man, looking back at this fight years later you realize this boss is one of those "skill check" bosses that a lot of older games back then had. it's one of the hardest fights for a first playthrough, but once you know all the openings and get a grasp on the timing it's not a hard fight.
Man you’re right back then a lot of games had those “skill check” boss fights lol this is for sure one of them. I mean this is probably the hardest main story battle right? I never got around to learning it in my earlier playthroughs but learning the fight now is pretty fun and rewarding
This boss taught me patience and I didn’t learn until the next 2 hours how to beat him. No spamming attack, just blocking and reflecting making openings
For real!!!!! He always has that stupid wind barrier that blocks all attacks and you can't even use Learn or Jump fast enough because his attacks be hella fast!!!
Thanks for this video, didn't know how to not take damage with the green aura attacks until I saw this! I also didn't know how to deal with him dissapearing and re appearing so quickly like that!!
HOW DOES ONE GET SO GOOD AND THESE FIGHTS?!?!! I always find it so satisfying and complexing at the same time that people get so good at following patters in order to beats these games like cake
This has nothing to do with Xaldin,or the fight (aside from it has to do with another organization member) BUT on my level 1 CM run Xaldin,nor Xigbar,two of debatably the most trouble giving storyline bosses weren't what was giving me a hard time,the boss that actually gave me a hard time was Roxas (Story line),ironically because it took me 4 1/2 to 5 straight hours of having a pretty good tactic to beat Roxas,which honestly felt like...20 minutes because I was strangely having fun. (Perhaps it was because I made the tactic MOSTLY myself rather then following someone elses? I don't know) Anyway I digress you have fun and keep doing what you're doing Will
You know I have the fight uploaded? Just take off combo pluses and do two guard break combos then 2 extra hits and he'll only do 2 attacks with no DM. Make sure to stay near him though
I do know and I did know at the time,I just wanted to do it with my own tactic (which from what I've seen in BizKit047's speedruns is still relatively close to what I do)
berserk is a different thing, it makes you not able to end your combo with a finisher if you have 0 mp. And yes, defeating the grim reapers 1st form with give you it
I don't need to know (or at least I don't think I need to know?) but mind explaining why you attack him when he rides his Spear Dragon(?) because I'm pretty sure he's invincible,if he's not let me know. (By the way with some of Xaldin's moves I would've been impressed if you did a leveled run,anyway keep doing what you do,and keep posting these cool and awesome videos Will)
@@808GameFreak drive forms give you growth abilities when you level them up, ex: leveling up wisdom gives you quick run or leveling up limit will give dodge roll
I defeated xaldin now! But I can't defeat the badass roxas I tried being fresh he defeats me I try blocking all his attacks I try being stupid defeats me I used my form got closer but still defeats me
Oh wow you just dash through his laser. I just fight him yesterday on proud and couldn't figure how to dodge that. I thought maybe reflect would've been required. Weird though you're level 1 and have all the high form abilities. Idk how to level half the forms they gain no xp.. besides valor which I got to lv6
You probably figured it out, but every form has ingame description that says how to level it. Valor gets exp for every melee hit, Wisdom for killed Heartless, Master for picked up drive orb, Final for killed nobodies, and Limit for finisher on its special abilities.

I’m running this on Level 1 and I knew he was gonna be a problem 😂 Never knew his openings that well

YES. omg this was by far the most difficult fight in the game in my first playthrough.
I think I died like 10 times before I finally beat him 😂

Hardest boss fight in the game to me story and side

Actually you can chesse him so bad so i think sephiroth is the hardest boss
@@thekingofdark2778 I cheesed sephiroth as a kid lol. this guy I just had no answer for . didnt know what I was doing.
@@kefkapalazzo1 what do you mean you cheesed him? I still dont understand his phase 3
@@thekingofdark2778 I destroyed Sephiroth so fast. Xaldin or Demyx (data version) are definitely the hardest.
Xaldin is actually pretty easy if u collect Triangle after his teleport attacks
I guess you could say...Belle sure...KNOCKED THE WIND OUTTA HIM!
The first boss fight in Kingdom Hearts that made me realize this isn’t just a kids game. Idk how many times Mickey saved me 😂😂😂
Yeaa it's definitely one of those bosses that taught me how to not spam the attack button
Thanks for this video, didn't know how to not take damage with the green aura attacks until I saw this! I also didn't know how to deal with him dissapearing and re appearing so quickly like that!!

