[IXAL]

I heared that in Re:CoM you can chose to play either by card mode or the regular mode like KH and KH 2 is that true?

and I know this question isn't relative to this forum but does anyone know when the english version of Birth by Sleep will be released?

does anybody no how to beat "ruler of the sky" in kingdom hearts 358/2 days

that boss is soooooo stupid, it took me a while
what i did is just attack his tail, when he turns red and starts charging at you, get as low as possible so he won't reach you, then when he starts shooting coins, fly around in a circle getting closer to him so you can attack him when he stops shooting coins and repeat
watch out for the ice tower things he creates
it's a long battle, took me about 20 minutes to defeat him

IXAL- This is for 358/2 Days mostly. But no, you can only play with cards for both Riku and Sora. It's still a good game; you should play it.

Becky- He's really tough. Here's what one of the most trusted Days Walkthrough said:

This guy is the main boss for Never Land, and he can be pretty frustrating if you are not ready for him. The fight lasts a long time, and there are some nasty attacks that are only revealed partway through.
The Ruler of the Sky begins by just flying around, more or less ignoring you. He does two attacks during this time:

1. Icebergs. The Ruler of the Sky will constantly be making icebergs pop out of the water as he passes. If you are looking down, you can see where these are about to pop up by looking for whirlpools. If you run into an iceberg at any point, you will take damage. They really shouldn't be a problem though. As long as you are following the Ruler of the Sky pretty closely, these will always be behind you.

2. Water shots. Every now and then, the Ruler of the Sky's tail will shoot out a sequence of two to six heat-seeking water shots. If one hits you, it will take a while for you to recover, so you might get hit by more before you can move. Furthermore, each water shot that hits you will heal the Ruler of the Sky slightly. You can tell when these are coming because a few seconds beforehand, the tail will dip down slightly and then arch up. This will usually happen at the beginning of a straightaway. If you are having trouble spotting this, don't worry about it too much. The water shots don't do too much damage, so you can just take the hits and heal afterwards if you need to.

During this time, your goal is to hit the Ruler of the Sky's tail. I recommend that no matter what weapon you are using, you stick to two-hit combos here. If you do more attacks per combo, you will end up missing a lot and giving the Ruler of the Sky more time to get away.

After you do a certain amount of damage, part of the tail will fall off, and the Ruler of the Sky will go berserk. First of all, stop attacking immediately! If you run into him, perhaps because you are still attacking, you will get hit. Now the Ruler of the Sky is going to start flying back and forth trying to smash into you. And if you get close to the water, he will also shoot out salvos of water shots. This is the hardest part of the fight.

The best response I think is to go down to water level, so you are generally too low for the Ruler of the Sky to reach you. The water shots will still follow you though, and if one hits you, you will get hit multiple times and end up taking a lot of damage. Watch the Ruler of the Sky on your mini-map and try to always move at an angle to his path when he charges. (In particular, to avoid the first charge, you should fly out one way, and then turn a little bit afterwards. Do NOT target the Sky Ruler during this time, or the rotating camera will mess you up.) You also need to watch out for islands while flying. If you get caught on one, you're in trouble. Also, aim away from the edge of the map while you can, because you don't want to get caught there.

Once that attack is done with, the Ruler of the Sky will dive underwater and then emerge somewhere else and start pelting you with coins from his treasure chest. You can either hide behind an island or dodge the coins. After a few volleys, he will return to flying around like he was at the start. You now need to knock off three more tail pieces, and dodge two more sets of ram attacks.

After the third piece of the tail is knocked off, you go straight into Phase
2. The Ruler of the Sky will once again go berserk, but now he will switch strategies. He will do one lazy flight towards you, and then he will circle around you, summoning icebergs and shooting out water shots. Move to one side to avoid the initial charge, and always be moving up or down to avoid the water shots. Once the Ruler of the Sky starts circling, there is no need to move at all except for ascending and descending. Even if you do mess up and get hit here, you should not take too much damage.

Eventually, the Ruler of the Sky will get tired of circling and will start shooting more coins at you. Just fly directly underneath him (use the mini-map to position yourself) to avoid this attack. You can ascend and try to hit him during this time, but you will probably miss a lot unless you use magic. After throwing five volleys of coins, the Sky Ruler will stop and rest for a bit. Use this opportunity to move to his chest and combo him there. You should have time for around 10-12 hits. After that, he will counter by swinging his arms around, so back off to be safe. The Ruler of the Sky will then return once again to circling around you, and you will to repeat the Phase 2 pattern until he dies. You should be fine though; this part is much easier than Phase 1.


I hope this helped!

Okay.. On mission 25 in days. How do you get that dang emblem that's WAY WAY high above the stairs?

[Laz]

High jump lv 3 .

[Roa]

High jump lv 3 .

I have that, i have glide level 3, air slide, level 5, high jump level 3. i still can't get to it.

[Laz]

I got all the emblems so i wouldnt be able to remember the exact position of it. But if you post a picture of it I might be able to help you out.
EDIT: Ok, i replayed that mission right now. just get on the building thats right in front of the tram yard, jump as high as you can, and fly there. It looks like you won't be able to reach it, but you do.

[Roa]

that one roxas is heading to

Has anyone found the mission badge in Day 322 Mission 86?

I'm having trouble locating it.

[silentmusic16]

any tips on beating malificent in CoM for the GBA? i know to hit her head but its kinda hard. and those mickey head cards dont help me in the least. so any tips/advice?

[DemyCookie]

With Leechgrave I recommend to remember the attack patterns and kill all the claw things (forgot name) be careful, the claws can swallow you and you'll be screwed. I recommend you not to be greedy with your attacks. Don't bother with magic. When he uses the gas attack, either block a long time or hover.

Have at least 2 0s and one cure on your deck to break her attacks. dont use sleights you'll run out of cards too fast. Don't be hasty, Let her use her card first, then you counterattack, the mickey card is very useful, cuz it gets her head to a more reachable place. That's all i can say; I didnt have too much trouble with her.
