is nothing but Shadows there, however this is only useful prior to completing the game as they will be replaced by Nobodies post-game.
@@MissildineOnline Still think it is Xemnas because I usually train Final Form to LV. 3 before facing Xigbar, Luxord, and Saix, then I train it to LV. 5 before I fight Xemnas, and that also includes completing Wisdom Form's training with this method so it can be done quicker.
Just want to point out that in Limit Form you lose drive gauge from landing hits so you should actually avoid using the Sonic Rave ON the Mushroom. Once you press triangle to start the fight you can then run up on the stairs and just do the Sonics there right at the door tot he save point. Might sound nitpicky but those hits add up and elongate the time and effort to max out Limit. Also like a guy said lower down, if you suck at the Gambler minigame you can grind Master Form using the orbs in the Cavern of Remembrance, just start jump across the pillars to avoid fighting and smack the two orbs at the quick run gap obstacle then grab the first red one on your way back up the ladder. And while The World That Never Was is fine for levelling Final. Twilight Town's mansion is also a viable option because the saves are so close you dont have to panic about losing your drive like you do grinding Creepers on the Stairway in the Castle That Never Was.
I disagree with most of this - minus the Sonic Rave on the mushroom. I found that people were struggling with the correct positioning on the stairs, so hitting the mushroom is fine. In total you lose about, 2 minutes? Maybe less. An attack or so every Drive Gauge
@@MissildineOnline Not really sure what you mean by "positioning on the stairs" you just walk up there there isnt a perfect spot or anything lol. It just lets you do the Sonic without losing gauge from hits and leaves right at the door to go back out. And yeah you are right that the time is minimal at least on the PS4 but on the PS3 the load times are so bad that every little optimization adds up BIG. Load times alone prolong the total of grinding everything to get 100% on the PS3 by an hour or two without optimizations. You're totally right that the difference between the Gamblers and the CoR orbs is pretty big but honestly its still pretty fast, just not instantaneous like the Gambler/Drive Converter strat. Final Form is honestly truly a preference, if you route the Twilight Mansion correctly you can get levels, synth, and Final ground out pretty fast. The guys who speedrun KH2FM 100% use the mansion for leveling Final because there are more Dusks and less Adv Nobodies that chew up time and effort.
@@MissildineOnline It might be down to direction of travel. I know it sounds weird but in my own time doing the mansion grinding route I've found that for some reason going from the White Room to the Computer Room is somehow slower than going from the Computer Room to the White Room. I think A LOT of it comes down to personal preferences and play style. Something I've always liked about KH's gameplay, there isnt usually one right answer but several options.
before i leveled the limit form at the mushroom in agrabah i used the 1000 heartless in hollow bastion aka radiant garden got it from level 1 to level 5 with a specific ability-setup so that i can quickly get the drive gaige fast to 4 points
i did final form a bit quicker. in twilight town mansion near white room do this get out. walk over half the balcony drop down. kill near middle. jump up to white room. u get like 10-20 kills depending on how big ur bar is. if u can spare it. before u hop back up enter the room there it has gamblers. so for master that room might also be better if u cant get to yensids tower.
Hello! So I stumbled around your video and I want to level up valor The thing is the mushroom in cave of wonders inside we’re the mushroom is and I use valor (yes I have goofy not Aladdin) when I do my hit air combos and also my low ones sora always falls and I have to start over. After that I leave the world and come back (Yes before my drive lowers to zero I go to the save point and leave the word) It seem to not work for me?? I been doing it for a hour and valor seem to be super stubborn to level up am I doing something wrong? (P.s I’m at the end of the game stuck on roxas)
Quick tip for people: you can also use timeless river for valor and limit You have the added benefit of getting munny and exp. Its much more efficient since you only have to walk thru a door and back in. I recommend summons on the mushroom tho. For valor just beat the shit out of stuff For limit, use one sonic rave. Stand still, get hit a bunch. Since you have mp rage, you’ll regenerate some mp. Using limits also heal your hp, so you can do this over and over again. You can easily get 3 limits off. Eventually you’ll be able to get 3-5 raves, maybe even more. (Btw i got about 3 levels in limit while doing this in the 1000 heartless fight fyi) I think the limit form one is much better like this. Valor is debatable but this method is 10x better.
