Can You Beat Kingdom Hearts 2 at LV1 With NO ABILITIES!!!? Pt.1

Hello, Fellow Gamers… This Kingdom Hearts 2 Project is going to be a challenge video with the question, Can You Beat Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix at Level 1 With NO ABILITIES.

The rules are as follows (there wasn’t enough space on the page in the video to clarify, so I’ll do it here):
1) You Must Play On Critical Mode
2) No Abilities Except EXP 0 and Scan
3) No Boosts (No Strength/Defence/Magic/AP Boosts)… Also No Accessories or Armour
4) No Altering Party Abilities: You are not allowed to turn abilities on or off except for World Specific Limits (So no activating Favourable abilities like Donald Blizzard or Fire and no deactivating unfavourable abilities like Auto Limit or Party Specific Cure Abilities that cause them to waste MP Items on themselves).
5) No using Sora, Donald or Goofy’s limits: Trinity Limit, Duck Flare, Knocksmash, Comet or Whirl Goof.
6) You Must Play with the Kingdom Key until you are able to equip the Hidden Dragon (Then play with the Hidden Dragon for the rest of the game).
7) If You use a Drive Form you are not allowed to change the secondary Keyblade: This Means that Valor Form will always have Star Seeker, Master Form will probably have the Kingdom Key and Final Form will probably have Oathkeeper.

Drive Forms, Items and Magic are all allowed, you can also change a party member’s settings (Party Attack, Sora Attack, etc…).

The purpose of this challenge is to reintroduce fun to the game for players who feel that Level 1 has become too easy.
This challenge could be much harder (No Magic, No Items, no TV, etc…), but the purpose of this challenge is not to flex, it is just to make it more fun for players who find that the game has become too easy.
If it makes you guys feel any better, I usually like to listen to podcasts while I record footage, so I did play the entire game through with no volume… so there’s an extra layer of challenge there.

Considering that every big Kingdom Hearts content creator is moving onto enemy randomisers, I wanted to return to the base game and show that there is still plenty left to achieve in the game without mods… even though those randomisers do look cool.

All Bosses and major challenges will be uploaded separately in their own videos.
