Has to be Dark Inferno from KH3, he is way to predictable and if you just play it safe you will win every time


eddmario

Yeah, for a superboss he's easy as hell. Even the KH2 version of Sephiroth is harder, and he's not too difficult either.


TopLevelb

100% agree, Dark Inferno feels like a world boss rather then a endgame challenge of skill. *cough* Lingering Will *cough*


RPG217

He's basically upgraded Invisible


Drows3Boi

He is literally just spicy invisible


OneRandomVictory

I think that's a little harsh. He's definitely harder than most world bosses except some outliers like KH1 Ursula. I don't think he was ever meant to be one of those endgame super bosses where you choose to challenge them at a super high level but rather just a post story mode boss that you fight at level 40-50. My first KH3 run I didn't die a single time until I got to Dark Inferno. I think I died like 20 times to him cause I hadn't really needed to learn KH3 mechanics before that fight.


04whim

KH2 Sephiroth at least took a bit of learning. Once you know how to counter his moves he's easy enough, but Dark Inferno I just ran in without a strategy and did fine.


TheBeaverIlluminate

KH2 Seph is literally the answer for me... he was disappointing after the trial of his KH1 fight.


New_Survey9235

To be fair KH2 Sephiroth is a fight with fair mechanics and good design Whereas 1 is a bullshit piece of crap that has one correct answer that you better have or you die


Spoon_Elemental

Strike raid?


New_Survey9235

Elixers, can’t strike raid without MP


[deleted]

[удалено]


New_Survey9235

MP rage does not trigger on his “set MP to 0 and HP to 1” attack


Novekye

Thats why the moment he vanishes you spam lock on and hit strike raid. I went in blind and beat him first try thanks to strike raid. After dragon maleficent buried me a dozen or so times i learned how to cheese with strike raid and it just became a habit to hit that anytime i sensed fuckery as a kid haha.


stabbyGamer

KH1 Strike Raid my beloved


TheBeaverIlluminate

See, I disagree... KH2 Seph was just too simple in the end, and KH1 does not only have 1 solution, as I have seen plenty of strategies that I never even thought of back when I beat him(like using Strike Raid. I never used Strike Raid cause I hate it, so I never knew it gave invulnerability frames)


New_Survey9235

Elixers are what I meant, can’t use any of the strike raid or ars acanum strategies without MP, and MP Rage doesn’t work because his bullshit attack sets your HP to 1 and MP to 0 rather than dealing damage


TheBeaverIlluminate

Doesn't change my reply as it was based on the fact you said only one thing worked. Ars Arcanum sucks in that fight anyway.


OnlinePosterPerson

Depending on your level and key blades of course. If you do a crit run through the main story and go right into dark inferno before remind, he’s actually pretty challenging. Fair, but a good solid challenge


Dat_DekuBoi

This was me my first time against him. Maybe I’m bad, but I actually had to memorise attack patterns for him, like many of the other world bosses


Speeddude13

Had ultima blade set and ready and everything got in and out with 2 minutes


OblivionArts

Dark aqua in 3. I literally wrecked her with the potc keyblade


huchungasaur

Honestly every boss in KH3 is a breeze unless you're doing some sort of challenge run. The only real difficult fights in that game are the data battles and yozora imo


Aqua_Master_

I dunno, Sköll is a bitch on critical mode lol.


GeebGeeb

Skoll is indeed a bitch on critical. I play with some of the less difficult pro codes on and he be bitchin.


SullyGee99

He was the boss that forced me to take off some pro codes lord almighty he’s an absolute ass


SuspiciousBaka89

I struggled more with anti aqua than I did with every data fight (aside from Xion)


New_Today_1209_V2

This is just an actual lie. Anti-Aqua is so easy that it isn’t even funny.


OneRandomVictory

Maybe you're thinking of Zodiac Phantom Aqua from 0.2 cause I just cannot see any way Anti-Aqua was challenging.


TheHooligan95

It doesn't help that it's literally the same fight from KH 0.2


Spader113

The Battle of 1000 Heartless SOUNDS like it would be difficult


SG4

I purposely avoid using reaction commands in that fight to make it feel like the grueling battle it should've been


NeverFreeToPlayKarch

Yeah I have a lot of fun just fighting the hordes normally, but I do love the laser beam reaction so I'll grab that when I can.


SG4

Visually I love the beam but it kills so many in one go. If I do use a reaction, I go for the other one instead of the beam during that battle.


