Kingdom Hearts 1 is the entry that started it all and even with it being the first it was still fairly challenging to this day many consider Kingdom Hearts 1 to be the most difficult in the series and that's nothing short of having to do with the game's secret bosses after clearing out a good chunk of the main story a handful of new challenges will appear around the world if you go back to Neverland and speak to Tinkerbell inside of the ship she will lead you back to the clock tower only this time a shadowy figure known as the Phantom will be presiding a big reason for the difficulty of this battle has to do with it challenging the conventions of what kingdom hearts has been to this point for the most part you can get through the entire game by just hitting the attack button throw in a couple heals and every boss in the game will fall through enough perseverance the thing that makes Phantom so difficult is that you can't apply that logic to this battle Phantom's whole mechanic is that he can only be attacked with a color below his body it's constantly changing making it so that players have to focus more on using magic not only that but the player would need to micromanage the clock preventing it from running out of time because if it does then you're done so you really have to focus on stopping and paying attention which kind of challenges the fast-paced action of the rest of the game learning to adapt is what makes it so difficult and winning really feels like beating someone at yes it takes some time but pay attention and learn to read your opponent through Kingdom Hearts chain of Memories Sora will have occasional encounters with Riku the deeper Sora goes into the castle the stronger Riku will become with every battle now imagine that you just cleared out the destiny Island section of the game and you get comfortable right at the save point beforehand because the next fight in this game would be the reason that you never ever completed as a child I kid you not I got bodied so badly by replica 4 I didn't come back for Revenge until my adulthood and it still gave me issues Roberto got it on the first drawing mind you I'm not someone who would spam slides in order to get through the battle mainly because I didn't know how to use them so I would just smash my face into the controller like every other Kingdom Hearts player but Riku replica 4 just has the last few iterations with so much more speed and damage you'd likely have to go back and grind for better cards but I do remember struggling a lot with this one now I see YouTube videos of people just spamming Sonic Blade to completely destroy this boss maybe I'm just bad [Music] three two one one of the most iconic video game boss battles in history the fight with sephiroth is absolute Peak with Kingdom Hearts 2 being considered much easier than Kingdom Hearts one most people thought getting through the game was a breeze most of the game's challenge was dialed down to make it more appealing and then you make your way into the dark depths of Hollow Bastion and find sephiroth this is his second appearance in the game and instantly cemented himself in history I bet you the first time you fought him you were not anticipating that reaction Command right at the beginning you got all cut up and that's okay they just got to jump on us then with the run back you successfully blocked in and needed to learn the rest of his kids from his incredible speed range ability to teleport sore always needs to stay on his toes after a few health bars he adds in these dark Spears to throw off your movement but at no point does he let up there's also that moment where he will take up all of your HP within a single hit leaving you with no magic to heal yourself so you had to resort to using items and those who battled sephiroth in vanilla Kingdom Hearts 2 didn't have limit form to rely on it's so helpful in Final Mix but it does make the battle a lot easier still sephiroth and Kingdom Hearts 2 really push players to their limits and after winning this fight you get one of the coolest action sequences in the series seeing cloud and sephiroth Duke it out to a literal other world was insane it's a shame we never got this conclusion in Kingdom Hearts 3. in Kingdom Hearts 0.2 players take control of Aqua during her time in The Realm of Darkness he or she faces off against Darkness poor mental health and her doubts being physically manifested when exploring the snow white section Aqua will be forced to face off against Shadow clones of herself with each encounter they get a bit more challenging after completing the game there will now be hidden zodiac symbols for players to find throughout the world after collecting all 12 of them a mirror will open up where you can find the final Phantom aqua and I consider this to be one of the greatest boss fights in the Kingdom Heart series it's incredibly challenging mixing up the players with magic unblockables and an incredibly tough desperation move you really need to pay attention to her moveset in order to punish her she also weighs no time being staggered making it difficult to land a complete combo without being punished and Punishment punishment and crime and because of this you have to work extra hard to clear it it's one of the most rewarding battles in the series because of how it takes Aqua to another level I really didn't know this character had this much combat potential until it was put to the test they should have copied and pasted this exact fight into Kingdom Hearts 3 I would have loved to battle her with sora's full moveset the first encounter with sephiroth in the series still sends shivers down my spine the opening cutscene where he just teleports out of the sky and his fiery glory is just drilled into my head the arena is super scary with thorns growing out of the side and the sky being purple do you remember what it was like to attack him for the first time and you noticed that with every hit his health bar was not decreasing at all wait this isn't right I call Shenanigans I thought I was doing something wrong until I realized that this man just has that much HP they didn't program another bar they just extended it without letting you know and then there's the rest of the fight I went into this battle after my encounter with his version in Kingdom Hearts 2 and Sora is just so much slower in this game you really have to play it close and fast sephiroth would waste no time pulling up on you with a fast Flash Fire or Darkness the camera is also fairly limiting in this fight occasionally getting stuck whenever sephiroth would teleport which is something you need