KH2FM - Shadow Stalker + Dark Thorn No Damage (LV1 CM)

Shadow Stalker: This guy is cake. His moves are easy to dodge and so predictable it's pathetic. If he goes under the ground, simply jump before the move hits you. If he goes to the ceiling, back away from the middle of the room. If he goes into the pillars, go TO the middle. If he goes into the wall, go to the sides or dodge it in the middle. Those are his only attacks. Use Beast's Limit to make the boring battle a little faster.

Difficulty for normal win: **
Difficulty for no damage: **

Dark Thorn: Here's where it gets tough. Dark Thorn starts out invisible, so you can't see his attacks too well. He will always start off with a hand in ground move that causes dark..ghost things to follow you. To avoid getting damage in the first 5 seconds, do Beast's Limit. Does massive damage to this guy. If you timed it right he should be down when you finish the Limit, giving you a chance to do the Reaction Commands. If not...good luck blocking his moves.

Once you do the RCs, the easiest thing to do is do a quick Slide Dash into him. If you do it fast enough he'll be stunned and you can combo him until he counter attacks with the spinning throw that comes with a RC that does some nice damage to him. No, it does not do damage to you when he does that move. After he gets hit by that RC, if you do the Slide Dash method quick enough you can make it happen again.

What's hard is if you throw him off this pattern, such as missing him with the Slide Dash. This means he'll start an attack. Hope to hell he doesn't use his combo attack or you're probably going to not survive, much less get no damage unless you know it so much that you can guard it all. He also may do a regular slash attack, which isn't too pretty.

If he goes up on the ceiling and drops down with the chandelier, use Guard on it to stun him so you can start up your loop process again. Credit does go to Apul for figuring out how to loop him like that. If he goes invisible again, try to use Beast's Limit again and hope it once again stuns him.

Difficulty for normal LV1 win: ***
Difficulty for LV1 no damage: *****

First part is cake, second part is tough. Just remember if the Dark Thorn makes a growling sound, you can't stun him and it means he's about to start his next attack, so back off to find out if it's a blockable move or not. Also he has a jumping move if you get too far from him, you can easily stun him if you attack right when he lands.

Oh also, I apparently deleted my no damage on the fight against Beast. But that's a simple fight you can end in 1 minute anyway.

This is the end of the fights in Beast's Castle's first visit. Now onto Olympus. However, I'm thinking I'll do some hacked videos first again.

Q: How do you stay Level 1?
A: In Critical Mode in KH2FM, you are given an EXP 0 ability at the beginning of the game. Equipping it makes it so you don't gain experience. Drive Forms aren't affected by it, so you can still level those up.

Q: What's Critical Mode (CM)?
A: Critical Mode is the new difficulty mode in KH2FM. It's basically slightly harder than a low level Proud Mode challenge.

Q: Hey how come you have (Insert ability here) at level 1 when you get (insert same ability here) at (insert KH2 required level here).
A: In KH2FM, they switched some abilities around and made some where you don't have to level up to gain them. A perfect example is the Scan ability.

Q: How can you do 2 finishers so early on in the game?
A: Just like with the EXP 0 ability, you're also given a Finishing Plus ability at the start of the game. So you can do 1 normal finisher + a second finisher.

Q: How come I hear English voices if this is KH2FM? I thought it was Japanese!
A: KH2FM has English voices with Japanese text. Simple as that, I don't know why people can't grasp that.

Q: How can I get KH2FM and how would I get it to run on my PS2?
A: If you have the fat PS2, like me, get Swap Magic + a Slide Card. I got the Swap Magic 3.6 + Slide Card deal at thegiantstore.com. I also bought KH2FM at play-asia.com (more) (less)

Q: How come your stats increase if you're level 1?
A: You get bonus level stat ups from beating scripted fights. For example, some give you HP+, MP+, Strength +1, Defense +1, etc. If this didn't happen, then it would be near impossible to do a LV1 playthrough.

Q: Hey is this Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix?
A: You're an idiot, get off the internets.

2 things 1. how is his HP not all the way up if there is no damage (unless he didnt enter with full health) there is a tiny sliver of HP gone at about 3:37 i noticed 2. yes he got hit at about the last nano second of 4:22 but hes still one of the best at these things i couldnt even get close to what he does (1. cause i dont have KHFM+ or a japanese PS2 (sorry for spelling) 2. cause i have no skill unlike biz here)

[Bizkit047]

It is full HP the entire time, you can't tell when on black, but at one part you see the HP bar pass through Beast's Cape, and it's clear it's full. Also, if you PLAY THE GAME YOURSELF you'll notice that grab move does not do damage.

[jhrulez32]

was that reaction command new in the game?

[Bizkit047]

No, it's in both KH2 games.

[stupidstudios1]

How did you jump that high?

Was it a reaction command?

I forget killing this guy.

[Bizkit047]

Yes, a Reaction Command. One of the cooler set of Reaction Commands in the game.

[megamanZ95]

for those of you who claim he was hit, the throw attack does not damage you unless you miss the reaction command. which he did not. regardless, nice video

[jayho25]

awesome move at 3:32

[kh2fmfan]

3:32 is like stealing roxas keyblads or final form because the keyblade floats i like stealing roxas keyblades

[TheRandomDragon01]

It's looks really awesome when you can finish the Dark Thorn fight with the grab reaction command. At least, it does to me.

[KeybladeHaven]

Geez. The reaction commands for Dark Thorn are friggin' beast.

[sonickeyboy]

@kingdomheartsrocks09 now i c wat u mean

[kingdomheartsrocks09]

he may have got hit (i mean by getting grabed) but it dident show damage so that means he dident take damage

[sonickeyboy]

@dmg11062419 Im serious he took damage like twice even look 4 urself

[dmg11062419]

@sonickeyboy Read the title, it says no damage, not never hit, he did get hit, but it didnt show any damage,

[sonickeyboy]

3:28

he got hit so its not no damage, tho he tried

[marielouvoetbal]

I remember some years ago, that a friend of mine created his own nickname: Shadow Stalker. and when he bought KHII he was surprised to see this guy lol

[kinglemoncheez]

i did the RC (the one that comes after he spins you around) and i didn't pay attention to his health so it was an epic finisher :D