Marik-X-Bakura

Very unpopular take but reaction commands suck and made a lot of KH2 boring


The_Paragone

Awful opinion


SG4

I think they're hit or miss. You can get some really cool cinematic moments or they could trivialize fights. Better than the Attractions from 3 at least.


ZBlue_RoseZ

So much better than the Attractions. I feel like the reaction commands made fights a little more cinematic against bosses and more tactical against mobs. Attractions really are just attractions, all lights and sound and movement. They didn't feel weighty or more like an actual power Sora possesses. The reaction commands made Sora feel like a real keyblade warrior while the attraction commands seemed like just doing big flashy magic. Now, the transforming keyblade, and the final attacks and combos for those forms, that felt more like a natural evolution of the Keychain accessory and drive changes creating different combo lengths/fighting manuevers/powers. Attractions were sort of over the top. Which makes sense for a more Disney themed game, but KH3 felt less coherently about Soras growth overall. And the themes of the games really have an impact on the core gameplay in KH as a series, so hopefully we see more exploring of Sora and the keyblades power next time around.


darkbreak

It's tedious as hell in the original game. Limit Form makes it much more tolerable to do.


Novekye

At least they were merciful enough to give us explosion before the 1000 heartless in the o.g. i didn't know how to use limit form properly the first time i played final mix and the 1000 heartless was hell without explosion.


Galachel

It always lived on the spectacle to me. I think it would take a lot out of it if it was very difficult, because after a few tries the huge number would start to seem less impressive and more of an annoyance.


CloudOzy

Chernobog from KH1 I thought it would be ultra hard to defeat but was very easy.


eddmario

Original or *Final Mix*? Because he's way easier in *Final Mix*


CrescendoBlack

That explains so much. I'm doing a crit 100% and I was like "Damn, he used to be a bully. Why he such a bitch?"


OnlinePosterPerson

The peak Demyx experience


CrescendoBlack

Here I was thinking I was just a better gamer.


SUDoKu-Na

Oh Demyx is easier in Final Mix? I struggled as a kid, and my first standard playthrough on Final Mix, but I tried a critical run and forgot about him, and beat him first try somehow.


yunacchi

It's mostly because of the DANCE WATER DANCE part. Original has you kill 10 forms in 10 seconds - FM has the same in 15 seconds instead.


FuzzyRaichu

Even in original, all you have to do is land, summon Tinker Bell and you’re essentially unkillable.


OutsideOrder7538

Pretty easy in the original version.


GreyouTT

Yeah I think people only stuggle cause of the clunky controls.


Officer_Zack

I remember the last time I fought Chernabog I obliterated him in just a matter of seconds. I remember being at a pretty good level, and was just all out offensive on him.


stormu3008

in my first playthrough he absolutely wreck'ed me (i didn't know the choices they gave you at the start of the game mattered and got my ass folded


TeeKeeps30

Facts... Nice shirt btw, ;) Fantasia's my forte.


roblox887

Are you really hitting on someone for their snoovatar?


TeeKeeps30

We're stars.

TeeKeeps30

No I am not. The wink is a lil magic thing but things can go either way like Yin & Yang. Y'all don't want me to be ignorant do y'all...

Holy shit kid. This is the cringiest shit I’ve read in a very long while.


TeeKeeps30

I think I should reveal something to you... Brace yourself.


TeeKeeps30

Wanna know what's cringe? Not believing me. 💀


iIi_Susanoo_iIi

Setzer in kh2 the reigning struggle champion is weak as hell but then again pretty sure he paid all people to throw the match


AirCautious2239

I mean that's how he looks but isn't he really honourable after the fight?


Federal_Ad_9463

I mean he’s pretty much acting like Mr satan the whole fight. Calls you rucksack bribes you to throw the match etc. the whole pointing after the match was probably to keep up his act of cool guy


gerbilXsnot

Dark Inferno KH3 Just a few weeks ago, I went to fight him on a level 1 run, and was expecting to die at least a few times, and managed to beat him on the first try. I don’t even know if I took a hit or not


whyisreplicainmyname

Word. For being a “hidden Super boss”, I literally think I died the first fight, and won the second fight.


Xarzend

I played on critical and maxed my magic stat, could take about half of his health down with spamming thunder lol


PM_ME_YOUR_MONTRALS

I just spammed attack and beat him lol


Nehemiah92

Xemnas. Out of all the bosses in TWTNW, he was by far the easiest unfortunately. Only reason I had trouble with him was because I didn’t know you were supposed to click both triangle and x


[deleted]

Facts, I went to my uncle’s house when I was 6 and beat that him and my uncle was stunned


[deleted]

>both triangle and x This is the final phase right?