Been tryna level up this limit form for a hour and a half straight doing the same method and I’ve only leveled up once… I’m so frustrated spamming this damn mushroom
One thing I truly hate that ruins this whole thing harshly is when Sora turns Anti Form randomly when I'm trying to level up my other forms. Then when you go to world map and back to Agrabah, it doesn't reset the gauge. Sad day for a KH player.
My gauge don't refill with the save trick. No biggie, cause in the Treasure Room. If limit (pain in the ***) You can revert or whatever. Finish him off. And he drops a good amount of stuff. So by the time your maxed, you have like 5 billion tents and stuff lol
Bc im having trouble making progress in the world that never was i just grinded final form in yen sid’s tower bc its like 15xp at level one and at level 5 its 30 in 3min
I prefer to go to the cavern of remembrance entrance, go into master form, heal, smack the drive orb dispenser, leave, go to the world map, go back to the save point, rinse and repeat
@@MissildineOnline Ahhh, right thanks. Figured it out eventually when I remembered from my previous playthrough that there are 2 Xemnas fights. Now I'm on Dream Drop Distance (2.8).
Dude, I don't know what you're talking about. The drive gauge does not automatically reload when you go to the world map and return. I have to hit every time to reload.
I'm not sure why you are having that issue, I'd have to see it. You can't let the drive run out before leaving - you must still be in the form. I'm guessing that's the issue!
@@MissildineOnline it's whatever. I'm getting it done still. took longer than expected, mostly because my game messed up and the 'b' button wouldn't work so I had to force quit and start over. Still got wisdom and valor fully maxed and halfway through with limit.
@@xeniamartin5297 yeah just make sure you are going to the world map while you are IN the drive - if it depletes before you go to the world map it's gone. Glad you are getting it done though!
Yeah - totally meant Strike Raid. I was just using footage though, doesn't change the guide haha (9 gauges, not 9 levels - in case anyone is reading this)
For valor wisdom master and limit, i usually go to beast's Castle in late game. Wisdom and matter can easily abuse the hell out of reflect and everything there drops tons of drive orbs. With valor i just power through everything and with limit i just use allot of tents. It's more fun this way. You get tons of drive recoveries and tents from Black mushrooms and you need to do those for synthesis anyways
faster? maybe. more fun? definitely not. pluss you dont level sora at all and you get no drops. to each their own at that point i guess. id personally rather have fun running around killing heartless than to spam X for an hour (or however long it takes). i will however be using this for summons because i hate summons in this game. thanks for the tip on that ^_^
You have to beat the lingering will in Disney Castle after finishing the game He’s so fucking hard tho , you have to level up to 99 get the ultima weapon etc...
@@makayla5570 not sure if you have managed to do this, so just some advice. if you get fenrir from seperoph and negative combo. make it so you have one jumping finisher. as the fight starts, immediately use comet from donald. when it finishes lingering will should have just got hit into air. jump and hit him with single finisher. land jump finisher. you can do this in defiantly till he is dead. also you crown pieces from data orgs, lingering will and doing all fireworks for mushroom organisation 13. you get a 'proof' from each giving a upgrade to the crown. bronze, silver and gold. good luck with data orgs.
Missildine online, if u see this, please answer my question, how do u get final form, i cant figure out how, please let me know, i beat the game around the level 43, but still dont have the final form, ive seen that video but still dont have it
Juanita Hartley If you are still confused the way to get final form is to equip the two become one keyblade and go into any drive form you like. What should happen is that you might turn into anti form or into final form. The best area to do this in is the Cerberus cup In Olympus coliseum. If you don’t get it the first time you can exit and try again. I hope this helps!
I have a question. I am trying to level up my limit form and I am doing like in the video but the reaction command isn't lit up when I start either sonic rave or last arcanum on the mushroom in the treasure room on agrabah. I am not locked on, start the battle, go into limit form, activate sonic rave and mash 'Y' (Xbox) and nothing happens. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
Valor form 1:20
Summon 2:25
Limit form 3:25
Wisdom form 4:30
Master form 5:40
Final form 7:45
You're a beautiful person. Thanks for this. 😄
you gorgeous human being
Wisdom form is the best form.
when you've leveled all forms:
safest for sure@@ArcaniaSkyPiratesDen9516
OR for the Master Form farming, let the Gamblers turn you into a dice. Even if by accident, I found that your form gauge does reset to max time after you revert back to human. It's what I am doing right now and is working great.
