KHBBSFM Terra Any% Critical Notes: Curaga + Fire Dash Route

Thanks to SonicShadowSilver2 who helped with this route and let me use his notes as a base for these with his permission.

1.  Orbs- 2 hits in the air or any finisher will (typically) send orbs flying. Use that and quick blitz to knock them into each other as much as possible. Use almost full shotlock on 2nd wave.
2.  World Map
3.  - Menu: Turn on Zero EXP and change camera if you want to for preference.
4.
5.  Enchanted Dominion
6.  - Use Ven D-Link until you get LV1, then try to get Aqua's D-Link to LV1.
7.  - Get the Potion chest near the entrance to the next room and get the Blizzard chest to the left in the next room
8.  - Get the Zero Gravity chest to the right and get the Ether chest right next to the stairs in Audience Chamber
9.  - Get the Ether chest next to the 3 Floods in the next room, then go to Aurora's Chamber
10. - Go to the room behind you and get the Sleep chest, then go fight Wheel Master
11. – Hold forward at the start of the fight as you enter Ventus D-Link, this should give you the pattern where he swings his arms at you. Be aware of hp barrier at 8/10ths of his last bar.
12.
13. Dwarf Woodlands
14. - Get Flame Salvo in Vault with Sonic Shadow movement, then get the Fission Firaga chest, head towards forced fight

19.         Zero Gravity -> Empty
21.         Sleep -> Empty
22. - Use Aqua D-Link magnet spam in forced fight. If you haven't gotten Aqua's D-Link level to LV1 entering this fight use Aqua D-Link, hit floods around, and pray
	If you DID NOT get Aqua D-Link LV2 after the forced fight buy a poison from the moogle
   Equip poison->sliding dash if you have to
23. - Use Sonic Shadow movement in Vault,
25. Go fight Magic Mirror (can grab ether right below flame slavo chest if munny is very low (40-50 before forced fight typically) but this is just for safety)
26.     - If Aqua's D-Link is not LV2, dash to Mirror, hit him once + Poison, hit him once or twice and cast blizzard/fission/poison, repeat pattern for rest of fight, use shotlocks when does one of the two moves flying towards you
27.     - If he does the hallway, then attack the one that is smiling. If he moves from left to right, then shotlock him
28.     - If he does the circle attack, then use Blizzard to shoot the one that's smiling once he stops or slide past the orbs
29.         - If Aqua's D-Link is LV2, dash to him, hit him twice+fission then enter Aqua D-Link
30.         - Use all commands except for Mine Square, Fire Strike, and Cura by mashing Triangle, then use Magic Volley after Magnera
31.         - If he moves from left to right or dives at you, set a Mine Square down, move back, then Magic Volley again
32.         - If he does the circle attack, try to shoot the one that's smiling with Blizzara or slide past the orbs
33.

55.     – Consistent Strat: Use Ven D-Link
        - Less consistent 3-5 second faster strat: Use Aqua D-Link (must be level 2), at start of fight thunder, mine square, finisher. Then mag between his darkness rages and thunder, mine square (when available), and finisher until fight ends
			(Note: which once you use is really up to your choice, I actually find the Aqua strat more consistently personally but I listed them generally for what would be easier to learn)

88.         - Be careful not to use Thunder Surge until you have entered Firestorm!
89.         - Use Magic Commands from under Trinity Armor after breaking both parts during the big laser attack (use thunder surge & normal attacks at your own risk)
90.         - Use Firestorm finisher right when he shoots fireballs after the big laser attack to finish him off (if you used a blizzard this will be diamond dust and works the same)

116.    Olympus Coliseum
117.    - Spam Magnera + Jump + Attack + Thundara in Aqua D-Link in forced fight **the jump attack matters for cp reasons**

120.        - Round 1-9: spam Magnera + Thundara + Finish, Revert at the end of Round 6 O
122.        - Round 10: Immediately mash out a magnet, dash to the middle magnet then finish them with Thundaras (it's possible for Jellies to kill you before you can magnet and it sucks, loses a minute. Dashing to the middle before magneting the fist time is slightly saver, dashing away is safest often)
123.    - Talk to Hades to fight Zack
124.        – Phase 1: ignite, 6-8 shotlock twice. Wait for his retaliation after. Then stun lock him with ignite, fire dash, 2 hits, ignite, 2 hits, ignite/thundara spam until finisher- IF HE JUMPS AWAY AND YOU WHIFF THE ATTACK *RUN* BEFORE HE RETALIATES. Should see him stagger (flinch backwards) while attempting to jump for loop to work. Use firestorm finisher and repeat loop.
125.        – Phase 2 Safe/Slow Strat: Strat A: fully use Flame Salvo in the beginning of 2nd phase, then use Ventus D-Link to loop him in a corner
126.                   Immediately dash back after Finisher, then prepare to use Flame Salvo just in case he breaks out with Hero's Pride
127.        - Fast/Cool/Hard Strat: Fully use Flame Salvo in the beginning, 1 hit & Ignite, dodge counter, 2 hits & Ignite, shotlock during Hero's Pride,
128.                   2 hits, Ignite, dodge counter, 2 hits & Ignite, shotlock during Hero's Pride, Gold Rush & Ignite, repeat until near dead
129.             When he's about to die when you use another Ignite, finish him off with thundara into gold rush! Sometimes gold rush on its own will kill but it is not always reliable!!!
        Deep Space
        - Spam X (English) / O (Japanese) on the Jellyshade Ambush
        - Magnera + Thundara spam while entering and leaving Aqua D-Link between waves dying in forced fight (i.e. Aqua D-Link first wave, revert, kill next wave, D-Link, revert, kill last wave)
        - Get the Wellspring Crystal chest in the upper-right corner in Launch Deck if you did not get a drop

