"It's just mashing X," they said. "It's a Disney game for dumb little babies," they said. CRANK IT UP TO 11!!!
A lot of the strategies shown in this video are a synthesis of my own methods and hundreds of posts or clips I’ve seen online over the past 5 or 6 years or so. In one instance, I pretty much had to resort to just using a strategy I saw in a video by WillJV2, linked below. This is all to say, there are a lot of people in the community who are much better and were much faster at figuring these things out, and I am standing on the shoulders of giants in this video.

Also sorry for getting quieter in like the last 30 minutes, if I'm being honest my voice started to go toward the end there lmao

If you enjoyed and you'd like to support the channel, I won't fight you on it!

    In order to make the chapter feature work on the timeline, I edited the description to include timecodes just for each world. If you're looking to jump to one specific encounter, here's each timestamp from the original description: 2:45 - Setup 3:44 - Destiny Islands Duels 7:27 - Darkside II 7:57 - Leon 8:56 - Guard Armor 10:43 - Power Wilds 11:00 - Sabor 12:24 - Clayton & Stealth Sneak 14:56 - Crank Tower 15:28 - Trickmaster 16:04 - Opposite Armor 16:23 - Agrabah Heartless 17:08 - Pot Centipede 18:22 - Cave of Wonders Guardian 20:02 - Jafar 20:19 - Genie Jafar 20:36 - Parasite Cage I 20:55 - Parasite Cage II 21:27 - Halloween Town Heartless 22:55 - Lock, Shock, & Barrel 23:52 - Oogie Boogie 24:37 - Oogie's Manor 26:24 - AntiSora 27:29 - Neverland Heartless 28:02 - Captain Hook 28:58 - Riku I 30:11 - Castle Climb I 31:09 - Maleficent 31:44 - Dragon Maleficent 33:20 - Atlantica Heartless 33:39 - Shark 33:56 - Ursula I 34:41 - Ursula II 35:53 - Coliseum Preliminaries 36:12 - Cerberus I 36:57 - Phil Cup 37:17 - Pegasus Cup 37:51 - Hercules Cup 39:23 - Riku II 40:33 - Castle Climb II 41:25 - Behemoth 41:43 - End of the World Heartless 42:36 - Chernabog 43:00 - Hades Cup 46:24 - Phantom 49:12 - Linked Worlds 51:54 - Ansem I 52:46 - Darkside III 53:24 - Ansem II 55:45 - World of Chaos I 57:51 - Shadow Room Core 58:07 - Artillery 58:34 - Darkball Room Core 58:54 - Face 59:24 - Invisible Room Core 59:40 - World of Chaos II 1:00:13 - Kurt Zisa 1:01:37 - Ice Titan 1:06:18 - Unknown 1:10:14 - Sephiroth
  • I really love that each choice of weapon in Dive to the Heart gives you a little something extra for picking it. - Power of the Mystic gives you another MP Bar - Power of the Guardian gives you another Item Slot - Power of the Warrior gives you another reason to choose the other two
  • @APrime25
    That moment you spend an entire afternoon just to beat the destiny beach trio on lvl 1, only to feel that it wasn’t even worth it...
  • @Nathan-ny3xp
    I love the fact that you mix comedy in with your video,most good players are just dull. You deserve more credit!

    RegularPat: “So here’s the deal: We’re gonna kill Peter Pan.” Captain Hook: “…go on…”
  • @Kendel925
    FYI, Stop upgrades don't enhance it's duration time, only MP does. Stopra and Stopga only increase its range
  • @fatilumkins8730
    Just in case it isn’t mentioned in the comments here. So long as you have the fully leveled Areo spell, if you ever get hit by the ‘Submit’ move from the guardian cast it on your self and you are completely invulnerable to it. It also auto deflects the changing rush move Ansem pulls off. Basically, fully upgraded Areo trivializes 2nd Ansem.

    Another tip for the baton boy from wonderland: You can cast blizzard on the grill below the stove to stop him from lighting his batons.
  • @WillJV2
    well done and thanks for the shout out!
  • @George930
    Fun fact, for the the trio fight on Destiny Islands, if you switch target before parrying Wakka’s ball, you deflect the ball at either Selphie or Tidus. Figured this out very late on but gotta admit, its fun as fuck pelting them all with Wakkas ball lolol
  • @samlewis6487
    It's actually possible to run out of range of the very first fight, activating EXP Zero soon enough that Goofy also stays at level one.
  • @steelseraph7413
    25:00 There is a strategy to greatly mitigate the pain of Oogie's Manor Fight. You can target the dark orbs and use triangle to sic your allies on them and they will take it down to 1 HP without breaking them.
  • @DynoSkrimisher
    Steve Harvey's Angels as Sephiroth's attack sounds scary as hell.
  • @Cronnicossy
    Dude, you're a saint. It takes time to make something like this just to help people, and I respect the shit out of that.
  • @Drachendrac
    Dude, you did amazing work here. I beat ansem yesterday, thanks to your guide. It helped me a lot in this challenge
  • @NishaPerson
    I don't have any plans to do a Level 1 run of KH1, but I've watched this video multiple times. The way you talk is just, so perfect to listen too. One of the best vids on the platform.
  • I've beaten KH1 level 1 twice yet I'm watching this anyway lol very good video! Subbed!
  • @kirasaji
    Clayton is so unfair. They really expect you to fight a gun with a key sword.... I just....
  • @mikahhosang2606
    This is one of the most amazing things ive stumbled on in the kh lvl 1 community!! Wow brings new life to the game i will definitely be following your guide in the future!! Very throughout and easy to follow. Doing gods work
  • @BrennySpain
    tinker bell is honestly my favourite summon in the game. she was a great help during the dragon-maleficent fight and the wave of heartless just before the final rest in the end of the world.