Yup! That works as well! Also my bad for not including that - could have sworn I did!
I noticed that by accident also
So TLDR: Drive getting low during Master farm, cube mode, Drive reset.
So I decided to replay this game on Critical Mode because I wanted to challenge myself a bit, and also do everything there was to do this time around! I always had issues with leveling up Simmons and Drives in the past, and then I came across your video. Timesaver indeed!! Thanks so much for the awesome tips!!!!!

Missildine Online!
I might be stupid I know how to check my status for the drive form but how can you tell if your about to reach the next level
Sure did man !
When I activate my form, my health gets full again. Why does this happen?
Holy shit. Bless you for this video. Br; a noob
I’m doing this now for the final stretch of secret bosses . Thanks ! Also the commentary is good you have great prose energy and I can tell you love the game
This video was super helpful to leveling up the Drive Forms. I was trying to grind to level them up but this made it ridiculously easy.
Btw if you go to Olympus Coliseum and enter the Cerberus Cup for a second and quickly leave that brings up your gauge. I did that for the final form. Felt it was the easiest way to keep leaving get it back up all the way then go back and fight.
When I was younger, I got there pretty quick leveling in Land of Dragons and Beast Castle with Master Form
Love your videos man, you deserve more subs
Thank you!! Tell some friends ;)
Stitch and firaga work great for me keep going between gauges points

Hey! Glad you enjoyed! I'm not done with this series - I took a hiatus just based on time and my poor time management haha
lolol no worries! Still an awesome series. you helped me out with some of those stupid hard boss fights... umm Roxas mostly
I was a little confused about the save point, but I figured it out. So be in drive form then go to world map then come back and save then return to the world you where at and everytime you come back to work you have full everything

another thing to note, is if you use gull wing, you get 100% more xp for being under 50% hp. this includes leveling up drive forms.
if your at end game on normal or critical and willing to risk it, you can start at very top. go into next room, get less than 50% hp whilst in a form and travel down the tower. the xp youd get is immense.

Thank you--I've been needing this! Got my Valor leveled all the way thanks to your quick tip on the Agrabah.

To avoid Anti-Form, you need to change form before going into battle..I found that technique effective

Eventually Final Form will go out but make sure that donald and goofy can't heal you so take off all items and donald cure and just go up and down the tower until you are satisfied.
The World that Never Was is MUCH better for this. The tower ramps and close fighting quarters make it a little unsafe on Critical Mode - and one trip through the castle can easy net you a level from 97-99. Higher from more!
I'll have a leveling SORA video later - this one is meant for drive forms.
I know but thank you for making these videos
Idiot we didn’t come here for your advice
I like to do it in Pride Lands with low health and than move on to Twilight Town because that nobodies are easy there and give you a ton of health. By level 55 you can borderline one shot them with Magnaga
Great video. Thanks so much for the tips and tricks. Its greatly appreciated.
Wisdom isnt too bad to grind early in beasts castle once you have the west wing section cleared and have access to that hallways and the surrounding area.
That's a great spot too!
These are great, my only bit of advice is max limit form outside of Merlin's. As you can pop your limit, run out of MP, go inside Merlin's to the save point and get a quick fill on MP and repeat until you're almost out of Drive Meter. Then leave the map, come back repeat. At later levels and with MP items you can get up to about 9 limits done before needing to reset making it MUCH faster.
I've actually done this test and didn't find it faster. I guess results may vary!
@@MissildineOnline gotta love those varying results XD
Oh and if you're grinding and want to avoid antisora while leveling all forms, just level whatever form that isn't final a little bit and than go to the TWTNW and level final form a few times. Final form reduces the anti-counter by alot and if I remember correctly it's impossible to turn into antiform threw final.
Yup - mentioned that as well! Final Form resets anti
Great video man. Keep it up.
Great video thanks so much
My pleasure!! Glad it could help!
@@MissildineOnline bro you cut my time down to one solid night of grinding thought it was gonna take me a week.
@@domwalker6526 hell yeah!! It's a super quick grind if you know what you are doing!