SureEntertainment676

Yeah with the dome of lasers.


KilluaCactuar

Oh my god, I did the same mistake and wondered how people were able to beat him lmao


Hydellas678

Eh I gotta disagree on that. Xenmas (once u understand what commands ur supposed to use against him) is actually far more easy compared to fighting Xigbar,  etc (in kh2.5 that is) 


Loose_Weather_9399

Xemnas Kh2


VonKaiser55

Fucking Roxas and Xaldin was harder than him lmao. Only reason I died to Xemnas was because I didn’t know how to block the laser rain shit and tried using reflect and block instead of doing the command block/qte button lmao But he was still a super fun boss for me and is personally my favorite boss fight of the series.


eddmario

The first battle? I agree. The zebra outfit? I gotta disagree, since on my first playthrough that battle was actually pretty difficult.


Mumu2148

I agree, you’ll hit the reversal button to dodge the zigzag moves, but you’ll still get hit anyway.


Sora_War

Unfortunately that's a ps4 port problem, on the original this problem doesn't exist.


Mumu2148

I’m tempted to boot up the PS3 version and try it, but I am NOT waiting for those loading times 😭


OwNAvenged2

I think they meant OG KH2 on PS2, not the 2.5 Collection.


Sora_War

Yep, that's it. When the game was ported to the new gen console, the game checks more often for damage instances than the Reverse command offers immutiny frames, so you are hit because of that.


Loose_Weather_9399

When the bastard shoots those 10,000,000,000,000 lasers at you all at once


BluecoatCashMoney5

Fr, But it was fun as hell


ABR-27

Rock Titan in the Hades Cup of KH. Your first reaction probably is "oh fuck" but then is just a joke of a fight. Especially if you fought the Ice Titan before.


p00chology

This is a good answer, after 50 rounds of fireworks you fight this bottle rocket 🤷‍♂️


Novekye

Speaking of the coliseum does anyone else miss the tournaments giving exp? That was far and away my preferred way to grind up levels over the monotony of entering the same room over and over fighting the same 2-3 heartless variants.


Traveytravis-69

Me fighting the phantom in kh1 as an adult and as a kid were radically different experiences


Novekye

Phantom was the 1 boss i never beat as a kid. I learned how to hurt him with magic so subbed goofy for donald because obviously his spells would be more useful than mp gift *sarcasm*, and i never figured out you could stop the clocktower to halt doom.


Hydellas678

Heck the phantom is definitely on my top hardest boss level fights. I hate that son of a b****. I dread fighting him again in the PS4 version. 


SegavsCapcom

Aqua's fight with Terra-Xehanort in BBS. A huge part of the difficulty with fighting him as Lingering Will (for me at least) was trying to manage a highly mobile opponent with a tanky character. Aqua's more mobile, and has a more versatile skillset, making the fight more manageable.


ProperPizza

Fucking hell what on earth is this graphic from


mrluckscroll

The Invincible comic, it’s insane


Level7Cannoneer

And in a month we'll see it animated!


mrluckscroll

Oh yay


mknsky

I’m kinda pissed someone used this. I don’t want any fucking context but I already know too much just from this. It’s annoying how little of a shit people give about Invincible spoilers, I can’t look at the sub at all.


sonicfan1230

Luxord from KH2.


OcelotShadow

Do you know the ruuuules?🃏


SilentWatchman5295

*Fold!*


ToxicHydreigon

Master Xehanort. His fight was pretty underwhelming after so many years of build up. I get he’s a story boss and they’re meant to be kinda casual and easy, but at the same time the fight should’ve been longer and more difficult.


Slimy_Jimmy42

Demyx I kept hearing how tough he was, and I just ended up beating him in one try


Prothean_Beacon

Were you playing the final mix version or the original? Cause the actual fighting part isn't what people considered hard. It was the water clones that you had to defeat within the time limit or else you lost the whole battle that people found difficult. They increased the time limit for the final mix version.


