Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories - Boss: Marluxia

Boss starts at (3:54)

This is it. Our first fight against the Graceful Assassin, Marluxia! One of my favorite Organization memebers. Before you rip on him for being "Girly" or "Fabulous" let me tell you about his theme. In Japan Cherry Blossoms represent life and death. Since the Cherry Blossom trees bloom and die for a short time, they hold festivals to watch the trees bloom and fall, thinking about this meaning. So Marluxia is like a Grim Reaper. That's why I like him so much.

Anyway Marluxia isn't that difficult of a boss honestly. While he acts slow, his attacks are really strong if they hit. So you can dodge some of his sleights easy, but Sleights like Blossom Shower can destroy Sora if you don't stop him. The best tip I can give you is keep an eye on his cards and counter him.

And I gotta mention that the battle music is beautiful. :D

Enjoy!

Difficulty: Proud Mode

Marluxia: “The Keblade’s Power — how I‘ve longed to make it my own“ funny, now that we know that he had his own Keyblade once

Riku Replica is a surprisingly nice guy

While the battle system can be tedious (especially when farming for experience), it really shines during the battles with organisation 13. It requires patience, good judgement and skilled handling of both the cards as well as the combos. This kind of combat I really like.

8:20 That creeper smile you got there, Sora

[dannybu]

kind of wish Square could have used the opportunity to have Riku be a guest party member in this fight.
1 Card = a three hit combo
2 cards = Dark Firaga
3 cards = Dark Aura

When I was sure that the ps2 was dead, Square Enix released this out of the blue. I got it for Christmas and it prompted me to dust off my ps2 and play it. Marluxia is one of my favorite villains in the series because of how personal it is with him. Unlike Xehanort who just wants to destroy everything. I loved this game both on the ps2 and GBA. First game you can play as Riku; and the combat system isn’t as terrible as everyone makes it out to be. It’s actually pretty easy to get quite overpowered in this one.

Damn this dialogue is like lasagna:
Lots of layers, but ultimately really cheesy

[silentmoon]

Is it me or was the gameboy version hell compared to this

[colinmckoy]

tfw this version is easier than the GBA version

[ren]

I see lots of persons complaining about the card system but i actually like it, it isn't hard if you have the right cards, this game is pretty good if you dedicate time to learn how to play

[Notsurewhorwhy]

Here's how I did it.
Open with Genie Jafar to reduce the chance he can card break you, and either a Vexen or Riku card if you have the chance
Immediately hit him with a tornado to immobilize and then stun him.
Follow up with lethal frame.
Rinse and repeat.
Rising storm is also very useful against him, and I highly recommend exploiting the window from him being stunned to either heal or pop an elixir.

[Reevro]

Better strategy: Use a deck only made of attack and healing cards, and roxas card.
Even though Roxas's card will not get you to beat him you can still get a lot of hp down

[dmitribrook]

I came up with a good strategy while I was beaten relentlessly. The three spinning auras would force him to teleport to me if I get stuck in them, which gave me a gaurenteed lethal frame (most of the time). It took a while to get used to the combat system but it was fun, especially with the boss fights.

[Rikimarusoul]

YO. MY DUDE!

"You turn from the truth because your heart is weak, you will never defeat me! "

[benhughes]

3:37 That’s the flashback used in Kingdom Hearts III.

[Ecua]

I was so scared that I would keep on failing this boss but the first form I only died 2 and the other forms I didn’t die at all. This was surprisingly easy

[HalvoDraws]

So if you have no memory your heart will be destroyed













*What about people with amnesia*

[bovineapples]

8:24 always my reaction when I get the card I want!

[BBC]

I actually liked the combat system it was a breath of fresh air. It was a new experience which I will always welcome.

[metalc.s]

Ok I like Marluxia a lot. But let’s be honest. Luxord would be a more fitting villain for this game