@@MissildineOnline the master form tip was next level. Just chilled in there like 20-30 mins
Ik this is a old video but just started playing kh2 again and this video save me so much time than other limit videos
I had drive converter unlocked and just repeatingy did the Land of Dragons starting from the palace save to level up Masters form. Got it from level 3 to max in less than 15 minutes because enemies drop so many orbs. And if you have the ability that makes the drive form end slower, you can go through the entire world in Master Form defeating enemies (coughspammangetcough) and level up even quicker by getting to the save near the mountain before your gauge ends.
Nice! Land of Dragons is great - but the Gamblers are SO much faster if you are at that point!
Ur my fav UA-cam guy
You're my favorite UA-cam comment
I think the "going to world map to recharge drive gauge" was patched in the 1.5+2.5 versions. I'm on Xbox and it won't work for me.
edit: nvm thats on me. cant let the drive run out before exiting
It took me awhile to realize that too lmao
Beautiful guide, thank you
I want to share an important detail about Wisdom Form. I noticed that sometimes the experience gains are inconsistent, so I tried a little experiment. I tried with only Shoot and got no experience for it. Then I tried again with only magic, namely Thundaga, and got tons of experience - 14 - 20 per trip to Mickey's House.
Try farming drive orbs at land of dragons!
only good for early game - not end game!
moon tower better
8:10 you don't get final form from the boss video that appears in the corner, you get it from the bosss before it
Hm? Which video did I link?
It can be obtained randomly anytime after defeating Roxas. It's not from a boss.
@@MissildineOnline Xigbar fight
@@alfredocha3886 ah! that video just contains that fight - it starts right after the Roxas fight/scenes!
Thank you for this tip
Now this... is epic "subscribed btw :)" thanks dude!
Thank you so much!!
LOL got done finishing Kingdom hearts 1. Hopefully 2.5 fix some of the problems in 1
I get that! Personally, I've played Kingdom Hearts 2 and Birth by Sleep. So far they all seem to be much easier than the first one.
Florence Rabiniwentz good to know 👍
2.5 on Critical is WORLDS harder than 1 on Proud Mode, but the combat is also much much better in 2 so it works out nicely! Have fun
You joke about the metric buttload thing but honestly it is a real measurement to measure liquor.
That's a full butt
An on the topic of final form again, if anyone don't want to wait to get that far Yen SIDS Tower is great for Final Form. Magnaga can one shot all of them by the time you're leveled in your 50s
I believe I mentioned that in this video!
i did limit in the first heartless spawn in Fragment crossing going back and forth killing heartless and going back to the alley, jumping to the world menu when out of heartless in that first spot
and master for people who dont have the tower unlocked yet, go to the Usual spot spawn in Twilight Town and head to tunnel entrance 3 that’s nearby and there will be two gamblers in there. not as fast as the tower but it’s a lot better than going to the “suggested” land of dragons
Thank you for this video.
This dude is the 🐐
I actually found another good place to farm for Drive Orbs, the Borough. All the enemies located there, in the late stage, will drop a ton of them. I manage to gain at least 100 drive orbs every time I make a run through the whole area, and that is only with Sweet Memories equipped on me.
I just defeated him after 10000 tries and you video help me so much
What i ended up doing mostly was farming in timeless river. I just used oathkeeper and or the tron keyblade/chain (thunder bonus) and just spammed that. I cycled through each room (which improved my skill at the combat as well) then whenever i wanted MP or HP i just went back to entrance save point and recharchged it (and saving if i felt like it). Did this until I capped all except final and limit to 6 then when i got final I lvld all of old ones to 7, final to 7 then limit to 7 using the organization mushroom at agrabah. Save point exploit obviously can speed this up insane amount but didnt know about it until final form lvling. Luckily i did really need the combat practice because im bad. On the final form lvling you can just use the middle save point between top and the entrance to the castle. Then eventually drive form will last long enough with abilities unlocks (you have to enable) to go all the way down the castle over and over and just using save point to reset drive and go back to top.
Another good place to level up Wisdom Form World that Never Was in the first part of the world which takes place in the streets since there is nothing but Shadows there, however this is only useful prior to completing the game as they will be replaced by Nobodies post-game.
Not even post game - post a specific boss!