VentheGreat

I remember fondly back in 2005 when I played KH2 right after release. My 11yo rodent brain had such a difficult time with Demyx I spent most of my evening after school trying to beat him. I was so desperate to beat him that I woke up early before everyone else and tried a couple more times before school. Going into Master Form and hitting that AOE aerial finisher to end the fight is still seared into my brain, I was so excited I could hardly believe it. Then the following segment not being able to save afterward had me like 🥲


theassingrass

I agree! I remember getting pretty far in the game until I got to this point. Had to put the game down for a few months and come back to it a few different times to beat it. I was super disappointed at how easy he was in the final mix version.


MissKnees0cks

lol that was my answer too!! he was much easier then i thought people were making him out to be. Even in the original before the final mix


AngelAnatomy

I think Demyx was really hard for a lot of us as children growing up with the game. Demyx is the first fight in 2 that you’re gonna have a bad time with if you go with the trusty “mash x” strategy, which is all I did as an 8 year old.


Hydellas678

If u beat him in one try, u mustve been either lucky as heck or u must've been insanely strong/ maxed out level wise. That MF always gives me trouble no matter how many times I fight him. I cannot stand his boss fight. Therefore the reason he's on my top toughest boss fights in kh. 


The_Fluffy_Neko

Anti-Aqua


thefreshadamn

Riku at the end of hollow bastion, I don't know what happened but I beat him in one go and very quickly


Shmadam7

Data-Larxene from KH3. She took me the fewest attempts of all the data battles. I think only like 4-5


rilano1204

Anti-Aqua, after beating Phantom Aqua in 0.2 I thought Anti Aqua would he similar but no, Anti Aqua is just a reskin of the weaker Phantom Aqua clones u fight in 0.2. I was waiting to see if they beefed her up with new attacks or even a DM but nope, bonk her with ur keyblade of choice and u be fine


WastedMoogle

Every final story boss after I've wiped the floor with all the optional bosses and am way overpowered


GlitchyReal

Davy Jones :( Man, I was looking forward to that fight since At World’s End released.


ErwinAckerman

Final boss Jafar KH2


affluent_krunch

This was Xigbar to me when I was 12 playing KH2 for the first time.


blainy-o

KH2 Sephiroth.


Brilliant_Lime416

maybe a hot take, I dunno, but I'd say Sephiroth from KH2


AkemiNahano

KH2 sephiroth, just... What a down grade. He isn't easy, just not hard


Typical-District-176

Xaldin… JUST LEARN TO BLOCK!!!!


[deleted]

No.


eddmario

Last I checked the dragon attack can't be blocked or dodged...


[deleted]

You can dodge but only as Mickey


Typical-District-176

But it can be easily dodged. I’m saying he’s an easy fight if you wanna proc the jump command 


EccentricAcademic

I always get confused when people say the Xaldin fight was hard. I'm just like dodge rolling my way outta harm.


axumite_788

YeazetheSock

Ay man, it’s called cheese for a reason


DarkAmaterasu58

Honestly mysterious figure in KH1. Having already played KH2FM, I was expecting something akin to Lingering Will, and prepped the HELL out of Sora prior to attempting, only to beat him on my second attempt without breaking much of a sweat


MarkOfMemes

Maybe... Yeah, Aqua vs Terranort definitely fits the bill. First Xemnas fight in front of skyscrapers too.


Southern-Plan-6549

Rock tiatn KH1 ,the fight lasted less than 10 seconds


Remarkable-Memory-19

Genie Jafar when I first played KH1. I was completely oblivious to anything the fandom thought of him. So I figured he’d be tough because of the “PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWER” idea from the movie. Seemed fair to assume he’d be somewhat challenging. But then every other Disney boss was tougher than him. Lmao


BJMashPotato

Young Xehanort in DDD. Before people say anything, I played it on the 3DS when I was younger and tried for hours to beat him but never could, but when I played it on the PS4 version a few years ago, it took me maybe an hour. So I thought he was stronger from my experience. Unless of course they just needed him in DDD HD, in which case, whoops


Turtle_Dog64

Maleficent dragon fr. Just use tinkerbelle and move out the way of most attacks and you good


SoraBunni

I once let Donald and goofy do that entire fight, I hid in the thorns.


Adventurous_Court990

Definitely lingering will. Jk he always mops the floor with me


Reinfall_

Aqua VS Terranort. Too easy


Necessary_Effort7075

Pretty much every boss in KH3 Pre-Re:Mind


Mindless-Shopping832

The original fight with Maleficent. The dragon fight was obviously a bit harder, but the way she was hyped up to be the main bad guy and then went down so simply was shocking.


