Gaming help

Ra · 03-14-2007, 04:03 AM

I can't help but notice that we don't have an official "gaming help" thread. I'm not sure if this will turn into one, but I do know I desperately need help. Can anyone guess with what?

Yeah, still stuck on the second fight with Demyx in "Kingdom Hearts II". I'm making a big deal out of this since half the time when he summons those water clones of his, 1 in 3 tries I run out of time. The rest of the time just just owns me all over the place. I'm currently using the power of a boss guide and a walk through, and that is not helping me at all. I desperately want to continue and finish this game, so does anyone here have any tips other than running away like crazy when he summons those sphere water globes and attack like mad when you hear "DANCE WATER, DANCE!"?

Oh, and if you want to know, the grand total of times he has handed my butt to me is 8, and it's probably going to become 9 tonight. Yeah, I'm pathetic

Killing the water clones is the easy part of the fight. It's all about using the reaction commands. As soon as you hear him say "Dance, Water! Dance!" get ready. Get in as close to as many of them as possible and start swinging, then when the reaction command pops-up, use it to destroy all, or almost all of the clones. That really is the easiest part of the fight. He gets much much tougher when his health is waning, so be prepared for that. Magic and Valor Form have to be used. Especially Valor Form, I really don't think I can stress that.

I used the Wisdom form on that fight a lot, actually. It's useful considering how much of an area the magic attacks cover. Useful for some of those clones.

You gotta save the drives for attacking Demyx himself! The clones are pie as far as I'm concerned. I never had any problems with them. Valor Form when Demyx leaves an opening and go to town.

*Cure* · 03-14-2007, 12:44 PM

I would always run outta time before I could kill all the clones, that's why. But I see what you're saying.

Sounds like a good plan. I can only hope for all the best (I got him down to his second-last bar of health last night...then I RAN OUT OF TIME! GAH!)

I tried Valor Form last night and it indeed did help me. I can imagine what Wisdom form can do, since range and defense seems to be the main way to play right now, but how about Master form? Will that work, or will that be a lost cause? I know that if I can chip away at that life bar of his, I might be able to do something... *thinks*

Of course Master Form will work. The only reason I didn't mention is cuz I thought you didn't have it yet. It's been so long since I've played that game........I forgot where you get it.

Ra · 03-16-2007, 05:30 AM

You get it from Mickey right before you head into the computer for the second time. I was looking through my forms after I went into Valor and then I realized I had Master Form. I'm not one to rely on my forms that much, so I guess that's why I keep on getting owned... *sighs*

EDIT

Okay, I think I have the "chipping away at his HP" part down now. I just lost to him again due to those clones. Bah, I'm sure if he didn't summon those things for the last time I would have had him (almost down to his last bar of health too...). Thanks Peanut and Cure4AIDS for your help. I used the Valor and Wisdom forms and found that Valor is good for the clones, while Wisdom is good for when Demyx is going mental with those water attacks, but I think I'll stick with Valor, since you can get him up in the air for a bit and take a chunk out of his HP when he is winded. I actually think that I've almost got him!

Score thus far:

Demyx - 10; Ra - 0. Hopefully that will change in a few days...

Not to change the discussin here, but has anyone managed to get the Achievement for defeating shredder without being mutated? I've beat him without being mutated but I never get the points...is it true that the points can be glitched where some can get it and others not? If so, that sux...
