True, but Halo's story is finished...

Are you serious right now? I made that video 3 years ago, and it was one of the first I ever uploaded onto UKposts. Did I make a mistake? Yes. Should I have researched it better? Yes. But attempting to discredit everything I’ve said in any video since because of one error is fallacious and disingenuous on your part.

I’m happy you enjoyed. Yep, most weapons in this game have at least one situation in which they are just downright bad to use. If you aren’t aware of these, things can get much more difficult. Thanks for taking the time to leave such a nice comment! Have a great day!

That's Vanitas' will.

@@Altefkatr No, that guy heals himself if you heal yourself with a Cure command. I'm pretty sure Terranort heals himself if you have one in your deck at all.

The point of this video is to show how this boss can be for an average gamer just playing the game casually. I'm not the most skilled gamer in the world, but I don't see how that matters. Also, this isn't Dark Souls. It's Kingdom Hearts. Getting one shot all the time by unguardable attacks isn't 'fun'. It's annoying.

For sure. I know I have a few takes that most other gamers don't agree with. Thanks for watching.

Yeah, I get where you're coming from. I would concede some of the issues I highlighted in this video aren't just about the design of this specific boss, but also issues with the battle system of Birth by Sleep as a whole (especially the lack of animation cancelling). However, this boss is just on another level when it comes to unfair/unbalanced design. I also agree on the 'meta' aspect of things. This game can be very punishing if you don't play 'a certain way'. You feel almost forced to cheat because the boss is cheating and if you don't respond the same way then you're just playing at a disadvantage.

I can understand why you feel this way. Sometimes when you come back to something after a break or have some time to reflect on it, you view it differently. Thanks for taking the time to comment and for sharing your input!

Blocking is not just your best friend. It’s the only way for you to actually beat him. Because I was in the exact same boat. Like you can dodge or attack all you want, but that’s not going to do crap. I learnt that the hard way. Blocking is the meta in this fight.

Well, the title says 'worst' and not 'hardest' for a reason. Although I might've said 'hardest' at some point in the video, under that criteria I wouldn't be including super bosses since there are definitely super bosses harder than this one.

@@frostbyteskylight Mysterious figure is worse game design wise as he actively punishes you for using mechanics the game teaches you and expects you to use throughout the game. Too many cures and in the wrong slots in your deck, inescapable doom. Try using a shotlock? Bad idea, he notices and goes apeshit aggressive until you die. Attack with a move that doesn't come with invincibility, uh-oh you lost. All his attacks kill you without second chance/once more. Every single one.

@@jakksonkobalt very true and being at max lvl doesn’t help much either it’s extremely difficult because the ai is cheap as heck and his healing mechanic often leaves you near death

Okay, I knew there would be at least one person who left a comment like this. Did you actually watch the video? I didn’t just say ‘this boss is poorly designed because it’s hard’. I gave a list of reasons with footage to back it up. As I said near the beginning, I went into this with the explicit goal of NOT cheesing the fight. Because EVERY fight is easy if you cheese it. Please take your Dark Souls arrogance somewhere else.

@@frostbyteskylight lol dude, you heard get gud and you came swinging, calm down. Yes I watched the rest of the video, most of the points you brought up seemed like skill issues. Not being able to block attacks or learn the boss fight properly. For instance the fact that he only spams the shoulder ram if you use ranged or homing attacks. The entire battle is designed to incentivize you to play defensively instead of button mashing and because it is a lot easier to do that in the other fight it's "better" somehow doesn't make sense to me. you had half your slots for Venitas filled with the surge moves that are known for being able to cheese half the bosses in the game. you had little chance of losing that fight if you just spammed your commands and healed before death, except for the end part which you yourself admitted was annoying bullshit, but still rank it as one of your favorite boss fights.

You’re right. Hard doesn’t mean badly designed. That said, for a main story boss this one always has been ass and badly designed. Playing on critical most of the fight relies of luck and its fucking boring and frustrating. Oh and did i mention boring? Terrible boss fight. Not counting super bosses this is indeed probably the worst boss in the series. I mean shit. The data org on critical in KH2 are far harder and yet they aren’t nearly as annoying and feel way more fair, and those guys are fuckin’ super bosses.

@@GrimmiesN Its not luck. Every attack has a different way of dodging or blocking to give you an opening. Again, just because you can't mash the attack button doesn't mean the boss is bad. You can personally think it's less fun, but it is not poorly designed. It's simply designed differently than a lot of bosses in the game.

@@overlordjames6644 I have to agree with this. Terranort is one of the first bosses that counters the general strategy that most players have, which is more or less to dodge attacks, heal yourself, then just out heal the boss. The problem is that when you heal, Terranort also has a habit of healing as well. The bonus Vanitas fight also does this in order to discourage this strategy. I don't remember if the Young Xehanort secret boss also does this since I only fought the guy once years ago. I definitely took about a dozen tries to figure out Terranort's attack pattern, more than any other boss during the game. However, I would rate the Terra vs Terranort fight around the same difficulty as Riku of KH1 in Hollow Bastion and argue the same strategies can be used despite it being a different game. The key thing here is that this is one of the few fights where blocking is significantly more important than dodging and that is what tends to throw a lot of people off for these fights. Instead of waiting for an opening, you have to create that opening. I feel what makes the Aqua vs Terranort fight so much easier is the fact that Aqua's block is a full 360 compared to Terra and Ven who only block things in front of them. EDIT TO ADD: My vote for the most annoying fights are either Final Xenmas from KH2 or Replica Xehanorts of KH3. Final Xenmas is annoying because of the switch to Riku halfway through the fight. You have a time limit to get through Xenmas's barriers or else you restart the fight. You have very little time to get adjusted to Riku's style. Replica Xehanorts is annoying simply because it can turn into a game of hide and seek.

Massive respect for beating this boss on critical mode. I don’t think I could ever summon that amount of strength. Yeah, Ars Solum does a lot of damage but it’s risky to use because if you miss you are wide open for a counterattack. Last and most importantly, thanks so much for dropping by and leaving a comment! Your support really means a lot to me.

@@frostbyteskylight Hey, it only takes me some seconds to up engagement for the algorithm, always happy to see a new channel rise! Honestly I expected the video to be about Mysterious Figure, but Terranort makes more sense since it's mandatory TWICE

I'm happy you enjoyed it. Sure, ask away.

​@@frostbyteskylighthave you played any soulsborne games before if so what you think of of them and fromsoftware approach to storytelling

​@@frostbyteskylightexuse me did my comment came in

@@sueflewelling3657 I haven't played any of the dark souls games, but I have played Sekiro. I found the game very hard but also a good time. I think FromSoftware also relies a lot on lore (maybe a bit too much) but in the case of Sekiro I think there were enough good story moments to keep things moving.