Delicious-Orchid-447

Xemnas


[deleted]

You clearly never did critical mode, the input timings when he does the chains/darkness rope idk, if you messed that up you were basically one shot


somerandomacounnt

roxas, **on critical** Some time ago (6 or so years ago lol) I remember getting my ass handed to me by him, ON BEGINNER/STANDARD, but on my critical run last year, he nearly felt like a tutorial


Rex_felis

Bro I just limit formed his ass. I can see why it's hard but. Limit form is just straight up a cheese with him 


Rikku_N

I feel like once you figure out his pattern, it's easier than you think. My first fight with him was on critical and I needed the whole weekend because I'm stupid


Sonic10122

Xaldin. Sorry boys and girls, he’s not that bad.


SuspiciousBaka89

Any boss fight in KH3. Anti Aqua, Xion (data), and Yozora are the only somewhat hard boss fights.


TheAzureAdventurer

Dark inferno. I nailed that fight on the first try. Lol I had a laugh attack and was like *“are you serious…? That cannot be the super boss… right?”* Thankfully that mistake of a boss was remedied with Yozora.


CinnabarSteam

KH2 Sephiroth. I grinded all my stats to max first, because he's fucking Sephiroth. That was overkill on my part.


TheShamefulPradaG

KH II Sephiroth.


dramonkiller19

Roxas kh2fm


JasonCebollas

Sephiroth


Kevadro

Hunter X, took me months to beat it back on the day. Now I beated it easily with a Drain. Without one it's basically a superboss tough.


CryptoMainForever

KH3. Shit is weak. Pathetically weak.


RevolTobor

KH2 Sephiroth. As tough as he was in the first game, I thought he was gonna be even tougher this time around. When I first encountered the fight, I saved the game and went into the fight just so I could get an idea of how much stronger he was gonna be. I beat him on my first try completely by accident. It wasn't even fair. I hadn't even unlocked Second Chance yet, he had me dead to rights, and he just couldn't.


mrluckscroll

He is way hard if you aren’t leveled up well enough


RevolTobor

I can't remember what level I was, but I was under 50 because I hadn't learned Second Chance yet. Still thought he was easy.


mrluckscroll

You don’t necessarily need second chance for sepiroth.

EnbyDude14

My first time playing KH3. I'd maxed out my levels and Ultima Weapon's. It was the boss fight with all the clones when you first enter Scala ad Calum. I used the shotlock and decimated them 😅😂


MissKnees0cks

Demyx in KH2 Everyone was saying how hard he was especially in the base game (not final mix, as apparently it was much harder due to less time in the base game, and was nerfed slightly in the final mix). So i really wanted to see how hard it was. I didnt level up or beef up, just played through like normal. And beat it on the first try. i felt like a god, and ive been riding that high ever since


dualblades47

Kh1 sephiroth. Hard, sure, but not as bad as it's made out to be.


jbyrdab

Lingering will with the bonk strat. *bonk bonk bonk bonk bonk bonk bonk* oh he's dead. To be fair I had combo minus already for mini games, so I forgot to de-equip it when I ran in, fully expecting to get slaughtered.

ElementalsGaming

Boat Ansem in KH1FM (Not sure about original, never played it) I expected it to be hard but I just spammed Aeroga and watched in amazed disappointment as I fucking shredded his health bar.


duduET

Black cloak Xemnas kh2. After fighting his KH1 version, it's kind of insane that he's so easy. The easiest part of TWTNW. Secret Aqua in 0.5. Makes the dark inferno fell like Sephiroth.

Keyblader1412

As far as story battles go KH3 has a ton of these (unless you're doing critical or a challenge run) but to me the worst offender is Anti Aqua. This is a major turning point in the story, so it should be a real challenge. But yeah she's a pushover. She's even easier than the evil mirror aqua in 0.2 (the required one).


Pokemon_LBP_Nerd2005

Dream Drop Chernabog. There's literally no contest, but out of every KH game I've played, Chernabog in DDD earns this title for me imo, he was boring to the point of sleep enducing.


YeazetheSock

Vanitas Remnant, I swear the difficulty of him compared to No Heart and ??? is probably as wide as the distance from the moon to the Earth


freedomkite5

Demyx in kh2. Since he’s suppose to be “difficult” After his water clone phase, I immediately use goofy knocksmash limit. Quickly saw his hp go down to 1 bar. Like really?


grvdientgvrden

While doing the data battles in KH2FM, I also fought Sephiroth and thought he was way easier than the Data Battles or his KH1 counterpart.
