KH Birth By Sleep Final Mix (PS4) - Master Eraqus (LV1 Critical/Terra) *No Zero EXP/No Damage*
4This fight, this fight right here is the reason I stopped recording these months ago. I KNEW I could no damage this and wouldn't stop until I did. Yet despite how long I spent trying to No Damage this, it only took me 3 tries to do it once I came back to the game.
This is the first fight where you are more or less forced to wait for the AI to kill itself. His light sphere attack is what you want to happen as much as possible. You can also deflect the light blades but its sometimes unreliable if they come at you in a specific way and can hit you between guards. Be careful of his health as once he drops to a little less then 2 bars he will automatically do a teleport attack signalling his second phase. If you can force it after reflecting his attack then you don't have to worry about the teleport being random.
One of the big problems I had back then was that I was being too aggressive and trying to speed up the second phase by provoking him with Fire and using shotlocks during his DMs. Don't do that, provoking him during the second phase only encourages him to abuse his teleport attack. If you don't, he will only use his teleport after reflecting the light spheres and doing damage. One of the things you might notice is how I jump during his spinning lasers. I think his AI is designed to never spawn the lasers on top of you but I always jump just to be safe.
Also, this is the last fight of Terra's story I am willing to do No Damage. The remaining fights are too hectic and can't reasonably be done with No Damage on Zero EXPless Lv1.

Q: What does the title mean by "No Zero EXP"?
A: In the HD version of BBS, Zero EXP was given hidden properties to buff you up to an acceptable Strength and Magic level to actually deal damage to enemies that are way stronger then you. This also happens in the HD version of KH1 but unlike in that game, this game goes way overboard and makes it actually more viable to play the game at Level 1 then Critical Mode normally. Because of this, I am removing Zero EXP on bosses to get the true Level 1 like on the PSP version.