Everyone talking about the boss fight and belle punching him. But is no one gonna acknowledge that leap he made. 😂
Well, he is a Dragoon in spirit.
@@glacierwolf2155 He controls the Dragoons
Man cleared 80 foot vertical and 300 foot horizontal. I’m surprised Belle maintained her composure.
It would have been totally hilarious if you hear a Record Scratch when Belle Punched xaldin xD
Stockman sham video?
This Video (th-cam.com/video/gjK8bA555CI/w-d-xo.html) does just that.
The way the music just cuts when he gets an elbow to the gut is perfect
Man I wish there were more Xaldin in the KH story lol
Also I love his accent and his violet colored eyes!!!
Sora : No damage
Meanwhile
Donald and Beast: Death 💀
I find this the hardest storyline boss in the game, even harder than Xemnas.
Roxas is much harder bro, you have Mickey and your party member to save your ass against Xaldin. Yo u're on your own with Roxas...
@@hadriennostrenoff9135i had to use mickey 100% what party member can you play as during the fight?
@@imcasualjimm Well, Sora ? I'm not sure I get your question
@@hadriennostrenoff9135 you said "mickey and your party member to save your ass" i was wondering who the party member was
@@imcasualjimm Donald/Goofy/Beast

I did not know you can consistently jump above that teleporting attack he does that gave me the biggest issue in the level 1 run im doing
Joshua Bradford i mashed triangle to get the 9 jumps and spam at the last health bar
I always tried gliding around to avoid xaldins DM
Well this is the story version so it wouldn't of mattered cause you had no way of getting Final Form at the time (not from my knowledge anyway)
@@SoulFoxie ye you unlock final for, after beating roxas
*When the Eldritch Knight/storm sorcerer multiclass has had enough:*
God why tf is it always the ones few away from the final boss? Dragon Maleficent was a bitch of a boss fight for me in KH1
How you do that combo in the air
The former of Radiant Guardian of course Xaldin & Leaxeaus is OP
How to get Berserk on LV1 run?
By berserk I meant horizontal slash, I believe that how it's called
You learn it after defeating the Grim Reaper on The Black Pearl
berserk is a different thing, it makes you not able to end your combo with a finisher if you have 0 mp. And yes, defeating the grim reapers 1st form with give you it

I'm just fucking around when I do it. It still makes the sound like you actually hit him
Dang. Who needs “Jump”? Lol.
i know I'm late but how can you do so many horizontal slashes? i only can do 2
you need air combo plus abilities
So I guessing Xaldin is really Gaston after he joined Organization XIII?😜
Unlucky Xaldin you lose
Epic
How are you able to do Horizontal Slash 4 times instead of 2?
Air combo plus
@@WillJV2 Thanks!! Also, is that high jump and dash you’re using to dodge his abilities? How’d you get them so early on?

This is insaneeeeee
Someone please tell me the best way to defeat this guy and easy I've fought him at least 7 times and I can't defeat him!
Just try it. Seven tries is nothing
I defeated xaldin now! But I can't defeat the badass roxas I tried being fresh he defeats me I try blocking all his attacks I try being stupid defeats me I used my form got closer but still defeats me
@@obiwan8934 I can gelp but you have to give me examples how he defeats you
@@donerbezwinger7984 most of the time he defeats me and slashing his keyblades like f*k
you tube boy this Is just practice. You have to get the time to dodge or block the attack.
I dont want use interaction "learn" but I can' t.
Oh wow you just dash through his laser. I just fight him yesterday on proud and couldn't figure how to dodge that. I thought maybe reflect would've been required. Weird though you're level 1 and have all the high form abilities. Idk how to level half the forms they gain no xp.. besides valor which I got to lv6
You probably figured it out, but every form has ingame description that says how to level it. Valor gets exp for every melee hit, Wisdom for killed Heartless, Master for picked up drive orb, Final for killed nobodies, and Limit for finisher on its special abilities.
You can get three combo plus abilities from leveling up Valor form at this stage.
Probably late to ask, but I wonder why the player never used the Learn reaction command? It would've made the fight even easier.
It is inconsistent
Right, it says no RC's right in the description. My bad.
wow