to account for when using your moves it took me hours to finally defeat this battle but man was in such a rush when I finally brought them down when Kingdom Hearts 3 remained was released it featured tons of new and challenging boss battles to participate in some players consider these fights some of the greatest designs in the series and I I fully agree with the sentiment with Kingdom Hearts 3 not really having much to battle outside of dark Inferno it was pleasant to get to know an entirely new data organization to battle with older members having newer movesets and new members being a tree all on their own ultimately any data organization battle could be put in the spot everyone has that one that they struggle with the most on their first playthrough but from my personal experience the one that got me the most was Data psyx slow motion over there this guy oh no you should not be allowed to do that oh no he could stun you oh my God I have to learn an entirely new different bosses move set after I just had to deal with the dark recruit thing my health uh my brain is strange he's just so incredibly aggressive for most of this battle the thing for me is that he has the ability to stun sawar with certain hits and getting caught with this needs to be wide open to basically instantly die then there's those waves of flames that are unblockable and I will often be in the area that I dodged into when rieman came out I spent a majority of my time streaming my first experience and data science took me the longest to defeat out of everyone master xehanor and xion felt like Child's Play compared to what data science put me through if you have any data organization nightmare stories please share them in the comments this is a safe space and I just like reading that kind of stuff Kingdom Heart secret bosses are supposed to be the most difficult they're designed to make you want to destroy your controller in some sense although the game is supposed to fool you with a sense of Pride when the battle is finally completed but what they did with mysterious figure the amount of concocted evil they produced in this brain dead battle if you played this on the original PSP I'm sure your handheld has some cosmetic damage right now from the very beginning it is just a slot of attacks and since this is Birth by Sleep the character movements are a lot more limited aqua and then at least have a little bit of a chance when using their dodging abilities but poor Tara he is built like an ax I've never seen someone struggle so badly most people have conceded and gone with using the Thunder surge Strat which is basically building an entire deck of Thunder searches and spamming it throughout the entire battle because trying to actually learn to counter this battle is almost meaningless it's so incredibly hyper aggressive it loses a lot of the satisfaction that comes with winning but still defeating it is incredibly tough for those who choose not to spam especially those who choose not to cheese it with Tara y'all are built entirely differently after completing Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix players will receive a notification of a gate appearing in Disney Castle upon entering the gate you'll appear in A Wasteland where a red and gold body of armor waits for you this is the lingering will a personified version of hatred and grief and it is one of the best and most challenging Kingdom Hearts battles out there I mentioned how Kingdom Hearts 2 is considered one of the easier entries in the series but the lingering wheel throws that entire notion out of the window all of his moves have the ability to bring Sora down to a single bit of HP he has range and speed using his keyblade glider to get around but he also tries to overwhelm the player with lasers and whips with one of these moves he has the ability to steal swords physical or magical attacks you basically have to use the other as a mechanic to bring it back point is lingering wheel requires you to be on your A-game the entire time and his final desperation move requires near perfection in order to dodge it you can't just Spam Glide or Dodge roll to get around you have to read his moves and understand when the windows will be open there is a way to cheese this battle using the fenrio keyblade so that does remove a lot of the challenge but treating this as the epic Clash between keyblade wielders like it is is much more of a rewarding experience the Kingdom Heart Series has pushed its players further Beyond anyone could imagine for a fun Mickey Mouse game combat situations that are akin to titles like Dark Souls Devil May Cry and other heavy action titles although the one battle to really surpass any other and bring out an entirely new level of gameplay has to be yazora from Kingdom Hearts 3 remind I made a community post about which kingdom hearts boss is the most difficult and I asked you guys and yazora won with little to no competition upon facing him for the first time the game anticipates that you would lose this first encounter so much so they created an entirely CG cutscene where sores getting bodied for the first time they've put a million dollars into their high quality cutscene of you getting clapped but that's only the beginning Zora can teleport has projectiles contains unblockables can summon clones change the entire Arena send those God forsaken mechs at you if you're foolish enough to enter this battle with a Kubo coin an item that will revive Sora when his HP is reached zero then you have made a colossal mistake as yazora has the ability to steal it and will get half of his HP back after he's dead it is one of the most mental Mind Games I've ever seen but it is an example of a pinnacle boss fight you start the battle and all of his attacks seem nearly impossible to defeat but with every attempt you learn something more and start to put it all together all of a sudden you can properly Dodge time magical attacks and punish his moves adding it all together to create a successful run defeating Azora is such a satisfying feeling and set the bar for what a Kingdom Hearts boss battle can be considering this is the most recent attempt at it Kingdom Hearts 4 will have massive shoots to fill but that's what I think these are the 10 most difficult boss battles in the Kingdom Heart series of course let me know which ones I'm missing because you know the comments love telling me how I'm fitting 40 boss battles into a top 10 y'all are crazy I love it never change these are the ones that put me into the ground especially that damn boat I'll never forgive the pirates for this [Music] so much for