@@MissildineOnline SImple, prior to defeating Xemnas
@@tylercamp8808 I'm fairly sure its Saix?
@@MissildineOnline Still think it is Xemnas because I usually train Final Form to LV. 3 before facing Xigbar, Luxord, and Saix, then I train it to LV. 5 before I fight Xemnas, and that also includes completing Wisdom Form's training with this method so it can be done quicker.
Just want to point out that in Limit Form you lose drive gauge from landing hits so you should actually avoid using the Sonic Rave ON the Mushroom. Once you press triangle to start the fight you can then run up on the stairs and just do the Sonics there right at the door tot he save point. Might sound nitpicky but those hits add up and elongate the time and effort to max out Limit.
Also like a guy said lower down, if you suck at the Gambler minigame you can grind Master Form using the orbs in the Cavern of Remembrance, just start jump across the pillars to avoid fighting and smack the two orbs at the quick run gap obstacle then grab the first red one on your way back up the ladder.
And while The World That Never Was is fine for levelling Final. Twilight Town's mansion is also a viable option because the saves are so close you dont have to panic about losing your drive like you do grinding Creepers on the Stairway in the Castle That Never Was.
I disagree with most of this - minus the Sonic Rave on the mushroom. I found that people were struggling with the correct positioning on the stairs, so hitting the mushroom is fine. In total you lose about, 2 minutes? Maybe less. An attack or so every Drive Gauge
@@MissildineOnline Not really sure what you mean by "positioning on the stairs" you just walk up there there isnt a perfect spot or anything lol. It just lets you do the Sonic without losing gauge from hits and leaves right at the door to go back out. And yeah you are right that the time is minimal at least on the PS4 but on the PS3 the load times are so bad that every little optimization adds up BIG. Load times alone prolong the total of grinding everything to get 100% on the PS3 by an hour or two without optimizations.
You're totally right that the difference between the Gamblers and the CoR orbs is pretty big but honestly its still pretty fast, just not instantaneous like the Gambler/Drive Converter strat.
Final Form is honestly truly a preference, if you route the Twilight Mansion correctly you can get levels, synth, and Final ground out pretty fast. The guys who speedrun KH2FM 100% use the mansion for leveling Final because there are more Dusks and less Adv Nobodies that chew up time and effort.
@@ZeStreD huh I wonder why. I've routed the mansion and the stairs and stairs was master by about 20 minutes. This is a LONG time ago though haha
@@MissildineOnline It might be down to direction of travel. I know it sounds weird but in my own time doing the mansion grinding route I've found that for some reason going from the White Room to the Computer Room is somehow slower than going from the Computer Room to the White Room. I think A LOT of it comes down to personal preferences and play style. Something I've always liked about KH's gameplay, there isnt usually one right answer but several options.
The drive bar reset doesn't work for me unfortunately. Did they fix it with the 1.05 patch?
Nope - still works! You need to leave while you are still in the drive form
Beautiful Shroom is actually the name of my new mix tape.
It's FIRE. I can tell.
world that never was before fighting roxas seems faster to level up wisdom since its packed with shadows, spam firaga and watch that level increase
Yup! That was in the video.
Another thing for wisdom form. If you have just got to the world that never was. it will be full of rapidly spawning small fry heartless
This isn't even my final fo- oh wait, it is.
😱-sora forms!
before i leveled the limit form at the mushroom in agrabah i used the 1000 heartless in hollow bastion aka radiant garden got it from level 1 to level 5 with a specific ability-setup so that i can quickly get the drive gaige fast to 4 points
i did final form a bit quicker.
in twilight town mansion near white room do this
get out. walk over half the balcony drop down. kill near middle. jump up to white room.
u get like 10-20 kills depending on how big ur bar is. if u can spare it. before u hop back up enter the room there it has gamblers.
so for master that room might also be better if u cant get to yensids tower.
In my testing that actually took longer, but it is definitely a good spot!
You should do that until you get the first form boost
I used to level valor early on in China when I was little just so I could get leveled early
Hello! So I stumbled around your video and I want to level up valor
The thing is the mushroom in cave of wonders inside we’re the mushroom is and I use valor (yes I have goofy not Aladdin) when I do my hit air combos and also my low ones sora always falls and I have to start over.
