shion plays Kingdom Hearts

Okay I do some grinding, collect some Munny, buy some weapons, and before you know it, it's off to the new world! Where am I going next?

Hercules Olympus Coliseum

That's right, the Coliseum also featured in II. I head inside and find Phil, who instructs me to move a boulder. I try and fail because the thing weighs a ton. I have a feeling this is one of those zany mistaken identity cases because Phil never bothered to look at me.

It sure was! Phil, Donal, and Sora (and Goofy I guess) argue about whether or not our trio are heroes. So Phil decides to test me with an annoying barrel destroying mini-game. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be once I got the hang of it. Also feels like kind of a waste of barrels.

Next i am apparently supposed to compete in something but I haven't yet because I limited my TV time tonight. So that's all for now~!

Indeed it does! And then 3D comes along and turns all that on its head :monster:

Okay so after I complete the training a second time and Phil still won't let me in the tournament, I go to leave. Hades shows up and gives me a ticket to enter. I also see a scene with Cloud having a "contract" with Hades.

Phil finally lets me in the tournament but I can only get up to about fight 7. Then I try again and don't even get that far. Starting to regret my difficulty setting. So instead I head back to Traverse Town to replenish my items. Oh I also found some dalmatian pups.

When that's done, I head to the next world! It's been annoying having to do that stupid Gummi thing everytime I go somewhere.

Tarzan's Deep Jungle

After arguing with Donald over whether we should land or not, we kind of crash on this world. I find myself instantly attacked by a very fast jaguar. Afterwards, Tarzan shows up and Sora tries to communicate with him about his "friends" and also sees a vision of Kairi.

Donald and Goofy meanwhile are found by someone else whose name I can't remember. They also find a cube thing on the ground.

So Tarzan brings me to a tent in the woods and the tree surfing to get there has probably been the most fun thing about the game so far. At the tent, we meet Jane who can communicate much better than Tarzan. The guy who found Donald and Goofy also arrives with them and Donald and Sora feud a little bit. I'm also informed that the cube thing they found is for the Gummi Ship.

Sora tries to talk to Jane about Kairi and Riku, saying that Tarzan said they were here, so Jane wants to show him some slides to help see if something clicks. Sadly, the slides are missing!

And that is as far as I got tonight. I'll go back to the Coliseum eventually >.>

Party
Sora
Donald
Tarzan

I think the Coliseum is meant to be visited last anyway.

Have you been checking the "battle level" of the worlds? To me, that was always a good indicator of where to go first.

Because nothing proves your heroism better than the destruction of private property.

Fynn, the Coliseum had 2 stars and the Deep Jungle has 3

Wat

Yeah :-/

If you go for trophies, I have written a Trophy Guide.

Thank you, Sephiroth, but I don't think I'll be working on trophies since this is my first time playing. I appreciate the offer though!

I always thought that coliseum is labeled wrong on the difficulty thingy they give you. deep jungle is far easier than coliseum. you don't even have to do the coliseum to beat the story line. you can skip little mermaid as well, cause the controls suck there.

How is the Deep Jungle easier? It has that Sneaky Bastard as boss. And Cerberus cannot even wound you while you stand on his shoulders while Cloud does not need to be beaten to experience the Coliseum story part.

I always found deep jungles boss to be fairly easy, while Cerberus has always been much harder. sure you could just camp out on the guys back and let donald and goofy beat it up but where is the fun in that? It's not like you can hurt Cerberus while on its back. Deep Jungles boss turns visible once hits hp goes down enough and Clayton sits on its back while its invisible so can still hurt it.

You can.

alright I was wrong you can hit it while there, thunder spam which if you have you could probably beat it to death with the blunt keyblade. or you could try and hit it with the keyblade and get hit. hell the attack pattern stops you from staying on its back the whole time. give me deep jungle's boss first anytime.
