Terra Crit Lvl1 Dashes/Curaga Route

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

	** If you see this in the notes I am highlighting an alternative strat which may be easier to execute or am explaining a certain detail in the notes. You can choose to read or disregard these or any reason.


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 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 and run when it gets there. After he flashes in darkness dive close to where he is charging, hopefully he will hit you which will cancel his charge and do the swinging attack again. If he runs around you he'll do the jumping attack instead which is slower but you can still deal with. Remember that Ven's finisher gives you I-Frames.
12.
13. Dwarf Woodlands
14. - Get Flame Salvo in Vault with Sonic Shadow movement, then get the Fission Firaga chest, head towards forced fight
17. - Menu Before Forced Fight: Fission -> quick blitz
18.         Blizzard -> Empty
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 and should be unnecessary)
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
			- Technical Strat: use all commands except for mine square, cura until he's knocked down, when done hit him with fire strike and blizzard. When he does the attack where he flies strat into the air and charges at you set up a mine square, position yourself right behind it and use the finisher close to when he is going to charge you. It is a very tight timing window but if done right mirror will instantly die. If he doesn't then wail on him until he does. You can watch this strat here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUnrbRJOq2o			If he doesn't use dive right away wait until he does and get in some damage.

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

88.         - Be careful not to use Thunder Surge until you have entered Firestorm!

124.        – Phase 1: ignite, 6-8 shotlock twice. Then hit twice, ignite twice. hit twice to go into firestorm and fire dash. Then space out commands (using ignite whenever you can) to stop him from retaliating. If you space them out too far apart he will retaliate, if you're too aggressive he can retaliate and kill you. Always use ignite whenever they are off cooldown, try to use firestorm finisher to end the fight.
*****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 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 Attack 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 (avoid the center of the room while doing this so enemies don't spawn too early)
        - Get up against the left wall, enter Cinderella's D-Link, jump and lock-on, then use Enchanted Step in mid-air.
        - Drop down to your right in next room to get the Fleeting Crystal chest

            - Use Flame Salvo to finish him off
130.                Gunless is possible but very rare and very rng heavy.

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
133.    - Moogle Shop: Sell: Fira, Blackout, Ignite x1 and extra commands (Pay attention to what you have!)
134.                   Buy: If you have 2300 Munny or more buy Thunder Surge x3, Block

(if by some crazy chance you don't have enough munny just go to the room across from the moogle, use Cindy-Dlink, jump on the trampoline and enchanted step the totem pole. You'll get a thundaga to sell. But remember to refill D-Link on the way to the Pan fight)

138.        – Pan: Thunder Surge at start, ignite, then enter Ven D-Link. Attack him into the corner and mash until death. Adjust position to keep Terra's body in front of him at all times.
139.    - Leave the room and re-enter
140.        - Dash forward, then spam Magneras both in and outside of Aqua D-Link for Jellyshade Swarm II

                                Cura + Cura + Pulsing Crystal = Curaga (Second Chance)
                                Block (Lvl1) + Esuna + Fleeting Crystal = Renewal Block (Attack Haste)
                    Commands:
                        Thunder Surge x5,
						Fire Surge

                        Magnega
                        Equip Renewal Block
						Unequip Sonic Impact (personal preference)

154.    - Go to Keyblade Graveyard/Badlands, then Land of Departure to fight Master Eraqus
155.        - Spam 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 counters 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
163.    - Enter Final Battles
164.        - Vanitas & Master Xehanort
165.            - Dash forward and to the left at start of fight to make Xehanort teleport away. Enter Peter Pan D-Link, and hit Vanitas with aerial hits until the gauge is full
166.            - Partially use Flame Salvo (6-8) 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).
To use Swordbill just press the Action button, release it, then press and hold once Terra's arm has moved backwards.

168.        - Master Xehanort
169.            – Dive forward and spam  surges. Then hit him twice/three times and use Bladecharge/Thunderstorm finisher. If you get
170.    –If he breaks out dodge whatever attack he does and try to get him back in the loop with a surge.
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 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.