After that I leave the world and come back
(Yes before my drive lowers to zero I go to the save point and leave the word)
It seem to not work for me?? I been doing it for a hour and valor seem to be super stubborn to level up am I doing something wrong?
(P.s I’m at the end of the game stuck on roxas)
Oh my god this looks fun,I want to play this version now.😳
KH2?? It's very fun!
Quick tip for people: you can also use timeless river for valor and limit
You have the added benefit of getting munny and exp. Its much more efficient since you only have to walk thru a door and back in. I recommend summons on the mushroom tho.
For valor just beat the shit out of stuff
For limit, use one sonic rave. Stand still, get hit a bunch. Since you have mp rage, you’ll regenerate some mp. Using limits also heal your hp, so you can do this over and over again. You can easily get 3 limits off. Eventually you’ll be able to get 3-5 raves, maybe even more. (Btw i got about 3 levels in limit while doing this in the 1000 heartless fight fyi)
I think the limit form one is much better like this. Valor is debatable but this method is 10x better.
This isnt quite as fast - I actually timed them all for this video! I think I lost something like 10-20 minutes overall
Been tryna level up this limit form for a hour and a half straight doing the same method and I’ve only leveled up once… I’m so frustrated spamming this damn mushroom
The Chamber of remembrance has them orb drops. just hit them and reup on drive gage.
Way too slow
@@MissildineOnline Maybe for you. I was able to max lvl in less then 5 min.
@@cdvoices that isnt possible - but if you were able to pull it off more power to you!
One thing I truly hate that ruins this whole thing harshly is when Sora turns Anti Form randomly when I'm trying to level up my other forms. Then when you go to world map and back to Agrabah, it doesn't reset the gauge. Sad day for a KH player.
If you activate the drive form before entering battle you're guaranteed to get it, and not Anti.
Apparently if you go final form it drastically lowers the chances of you going anti
Nice! Thanks. Question: if I don't use summons, is there something to be gained from levelling the summon form?
If all of your forms are leveled to 7 along with your summons. You unlock a new cup in the underworld
My gauge don't refill with the save trick. No biggie, cause in the Treasure Room. If limit (pain in the ***) You can revert or whatever. Finish him off. And he drops a good amount of stuff. So by the time your maxed, you have like 5 billion tents and stuff lol
you have to be in the form go to save and leave the world. when you return you will have full drive. works for all drive forms and summons.
Thanks :)
Bc im having trouble making progress in the world that never was i just grinded final form in yen sid’s tower bc its like 15xp at level one and at level 5 its 30 in 3min
You don't need to hit anything with finish, so you can just run away and do it so it won't accidentally die.
I prefer to go to the cavern of remembrance entrance, go into master form, heal, smack the drive orb dispenser, leave, go to the world map, go back to the save point, rinse and repeat
Nice!
Searching for guides and finding out Cory did guides for KH2
Are we sure this guide works on PS4 version? My drive isn't coming back when returning to save point.
World Map, not just the save point
You also cant let your drive completely deplete.
Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!
8:40 - I don't get the waves of nobodies or even the same ones and it's definitely the same place
Gotta progress the story
@@MissildineOnline Ahhh, right thanks. Figured it out eventually when I remembered from my previous playthrough that there are 2 Xemnas fights. Now I'm on Dream Drop Distance (2.8).
@@MissildineOnline Also thanks for replying to my comment. Most UA-camrs don't do that.
Dude, I don't know what you're talking about. The drive gauge does not automatically reload when you go to the world map and return. I have to hit every time to reload.
I'm not sure why you are having that issue, I'd have to see it.
You can't let the drive run out before leaving - you must still be in the form. I'm guessing that's the issue!
@@MissildineOnline it's whatever. I'm getting it done still. took longer than expected, mostly because my game messed up and the 'b' button wouldn't work so I had to force quit and start over. Still got wisdom and valor fully maxed and halfway through with limit.
@@xeniamartin5297 yeah just make sure you are going to the world map while you are IN the drive - if it depletes before you go to the world map it's gone.
Glad you are getting it done though!
