Tips for BBS?

[CherryFields]

Does anyone have tips for defeating the main enemies in KH Birth By Sleep?


SPOILERS BELOW wahmbulance



Terra- defeating himself after Master Xehanort takes over his body


Ventus- defeating Vanitas!



I'm stuck on those enemies. Tips of what commands to use would rock! Thank you! And discuss it?

My sister defeated Terra's for me...She used the Shotlock on him and it worked. For Vanitas, level up Ven to upper 40's (i did that one myself) and dodge as much as you can, and have curaga. That is a must. It's been about a year since i've beaten Ven's story so I can't give you that much, sorry! But good luck

Thank you so much! That first part on Terra is really helpful. Hopefully it will work for me too.
Also, it is always useful to know a good level marker to be at for certain bosses. If anything, Ven seems easier than Terra's.

By far. Ven's is a cakewalk...I made a new file for Terra I want to do myself on Critical mode and I'm scared to do that battle...

For any boss... If you can get full shot lock, do it, because once you start firing, you're completely immune to attack. Having renewal block/barrier is great because it restores health when used to fend off attacks, thus providing alternatives to cure spells or potions. Also, definitely try and get second chance and once more abilities as soon as possible, because those will save your life many times when you least expect.
Here's a link to a game FAQ that has some walkthroughs and suggestions on good ways to defeat the bosses. It also has command recipes and a list of what abilities you gain with certain recipes. BBS FAQ and Walkthroughs
Hope this helps. biggrin

I have some weird aversion to shotlock, sadly. But, I will practice it for a while before I attempt the boss again. Thanks for the tips! And the link. :]

No problem. biggrin I use that page a lot myself to find good ways for getting the good abilities early on in the game. Also, if ur ever up for some partnering in Mirage arena, I have a couple characters that are up for some fun.

Hey, I realize you might know the answer:
How about how long would it take someone to play BBS on easy mode?
Especially compared to hard mode...

That depends, really. If you're just pushing to finish the story as fast as possible, you can finish one of 3 in about a day or two, so long as you're good. If you're looking to find all the secrets and bonuses and do Mirage Arena, then it could take a week or more to complete a character.
Hard mode makes the combat more difficult, so no matter how good you are, you'll be having to respawn more often, especially on boss fights, but other than that, things are about the same. You'll only need about 2 days to finish a story if you're pushing.

Personally, I like getting at least some of the bonuses and secrets and doing some of Mirage Arena. It makes it easier in the long run to take a bit of time to look around.