            - When he enters the guns, either run around the room or guard the bullets until he leaves the guns
            - Use Flame Salvo to finish him off

131.     Neverland
132.    - Magnera + Thundara first wave, 2nd Magnera, Aqua D-Link, Mag, Mine Square, Thunder, use Aqua finisher.  Go in middle of Bruisers and use Mag+Thunder then revert and spam Ignite and rest of commands on the last 3 Wild Bruisers
**IF you did not see a series of inexpensive items drop or one really expensive item (i.e. Thundara, Cura) go to the room to the left of the moogle use Cindy D-link and enchanted step on top of trampoline to get Thundaga for you to sell)
133.    - Moogle Shop: Sell: Fira, Fire Strike Thundara x2, Ignite x1 and extra commands (Pay attention to what you have!)
134.                   Buy:  Thunder Surge x4, Block (3000 Munny)

   **IF Commands are not high enough level to meld yet then kill wave across the water on way to Pan, should be enough
137.    - Only get the Ether chest next to save point in the Cove if you plan on using them for Eraqus for safety, then go fight Peter Pan
138.        – Pan: Thunder Surge stun lock as long as you can, when starts to fly away shotlock (more than 6, below 11)
139.    - Leave the room and re-enter
140.        - Dash forward, then spam Magneras in Aqua D-Link for Jellyshade Swarm II

141.    World Map
154.    - Go to Keyblade Graveyard/Badlands, then Land of Departure to fight Master Eraqus
155.        - Spam Thunder Surges and guard his attacks right after he counters (do this immediately after each counter to try to stay above 1 hp.)
156.        - If you have at least 1 HP Boost, all of his counter will not send you to 1 HP
157.        - How much HP you restore with Renewal Block depends on what attack he uses, so pay attention!
-   After a bit he will stand still and try to run away, punish this with thunder surges or he will shotlock/dm! Cure beforehand if you are at 1 hp! Attempt to punish at 1 hp at your own risk (I don’t recommend it)
158.        - Use Flame Salvo when he uses his DMs and use Ethers if you need to along with Cure
159.
160.    Keyblade Graveyard
161.    - *Menu: Thunder Surge -> Ether
162.        *Only do this menu if you used equipped Ethers for Master Eraqus!
163.    - Enter Final Battles
164.        - Vanitas & Master Xehanort
165.            - Enter Peter Pan D-Link, and hit Vanitas with aerial hits until the gauge is full
166.            - Partially use Flame Salvo until Vanitas lights up and yells, then use Swordbill when he jumps up in the air (or force him to come back up and hit him midair if you get there late).
167.            - Pray that you do not crash if you die and press Retry?
168.        - Master Xehanort
169.            – Dive forward and spam thunder surges. Then hit him twice/three times and use Thunderstorm finisher. If you get Dark Impulse: use all 6 thunder surges then use finisher. Repeat spam and finishers until death.
170.    –If he breaks out dodge whatever attack he does and try to get him back in the loop.
171.    –If you get hit by his combo dodge away before you heal as he likes to follow one combo up with another
172.            - If you end up getting hit by his combo attack when his HP is low, wait until he grabs you, then mash X
173.            – Terranort
174.    -Use Thunder Surges on Terranort when he uses Ars Solum and deflect Dark Volley until he has around 3.75 bars of HP left
175.            - When he has under 3.75 bars of HP left, he will enter 2nd phase
176.            - When he uses the full version of Dark Volley, dash up next to him, sit there, and deflect the last part of Dark Volley
177.            - After deflecting the last part of Dark Volley, you want to try to dash up and use Thunder Surge to punish him
178.    Use Thunder Surge as he DMs. When he DM’s either 1. Get a full shotlock off or 2. Go into a corner of the arena and block the meteors (Beware of Lingering Hit boxes!).
179.    Also be aware that during his DM meteors will come up from underneath the ground and can hit you in the process. As long as you are dashing you’re usually fine.
180.    IF he calls down a single meteor just dodge as far away as possible
181.    When he shoots a giant ball, shotlock through it at 6-8. He will usefully blink around and Ars Solum afterwards so the shorter shotlock gives you time to attempt to punish it
182.    This fight can and will kill you at random for any reason it wants.
183.    Pray.