Bruh that moment when u realize ur glad u picked sword always lol instead of shield or worse yet the staff
For master form I just went to cavern of remembrance and kept hitting the orbs
Thanks to you I was able to defeat Roxas 😄
WheresRezy roxas is easy what’s difficult about him is the damn lasers they get me everytime😂
The best way to evolve the Wisdom Form is fighting the lots of heartless in the streets on "The World That Never Was ".
There's better ways, but that's a good way if that's where you are at
You sound kinda like Ray Chase, the Master of Masters. 😂
Oh shit that's a FANTASTIC compliment
@@MissildineOnline I had to rewatch parts of the video because I kept getting distracted by how similar you guys sound. 😂
@@spiffocyte5238 time to start working on my voice demo reel 🤓😂😂
I can't get my valor past 6... says next level is 0.. is it cause I don't have final?
Yes
@@MrGuilhermelpb Ugh fuck roxas lol
if you got final mix you can get 9 drives lol I realize you said sonic raid and plus I know you haven’t beat final xemnas when you did this video
Yeah - totally meant Strike Raid. I was just using footage though, doesn't change the guide haha (9 gauges, not 9 levels - in case anyone is reading this)
Do I need final limit to reach level 7? I'm at level 6 on valor, wisdom, limit and master but when I look at my status, it says "next lv: 0"
You need to unlock final form to be able to level it up to 7
@@TT-Stygian I was afraid of that lol. Thank you!
Is there another quick way to level up Valor form. Mine does not pop up at the mushroom in agrabah...
Your Valor form doesn't?
Yes.. all forms come up in drive but Valor not. Only in Agrabah with the mushroom
Do you have Goofy in your party?
Oeh I am gonna try that!
Omg. Thank you for the tip. I feel embarrassed to not knowing that.
For valor wisdom master and limit, i usually go to beast's Castle in late game. Wisdom and matter can easily abuse the hell out of reflect and everything there drops tons of drive orbs. With valor i just power through everything and with limit i just use allot of tents. It's more fun this way. You get tons of drive recoveries and tents from Black mushrooms and you need to do those for synthesis anyways
Mushroom 13 is WAY faster
faster? maybe. more fun? definitely not. pluss you dont level sora at all and you get no drops. to each their own at that point i guess. id personally rather have fun running around killing heartless than to spam X for an hour (or however long it takes). i will however be using this for summons because i hate summons in this game. thanks for the tip on that ^_^
How did you unlock that little crown at 0:13 ?
You have to beat the lingering will in Disney Castle after finishing the game
He’s so fucking hard tho , you have to level up to 99 get the ultima weapon etc...
@@rayyanchile8728 oh ok thnx for the help👍🏽
@@makayla5570 not sure if you have managed to do this, so just some advice. if you get fenrir from seperoph and negative combo. make it so you have one jumping finisher. as the fight starts, immediately use comet from donald. when it finishes lingering will should have just got hit into air. jump and hit him with single finisher. land jump finisher. you can do this in defiantly till he is dead.
also you crown pieces from data orgs, lingering will and doing all fireworks for mushroom organisation 13. you get a 'proof' from each giving a upgrade to the crown. bronze, silver and gold. good luck with data orgs.
I ended the game without even knowing there is a final Form 😅
hahaahohoh. i play like idiot. did not realise this. level 75 now. is the cave of reremberance worth it?
Ok
Why do I turn into heartless sometimes?? Then drive all gone
Random 😭
Missildine online, if u see this, please answer my question, how do u get final form, i cant figure out how, please let me know, i beat the game around the level 43, but still dont have the final form, ive seen that video but still dont have it
Juanita Hartley If you are still confused the way to get final form is to equip the two become one keyblade and go into any drive form you like. What should happen is that you might turn into anti form or into final form. The best area to do this in is the Cerberus cup In Olympus coliseum. If you don’t get it the first time you can exit and try again. I hope this helps!
@@clonearmy111 thanks
Limit turned me to a heartless
That's anti form, it's activated randomly by using any of your forms. This happens when you use form to much.
I have a question. I am trying to level up my limit form and I am doing like in the video but the reaction command isn't lit up when I start either sonic rave or last arcanum on the mushroom in the treasure room on agrabah. I am not locked on, start the battle, go into limit form, activate sonic rave and mash 'Y' (Xbox) and nothing happens. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
You actually have to be a bit of distance away for it to work - found that out the hard way.
Too far and too close and you can't use it it
